HORSE KILLED IN FIRE
Blaze in George Street Stable Does
 Little Damage.

During a fire in the stable of Will liam Birmingham. an congressman, at 27-29 George street, last night, about 5 o'clock, MT. Birmingham's horse was suffocated by smoke and damage of several hundred dollars done to the stable and its contents.
 The stable is located away to the rear of the buildings at State and George streets and to reach it the firemen had to poke their way through two alleyways. When they got in they found blaze that took two streams of water several minutes to subdue. After the fire was out the horse was found outside it's stall where it had fallen in an effort to get out when overcome by the smoke. How the fire started is unknown. The build ing is owned by Jacob Strauss and is but little damaged, the blaze being all on the inside.

This rate, he said, would be cut in two later. He said that there would be no formal demonstration to celebrate the opening of the new ser vice.

TAXING CREDITS.

In his remarks at the state tax COM
mission meeting, Mr.. Derthick, MAS
ter of the Ohio State Grange,) alluded
to the fact, that at Mt. Vernon and
Bellefontaine the savings bank de-
posits earned per cent and the tax
rate was 4. A tax system that re-
quires such payment is grievously
unjust. A great deal of this business
is not so bad, but it is bad enough to
turn the state into a community of
law yiolators and false swearers.
1t is calamity that this abuse
should remain another year, The harm
done in one year will outweigh all the
benefit of the taxation for a century.
Laws that do not conduce to honor
and justice are uncivilized and un-
christian.
Mr. Chamberlain, of The Ohio Far
mer, spoke to some effect on the tax
proposition He made a number of
excellent suggestions, and upon the
matter now referred to, he said:
amend the constitution to permit
levying tax of one-quarter or one
half of l per cent on the value of all
evidences of Indebtedness and re-
quire all such evidences to be listed
to be legal" There is sensible sug-
gestion, and it has been tried in 9TH
er states with success
One thing is sure, it will collect
more money than the present system
does, and it will save the state from
disgracing itself. The people are not
aware of the enormity of the offense
against the true principles of taxation
and legislation now being perpetrated
under the present system. OF all de-
vices planned against the prosperity
of people, that which aims at. their
integrity is the most fatal.-Ohio State

after them. Feeding is an art
that must he learned by practice !:
it may be studied very profitably
by reading tie experience of
others, and go one will know what
to do and what to avoid in his
practice. 1t is great mistake to
think of reading of this sort of
experience is not worth the time
spent. Quite otherwise it is of
the greatest valeu, because one
learns what to avoid and what to
follow. And in all our experience
we find at the end that our great
est successes have been due to the
avoiding of mistakes by the care
ful study of the experience of
others, who honestly tell us of
these things. What we learn
through our own mistakes 8 very
cost y wisdom, but we learn from
others costs us nothing.

RIGHTS OF TAXPAYERS


In all the various suggestions of the
referendum In relation to schemes OF
government involving large expendi-
lures of public money, nothing Is said
as to the rights of the taxpayers in
passing judgment upon the projects.
In business affairs, such matters are
referred to the stockholders OF the cor.
porations interested, and only stock.
holders may pass upon them In a
municipal community, the stock.
holders are the taxpayers. And in all
matters involving the expenditure of
their money which 1t may be consider
ed advisable to submit to the test of a
public ballot their interests should be
considered In the voting. To permit
great army of non-taxpayers to par
ticipate in this expression of opinion,
and possibly to outweigh, by their
votes, the deliberate judgment of those
who have the greatest interest at
stake-the taxpayers-cannot be look
ed upon as an act of Justice.
In a community where suffrage Is
so cheap, where the irresponsible, un-
interested vote is large, referendum
system which exposes the interests of
the taxpayers to the votes of those
who have absolutely no financial in
terest in government is absolutely in
defensible. And yet, when these
matters are under consideration, there
are few to raise their voices in favor
of those who make government pos
sible by providing the money for its
maintenance.
Taxation without representation"
was one Of the evils and expressions
that led to the American revolution
and the freedom of the American
colonies from the rule of the mother
country. Taxation imposed by the
overwhelming vote Of the untaxed
would be an evil Just as great-Wil-

INTANGIBLE PROPERTY.
E.ks.4.hA.si.a..s..s.l.g l.g..s.i..g..s.s.g..a.A.sa.

First, consider the intangible value
which inheres in an industrious car
pentcr's outfit of tools. Would anyone
say that the Woodworking carpenters
tools should be taxed according to
their value for the uses to which they
are being put"-because the indus
trious carpenter uses them to better
advantage than exactly similar tools
are used By an indolent carpenter?
The answer to this question is obvious
Again, would anyone say that mer-
chant or manufacturer, or farmer,
who, by earnest endeayor, makes his
tangible property yield more in re-
~tulns than similar property in the
hands of the idle and unthrifty, should
be made to pay excessive taxes? 1t is
plausible, on the ground of humani-
tarianism, to defend the proposition to
tax success rather than unsuccess." ="
But that the state may, and should.
confscate the profits of honest sue
cess, amounts TO placing a penalty
upon proper ambition and endeavor.
for success is merely the result OF ef
fort. There seems to me to be but
little difference between an individual
or firm and corporation, as far
as intangible value Is concerned. But
by the construction of elastic portions
of the constitution it has came to be
law to tax the intangible value OF cor
porations and allow the intangible
value of firm to be untaxed. II 1t
appear that a railroad is earning dlvi-
dends which are so great that they
give to its stock a value in excess OF
the true necessary investment In
plant then the fault is with the state
authorities, which have undertaken to
regulate railroad charges and make
them reasonable. The state of Mlchi.
gan, for example, is in the position of
regulating railroad rates for the pur.
pose OF making them reasonable; but
at the same TING, it proceeds upon a
theory OF taxation predicted upon the
idea that the railroad rates are gross.
ly unreasonable. And, worse yet ii
proposes TO continue along this line,
actually allowing the railroads of the
state TO extort money from shippers
and passengers, SO that the state can
tax II away from the railroads. using
II for revenues, thereby relieving tag
