Devoted largely to defense
and explanation of assertions
that tax rates increased generally in
1915, as compared to 1914, the state
tax commission issued a statement in
which it is shown that a large amount
OF the increase was due to the local
levies for highways and schools What
it really terms startling facts are
shown ny a comparison of 1915 with
1910. In the five years the levies
have grown 33 per cent, while in the
five years preceding 1910 the increase
was less marked. In 10 years, how
ever, which harks back to 1905, the
levies have doubled. The gain in five
years has been s24,552, ,06776, and the
last annual payment of taxes was
$lO0,l11,764.15, or approximately $40
Tor every man, woman and child in the
state. The commission produces fig,
ures to show that the state levy, wilt
the exception of 1913, has been prac.
tically stationary, the increase that
year being due to the addition of half
mill for a special state road fund.
The amount collected has varied little
|
| in 10 years, but at present more is
collected for roads while the common
school fund comes largely from the
states indirect taxation.
In the year 1911 there was less
money collected as taxes on property
from the general taxpayers, the de,
crease being in the neighborhood of
$3,500,000, but in each succeeding year
the gain has been steady For in
stance, 1912 increased over 1911, $4,.
6S7, 200; 1913 grew over 1912, $6,387.-
| COO; 1914 over 1913, $S,067 900, and
1915 over 1914, s7,06S,0O0. The state
ment is made that in 1914, when tax
rates generally were reduced, there
was the largest increase in the his
! tory of the state, more than $2,0OO,Oe9.

Decree To Re Established.


Before Federal Judge John E. Safer
a hearing is to be held for the pur-
pose of formulating the decree in the
Geiger-Jones and Richard cases, in
which the Ohio blue sky act was held
to be unconstitutional. Counsel for TIA
winning side have prepared journal
entries, but they do not entirely meet
the approval of Atty. Gen. Edward C.
Turner. It is believed, however, that
the court will have little trouble in
establishing form of decree, follow
ing the lines of the recent opinion.
The entry of the formal Judgment will
make everything ready for the fling
of exceptions by the attorney general
in the United States supreme court.
The suit to ascertain whether any
vestige of the blue sky act remains
will also be filed in the Ohio supreme
court. Doubt has been expressed as
to whether the Ohio court will con-
sent to pass upon the question raised
for the reason that the federal court
has spoken. In case involving la
Dor statute the court said it felt
bound to follow the decision of the
United States supreme court and did
not consider the issue on it's merits.
