business OF the state shall be conducted
on modern business methods; that the
public affairs shall be economically ad

Of the state amounted to 13,4Sl, ,sO6 In

POmHTGnH Outlines Campaign
Issues at Opening Of
the Convention.

Dayton, o., June %. Hon. Atlee
Pomerene Of Canton, temporary
chairman OF the Democratic state
convention, at the opening session in
Memorial hall, outlined his party's
attitude toward the political issues
of the day. The address, which was
one of some length, was well receiv-
ed by the multitude of people who
heard it. Mr.. Pomerene discussed
she alleged delinquencies of recent
Republican state administrations and
referred with pride to the record
made by Governor Harmon.
The hall was packed to the doors
when e. w. Hanley. chairman of the
state central committee, raped the
convention to order. Rev. John A.
Winkler invoked the divine blessing.
Chairman Hanley then introduced At
lee Pomerene, the Canton statesman
as temporary chairman of the con
vention, who at once proceeded to de-
liver the keynote Mr.. Pomerene
said
Ohio Democracy under the leadership
OF Governor Harmon has been fighting
especially for three supremely impor-
tant principles:
l. The elimination OF graft.
q Business methods and economy In
public expenditures
3. Reduction and reform in our tax
system.
Graft In statehouse.
That the stntehouse under tho domi-
nance of n Republican machine has been
honeycombed by graft Is clearly proven
by the committee headed by Senator
Beatty: that portion of II was the re-
suit Of ignorance due to precedent and
nl-consdered legal advice, / do not
doubt; that some OF It was due to n
selfish desire to proflt at the expense Of
the state Is evident from the manner In
which the public funds have been used
by public officials and placed in favored
banks; that much OF IL is attributable
to criminal disposition to rob the pub
Tic has been clearly proven. Before tho
state depository law was enacted much
of the public funds was put In favored
nountsd for. After it's enactment the
money was placed on deposit in banks,
in some OF which officials themselves
were stockholders. at ~ per cent in
terest on active accounts and 2h per
cent on inactive accounts while the
same banks were advertising for money

o1s and economy shall be introduced IN
every portion of the public service? And
yet when our governor asks that the af-
fairs of our public institutions shall he
placed In charge Of central board OF
trustees who shall give their undivided
time aud attention to the affairs Of thosl
institutions, his request Is ignored for
the simple reason that it would enable
him to reorganize them, and perhaps by
that means displace some Republican
onicehoders, | have no objection to
partisanship, but / protest against the
sacrifice of the state to party advantage.
Reforms In Tax System.
Since the adoption OF the constitution
OF 1861 Ohio has had the so-caleA uni
form rule OF taxation. 1t requires "all
moneys Joint stock companies or other
wise, and also all real and personal prop
erty," to be taxed according to a uni
form rule and at its true value in money.
At first blush it may seem right in the
ory In practice II Is anything but just
or uniform. 1t is bad In its conception;
It has been worse in its administration.
Under II we have had high taxation and
low taxation, double taxation and no
taxation. Real estate is open to public
view and none Of 1t escapes. Much OF
the tangible personal property is con.
cealed In factores and stores, and most
OF It escapes. For years the state au-
ditor, in violation OF the constitution and
laws of Ohio, instructed county au-
dltors, and they in turn instructed tho
assessors and decennial appraisers, 10
make their returns at not exceeding 60
per cent OF the true value thereof. The
result is an utter disregard Of all law, Ct
all uniformity, and has led to the gross
est inequalities.
In 1870 the entire return OF the state
for taxation of moneys, credits and In
vestments I'm bonds amounted to $780,
2T3,S6O; I'm 1908 they amounted to $l40.-

The Tariff lss'e'
But we need not be surprised at the
PRESIDENTS failure to redeem his tariff
pledges made before election and his
giving ear to the cry of party expedi-
ency. We all remember how he rose to
the true plane of stal@smansnip In his
famous Akron speech In 1915, when he
condemned in scathing terms the Cox
machine in Cincinnati, and declared he
would vote ageinst 1t at tho approach

also remember that when ne was can

tions and defeat the purpose of the pa
per trust. For years the Democrats had
said that the high protective tariff had
fnstered the trusts, This was denied,
but when the newspaper found them
selves throttled by the very trust which
they had fostered and defended through
their very columns they came and plead
ed that the tariff might be repealed
Republicans defend the tariff schedules
on tile plea that they are for the benefit
OF the producer Upon what ethical
principal can they eselect a producer as
an object of government bounty rather
than the consumer? Why should the
consumer pay tribute to the producer?
Why should American goods made by
American labor out of American ma
toria be 80 d to the foreign consumer at
a less rate than they are sold to the
American 'usumer?

servAtves / the senate and In the house

In the chapel of st. Ulrich lies
buried the heart of Henry III. 1t lay
formerly in the famous cathedral
which Henry built near his palace,
and which was torn down In 1919.
This piece of vanished glory pos
sessed an extraordinary collection OF
treasures and relics. It made moth
ing of the bones of such saints as
Nicholas, Lawrence, Cyril and Diony-
sius, for there were also important
remains Of the apostles themselves.
There was half of the Apostle Phil
ip. an arm of Bartholomew, and one
of James; a hand, arm and the head
of Matthew, and great part of the
bodies of Peter and Paul. There
were also many other wonders.
Many of these valuables were stol-
en- in the sack of Goslar in 1906, and
more during the Swedish occupation
in the Thirty Years. war. Others
were sold to keep up the cathedral
during the hard times brought on by
the reformation, so that the only
remnant of the building and its
treasures to-day Is part of one tran.
sept near the Kaiserhaus, with some
interesting statues, some of the old
est stained glass In existence, and
an early Romanesque rehquarium
borne by still earlier brazen figures
of the four rivers of paradise, as old
as the city itself. From this one
fragment, with it's splendid, sculp.
tured portal, one can reconstruct the
whole-ex pede Herculem-and re-
alize the effect of religious page
ant on one of Goslar's chief holy
days. such as the Feast Of st. Mat
thew, when the bells In the twin
towers went mad when Henry III,
in his imperial robes, swept down
the broad steps Of the Kaiserhaus,
heading brilliant train of prelates,
princes, knights and many a band OF
pilgrims, who had come from every
part of the empire to bow al this
famous shrine. And after the last
amen had died away amid the
groined vaulting of the cathedral, st.
Matthew in his silver sarcophagus
was carried with due rites about the
city walls.

cARNEGIE'S JOKE ON KAISER

"As an American democrat" said
the emperor to ME. Cargenie, you
can't have specially good opinion Of
emperors and kings"
"That depends altogether on the per-
sonality of the particular crowned
head" responded Carnegie, who adj
ded: "Your majesty ought to come to
America some time. You would get
remarkable reception"
William II. replied that such a trip
