held to his recent written opinion of
the law, to the effect that only mem-
bers of the police and fire departments
derive any real protection from the

believed that any persons outside

HARMON STANDS PAT

At Columbus the legislature is hav-
ing a desperate time trying to whip
through one of the 6. o. p. party pro-
gram" measures known as the Lang
don bill, in preference to the Alsdorf
bill to create state tax commission
as recommended by Governor Har-
mon.
Why doesn't the legislature quit
playing politics and pass the bill rec
commended by the governor?
BY trying to dodge the governors
recommendation and do something
else so that no credit will accrue to
Governor Harmon, the Legislature Is
getting deeper into the hole all the
time.
Governor Harmon stands pat on the
recommendation made in his mes
sage In a brief statement the other
day he said: "What want is state
tax commission which will take hold
of the problem and work 1t out. AS
to the details, the commission can
handle them, but do desire such leg
islation as will solve the tax prob
lem which is facing the people of the
state. want just tax law which
will treat all people alike and make all
share their equal burden"
That is exactly what the people of
Ohio want, the Republican members
of this legislature will find 1t out
next November.

nowadays. Aldrich is going to quit.
Hale of Maine is going to quit. Can
non is going to quit.
We hope this kind of elimination
goes on until all the barnacles are
scraped from the ship of state at
Washington.
But even the retirement, whether
forced or voluntary, of Aldrich, Hale,
Cannon and other barnacles will not
save Taft and the standpatters in

SAYS PEARY WASN'T AT POLLS
Knud Rasmussen Claims North Pole Is
Still Unconouered.

oull OnCOnQuSTcus
Copenhagen, Nov. 7.-According to
missionaries who have just returned
from Greenland. Knud Rasmussen, the
noted explorer, who is the Danish in
spector Of the country, asserts that
the claims of Peary and Cook to have
reached the North Pole are equally
unfounded
No living explorer or Emkimo has
been within 100 miles of the pole, Ras-
mussen asserts.
The missionaries. who are deemed
reliable, say too that they bring de-
tails of Rasmussen's cross-examination
of the two Eskimos, Ahwelah and
Eturishuk, upon whose testimony DR..
Cook relied for confederation OF his
claim that he reached the North Pole.
After closely questioning these two
and other Eskmos, Rasmussen is alb
solutely certain that the pole is still
unconquered.
Whatever Rasmussen says about
Arctic exploration Is accepted with the
greatest faith here. He was a parti-
san of DR.. Cook at one time. So. II the
missionaries quote him correctly. his
report will reopen the entire polar
controversy.

THE GREAT OYSTER INDUSTRY

A thorough inspection by officials
of Virginia's $500 square miles OF
oyster territory since the season
began in September discloses the
fact that more ordinary and patent
tongers and more dredge boats are
at work than for years. The catch
of oysters is phenomenally large
possibly the greatest in 20 years,
and in most places they are excep-
ti3nally fat. More than 1000 boats
with from to 10 men apiece are
dredging the Potomac bottoms. while
An equal number of small boats,
with from one TO four men, are
tonging on the rocks of the
lanes The supply Is greater than
the demand, and Virginia's fine bi.
valves are going at is. %. 30 and
40 cents a bushel.
