THE AKIN LAW

SUIT IN SUPREME COURT TO
MAKE TEST CASE.

Industrial Home in Good
Condition.

Columbus.-To test the right of the
state to collect the Akin $1,000 sa-
loon tax in dry territory, Newark sa-
loonkeepers have filed a suit in the
United States supreme court.
The suit came as the result of the
dairy and food commission assessing
the tax on persons found selling in
toxicating liquor in Licking county.
Robert w. Mccoy of Columbus, and
Jones & Jones of Newark are the at
torneys for the saloonkeepers.
Every question involved in these
cases." said Superintendent Wayne B.
Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon League
yesterday, has been passed upon
time after time by the United States
supreme court. A notable decision
was rendered in the Michigan case,
in which the supreme court held the
United States liquor tax could be col
lected in dry territory. In that de-
cision the court held that because one
branch of government, in that case
the state of Michigan had, failed to
enforce the law that it could not be
set up that another branch of gov
ernment could not enforce another
law by the collection of a tax.
"The Ohio supreme court also
passed on the questions in these cases
two years or more before these cases
were brought to it,"

Old Question Revived.

Preparations for nominating dele
gates to the constitutional convention
by petition and for electing them on
nonpartisan ballots, as provided in the
Green law, will continue despite the
alleged discovery" by Secretary Of
State Graves that the constitution
states they are to be chosen in the
same manner as are members of the
legislature.
This point was raised, discussed,
thrashed out and held by Governor
Harmon, Attorney General Hogan and
lawyer members of the legislature not
to be we'll taken at the time the Green
law was under debate.
Of course, the supreme court might
hold otherwise if anybody should pre-
sent the question in test case. But
the court always has favored liberal
construction Of close points rather
than cause crises in state affairs.

MORE EXCELLENT
REPORTS FROM
WESTERN CANADA
Grains Are Heading Out
Rapidly and Harvest Is
Now Approaching With
a Great Demand for
Harvest Help.

Last week 1t was pointed out In
these columns that there would be a
yield Of about 2OO,0O0,O00 bushels OF
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
increase of about 100000,000 over the
previous year, and that the demand
for farm help was very great. Con-
firmation Of this news is to hand and
the cry still is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends of the 100000 or 100000
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help Of these people and induce
as many able-bodied men as they pos
sibly can to take advantage Of the
low rate which is being offered from
all points on the Canadian Boundary,
and particulars of which can be had
from any of the following Agents Of
the Canadian Government: M. v. Nc

Every facility will be afforded men
of the right stamp to secure advantage
of these low rates. To those who pro-
pose to go, it may be said that they
will have this splendid opportunity OF
securing first hand information as to
the excellent producing character Of
the lands in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. They will have the op-
portunity Of seeing some of the great
est wheat fields in the world and prob
ably the largest yield of wheat, oats
and barley that has ever been grown
on the Continent. And all this on
land some of which cost the settler
only the $1,000 necessary to enter for
his homestead, or, if he purchased,
in some cases, costing him from $500
to $1,000 per acre, but which is now
worth from $500 to $4,000 per acre.
Even at these prices the land is re-
markably cheap as will be realized
when the statement is made that from
20 to rs bushels per acre and over
of wheat are grown, netting the farm
er from $500 to $1,000 per acre; and
this on land that he got for nothing
or paid merely a nominal price. In
fact the production shows that $500
to $4,000 per acre would be nominal
price for land that would produce az
these lands produce.

HEAR TAFT
PRESIDENT TALKS PEACE TO
BLUE AND GRAY.
Announces Arbitration Treaties With
France and Great Britain Will Be
Signed Within Ten Days.

Manassas, Va, July 22.-President
Taft in addressing several thousand
Union and Confederate veterans made
a vigorous plea for international
peace and was applauded and cheered
most heartily.
The president declared that gen
eral arbitration treaty both with Great
Britain and with France probably
would be signed within the next ten
days. He added that he hoped within
the next few days to announce that
three other great powers would enter
into similar agreements with the
United States. He did not go so far
as to indicate the nations that he had
in mind, but it was generally be-
lieved that he referred to Germany,
Italy and the Netherlands. Japan ul-
timately may come into the far-reach-
ing peace pact, but the negotiations
with the empire as yet are said to be
merely tentative.
President Taft reached Manassas
after a tempestous trip. 1t was so
strenuous that the presidential party
abandoned their motor cars here and
returned to the capital by train. Mr..
Taft laughingly likened his troubles
in getting to Bull Run to those that
some folks 80 years ago had in get
ting away.
Il brought some senator's and repre-
sentatiVes down with me from Wash
ington," he said, "and because of the
exigencies of the road and the storm
and strife of the elements we came
far more slowly than some senator's
and representatives who came down

To Investigate Portrait Case.

To investigate Portrait Case.
Columbus-It has been announced
that Attorney General Hogan will take
a hand in the mystery surrounding the
pictures of four old Ohio governors.
He will also investigate the payment
of 1000 to Mrs. E. J. Hollingsworth,
state library clerk, for painting the
four new pictures, now hanging on
the wall in the capitol rotunda.
The legislature appropriated the
money on representations in a letter
to the house finance comMittee and

Any effort to recover the money paid
to Mrs. Hollingsworth would be based

cleaned or repaired. Long, In an In

No Extra Session Necessary.


Columbus.-It has been stated with
authority that Gov. Harmon has not
the slightest intention of calling
special session of the legislature this
fall.
While he is secluded in his summer
home at Charlevoix, Mich, those who
know intimately his position on the
subject, agree that the executive
neither is disturbed nor surprised by
the latest racket over the Smith tax
limit law. That has been expected.
1t is certain that the judgmen of
Gov. Harmon has no been affected by
the opinion on the subject given
out by Attorney General T. S.
Hogan. On two propositions during
the recent legislative session. Gov.
Harmon staked his admitted standing
and reputation as an attorney. The
workability of the Smith law with
out amendment was one of these. The
other was the legality of non-partisan
election of delegates to the constitu-
tional convention. The governor now
appears to be standing alone with
Judge R. NJ. Dittey, chairman of the
tax commission, in the belief that
the Smith law needs no immediate
alteration.
On the nonpartisan constitution the
governors position finally was accept
ed as sound practically by every men,
ber of the legislature competent to
Judge. That question now has been
revived by Secretary of State Charles
Graves, who is paraded as making a
great discovery" that the constitu-
ton requires delegates to the conven-
ton to be elected in the same man
ner as members of the general assem-
bly,. After months of discussion it
was agreed that manner" was no
bar to forbidding party designation
on the ballot for delegates, although
discovery" was sprung, Graves left
for a sudden vacation, when there was
a chance for trip up the lakes on a
freighter. The question will go into
the courts, but there is no general
apprehension regarding the outcome.
The Smith law tangle also will be
settled by the courts, but the COVER
nor is as confident of his ground on
that as on the Green constitutional
convention law. The only question
involved is whether the statute re-
quiring councils to make appropria.
tions at the beginning of each fiscal
half year is directory or mandatory.
1t has been assumed generally that it
is mandatory. Gov. Harmon and
Judge Dittey, after thorough inves-
tigation, found stacks of decisions
holding that it was merely directory.
They have taken their stand on these
decisions of numerous courts.
If they are correct it is only neces-
sary for councils to make appropria-
tions in January to the extent of
money in the treasury, which will
carry until more money is received,
when additional appropriations can be
made.

Commission Unable to Get $4,000.

Commission Unable to Get $4,000.
The public service commission will
not be able this year to get the $751;
900 provided for it's maintenance un-
der the new utilities law by assess
ment upon the railroads and public
service corporations of the state.
This is what Attorney General
Hogan holds in an opinion given
out. Because the railroads are not
required to file their reports from
which it is determined how much they
are to pay until after the time for
the certifying and collection of the
assessment, the holding is that the
assessment cannot be made until next
year. Meanwhile the commission may
use any appropriations which were
made for the old railroad commission,
according to the ruling.
