The attorneys In the case Of Clinton

incompetent person, against James A.
Harrod, Mary Harrod, Eva Harrod and
John c. Harrod, are very much "up In
the air" az result Of the termination
Of the case In the Aueiaize county
probate court yesterday.
Clinton M. Rice, as guardian,
brought suit against the Harrods al.
leging they were concealing assets
worth s17,1SS.S3.
Judge Boesel of the probate court of
Auglaize county dismissed the case
yesterday on the grounds that he was
without jurisdiction, claiming his
court had no jurisdiction over guar.
dianship made in Knox county.
Recently the Knox county court re.
fused to hear the matter alleging it
has no jurisdiction because the Har.
rods and the ward, Jacob Greer, re.
side in Auglaize county.
Hence the attorneys seemed to be
denied right to bring the action in
either Knox or Auglaize counties.

Taxes the Price of Democracy.

Long ago Montesqueu observed, "The gen.
eral rule always holds good; in constitutional
states liberty is compensation Of the heavness
of taxation; in despotic states the equivalent for
liberty is the lightness Of taxation"
1t is indeed worth more to live in America
than any other nation. Insofar as the choice
lies between taxation and liberty, few would
hesitate to shoulder the burden. And to GER
tain extent it is true that democracy is expensive
business. A benevolent tyrant quite probably
could administer affairs at half the cost. AS
things now stand, every time group of citizens
develops want, the state is asked to satisfy it
at the public expense. A tyrant could shake his
head where now our representatives only nod in
agreement.
taxing is an easy business" Burke said
"Any protector can contrive new impositions,
any bungler can add to the old, but is it Alto
gether wise to have no other bounds to your
mpositions than the patience of those who are
to bear them?"
Almost it seems that taxation, local and ma
tional, in recent years has followed the rule on
railroad rates and has been set at all the traffic
will bear. Overtaxation scost England its
colonies, but today we have only ourselves to
blame. Eleeting men to Office on hazy pledges
