The Ohio property tax is paid in
two installments each year-Tune and
December-and figures obtained from
taxing districts show that many
property owners, chiefly farmers and
home owners, will pay but half, IS
much taxes as they did in 1910. Aus
ditor Alexander of Ross county, de-
scribed the condition when he said:
"In a number of taxing districts of
our county the people can pay their
whole years taxes at the December
collection and still pay out less
money than they paid before for the
half the year Ninety per cent of our
people will pay less taxes than they
paid last year. The other 10 per cent
will pay more, because they have
been escaping. taxation in the past.
Las year in our county we had rates
as high as $3.50 per 500. This year
the highest rate will be $1.40 and the
lowest 40 cents"
The people realized that the failure
of corporations to pay their just
share of taxes was the cause for the
extra burden borne by the man of
moderate means, but, before the Har-
mon administration, no executive of
the state ever undertook to equaliZe
the taxes. To do this it was neces-
sary to increase the property yalua-
ton of the corporations. Figures an
nounced ty the State Tax Commits
Sion a body created to assist in
equalizing taxes upon the recOmmen
dation of Governor Harmon, show
that in 1911, the appraisement of Ohio
railroads for taxation had been in
creased from $166, 469 ,599 in 1910, be-
fore the Harmon tax reforms, to
$3.50, 100000. The additions to public
utilities aggregate $1,000 10000
while an additional $1,000, 900, 600 has
been added to private corporation
property. In 1911 the railroads alone
will pay 1888, 200 more taxes than
they did in 1910. The Pennsylvania
lines will pay into the state treasury
$506,540 more the New York Cen
trail $147.715 more, and the B. & O..
$4U9,54S more. Inc lJll valuation or
the Pennsylvania system alone is
$1S,469,4 AL in excess of. the total ap-
praisement for taxation of all Ohio
railroads in 1910, and the State Tax
Commission points to this to show
how inadequate was the value here
tofore placed upon railroad property
in Ohio And there has been no liti-
CATION, the corporations being salts
fitd they have been justly dealt with.

by Ohio friends of Governor Harmon
to answer the charge, frequently
made, that he is a representative Of

The result of appraising all prop
erty at its true value is that corpo
rations that did not pay their share
are now assuming their part of the
tax burden and those that paid the
highest before now pay less, the diff
ference being made up by the corpo-
rations.
Records of the State Tax Commits
sion show that farmers and home
owners had been paying on a higher
basis than holders of corporate prop
erty and they are now paying $780,
S13 less each a year.

sor watched street fakir doing feats

easily he could twist and bend nails.
Then he tried the largest steel spikes
and these he was able to bend and
twist with apparent ease. Manson
made a chain of the spikes to show
what he could do with his hands. A
strange part of Mansor's discovery is
that although he has seen tricks of
the sort performed he never before
thought of trying to initiate any of the
performances.
