TAXES FOR 1918
Totals of Levies For 1913 In Fulton
County Taken From Abstract of
Tax Duplicate. Sent to Columbus
This Week. Changes Effected By
Warnes Law.


This week the county auditor COM
pleted the abstract of the tax dupli-
cate of Fulton county for the year
1913 and filed copies with the State
Tax Commission and with the Audi
tor of State. The county auditors
office heaved an audible sigh of re-
lief when this task which is a long
and tedious one was completed. The
total tax valuation of Fulton county
for this year was 7,207 $3.50, which
is just about one million dollars
more than it was last year. The to-
tai amount Of taxes in the county for
1918 exclusive of the delinquent taxes
to be collected and the dog tax is
22,224.39. This amount when col
lected will be distributed as follows:

supposed to take a heavy burden of
work from the auditors office, but
the relief, unless the law is amended
this winter, will not be so great as
MANY suppose. BY February of next
year the auditor must prepare an
abstract of all taxable property IN
the county with valuations as they
now are, this of course is necessary
in order to give the new district as
SCISSOR a basis from which to work
and will only have to be done once.
The district assessor will have
charge of the deputy assessors and the
auditor relieved of that duty but the
auditor will act as secretary of the
new Board of Complaints, as ne has
for the former Board of Equalization,

stands at present the auditor will
act as member of the Budget Com
mittee so from this end of the work
he gets precious little release from
work. When it comes to the clerical
work of making up the tax duplicate
part Of the work will fall to the
office of the district assessor; it will
be the duty of this office to make out
the tax books in triplicate, up to the
valuations, two sets of these are to be
handed over to the auditor who must
make out the extensions and deliver
one set to the treasurer, retaining
one set in his own office. The major
part of the work lies in this figuring
out of the rate and the amount OF
taxation on each tax valuation as de-
termined by the district assessor.
Persons desiring to know in ad-
vance what their taxes will amount
to will have to apply to the auditor
as at present, the set of books re-
tanned by the district assessor are
not required by the law as 1t now
stands, to have the extensions carried
out. nor does the law require the
district assessor to figure out these
extensions. State levies wilFbe GER
tilted direct to the district assessor
but all special tax for bitches, streets,
buildings. etc., will be certified to the
auditors office as at present. The
idea that the auditors office will be
robbed of most of its work Is mis-
taken one.

The patrons of District No. 6 In
Dover township met at the North
Dover school on the evening of Nov
ember IA to discuss the public Sur
vey Day questions. The school gave
a short program consisting of reci-
tations, an essay and music from a
graphaphone. A very helpful ad-
dress was given by Mr.. E. P. Ames,
of Wauseon. Questions on "How to
better our schools" brought lively dis
cussions by the patrons. The govern
or's proclamation was argued pro and

VILLAGE COUNCIL

The Council met in regular session
last Monday evening and all MEM
bers were present. Routine work was
disposed of and the engineers par
tial estimates for work as completed
on East Elm, Brunell and Franklin
streets were heard and the necessary
provisions made to pay them. The con-
tractors have concentrated their work
ing forces on Brunell street in an en-
deavor to complete that street; the
season is to far advanced to COM
plete the streets that are to have the
asphalt finish this year and the work
will have to wait until the sunshine
of next spring. Several pieces of
sidewalk were considered and orders
we're issued to property owners to
build forthwith or the village would
proceed to build for them. The con-
ditions existing at the intersection of
Commercial and Brunel streets,
brought about by the installation of
the new Lake Shore side track to
the mill buildings, were considered
and the street committee determined
to view the premises and order such
changes as should eliminate danger
to vehicles passing from CONNER
cial to Brunell streets, or vice versa,
as far as possible.
Lights, sewers and street condi-
tions furnished the old familiar sub
jects for discussion, subjects that are
ever with the council members and
which seem never to fail for problems
more or less intricate.
But two more regular meetings re-
main for this present council. The
first of January they will hand over
their responsibility and their prob
lens to their successors.
Whatever may or may not be
charged against tie present council
they certainly cannot be justly charg-
ed of inactivity. They have "done
things" and the things they have
done will remain as memorials of
their activities.

FINAL PLEA FOR ARCHIBALD
Senate May Vote on Impeach-
ment of Judge To- day.
From The Tribune Bureau.


Washington. Jan. lO.-The argument in
the impeachment proceedings against
Judge Robert w. Archibald Of the Com
merce Court, was closed to-day by Rep
fesentative Clayton. speaking for the
managers on the part of the House. II is
possible that vote by which Judge
Archibald will be convicted or the charges
dismissed will be taken before adjourn
ment tomorrow. His friends express the
belief that the two-thirds majority neces-
sary TO convict will be lacking, but a
number of Senators are OF the opinion
that the Senate Will decide against him
There is some question whether the Sem
qualify him from holding office in the
future. or whether it will merely dis
charge him from his present office II the
impeachment charges are sustained.
MIR. Clayton, in the final argument. de-
voted himself mainly to the contention
that ii was within the power of the
Senate under the Constitution to convict
Judge Archibald. because the misbehavior
alleged is contrary TO public policy.
a. s Worthineton. chief counsel for
Judge Archibald. who closed the argument
for the respondent. asserted that IT was
beyond the constitutional power of the
Senate to convict for actions not indict-
able.
This whole case" he said. would not
have come up but for the halluclnations

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. January ~
Seal Herd Situation.

The persistence of Congress in its le-
termination TO enforce an absolutely
closed season for fur seals of FIVE years
is the occasion of genuine anxiety and
modification TO the Department OF State.
Protests have been received from some
of the signatories to the fur seal treaty,
that from Great Britain being couched in
friendly and pacific terms, but others not
so. and the department feels some en-
tarrassment because it cannot truthfully
plead anything but a refusal of the leSis-
lative branch of the government 10 carry
out the spirit of the treaty.
There exists no ground whatever for
putting a stop to the killing of limited
number Of the supertiuous male seals
The herd under that policy. with pelagic
sealing stopped, has materially Increased
and the preponderance of expert tes,i-
mOny is that the herd will be benefited
rather than injured by the killing of SUI
erfluous males. The treaty. as the Pres
ident has pointed out, provides Tor IN
absolute suspension only in case such
action is necessary to the welfare OF the
herd. and no such condition exists. The
embarrassment IS the greater because
after years of fruitless effort. Great Brit
ain. Russia and Japan yielded to the So
licitation of the United States and en-
tered into an agreement which had for
it's primary purpose the conservation OF
the American herd. sending commission
ers and experts to Washington to effect
the convention.
The situation is the more annoying be-
cause IL IS realized by all familiar with
the subject that the absolute prohibition
is due TO a dlsgruntled former employe OF
the government. who. never consistent n
his views. has never failed 10 criticise
wh6 tever policy might be adopted by the
government. and TO his having been taken
UP and exploited by that anti-Taft ele-
ment which. under the guise of con-
servationists. has hestated al nothing de-
signed TO embarrass the present admins
tration. The course of Congress occa-
sions Fnxletv because OF the danger that
some or all OF the signatories TO the
treaty may conclude that. inasmuch as
the United States has wilfully ignored
the spirit OF the treaty, they are war
ranted in abrogating ia step when
would result I'm the immediate revival or
pelagiC sealing and the Inevitable de-
struCtion Of the nerd.

Government Called Party to
"Shipping Conference"

New York Men Tell House Com
mittee Ocean Pools and Re-
bates Are Necessary.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Jan. l0-Aiming 10 turn
the tables OH his inquisitors, Paul Gott-
he'll 4 witness before the House commit
tee investigating the Shipping Trust,
testified to-day that the United States Is
itself a party to a shipping conference
such as the committee is now probing,
and this despite the fact that the govern
ment has filed suit to dissolve what il
known as the foreign shipping combina-
ton.
Mr.. Gottheil. who is president OF Funch,
Edge & Co. Of New York, freight agents
for large steamship companies, asserted
that the Panama Railroad Company. a
government owned concern. operating a
steamship line. belongs to what is known
in the shipping world as the Caribbean
Conference. This conference. in some re-
spects, resembles the agreements against
which the House committee is now on the
warpath. according to Mr. Gotthei!.
Among the companies signatory TO the
Caribbean Conference, he testified. is the
Atlas Line. and the Panama Railroad
Company. for the benefit OF It's steamship
connections, works in harmony with the
Atlas Line to such an extent that the
Panama company may be regarded as a
party TO the conference.
Mr.. Gottheil attempted to justify con-
ference rates on the ground that they
were necessary 10 obtain efficient service
for shippers. notwithstanding that the
government holds all such agreements
violative OF the Sherman law. Mr.. Colt
he'll said that it was impossible. under
conditions of to-day. for a single line to
work independently The scarcity Of bot
toms. he said made Il necessary that
steamship lines cooperate II the public Is
to be served properly.
Most steamship lines trading between
the United States and South and Central
America, South Africa and Australia
use Identical freight rates, agreed to in
conference according to the shipping
men who testified to-day before the com
mittee The witnesses. besides Mr.. Gott-
he'll. were Paul w Gerhardt New York
agent for the Prince Line, and william
f. Hahn. New York agent for the Hous-
ton Line.
All Insisted that no rebates were given
on outgoing cargoes from America by
their companies or those associated with

denied that rebates probably were given
