ANOTHER TAX BILL
TO BE INTRODUCED

Columbus, o., Jan. 26.-Boards OF
review in Ohio cities will become a
thing of the past and scores of poll
ticlans out of Jobs If a bill introduced
in the house late Wednesday by Rep
resentative Edwards, of Cleveland,
becomes a law. The measure pro-
vides that boards of county assessors
shall perform all the duties of assess
ing property.
Under the Edwards bill, boards OF
review would pass out of existence
on the first Monday in January 1912.
Before that a board of assessors COM
posed of three members will be elect
ed in each county. This board Will
assess properties, hear complaints
and perform all the functions now
undertaken by boards of equalization.
Edwards said Thursday that his
bill would prove "a remedy for prac-
tically all of the assessing evils that
have worried most cities for years. 1t
would bring about yearly appraise-
ments of real estate and DO away with
much of the red tape which now
clogs the tax machinery.

Pleading Thclr own Inioul,y.

That prohibition does not prohibit
and that county option has proven
a failure have been the twin argu-
ments OF the brewery orators who
plead for passage OF the Dean bill.
In what other line Is the criminals
own dereliction sufficient plea to re-
move all bars to his activities. 1--WE
have broken the law easily" say the
brewers. In effect. "Therefore you
must appeal the law and let us do
as we please"
Such an argument will never
triumph. Until prohibition of the
liquor traffic is proven a failure
under strict enforcement, the tenn
perance sympathizers will never yield
an inch. II Is the test Of good en-
forcement from which the liquor man
ufacturers shrink. Hence every effort
OF the brewers organizations have
been bent TO break down law en-
forcement In dry localities, to corrupt
and eneryate public service with
bribes in order that they might be
able to point moral lesson from the
fruit Of their own iniauity.
A common man who boasts Of the
ease with which he has defied the
law is clapped into jail. 1t Is one Of
the evil by-products OF the corpora

An Honest Man who Paid His Tax.

The personal properly tax Is A. J.
Nock's subject I'm the February Amer
lean Magazine. He points out that
the United states is the only grea.
nation where such laws have not been
abolished. that the successful opera
tion of the law is impossible, and that
they are the worst tax laws known
in the civilized world, putting prem
ium on dishonesty and debauching
the public conscience Mr.. Mock as an
Illustration to one of the points he
makes, tells the following amusing
and at the same time amazing story:
"The state of Michigan attaches the
customary horrible penalties to q
false or incomplete return, and makes
use of an explicit listing SYSTEM
not penalizing empty beer-kegs, ] be-
lieve, although the Prohibition tend
ency in Michigan is pretty strong Just
now. A friend of mine married and
| settled In a thriving Michigan town;
and presently the assessor called and
| left a blank with the solemn adj
| monition to list his personal property
| for assessment.
"He made an honest return of ev-
| erythng he had. at valuations that
were absolutely just. to the best of his
knowledge and belief He was as
sessed accordingly and paid his tax
bill without comment
| "When the tax-roll was published
however, he observed with interest
| that he was not only paying the larg-
est tax bill in town, but that he was
| paying more personally taxes thar
all the rest of the people in town put
together. Aware that he was poorer
than many of his neighbors, he natur'
ally felt It was an imposition. and
made fuss about 1t. His townsmer
sympathized, but what was to be
done? Grievance day was past. hi
was assessed on his own sworn state
ment his tax bill had been paid, an(
there was no legal way of getting th'
situation reviewed ex post facto.
"Finally II occurred to some in
genious soul that the town council
might make a special appropriation
and rebate him on his tax bill up t'
an amount that the current, genera
sense of equity would regard as right
and this incredible as II seems, wa
actually done"

"The TraveIIno SaIesman.~

The first act of "The Travelling
Salesman" which comes to the Grand
opera house next Monday evening,
represents the railroad depot of a
small middle west town, with the
usual furnishings that go with this
structure in a rural district. The mod.
ell which Mr.. Forbes has taken for
his comedy is said to really be from
a village in the western part of In
diana, to which Mr.. Forbes journeyed
during the writing of the play, and
where he spent several days in the
study of his subject. Not content with
merely replica of this little depot,
the author opened negotiations with
the railroad officials to buy the old
benches with the high backs, which
for years had done duty in this little
waiting room, and upon which the
boys and girls of the village had
