As sANoLEs VIEWS IT

''In order that cost should be de-
creased and efficiency increased. the
state agricultural commission bill was
passed" says A. p. Sandles, secretary
of the state board Of agriculture. "The
farmer Institutes are under control Of
the state board of agriculture. The
extension schools are under different
management. Both are similar work
and both sometimes go into the same
towns. One control would mean more
effective work at less expense.
"The agricultural college, the ex
pertinent station and the state board
of agriculture all make exhibits at
county fairs. One control would pre-
vent conflicts In exhibits.
THE same three institutions are
giving orchard demonstrations In prun-
ing and spraying. Exactly. the same
work. under three different manage
rments. Three post oflices In small
town would be, Just a. reasonable.
EVERY branch Of the U. 8. depart
ment Of agriculture IL dove-tailed un
der one control. Ohio is small Ia
comparison, but Ohio. agriculture Ii
scattered into fragments. and In weak
and expensive accordingly. The agri
cultural commission bill means new
birth for the industry"

TAXATION SYSTEM

: Under the system Of having proper.
tty appraised for taxation by. elected
.assessors, the value Of assessed real
estate and tangible personal proper
,ty on the grand duplicate OF the state
AS compared to intangible personal
property has Increased from sixteen
10 one In 1880 to thirty.two to one In
ilsll.
To illustrate, the value OF all real
estate and tangible personal property
,on the duplicate In 1880 was sixteen
times greater than the value of all In
tangible personal property. while In
1911 the value of the real estate and
tangible personal property was thirty.
rNU times greater than the value OF
aoi intangible personal property.
All the statistics connected with
iths assessment Of and appralsing OF
property for taxation brand the elect
iiye assessor system an inadequate Ia
get on the duplicate property that
can be hidden and is concealed. To
'sassessors. their elections mean mon
sey. An honest appraisal OF Intangible
personal property would mean. In
many instances, the loss Of their posi-
ations. So they make the farmers
home owners and possessors Of other
forms Of tangible property pay the
big share OF taxes
Unless change IL made In the
method OF selecting assessors. the ra
ifio Of tangible property To intangible
property ON the duplicate would In
crease from year to year, Valuations
OF real estate would soar higher and
higher, and more and more intangible
property would escape AS the years
go by.
The Warnes state tax commission
bill Was passed 80 that force of ID
cal assessors free from all local In
duences could be obtaineds men who
will be free to make fair and adequat,
valuations OF all classes OF propert,
without fear OF Interference from 10
cal people.
Farmers and home owners hav'
nothing TO fear from such . policy
+ Their property is on the dupiicat,
But the millions Of dollars worth o
new Intangible property that woul'
! 20 brought forth and placed on thu
duplicate would reduce the taxes 0

TRAIL OF THE SERPENT

Before an Ohio farmer attaches his
signature to one Of the petitions for
. referendum on the Cunningham
commission bill, he should decide this
question: Is 1t policy to help over
throw q bill that was drafted at the
state university by men prompted by
q desire to promote the agricultural
interests. and then amended to meet
with the approval Of committee Of
grangers and the heads Of all the az.
riculturai departments whose future
work was involved?
In arriving at a decision, the farm
ers should take into consideration the
fact that the private liability insur.
ance companies are financing the
movement for this referendum
