POLAR NOTE

Captain Peary, being cross-exam-
ined by some congressman, whose
name may have been misspelled, but
which nevertheless is not recalled,
stated that he had no data by means
Of which any other man could go to
the North Pole.
That Is, the pole is Just as unhandy
today as 1t was when it was found.
And 1t wasn't found, either, because
1t never was lost. The pole has been
right there attending to busines at the
old stand for thousands of years and
helping on the lecture business In It's
humble way.
However, here Captain Peary tells
us that he neglected to blaze the trail,
and now the next man who wants to
go to the pole will have to discover
1t all over again.
Boiling 1t down to a calm simmer,
we deduce:
Peary went to the pole, but doesn't
know the path.
Cook knows the path. but didn't CO.

EFFORT
To ReSlOCk The State Of
Ohio With Quail
Birds Being Trapped In
Southern Counties

Quail trapping is going on in south
ern Ohio counties with impunty. No
use telling the state game warden
about It. He Is on 1t. In fact it is
being done on his orders.
Here is the explanation. In many
Of the northern counties of the state
where the land is level and capable
Of being closely farmed mo waste land
and worm fences have long since dis
appeared, there are very few quail.
The farmers there have appeald to
the state game warden to know the
cause and the remedy. "It is easy to
diagnose the cause" says Genera!
Speaks. "The quail find no cover and
they leave. 1t is as easy to produce
quails as 1t Is to produce chickens"
the warden says, but you have got to
have the conditions.
There was nothing like the old
worm fence with It's ample brush and
dead weeds in the fence corners, for
shelter for quail. But the scarcity of
rail timber has made the rail fence
go. The wire fence Is now taking ev.
erything. Close farming goes with II
and the fence rows are cleaned out by
the thrifty farmer each year.
1t makes the farm look nice and in
creases its production of crops but not
of quail and game generally.
This has been explained to the an.
xious inquirers and they have promis-
ed the state warden that if he will help
them stock their counties with quail
again Iney will take pains to sec that
home and shelter is provided for
them.
With this assurance the warden is
doing what he can to re-stock the
northern counties. He must first get
the consent of the farmer on whose
lands the quail are-to trap them.
Then the work is given into the
hands Of deputy warden who sets
the traps and take the birds, send.
ng them in boxes to the counties in
which they are to be turned loose
Quite lot of this kind of work is
| now going on under the direction oi

tOunty Tax Commissioner
Bill Also To Be Passed
Uniformity Of Taxation And
Square Deal For All

Columbus, O., March, 2-The tax
levies for 1912 in every Ohio taxing
district will not exceed 10 mills unless
the people authorize higher levies.
The Smith l per cent tax rate bill
will be reported back to the house by
the taxation committee with favorable
recommendation and II will be passed
next week, according to present indi-
cation. At the same time another
bill by Rep. Edwards Of Cleveland
creating a county tax commissioner
to be appointed by the state tax com
mission, will he passed. The Edwards
bill was introduced in the house last
Monday. The county tax commission
er will be entrusted with the assess
ment and appralsment of all property,
real and personal, tangible and intan-
gible. This appointee will serve no
stated term, but Will remain in office
at the pleasure of the state tax com
mission, which may discharge him at
any time he fails in his difficult task
of listing all property in the county at
It's true value in money. The county
tax commissioner who will supercede
city boards of review and all elected
county and city assessors will de-
vote all his time, IL months In the
year 10 assessing property. On the
ability OF assessors to get personal
property on the duplicate largely de-
pends the future of the l per cent tax
rate bill. To facilitate the work and
to prevent tax-dodging the Edwards
bill provides new methods for get
ting at personal property, such as hold

ed for taxation. With supreme power
vested in this one man-the county
tax commlssioner-and him respon-
sible to the state tax commission, vex-
ing delays in the settlements of dis.
agreements should cease there will be
a uniformity of taxation throughout
the state, and a square deal for all
| Appointees OF state board would be
more apt to be proof against local
pressure to wink at failure to list pro
perty. Heretofore some candidates
for assessors have been popular with
certain voters because 1t was known
that they would be lax in assessing
| property.
