COMES MONDAY
AZ COurt-HOuse Monday, When
Auditor Morrow Turns Keys
Over TO Successor.

Next Monday Auditor James l.. Nor
row, who for the past four years has had
charge of Mercer County's most import
ant Office, will turn over his keys and
step down and out in favor of Auditor
elect John +. Steinbrunner.
Auditor Morrow has proven one Of the
best Auditors this or any county ever
had. lie has been on the job all the
time, shirlling no responsibility. He has
been an ideal public servant, as pains
taking with the public business as with
his own and was "from Missouri" at
every stage of the game. lie made little
fuss and looked easy" to the unsophis-
ticated-but he wasn't. The wise ones
didn't waste much time trying to con-
vince him but moved OH to more verdant
fields. The business of the payers
of Mercer County was never looked after
more conscientiously and none know it
so well as those who had business in his
office the past four years-who thought
him too exacting and close for common
everyday public business. With jim
Morrows public Office is a public trust,
May their tribe grow.
The new Auditor, John F. Steinbrun-
ner, is a Recovery township boy, a
teacher by profession, and is we'll quail

found accommodating and painstaking
in the conduct of the business of his
office. Prior to moving to this city a

for several years in Marion township.
The last couple months he has been fa-
miliarizing himself with his work, and
when he takes hold Monday will have
a general idea of his duties. Mr.. Nor
row will, however, assist him for several
weeks in putting him next to many i'm
portant matters that will come up for
action, the new Board of Commissioners
also getting the benefit of his service on
many things yet new to them
Those who know Mr.. Steinbrunner
best know he will make good, and honor

M'REYNOLDS SPRINGS
new TARIFF RULING
Holds Discriminating Rate Must
Not Conflict With Treaties.

Washington, Oct. 16 - II was an.
nounced here that Attorney General
McReynolds will interpret the 5 per
cent discriminatory duty clause in the
tariff law differently than the state
and treasury departments have con
stTued it. The impression is growing
that the attorney general will hold
that the 8 per cent reduction in duty
shall not be granted TO American yes.
sells in cases where it would conflict
with the treaty rights of any nation.
Under the Interpretation put upon
the law by the state and treasury de.
partment officials, a ) per cent reduc.
tion was to be granted to American
vessels in all cases and the same re.
duction to the ships Of foreign gov.
ernments with which the United
States had treaties guaranteeing them
against any discriminating duties.
Under the construction which Mr.
McReynolds is likely to put upon the
law the reduction will not be granted
at all in cases where such treaty
guarantees exist.
1t was learned that President Viii
son will stand with Chairman Under
wood against any effort to repeal this
section of the tariff law. This stand
of the president undoubtedly means
that the clause as finally interpreted
by the attorney general will be en-.
forced. and that in cases where for
eign nations seriously object, the
present commercial treaties With
them will have to, be, abrogated.

BURDEN PUT
ON EQUITY
ASSOCIATION
All Over Hut Putting the New Tax
Laws in Operation, Says
Supreme Court.

Columbus, October lS.--All that now
remains for Governor Cox to do in order
that the Warnes and Fitzpatrick laws
may be put in actual operation is to ap-
point the new State tax commission and
other officials necessary to carry out their
provisions.
This condition was made possible Tues
day morning when the Supreme Court
handed down an opinion that the decis-
ion of Secretary of State Graves, in de-
claring that the referendum petitions
calling for a vote on these laws were
illegal and fraudulent, was final and not
subject to revision by the court.
This ends one of the longest and hard
est fought battles ever waged between a
State administration and the representa-
tive Of entrenched private interests, and
at the same time put the initiative and
referendum law to a severe test.
The Ohio Equity Association, with
headquarters in Cleveland, attempted to
have the Green Workmen's Compensa-
ton act, and the Warnes and Fitzpatrick
tax laws submitted to referendum vote
of the people. The petitions in accord
ance with the referendum act we're at
tackled as fraudulent, which charge was
sustained by Secretary Graves after an
extended hearing. The Equity Associa-
ton sought to have the Secretary over
ruled by the court, but that tribunal de-
dided that the Graves decision is final.
As a result of the court ruling the en-
tire method of appraising and assessing
property for taxation in Ohio will under
go radical change. Board of review
will be succeeded by a county tax COM
missioner and assessors will be appointed
instead of elected.

himself to advantage Sunday in the sew

plate,
Hirsch pitched another wonderful
game and should have secured a shut
out. Wehmeyer's home run was a
flluke nothing better than a two-bagger
If Captain Behringer had been playing
his usual fast game, it would have never
passed his init.
Bethel made two sensational stops that
saved trouble. In the second inning
Hanna laced hard one to Hirsch. The
big fellow knocked it down, but the ball
rolled past him. Bruno felded the play
perfect and caught the runner. Again
in the eighth he went over back of Var
lev and got fast drive from Burkes
bat, forcing Wehmeyer at second.
Fans who have been anxious during
the series to see Dolly Gray, the famous
home-run hitter, get one of his round
trip drives, were treated to the stunt
Sunday Huenke had two strikes on
the big fellow, when he gave him one to
his liking. 1t was clean homer, going

Bethel, whose wonderful speed has
greatly improved over last year, and
which makes Bruno look good for faster
company, pulled off the sensational
fielding stunt of the game in theseventh.
Sealts popped up an easy fly to Gray,
who fumbled and the runner went on to
second. He had started for third, when
fearful of Gray's peg he stopped and
started back for the second sack. Gray S
throw went wild, and the ball hit Sealts
in the chest, bounding off into Betzel's
nit, who put i'll on the runner. Very
few saw how the play was executed.
