BY THEIR FRIENDS


YE SHALL KNOW THEM
1t might be well even at this early
date for the toilers, who make up a
majority of the voters of Ohio, to
take stock of what will happen If
either David Tod or Frank B. Willis
is placed in the chair of the governors
Office Under the regime Of either of
these two the man who labors with
his hands in mill or mine or factory
will have what the boys jauntily call
"a fat chance"
From both may be expected loud
protestations Of friendship for the
toilers. Hgh.sounding words unfor-
tunately are belied by performances.
While honeyed promises are being
made there are backstairs alliances
that bode no good to the toilers.
For instance, here is David Tod,
who is already tied fast to liability in
surance companies, longing to restore
the days Of starvation settlements
with injured workmen while they
grow fat from large premiums from
industries that want protection in in.
dustrial accidents. Workmen's COM
pensation will be in danger under Tod
as Governor.
Again, there is Frank b. Willis, in
close alliance with former Senator
Joseph Benson Foraker, whose skill in
! the legislative arena was placed be-
hind the fifty-year franchise for Gin
cinnati. Read in the light of the
| Foraker alliance what a pail Is cast
over the protestations of Willis that
he longs to take the workmen to his
bosom! Packed into u fifty-year fran
chise street car riding for five cents,
the Cincinnati workman must reflect
upon this topic in the days that are
to come before he goes to the polls to
vote
Again the bleeding these two dis
tinguished patriots do for the farmers
must cause the tillers of the soil won
der and surprise Mr. Tod's principal
backer and sponsor, Daniel II. Hanna
weeps, weeps sadly, as he reflects that
the days when the tax burden can be
shifted upon the backs of the farmers
are gone to return no more-till his
favorlte shall be in the governors
chair and have the Warnes law re
pealed,
AS for Mr.. Willis 1t may be recalled
that the oleomargarine fight agains

UNIQUE LEGISLATIVE RECORD
columbus Journal, Rep)

columbus Journal Rep.)
The Ohio General Assembly estab-
lished unique record in legislation
yesterday. Some other legislature in
the past may have met, accomplished
the purpose of it's session and adj
journed in single day, but we do not
believe it ever happened before that
the purpose SO accomplished was the
reduction, not the increase, of the tax
levy.
The state tax levy is reduced by
yesterdays action from .961 mills to
AS mills. Governor Cox estimates
that this means decrease Of $4,000
600 year in the taxpayers burden.
Four million dollars of the taxpayers
money is worth saving, but the i'm
portant things to remember in connec-
ton with yesterdays session are that
the state administration has made
good its promise to reduce the state
levy and that it has set an example
WulCn anu uOuDtiCSp WIZ bO IVA
lowed by local taxing authorities
throughout Ohio.
The Warnes law has justified itself
by its results. 1t has brought out mil
lions of hidden property and already
has put taxation in Ohio on fairer
more honest basis than many of its
friends dared to hope for in the first
year Of its operation. Some opponents
of Governor Cox and his administra
| tion still oppose his record on taxa
tion reform. We do not think it viii
prove very profitable to them to fight
man on the ground that he made the
rich tax-dodger pay up and lessenet
the tax burden of the average man
who is honest.

why WEAK LUNGS?

The toll OF tuberculosis is claiming
more than $50 victims every day in the
United States, yet few realize their grave
condition until the critical period arrives.
Overwork, worry, weakness after sick
ness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender throats---
all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.
To guard against consumption, thou
sands OF people take Scott $ Emulsion after
meals because its rich medicinal nourish-
ment strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in
the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist
tuberculosis. Scott Emulsion is nature 6

ing some political gain out of it. The
banker in Fort Wayne who refused to
answer the inquiries of the Protective
Tariff League and told the league
what he thought of its efforts was a
patriotic who was trying to make busi-
ness better, while the League is open
ly trying to make it worse in the hope
of changing some votes in November.
1t might as well save it's efforts. A
Republican House could not change
the tariff.

LEGISLATURES QUICK ACTION

The Ohio legislature made quick
response to Gov CoX's proposition Tor
a reduction of the state tax levy, and
remained In session until the work
was accomplished, making remark
able record for speedy action. The
reduction In the state levy aggregates
a cut Of over one-half and in dollars
will effect a saving of over $4,OOO,OOO
to the taxpayers of Ohio. The Warnes
law has been so effective in bringing
out the hidden wealth Of the million
aire tax dodgers as to Increase the
duplicate to such an extent that the
reduction in the tax rate could be
made. 1t was the sensible and proper
thing to do, and Gov. Cox will be com
mended by all right thinking people
In bringing about the reduction. Oi
course there are captious critics and
hungry Standpat Republican politi
clans who will profess not to be salts
fed and even find fault with Gov. Cox
but they are few in number and theii
walls are recognized by the large body
of people as puerile and prompted by
Interior motives. The people know

came focused on a background of soft

Captain Dalton placed a sheet over
the window, thereby shutting out the
