isah rchaas, II, iAs6t, for the first
time abandoned the primitive practlce
of classifying the lands ACCORDING 70
the quality of the soil, and adaeo otner
sources of revenue to the Lana TAX
from which almost the whole OF the
income of the State had, up TIL now
oeen derived" page 1850.
In matters of taxation 1t is axloma
tic that simplicity and publicity are
emnently desirable. 1t is also WINS
pered that .'land lies out O doors. we
have seen that the Ohio wilderness
prospered under partial application
uhe Single Tax upon land. Conslder
now, some results of multiple taxa
ion: Ohio's constitution (lS5l) pro
vides for a general property tax ~
taxing by a uniform rule all moneys,
.redits, investments in bonds, stocks,
oint-stock companies or otherwise;
and also all real and personal property
according to it's true value in money
rhe idea is plausible, but fallacious;
has never worked we'll anywhere
since time began.
On January s, 1908. a State Tax
Commission wrote the usual chapter
If horrors familiar to readers of such
-eports. 1t acknowledged the escape
from taxation of fully SO per cent OF
Ill intangible property which is un-
ioubtedly going on in Ohio today"
The gravest complaint brought by
he Commission against the present
system is that it lowers the standard
If integrity. They say that even if
he law had produced material bene-
| fit, instead of a material injury, such
benefit could never compensate fol-
| he deplorable influence upon the
moral sense of communities that re
| suits from knowledge that false re
turns for taxation are made by citi
zens generally; and disrespect for the
law is shown on every hand.
| In "The Independent" February 3
1898, Hon E. "A. Angel, formerly Of
the Ohio State Tax Commission, writ
| 'ng on "The Tax Inquisitor Law in
Ohio says:
st is evident at once, therefore, that
the informer- srheme does not make
the general property tax effective u
has utterly broken down in Ohio, as
elsewhere" -.
| He also said that
"The moral aspects of the questAor
are, however, the important ones,
the law contains all the opportunitie!
of great corruption. Stories are whis
pered about of large sums of none!
paid, no part of which reaches tn,
| County Treasurer"
Concerning material effects, Mr.
Angel says:
"The indirect results of the Law
have been to drive away large masse
OF capital from the State. IL Is est
mated that at least $zO0,0OO,OV0 ma
Deen Iosu W CIeVelanu alone, and a
much more to CINCINNATI. AnoLhe
Well established result has been the u
paraleleu appreciation OF real $estat
IN Ohio.'
Finally, call the former governor @
Ohio. In mis- message, january 3, 1917
me governor complained that even III
private tax ferrets, employed 10 assls
the STATE, uere detrauolng it. h
said: Tine situation couIu hardly b
Wrose than it is, and has long been
, SO 1t is a part OF wisdom 10 try neN
methods"
ONO is but another horrible exam
pie OF now not to do it.

in Last Speech Before

Long Branch, n J., November 4.--Presi-
dent Wilson closed his campaign for re-
election at Shadow Lawn today with a
speech in which he accused the OPPOSE
ton of attempting to coerce workingmen.
and charged that political capital is be-
ing made out of unsettled questions
which, if not settled wisely, might bring
this country at any time into the world
conflict"
Predicting democratic victory next
Tuesday, the President declared
Having despaired of an issue. they are
filling the country with alarms. They are
not only filling the country with alarms,
but they are attempting coercion of their
laborers. They imagine that these men
are not their own masters and dare not
vote as they think but, at last I thank
God, the American laborer is awake.
Let them fill the country with alarms;
the alarms are their own. not ours. They
used to control the credit of the country;
now they control nothing but the bet
ting.

The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-11-05

This is the first of a series of articles
by Captain Koeng describing the first
trip ever made across the Atlantic in
submarine. The second article will
appear in tomorrow's Age-Herald.
How did we get the U-boat Deutsch-
land? This is a long story which l must
leave to more competent persons to tell,
the most important part of which is said
in the speeches with which the Deutsch-
lands return was celebrated at the court
house in Bremen. These can be found
at the end of this narrative. The thought
t, build U-boats for trading purposes over
the worlds seas is the expression of the
German peoples decision to nullify the
English blockade of our and America $
coasts, to terminate the hindrance of our
righteous commercial enterprises. The
spirit of activity, the German genius of
shipbuilding inventions and German
shipyard's ability to furnish necessities,
have united itself to give the English
mastery on the seas tremendous set
back.
What changes and turns the traffic
with merchant U-boats can establish can
as vet not be determined 1t is possible
that there will be an entire change of sea
war, that new ideas of peoples rights
will be created and duties will make an
entrance in the relations of the worlds
market which will be of great Importance
to the life of the people
We Germans can be proud of our Ger
man U-boat which began the epoch.
What has it to do with it that British
U-boats before us crossed the Atlantic?

THRILLING STORY OF
SUBMARINES TRIP
Commander Of the Deutschland Recites Dan.
gers Encountered, How They Were Met and
Gives Idea Of How His Men Passed Their
Time Under the Ocean Waves

They went over the water accompanied
by cruisers and auxiliary boats, needed
only to carry provisions and ammunition
on board and lad no dead weight besides
armor, and above all they could in case
of necessity defend themselves Con-
trary to them the merchant U-boats only
defense is to dive under the water, and
ey ell this cannot be done everywhere with
a large boat of 1000 tons.
With the engagement to command the
Uboat Deutschland to America was l,
therefore, placed before an entirely new
and peculiar duty, which would have been
just as new to me if instead of being
an old skipper 1 would have been a
U-boat commander.
HOW BECAME CHIEF
But first 1 have to tell how l became
captain on the Deutschland. 1t came as
surprise to me-
In the middle Of September, 1916, was
on business in Berlin, when one evening
at my hotel / found request to go and
see Mr. Lohmann, from Bremen, the well
known shipbuilder residing at the Hotel
Adlon.
| was wondering for what purpose he
would like to see me. / knew we'll who
he was, and had also met him person
ally in Sydney, where the firm Lohmann
had an agency for Norddeutscher Lloyd,
WElcn SHIPS L mad commanded. he GER
tainly could not now during the world S
war even think of beginning a German
line to Strait Settlements and Australia!
And on the Baltic the firm had no con-
nections. What did they want of a skip
per used to travelling to east Asia. Amer
lea, and ON the Pacific?
Thus l was meditating as 1 went to
the Hotel Adlon.
Mr.. Lohmann received me very cordial
