AS SEEN FROM THE OUTSIDE

1t ls an easy matter to maintain
law and order under the usual con-
ditions which prevail In city. 1t
takes real man to continue both in
a crisis, such as comes when the pas
sons of any considerable element are
aroused to the fighting point.
The vital question to be determined
in our capital city In the election In
November, is whether the people
there approve the record Of man
who, as mayor, did what the ordinary
man can do under ordinary circum-
stances, but who failed in crisis.
If the people of Columbus care for
the opinion OF an outsider, who is
merely an onlooker and not partici-
pant In the strenuous mayoralty fight
being waged in that city, the above
is our opinion. 1t Is also the opinion
OF the hundreds upon hundreds OF
Mt. Vernon people who have occasion,
for various reasons, business and
pleasure, 10 fISlL COLUMBUS, anu "no
did not feel secure in that city during
the street railway strike of the Mar
shall regime. The interest of the
people of Mt. Vernon in our capital
city prompts The Banner to remark
that there are better candidates than
Marshall.
What's the matter with Mayor
George j. Karb? Wasn't the flood q
bigger problem to handle than the
street railway strike? Didn't he
come out of that o. X?
What is the use of all this fighting
in Columbus over the mayoralty, any
way, with George ]. Karb on the job

TAX EXPERTS ApeRove LAW

Experts in taxation from every
state in the Union placed a hearty
.. r. upon the Warnes appOintiVe
taX assessor law at the national tax
conference in Buffalo.
Carlton B. Pierce, chairman of the
New Jersey commission 10 Anvestigate
tax assessments, explained the pro
posed bill that is being drawn in
President Wilson's own state, 1t will
be a replica of the Warnes law.
Mention of the Governors name
in the conference by G. Al. tuthy, Of
the Columbus board Of review in con
nection with Ohio tax reforms,
brought great applause. The princi'
ole of tax listing set forth in the
NNaInes law was FIRST recommended
d1y a commission which former Gov
.erIpur Mckinley appointed. Former
Governor Harmon tried without avail
10 have il adopted. and Governor Cox
has finally accomplished what these
two distinguished Governors striyed
to attain.
Nr Luthy, who spoke at the na
slonal tax conference said in part
"The Warnes act means efficiency
IN the administration Of the present
tax laws in Ohio. The purpose was
20 increase individual responsibility
IN the discharge of this most import
ava and delicate function Of govern
WsGlt- The appointing power is vest
ed IN state authority, rather than II
n iocal authority, for the obvious
reason that these officials can theI

KENYON WON

Gambler, Oct. 27-Kenyon defeated
Muskingum in one of the hardest
fought games this season, 23 to 10,
Saturday afternoon.
Muskingum showed unusual strength
Time after time Kenyon was forced to
defend her goal from inside her 20
yard line, but her opponents lacked
the force to push the ball over. The
game was slow, owing to repeated ar
guments by the Muskingum players
Muskingum threw a scare into the
Kenyon adherents by scoring 10 points
in the third quarter, making the score
1910. In the fourth quarter, after a
series of forward passes by Kenyon,
Calm went over for the final touch
down.
Luddin and Calm starred for Ken
yon, while Garges and Atkinson prov
ed the best ground-gainers for Mus
kingum, the latter especially by mum.

TO ELIMINATE PUBLICATIONS

Implications and Implications OF ac-
tivities by different state agricultural
departments under the old laws gov
erning this work were sources Of ex-
travagalce The salaries and travel
ing expenses of field men in these
activities made heavy burden for the
taxpayers to bear.
Two Of the departments conducted
farm trains and many times ran them
N,er tie same route. There we're du-
plicat,ons and Implications in exhibits
at county fairs, Institutes, schools and
lectures.
One of the most sensible and busi-
nesslike plans which has yet been
considered by the state Agricultural
commission is that Of Commissioner
Strobe for the consolidation Of all ag-
ricultural extension work. He would
place all these activities under sub
department to be known as the ex-
tension bureau This would elimin-
ate all Implications, correlate the ac-
tivities and result in an immense
saving. The commission looks with
favor upon the plan and VIII probably
adopt it, with men already in the state
employ in charge

organized the Ohio Equity assocla-
ton, provided corruption fund of
several hundred thousand dollars
They used it to purchase a referen-
dunn on the compensation law, and
manufacture opposition to others pro-
gressive measures enacted by the gen.
eral assembly. Incidentally the Ohio
Equity association rounded up all the
members of the old corrupt gang and
formed an organization, the member
ship of which comprises every lobby
ist who used to purchase laws in the
general assembly, every man who ev-
or enjoyed a special privilege at the
hands of the state, all legislative
agents, men who piled the corrupt
practice of bribery and the greedy
crew that used to rob the state treas
ury. All have been banded to fight
the state administration.
The vicious trade of each class has
been stopped by the state admins
tration. They realize that when the
present regime is voted another term
their vocations will be gone. There
fore they are making last desper
ate stand They have also enlisted
under their banner every malodorous
politician in Ohio, who has been ac
customed to receive his share of the
pluuder, big or little.
When such dirty crew takes uT
weapons to fight, their instruments OF
warfare are naturally stained. Wick
ed insinuations, vicious suggestions
and bushwhacking tactics are theil
! methods of warfare. They are moi
lacking In funds; the contribution
| from all persons who ever enjoyed
privilege are SO large that the peo
pie of Ohio must be aroused to the
iniquity of the gang.
The critical period has arrived. d.
the people want the progressive
march Of their commonwealth halted
Do they want special privileges re
stored to a greedy few? Do the.
want the lobbyists returned to thei
old haunts in the legislative halls
Do they want the old greedy crew t.
walk up to the state treasury AM
steal interest earnings on publ
money? Do they want to maintai
the advantage they have been give
by the present state administration?
The hands of each class are reacf
ing cut for grips on the places fror
which Democratic administration
dislodged them.

fcation OF expenses will be made for
the guidance of those who must make
estimates, while a system of record
ing is to be given that will give in
formation for purposes of comparison.
The state budget is one of the most
important of the many financial meas
ures passed upon the recommendation
of the governor. 1t means that the
general assembly will never again
be called on to appropriate millions
of dollars without knowing whether
all the money is actually needed. A
savings of half a million dollars will
be made under this system.

THROWN
lyon A Buggy And Sustained
Fractured Arm

Mrs. Elias Leonard, residing several
miles north of the city, was injured
in an accident that occurred Just
north of town Sunday afternoon. Mr..
and Mrs. Leonard were driving home
at about 3 o'clock after visit in Mt.
Vernon when they met an automobile.
Their horse scared and upset the bug
gy, throwing both Mr.. and Mrs. Leon
ard to the ground. While her hus-
band escaped without injury, Mrs.
Leonard sustained a fracture of one
of the bones in her left forearm. She
was brought to the office of a physi-
clan in Mt Vernon where the frac-
ture was reduced

A VICIOUS PROPOSITION

The Banner has heretofore, and with
some detail, explained the Smaller
Legislature proposed amendment to
the constitution of Ohio, which is to
be voted on at the election on Novem-
ber 4. 1t is vicious proposition and
should enlist the opposition of every
voter In the smaller counties and that
OF every fair.minded voter in all coun-
ties, large or small The effect of its
adoption would be the taking over by
the large counties of the state of all
legislative power-that is, the majori-
ty in each branch of the legislature
would be made up of the senators and
representatives from the large coun-
ties, like Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Lucas
and Franklin, and small coterie In
each branch could control the legis-
lation and say just what measures
feated. The smaller counties would be
grouped into Legislative districts com
posed of several counties. The county
unit would he gone. 1t Is not difficult
to foresee the result of such a situa-
tion upon legislation, and the unfair.
ness of depriving each county of sep,
arate representation.
The danger signal over this Smaller
Legislature proposition has been hung
out and it is of the utmost cOnse
quence that the voters of the smaller
counties heed It.
1t is time to act before it is ever
lastingly too late
Every voter in Knox county should
60 to the election on Tuesday, Noyem
ember A, and vote No on the Smaller
Legislature amendment. 1t is duty
he owes to himself and to those who
are to come after him.

CORRUPT GANGS IN THE LAST

Of lobbyists. Not a single dirty dollar
was in evidence to tempt legislators.
This law put the old gang OF corrup-
tionists out of business and they had
to levy their blood money upon mis-
guided business men under some 9TH
