BALANCE
In Treasury AT End Of
harmOn'S Term
viii Show A Very Comfortable
Sum
Despite Action Of Republican
General Assemblies
Some Insight Into The One
Per Cent Tax
And The Efforts Made To
DiSCfedit The Law

Columbus, o., July 19.-There will
be a handsome balance in the state
treasury at the close of the Harmon
administration, Notwithstanding Re.
publican general assemblies looted it
and then attempted to saddle the
Democratic state administration with
the responsibility for the financial
shortage. Underlying public service
first time, pay into the state treasury
100000, under the Willis tax. This
with other increases in receipts will
leave big treasury balance at the
end of the Harmon administration,
will take the states finances off the
rocks where Republican general as
in healthy condition for future ad.
ministrations.
For many years the Willis law,
levying a tax on the capital stock of
domestic corporations, has been on
the statute books, but no Republican
state officer, charged with the collec-
the levy from underlying public serv-
ice corporations-t,on that have
the legal title to properties but have
leased them to companies which oper
ate them. This was the rankest kind
of favoritism. Farmers and owners
of small homes-the people who could
least afford it--were compelled to pay
high rates and these wealthy concerns
escaped without paying single dol
lar of taxes. But the state admins
tration has ended that The only pur-
pose in view is to operate on a basis
of no fayoritism with everybody pay
ing a just portion of the taxes
On account of the neglect of For
mer State Treasurer Green to file u
proof of loss with the Massachusetts
Bonding Company, the commonwealth
will lose $4,000 interest on a claim
for $3.50 which it had against this
concern. 1t was small matter to
prepare and file a proof of loss but
Treasurer Green was too busy oiling
the cogs in the Republican state po-
litical machine to take care of the
states business. That was a chronic
ailment with all former Republican
state officers.
Republicans have been opposed to
the low rate ever since it was first
advocated by Governor Harmon.
The Ohio executive was both rid
iculed and criticised by Republican
speakers during the 1910 cam
paign for advocating it. Republican
general assemblymen, with few excep-
tions, voted against it. The only
speeches made in the legislative halls
against the low tax, rate were by Re-
publicans. In the Senate others re-
fused to vote. Republican Senators
Bader, Deaton of Champaign, Deaton
of Lucas, Holdren, Johnson, Keller,
Kuhl, Macdonald, Purinton, Tod of
Mahoning, Todd of Franklin, cast neg
ative votes when the roll was called
for the Smith tax rate bill. Not a

LITER
ln Siberian Prison To Be
Rich Man

New York, July 19.-The Russian
secret police are securing America in
search of the Countess O'Brien De
Lacy, wife of the Russian nobleman
who was sentenced to a Siberian pris-
on for life at the conclusion Of re-
markable trial.
The wife of the convicted prisoner
has fallen heir to S10,0O0,000, left by
her aunt, Nine, De Lazari, who died
recently in Paris, and who, for some
unaccountable reason, failed to change
her will subsequent to the horrifying
revelations of the De Lacy trial.
The count, who planned wholesale
murder for a fortune paltry by COM
parison of the great wealth OF Nine.
De Lazari is the sole heir of his wife
under the Russian law and in case of
her death will have the distinction of
being the richest life prisoner in the
world.
Search for the countess in Europe
has been fruitless. After the count
was sentenced his wife lost her rea-
son. She was forbidden to return to
the home of her father, General Bo-
turin. whose death her husband
sought so that she could inherit the
generals millions. De Lacy's fellow
conspirator, DR.. Pantchenko, confess,
ed that he had brought about the
death of the countess brother, Count
Vassill Boturlin, by inoculating him
with cholera bacteria. The old gen
eral persisted in the belief that his
daughter had assisted in the plot,
though she was not directly accused
at the trial.
Practically penniless, disowned by
her relatives, denied by her former in
innate friends, the beautiful and tai
ented young woman went mad and
one day suddenly disappeared.

EVENING
Star Soon To Disappear In
The West

The evening star, Venus, that has
been shining so lustrous in the west
the past few months, has reached
its greatest elongation, which is 4549
degrees up in the sky, and is now
gradually receding, though it will be
a month before it will reach it's great
est brilliancy. After September Is,
it will appear as morning star,
There has been no more beautiful
object than Venus during the sum
mer. Venus is the nearest celestial
neighbor, except the moon and it is
just the size of the earth. The rea.
son Venus does not get higher in the
sky is because it is between us and
the sun.

OF Sanford TubbS In This
City On Tuesday
Wanted In COShOCtOn On
Serious Charge

Sanford TubDs was arrested in Mt
Vernon Tuesday by the police and
locked up in the county Jail for the
Coshocton county authorities. Tubbs
is wanted in Coshocton for cutting
with intent to wound, having recent.
ly been indicted by the grand jury OF
that county.
Late Tuesday afternoon Sheriff Nc.
Donald and Deputy Sheriff George
Senft of Coshocton arrived in the city
in an automobile and took Tubbs back
to that city where he must answer to
the charge.
Tubbs was formerly a resident in
Mt. Vernon, but recently had been liv.
ing in COshocton. The man is wanted
for making an attack upon one Jack
Miller about two and one half years
ago. Tubbs attacked Miller with a
knife. Later he was arrested and
locked up in the city prison at Co
shocton, but was released as Miller
declined to file an affidavit against
him. Tubbs disappeared after that,
but in the meantime the grand jury
returned an indictment against him
for cutting with intent to wound. Sher-
iff Mcdonald has made attempts to 10.
cate Tubbs and this week learned that
he was living in Mt. Vernon. The To-
cal authorities were notified to arrest
the man and this Chief Clements did
