him in North Carolina and the ce-
menting Of highest fellowship be-
tween his state and the Old North

tion the historic fact in this state

and dwelt especially on ohio's tax
system reform through tax commits
sion and assessment of property as
money value and the state system
adopted for road improvement
pledging North Carolina his conYic-
ton that the same systems would
work out well here.
Great enthusiasm was stirred BY
his reference TO Cincinnati's manifes-
tation way back in reconstruction

his retention by President Roosevelt
as leading counsel to prosecute the
famous railroad rebate case against

tance that individuals responsible
for the gross misdeeds OF the great
arrigant corporation should be prose-
cuted as criminals. This, he said.
brought the suggestion from Roose-
welt that Harmon was out OF har-
money with the national government
