The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1903-10-09

The fourth amendment that has
been submitted to vote OF the cleo
tors is to give to each county, without
regard to its population, one represen-
tative, and the larger counties repre-
sentatlon in accordance with their pop
ulation. Under the present system
some of the counties have to double
up to get enough population for q rep
resentative, as evidenced by the con-
dition in Harrison and Carroll coun-
ties lying just south of Stark No
change is to be made in the senatorial
ratio.
The people will be asked to vote to
so amend the constitution as to do
away with double liability of stock
holders. Under the present constitu-
ton any one having stock in a COM
pany or corporation is liable out of
his individual property for debts of the
corporation to twice the amount of his
stock. The result of this is that nearly
all the big interpretations are organized
under the laws of states which do not
impose the double liability and this
state loses largely in fees.
There has been very little discussion
of the merits and demerits of the va
rious proposed amendments, and it Is
evident that unless there is some
change in this particular not one ticket
In three that gees into the ballot box
will have mark opposite any of the
amendments.
There has been some discussion as
to whether by an endorsement a
party can have only an affirmative form
of the question placed upon the party
ticket. Even If this were done the
voter would have to place a cross
mark opposite the amendment.

EVE AMENDMENTS
TO BE VOTED UPON
a. November EIection--Governor's Veto, City
Classification, Taxation, Representation
and Double Stock Liability.

The November election will be of in
terest In Ohio this fall aside from par
tsan politics, for the reason that five
constitutional amendments are to be
voted upon. The history Of amend
ments in this state is that they arc
usually defeated through the careless
ness Of voters. without reference to
their merits or demerits. This year
the amendments are all of Republican
origin, but the greater number receiv-
ed the support of the Democratic party
In the legislature.
The first amendment relates to the
governors veto, which gives the chief
executive of the state the right to an
null any bill passed by the legislature,
and after his refusal to sign the bill,
It requires a two-thirds vote of the
legislature TO re-enact it.
AS near as can be ascertained there
is quite a wide difference of opinion in
the minds of the people as to the ad-
visibility of giving SO much power
into the hands of any one man.
The second amendment relates to
the proper classification of cities in the
states and gives the legislature greater
control SO far as regulating municipal
affairs is concerned. Especially is this
true with reference to the borrowing
of money, powers of taxation, etc.
The taxation amendment is one that
Is being looked askance at by both
parties. 1t is an endeavor to bring the
tax question little more up to date
along Tom Johnson's ideas, without
giving him any Of the credit. The
Democratic state convention endorsed
the measure unqualifiedly, but the Re-
publicans were a little weak in their
advocacy of the proposed change.

MPL|MENTS
FOR EIGHTH
Umpire Of Name uvers
Says Nice Things of
Ohio Boys.

Camp Young, Ky, Oct. THE divi-
sion review scheduled for Tuesday was
postponed on account of threatening
weather and the condition of the troops
after Mondays batter in the rain. The
postponement of tie division review
disappointed thousands of spectators
who came to West Point to witness the
spectacle and had to be content with
the brigade reviews.
AS an adued attraction, Governor
Beckham of Kentucky and his staff
will be welcomed in camp Wednesday
afternoon by brigade OF in.antry, a
cavalry escort and a salute of II guns.
The discussion of Saturdays maneu-
vers, when six National guard regi-
ments were sent out at different times
to attack an enemy somewhere in a
certain section of territory was the
feature of yesterdays program. The
guardsmen attended in force, ready for
criticism, and they got it. There was
nothing missed in their movements by
Colonel Wagner, chief of umpires, and
their mistakes were explained, like
wise their good points were shown and
except the Eigth OHIO moved too slow
ly and allowed too much struggling.
The movement of the Eighth Ohio
brought forth the criticism from Col
onel Wagner that the regiment prob
able went too fast, but that an ad
vance guard movement must not be de-
layed and sacrifices are often demand
ed of such a command as. the main
body are not called upon to make He
commended the firing, discipline and
tactical plan of attack, which, accord
ing to the reports, together with the
rapid advance of the line, resulted in
their pocketing Captain Evans troop
OF the Eighth cavalry at the Lewis
house in such a position that the UNI
pires had to order cease firing to pre-
vent a handto-hand conflict Captain
Evans himself, counted one of the best
officers in the service, reported that
he had done all he could. Taken all
in all the Ohio regiment did we'll in
the movement and it's errors were not
of a serious nature.
Following the division review will be
another battle by the entire division,
which will march out Thursday, biv-
ouac and fight it out on the following
day
State troops break camp Monday,
the regulars remaining here until time
to go to Fort Riley for the fall man
euyers there.

REAL ESTATE DEALS
City Transactions Numerous
But Farmers Do Not Care
to Sell Land,

Outside OF the transactions in the
cities of Stark county, the real estate
business is not very brisk. Farmers
are so well satisfied with the financial
returns from their farms that they do
not care to sell unless the price is
large. About the only sales of farm
land made are in the settlement of es-
tates or where some aged agriculture
list desires to move to town and rest.
There is considerable activity in lots
and other city property. The largest
single transaction in the transfer by
Daniel Holwick to the Holwick- King
Lumber company of two lots in the
Sixth ward for $17550. Carrie Hem
minger, wife Of Night Policeman
Charles Hemminger, exchanged farm
of 80 acres in Plain township for the
12-acre fruit farm of Jeanette Irwin,
located south Of the Aultman hospital,
at the end Of Maiden lane. The Irwins
pay difference Of $4,000 to Mrs. Hem
minger. The transfers, as shown by

|NF|RMARY DIRECTORS
Bic CRAFT STOPPED
Ruling of State Bureau That Meals, Etc, Canton
be Charged up Against the County.

The bureau of inspection and super
vision of public Offices has compiled a
pamphlet giving a construction and
application of the laws governing the
fees that may be charged by county
officials in the state of Ohio. A copy
of this finding has been sent TO every
county official in the state. The supply
for Stark county has been received by
Auditor M. w. Oberlin and with them
came a blank upon which the auditor
is to take the receipt of every official
. that there can be no claim made
from this on that there was ignorance
of the law.
The fees as fixed by the bureau are
wide departure in many instances
from what have generally been charged
over the state and in Stark county.
1t is thought that the average county
official will be affected to the amount
Of several hundred dollars, and in the
larger counties the loss will run up
into the thousands. County officials
have been guided by the fee bills sent
out by the Ruggles Gale Company Of
publishers, having been compiled by
Judge Gale who has for years been con-
sidered authority on fees. The differ
ence between the judge ano the bureau
is that he goes upon the presumption
that where no compensation Is men
toned that officials shall be allowed
such pay as is given in similar cases.
The bureau holds that where no amount
is fixed that the work must be done for
nothing.

LARGEST IN WORLD.
Ma m m 9th ArticuIated Co m
pound Engine Ordere d by
q. & O. Company.

An order has just been placed with
the Schenectady works of the Ameri-
can Locomotive Company, by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, for
heavy articulated compound freight
locomotive to be exhibited at the Saint
Louis Exposition and afterward used
in hauling freight trains over the AL
leghany mountains. The estim ated
weight in working order is go 900
pounds. The entire weight is carried
on the six pairs of driving wheels,
there being no trucks, so that every
pound of weight is available for adhe-
sion. The tractive power will be $4,000
pounds, or 80 per cent greater than the
present heaviest locomotive used by the
road
The three rear pairs of drivers are
operated by two high-pressure cylin-
ders and are rigid with the boiler and
frames, The three forward pairs are
operated by two low-pressure cylinders
and are articulated or jointed, to the
rear frames, arranged to move freely
transversely so as to allow freedom
in passing sharp curves This makes
very flexible construction, as the
rigid wheel base of the engine is only
10 feet, while the entire driving wheel
base is 80 feet 6 inches.
The locomotive will be operated by
one engineer 1t is estimated that two
of these engines will haul as much
freight on the heavy mountain grades
as three of the heaviest engines now in
use.

This ruling will affect the infrmary
directors of Stark county and take
from them one of thair hest sources
of graft. Heretofore they have been
boarding to a great extent at the eX-
peEse of Stark county, charging up
their meals and other expenses to the
amount of hundreds of dollars each
year. The expense accounts have been
from $25 to $50 a month in some in
stances, swelling their total receipts to
$40 or $50 month for each director.
The bureau has made the following
ruling which will be the guide from
now on unless the officials want 10 ny
in the face of the state author tiles:
For each day employed in his Of
fetal duties, an infirmary director shall
receive $3.50 and actual travelling ex-
penses.
Note: Actual travelling expenses
held to include reasonable and neces-
sary expenses actually paid for trans
portation only, and does not include
MEALS, LODGING and other personal
expenses.
'2. No charge can be made for the
use of his own horse and buggy"
There has never been any law that
authorized the payment Of bills pre-.
sented for meals, lodging, etc. These
amounts were charged up and collect
ed, it is claimed, because it had been
customary to do so. The present board
of directors has taken hundreds Of dol
lars unlawfully out of the poor fund
OF Stark county.

AT PRISON GATE
Convict PerkiSOn Arrested
by Nebraska Sheriff
WANTED ON AN OLD CHARGE
Prisoner Just Finished an 18 Months
Sentence When Eastern Officer
Pounced on Him.
WANTED ON AN OLD CHARGE

To answer for crime committed IN
far away Nebraska years ago Richard
Perkison, a convict in the state peal
Tertiary. was arrested this morning
by Sheriff j. w. Hodges Of knuckols
county. Nebraska, as he stepped from
the prison a free man. ReQulSltlOn
papers issued by the governor Of Ne
braska were honOred by Governor Nc
Bride, and Sheriff Hodges arrived in
Walla Walla last Friday to wait for
PerkisOn's time to expire. which was
today.
AS Perkison stepped from the pris-
on the sheriff read the warrant, which
charges nim with obtaining money
under false pretenses. PerkisOn was
somewhat surprised at the sudden
change of his fortunes, but aside from
asking that he be returned to his old
quarters instead of being taken, to the
county jail for safe keeping, he made
no comment Sheriff Hodges and his
prisoner left for Nebraska on this at
ternOons O. r. & n. train.
Perkison was convicted Of obtaining
money under false pretenses in Lewis
y
a nalf in the penitentiary. He has
been considered a model prisoner and
aften expressed his determination TO
lead a straight life after his time was
up A dispatch from Olympia says
that there is a pathetic incident cor
nected with PerkiSOn'S case.
Early last week Mrs. PerNsOn, who
resides at Castle Rock. arrived in
Olympia in an effort to close up sew
eral accounts outstanding against her
husband.
It is understood that in Olympia as
we'll as elsewhere he is liable to a sim
liar charge as that on which he is
wanted in the state of Nebraska. Mrs.
PerkisOn came quietly TO Olympia and
interviewed a number of state off
CialS, legal representatives and others
in an effort to secure advice and help,
and went away as quietly Wednesday
noon. She was timid, retiring wO-
man. dressed plainly and had a good
deal of force OF character written on
her plain fea UY2s She refused TO
say anything concerning her mission
further than that she hoped she had
been successful. She asked with tears
in her eyes that nothing be said Of her
visit in the papers. The news which
has just issued from the governors
office will doubtless carry surprise
and grief to her humble home at Cas-
tie Rock.
