Vindication Is Claimed.

Vindication is claimed by Emile
E. Watson, Actuary for the
State Industrial Commission, in his
latest bulletin to the Ohio employers
who are insured under the provisions
of the workmen's compensation law.
Many months ago Mr.. Watson said
that the rates charged in other states
by the liability insurance companies,
which are writing compensation poll
cies, were far too low, and that it was
imperative they should be increased.
Now he is able to quote from the
statements that have been given out
officially by these same interests that
an immediate upward revision Of.

DEMAND FOR MORE PAY
Likely To Be Postponed BY Ohio Coal
Miners In Convention.

Columbus, O.-Two conclusions
stood out at the annual state conven-
ton of Ohio miners. The first is that
the organization will not ask for the
re-enactment of the Green mine run
law for the reason that mine run is
now a matter of interstate contract
agreement in the central competitive
field.
The second is that the miners will
not ask the coal operators for raise
in wages. The miners have no serious
intentions of suggesting the nullifica-
ton of their contract of 1916, though
they feel they would like larger pay
to meet the higher cost of living. The
operators will not grant the increase
because their contracts are based
upon the present scale of prices.

Akron, O.-With the coal shortage

diately cars of coal now on the way,
but which have been held up. The

many families where there are
young children are trying to keep
their homes warm by wood.

Seventh Annual Tax Report.

Absolutely barren of suggestions for,
the solution of the alleged financial
difficulties of the cities is the seventh,
annual report of the State Tax Com
mission for the year ending December.
81, which was just submitted to the
Governor. The report is largely a re-
capitulation of the work of the COM
mission, with only a few suggestions
for further constructive work. me
amendments that are suggested are
those Of minor nature, praise being
given to the Parrett- Whittemore law
with provision for elective Assessors.
The statement is made that the sys-,
tenn has resulted in the addition of
nearly $20,000,000 in personal tax re-
turns, in addition to increases later
made. Because the constitutionality
of the law is pending in the Supreme
Court, no recommendations for
changes are made. The public utility
valuations for the year were S1,202,-
214,000, as against $1,149, $4,000, an
increase of nearly $53,0O0,00O. In
1910, when the commission was form.
ed, the valuation of these properties
%as $263, 1900. The excise tax
charges for the year are $7,343, ,161,
confined to franchise and excise taxes.
There is an important amendment,
however, in the general tax laws which
would require all foreign corporations
to file list of stockholders who are
residents of Ohio. Another change
recommended is that the lien on the
property of a public utility or corpor
alton shall attach the day following
the last day on which such corpora
tions are required to report It also
is suggested that articles of incorpora-
ton should become void one year after
filing, unless the certificate of sub
scription to 10 per cent of its capital
stock has been filed.

Gov James M. Cox in the presence Of
the General Assembly recommended a
minimum of legislation at the hands

fore a club of business men he an

him at the close. Whether his plea

of legislative rest will be heard is
problematical, because of the ominous
threats of complications.
