State Cuts Accident Rates.

Columbus. = Sweeping reductions
ranging from Is to IS per cent in the
premium rates charged for state indus
trial accident insurance under the
Green workmans compensation law
have been made by the state liability
board of awards.
The action follows an eight months
study of hazards to be undertaken in
offering accident insurance under the
state compensation law plan and of
facts obtained by the board from a
constant study of the rate-making
problems.
The greatest reductions are made
on the printing, textile and pottery
and glass industries. A 65 per cent
reduction is made to subscribers to
the state liability fund to employers
in the printing trade. A reduction of
40 per cent is made to employers in
the textile trade who elect or already
have become subscribers to the state
insurance feature A reduction of
from 331s to so per cent is made to
pottery and glass manufacturers.
The majority of the remaining 23
industrial classifications are given
rate reductions of between 25 and 35
per cent. The slightest reduction in
the rate premium schedule is one of
Is per cent made to employers of
metal workers. Coal mine liability
rates are reduced 1874 per cent.
The greatest difficulty has been
found in fixing premium rates which
long experience only can demonstrate
to be correct. There was always the
necessity for maintaining the solvency
of the state insurance fund. Failure
to do this would have defeated the
purpose, consequently rates of the
first schedule were made safely high.
A total of 1922 cases of injury have
been reported to the board since
March /, and sci of these disposed Of
New cases are coming in at the rate
of about ten a day. Last week 70
cases were heard and disposed of.

Columbus. State Treasurer-elect
John P. Brennan will ask the legisla-
ture to set aside a fund on which the
state emergency board may draw. He
figures that the state would have
saved $4,000 in interest payment to
banks had this provision been in
force during the last year and half
since the adjournment of the last leg
islature. In this period the emer-
gency board has made allowances
amounting to $243,625.22. The insti-
tutions and departments to whom the
allowances were made borrowed the
money at 4 to per cent, while the
state has millions on deposit in banks
earning maximum of 3R per cent.
Mr.. Brennan also will recommend
that the end of the states fiscal year
be changed from November Is to June
30, to correspond with the fiscal year
of the United States government. He
plans also to issue to the press a
weekly treasury statement.

Geek to Alter Tax Law.

With the purpose Of making the
Smith one-per cent tax law more elias
tic, its friends are preparing to Co
operate in securing some minor
changes in it at the coming session of
the legislature. The principal defect
they see in it is that it limits munich
palities from raising for taxes a sum
greater than they had in 1910, plus 6
per cent per year since that time.
1t is pointed out that this limitation
has operated more harshly than had
been expected. When the provision
was put in the measure it was ex.
pected that taxing officials in all dis
tricts in the state would work to see
that the full value of all property was
put on the tax duplicate. 1t is con-
tended now that If all values were on
the duplicate, the one-per cent rate
would bring in all the funds required
for all normal needs.
By taking the limit off now. friends
of the measure see an opportunity Of
placing more definitely on the should
ers of taxing officials the need of get
ting duplicates increased.
If the 1910 limit is removed, they
claim, the law would be in such shape
that any taxing district could get
whatever sum of money it needs simp.
ly by getting the taxation values on
the duplicates. The state taxing Off.
cials would then be in shape to refer
taxing officials of the smaller districts
to their own failure to get values on
the duplicate if they lacked for funds.

After rax.podnina Scheme.

The state tax commission, with the
aid of Attorney General Hogan, is
making an effort to prevent escape
from taxation on mortgages made in
the form of deeds or leases, In the
opinion of the taxing authorities, this
scheme of getting around the pay.
ment Of taxes on mortgages is becom-
ing more and more prevalent.
An investigation quietly conducted
into the methods used in the transfers
of property gave rise to the suspicion
that the deeds or leases recorded were
in effect nothing but mortgages. In
an opinion given the tax commission,
Attorney General Hogan holds that
the taxation on an instrument of this
kind depends on whether it is a genu,
inc deed and lease or a mortgage in
legal disguise.
1t is explained by the attorney gen.
eral that where B deeds his property
to A in consideration of a specified
sum and in turn receives from A a
lease with privilege to purchase with
in specified time for the amount Of
the purchase price. the contract does
not create in the hands Of A anything
which can be assessed to him as a
credit" or an Investment" The at
torney general says that the evidence
may be clear that the real intent was
to execute a mortgage through evil
dence showing a previous attempt to
borrow money.
AS test of the deed and lease ar
rangement, Mr.. Hogan says that if the
rent under the lease seems in reality
to be interest on loan the fact may
be taken as giving the transaction the
suspicion of being mortgage.
"The mere fact that the grantor re-
mains in possession, even under a
form of lease" says the attorney gen
eral, sis a circumstance tending to
show that the agreement for re-pur.
chase in connection with the deed con,
stitutes a mortgage rather than a
sale. Inadequacy of the price at
which the legal title to the property
changes hands is a circumstance OF
considerable weight as tending to
show that the transaction is a mort
gage"

lumbus-Dominick Selvaggio has
paid the laws penalty with his
life for the murder of three compan-
ions on Kelley's, island in September,
1911. He walked into the death cham
ber in the penitentiary annex clasping
in his hands the cross and murmuring
the prayers of his church with his
spiritual adviser.
Selvaggio went to his death with the
same firm tread which his companion,
Rocco Levacchio, displayed a week
ago, when he too suffered a similar
fate in the laws enactment.
The crime for which the men have
paid the penalty was the murder of
Anton Viseario and Anton and Jim
Amberlinio, fellow workmen at the
Kelley's island quarries. The bodies
were thrown into Lake Erie. When
they came ashore the crime was dis
covered. Sheriff Herman Reuter- of
Erie county was responsible for the
detection and final conviction of the
men, who were arrested in Pitts
burg suburb.

THANKSGIVING FABLE.

There was once a proud fat turkey
that looked down upon all the rest
of the turkeys and was greatly dis
liked because Of its arrogance and
conceit.
And when Thanksgiving time came
around, the owner of the turkeys came
among them, ak in hand.
Whereupon all of the other turkeys
were jealous of the proud fat turkey
and said that at last it would get
what was coming to it.
But the proud, fat turkey only strut
ted and gobbled with more arrogance

Lawyers Fight Winch's Court Reform.

Circuit Judge Winch of Cleveland
renewed his campaign to do away
with cumbersome, expensive bills of
exceptions by substituting a succinct
statement of the facts to be reviewed
by appeal courts.
AS chief of the circuit judges,
Winch asked for a conference with
Chairman Fl. j. Booth of Columbus,
and Secretary Fred L. Taft of the
state bar committee. Later Winch
will ask the circuit judges to change
the rules to provide for short bills
of exceptions, such as are required in
the United States supreme court
"The bill of exceptions in the Sena-
tor Huffman bribery case contained
1,400 pages" said Winch. "At the
regular rate it cost the plaintiff $420.
The story could have been told in so
pages at cost of SIS.
"The plan l suggest would mean
more work for the lawyers, but it
would decrease the expense of litiga-
ton amazingly. There is no sense in
