SOON OFF ON
ANNUAL RAID.
Assessors VIII Don Their War
Paint Monday Chief Nor
row Calls Council War.

Tho assessors of Mercer county will
start on their annual appraisements OF
personal property next Monday, the
10th, for the first time under the new
l5-mill tax limit law which was passed
last year.
Auditor Morrow will call the asses
sors together for his instructions Mon
day. They will be instructed TO find
all tho hidden wealth they can and put
all chattel property on the duplicate
for its full value In money, just as the
real estate was supposed to be ap-
praised.
Tho personal duplicate will have TO
bb largely increased or tho l5-mill lin
Il TO the levy will not raise enough
funds with which TO run the various
townships and municipalities within
the county.
In no case can the property be so as
sessed that the total taxes of the coun-
ty will be more than per cent higher
than they were in 1909, and the officials
contend that unless the personal duplI-
cate is greatly increased a deficit is
probable.
Auditor Morrow says the chattel as
SCISSORS last year increased the dupli-
cate more than S366,S70 in Mercer coun-
ty. A gain even larger than this will
have 70 be made this spring.
While the assessors are not empoW-
cred to ferret out the hidden wealth
any more than in the past, they will be
admonished by the auditor to find as
much as possible.

trophy were made on general points of
superiority.
The ear of corn grown by Mr.. James
is of Reid's Yellow Dent variety. 1t is
10 inches long, l-2 inches in circum-
ference, and has 20 rows of kernels,
to the inch in the row, average 5-8 of an

width. 1t is indeed a very correct type
of yellow dent corn.
Mr.. James, the winner, is vigorous
farmer about 40 years of age and of
pleasing personality, a man who has
given careful study to corn culture, and
who has achieved his success as grand
champion winner only by years of hard
work and paintaklng seed selection and

--LATEST TYPE Of
PASSENGER CAR
And One That Would Solve the
Traffic Situation on This
Division c. H. & ID.

The following is taken from advance
sheet of the April Electric News ,Schen.
ectady, n. Y, and suggests a remedy
for the abominable passenger service
on this branch of the c. II. & d. and
deserves more than passing considera-
tion:
The latest type of passenger car needs
no locomotive to haul it over the rails.
Swiftly, silently it rushes from station
to station, discharging passengers and
express, loading and unloading, with
never hint of the mysterious power
which propels it from place to place.
To use big powerful steam locomo-
tive, capable of hauling string of
freight cars half a mile long, to rush
two small passenger cars from station
to station, on small branch line, is
the height of extravaganza. 1t is like
hitching big Percheron to a goat cart.
The big engine eats up all the eprofits of
the undertaking. 1t would also cost a
fortune to completely electrify all the
small branch lines of the steam rail-
roads in this country, installing power
plants, distributing stations, overhead
wires or third rails.
The new gas-electric passenger cars
are the very latest step in solving the
question of greater economy in railroad
transportation. They do away with
the costly locomotive, with an average
life of but five years, and at the same
time, give all the benefits of electric
cars. They operate by electric power
but the electric energy used is gener-
ated right on the car and not taken
from third rail or an overhead trolley
wire.
Orders for self-propelling cars of this
type have just been filled by the GEN
eral Electric company for the following
companies; Two cars for the Minneap-
oils, st, Paul and Dubuque railroad;
one for the Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburgh one for the Rapid City,
Black Hill and Western; six for the
st. Louis and San Francisco lines and
two for the Southern railway.
The cars are So to 20 feet in length,
and 10 feet in width, with an outside
shell of pressed steel. They are prac-
tically fireproof, and even the leather
upholstery in the smoking compart-
ment and the plush used to upholster
the seats in the general passenger sec
ton is treated chemically to be made
non-inflammable.
The engineers cab is located at the
extreme forward end, containing the
machinery in space slightly under II
feet in length. Toward the rear, and
Immediately adjoining the cab is the
baggage section and next to this is the
smoking compartment The rear of
the car is given over to the general
passenger compartment, and is built
for observation purposes. There are
seats for 80 to 80 passengers
Sides of the car are finished in ma
hogany and the bUlkhead paneling is
also mahogany. These are fitted with
beveled plate glass mirrors, Electric
lights are placed between every two
seats and the windows are operated
automatically by releasing catch.
The cars are operated by electricity
generated in a small compartment in
the forward end. A powerful gasoline
engine is directly connected to light

SUNDAYS WORK

A Lima special of Monday says: ST.
lence reigned supreme in the big pine
auditorium where, for the past six
weeks Evangelist w. A. Sunday has
fought the forces of iniquity. The soft,
fleeey snow which was falling at the
close of the final services last night
seems only to intensity it.
Rev. Sundays six weeks labor in
Lima netted 5,657, so the count of the
secretaries showed last night. Five
hundred and sixty-One responded on
the final day, exceeding the Portsmouth
record by total of 435.
Appreciation of the evangelists toll
was also shown in a financial way.

vicinity voluntarily contributing Sll,-

STRIPESF FOR BOSS
AND THEN WHAT?
[Extract of an address delivered April 2,
by Herbert S. Blgelow, at the Peoples
Church, Cincinnati.l

EXTRACT of an address delivered April Q,
by Herbert S. BlRelow, at the Peoples
Church, Cincinnati.l
Cincinnati's turn has come. The
people are on the man-hunt. Their
boss is at bay.
The conventional American boss
starts in dive, becomes banker, and
then goes to the penitentiary. grand
jury has suggested that the Cincinnati
boss, having begun in a George street
dive and attained to Fourth street
bank, should now round out his career
in the usual way.
But whether or not the boss "who
never broke his word" shall be sent to
the penitentiary for perjury, important
consequences are likely to follow his
indictment. His political power is al
ready thing of the past.
But after routing the organization of
the boss, and perhaps putting him in
stripes, what then? Prevention, after
all, is more important than prosecu-
tion.
A POLITICAL TOTEM POLE.
Ono thing needed is a, non-partisan
ballot for the election of city fficials.
When a member of the legislature, the
man who is now prosecuting the Gin
cinnati boss introduced bill providing
for this reform, they laughed him to
scorn. A ballot of roosters and eagles
is political totem pole.
LET THE PEoPLE RULE.
The Crosser bill. now pending in the
Legislature, provides for the initiative
and referendum in cities. This too
10 A.,, &
a cleaner political life. This bill gives
the people the power to enact or reject
ordinances by direct vote at the polls.
1t enables the people to exercise their
acknowledged sovereignty. This prin-
ciple of direct legislation promotes the
education of the people and checks po-
litical corruption.
THE REAL CRIME OF cox.
How will the so-called Cox senators
vote on this bill? There are three of
them. Their vote may not be without
its significance at this time. For what
is the charge against the Cincinnati
boss? The real charge is that this man
makes business ofselling government
favors to Misunderstanding cofpor-
ations.
This Ohio legislature can grant no
greater favor to these public-service
corporations than to defeat the initia-
tive and referendum bill. Those who
believe in the guilt of the boss do not
expect men whom he has nominated
to vote otherwise than as the corpora
tion lobby directs.
But the people turn in hope to Gov
ernor Harmon and to the legislative
4, mn
ernor and his legislature are pledged
by platform to the support of this great
progressive measure. Its enactment
into law will be q more effective blow
to political scoundrelism than the con-
victiOn Of a penitentiary full of political
bosses.

FOOL LEGAL
CONTEST
ENDS

Atty John w. Loree, representing
the L. e. & w. Railroad company, on
Friday accepted the confessed judg-
ment offered by the Village of Celina
for the putting in of water mains across
East Market and East Warren streets,
and for the right of way across Warren
and Buckeye streets.
This action puts an end to the contro-
versy of the village extending their
water mains across the l.. Il. q w. and
for the right of way across their tracks.
The case grew out of the refusal OF
the Lake Erie to permit Contractor
Heffner laying the city water mains
across the company's right of way on
East Warren street. The work will be
done under the supervision of the su-
perintendent of the Lake Erie.
