STATE RENTED
TAX PENALTIES
Oelinquencies Under the Willis
Law are Not Obliged to Pay
More Than the Origi-
nal Sum.

Columbus, Aug. 10.-Among the cor
porations exempted from the payment
of fines and penalties for delinquency
under the Willis law are a number of
Stark county concerns. There were
539 delinquents and to have enforced
the fines and penalties would have
ruined most of them. The law re-
quires corporations to file reports and
pay an annaul tax of one tenth of one
per cent of the paid up capital stock
by May 81 of each year to the secretary
of state and provides fine of $1O0 for
failure to comply on the date mention
ed and an accumulative penalty of $500
per day for each day of delinquency.
There are still about 300 concerns
which have not complied. The follow
ing Canton corporations, together with
the fee paid by each, are among those
tardy in complying with the law and
in whose cases the penalties have been
remitted by a commission, consisting
of Governor Nash, Attorney General
Sheets and Secretary of State Laylin:
Elbel company, $113; Canton Stand
ard Brick company, $50; Canton Press
ed Brick company, $500; Canton
Pump company, $50; Electric Cleanser
company, $40; Carnahan Land"& I'm
provement company, $40; Canton Coal
Mining company, $40; Sanitary Milk
company, $21.60. Other Stark county
concerns exempted are: Massillon Brick
company, Massillon, S32 Massillon
Milk company, Massillon, $40; Massil-
Ion Bowling alley. Massillon $40; Sni-
der Street Manufacturing company,
Massillon, $40; Massillon Iron and Steel
company, Massillon, $3.50; Minerva
Creamery company, Minerva, $3.50.

]. B. KACEY, OF LOUISVILLE,
TO OPPOSE AUDITOR OBER[|N
He Has Already Announced His Candidacy inOp.
position to Present lncumbent's Second
Term-SequeI to the Carnival. @

A little sensation has been sprung
in Republican political circles by the
announcement that John B. Kagey,
postmaster at Louisville would run
against Auditor M. w. Oberlin for HIS
second term. He has announced
through the Louisville Herald that
he will rum for the nomination in spite
Of the fact that party custom usually
gives an official his second term with
out opposition.
The announcement was a great sur
prise to the Republican politicians and
there has been a good deal of inquiry
as to what has led Kagey to the unus-
tai step. The story is that certain
Influences from Canton had much to
do with his decision. The action of
Auditor Oberlin in assessing the car
nival shows a tax of $50 and his fore
ing the payment in the justice courts
seems to have offended certain parties
who were directly interested. They
made threats that they would get even
with the auditor. The state law re-
quires that all shows which exhibit for
money shall pay tax of $50 day for
every day they show in the county.
Because it is claimed that there was
local interest in the carnival, Auditor
Oberlin allowed the shows to exhibit
all week for an amount equal to what
should have been paid for one day.
This concession did not meet with
favor, the promoters demanding that
nothing should be charged. Oberlin
could not see it that way and insisted
upon the law being lived up to in some
degree at least.
Those who deemed themselves ag-
grieved began looking about for some
method Of revenge and it is claimed
that they have been trying to get some
one to run against Oberlin. II not to
beat him, then to make trouble at the
| nomination.
1t is claimed that Kagey was not sc
ambitious to be auditor himself as he
was to get some one else to run
against me present incumbent. He
made trip to Alliance, it is said, and
tried to persuade Joe Mcconnell to
run. Mcconnell was defeated by
Oberlin at the last nomination. Nc
Connell declared that he would not
run against any Republican for sec.
ond term, as the unwritten law and
precedent entitled him to a renomina-

CUBA FROM THE VIEWPOINT
Of AN AMERICAN TOURIST

inactive. The women live a secluded
life, remaining in the house through
out the day, and only venturing ont
in the evenings for a walk in the parks
and always accompanied by a chaper-
on. Dancing is their principal diver
sion, their dances being mixture be-
tween the ordinary dance of civiliza-
tion and the rather barbarous hoe
down of the negro. 1t is very queer
and difficult to learn. They are fond
of theatres, but the only places they
have organized companies are in the
large cities. In the smaller towns
home talent supply their demands.
These little amateur theatricals occur
very often, in some places being held
every week.
Their tropical plants are beautiful
and a Cuban garden Is a thing OF
beauty and joy forever Their most
useful tree, however, is the yuca. The
FIBRE of the bark contains a great
amount of starch and this is mashed
to a pulp and made into bread. This
bread is hard and gummy and very
unpalatable, and resembles somewhat
the hard tack of the American SOL
der. 1t is so hard that it cannot be
eaten without being saturated in some
kind Of liquid and yet it forms the
principal article of diet for the lower
classes. OF course, a visit would not
be complete without seeing the places
of historical interest connected with
our late war. We visited Moro Castle
and found 1t a dreary, uncanny old
pile fronting on the harbor. 1t Is
very ancient and is rapidly showing
signs of decay. We also saw the place
where Hobson's heroism was shown
and climbed the San Juan hill. The
hill is very ordinary elevation and
bronze memorial tablet has beer
erected in honor Of the brave boys
who fell during the charge. / also
visited Havana, and found 1t the mos
up-to-date city In the island. 1t has q
large population of Americans and or
account of its equable climate foul
new hotels are being built to accom-
modate winter guests"

vacation here, expects to return u

Joseph kaudIu, Of Canton, Tells Of
The Country and It's
Customs.
EXPECTS TO RETURN TO The island

Mr.. Joseph Maudru, 401 Newton
street, has just returned from COM
bined business and pleasure trip to
Cuba. He left the city April 1st. and
returned brt a few days ago, spending
all the intervening time on the island.
His first stop was in Santiago, where
he spent a large part of his time. In
speaking of that city and the island
in general he said:
Santiago Is one of the most Ameri-
can cities in Cuba, almost half the
population being from the United
States. These people are rapidly
making up the business element Of the
city, for their hustling, progressive
spirit quickly downs that of the rather
sluggish Cuban merchants. 1t will be
but very short time until the entire
control of the commercial traffic will
be in the hands of Americans. The
Cubans are generally divided into two
classes, much the same as the Indian
caste, although the lines are not SC
severely drawn. The lower class, and
they are almost without exception ag-
riculturalists, are very ignorant and
lazy. Very few Of them own the small
farms on which they live, merely rails
ing small crops, bananas being the
principal product, and earning enough
to eke out an existence. They live In
little palm hurts, the entire rent for
land and dwelling, being from $40 to
SIS per month.
"The facililies for education In these
country districts are very poor, very
few of the children receiving any ed
ucation. When we think OF our pros
porous, intelligent farmers with theil
comfortable homes and systematic
methods of agriculture and these pooi
wrethches scarcely earning enough
to sustain life, there can be no com.
parison. One probable reason for this
condition of affairs is that all the large
by capital. The Cubans are not very
appreciative Of the benefits the United
States has conferred upon them, ant
strange to say, we were treated muci
better by the Spaniards in the islant
than we were by the natives. Th'
Spaniards do not seem to be antagon
istic toward the Americans but muci
bitter feeling exists between them ant
the Cubans.
"The middle class laborer y NO

so to 80 cents pei day in American
money. BY the way American mone'

ton. He not only would not run
against him, but he would do all he
could to help him secure second
term.
Mcconnell and Kagey had been
warm friends in the last contest
Kagey working for the Alliance man
at the nomination. When he heard
what Mcconnell had to say, he then
said he would run against Oberlin
himself A day or two later the an
nouncement was made through the
local paper in Kagey's town. Copies
of the paper have been sent to nearly
every Republican committeeman in
the county.
The Canton parties, who have been
looking for some one to run against
Auditor Oberlin are all Democrats and
some surprise is expressed that they
should interest themselves in the pre-
liminary- contest of the opposition
party.
Republicans, who we're seen in gen.
eral, think that an effort to secure a
nomination against Oberlin is foolish
ness. IF man must be defeated
just because he does his duty" said
one Republican, "it has come to pref
ty pass in this county. l understand
that Kagey boasted when in Canton q
few days ago that the business men
were down on the auditor for assess
ing the tax on the carnival shows
That indicates that he has been stuffed
from certain quarters, and not by Re-
publicans. The fact of the matter is
that the business men of Canton
would like to see tax SO big that II
would keep all carnivals out of the
city hereafter. They did not think
so at the start, but they did at the
close of the fiasco that was called 9
carnival in this city"
Auditor Oberlin was seen by a News
Democrat reporter and asked as tC
his opinion of the candidacy o
Kagey. II do not care to discuss the
matter" said he. II had conversa
ton with the gentleman the other day
and told him what l thought. Wha
influences are back of him l do no
know. Al know that have offended
some by complying with the law. bu
l cannot help that. l shall beat Kage!
at the nomination and do it easily, bu
1t will compel me to go out and max,
fight for my second term, something
! that l would rather not do"
