TURNER JOINS FORAKER

Strange and portentlous combina
tiOns among Republican politicians
have resulted from the announcement
that Secretary of State Charles II.
Graves expects to enforce the primary
election laws that prohibit individuals
from voting in party primaries when
they are not members of the party in
which they seek to vote. The last Is
the close alliance between Prosecut-
ing Attorney Edward G. Turner and
former Senator Joseph Benson Forak-
er.
When three years ago Turner, then
clear-eyed young man, stood at the
side of Attorney General Timothy s..
Hogan and aided to the best of his
ability the states prosecution against
corruption in the general assembly,
few men thought it possible that greed
for higher office could have resulted in
leading him into course In which he
would suggest disregard Of penal stat
utes. That such advise should come
from man who took oath to enforce
the laws by criminal prosecutions has
amazed those who admired his course
three years ago no less than the un.
Outstanding that seems to exist be-
tween Turner and Foraker.
The latest developments have made
the Democrats doubly anxious that
Turner be nominated on the Repub-
lcan ticket for attorney general, be-
lieving that his persecution of Demo
Gratis for alleged technical violations
Of the civil service law when placed
in contrast with his open counsel to
others to ignore felony statutes will
form a strong issue during the cam
paign.
Because the statute may not in the
present instance work to the advan-
tage OF the Republican party, Mr..
Turner is understood to urge that 1t
be ignored. Even though he may be
called upon to prosecute those who
violate il, he is already advising that
he has set the law aside. The attitude
OF MIR. Turner raises the question OF
what he viii do when party policy sug-
gests that he abstain from a criminal
prosecution in the remote contingency
OF his elevation to the position to at
tain which he Is willing to trample
upon the very laws he swore to uphold,

WATERLOGGED

With a care free air Admiral Har-
ry Daugherty, commander of the Re-
publican ship of state, rang full speed
ahead, after he had seen Daniel
Rhodes Hanna put his official approval
on the candidates. of Warren Harding
for Senator and David Tod for COVER
nor.
But the signal brought no response.
Somewhere, down deep in the vessel,
the signal was lost, the machinery
wrong or the jinx was on the cruiser.
The signal was set at full speed ahead,
but the old battleship, once trim and
seaworthy, failed to respond.
There have been few political devel-
opments in Ohio in recent years more
striking than the utter failure of the
people to rally to these candidates
They can't get under way. The voters
show no attention, no interest, no ac-
tivity.
There is plenty of anti-Foraker sen.
timent but 1t is not gathering about
Harding. There is opposition in the
state to Frank Willis for governor,
but it is not gathering behind Tod.
With the political genius of Harry
Daugherty and the vast war chest of
Dan Hanna these candidates can't get
their booms inflated and their cam
paigns under way.
The voters of the state are not rush
ing to the support of the Republican
candidates. They remember the treas
ury graft scandals, the state printery
scandals. 1t is a significant object
lesson that is being brought home to
the Republican leaders, who once lead.
The forces rally to their call no more.
The Republican ship of state, weighted
with barnacles, waterlogged, unkempt,
is utterly unable to get under way,

Ohio have made honest returns, they
need not care whether Governor Cox
has secured these lists or not. Let
this matter be perfectly plain. Every
thing that is clean and decent in Wall
street wants to obey the law and pay
its taxes. People who evade their
taxes and complain if they are found
out need not apply to the Wall Street
Journal for defense. If they are con-
stitutionally wronged they have their
constitutional remedy; and if they do
not like the government of the state
they are living in they can take their
capital elsewhere"

WORKING OF THE LAW

In view of the announcement of the
city taxdodgers that the new tax law
is an enemy of farmers and home own
ers, It is interesting to note that in one
day the district assessors called 100
citizens of Cincinnati before them and
obtained S5O0,0O0 of stocks in foreign
corporations for the tax duplicate.
These men had all made returns prev
iously, but had neglected to list this
stock.
Here is some correspondence which
will throw some more light upon the
truth or falsity of the standpatters'
charge that the Warnes law Is aimed
at the people of moderate means. An
Elyria, Ohio, lawyer wrote the follow.
ing letter to The Wall Street Journal {:
"Your publication will be interested
to know that Governor Cox of this
state has in some manner secured for
all the county taxation boards of Ohio
complete list of the stockholders OF
the United States Steel corporation
both common and preferred, and those
of the New York Central. 1t is ru
mored also that he has obtained lists
of stockholders of the different branch
es of the former Standard Oil Co.

men are being called before the tax
board, are confronted with the records
of the company, and then forced to
pay taxes upon the stock"
Here is what the Wall Street Jour.
nal says in reply:
"If Governor Cox of Ohio has Sc
cured the names of the stockholders
of any corporation, it is credit to his
enterprise, and he deserves an engage
ment on the best newspaper in Ohio, al

but he realizes that publicity Is the

else. 1t believes that unjust taxation
