who know what the law of taxa
ton in this state is, but it may
prejudice some voters who have
not the opportunity to learn the
truth. The lie. in effect, is that
Governor Hadley wants all the
farm lands in the state assessed
at their full value, and taxed at
Is cents on the hundred dollars
valuation, while he proposes no
system for valuing and assessing
other taxable property. A lie that
contains a half truth is the worst
kind of falsehood. because its as
ISOLATION with truth makes its
hideous nature less ~discernible.
The truth 10 that Governor
Hadley wants all taxable prop
erty assessed at its money value
at the time Of assessment-farm
lands, town lots, merchandise,
jewelry, animals, personal prop
erty, money, and all other taxable
property, and then taxed at a rate
sufficient TO provide enough rev.
enue to conduct the state govern
ment economically and properly.
He simply wants enforcement OF
a law that has been on the statute
books for more than half a cen
tury, and which has never been
changed in its requirements BY
the Democrats who have held the
state in their grasp and been priv
ileged 10 legislate as they desired
for more than forty years.

indianapolis, May 30.-In slashing
races at the Indianapolis speedway
today, new records were set for the
\ national championships in stock car
!. classes, which will be contested an
] nually. Barney Oldfield with his big
Benz broke the American speedway
record for the mile and the kilometer,
and Ray Harroun, driving a Marmon,
topped the time for fifty miles tor
cars of 231 to 800 cubic. inches dis
placement.
A crowd of fifty-five thousand peo-
ple cheered the drivers on to desper'
ate feats of speed, and the companies
of militia we're pressed hard in con-
trolling tn eager spectators, VINO over
flowed the grand stands.
Oldfield cut the mile speed record
down from Sc fiat to S5.6 and the koll'
meter record from 23.7 to 21.45. He
made the former records on the Los
Angeles track.
In a wonderfully sustained dasn
throughout the fifty mile race, Har'
roun easily led his rivals and was
ahead of the record at 30 and ~
miles to the finish. His time was
42.41. The former record, which was
44.4S, Harroun himself had set at At
lanta. j.
For the national championships
the drivers battled with all. their
skill, forcing their engines to the linn
it of their power. The leaders were
always punched in the home stretch
and the contests we're not decided
until the front wheels OF the victors
actually had crossed the wire OF the
timing machine.
Chevrolet in a Buick, winning 161

from HaHrroun the victory In the 2Sl

,five miles from 4:O3 to 4:01.
' Only two accidents marred the

was anyone injured, though Harroun
had the narrowest escape from death
that he had experienced in all his
days of racing. His Marmo1 wasp
burst a tire and hurled itself in the
cement wall that guards the upper
margin of the track. The car tore
furrow in the cement for fifty feet
and then toppled over, f1inging Har

New York, May 3o.-Before the
president of the United States there
passed in review today what remain
ed of New Yor's contribution to the
war of the north and south.
President Taft had come from
Washington especially to see the old
soldiers pass the reviewing stand at
the Soldiers and Sailors monument
on Riverside Drive, and as they trudg-
ed by they tautened the stiffenlng
muscles of age, raised their gray
heads higher and sought to show that
they were still fit and active. But
the blue lines wavered, old feet shut
fled over the roadway and some OF
the men who marched behind the
ragged flags, hiddled with shot, spent
quickly what strength they had and
kept their places only with the help
of more stalwart comrades.
The parade was nearly three hours
in passing, but the president all the
while stood bare headed in the stand
bowing as the veterans trooped by.
