WARRINGTON Nov. 24.-Present rates

stand until the Federal Reserve Board
has definite information on the amount
of surplus reserves In the member banks.
The, board today was inclined to believe
that there are $500, 100000 reserves in the
North and West and that any lower re-
discount rate at this time might mean a
flow .of gold to Europe. The South and

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Presldent
Wilson and members of the Federal Re-

agreement and friction between members
of the board over the distribution OF the

The President pointed out to callers
that Paul NJ. Warburg and w. p G..
Harding who were reported opposed to
the cotton pool proposal were members
of the committee which organized the
plan. II, therefore, was absurd to think
that they were now opposing 1t.

Vice Governor Delano, of the board; Mr.
Harding and Mr.. Warburg made similar

NOT MUCH EXCITED OVER
WHITAKER UP IN ALLEN
Lima Times-Democrat. !

The people of this city and county
have taken very little interest in the
Whitacre campaign and will be very lit
tie interested in the announcement which
has been sent out over the press wires
from Columbus announcing the possibil-
ity of the would-be candidate from East
ern Ohio not having secured a sufficient
number of signatures to his petitions to
qualify him as a candidate and get his
name printed on the primary election
ballot. The manner in which Governor
Cox has redeemed the promises made by
the Democratic platform of 1912 is be-
ginning to be realized, and there is as
strong a sentiment in favor of the pres
sent governor for a second term as there
is against the third term proposition in
the Cunningham Cooke race. Whether
Congressman Whitacre gets on the bal
lot as a candidate for the gubernatoria1
nomination or does not, the indications
in Allen County are that Governor Cox
will carry the county with a decisive
majority.

THE PRESIDENTS
LEADERSHIP

The Indianapolis News, an indepen.
dent journal of great influence in its
State, says in commenting on the reason
given for the Presidents remarkable
leadership:
There is today less use of patronage
than there has been for many years. The
President, as far as any one knows, has
no black list If there had been one it
would no doubl have included the names
of the Louisiana Senators. The man OF
courage and vision, who has clear ideas
of what he wants done, always has been
and always will be a commanding figure.
That, in brief, seems to be the trouble
with the President"

SUPREME COURT HITS
STATE TAKING POWER

Republican papers and politicians of
the state were tickled immensely Wed
nesday when they heard the decision of
the State Supreme Court, ruling that
private corporations cannot be taxed on
their good will or earning power, or
upon the amount of their capital stock
and surplus. Gov. Cox hoped to cut the
State tax rate as result of the returns
from the tax assessors over the State and
these Republican patriots are hoping he
will now have to abandon his plans. If
we'll becomes them. The Court s
decision once more proves that all per-
sonal taxation is a fraud and farce and
can't be otherwise. 1t would lift the
burden off certain class by saying you
must not tax their earning power, and
the other gets salivated. The Supreme
Court can't see when man is improving
land in various ways and makes it more
productive and more valuable, he is be-
ing fined in the way of taxes for his in
dustry and earning power. While the
Warnes law is the best personal taxing
scheme yet devised in the State to catch
tax dodgers, there is no justice in it or
any other personal taxing scheme that
can be devised. Governor Cox has done
everything any man could do to tighten
the burdens on those have been contrib
uting most to the State, county and viii
lage governments. Those who laugh
in their sleeves at his attempt to improve
the taxing scheme, outside of the Single
takers, have nothing better to offer. They
are in class with Calamity Jane.

LOOKING AT TAX -DODGER
Phillips AT COLDWATER?
[From Calamity James last weeks
Observer.

Tax Commissioner Morrow states that
the indications are that the assessments
on real estate in Mercer county will ex-
ceed last years. assessments about
81, 500, 900.
There will be little difference in real
estate, as the gains made will be small
and offset by some reduction. Where
there is raise property owners will have
notice by July Is. Next year there will
be complete real estate appraisement
We wonder whether the gains in per-
sonal property is the uncovering of the
hidden wealth of the tax.dodgers of
which the Cox administration has had
much to say, or whether the real hidden
wealth has eccaped as usual and an ad-
ditional burden is placed on the men who
have ALWAYS PAID THE TAXES. 1t
looks like the latter.
