In his speech at Lima Gov. Nash
gave little attention TO Tom johnson
sud his speeches.
He said that Tom johnson claimed
the laws governing the taxation OF rail-
roads were fraudulent, and yet
they bad been on the statute books for
more than forty years, aud that no one
Democratic or Republican-hade ever
made the discovery that Johnson claims
to have made. The Governor ex-
and showed that the roads re ally do pay
taxes on as great q portion of their
value (60 per cent? as other property,
and that in addition, they paid an ex-
else tax of sl,020.000 per year. He
said johnson believed that the people
OF Ohio were willing to be unjust to
the railroads simply because they are
railroads, "but," said the Governor,
"I have too much respect for the peo-
pie to believe that they wish TO be un-
just to anybody"
He called attention to the falsity OF
the johnson war cry, ''Home rule and
just taxation" by comparing the one.
man power and increasing rate Of taxa.
tion in Cleveland to the government Of
Cincinnati and Of the State of Ohio,
with all officers elected by the people
and tax rates decreasing. He also an
swered Johnson's claim that the public
institutions OF Ohio were extravsgantly
managed by giving figures to prove
that it did not cost rs much to manage
them under Republican administra
tions as it did under Democratic admin
! istrations-
