Commissions Recommendations.

The recommendations Of this com
mittee were four in number. They
were, first, a change in the admins
tration of the tax laws, by providing
better assessing machinery; second,
the equalization Of taxation and in
crease Of revenue by laying taxes on
business, with an especial view to
reaching intangible property and cor
porations and enterprises whose abil-
lty to contribute to the expenses Of
the government can not be justly
measured by tax on their property;
third, the repeal of the tax inquisitor
law, and fourth, rigid economy in
public expenditures.
"The Mckinley report runs on:
Experience teaches that the most ef-
fectlve way of securing just assess
ments is to place the assessing ma
cLtnery in the hands Of capable, dis
Interested and Independent agencies,
independent in the sense Of being re-
moved from the influence Of popular
favor or displeasure, whose compen-
sation and term Of service will Justify
them in giving, If necessary, their en-
tire time to the work They then
recommended the appointment of as.
SCISSORS.
"They made the further recommen-
dation that a state tax board be Gre
ated. That has been done. And it is
known perfectly well how successful
ly it has met the responsibilities
which were placed upon it, and how
fully the wisdom Of that scheme has
been justified by results.
Warnes Law Buttressed.
"The Warnes law passed is in al
most precise form the bill recon-
mended by the commission of William
Mckinley. The Warnes law is in al
most precise form the bill recon-
mended by Governor Harmon, known
as the Edwards bill So that we have
our opinion with reference to the wis
dom AMI equity of this law supple
mented and buttressed by the jUdg-
ment of William Mckinley and Jud
son Harmon. Opposition is always
encountered by manifestly right
eous law; you men so soon as you un-
dertake the administration of this
measure will hear some criticism in
your counties But you will find upon
inquiry that the fellow with sore
thumb can make ten times more noise
than ten score of people going about
their wayE satisfied with the admins
tration of this law. God Almighty
has planted in you a conscience, and
let that conscience be your compass.
Administer this law with courage, in.
tegrity assumed, having 1t tempered
always with a full measure Of COM
mon sense.

Speaking to the 1O2 county tax as
SCISSORS recently appointed under the
Warnes tax law, who assembled in
the house Of representatives Thurs
day in Columbus, Governor Cox said:
Il recognize the importance of the
people Of the communities of this
state, understanding fully the policy
that underlies the spirit and admins
tration of this law. 1t is perfectly
easy to comprehend Just what was
in the mind Of the lawmaking body
Of this state in framing the measure,
and what is in the purpose Of the ex-
ecutive department, through the gov-
ernor and the tax commission.
Il want to present to you my OBJ
servations under three cIassifcations;
first, the general policy; second, the
matter Of efficiency; and third, the
economy which should be effected.
"A few weeks ago there was insti-
tuted in this state the administration
of the liquor license law. l recall in
this connection perfectly we'll the
joint hearing participated in in this
room by members of the house and

Suggestions For Work.
"You will find it perfectly easy to
Increase the valuations in these coun-
| ties. The tax commission this morn
! ing at my request, gave to me a little
| slip of paper which tells the story.
In Cuyahoga county is located one OF
the largest cities of the world, the
sixth city in population, and regard,
less Of the fact that the municipal
government is in the competent hands
Of men whose fitness and integrity
have never been questioned, the city
is bankrupt. Why? Because her tax
duplicate ought to be increased $780,
100000 at least on intangible prop
Srty.
In Hamilton county (and the same
fiscal condition existing in Cleveland
must be met in Cincinnati, that city
having been compelled to submit bond
issues for the approval of the people;
that city, too, faces financial embar-
rassment which will tax the genius Of
the municipal officers) in 1909 the
amount of moneys returned for taxa
ton was $1,054 1888; In 1911, under the
operation OF the 1 per cent law, this
increased to S1,517,1 ,113. In Cuyahoga
-
ed in 1909 was $1,466,200. This in
creased in 1911 to $3,771,429. In com
parison with these two large counties
in the state, it is found that Belmont
county, for the year 1909 returned
81 ,484,9 ,939, or almost so per cent more
than Hamilton county, and somewha
more than Cuyahoga county. In But
ler county the return of moneys In
1909 was practically equal to that In
Hamilton county, and the duplicate in
Hamilton county ought to be 10 times
what it is in Butler county. In Fair
field county it was practically equal
to Hamilton county. DaTke county,
community of farmers, returned $780,
900 in excess of Hamilton county. In
Licking county the amount was in ex'
cess of the amount in Hamilton coun.
ty. In Muskingum county the amount
returned was practically 100000 in
excess of Hamilton county. In Stark
county the return was more than
double that of Hamilton county, and
80 per cent more than Cuyahoga coun
ty. In Wayne, Pickaway and Medina
counties the returns were practically
equal to those in Hamilton county. In
Tuscarawas the return was greater
by more than 100000 than in Hamil-
ton county. When we speak of per
sonal property, we have in mind par
ticularly intangible property and not
household goods. hope Ohio will
work to the plan Of exempting house
hold effects from taxation entirely.

as men whether there is anything
more fundamentally just than
ths-that every man in this state
should pay sum for the support
of his government proportioned
to the benefits which he receives
under the government. That, in
very few words, Is the underlying
thought which has induced this
law.
"The report speaks Of the farmers
bearing more than their share of tax
alton. You men, coming from the
rural communities, know that the
farmers are a little bit touchy about
tax law. They were up in arms
when the Smith 1 per cent tax law
was passed, and now they regard it
with almost sacred favor They have
their misgivings now as to whether
or not this measure will work out
well. And I can understand just ex-
actly what is in their minds and In
duces this perfectly honest and sin
