Newark Advocated


Sunday was sad birthday ami

were believed to be perhaps the oldest
living twins in the United States.
They were born near Martinsburg,
Knox county, Feb. %, 1884. 1t was
their annual custom to observe their
birthday anniversary together, with
other members of the family gathered

them discuss the happenings of years
long gone by.
The surviving brother who observed
the passing of his eightieth year, Sun.

In WaraeS Law On Date OF
Listing
Does Not Impair Validity Of
The Measure
And Rockefeller Can Not
Escape Paying Taxes
columbus Dispatch)

The amendment made to the
Warnes law In the closing hours of
the special legislative session, chang
ing the time for the listing of personal
property for taxation from the first
Monday In February to the first Mon
day in April, in no wise impaired the
validity or purpose Of the act.
This change will not go into active
effect until next year and so personal
property must be listed for taxation
this year as of the first Monday in
February. John d. Rockefeller, the
Gil magnate, cannot escape payment Of
personal taxes.
This ruling was made by Attorney
General Hogan and was cOncured in
by his. entire force Monday morning,
| at hearing at which John ID. Fackler,
| district tax assessor for Cuyahoga
county, presented his reasons for a
belief that the amendment made TO
the law was defective and imperilled
the right of the state to collect per-
sonal property taxes.
Every contention OF Mr. Fackler
that the law was defective was over
ruled by the attorney general and his
force. A. B. Peckinpaugh, of the state
tax commission, who was present at
the hearing gave it as his opinion that
the ruling of the attorney general was
correct.
The Warnes law provided that per
sonal property taxes should be listed
on the first Monday In February in
stead OF the FIRST Monday In April as
heretofore. Farmers complained that
as February found them in possession
Of their winter feed TO be used for the
fattening Of spring stock, it would
work hardship on them unless the
date was changed hack to April
Governor Cox sent mesaage to the
general assembly, asking for this and
On February i6, Representative Etline
of Wayne county, introduced bill
changing the time for listing OF per
sonal property hack to the April date
General Hogan held that as the time
fixed in the Warnes law for the listing
OF the property namely, the first Mon
day in February. had been passed
when the ntling amendment was
adopted that the amendment was
prospective and not retroactive, ant

A Brick At The RGaCtiOnary
Republicans
On Eve Of peace And
Harmony Banquet
Congressman FGSs Says
Compromise Talk Is Folly

Congressman s. d, Fess, of Yellow
Springs, who has. been repeatedly
mentioned as a possible candidate for
governor on the Republican ticket,
hurled broadside from Washington,
Monday, into the camp of the old line
Republicans. He declared that it was
folly to talk of compromising with
men like Barnes and Penrose and that
until they and all Of their class were
eliminated there would be no real
get-together.
The Fess declaration was q sort of
wet blanket proposition for Harry M.
Daugherty and other old line Republi-
cans who are promoting the Republi-
can peace and harmony banquet
scheduled for Memorial hall next
Thursday afternoon. 1t gives intima-
ton that the progressive element
among the Republicans may follow up
the Fess slogan and begin an elimina-
ton contest. The following are
among the things which Congressman
Fess said;
"The insistence of men like PEN
rose, William Barnes and others, who
preclpitated the convention row at
Chicago, that they be permitted to re-
tain their old positions in the party
and in public life is a challenge to
the rank and file of the party that
will make healing of the breach i'm
possible at present. Had these men
the good of the party at heart they
would withdraw and permit men in
sympathy with the awakened con-
science of the public to work for a
reunited party
These men profess to believe that
the Chicago convention of 1912 Is for
gotten; that the sores that grew out
OF the bitter controversy have healed;
that the rank and file of the Republi
cans of the nation are ready to begin
again under the old leadership, but the
fact is that the Republican voter has
not forgotten and will not forgive, as
long as these men exercise domina
tion in the party
IAN talk of compromise with these
elements is worse than folly. There
is no room for compromise, The only
thing left for the progressive element
to do is to continue to fight these men
to work for absolute control of thu
party and to advance their own can
didates wherever the reactionary ele
ment seeks RECOGNITION at the polls O.
in the primaries.

London, Feb. 24-The appointment
of Henry w. Thornton Of the Long
Island Railway as general superintend-
ent of the Great Eastern Railway
Company continues to be the subject
of comment by the newspapers and
those interested in railway affairs.
"Great Britain has not in many
years had such a shock to her pride
as that experienced by the announce
ment of the appointment Of Mr..
Thornton" says The Sunday Observer
prefacing couple of columns of
opinions which are to tho effect that
something must be wrong with the
system of promotion in British rail
ways.
George J. WardIe, M. p, editor of
The Railway Review, says that II the
statement of Lord Claud Hamilton,
chairman of the Great Eastern, that it
is impossible to find a capable Eng
lishman for the position Is true, it is
the greatest reflection on English rail
way management made in recent
| years, but he asserts that the state
ment is not accurate and that there Is
plenty of ability in the ranks of Brit
ish railway men, but that much Of it
is stilled and does not get chance
William Whitelaw, chairman Of the
North British Railway Company, does
not think there is any dearth Of first
class young railway talent in the
country.
Sir Charles Bine Renshaw, chairman
of the Caledonia Railway, says that
one of the difficulties in retaining
good railway men in Scotland Is the
slowness of promotion.
The Westminster Gazette concludes
a severe criticism of Lord Claud Ham
ilton by refusing to believe that Eng
lishmen, who are the pioneers in the
railway construction OF the world, are
incapable of managing the Great East
ern.
The annoyance expressed by the
British press at his appointment was
said by Mr. Thornton himself yester
day to be natural but unjustined, as
he personally felt that the English
railway managers were capable
Mr.. Thornton, as he left London fol
Liverpool to board the Carmania OF
his way to New York, said his ap
pointment meant the introduction o
American methods only when the.
were consonant with the practice o
English railways. He expressed hi
intention OF getting into persona
touch with all the members OF tn
staff of the Great Eastern Railway, il
the hope that he would not miss any
one capable of filling higher post
II that was an American innovation
