DECENTRALIZERS
HAVE TROUBLES
PRESENT TOWNSHIP AND WARD
ASSESSORS HOLD TO HELP
@. o. p. OUT or HOLE

Columbus Ohio. March 2i.-Agreement
was reached to day In the Conferenc,
Committee OF the House and Senate on
the Beitler bill, which amends the warnes
law so that the assessment Of property
for taxation this year will be under sup
ervision OF the elective County Auditors
instead Of the appolntive County Tax
Commissioners
The measure that had passed both leg
islative branches and was in the hands Of
the enrolment committee when Attorney
General Turner volunteered the opinion
that, with other so-called emergency bills
IL had not been constitutionally passed
because It had not received two thirds
affirmative vote on every roll-call, will
come up for action on the Conference
Committees report tomorrow.
The report viii send the bill back to the
Assembly in practically the same form
In which II passed the senate. II pro-
vides that present ward and township as
SCISSORS shall remain. II will. however,
present an amendment TO the emergency
clause that win set forth the necessity
for the proposed law to become immedi-
ately effective.
VIII Take TWO Votes.
To overcome objections raised by the
Attorney General to his opinion, two votes
will be taken In each branch. Instead of
voting simply for concurrence in the com
mittee's report, there will be two roll
calls, one on the bill ITSELF the other on
the emergency section.
Lawyers In the Assembly believe that
II on a roll-call two-third vote is re-
corded the measure will have met all the
requirements which Turner insists are
necessary under the constitution.
The bill would have come up for pas
sage to-day but it. was in the printers's
hands. The enrolled bill will be used by
the Conference Committee in making its
report.

BALL TEAM NOW
IN THE MAKING

Manager Otto OFT. of the local base bali
club has just about completed his sched-
ule of games for the coming season and
| promises the fans some good sport.
The weather permitting the season win
open in this city with Greenville on Sun
| day April II.
Manager Oft is endeavoring to get a
good bunch to try out the ensuing few
weeks and two or three pitchers will work
in the opening game. 1t is his intention
to give as many home boys as possible a
chance on the lineup. "Humpy" Yeager
formerly of st. Marys, and a star out
fielder, now working here will probably
get a place in the lineup. McComb, the
popular little backstop, will likely be in
his accustomed place. Big Joe Myers
will likely cover the initial sack, while
Charlie and George Myers, Ellis, BetZ,
Fredericks and several youngsters will
get try.
Cecil Gray will go to Norfolk, on We'd
nesday to join the base ball team which
represents that city in the Virginia lea
que. He was recently sold to Norfolk by
Richmond.-Van Vert Bulletin.
Gray better known as Dollie, is well
know to Ceina fans.
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune's
baseball correspondent writing from Gov
ington, La, says:
One look at the alleged base ball
grounds in this burg today was enough
for Manager Herzog and his crew of Red
leg Regulars, and back they hiked to New
Orleans. TIL Reds arrived from New Or
leans at near to midnight Sunday. After
peaceful nights rest they wended their
way to the ball park of such it may be
called.
If you have ever been up to the big Ce-
lima (O.) reservoir when the water in
that basin was at low tide you have a
pretty fair idea of the condition of the
Covngton grounds Trees and tree
stumps filled the grounds and it would
have been plain murder for anyone to or
der an aggregation of ballplayers to at
tempt anything like an exhibition of the
national pastime.

REPUBLICAN FEUD OVER

A New York Times correspondent
with bent for statistics has figured
out that the popular majority against
Woodrow Wilson in the election OF
1912 was larger by over 10000,
votes than that against any other
President in the history of the coun-
try. He did not receive majority Of
the votes in a single northern or west
ern state and failed Of majority in
six Of the II southern states. He re-
ceived a majority in only the II states
Of the "solid south" In 35 of the re-
naming 81 he was elected by Repub-
lican feud. In IL previous presidential
elections the successful candidate re-
ceived a majority in ten elections lin
Guiding that of 1912 the successful
candidate received less than major
ity.
No President before Wilson ever
took the chair without having received
a majority of the vote in single
western, or border state.
OF the Democrats, Buchanan had
Of Pennsylvania, his home
state, even If he did not get it in an
other nothern or western state. Cleve-
land, in 1884, did not receive major
ity in a single northern or western
state, but he did get minority in the
states composing the northern tier Of
southern states. In 1892 even Cleve-
and had majority in Connecticut and

No Democratic Presidential Candi-
date from north or south in the las,
60 years has received q majority Of the
total popular vote The last Demo-
crat 70 receive il was Franklin Pierce
in 1852 Some Of these Democratic
candidates have made a poor showing,
bu, none since the organization Of the
Democratic party, with the single cx-
ception Of Parker. ever made as poor
showing in the popular votes as did
Mr.. Wilson.
And the nation has had little use
at the next election for Presidents
who failed Of this popular majority.
Indeed, no minority President, with
the single exception Of Lincoln, has
ever been reelected at the next cleo
ton, and the Civil War conditions
made his case different from all
others. Two other minority Presidents
were renominated for the next cleo
ton, but both were defeated, They
were Cleveland in 1883, and Harrison
in 1892
This analysis leads the Times Stats
tican to the conclusion that President
Wilson's election and the Democratic
control Of Congress are nothing more
than the by-products Of Republican
feud. and he also believes that the
election results Of last November show
it to be the last in which this feud
will be Phoenix.

WILSON VS.. TAFT
A Democrat Writes Entertainingly Of
Presidential Possibilities


Mr. Taft need not worry. In his
retirement from public Office he has
impressed the whole country by his
manly conduct. As said in an article
contributed to Harper's Weekly when
the fight was on in the Republican
party three years ago: Strength,
courage, deceney, respect for law and
order, sanity, have been the dis
tinguishing marks of his great admin
istration. He has violated no personal
condolences, he has sought no unfair
advantages, he has not trimmed his
sails to catch any shifty wind that has
blown; he has kept his head in all the
storm Of lies that has beaten about
him, serene in the consciousness Of
having done his best"
People are beginning TO talk about
what Taft did when he was President,
and in view Of the movement to bring
him back into active politics il will be
interesting TO note few of the things
accomplished when he was in the
White House.
The conviction Of the sugar trust.
The dissolution of the Standard Oil
and tobacco trusts.
The indictment Of the whiskey, lum-
Der, and beef trusts.
The building Of the Panama Canal.
The reorganization Of the business
Of the country at the custom houses
and the recovery Of millions Of dollars
OF unpaid duties.
The establishment Of Bureau of
Mines for the protection Of those en-
gagged in perilous work.
The adoption Of the railroads Of 1
safety appliances for the benefit Of the
men engaged in this dangerous calling.
