CORN CAKES AND SUGAR SYRUP
At Worlds Fair Georgia Will Exploit
 Her Food Products.


 Corn 'pone' and fluffy bot corn cakes, made by a typical southern col onial "mammy," and served with fresh country butter and pure :'sugar house" syrup, all free, will be one of the attractions that will draw visitors to the Georgia exhibit in the palace of agriculture at the worlds fair.
 Tn an. agricultural way corn and sugar cane are two of the big products of the great southern state, and the Georgia commission has determined to give practical demonstration of how delicious these foods are when served in the ideal way.
 Tn the center of her agricultural exhibit, surrounded by cotton and corn and sugar cane, an ideal plantation log cabin will be built. 1t will be presided over by an old negress who knows all about the art of producing corn pone and corn cakes, such as are made in no other part of the world, Every visitor to the Georgia section will be invited to sit down and test the proverpial southern hospitality and the cooking ability of a genuine Georgia colored ''auntie.''
 Georgias display of cotton will not appeal so strongly to the appetite, but it will be artistic, showing q neat pa yilion made of cotton and miniature cotton field, with miniature bales and the products of the fibre and seed shown in comprehensive array.
 In the mining department Georgia will make display that will portray that states greatness in the produc- ton of minerals. The central figure will be a statue of Vulcan, fifty feet high, made of iron, standing on a pedestal of coal and coke. ~Georgia marble is famed all over the world for it's beauty. Great shafts of the nat ural stone, magnificent monuments and polished columns and obelisks will be shown in stately array.
 Georgia's pineries will be drawn upon to. furnish another exhibit of pc culiar interest in the palace of forestry, fish and game. The pine wood will be shown undressed and polished. The process of extracting turpentine, pitch and posin, and all of the by-products, will be shown in detail.
 . Georgia's pavilion on the, Plateau of States will be one of the striking fea- lures in that wonderful array of archi- tectural creations. A building and maintenance fund of $5O,OOO has been created. On an advantageous site at the intersection of two main boule- wards. overlooking the mining gulch and with Maine,s log cabin on the north and Pensylvania's stately build ing on the east, Georgia will erect a replica of the old State House. This is of the pure colonial type of archi- lecture, spacious rooms and halls, and surrounded by the wide verandas char acteristic of the south. The buildinGs will be splendidly furnished and the commission will entertain in q manner beftting tLe states reputation for open handed generosity and hospitality.

Our Polygamous Ally.

great friend of ours, is so enamored
of life at Singapore, where he has
been taking q vacation, that he

This is the esteemed monarch who
is in receipt of pension from the
governor of the United States for
maintenance of his luxurious tastes
including his harem.
While we are threatening to bar

RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXATION.

Every taxpayer in the state will be
glad to know that the pending taxa
ton constitutional amendment is not
the work of politicians and, in case OF
its adoption by the people. that there
is an organization Of responsible busi-
ness men who will make it their spe-
cial duty to see that Ohio is provided
with a better system of state and local
taxation than can be found in any
other state in the Union.
The Ohio State Board Of Commerce,
representing the ablest business men
and the best business organizations in
the state, in an address to the people,
makes the following statements:
RESPONSIBLE for Taxation Amendment.
The proposed taxation constitutional
amendment is primarily the work of
this board. Its committee on legisla-
tive bills approved the wording of the
amendment in the form in which 1t Is
now submitted to the people before it
was enacted by the general assembly.
The organic purpose of this board
being to promote and safeguard the
business interests of Ohio, responsible
ity for the pending taxation amend
ment requires US to make statement,
at this time, of the principles that have
governed our efforts to secure a taxa
ton amendment to the constitution in
this form, and that will govern the
taxation legislation we will promote
when the constitution has been amend
ed as proposed.
Kind Of Tax System the State Needs.
The state needs a simple and Just
tax system that will enable the inhab-
itants in each tax district to raise suf-
ficient revenue for their local require
ments, including their just portion of
county and state expenditures, from
sources not otherwise taxed, without
Interference by any other taxing body.
and that will enable every taxpayer to
make cath as to his taxable property
without perjury. or injustice to him
self,
The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1903-08-20

thing and so-called perjury as 10
matter of opinion is another. The law
as to false oath to tax return Is
dead letter. Besides, if any proSecu-
ton of that kind were ever attempted
the defendant would have the sympa-
thy of all other taxpayers and a con-
viction could hardly be secured.
Farmer Perkins-So that if Abel
Jones had $1,000 worth of dogs and
wanted to exempt them for taxation
he could do so under the 500 exemp-
tion clause?
Lawyer Thorndike-Thati is practic-
ally the case. Abel Jones could, in his
mind, say his $1,000 in dogs were
worth 500, and thus exempt them un-
der the law as the assessor is not ad-
vised in what property he takes his
exemption.
Farmer Perkins-Who was the au-
thor of the $50 exemption from taxa
ton in the law of 1853?
Lawyer Thorndike-It Is believed
to have been the Hon. Joseph X.
Cockerill of Adams county. The fol-
lowing story is told of him: He spent
much arduous labor in the passage OF
the tax laws Of 1858. When he re-
turned to his constituents in Adams
county he told them that the law ex-
empting $50 was passed to exempt
their household and kitchen furniture.
That none of them had household or
kitchen furniture above $50 in value
and they should not return 1t. His
constituents took Mr.. Cockerills ad-
vice and from that day to 1894, 1t is
currently reported. not farmer in
Adams county, has ever had household
or kitchen furniture above $50 in
value.
Farmer Perkins, am told tax ex-
emptions were greater from 1846 to
1859. How is that?
Lawyer Thorndike In 1S46 the
Hon. Alfred Kelley secured the pas
sage through the legislature of gen.
eral property tax law, the first of the
kind in the state. In this law he
placed a wonderfully liberal list of ex-
emptions, good for several thousand
dollars, but in six years time these
exemptions were repealed, and the
state. in 1853. settled on a $50 ex-
emption, which was limited to 5000
In the constitution Of 1851, but which
the legislature held at $50 till 1894.
In Alfred Kelley's law, claims against
the state were exempt. This was wise
and Just and should have remained.
Heads of families had furniture to
500 exempt. Tavern keepers had fur
niture to 5000 exempt. Wearing ap-
parel and articles Of food were exempt.
All animals except horses, cattle,
mules, asses and hogs were exempt.
Also all farmers implements but road
wagons. Mechanics tools to the
amount of 500 were exempt. To a
head of a family one cow, eight sheep,
four hogs, were exempt, and if the tax
bearer did not have them, furniture
to the amount of 800. In Minnesota.
where $10O is exempt from taxation,
the county auditor deducts it from the
return. The taxpayer is not permit
ted to do it, as in Ohio. Kelley's law
also exempted all lands for 5years after
sold by the United States. Kelley's ex-
emptions were repealed April 8. 1852,
so o. L., 1876, and 5000 exemption given
in gross. This was reduced to $50
March IL, 1858, remained such to May
9, 1894, when it was increased to 500.
where it has since remained.
