JUST ANOTHER ONE

THE commissioners Of Clermont
county have been forced to borrow
$4,000 to provide for the extra ex-
pense Of the District Assessor"
John w. Lennin, the Clermont coun-
" district assessor, promptly nailed
this falsehood to the masthead with
flgures that are indisputable. His ex-
pense to date, including the extraor-
dinary payments for eQuipping his of
fee with furniture, total just $5,1S4.41.
II the Warnes law had not been passed
there would have been expended this
year at this time $4,000 for compen-
sation of deputy assessors alone in
that county, Other expenses in con
lection with the quadrennial appraise-
ment OF real estate would have added
q thousand or two So there has been
a saving of several thousand dollars in
that county under the new system.
II il had not been for the Warnes
law, the commissioners of Clermont
county would have been forced to bor-
row eight or nine thousand dollars.
The tax question had nothing to do
with the borrowing of the $4,000 this
year. Under the Smith law limita-
tions the commissioners have not been
able TO levy sufficient money to pay
operating expenses and toward the
close OF each year they usually Dor.
row money TO pay deficits and antici
pate the next collection of taxes.
The tactics OF the standpatters in
this case is typical of their efforts
throughout the commonwealth. False
figures are being put out to show the
Warnes law is increasing tax expens.
IS, whereas the reverse is true, In
every county this new tax system will
save money for the property owners.

TAX DoDelNe STOPPED

The knell of the tax dodger in Ohio
mas been sounded. The day when he
flourished and waxed rich at the ex'
pense of his neighbors is past. The
Warnes law has got him. Without ex'
ception, reports from the counties
show increases in the number OF tax
payers.
1t is reported that the number in
Hamilton county will be doubled
About 10000 persons paid taxes in Gin
cinnau last year, while in 1914 a total
OF 10000 will walk up to the county
treasurer's window and pay. Colum'
bus will have 10000 new taxpayers.
Six of the smaller counties have re-
ported an increase of 5000 taxpayers.
Here is the way taxing authorities
sum up conditions in the past;
"The case for high taxes for some
and no taxes for many-too many, in
facts that a great many property
owners never made returns. The list
ing OF those who have not been on the
duplicate should bring lower taxes for
those who have been paying"

tion has placed on the statute books of
Ohio, attempt to arouse prejudice
against the law.
Take another case. Some time ago
a workman in a shop in Mt Vernon
sustained broken arm in an accident.
In the blanks that were filed out by
the two physicians who examined him,
one of the physicians stated that the
workman should be able to return to
work in four weeks and the other
physician stated that the time would
probably be eight weeks. This work
man received compensation from the
state, at two-thirds of his weekly wag-
es, for a period of eleven weeks. He
was not satisfied because he had not
been kept on the payroll for a longer
period, and at his own instance went
to Columbus and was examined by the
physicians in the claims department
of the state industrial commission, and
the result of their examination was
that they certified that he was in a
condition to return to work, hence his
compensation from the state was dis
continued. He was treated in the most
eminently fair manner and with the
greatest consideration by those in
charge of executing the law. If it had
not been for the workman's compensa.
ton law, how much money would this
workman have received during dis
ability, and from whom would he have
received it? Doubtless nothing, If he
had been compelled to settle with a
liability insurance company or gone
into court.
While there are occasionally isolat-
ed cases, where some injured work
man is not satisfied because he is not
permitted to execute the law himself
and remain on the payroll of the
state as long as he wants to, yet the
innumerable workmen who are benefit
ted by the law are thoroughly salts
fled and want to see it executed with
out favoritism, and honestly executed.
II 1t were not so executed 1t would be
failure, and this is what the liability
insurance companies, who are financ-
ing the fight against the Cox admins
alton, would like to see result, and
they find willing allies in the Reac-
Iionary Republican press in a cam.
paign of falsehood and misrepresenta.
tion. All honest workmen will re-
sent The organized effort that is go
ing on for the repeal of the workmens
compensation law.

MAY CAUSE SPLIT
IN THE THIRD PARTY
Proposal That Republicans and
PrOgiesslveS Name 7. R.

Washington, June 23,-Statements
made by leaders of the Progressive
party indicate the probability Of a
split in that party over the proposals
that the Republicans and the third
party nominate Theodore Roosevelt as
their candidate in 1916. Such men as
Representative Murdock OF Kansas,
Bull Moose leader in the house, are
opposed to the plan of a dual nomina-
tion. They fear such a nomination
might lead to a total eclipse OF the
third party.
Representative Stafford Of Wiscon-
sin, one of the few Republican regu-
lars who has discussed the subject
for publication, said; In my opinion
there is no question but what Mr..
Roosevelt will be the candidate for
the presidential nomination. AS
view the future, there will be strong
sentiment in the Republican party ia
vorable to his nomination"
Chairman Hinebaugh Of the Pro
gressive congressional committee
said; "lf Colonel Roosevelt lives ne
will be nominated for president by the
Progressives in 1916. If the progress
sive element in the Republican party
obtains control, Roosevelt will be
nominated by the Republican party"
Representative Temple. Progressive.
OF Pennsylvania, said Il do not think
there is any prospect that the Pro.
gressive party in 1916 will abandon
