NEW THROUGH TRAIN
Daylight Service Between Valley Points and Los Angeles to Start
 in May.

A new daylight through train ser vice between Los Angeles and Calexlco will be inaugurated within the next few days by the Southern Pacific. The trains will be numbered 15 and 16 and will leave the terminal points in the morning and run through with out change. The present night ser vice will be maintained, possibly with some slight change of time schedule. Eventually the new day train will run to Yuma, but for the present Calexico probably will be the south ern terminus.

 Mark these lines upon a map and it will be seen that no farm in the valley is more than four miles from railroad and that very few are even so far away as four miles. Each of the five towns is connected with all the others, and the territory natural ly tributary to each town is con nected with that town. The lines are so planned as to constitute a con- plete system in connection with ex- isting roads that can be operated ad- vantageously for the development of every district and the benefit of the settlers. All the lines connect with the Southern Pacific and will be feed CTS to the present valley branch and to the San Diego & Arizona road, giv- ing outlets for valley products to Los Angeles, San Diego and the East. I'm perial gets close connection with Mes quite Lake and all the northeastern part of No. and direct connection south with the new road to San Die go.

RAIL LAYING SOON FINISHED

The entire valley line of the South ern Pacific, with the exception of five miles from Imperial Junction south ward, has been relaid with heavy steel rails, and this last five-mile section will soon be completed. It is ex- pected that soon after 1t Is finished the workmen will be transferred to the new road graded from El Centro westerly. and that track will be laid on this as far as New River this spring.

AT MUNICIPAL WELL

The casing in the municipal we'll was punctured at the 415-foot level on Wednesday, and pumping with compressed air to test the stratum between the 415 and 501-foot levels was started Thursday Both lower strata produced salt water of high temperature, but better water is found at the 415 foot level, and when the sand is pumped out it may prove to be good enough for domestic use and sufficient in flow to justify further de- velopment.

Imperial City Trustees are planning for the construction of a pipe line from the Brawley main canal to that city, as supply for the municipal water system.

The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1910-09-27

Two years ago Democracy, under
the leadership of Judson Harmon,
charged the Republicans with extrav-
agance and mal-administration, and
promised the people reform. They
believed him. He was elected gov
ernor and ID. s. Creamer was elected
state treasurer. They have given the
best administration of their respec-
tive Offices the state of Ohio mas
known in 20 years. They have stood
for business methods. They have In
troduced economy in the public SER
vice. They have kept the faith. They
have not been found wanting.
The Democracy of Ohio again
comes before the people, under their
leadership, and asks for an indorse-
ment of their work and a vote of con-
hdence. We balance their perform
ances against Mr.. Harding's prom
ises.
Record Of ohio Republicanisn.
Our eloquent friend from Marion
boasts: "Our party has written every
chapter of Ohio and national prog
ress for so triumphant years."
We concede that during the last 80
years they have been almost con-
stantly in power. During all Of this
time evils have been growing up in
the various departments until some OF
them have become fostering sores.

billion dollars at each session, every
cent of which is levied on the people
of the country by taxation In some
FORM And 1t is confessed that ex-
travagance and mismanagement
cause waste Of no less than three
hundred million dollars each year, in
the ordinary conduct of the govern
ment; which is more than the COM
bined expenditures of all the States
in the Union. 1t is surely time the
people should bestir themselves in
this matter, for every one of them
is compelled to pay Federal taxes on
almost every thing he buys for con-
sumption or other use, whether he
owns property subject to State and
local taxation or not.
And every one is not only COM
PEELED to contribute to this enorm-
Gus outlay Of the Federal government,
but is also made to pay much
greater amount in the shape of in
creased prices on goods made in this
country, because of tariff law
framed for the express purpose of
ihdhlnE Hllu uO Iulo W bMCil bhC
profits Of manufacturers.
The people we're long deceived
about this, but they were so aroused
by the awakening, which came at
last. that the Republican leaders
were forced to promise prompt relief
by reducing the tariff taxes. A spe-
cial session of congress was called
to make the promise good. How they
did 1t has been told by many Repub.
| lican members of high standing and
| authority.
These men have shown how slight
reductions were made where they
would give the people no relief but
| furnish a basis for the misleading
use of figures; how by artful phrases,
whose meaning and effect were not
generally understood, pretended re-
ductions became really increases, es-
pecially on the cheaper qualities of
| goods used by citizens of small
means; how the whole performance
was evasion and deceit dictated by
the very interests from whose OPP
preston the people of the country
were led to expect release.
After vain attempts to pass off the
new tariff bill as the keeping Of faith,
ton, it is virtually confessed that 1t
was not. And the promise to reduce
the tariff taxes so as to give relief
has now been referred TO commits
sion to decide, at some future time,
whether it shall be kept or not.
There is plainly but one way open
to the voters either to administer a
rebuke or to secure redress, and that
is by electing Democrats to repre-
sent them in the making of National
laws.
The Test of Experience.
AS to myself, should be glad to
go on with the work in hand, be-
cause of my deep interest in it and
the hope that with the knowledge
and experience ! have gained | could
do it better in the future. This work
relates to state affairs only and
welcome assistance from all who
agree with me on that subject, as
suring them that their present sup
port will involve and be treated as
involving no obligation on their part
in any other connection.
If the people believe my opponent
can and will accomplish more fol
them, none will be better pleased thar
to have them realize their expecta
tions. For there is no personal wish
which would be willing to crafty
by having Ohio make the slightest
halt in her upward course.
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1910-09-27

II the Republicans claim for them
selves all the credit for Ohio's prog
ress, they must likewise bear the re.
sponsibility for the evils which have
become and are part of our gov
ernment, unless they can be traced
to some otter source. How can they
claim the one and escape the otherG
For almost 20 years the Republi-
cans have had control of the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial branches
Of our state government except fer
The few months that Governor Patti
ron served and the present admins
tration of Governor Harmon, and for
so years have had control of the ex-
ecutive and legislative offices since
the war, except for a period of about
10 years.
Taxation.
During all this time the constitu-
tion and laws have required return
OF all property at it's true value. The
state officials, particularly the state
auditors, have encouraged Irregular.
ties by lax administration until very
little property, unless by accident.
has been returned at its true value.
The burdens have been unequal.
They have weighed most heavily
upon the farmers and the small
home-owners.
At the second session Of the legis-
lature in 1910, under the force of
| public opinion, some relief was grant
ed. Tax bills were introduced by a
Democratic member, as well as by a
Republican member. The law pro-
viding for tax commission was
passed May 10, 1910. 1t embodied
some of the suggestions of Governor
Harmon, but not all of them. A tax
commission was appointed under this
law, and though 1t has only been In
existence for a comparatively few
weeks, it has already added 10 the
tax valuation of some of the public
service corporations millions of dol
lars, and they will now be compelled
to pay some of the taxes which they
have heretofore escaped by reason Of
the laxness of Republican state Of.
ficials.
The tax rate throughout the state
has varied in the several localities
from l per cent to per cent. Gov
ernor Harmon demanded that a max
imum rate of 10 mills should be pro-
vided for. A law has been passed
limiting the rate to Is mills unless in
creased by special vote of the peo-
pie, and both parties have pledged
themselves to limit this rate by fu-
ture legislation to 10 mills.
Funds Of the State.
Under Republican administrations
state treasurers, without any author
ity of law placed the public funds
in private banks when they should
have been in the state treasury. Az
ter the depository law was enacted.
the state treasurer continued to give
out his money to favored banks at
less rates of interest than they were
paying to private depositors. In 1908
this money was distributed among
f4S banks. No books of account
were kept in the treasury showing
where this money was deposited, or
in what amounts, and the treasurer
depended wholly upon the certificates
of deposit, letters and loose written
memoranda for his records. They
refused even to let this money out at
competitive bidding until Demo

during the year 1905, while Mr.. Har-
ding was lieutenant governor and In
good health In January, 1906, John
Pattison feebly climbed the steps of
the capitol and this money was trans
ferred to a state account.
All these reforms have been insti-
tuted by the present treasurer of his
own free will. A bill was drawn and
recommended at each session to re-
quire a like course by all treasurers.
In spite of frequent urging this bill
was twice rejected by the majority
in control OF the General Assembly.
The taxpayers can draw their own
conclusions.
At Kenton last week Mr.. Harding,
speaking OF all this, far from denying
the facts, said Everybody knew" the
funds were not kept in the treasury,
