GRAND TAX DUPLICATE
OF OHIO MOUNTS up
Big Gains In Assessments Made
BY Willis Administration

Columbus, O-(Spocial. William
L. Finley, nominal head of the Demo
cratic state organization, is a poor
prophet. He prophesied that the tax
duplicate, under Republican hands,
would show a shrinkage of $500, ,000,-
600.
On the contrary there has been a
most striking gain in the tax dupli-
cate, even the inflated personal prop
erty returns of last year being almost
eQualled
This gain has been achieved at a
saving Of 25 per cent in the cost Of
the state tax machinery and of over
$500 per county in the cost OF the
county tax machinery.
Republican officials of the tax de-
partment have been on the job, see
ing to it that the party pledges OF
economy and efficiency were kept
The state tax commission last week
announced the grand duplicate OF tne3
state had been increased $136,872,1l6.
This increase was obtained at a saw
ing of over 100000 in the cost Of
operating the tax department,
Some Big Figures.
The tentative grand duplicate for
1915 is $7,492 $50, ,125, as compared
with $7,253,6SS, ,009 in 1914.
Net returns of district assessors
were $6,27O,31S,5O5, as compared with
S6,160,772,679 in 1914, q net gain oil
$109, 1876.
Not including express companies,
valuation of which is not yet finished,
and not including real estate not used
ir operation, but which is assessed
Ey district assessors, the valuation of
public utilities for 1915 is $1,122,246,-
$40, as compared with $1,094, ,915, $50,
q net gain of $27,331, ,290.
The district assessor returns were
Real estate, 1915, $4,72s,921 AIS; 1914,
$4.592,SS7 ,4SS, gain 36,OS4,O47, Per
sonal property. 1915, $1,541, 1872 ,030;
1914, $1,567 ,935,251, loss $26,543,221,
The personal property figures for
1914 include the 311,04O,O0O of the
Rockefeller assessment, which the
courts ordered cancelled; $685. 500
assessment Of personal property Of
Dan Hanna, which was cut off;
$11, ,699 900 which was cut of the
Hamilton county aggregate in 1914
after the district assessor returns
were made, and amounts in other
counties which we're quietly cancelled
in 1914 after the district assessor fig,
ures had been given to the public.
Since the tables of personal prop
erty returns by district assessors in
1915 were compiled, increase of per-
sonal property assessment in Cuya-
hoga county alone of over $4,000 900
has been made.
The commission states its belief
that the final figures will show little,
II any, decrease in the personal prop
erty returns for the state.
The decrease shown in these tables
In personal returns is largely due:
First, foot and mouth disease and the
attendant decrease in the number Of
animals in the state in 1915 as COM
pared with 1914; second. very largely
to the difference in the amount OF
food and animals on taxing day, 1917,
which was in April. as compared with
February in 1914; third, the conver-
sion of property whiCh was taxable
last year into non-taxable securities.

Crop Conditions.

The condition of wheat sown
this year shows a loss of liz as
compared with last year. About
the same amount was sold when
threshed, the difference being 2%
in favor of last year. Damage
due to Hessian fly is 80 compar-
ed with SD last year.
Corn acreage for 1915 exceeded
that of 1914 by 275, $50 acres.
The average yield per acre is es.
timated to be 81 bushels. The
approximate increase in bushels
is estimated at about 10, 100000
The report shows that slightly
less corn was used for ensilage
this year; the decrease being IL.
The average date of cribbing corn
this year was six days later than
last year.
Only 1917 of the clover acreage
sown in 1914 was cut for seed
this year. while last year 3S%
was cut. The estimated yield
this yearis IL bushels per acre
as compared with 1.59 bushels
last year.
The apple'crop is 2O% larger
than last year.
The average production Of to-
baeco shows a decrease of 35
pounds per acre. ,
Nine per cent more cattle and
four per cent more sheep are be-
ing fed this year than last. The
number of hogs on hand shows a
slight decrease from the average.
The southwest and northwest
sections shows considerable in-
crease in the number of cases of
hog cholera while the increase in
the entire state is only So over
last year. Several counties re-
port the disease more prevalent
than ever before while a few re-
port no cholera whatever. The.
counties that are free from chol-
era are in the northeast and
southeast.
