LARGER DUPLICATES; LOWER
RATES AND LESS TAXES

Last summer the Ohio Equity .Asso-
citation, an organization of city mil
lionaires and liability insurance mag
mates, conducted a campaign for a
Warnes law referendum. The an
nouhcement was made it was in the
interest of the farmers, home owners
and possessors of real estate. The
Warnes law is in operation and here
is synopsis of report given out by
the State Tax Commission:
"a total of 94,792 persons whose re-
turns have been reported by the Dis
trict Assessors have helped to tighten
the tax payments of the owners of
farms, homes and real estate by in

signed by Democrats who are gratified
of an opportunity to thus endorse

their disapproval and condemnation
of the villihcation and abuse heaped
upon him by mendacious stand-pat Re

C. o. P.'s VALUE VALUE or
WORKING MAWS LIFE

Hypocritical Republican leaders,
striving to break down the workmens 4
compensation act in he interest of
their hackers. the Liability insurance
companies, are asking What IS the
money value OF a working maRs life?'
TIE answer Is at hand When they
were IN power the working mans life
was worth nothing The liability in
suranee companies were called into eT-
istenee TO preserve reckless employ
ers from being compelled TO pay dam
ages for the lives they sacrificed.
Whats the next question?
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1914-03-27

personal property as did the elected
assessors, whose average increase
from year to year on this class OF prop
erty was 1O.9 per cent. The increase
for the state in 1914 on the more than
$4,000 returns is 80 per cent.
"For many years there has been
complaint that the personal property
in the cities was not adequately taxed,
but, according to returns received, this
is being remedied. The increase on
personal property in the cities is AZ
per cent.
There will be no excuse for the fail
ure of budget commissions to lower
rates this year. The prospects are
that every county in the state, includ-
ing the small ones, will have at least a
million dollars increase of personal
property, which will be confined prin-
cipally to intangible assets not form
erly listed
This commission believes that the
public officers making up the budget
commissions in the different counties
will voluntarily take advantage which
the big increases provide for lowering
the rates, and that means less taxes
for all the property owners who have
been honest in their returns, and
whose real estate appeared on the du-
plicate at its nominal value. The
budget commissions will fix the 1914
tax rates on the 1914 duplicate and, as
one or more of the officers composing
the same in each county will either
be up for reelection or there will be
candidates for the offices which will
place the successful ones on the budg-
ct commissions for future rate making,
the tax commission believes that it
will not be necessary to resort to
strenuous measures to get lower
rates"
