$245, 5,t03.70.
On September 1, 1912, 10000 sets
OF tags had been issued and the op-
Grating expenses had been reduced to
3.5 per cent OF the receipts, which
show total of 1913, ,106.87. When Mr..
Graves took charge of the Office Janu-
airy 8, 1911, the contract for the tags
for that year had been made, the pur-
chase price being 31c per set.
Mr.. Graves made the contract for
the tags for 1912 at a contract price
of 23hc per set (saving in this alone
S4,500), and for 1913 an even better
price has been secured, the contract
having been made for 22Ac per set,
which will be an increased saving Of
nearly $1,000.
Another matter which was neg
lected by the Republican administra-
ton, but which has been put into op-
Grafton by Mr. Graves, Is the interest
on the receipts of the department be.
tween the time they are received and
the time for depositing with the treas
urer Of state. Mr.. Graves made a
contract with one of the banks of the
Capital City, and upon this account he
secured the rate of interest of 2.75
per cent, to be paid upon the daily
balance. The records of the depart
ment show that for the present year,
up until September /, this item alone
has netted the department S554.28 in
Interest.

LABOR UNIONS ARE
OPPRESSED BY TRUSTS
REPUBLICANS STAND FOR PER.
PETUATIoN OF THE BIG
MoNoPoLIES.

The coming presidential election is
of supreme Importance to working
men. 1t is they who have most
to gain from a change for the
better. It is they who have most to
lose from a change for the worse.
The opposition parties have been for
the perpetuation and the extension of
private monopoly and industry:-that
private monopoly by which the few
have ever profted at the expense of
the many, and for the dethronement
of which the people, in the past,
fought so many valiant battles. The
Democratic party has been for lib
erty and justice for all.
The ability to defeat labOr's right to
combine seems to have been regarded
by the trust magnates as proper test
of the efficiency of their, capitalistic
combinations For instance, six
weeks after the United States Steel
corporation began it's operations,
the executive committee adopted this
resolution: "Be it resolve d, That we
are unalterably opposed to any extern
sion of union labor and advise sub
sidiary companies to taln firm oppo-
sition when these questions come I'D
and say that they are not going to
recognize it; that is, NO extension Of
unions in mills where they do not
now exist" There lait been a tradi-
ton that the steel workers. are highly
paid. In 1902, the year after the trust
was organized, the labor cost per ton
Of pig iron was $125, while in 1909
the cost was reduced' to. so cents.

PETTY CRAFTS STOPPED.
Supreme Court Clerk Mexican Stops
Irregularities Permitted by
Republicans.

When Frank E. Mexican assumed
the office Of clerk of the supreme
court, February 8, 1911, he did so
with the determination to conduct the
| department within the strict letter Of
the law. One of his first acts was to
investigate the official conduct of
former supreme court clerks. There
was a long line of Republican prede-
cessors-the department had been un-
der G, o. P. control for many years.
Such investigation brought to pub
lie attention that former clerks of the
supreme court had made it a practice
to encourage the attorneys at law
throughout the state to allow the
printing Of records and briefs to be
done through the office of the clerk
Of the supreme court, and by so do
ing allow the clerk to favor a certain
printing firm for which the clerk re-
ceived a 10 per cent. commission.
Through such practice it was possible
for the clerk to increase his bank ac-
count between $1,000 and $1,5O0 annu-
ally.
Mr. Mexican at once reported the
circumstances. to Attorney General
Hogan. Those two officials acted in
harmony, with the result that the
practice has been discontinued, there
by resulting in a reduction of the cost
of printing records and briefs during
Mr.. McKean's incumbency.
Other fees that were never intend
ed as belonging to the clerk, espe-
cially since the salary law became ef-
fective some years ago, but which
have always been claimed by former
clerks as belonging to them, have
been turned into the state treasury
by Mr.. Mexican ever since he took
over the office.
Under the state depository law all
public officials are required to deposit
all receipts of their Office or depart
ment each Monday of every week.
Mr.. Mexican is the first clerk of the
Ohio Supreme Court to comply with
that law. He started to follow that
law the first week in office. Former
clerks would deposit the receipts in
banks and hold the money in their
possession for several months before
placing it with the state treasurer,
thereby making it possible for the
clerks to gain the interest instead of
the state getting it.

been raised by Republicans to pay in
creased expenses, while it was openly
charged that before the present ad-
minstration the taxing power had
been used for machine building pur-
poses.
Enormous increases were made to
the taxable values of public utility
property in 1911, but additions were
made to these figures in 1912. The
taxable value of Ohio railroads was
$464,624,772 greater in 1912 than in
1910. During the corresponding years
the property of street, suburban and
1nterurban railroads was increased
$99,5S5,799. Electric light companies
were raised $27996,634, pipe line
companies went on the duplicate for
$6,S43,420 more, an increase of S3,-
74l,2 200 was added to the properties of
water works companies, and $780,
O97 was put on to artificial gas COM
panies. The Standard Oil company
had been unable to dodge any taxes
uuTlns the democratic state admins
tration, for the property of the Buck
eye Pipe Line Co. STANDARD Old was
increased from $5,383, ,106 in 1910 to
$35,000,OO0 in 1912.
In 1910, before Democratic state
officers began compelling corpor.
ations to pay on the same basis
as the farmer and home owner,
these six public utilities paid
taxes Of s213,552,o29 of property,
while in 1912 they are on the tax
duplicate for $6o3,661, 1892. These
corporations in 1910 paid on an
average of 21a per cent. taxes,
and although they pay an average
Of I per cent. in 1912, the In
creased appraisaIs have made
their tax payments much larger.
The payments of the railroads
since 1910 have been increased
more than 100000.

Plain Dealer Urges Reelection of
Commissioner STROBE.

Faithful, efficient service in office
always gives an incumbent a strong
claim for reelection. Because At
torney General Hogan has been con-
spicuously successful public servant,
he deserves endorsement at the polls.
BY the same argument, S. z. Strobe,
state dairy and food commissioner,
ought to triumph over his opponents
"Mr. Strode's service has been less
conspicuous than Mr.. Hogan's, from
the nature of his duties. The com
missioner has worked hard and ef-
fectively, however, to promote the
interests of the people of Ohio in the
matter of pure food and proper dairy
inspection. AS state sealer of
weights and measures, he has used
the authority of his Office to see
that consumers get an honest return
for the money spent for table sup
plies.
Better than any of his predeces-
sors, Commissioner Strobe has rea-
lized the good to be accomplished
through liberal publicity. He has in
vited the cooperation Of citizens and
citizen organizations throughout the
state to help in the reforms urged for
the general good.
Neither by experience nor associa-
tions can Strode's competitors claim
an equality with him. 1t is no refec-
lion upon either of them to emphasize
Strodes superiority.
Commissioner Strobe should be
70 elected. The indications are that
his sentiment is shared generally
through the state. .p-CIeEeland Plain

s75, ,1se97-The Largest In the His.
tory of the State = Corporations
Made to Pay Increased Expenses.

Democratic economy and efficiency
have rescued the state from threat
ened bankruptcy and restored its
finances to a healthy condition. In
1911, for the first time in three years,
there was a balance of $104, ,949.04 on
the light side of the ledger, when the
expenditures and the receipts were
t1taled. In the two previous years,
Republican general assemblies reck-
lessly and extravagantly appropriated
money far in excess of the states rev.
enue for those years, and there were
deficits aggregating $1,539,96764.
To make the situation still worse,
the Republican general assembly of
1910, before it adjourned, started
several new building projects and
was unkind enough to leave the bills
to be footed by Democrats. Obliga-
tions amounting to $725,OOO were thus
inherited by the Democratic legisla-
ture and paid.
A loss in other revenues, such as
the abolition of convict labor and the
voting out of saloons in many coun-
ties of the state, also contributed to
the lowering of the treasury surplus.
And while the Republicans were
pointing to the nearly depleted treas
ury which the members of their party
brought about, Democratic state Off
GERS commenced the enormous task
Of building up the balance.
So we'll was this work done that on
February 8, 1912, the treasury was in
state Of great affluence, the surplus
being $6,975, 1877, or $84,O4O05 more
than was turned over by the Republi |
cans. State Auditor Fullington had |
predicted there would be a depleted |
treasury. It was an accomplishment |
that reflected great credit upon the |
administration and it demonstrated |
the ability and competency of Demo
Gratis to govern well.
The balance of more than $4,000 |
re naming after all the expenses in
1911 were paid, stands forth as an ac-
complishment of considerable merit,
when one considers that the expenses
of the government were greatly in
creased by the creation of new state J
boards and commissions, in compli-
ance with the peoples request and to
redeem party platform pledges.
There was an increase Of $1,470,-
170.24 in revenue in 1911, to meet
these increased fixed charges of the
state government But the burdens
Of the people of moderate means were
not increased to any great extent. In
stead of taking this immense sum
from the pocketbooks Of the poor, the
Democrats made corporations pay the
same in the shape of excise and cap
tal stock taxes, the increase from
his source being $1,148,79709.
In addition, there was an increase

FARMERS HELPED
BY DEMOCRATS

"I shall have something to say
about Mr.. Cox and his party having
failed to discover that there are farm
ers in Ohio" said the Third Term
Party's candidate for governor while
talking in Columbus recently about
his proposed speaking tour of the
state.
When the Third Termer searches
the records and finds just what has
been done for the Ohio farmer dur
ing the state Democratic administra.
tion he will discover that by making
the above statement he has made
himself ridiculous, for it is an es.
tablished fact that more has been
done for the farmers of Ohio since
the advent of Democrats in the state
house few years ago than was done
in the so years preceding. 1t was
the Democratic party that first dis
covered the farmers, for their inter-
ests had been neglected by Republi-
cans.
A decent respect for the farmer
and his calling has been inspired and
firmly established. A law has been
enacted that values property Of
railroads and other big corporations
up to equality with that of farm
property, which before Democrats
took hold of the governmental reins
in Columbus paid more than it's share
Of taxes. The fertilizer frauds,
which existed for years and which
were an economic loss of millions of
dollars to the agricultural interests,
have been eliminated A state serum
and research institute for the protec.
ton Of live stock interests has been
established.
The state appropriation for the sup.
preston and prevention of contagious
infectious diseases among live stock
was increased by Democrats from
$4,000 to 100000 a year. The or
chards are being looked after by ex.
perts, over 100000 have been appro.
priated during the Democratic regime
for five-day agricultural schools in
each county of the state, funds for
county farmers institutes have beenl
increased from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year, liberal appropriations have been
made for running agricultural trains
throughout Ohio, thorough and rigid
of commercial feeds and
fertilizers are being made to protect
farmers from INSCRIPTIONS dealers,
who in the past robbed them of mil
lions Of dollars, and no item carry
ing an appropriation for any of the
states big agricultural institutions
has been vetoed during the entire pc.
rod of Democratic rule in the state
house.
One of the crowning events of the
administration for farmers is the |
lew law requiring the teaching Of
agriculture in all country schools a
Measure that has been of more bene
it to agriculturists than any other
iingle law ever enacted in Ohio
Many other beneficial laws were en-
Lcted, the above being few of the
more important.
