by a few votes, EX-Judge Norris and
Attorney Charles L. Justice, of Marion,
were in Columbus last week and pre-
sented to the governor the strong points
of the Schofeld candidacy. Common
Pleas Judge Hugh 7. Mathers, of Sidney,
is recognized as one of the great jurists
of the state, and his good qualities have
been brought to the notice of Governor
Cox. Judge Mathers is well known in
Ottawa court circles, as he frequently
holds court at this place. Letters have
been sent from Putnam county asking
for Mathers appointment, which will be
made some time in August.

In speaking of the available candidates
for chief justice of Ohio, showing their
good points as candidates, Put Sandles'
Putnam County Sentinel concludes the
editorial boost for the candidates in this
manner:
'Judge Mathers is well known in Otta-
wa court circles, as he frequently holds
court at this place. Letters have been
sent from Putnam County asking for
Mathers' appointment, which will be
made some time i'm August"
This conclusion reminds us of the
Dutch Judge who, after hearing the case
before him, said he would withhold his
decision, but would eventually decide in
favor of the plaintiff. We hope the Sen
tine1 reads the governor S mind correctly,
for no one would fill the place more ably
or completely than Judge Mathers.

The significance of the foregoing, COM
ing from one of the oldest and most in
fluential newspapers in the United States,
will set many people to thinking, a
thing devoutly to be wished. The North
American, besides boldly declaring its
own sympathy with the single tax move
ment, shows how the steadily increasing
number of similar expressions indicates
increasing popular interest.

erty classification. They specifically pro
hibited il In the taxation amendment; by
a provision In the direct legislation
amendment they forbade the use Of the
initiative process to secure it.
Gov. Cox, who was quoted some weeks
ago as favoring a new amendment to
allow classification for taxation, now
supplements his suggestion by declaring
that alongwith such a provision he would
have written into the constitution def
mite limitation on the ratS applicable to
real estate, thus putting il "out OF the
reach of general assemblies" SO far as
remembered, this is new classification
discussed in this state. If indorsed by
the opponents of uniformity it might be
a material assistance in securing the de-
sired change.
Both changes should be-made as soon
as practicable. Both provisions, against
which the Plain Dealer protested year
ago, are seen now for what they are
pieces of folly that should not have been
adopted.

Ohio farmers, according to hundreds
of letters being received at Governor
Cox's office, will oppose any effort to
have the agricultural law set aside by a
referendum vote. There are some far
mers who do not like the measure in its
entirety but the defects, they claim, can
be cured by amendments to the law at
the next session.

ing in this country. Thousands of fol-
lowers hocked to the standard of the
leader who proposed to abolished poverty
by imposing confscatory tax on those
who controlled the source of all riches,
the land. Henry George made some
notable converts. Through them his in
huence was exerted on public events and
policies. Governor Pingree of Michigan;
Tom Johnson, of Cleveland; Golden
Rule" Jones, of Toledo were among
those whose work for human betterment
stamped them as men of large vision and
deep sincerity The Rev. DR.. McGlynn,
a famous Catholic priest, of New York
came out in impassioned advocacy of the
George doctrine, and was deposed by his
archbishop. Doctor McGlynn refused to
recant, held to his ground that the George
doctrine was not contrary to either faith
or morals, engaged in a bitter attack on
the prelate who had unfrocked him, and
so stirred the Catholic Church that the
Vatican appointed papal ablegate to
come to the United States, establishing
new relations between Rome and the
church in this country The upshot of
it was that Doctor McGlynn was restored
to his priestly functions, and continued
a single taxer and a priest in good stand
ing to the end of his days.
Henry George dropped dead the day
before an election that would probably
have made him mayor of New York. The
fame he had lighted burned low but was
kept alive for years by few devoted
souls-by those and the growing inequi-
ties of social conditions due to what the
single takers called the land monopoly.

The world refused to accept the confs-
catory part of the doctrine of the single
takers But it is inevitable that that
which is sound in the George teachings
will be put to use The public is COM
ing to understand that the community is
entitled to some share in the values
which it creates.
There is a growing realization of the
gross injustice of virtually exenpting
idle land from taxation, while heavy ex-
actions are laid ON the owner who makes
his land productive. 1t was this feeling
that was BACK of the budget agitation in
England few years ago. The people
saw vast areas held for the private pleas
ure of the dukes virtually exempt
from taxes, while adjoining areas of only
one-hundredth the extent were taxed
many times as much because they were
used as industrial sites and provided
means of livelihood to the people
Out of the George doctrines, then, has
come a realization of the fact that, as
subjects of taxation land values should
be regarded entirely apart from the i'm
provements on the land The old theory
of real estate was that the land and every
immovable thing OH it were one.
We know now that this isn't true, that
land is the creation of God, that improve.
ments put on the land are the creation
of man Whatever tax is levied on it
cannot be just tax unless there is frs It
an honest assessment. No real estate is
sessment is honest unless the value of
the land is a distinct item from the salue
of the buildings
New York, Cleveland and other cities,
discovered this truth some time ago.
And it filled their treasures. Such a
dual assessment, one which would hon-
estly fix the value of each piece of land
in Philadelphia, would solve all the f.
nancial difficulties Of this city over
night.

1t was the George theory to tax such
land so heavily that no one could afford
to hold it in idleness, but would have to
turn it over to those who would make 1t
productive. Primarily, Henry George
designed the single tax as a confscatory
measure, virtually socializing the use of
all land. 1t was a public revenue meas
ure only incidently.

The wholesale carrying Of liquor into

street by prospective diners. which the
police say has been in vogue, has been
ordered stopped by instructions of DO
lice chief ]. n. Davis
The complaint is that beer and Whis-
ky, purchased earlier in the night, was

were over and the saloons closed the
liquor would be carried to one of these
restaurants. There, it is said, the pur-
chasers, men and women. under pre-
tense of eating. would assemble and
drink until the early hours of the
morning. The police say that the
booths in some Chinese restaurants
have been made the same use of as the
rooms of the road houses, and this must
be stopped.
Where the liquor is not carried in,
but is ordered from the saloons by per-
sons occupying booths. the ordering
must cease at $3.50 o'clock at night,
the hour that the saloons close.
