Hogan's Ruling, If Sustained, Will
Knock Out Referendums.
Columbus, o., Aug. 11.AThere will
be no referendum on the Green work
mems compensation, the Wames and
Fitzpatrick taxation laws, and there
will be no initiation of constitution
al amendment for a smaller legisla-
ture if legal opinion given by Attor-
ney General Hogan is sustained.
In ruling to Prosecuting Attorney
Archer L. Phelps of Trumbull county,
Hogan holds that each signer of ref
erendum petition must, for himself,
write in the name of the township
and county, or the name of the mu-
nicipality, the street and number and
the ward and precinct, and that no
second party is authorized to fill in
this information.
The effect of this ruling will be to
nullify all three referendums and the
initiated constitutional amendment
proposal, because on all four petitions
there are thousands Of instances
where the signer did nothing more
than indite his name, the other infor-
nation being written in either by the
solicitor of the name or someone else.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL
TREACHERY
The Public, Chicago. ]

When an illustration of a protective
duty is needed that most clearly shows
the absurdity and injustice of Protec-
tionism, what is usually selected Why
a duty on bananas, a duty so preposter-
GUS and outrageous that hitherto no
standpat Protectionist has had the cour-
age to advocate it. The Democratic
party, being otensibly opposed to Pro-
lection, it would not seem probable that
a banana duty would be proposed, even
by one of the hypocritical, treacherous
Protectionists who plague the party with
their presence. But, astounding as it
may seem, such duty has been incor-
porated in the pending tariff bill by SEN
ator Simmons of the Senate Finance
Committee, and other standpatters mas
querading as Democrats. 1t is incred-
ible that they did know that they were
putting in duty that would be most
in discrediting the party in
which they claim membership. Of
course there are other and far more seri-
Gus objections to such duty. At time
when the increased cost of living is SER
ious problem, it will tend to still further
it. 1t will add to the great bur-
den of taxation already placed on the
poor, and will tend to make the banana
business in the United States stronger
than it already is. The Pro-
Lectionism of Democrats seems more out
and extreme than that of their
Republican confederates.

No one hears a whimper against the

of property owners who have been pay
ing their just share of taxes and expect
to continue paying the same.
The millionares who have been barter
ing political support in return for favors
from the elected assessors of property

movement for a referendum on the bills
They alone are responsible for all the
noise that is being made against a change
in the method of valuing property. In
fact, only the tax dodgers would be harm

for getting property on the duplicate.
1t is to their interest to have the taxing
machinery ineffective and inefficient, 1t
is to the advantage to all persons who
have been paying their Just share of taxes
to have an able and efficient method for
getting property on the duplicate,

"THE GIRL MUST
SUFFER"

The chief of Pittsburg's police recently
received note saying; by the time
you get this will be in the river. My
life has been ruined by a man we'll known.
Men get off easy, but the girl must
suffer"
He hurried an officer to the place
where the writer said she intended to
jump from high bridge, but too late.
A moment before the officer arrived, a
young girl had climed to the railing and
dived over. Her body was not recovered.
Her name is unknown.
Yes, alas, men get off easy" That
man, for instance. Well known he may
be, but not for the treachery which sent
this poor girl into the sheltering depths.
Perhaps we'll known for his gifts to char
ty for his attendance at church, for
his prominence in the activities of
business. Perhaps we'll known as a hus-
band and father He had amused him
self for a time with pretty human toy
had feigned the arts of a lover to satiate
a selfish passion, and then, boy-like, tired
of the pastime had thrown her aside.
She lies somewhere in the rivers sweep,
cold and stark; but he goes on his way
untroubled Verify the girl must suffer.
And it pains us to say that it has al
ways been so and that we very much fear
it will be 50 to the end.
For woman, the matrix of the race,
the one in whose soft body, close to whose
warm heart, all the children of the race
must find their way into the world, lies

dition, that for that unique function,
with its tremendous import to the future
she must guard jealousy her honor, her
fitness for motherhood.

COMPLIMENT FROM UNEX-
PECTED SOURCE

Ohio State Journal, Republican
When corrupt influences were driven
out of the state legislature, it was to be
expected that they would place their
sinister hands on the referendum.
Under the old plan they bought bad
laws. Now they attempt with money
and Burns detectives to destroy good
laws.
But the state is fortunate in having a
governor who is able and courageous
enough to defeat them. Governor Cox
knew what it meant to fight
these corruptionists when he gave battle.
He has right now the plain evidence that
of the So major laws enacted under his
guidance not one has provoked sufficient
opposition in the state upon which an
honest referendum could be secured.
That in itself speaks volumes for the
legislation and the confidence of the
people in the governor.
With stout heart and cool head he has
saved the referendum and has established
his precedent-that it must be clean for
Ill times.

Hon. w. J. Bryan, Secretary of State,
is attending to his duties at the capital,
Washington, d. c. In addition to that
he is delivering few Chautauqua lee

immeasurably. Nothing new about that
however. They have been worrying
about Bryan ever since 1896, and they
may continue to worry about him for
years to come, if he lives and has good

blue smoke at Washington On August

parcels post service. He not only lowers
the price but orders that the weight of

ONE-CENT POSTAGE BOBS
UP AGAIN

That old wolf in sleeps clothing
One-Cent-Letter- Postage-is out again.
Certain senator's, certain newspapers
and certain invisible influences are busy
once more with active propaganda for
education in iirst-class mail rates.
The average citizen would not profit
so cents year by l-cent letter postage.
Big city corporations and banks would
profit thousands of dollars. One New
York bank is reported to spend Sl4OO
day on first class postage. This bank
would profit 500 day by the proposed
reduction
Two cents for collecting, forwarding
and delivering letter is plenty cheap
enough. A letter that isn't worth 2
cent stamp ism worth writing.
The real purposes behind the 1-cent
letter postage movement are two: First,
to benefit big business, and second, to
so curtail the receipts of the postoffice de-
partment that further extensions and re-
ductions in parcel post will be impossible.
The workingman, the clerk, the small
business man and the farmer will gain
only few pennies by 1-cent letter post
age, and lose 10 times that much on
parcel postage. There is nothing in l.
cent letter postage for common, every

NEW JERSEY PROGRESSIVES'
OPPORTUNITY

The Progressive party of New Jersey
will live up to its name and profession
should it make Edmund B. Osborne, OF
Montclair, its nominee for governor.
Mr.. Osborne is progressive who is not
afraid of progress. In announcing his
candidacy he announces also a platform
which may well serve as a model to all
progressive platform builders. He de-
clares for the abolition of Privilege in
every form, and does not leave to the
imagination what he means by "Privi-
lege" as the following excerpt from his
declaration shows:
privilege operates in the
following ways to enable the
few to take the earnings of the
many: Appropriation by indi-
Vlduals of the increase I'm land
values created by the cOmmun-
ity; the private ownership of
railroads and public utilities;
all indirect taxes; defective
banking and money laws, and
the patent monopoly. Some
of these forms of privilege can
be abolished only by national
legislation; the others can be
abolished I'm New Jersey by
State legislation. This is our
task"
He further declares for the Initiative
and Referendum, Recall, Recall of Ju-
dicial decisions, Equal Suffrage and the
Short Ballot Such platform all true
Progressives must favor, regardless of
what party names they bear. Mr.. Os-
borne's program, with ticket composed
of men honestly favoring its principles
is one that deserves to win. Whether
he actually will win greater number of
votes at the coming primary or not, Mr..
Osborne will surely do much to pave the
way for the adoption of his principles at
some time that can no longer be far off.

ANOTHER OFFSPRING OF
PROTECTION IDEA
Toledo Blade.

The legislature of Pennsylvania passed
law at its session oflast winter which
1evies tax of II per cent of the value
of every ton Of anthracite mined, or ap-
proximately five cents ton.
The coal operators Immediately raised
the price of coal at the mines to cover
the tax, aud beginning this month, the
retail coal merchants of Philadelphia will
charge ten cents more for each ton
sold for domestic purposes and five cents
a ton more for steam coal.
This is striking illustration of the
way that taxes are swiftly shifted from
the shoulders of those best able to bear
them to the shoulders of those least able.
But this is an old story with taxes. The
peculiar feature about the anthracite tax
is that not only will the people of Penn
sylvania pay it, but also the consumers
of anthracite in other states, Pennsyl-
vania producing the bulk of this coal
mined. The taxpayers of Ohio, Michi-
gan, Illinois and other states are made,
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1913-08-15

by this act, taxpayers of Pennsylvania.
The tax is, in effect, an export tax.
We cannot see that there is any way to
prevent Pennsylvania exacting its five
cent tribute. Pressure is being brought
to persuade the state to repeal it. But
even if the tax is repealed, probably
other states, ever on the lookout for new
sources of revenue, will try the same
trick upon their resources. We are
likely to see a horde of export taxes of
this breed within the next half-dozen
years.

Prosperity For One Is
Prosperity For All
BY HOLLAND.

UF you are farmer the val
4 ue of your farm depends
on the value Of the adjoining
farm, and the value of both
depends on the value OF prop
erty in the nearest village or
town. Farms near prosper
ous towns are always more
valuable than those near
dead or dying settlements
And this is true without re-
gard TO the fertility of the
soil.
The farmer depends ON the
town just as the town de-
pends for prosperity on the
farmer. Their deshnles are
interlinked; their interests are .
common. What hurts one
hurts the other, Poor crops
win affect the city resident
who does not even raise rad
ishes, and depressed business
affairs affect the farmer who
depends on soil, weather and
muscle for his living,
Money sent TO mail order
houses helps TO turn thriving
towns into dead hamlets. II
thereby depreciatcs the value
of farm land. II decreases
the population of the towns
that most directly use the
products Of the farm. II low
ers the price for butter and
eggs. for chickens and for
fruits and vegetables.
So, MIR. Farmer, If you deal
with n mail order house in
distant city you are taking n
course that takes from the
value of your farm, that rem
ders II less desirable as n
place Of residence and less
productive of profit. You can't
follow a system that Injuries
your neighbors without being
compelled to shoulder some Of
the expense yourself Take
the safer course and
