COST OF WARNES LAW
Deceptive Figures Given Out by
State Tax Commission

"The Ohio state commissions com
parison Saturday of quadrennial ap-
praisement figures for 1910 with the
Warnes law figures for 1914 is a
brazen attempt at deception" said
Chairman Edwin Jones of the Repub-
lican state executive committee. "The
tax commission convicts the Warnes
law. of tremendous extravaganza by
its own admissions.
mo such general reappraisement
of real estate was made in 1914 as
made In 1910, and every taxpayer
knows it. In 1910 special appraisers
were selected who gave weeks and
months of time to plating and com
pletely r~eadjusting the real estate
valuations of the state. In addition,
the regular personal property asses
sors did their work in the various
taxing districts.
"In 1914 nothing was made but a
reassessment of personal property
just as was done in 1912 or 1913. 1t
can not be compared with the work
done by the real estate appraisers in
1910.
1.-The tax commission would have
the taxpayers believe that it is saw
ing money by comparing assessment
figures of 1914 with the total cost of
both assessment and appraisement
for 1910. Such a comparison is pure
deception.
"The only true basis of comparison
Is with the figures for 1912 or 1913.
The tax commission of Ohio advises
that it does not have available the
cost for 1913, but it does for 1912,
and there is probably little differ
ence. In 1912, according to the tax
commissions w figures, the total
cost of assessment in the state was
$500, 1881!
Gin the commissions own state
ment, the cost for 1914 is given as
81, O29, 239, or an increase of $432,-
558-almost half a million dollars
over the cost in 1912. OF this $241,-'
500 went to pay the newly created
deputy tax assessors-powerful cogs
in the Cox machine; an average of
$2,511.37 per county.
What justification is there for this
tremendous difference in expense if
the Warnes law is so beneficent in
it's results? Why is it necessary to
resort to deception in an attempt to
justify it before the people?

LOSS OF LIFE EXCEEDS
1000 IN MARINE WRECK

The confusion as to the number OF
persons who persisted in the Empress
of Ireland disaster last week has been
one of the distressing features of the
tragedy, and the uncertainty was
further emphasized when figures, de-
clared by the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Steamship company to be official
raised the death list to 1924 from 969
on Sunday Nights more.
Last Friday the company stated at
its Montreal office that the Empress
of Ireland carried 1897 persons. 1t
was upon that figure that the list of
Survivors and missing was based
However. the company asserted that
the Empress carried 1476 passen-
gers, officers and crew, or an addi-
ton of 50. As partial Offset. the
figures giving the number of rescued
were raised by 36--4 from the first
cabin, 3 from the second cabin and
steerage. and 80 officers and crew. A
discrepancy Of 2 in these figures was
not explained by the company.

II COUNTY FAIR.

Through the efforts of some of the
business men of the district a meet
ing of citizens was called this week
to consider the feasibility of form
ing an association to be known as
the White Pine County Fair Associa-
ton. The meeting was of a most
encouraging nature to those who had
formulated the idea and made the
suggestion and the movement prom
ises to become a ucces and termin-
ate in the organization of permanent
association which will make for the
bettermant of conditions in the
county.
Not only is White Pine County
large in area but rich in resources,
though few know its varied resources
and possibilities. An annual meet
ing of those interested in its deyel-
opment will tend to do more for its
advancement than would at first ap-
pear, and it is hoped that the move
ment will receive the encouragement
and hearty cooperation of every
citizen of the community.

NEW HAVEN CONDITIONS.
(By B. C. Forbes.)

Ii isn't worth it,.
That was the conviction burned
into me me as | sat day after day and
listened to the story told by Charles
S. Mellen-a story of bribery and
corruption, of engineering new laws
and violating old ones, of crooked
deals whereby crooked politicians
were purchased by the dollars of
the guiltless stockholders of prayers
from the hills inspired and paid for
by the New Ravens titular head, of
readiness to commission the devil
himself in order to procure results.
No. if such things be necessary to
attain results then thee results are
not worth attaining.
Honesty is worth more than dis
honesty "success"-which cannot
permanently remain success.
One of Americas best known finan-
ciers. very close to the late J. P.
Morgan. said to me when | told him
the impression Mellen's testimony
produced upon those who heard it
and. apparently, also upon the coun-
try as a whole:
Yes, but there is another side to
the story. a very different one."
Then it should be told at once
/ replied, for ugly sentiment is
brewing. When | returned from
Washington a squad of workmen
surrounded me and uttered impreca-
tions and threats that were not
pleasant to hear or ponder"
You are right" he said very
seriously. The other side should be
told. Mr.. Ledyard went TO Wash
ingtoD to tell it. Didn't he offer to
tell 1t regardless of immunity? And
didn't the commission refuse to listen
to him? The commission, by such
conduct, may start a stronger fire
than it intends-stronger. maybe.
than 1t will be able t o put out"
That phase of the situation may
well occasion serious thought in view
of the interstate commerce commits

Through dishonesty, that those High
Financiers who have INDUCED In

The exodus to Europe has begun
even as Mellen predicted in a private
footnote to a letter years ago. Here

And you must have noticed how
many New Haven officials and direc-
tors or ex-directors are SO sick that
they cannot journey to Washington
and tell the truth under oath.

over their misdeeds.

rimans, men of stupendous fortunes

done on a much larger scale by and

may be comparatively small. the ag-
gregate. it would seem to me, may in
many instances make multi-million-
aires of not a few.
But this, along with the value or
danger of plutocrats to a nation, is
subject matter for another article.
Meanwhile recent, current and
prospective events demonstrate, as
with fire, that dishonesty is. in the
