Now a word to Mr.. Farmer and
Home Owner. The classifcationists
have thousands of dollars at their dis
posal and they are ready to use them.
They perfected an organization at CO.

are ready to spend their money it
must be some benefit to them and
they are all moneyed men, with a
few exceptions. Why do they not
want to pay their share Of the taxes ?
State Auditor Donahey said that only
10 per cent of all money on deposit in
the banks Of Ohio is on the tax du-
plicate. Why not demand law that
will force this other 80 per cent or

Communication

Dear Editor:
Last Wednesday l had the pleasure
Of attending a convention at Columbus
which had for its purpose some plan
to defeat at the coming November
election the amendment to classify
property in Ohio for taxation.
To my surprise there were between
five and six hundred men there repre-
senting farmers, home owners, real
estate, two or three bankers and one
labor union leader.
An organization was perfected
which consists of President, fifteen
Vice-P Presidents, Secretary and Treas
urer with the object in view of or
ganizing every county and township in
the state. The organization will be
known as the Ohio Home Protective
League, and its motto will be, "Pay
your taxes, leave Ohio, or 60 to jail"
Speakers were introduced from CO.

hey, Cleveland, Cincinnati and from
the state ofisKentucky, showing that

 "Yes." The lazy drawl of Chippie's voice contained a quaver of anger. "She declared that she'd take money out of my pocket somehow, if I didn't give the contribution voluntarily"

 Cripple gave 1osF whistle and tip toed from the room.
 An ominous silence ensued. A thou sand questions tangled up Richards brain so that he was unable to utter one. Doris removed herself from the protection of his arms and walked to Chippie's desk, where she lovingly patted the brick that had gone through the plate-glass window.

 And reluctantly Doris came into his outstretched arms. Richard felt a new, more poignant love for the girl he had almost lost The carelessness with which he had sometimes acted toward the old mild and meek Doris had now vanished utterly.
 It was not until after they were married and the course of their lives was running in well-estab1ished grooves that Doris dared to confess her duplicity. The escorting of his
