SHAKE HANDS
AND WIPE AWAY
THE TEARS. .

Columbus, o , Sept. 6,-For the
first time in the history of the
Ohio organization, the Mexican
war veterans, once as strong as
the G.. A, r., failed to get enough
members together to hold re-
union. The call was sent out for
the annual meeting to be held at
the Neil house Thursday, but
only five veterans responded. 1t
is possible that enough will get
together Friday to elect officers
another year.
When it is remembered that
survivors Of the Mexican war
must necessarily be so past, it is
hardly to be wondered that they
experience trouble in holding re-
unions. The youngest of the five
who answered the Columbus call
is 80 and the oldest, Captain F.
A. Hardy of Piqua, will soon be
90 John Hanover of Delaware,
one Of those in tendance, at
tracted considerable notice by his
long hair which hangs over his
shoulders in braids. Twenty five
years ago Hanover made a VOW
that he would never have his
locks shorn until Prohibition
candidate lands In the presidential
chair. He is still fighting shy of
the tonsorial artists.
A bit of sentiment attended the
presence of John A. Fisher of
Roxabelle, Who has reacked the
age SO. At a meeting held in
Chillicothe Is years ago, when "a
were present, he took the pledge
to attend every reunion, eyep if
there were only two present.
"When it SINNERS down. to two,
We'll meet anyhow, shake hands
and wipe the tears away"

Seven Acre Farms.

Advocates of small farms in
this county Will find encourage.
ment for their faith in a recent re.
port of Council Dunlap, who
writes of the agricultural district
along the Rhine. The farmers
there depend upon local market
cremated by numerous manu-
factories. The holdings average
about seven and half acres each,
and the cultivation is thorough.
Nothing goes to waste that will
supply nutriment for the soul,
and there are no spots abandoned
TO weeds. A small farm will grow
IN the same season two crops of
several kinds of grain, grasses and
vegetables. Soil that will not
grow is planted with forest trees.
But land is high in Germany and
the cultivation is mainly by hand.
The small farm is a development
from the social stage where
peasants worked on large estates
for lordly proprietors. There
are small farms in America and
also many small areas of large
holdings all under good cultiva.
tlun. The system has developed
here, too, and the large farms is
not always the result of greed or
oversight. The settler who
cleared timber land for crops sole
ly found it profitable to be
thorough IN his cultivation.
Clearing is hard work. If tn g
timber in log had value he cut it
rapidly and lightly on the clear
ings. Settlers on the prairies
wanted at least d quarter secuion,
or 100 acres, per family, and the
sooner it was all broken up the
better for the future. On cleared |
land and prairie land superficial
farming dept down weeds and
scrub growth. 1t is natural for
man to wish to be monarch of all
he surveys, and the large farm
once paid for it is a hardship to
come down TO a mere dooryard
and garden. Besides, the Ameri-
can farmer wants pastnrage and
meadow as we'll as grain and
vegetable fields. He uses ma
chinery, and it takes large acreage

TAXATION BASED ON ECONOMIC
PRINCIPLES.

At the last hearing before the Ohio
Tax Commission, Mrs. Mary E. Lee,
Grange Editor Farm and Fireside and
American Agriculturist, Westerville,
stated the case as follows: The intol-
cradle burdens resulting from taxation
do not arise from the power to tax, but
the methods employed. Wars have been
fought, systems of government over
turned to escape taxation without
representation" This has come
through faulty and imperfect ideas re-
specting economic questions Taxa
| ton as an art and science has not
been considered save by few thought
ful students and they have not been
able to test the value of their ideas.
The entire effort has been, on the
part OF taxpayers to get lower valua-
tlons and lind means of lodging. Is it
not time that sound economic prin-
ciples be applied to the matter of
taxation?
Each industry complains of the in
justices of the present laws on that
business, and all are agreed that gross
inequalities and injustices exist. Can
system that has bred such condi-
tions be just? And is there Justice
In taxing at the same rate that prop.
erty which has a fixed value, with
that property whose value is determin-
ed by different men, at different times.
One Is the result OF fixed economic
laws, world wide in application; the
other simply the opinion of a man
elected to place as low a valuation
as possible on property. The badness
of this principle should have been
scented without leaving experience to
demonstrate it. Let us amend the
Constitution, rid ourselves of the uni
form rate which experience and
reason alike condemn, and seek a sys-
tenn in accord with correct economic
principles. 1t seems unwise to legis-
late into the Constitution.
We are no more able to leglslate
into that instrument wisely for the
people 20 or so years hence than were
our ancestors to legislate for us The
power OF the people is steadily grow.
ing through the primaries, conven-
tions, initiative and referendum. The
universal diffusion of education is en-
abling the people to judge more wisely
each year. Leave them free from con-
stitutional restrictions to work out
their own destiny. Perfect laws do not
spring full-fedged, Minerya-like, but
are creatures of growth. | would rec
ommend the creation OF tax commits
sion In which each industry is repre-
sented, and a political economist of
wide experience who could take a sur
yey OF the entire state, its sources of
revenue and its needs, and could devise
laws that would secure just and
equitable distribution OF the burdens
OF taxation. 1t also seems imperative
that tho constitution be amended SO
that that property whose value is fixed
shall not bear the same rate of tax as
that property Shose value is deter
mined ~ the judgment OF men.

Urged az One Remedy For Acknowl-
edged Tax Evils Of This State.
The discussions of the representa-.

ideas on the big subject of taxation.
Publicity was urged as one remedy.
Hon. T. X. Spith, Hon. b. F. Swim.
gle and Mr.. d. h. Dunham all favored
publicity as solution of the vexing
problems without amending the con-
stitution. How many look into the
assessors returns to see how his
neighbor has listed property" said
Mr.. Smith. "Once | sent the assessor
to neighbor to look up some notes
he had not returned. BY this means
$4,000 were added to the duplicate.

cate by this means. Some years ago

erty paying an annual rent higher

Il believe most of the inequalities
erty returned for taxation by EACH"
said Mr.. Swingle. Mortgage indebt-
edness is very great In some sections
of the state, and, though many legis-
latures have tried to correct this evil
none have so far been successful. The
personal property of the farmer gets
on the duplicate at very near its true
value, while the stock of railways, tel
ephone and telegraph companies, gas
and oil companies and other corpor-
ate interests are placed on the dupli-
cate at very low per cent of their
value"
Il am one Of the men who looks
into his neighbor's returns" said Mr..
Dunham of the executive committee,
State Grange. 1--WE try to be fair
with each other in my section of the
state, and l don't believe you could
find ten men who believe our govern
ment to be failure. Most talking
here today think people dishonest and
ready to evade taxes. They say you
can't get the property on the dupli-
cate. don't believe It, The only
trouble Is the unequal valuation. |
