on the Ballot.
Columbus, June 29.-Secretary Of
State Fulton announced that he had
decided to place the full text Of the
Shinn proposed constitutional amend
ment to exempt real estate mort
cages from taxation, to be submitted
at the November election, on the
ballot without title, thus ending the
controversy between the supporters
and opponents Of the proposal re-
garding the kind of a title that should
be used for 1t. At the behest of the
supporters of the proposal, chiefly
real estate dealers, the legislature
decreed that title setting forth that
the proposal was to provide against
double taxation should be used. Build
ing and loan men, who are against
the proposal, objected to this title,
contending that it was misleading.

ond Lieut. Lee c. Murphy. OF the
Seventy-frst Infantry. found guilty
)f bringing into camp Intoxicating
liquor. was sentenced to be repri-
manded and to be restricted to camp
for one month.
The reviewing authority in its ac-
ton on the case concluded that the
was entirely too lenient,
and insisted that the officer was
guilty of having used enough OF the
liquor to incapacitate him for duty.
The closing paragraph of the conf
ment follows:
Second Lieutenant Murphy has
been found guilty OF conduct which
indicates a failure on his part to
recognize the duty and responsibility
incumbent upon his position as an
officer, not only to enforce but to
observe proper ideals and standards
of military propriety and discipline
His usefulness to the service has been
seriously impaired and he cannot hope
to be continued in the service as a
officer. unless by his
future conduct he demonstrates a
higher sense of duty and a proper
OF his responsibilities"
