FaIsifying Is not CritiCizing.

Columbus, o., Sept. 2S-Since
some of his unfair critics have
falsely accused Governor Harmon
of favoring increased taxes on real
estate and personal property it is
in order at this time to lay before
the people of Ohio few facts
worthy of remembrance.
1t is pretty generally understood
that next year real estate would
have been reappeared under the
old law requiring such appraise-
ment every ten years. The last
decenial appraisement was in
1900. The act passed at the
special session for quadrennial
appraisement simply provides that
after the land eppraisement next
year such appraisements shall be
made every four years instead of
every ten years.
The values to be fixed next year
depend on exactly the same con-
ditiOns that would have existed
had there been no change in the
law, such as land assessors have
had to take into consideration
a every such appraisement in the
past. These naturally have to do
with differences In the judgement
Of assessors, and changes in the
physical condition of real estate
since the last appraisement, wheth-
er enhanced or deprecated.
Speaking at farmers picnic at
Ottawa, Putnam county, Aug. 20
on "Taxation Work for the Gener-
al Ass embly." Allen Ripley Foote,
the we'll known authority on tax
alton, made this specific state
ment: off there has been no in.
crease in the selling value of real
estate property of the state with
in this ten years, the appraise,
ment OF 1910 should show an in
crease over the appraisement Of
1900 by at least the full amount
OF the total undervaluation allow
ed in 1900. If the methods of ap-
praisal and the enforcement of the
constitutional rule IS more efficient
In 1910 then in 1900 the appraise-
ment for 1910 should exceed that
for 1900 by the total amount of
the increase in selling price, plus
the increase due to efficiency in adj
ministering the appraisement laws.
/ have estimated the possible in
crease in the appraisement for
1910 over the appraisement of
1900 at 10 per cent"
Tuck this away in your memory
ana do not forget it next year
when the false cry that Governor
Harmon wants to increase or cause
an increase ia taxes on real estate
and personal property is revived
for campaign purposes.
Mr.. Foote is president Of the
international Tax Congress which
first met in Columbus two years
ago and had its session this year
In Louisville, Ky. He is the real
author of the bill for quadfennial
appraisements introduced for him
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1909-10-07

by Senator Rathburn and passed
a the special session last winter.
Mr.. Foote is also commissioner of
the Ohio state board Of commerce,
an organization that had lecturer
ers in the field all summer explain
ing the quadrennial appraisement
act and organizing local tax
leagues; these lecturers, acting
under Mr.. Foote'S direction, had
a great deal to say about under
valuation of lands fer taxation,
and they aleo argued that real es-
tate should be placed on the tax
duplicate at it's par value.
1t is not the purpose of this
article to discuss or to discredit
either the cause to which Mr..
Foote is devoted or the arguments
and theories advanced by him and
his associates relating to tax
questions. He is doing com
mendable work in all his efforts to
arouse public interest in the etern
al subject of taxation.
The purpose of this article ls to
show that the strongest COM
mercial body in the state and it's
experts on taxation, having no
connection whatever with Cover
nor Harmon's administration, are
endeavoring 30 stimulate senti-
ment in favor of increased tax
values on real estate, even to the
full extent of its par value, with
fixed limit to expenditures that
would bring about correspond
ing reduction in tax rates.
Therefore it is manifestly un-
fair for unscrupulous critics to
charge that "it Is the policy of
the present administration not
only to increase expenses but to
demand for increased taxes" or
favors an increase of taxes on real
estate and personal property, when
there is not word in any of Gov
ernor Harmon's official documents,
or in any of his utterances prior
to or since his election on which to
found such a malicious and ridicu-
lous assertion.

In his strained and inconclusive
apology for the Aldrich tariff,
President Taft openly avowcd that
the rates under the wooden schedule
were much too high. lie declar.
ed that this specific failure to
meet the glowing downward re-
vision promises he made year
ago, was chargeable to the ma
chinations of the rapacious, self
centered, insatiable wool trust and
wooden manufacturers. The whole
bill would haye failed, he insisted,
it this powerful lobby had not
been granted all it asked. To put
it in another way, the Republican
majority In Congress and the in
huence of the administration was
futile to protect 1000, 900 people
against one greedy monopoly.
We might be constrained to let
it 60 at that were it not for the
Presidents additional assertion
that he doubted whether the 1e.
tention of the Dingley wool and
woolen schedules would operate to
increase the price to the consumer
of woolen cloths and clothing.
Doubt on that score is largely set
at rest by the announcement now
at hand that the New England
Fibre Blanket Company, of Wor-
cester, Mass, is forced to raise
the price of Its products by reason
of the duty on raw materials.
Monopoly of wool and conse-
quentiy increased price are direct
ly traceable to the prohibitive
tariff rate. Had it been reduced,
importations would have been in
vited and trusts would have been
smashed.
In natural sequence it follows
that the poorer classes will suffer.
The price of wooden blankets al
ready is exorbitant because of the
excessive tariff rates, and Ameri-
can consumers, who have had the
utmost difficulty in making both
ends meet, will be denied the
warmth and comfort of wooden
blankets this winter. They may
be able to purchase those in which
there is liberal mixture of cotton
and which provide small pro-
lection against the chill of winter;
but this infamous tariff imposition
deprives them Of q vital necessity.
Also any person who will predict
that similar effects will not be met
in the matter of clothing would be
rash, indeed. The poor mans
clothing bill for himself and his
family has been one of the thorns
with which his path has been be.
set. The cost of living has been
inordinately raised by reason of
advances in the price of even the
commonest necessities to cover his
back.
And yet the President has the
temerity to stand up and plead
the powerlessness of himself and
his Republican confreres to miti-
gate the suffering entailed by the
selfshness of monopolistic group.
Rank cowardice, it might be
termed, and truly SO.

Electrical Inertia.

A curious experiment with an cleo
trio discharge conducted round right.
angled corner is described by Prof
Francis E. Nipher. The corner was
formed by bending sharply the con-
Quoting wire. A Photographic plate,
inclosed in harl-rubber holder, was
placed under the wire in such a way
that the discharge would descend
toward it, then turn at right angle
and pass horizontally above it. 1t was
found that when a negative discharge
passed down the wire to the angle the
electrical particles kept straight on
their way instead of turning, pene-
trated the rubber cover and affected
the inclosed plate. But when the dis
charge was positive no such effect was
produced. The current apparently
turned the right-angled corner without,
so to speak, shooting off at the bend.

THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes it hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen-
tine or too much drier.
But, nine times out of ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble, every
houseowner should know in general
way, when a surface is in proper con.
dition to receive paint, what kind of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.
A complete painting guide, includ.
ing a book of color schemes, specifi.
cations for all kinds of painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul-
terations in painting materials, with
directions for using 1t, can be had

How sister played trick that
brought rosy health to coffee fiend Is
an interesting tale:
Il was coffee fiend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. l mocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what it was. l noticed the richness of
It and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
l was drinking Postum for fear might
not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept Civ
ing me Postum instead Of coffee until
l grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes, then she told
me of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place Of my morning coffee.
From that time l became a disciple of
Postum and no words can do justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. / will not try to tell it, for
only after having used it can one be
convinced of its merits"

SENDING WIRELESS MESSAGES.
Atmospheric Condition Has Much tc
Do with Distance They Can Be Sent.

The effect of atmospheric changes
on transmission in wireless telegraphy
is a subject still unsettled and being
studied. Mr.. Marconi found that dur
ing the day on water, roo miles equaled
1900 miles at night. He believed that
daylight weakened the medium of
transmission. Aside from this we know
that with good insulation electric trans
mission is at its best Reason thus,
when air becomes poor conductor,
energy is dissipated. At IS pounds
pressure air is almost perfect dielec-
tric. At 95 miles above the earth it
becomes as good a conductor as mix
ture of three parts of sulphuric acid
and one part water Indirectly air
movements or wind may assist in max
ing these conditions.
Capt. Jackson of the United States
army studied the effect of atmospheric
conditions on wireless and found that
in fine weather, when the barometer
showed a lessening air pressure and a
storm coming, the signaling distance
was reduced TO one-third that of nor
