PAY TAX.ON
Il PERCENT. ! !;

year There are individuals who pay
larger sums than that. and whose prop
erty is much less valuable.
II is talked pretty strongly among
county and city officials that IL the
company. is to be so exacting as to its
pound of flesh" when the road is
next valued for taxation 1t should be
placed upon the duplicate at the same
proportionate value that other prop
erty is appraised at, namely. about 60
per cent. This will mean that instead
of paying on $4,000 1t will pay on
$500000 or more.
The property under the old manage
ment is said to have paid in recent
years. At least that is the statement
of some Of the stockholders. 1t Is
more valuable than 1t has ever been
before owing to the activity in com
mercial and manufacturing lines and
the increased number of residents
along the routes traversed.
Just what the agitation will amount
to in the end cannot be foretold, but It
Is evident that the matter will be
pressed upon the proper authorities
when the new appraisement is made.
GOT ANOTHER BARGAIN.
Along this same line. there are these
who insist that the company secured
the lease on the rooms in the basement
Of the court house too cheaply. The
same accommodations, 1t is claimed,
secured from a private individual,
would have cost $1,000 year instead
of $500. 1t is also claimed that the es-
tablishment Of public waiting rooms
under the vaults in the county treas
ury would give persons who were bent
on robbing the safe an opportunity to
get the lay of the land and carry on
their operations that they do not now
enjoy
The company officials contend that
their present attitude of favors toward
none is the proper one, but whether it
will in the end prove beneficial to the
company or not is problematical. IL
the threats now being made are car
ried out, the county and city treasur-
les will be several thousand dollars
better off each year, IL individuals are
out few quarters for street railway
fare.

some time. The new management
of the Canton Massillon lines has
declared it has no favors to ask

The Canton Massillon street car line,
including the Navarro extension and
the valuable Meyers lake property is
on the tax duplicate of Stark county
for s94,490. The railway is valued at
SOS, 500 for taxation. This includes its
valuable franchises, track. rolling
stock, equipment of all kinds and
terminal facilities.
The lake property, including 262
acres of land, embracing the noted
summer resort and all the buildings.
Is appraised for taxation purposes for
S2S,S70.
The small valuation has been COM
mented upon in the past, but the recent
declarations of the management that
the company would pay for what it got
and demand the same of the public,
has led to the inquiry as to whether or
not the company is doing what it has
declared it would do.
MAKING INQUIRIES.
Some investigation has been made
by parties interested to ascertain
whether or not the street railway com.
pany has been paying for all 1t gets,
especially in the way of taxation. 1t
gets full protection and has possession
of the streets of the cities and the
highways between, without having
paid a cent for the privilege of using
them.
The value of the railway as shown
in the recent sale to the ~ o. r. COM
pany, compared with it's appraised
value is so much greater the authori-
ties, municipal and county, are said to
be preparing to move In the matter.
Ever since the road was sold to the
Everett Moore syndicate through east
ern brokers, there has been curiosity
among the public to learn just what
the price was.
WHAT THE COMPANY PAID.
Az a matter of fact the figures given
by the News-Democrat at the time OF
the sale, that the price was a million
dollars. were very close to the mark.
The Everett-Moore syndicate assum-
ed payment of the 100000 bonds out
standing against the company and paid
Al per cent. on the face value of the
stock held by Mr.. Lynch and others.
The amount of this stock outstanding
was also 100000. and AZ per cent. of
this amounts to s2S2, 1000, which, added
TO the bonds assumed, makes the price
$500
That this is not fictitious value ia
evidenced by the fact that since the
acquisition of the property the Everett
Moore company has foated an addi-
tional bond issue OF 100000. which
bonds are said to have sold for par in
the east. This would make the bonded
indebtedness 100000, which Is sup
posed to be considerably less than the
actual value. -
LESS THAN IL PER CENT.
But taking the selling price as a
basis, the company's holdings are val.
ued at less than II per cent. OF their
true value, and the taxes paid into the
county treaiury are less than 5000 .

TO RAISE SALARIES
OF Stark Com mon Pleas Judges
Pollock Will INTRODUCES
Bill,
(From a STAFF Correspondent.)

(From a STAFF Correspondent
Columbus, Feb. 11.-Representative
Pollock will introduce a hill soon to
increase the salaries of the common
pleas judges of Stark county to $4,000.
He says they are the hardest worked
judges in the state.
The report that Pollock will intro
duce a bill putting the sheriff on a
salary is denied by him. He thinks
that the report Of the secretary Of
state showing $1,7a0 earned by the
sheriff last year was shaded slightly.

Ant Hypnotists.

That ants doctor their sick by hyp-
notism and magnetism is proved by
observation. An ardent student tells
how he witnessed what may be termed
a seance in medical science among
ants. He saw several of these little
creatures emerge from the hills and
noticed that there were some among
them which were weak and emaciQted
-invalids, in fact. They were accom-
panied by healthy members of the com
munity, and all made their way toward
q distant mound.
On following their movements through
a glass the observer saw on this mound
a big and sturdy ant which made
some motions in the direction Of the
advancing invalids The latter went
up the mound, one by one, and sub
mitted themselves to treatment. This
consisted in the physician ant passing
his feelers over the head and body
Of the patient in a manner distinctly
suggestive Of the hypnotizing OF nerves
and muscles practiced by human doc
tors. Every one went through the
treatment, then the patients went back
and the doctor marched off in the op
posite direction.

While the exigencies OF our practical
American life will still demand the
