BIG BOATS TO STAY
London Dispatch Regarding War
ships Is Not Believed.
United States Naval officers Doubt
Report From England That Dread
noushts viii Be Supplanted
by Smaller Vessels.

New York.-Naval officers stationed
at the Brooklyn navy yard are in
clined to doubt the London dispatch,
in which was predicted the passing of
the dreadnought type of battleship in
favor of smaller vessels of equally
heavy armament.
In their opinion Great Britain and
the other nations of the world will
even enlarge the size of the present
day battleships.
Rear Admiral e. N c. Leutze, U. S.
N, retired, commandant of the Brook
lyn navy yard, said:
ut is hard to believe England's fu-
ture navy policy is to be toward the
reduction in the size of it's war ves-
sci. We have found the dreadnoughts
the most effective fighting machines
yet produced and consequently we will
continue to make our vessels In
greater size.
Il can see no object unless 1t is for
the purpose of economy in the report
that England is to build vessels of
smaller size. England may be listen
who object to naval expenditures. OF
course l can make no prediction of
what our own future program will be,
but from my personal viewpoint we
will add to our fleet of dreadnoughts."
The man who has been sent to the
Brooklyn navy yard to lay the hull
of the battleship New York, Naval
Constructor Robert e. Stocker, U. S.
N, could not reconcile his experience
in shipbuilding with the report from
London.
I'VE need all the dreadnoughts we
can get" he asserted. in the dread
nought has been found type which
is an improvement over everything
built before.
"The qualities of speed, gun strength
and endurance cannot be contained in
a bulk smaller than at present in
closes them. Our engines give max
imum of power with a minimum of
space; our guns are included in the
narrowest expanse with possible
safety.
IF we want greater speed and Sc
cure 1t in the size of the vessel, the
armament must be sacrificed to a
corresponding extent. Inversely, If we
are to increase the armament of our
dreadnoughts on smaller vessel we
would have to dispense with some of
our speed"
Capt G. E. Burd, U. S. N, in
charge of the machinery department
of the navy yard, said 1t is not pos
sible with the present engines to
economize space without losing else
where.
THE one thing that would help us
spare some of the space now occupied
by the boilers and engines of our bat
tleships." he said, would be new
engine that would improve on the tur-
bine and the reciprocating engine we
now CARY"

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1911.

If there was no more interest TAX
en- in the primary nominations in
other localities than was shown IN
Perrysburg, the real benefits OF such
method of making nominations is
very hard to discover-unless it is in
tended merely for the purpose OF Civ
ing out few jobs to judges and
clerks OF election. Thus far in Per
rysburg and Wood county generally
have proven no real benefit in any
way but have cost the people thous-
ands of dollars, and given nothing in
return. Here's hoping that some
day Ohio may have sensible legis-
lature with enough brains to pass a
very few sensible laws and repeal a
large per cent of the Jackass statutes
that now disgrace the State.

when they put in a new time table

The sad accident by which seven
Toledo citizens lost their lives on Sat
urday morning by being drowned in
Maumee bay is another evidence of
the careless manner in which pleas
ure boats are being run in the river

about the river cannot keep out of the
way of the small craft which scurry
over the water, and the recklessness
with which many pilots of small craft
run their boats is largely the cause
of the danger and loss of life that has
been recorded.

Rust's House Is a
Standing Example

An argument for the single tax
was presented to the board of
equalization yesterday when
George Milton Savage and his at
torfey, A. r. TftIow, asked for a
reduction in the tax valuation
placed on the big white Rust
palace on North I street. The
board took the matter. under ad-
visement.
The home is assessed at $780,
1870, of which $5S,800 is for the
building and 1880 for the eight
lots.
The taxes last year amounted
to over $2,100.
Even Millionaire w. r. Rust
found the white palace more than
he bargained for and he sold 1t
to Savage for about $4,000, al
though 1t cost 100000 to build.
Now that Savage has it he does
not know what to do with 1t.
Several opportunities have been
up to sell but every time the
prospective purchasers discovered
the taxes were $4,000 year that
killed the deal.
Killed Club House Deal.
The most promising proposition
was one opening the way for a
magnificent clubhouse there. But
when the men back of the plan
discovered the tax bill that knock
ed the deal out-for the time at
least.
The fact that s1,827 of the tax
on this place is for the building
alone and only about $500 for the
real estate presented an impress
sive object lesson to the board Of
equalization.
Meath For Single Tax.
"I was opposed to single tax
when / first heard of 1t but have
been studying the tax question for
years now and these object les
sons that are constantly before us
here and the knowledge of the in
justice of the present system has
converted me. I'm for the sim
gle tax," said Treasurer Edward
Meath today.
Mr.. Meath Is one of the best
posted men in the Northwest on
taxation. He has been working
on 1t for years in the court house
as assessor and then tneasurer.
1.-THE argument for single tax is
unanswerable," says Meath. Here
are two vacant lots side by side.
