TABER REPLIES
To DETRACTORS
UNDER CRITICISM
FOR TAXATION PLAN
State Grange Leader Declares
Farmers Plans Are Mis-
understood

Special Dispatch TO The lntelNgencer.
Columbus. O.. Feb. 1S.-More oppo-
sition developed today to the Silver
resolution. introduced in the leGisla-
ture to abolish the uniform rule in
taxation. and which has the indorse-
ment of Governor Davis in his taxa
ton program, when several advocates
OF the. retention of the uniform rule
appeared before the governors special
tax committee.
John ii. Chester. leader Of the Corn
Stalk club in the legislature. issued an
appeal to farmers Of the state to rally
behind tho opposition led by him in
legislature TO the Silver resolution.
Chester charged false leaders" are
seeking TO abolish the uniform rule and
that the curse Of classification again
threatens Ohio"
Mr.. rAber Replies.
The criticism Of Chester and otners
was directed at l.. J. Tabcr OF Barnes
Vile. master Of the State Grange; G.
A.Dycr Of the Home Protective League,
and O. F.. Bradfute. president OF the
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. Taeer
is chairman of the governors special
tax committee. and Bradfute and Dyer
are also on the committee.
Replying to the storm OF criticism
which he admitted today was growing,
Taber declared that the proposition OF
tho farm organizations WAS misunder-
stood and misconstrued. Taber said
he and the farm organizations were not
for classification and were for change
in the uniform rule only because they
realized that 1t was not being enforced.
The Legislature is in recess until
Monday.

Death was said to have been instan-
taneous. Investigation later showed
that Mr. De Forest had gone from
the second floor OF the house, where
his bedroom was, to the attic. The
family say that he may have been

a fainting spell and may have lost his
balance. Assistant County Physician

as suicide.

IN Brooklyn, where he had lived for
forty years. He was born in Bridge

he was three years old. He became a
resident of Montclair twenty-five wears
ago. AS young man he was employed
by Mckesson e. Robbins, druggists, at
81 Fulton Street, later going to the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance. In 1915
he was elected president of the Officers
Association Of the Esd Regiment, sue
ceeding the late H. II. Higgins.
Colonel De Forest is survived by his
wife and two daughters, Misses Helen
and Dorothea De Forest. Arrangements
tor the funeral and interment at Mont
clair will be announced later.
