DECLARES FINANCIERS
POISON PUBLIC MIND
Senator Owen Takes Rap at New
York City Bank.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Senator Rob.
ert l.. Owen, chairman of the senate
banking and currency committee,
charged that the National City bank
of New York is promoting and direct
ing a propaganda for the purpose of
discrediting the administration mon
etary reform bill. Senator Owen de-
clared that deliberate effort is being
made to mislead the country, to con.
vey the false suggestions" that the
administration is proceeding to re-
vision of the banking and currency
laws without having given the bank
ers of the country a hearing. In his
letter Chairman Owen says:
THE propaganda now being carried
on, led by the National City bank Of
New York, which has circularized the
country against the bill, is obviously
intended to discredit the administra.
tion and to make it appear that the
bankers have not been consulted and
that the committee is not well in
formed. This misrepresentation has
the effect of poisoning the public
mind and misleading public opinion.
Such misrepresentation will thus pro.
mote a private interest against the
public interest. It is an open secret
that these great concerns, like Nor.
gan & Company, have publicity
agents to whom they pay large sal
aries and who are able to create ficti-
tious and false public opinion unduiy
favorable to the contentious Of these
great financial companies.
"The business men of the country
need have no fear that their represen-
tatives and senators in congress will
act unadvisedly, The representatives
of the big banks of the country have
been given the most abundant oppor-
tunity to be heard"

IMPROVING The SCHOOLS.

A vigorous and intelligent cam
paign of instruction in domestic sci
ence in all the public schools of the
state, both rural and urban, is one
of the important policies of the pres
ent state administration, which has
the enthusiastic support Of Governor
Cox.
State Superintendent Of Public In
struction Miller tells of the import
ance of the work as follows: with
in the last 10 years domestic science
has made wonderful progress in our
city schools. Now we are going to
have It taught in every rural and vii
lage high school Of the first grade
and, If possible, every other high
school
we are getting away from the idea
that high schools are for the prepara-
ton of students for college, and com
ing to the idea that they should pre-
pare boys and girls for everyday
life. Every boy and girl should be
handy with tools, understand the prin-
ciples and mechanism of machinery,
and know how to cook and prepare
food for the table.
In my opinion these are real es-
sentials in the education of high
school students. Along with domestic
science we plan to have taught the
hygiene of eating A study of sani-
tary conditions will go with the
courses in domestic science and ply
siology BY this we hope to prevent
disease and thereby reduce the death
rate When our high schools teach
these branches, they will come in
closest touch with the life of the com
munities they are supposed to serve"

MOOSE
Won Sundays Game From
The AII-StaFS
And Took One OF The Games
From The Kelsey Team
At Newark On Monday

In a rather uninteresting game at
Riverside park Sunday afternoon the
Moose defeated the Licking county
All-Stars by score of IL to 8. Tay-
Tor pitched six innings for the locals
and then began to lose control of the
ball. Householder succeeded him and
finished it strong. The Moose scored
six runs in the opening round and then
in the fourth they scored six more.
The Newark club played good ball
and seemed to have an excellent scor-
ing machine that needed oil. 1t be-
gan to work in good shape, however,
but not until too late. At the end OF
the fourth inning the score was 12 to
in favor of the home team. Newark
scored four in the sixth inning and one
in the seventh. Their last run came
in the ninth

On Monday morning the Moose team
went to Newark with a large crowd OF
followers to play the Kelsey club of
that city. Now in reality that is say
ing great deal and proves that the
Mt Vernon boys have considerable
nerve On the face of it, however, it
seems a very ordinary thing that a
team should go to Newark to play the
Heiseys. The team in question won
one of the Labor Day games and the
Moose won the other. Weird stories
of the treatment at the hands of the
Newark management are plentiful and
probably true. The Kelsey manager
refused to furnish the Moose players
transportation to the ball park and al
so refused to pay for the players sup
per. OF course they paid for it them
selves and seemed to be pleased to do
so after doing what numerous Newark
persons mentioned as being practically
impossible, beating Kelsey on his own
grounds and with his own umpire.
The Moose lost the first game by a
score of to 0. The second they won
by to score. Householder started
TO pitch the first one and was slightly
injured by batted BALL He retired in
favor of Taylor who had a sore arm
from pitching Sundays game. Pete
Davis then took up the work and
pitched splendid ball although the UNI
pire refused to call a strike unless the
batter actually made a swing at the
ball
Householder nursed his injured hand
during the first game and was able to
go into the second one. He finished
it and pulled down victory 1t grew
dark while the game was still in pro-
gress, but the Heiseys refused to have
the game called. 1t was their hope
that the Moose would start a kick or
refuse to play. With a slight pretext
Of this kind the umpire was primed,
no doubt, to forfeit the game to the
home team. The Moose saw the idea
and, being at bat, they did not object
to the darkness but began to hammer
the ball in all directions and the Heis-
ey felders could not locate It, Then
they were glad to have the game called
even with the score against them

EAGLES
Won The Game Sunday With
Two Home Runs

The Eagles won a ten-inning game
from the Fahrney Nationals of Colum-
bus at Hiawatha park Sunday after.
noon The final score was to 5. The
local team came from behind in the
late innings of the game and managed
to nose out victory in spite of the
fact that they were on the small end
Of a to 2 score at the end of the sixth
inning.
1t was through the batting OF third
baseman Darling that the score was
tied up. Ike came to bat with two of
the bases occupied. He took a lusty
swing and the ball plunked into the
lake after taking few hops
IN the tenth Smith took it upon him
self to break up the game. He put
his weight against one and dropped it
upon the steep bank across the race
track in right field 1t was another

CORRECTING TAXATION DEFECTS

Three courses were decided upon
some time ago to correct defects in
the tax listing system of the state.
Two of these have been executed
by the passing of the Smith and State
Tax Commission acts. Under these
measures inequalities that had exist
ed between owners of real estate in
different counties and inequalities be
tween owners Of real estate and the
owners of public utility property were
eliminated
Under these two laws, real estate
that had been assessed for taxation at
from 20 to Is per cent of true value
was placed on the duplicate at the
lniform market value, The real
estate duplicate of tho state was in
creased from 81 66i ,6G9,9 ,958 in 1910 to

mission act, was increased from $263,
l91,4SS in 1910 to $9O3 ,869,8OO in

almost double that OF real property.
