Christmas recess shall be able TO make
a further communication TO Congress on
this subject"
The President gives the first official
explanation of the hurried movement of
10000 troops to the Mexican border last
spring. His explanation agrees with the
unofficial reasons .or that movement
given at the time, but he showed in
confidential letter TO General Leonard
Wood, Chief Of Staff Of the Army that
there was no doubt in his mind as to
American lives and property in danger.

Work for lax Boards.

The Cuyahoga county board OF
equalization has been reconvened by
the state tax commission under au-
thority of the Dore law, just signed
by Governor Harmon. 1t is given un-
til April 1 to complete the work Of
revising the tax duplicates in the
county. Other boards ordered back to
duty by the state commissioner must
finish work March %, the Cuyahoga
board being given extra time because
of the complicated condition in vii.
lagos around Cleveland. Equalization
boards also have been summoned in
Gallia, Geauga, Ashtabula and Adams
counties. In some of the counties,
valuations have been fixed too low,
but in Cuyahoga the complaint is only
against inequalities in some instances.
Boards of review, sitting as boards of
equalization, also have been ordered
to reconVene in Niles, Warren, Paines'
vile, KentOn, Marion, Salem, East
Liverpool and Ashtabula. They have
been directed to complete work left
undone when compelled to cease work
under the old statute. They are al.
lowed until April 1. Other city and
county boards also will be ordered to
reconvene. Members of the boards
and their employees will receive the
same compensation as during their for.
mer service. Employees also will be
paid the old rates, but all will be linn
tied to the time fixed by the tax com.
mission. The last batch of county
auditors was heard March on
farm lands. Within a few days, the
commission will begin it's considera.
ton of city real estate values. Prop
erty of public service corporation
not held for the purposes for which
that corporation is operated, is to be
listed separately for taxation and not
to be included in the lump valuation
of the property of the utility. This is
the ruling Attorney General Hogan
handed down. The opinion was in re.
spOnse to an inquiry from the tax
commission, and arose from the fact
that many public utilities have their
surplus funds invested in bonds, real
estate and other property, which is
not necessary to the operation of the
company. The attorney general rules
that such property shall be listed and
taxed as private property, as if held
by any individual.

For the second time in five years,
the Ohio house of representatives
voted for a resolution formally making
application for the calling of conven-
ton of the states to amend the federal
constitution so as to provide for the
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people. The joint
resolution was offered by Price Rus
sell of Wayne and was adopted under
suspension of the rules, without dis
senting vote. Thirty states, including
Ohio, have joined in the demand. Ac'

Went Swimming at 90.

The Grand Old Man Of Highgate
Ponds" William Mckenzie, long
known as grandfather" by his fellow
members Of the Highgate Lifebuoys
Club, has passed away at his North
London home. He was in his ninety
third year.
Up TO six weeks ago Mr. Mckenzie
was bathing in Highgate Ponds, where
he had bathed for many years. His
unfailing regularity at the age Of 80
probably constitutes a record in nata-
tion. Until three years ago he joined
in the winter lifebuoy bathing sports.
His practice was to walk over the
two miles from Highbury and back for
his swim.-London Chronicle.

Treasurer Creamer pending the deci-
sion. Up to 1905, members of the leg
islature and state officials were
elected in odd numbered years and
took their seats in the following Jan

Nichols Is Sworn In.

Hugh L. Nichols, in his first act as
majority to get down to business by
enacting laws pledged in the Demo
cratic platform. His induction was
simple. Arrangements were made by
Senators Reynolds, Yount, Deaton of
Champaign and Crawford, special
committee. Nichols was escorted to
the senate presidents chair on the
arm of Senator Deaton. Supreme
Court Judge Maurice Donahue, admin
istered the oath of Office. President
sented Nichols, calling attention to its
being the second time he had intro
duced a new lieutenant governor.
Nichols, in his inaugural, promised
impartiality in rulings as presiding
officer. He found comfort in benefi-
cent legislation in the first half of the
session, particularly in the nonparti-
san judicial elections and ratification
of the income tax amendment to the
federal constitution. He then said:
And yet if the just expectations of
the people are to be fairly realized
much remains to be done. The time
is short and it behooves us to busy
ourselves in enacting into law the
sovereign will of the people as de-
clared only last November. The ap'
prehension of your constituents is, |
believe, not that your sins will be
those of commission, but rather of
omission. 1t is just as reprehensible
to leave undone the things that ought
to be done as to do the things that
ought not to be done. The public is
an eXacting mistress"

Rouse Passes referendum Bill.
Another big section of the ad-
ministration program has been con-
signed by the lower house to the
senate executioners. In the pres
ent disposition of representatives to
vote for anything, confident of mutila-
ton or murder in the senate, the
house passed the Crosser initiative
and referendum bill, 70 to 16. The
only important amendment admitted
was a concession granted by Repre-
sentative Crosser of Cleveland. 1t
reduced the penalties for false sigma
lures on petitions from $500 fine to
800 and from two years in the peni-
tentiary to six months in jail. 1t was
offered by Scott of Harrison. AS
passed, the bill authorizes the filing
in any municipality of a petition
either for an initiative or referen-
DUN by per cent. of the electors.
All ordinances except emergency
measures are held up so days for this
purpose. All signatures on an initia-
tive petition must be made within 120
days. Council has no right to submit
question. All votes are at regular
elections, on special ballots, except
when referendum is demanded by
IS per cent. of the electors. With
decks cleared of the Crosser bill, the
house made merry, then killed the
Plank anti-cigaret bill, although it
lacked only seven votes. Other bills
passed by the house were: Restrict
