REDUCE THE RATE.

REDUCE THE RATE.
The proposal TO reduce the tax rate
meets with the approval of every
property owner in Ohio The in
creased tax duplicate jusrifies the
belief that the levy can be cut without
damage to the funds of the state or
injury to its various departments.
1t is estimated that the tax duplicate
under the new Warnes law has been
increased by $1,000. 100000. The re-
turns from many of the counties of the
state indicate that this law will bring
the record tax duplicate in Ohio and
that the people Of the state will pay
upon more property than ever before
in it's history.
The only way in which the people Of
Ohio can benefit from this vastly in
creased tax duplicate is from the re
duction of the tax rate. 1t may be
argued that the increased funds in the
public treasury will warrant many
improvements. the extension of public
works and the furthering OF plans for
public. good. Under ideal conditions
this would be true, but under existing
conditions, the tendency to employ
faithful political workers in pubic
positions would be too strong to be
resisted. Increased taxation to raise
UP a horde of Office holders endangers
the welfare OF any political organlza-
ton and il is certain that nothing but
evil could result if this increased
duplicate was not met by decided
cut in the tax rate.
It's supporters have heralded the
WarneS tax law as a panace2 Tor taxa
ton ills it has been claimed that IL
would force all persons to give up
their property for taxation. and that
the burden upon the honest property
holders would then be reduced. Inc
Warnes law has brought forth the
increased returns and the larger tax
duplicate, and now il IS UP 10 the
60 characterization 10 reduce the
rate That is one question upon which
ALI persons agree no matter what
their politics may be---Sprlngheld

JOY riders from Burr Oak, &c, were
humming thru on our streets Sunday.

If you are asking us. we preserve a
