IL months contract for tags at the

contract calls for auto tags at only
23h cents a set--a reduction of IN

Tho Low Tax Law

Reporting the operation of the per
cent tax law In Mahoning county, The
Youngstown Vindicator says: MANY
pleased expressions In the treasurer's
office the last few weeks have shown
how the l per cent law strikes Ma
honing county taxpayers. The new
law ls working out as Governor Har-
mon predicted, and nine tenths of the
county tax payers are paying consld-
cradle less this year than ever before.
Farmers and home owners who went
to pay the usual amount have been
surprised to hear the size OF the tax
bill the county had against them.
Many farmer who paid $40 last year,
got OF with Si Others found they
owed only half as much as before.
The way the new system is working
out has made Mahoning county tax
payers feel that no other reform so
important has been accomplished In
life time"

Larry Lansdon Comedian

Larry Langdon, who was leader of
the Republican minority in the 1911
session of the Ohio general assembly,
displayed exceptional talent for come
dy work Saturday evening when he
addressed the Buckeye Republican
club OF Columbus, in the interest of
President TAFT
The audience must have enjoyed
Langdon's utteiances. They were ex.
cep ionally funny. Really, such per-
grafton as Mr.. Langdon delivered to
that Republican Club in the capitol
city of Ohio, should have been made
before the footlights in a theatre, and
an admission fee should have been
charged
Republicans passed all the laws for
which the Harmon administration Is
taking credit" Mr.. Langdon was quot
ed. Maybe Mr.. Langdon intended TO
be funny. If that was so, he certainly
succeeded. Fortunate, indeed, were
those privileged to hear Mr. Langdon.
Maybe Mr.. Langdon forgot that on
ly 49 Republicans occupied seats in
the house of representatives during
the 1911 legislative session. 1t may
also be that Mr.. Langdon forgot that
1t took 60 votes to enact q measure In
the house. There were only 15 Re-
publcans in the senate during this
ession, and that number was three
short of the constitutional majority.
Maybe Mr.. Langdon also forgot that.
and 1t maybe that having forgotten all
these things he was in earnest.
If his memory was so poor as all
that, he will do President Taft's cause
no good, and will only make himself
ridiculous should he continue to make
such assertions.
The Democratic legislature of 1911
enacted II big progressive measures,
and Gov. Harmon advocated all OF
them. These laws represented re-
forms that the people of Ohio had long
been fighting for, and which were de-
MED by Republican state administra-
tions.
Republicans while in control of the
legislative and executive branches of
the state government, refused to give
the people these reforms that Mr.
Langdon complains Democrats, ,misap'
propriated when they took untoNthem-
selves the credit for placing them on
the state books.
Mr.. Langdon would have the people
believe that Republicans, when In the
minority in the general assembly and
without sufficient votes therein to en-
act measures, really put through bills
that they killed when they We're in
control.
Such statement is both ridiculous
and funny. Better hire theatres for
your next speeches. Mr.. Langdon.

our inspectionof the canneries as they
are at present | believe that what is
packed in the state of Ohio Is packed
under just as sanitary conditions as
If they were packed in the average
kitchen of the housewife in any city
in the state, and | also believe there
is less chance of communicating the
product than even in the kitchens of
this city or state but we want to get
that idea brought before the people,
and then you ale going to see the
consumption of canned goods increase
by leaps and bounds; because the
people want better goods-they want
pure goods, and every can they buy
will stimulate taste for more; and
really | believe, as was voiced in your
chail mans excellent paper heie, that,
packed In the large canneries of the
state of Ohio today that there are less
microbes, less number of bacteria
less opportunity for 5acteria-than If
you go upon the markets today and

 Dear Sir:
 Replying to your favor of the 12th instant I regret to note that I have apparently incurred your displeasure fn my conduct of the present campaign on behalf of the Democratic party. The alleged provocation is my in- ability to aid Mr. Hill to bolster up his failing fortunes in his Congress sfonaI contest by permitting him to in ject himself into a Democratic rally and thus attract degree of attention that his fsoup-house' oratory at fac tory gates has failed to bring him.

Were he otherwise engaged than in seeking nOtOriety, he would accept the challenge of his Democratic opponent, his own fellow townsman Hon. Jeremiah Donovan of NorwaIk to debate the tariff in his district.
 ssRora backism'', on the contrary, is the real issue The Republican party has seen fit to openly proclaim it's al- Hance with the brewery. railroad and other special interests by accepting this generally accepted @King of the Lob by'' for the head of this organiza- ,tion.
