REPUBLIcANs SLAP WILLIS
[ottawa sentlneil

Everybody's doing IT, That is,
iolting the gizzard governor Last
week. John A. Cine, prominent re-
publican leader of Cleveland, hand
ed out jaw breaker to Willis
Cline not only does not want him to
be re-nominated but demands that
Willis at once resign the Office of
Governor. Cline wants Willis to get
out of the way and give republicans
a chance to save the party in Ohio.
lie says that Mr., Willis has proven a
failure and can not be reelected.
The Republican state committee
met in Columbus a few days ago. As
matter of fact Willis expected his
own party committee to endorse his
administration. A resolution was
prepared II was never introduced,
The Committee made it plain that it
would not adopt such a resolution.
The Committeeman from the home
district of Mr.. Willis was antagonis-
tic. One committeeman said that
the only strength that Willis would
add to the republican ticket next No
vember would be avoirdupois.
These iolts come from men who
helped to put Mr.. Willis in Office.
Frank B. Willis is practically an OBJ
ject of pity today in Ohio. His ap-
pointees have failed him. He con-
fesses his mistake by kicking them
out of office. His rash promises
made in the campaign are now horri-
Bile grlnning ghosts that haunt him
day and night. Ohio is paying a
heavy penalty for its folly in follow
ing a demogogue.
Mr. Willis should not resign. He
should stay and take the licking that
is coming to him. The Republican
party should be ashamed to ask some
other man to take the nomination
and get the drubbing which Willis
has so richly earned. Willis may be
a monumental failure as Governor,
but he should not allow his enemies
to say that he is a coward and ran
away from the rod and lash.

THE COUGH SYRUP JOKE
[Ottawa Sentinel

Willis has fired George Bope, re
publican inspector of workshops and
factories. other incompetents are
slated to be kicked out. Bope's re-
cent appointment was a joke. He
agreed to stay sober. He took the
place of a competent man. Not long
ago he was called on the carpet and
asked to resign. Again he agreed to
keep sober His resignation was
written. 1t was to be effective if he
broke his pledge. Last week he was
again called to account. He said it
was Cough Syrup" that had made
him talk loud and act queer. This
alibi didn't go. His resignation was
accepted. Bope is capital city musi-
clan. Toots a horn beautifully. Now
he threatens to expose dark secrets
of the Willis administration. The
wrecking crew is falling out with it
self Cough Syrup" is one more
administration joke. Willis can tell
the vets he appointed BOpe. He can
tell the drys that he fired him.

AN AMENDMENT IN ORDER

Senator Kenyon of Iowa has in
troduced a bill to levy special tax
on incomes of eXpatri9ted Americans
Among these are Baron Astor form
erly William Waldorf Astor; the
Duchess of Marlborough, formerly
Consuelo Vanderbilt; the Duchess OF
Manchester, formerly Helen thinner
man; Princess Colonna, formerly Eva
Mackay, and others. Undoubtedly
these Europeans are
drawing incomes which residents of
America have earned. They are
drawing ground rents in some form,
and are able to do this because our
laws confer on a few favored indivi-
duals the privilege of appropriating
values created by all the people. 1t
is quite just that incomes drawn
from such source should be taxed
But is is not right that the tax should
be limited to only few Of those who
legally appropriate what others pro-
duce. On this ground Senator Ken
yon's bill deserves some criticism.
Had William Waldorf Astor re-
mained in New York and retained his
American citizenship, he would have
been no less a parasite on the Amer
lean people, than he is as British
baron The tenants on his New York
property get just as much in return
for the rent they pay as those on the
property of his American cousin, Vim
cent Astor. The ground rent that
goes to Pincent is to pay for living
among advantages created-not by
Vincent-but by the people of New
York City, The ground rent that
goes to pay for the identical same
thing. There is neither reason nor
equity in discriminating against one
in favor of the other The ground
rents both draw, belong morally to
the people, as also does the rental
value of lands which are not produc
irg ground rents because held out if
use.
Senator Kenyon should accept an

it apply to all socially created values,
appropriated, regardless of
the residence or citizenship of the

A PLACE IT HAS NOT REACHED
[ohio State Journal, Rep.l

[Ohio State Journal, Rep.l
When President Wilson told at a
banquet of business men Of his con
version to the tariff commission idea,
the other day, there was enthusiastic
applause. This is a symptom that the
business sense of the country is on
that side. There is a good deal Of
conversion going on. II has not yet
reached the Republican managers,
but it viii Now is the time for the
conversion to be general, when our
commercial relations with the world
are about to undergo a great change.
The tariff is too big a thing to be
settled by loggerheads on mere par
ty lines. The individual interest in
revenue law is not the governing
circumstance in determining such po-
Icy. Economic legislation is as much
a part of patriotism as paying a debt
or fighting a battle Resorting to the
tariff commission is placing the tariff
alongside of the Golden Rule, which
wishes good for all and doesn't ask
odds of any.
The commission method does not
lay down a policy. 1t gets the infor-
nation upon which to project a pol
icy. Its purpose is to say, when
man wants to add to the duty on
grindstones, wool, crockery or pig
iron-here are the figures that show
all the economic phases of the pro
position-now let the peoples repre-
sentattves act. That is going to be
the policy of this country, all the pol
iticians to the contrary notwithstand-

THE BANKING CONDITION
[DaYton Ionrnal. Ren.l

Dayton journal, hep'
Banking conditions throughout
the country never were better II Is
probably not possible TO arrive at the
actual amount, but IL is certain that
citizens of all countries in Europe are
transferring their private wealth to
the United States just as rapidly as 1t
Is possible for them to do so. This
fact accounts for the enormous in
crease in the deposits in the New
York banks and In the banks of other
large cities. The fact is evidence
that our foreign neighbors regard
this country as the one safe place I'm
the world where they can place their
valuable substance. 1t is Just that,
at present, and we want to keep IL so.
The condition of the Ohio banks
has been gratifying; in these institu-
tions there has been uninterrupted
progress and growth, II we may take
the word of the state superintendent
of banks, which covers the year end
ing June 80, 1915.

BUY ORCHARD TREES EARLY

"Order your nursery stock now if
you want to get the best trees for
your young orchard" advises Profess
sor Wendell Paddock of the horticul-
tural department, Ohio State Uinver-
sity. January is the time to buy but
the delivery may be made later
Nurserymen have limited stocks of
many kinds of fruits and the desired
kind may run out after the book or
ders are filled. Many of the big com
mercial orchard planters order one
year whips Practically none buy
trees over two years old The older
or larger tree lose more roots in dig
ging and it talks a longer time for it
to recover after transplanting. One
year trees may be headed exactly
where desired while older trees are
already headed and must lose their
buds if they are cut back to the low
er heads. As to the grade or size of
the tree, avoid the very large and ov-
er-sized ones and also the small siz-
es. Both results will come from the
well developed, stocky trees.

THE RIGHT WAY TO GET MONEY

Whether the policy of prepared
ness be right or not in itself, there
is no excuse whatever for paying the
expenses involved through wrong
method of taxation, The same truth
should be impressed upon Congress
as the British United Committee for
Taxation of Land Values proclaimed
in the following resolutions:
This meeting profundly re-
grets that in its recent War Bud
get the government has failed
to recognize that those who hold
the land should be specially call
ed upon to pay for its defense.
This meeting alfirms that a
direct tax on land values would
open up the land to the people
by bringing more land into the
market and reducing rents to
their natural level, that it would
be a practical expression of the
rights of the people to the land,
and that it is the only tax which
can raise revenue without him
dering production, or adding to
the cost of living.
When a government asks citizens
to risk their lives in it's defense, its
first duty is to show itself worthy of
the sacrifice, by establishing just eco
nomic conditions, which it can do
through performing its proper func-
tions in a strictly just way. This it
does not do, when it proceeds to pay
expenses by such iniquitous methods
as through tariff duties or other tax
es on labor.
1t does not do this when it encour-

WILLIS ON THE STUMP

As a candidate for the renOmina-
ton for governor, forcing the Repub-
lican party to accept him, Governor
Frank B. Willis has gone on the
stump. BY his avoidance of answer
to the charges hurled against him
and his bitter attack against former
Governor Cox and his administration
Governor Willis has hurled defiance
at John NJ Cline, ex-Republican pro-
scouting attorney of Cuyahoga coun-
ty who has annouced himself a pros
pectiye candidate for Republican no
mination and others who contemplate
such announcement. The governor
recognizes that if he can secure re
nomination he has a slim chance for
election and he wants that chance.
TO ward off others in his own party
he seeks thus early to begin his cam
paign and set up as line Of campaign
a continuance of the fraud, deceit
and buncombe by which he won in
1914. By so doing he sets up the
fact that he believes Cox will be the
next governor of Ohio by way of
Democratic nomination, though the
former governor has not yet made
any formal declaration.
In his speeches at Akron and Day
ton where he had announced he
would reply to the charges made by
Mr.. Cox in his Jackson Day speeches,
it was notable that he directly avoid
ed any semblance of reply but endea-
vored by bluster and undignifed ey-
CORPORATION to evade explanation OF
awkward circumstances Of his admin
is.ration. Admitting the presence of
scarlet women" he mid behind their
fallyIe TO assist in the destruction OF
certain laws, and made a bid for the
support of employers liability insur-
anCe interests. He did not refer to

rect taxes. AS to the increase of the
taxes in ninety percent of the sub-di-
visions, he did not deny that Cox had
made it his business to keep rates at
the minimum, but said local taxation
was no concern of his
The governor admitted his ability
to make figures say what he wanted

MCKINLEY AND THE COMMISSION
LOhio state journal, Rep. ]

[Ohio State journal, Rep.l
Former President Mckinley, in his
noted Buffalo speech, Sept. 5, 1901,
gave utterance to a broad view of
American policy upon the subject of
the tariff, which expression is in per-
feet harmony with the proposed tar
iff commission. He said:
"The period of exclusiveness
is past. The expansion of our
trade adm commerce is the press
ing problem. Commercial wars
are Improbable. A policy of
good will and friendly trade re-
lations will prevent reprisals.
Reciprocity treaties are in har-
mony with the spirit of the
times; measures of retaliation
are not. If perchance some of
our tariffs are no longer needed
for revenue or to encourage and
protect our industries at home,
why should they not be employ
ed to extend and promote our
markets abroad?"
This is a powerful exposition of
the nonpartisan tariff commission
policy, which can be developed only
upon broad and enlightened grounds.
The commission is for the purpose of
reaching the facts upon which this
generous and enlightened policy is to
be maintained. No friends of Will
liam Mckinley can take a stand
against the tariff commission idea.
