London, Aug 26.-It is officially an
nounced at Paris that the Bulgarians
have attacked Drama and the seaport
of Kavala, both garrisoned by Greek
troops.
This intelligence confirms press dis
patches of The last few days asserting
that fighting was in progress between
Greece and Bulgaria.
The report of the attack on Kavala
threatens to render the situation
between Greece and the central
powers acute. Ever since the first
Balkan war Sofia has claimed that
Kavala was one of it's rightful fruits
of victory and it's concession to
Greece has been the source OF much
i'll feeling.
Apparently, from the French state
ment the allied troops do not plan an
advance on the right wing, as British

Serbians and the capture of several

scribed in Petrograd as crushing

tary critics predict an advance toward
Asia Minor.
The usual period of comparative in
activity has followed the western
front gains reported by Paris and
London, and partly confirmed by Ber-

temped new blow at the French
at the point of the famous St Mihiel
salient. This salient juts far into the
French line southeast of Verdun and
has been the scene of some of the
bloodiest fighting in France. The
force of the German blow carried
them into the FRENCH trenches. but
Paris says they were evicted i'm
mediately by counter attack.

ResoIutions Of Respect. Obituaries and
James Boyle, the creature Of willis

James Boyle, the creature OF Willis
on the Tax Commission of Ohio, has
made himself the willing sacrifice in
an effort to protect his chief and the
antocratic law under which thousands
Of arbitrary tax increases have been
made over the state.
BY sacrificing Boyle and the mem
bers of Boards of Revision, and by At
torney General Turner's reversal of
his own opinion, the administration
leaders hope to save bad situation.
The blame lies in the law itself,
passed under pressure Of Willis.
Known as the Parrett-Whittemore bill,
this act was pending for months. At
torney General Turner was consulted.
Governor Willis had 1t offered as the
administration decentralizing bill. 1t
was passed on May z, 1910, to become
effective January /, 1916. While 1t was
pending its infamous features were
pointed out. 1t is the most iniquitous
tax measure ever perpetuated on the
people, and was written to save the
duplicate from shrinkage after the ef-
fective Warnes law had been destroy
ed. The Warnes law did not permit
of tax raises without notice. The VIII
lis law does and Willis cannot escape
the blame His tax commission, the
attorney general and the boards of re-
vision are sworn to uphold the law.
The blame should not rest with them.
On March 3, 1915, when the Parrett-
Whittemore bill was pending, in dis
cussing its iniquitous features, Charles
E. Morris, political publicity writer, of
Columbus, wrote in 200 Ohio news
papers:
There is to be board of revision
which may increase valuations at will,
but there can be no decrease of assess
ing thereon"
On March 7, 1915. while the bill was
EtilI pending, Morris wrote in the
same newspapers;
Like the witches of Macbeth favor
and hate, the provisions of the new
law -Whittemore) are such as
to keep the words of promise only to
the ears and break them to the hopes.
The people may elect assessors, but
the auditors and tax commission can
remove them, and name additional
ones at will. The new board of revi-
-SiOn has powers that are autocratic
in the extreme"
In those days Governor Willis was
daily quarreling with the Democratic
Press Bureau, conducted by Mr.. Nor
rfs. He read the papers. He knew
what was said of the law. What was
predicted has come to pass. Governor
Willis cannot eyade responsibility
Attorney General Turner knew what
the law was and what it meant. The
opinion he gave, quoted by Tax Com
missioner Boyle in a letter of August
l9, upheld the revision boards in act
ing on the arbitrary feature of the
law. When the storm broke he denied
his child.
The Attorney General is not on rec
ord IL appears. The opinion is a ques-
ton Of veracity between him and those
TO whom he gave it. The Governor is
on record, with his signature to the
law he forced to passage. Attorney
General Turner and Governor Willis
are both candidates. Turner may wig.
gle out of responsibility, but Governor
Willis cannot escape what he has writ
ten into the law of the land.
