Of Knox County From Being
The Victims
OF High-HandGd Methods In
Other Counties

The taxpayers of Knox county may
congratulate themselves that Walter
Riley is county auditor and Chas. b.
jackson and w. P. Bebout are men,
bers of the board Of revision. These
three men, all Democrats, have stood
as a stone wall against the state tax
commissions plan of arbitrarily rails
ing the values on property, as returned
by the assessors, without giving no
tice to the property owners, and have
prevented the program of the Willis
administration in that particular from
being carried into effect in Knox coun-
ty, as it was in many counties of the
state.
The property owners Of Knox county
should know that 1t was no fault of
the Willis state tax commission that
they were not soaked good and hard,
as the taxpayers In many counties
were bumped.
Even though Knox county property
owners escaped the high-handed ac-
tion of the state tax commission, their
sympathies will go out to taxpayers of
other counties of the state who have
been victims, and at this time will be
much interested in phases of the stu
alton in Franklin county, as illustra-
tive of what has been happening over
Ohio, shown in the article in the Co
lumbus Dispatch of Saturday evening,
and from which the following is
taken:
Thousands of citizens throughout
the state whose taxes were arbitrarily
raised by county boards of revision,
created by the Parrett-Whittemore
law, which Governor Willis forced the
legislature to enact, are now convinced
that this act, instead of decentralizing
authority, as so insistently asserted by
the chief executive, fiagrantly central
izes authority.
1--WE have given you law that re
stores home rule to the people," says
the governor in practically every po
litical speech he makes, in praising his
pet measures, the Parrett-Whittemore
law. The multitude of citizens whose
taxes were boosted sky high by revi
sion boards appointed under authority
of this law by the governor, cannot see
where this home rule in taxation spok
en- of so eloquently by the governor
comes in.
TRUTH STANDS REVEALED
That the Parrett-W -Whittemore law
under which returns of taxpayers were
increased without notice or hearing

New York. Oct. 24.-Miss Frances A. Ke1lor, chairman of the Women's Committee of the Hughes Alliance, has declined the challenge of the Women's Bureau of the Democratic National Committee for an open de- bate on the issues of the Presidential campaign. She telegraphed from Los Angeles. where the Womens Hughes campaign was turned into spon- taneous demonstration for President Wilson, that the Hughes women could not arrange their schedule so as to return to New York city in time to accept.
 Are all their eggs in one basket? :? Is there no one left in the women's Hughes headquarters who can up- hold the Republican end of a de- bate?" asked Mrs. Mary Ware Den- nett, head of the Democratic Bureau.
 Upon inquiry at the offices of the Hughes Alliance, it was learned that the challenge was declined by the committee in charge in New York without reference to Miss <Kellor for her personal decision.

Inevitable That Man Who Talks To oMuch Will Get
 Into Trouble.

It is Inevitable that the man who talks too much must finally fall vic- tim of the deadly parallel.
 Listen to Theodore Roosevelt. Pres- ident. Year 1906. Occasion Annual message to Congress. Declaration:
 T call your attention to the need of passing the bill limiting the number or hours of employment of railroad employees. The. measuye is a very moderate one, and can conceive of no serious objection to it. 1ndeed, so far as it lies in our power, it should be our aim steadily to reduce the number of hours of labor, with. as goal, the general introduction of the eight hour day."
 Again, in his message to Congress on Dec. 3, 1907, President Roosevelt said:
 The Congress, should consider the extension of the eight-hour law .t The principle of the eight-hour day should, as rapidly and as far as prac- ticable. be extended to the entire work carrid no by the Government"
 And now turn your gaze. on this: Speaker-Theodore Roosevelt. Occa- sion - Speech on Anything beat Wilson" Declarations:
 ''We have seen in this country few things more discreditable to our rep resentatives and more ominous to the future of the nation than the passage of the Adamson eight-hour law for railway trainmen."

DANGEROUS TO
 NAME HUGHES
 FOR PRESIDENT
Judson Harmon of Ohio Be- lieves It Duty to Vote
 For Wilson

New York. Oct. 24.-.One time At torney General of the United States, later Governor of Ohio, and now one of the strongest personalities in na- ,tional politics, Judson Harmon, of Ohio, urges support of President Will son on absolutely non-partisan lines.
 'If there were a Republican Presi- dent in the White House today I would vote unhesitatingly for his re- election,'' MT. Harmon told an inter- viewer, because these are times so perilous it is the unacceptable patriotic duty of every American to stand by his government.
 ''The people of all the nations en- gagged in the great war are standing by their governments; and it is scarce ly less our duty to do likewise. It would be extremely dangerous to have our country in the hands of a dis credited administration for four months-yet that is what will happen if MT. Wilson is defeated in Novem- Der.
 Ut is not necessary for us to ap- prove everything that the admjnistra- ton has done. TS1e point is that it is necessary to back up the admins tration, whether 1t is Democratic or Republican, that we must put aside both personal and party. prejudices for the moment.
 ''The outlook in the Middle West for MT. Wilson is very favorable, especial ly in Ohio. With the campaign enter ing on it's last weeks, there is a no- ticeable drift toward President Wilson rather than toward the Democratic party. That President Wilson is far stronger than his party is disclosed in practically every poll taken in the Middle West. And in Ohio, Wilson is particularly potent.
 "A large proportion of the Progress sives at the last election were Demo- crats, and I believe they will vote for MT. Wilson in November.
 Results are what count. You can't fool voters merely with worn-out legend. We've always been told by the Republicans that panics and diversity come with a Democratic administra- ton. Yet the panic of 1907 occurred in President R4osevelt,s administra- tion, and we are enjoying today under Democratic rule the greatest prosper ity in our entire history"

Harvard Leader Says His Recommendation of Labor

weak government involved, in faction al war and financial chaos withou telling it whether or not the demands are to be enforced by war all the while really believing that threaten- ing words will answer the American purposes? If the mass of American voters could be got to consider this question there would be no doubt about their answer.
 At the start of the war in Europe the President urged the American people to maintain a neutral state of mlnd, and for more than two years ne has merely struggled to maintain neutral rights against injury by any one of the combatants. In this effect to maintain neutral rights has has been diligent and reasonably success ful.
 The Republican orators, and writ CTS at this moment dwell much on the firmness of Republican determination to uphold all American rights and in- terests. They declare with great em- phasis that the Republican party. if placed in power, would not tolerate any illegal interference with American property, mails, or legitimate commer- cial intercourse, Those words describe with approximate accuracy the policy which President Wilson early adopte1 and has uniformly carried out, though with deliberation and calmness.
 AS Republican discussion of the issues in this Presidential election pro- ceeds, 1t looks as if the reasoning Ame(ican voter were going to have a 1alr chance to express his preference for President Wilson's candid, mea- sured, and patient way of conducting grave international controversies over the lingo way. which busters. flour 1shes bludgeons, and fires blank car trfdges, without having the least in tennon or expectation of really getting into a fight.
 The Intelligent and patriotic voter IS also going to have opportunity to condemn the policy of protection and to applaud the acts of the Democratic congress and administration in re- forming the national system of cur rency and finance, in laying an income tax, In procuring a signal act of CO., operation ion the part of Brazil, Ar gentina. Chile, and the United States, in taking the, preliminary steps to. ward arlning and equipping the Uni ted States for modern war, and in promoting effectively the industries and commerce of the country.
 Tn all probability the gravest of all the issues to he determined at the Forthcoming election, so far as they concern the country's prosperity and the peace of the world, is this: Shall the country relapse into the delusive policy misnamed protection. or con- tinue to advance toward a tariff for revenue only?" x
