Dry Agents Curbed

The wild acts of over jealous
dry agents and "detectives" are,
according to orders issued las
week by State Prohibition Com
missioner Mcdonald, to be con-
Quoted in a less wild and
woolly" style hereafter.
Mr.. Mcdonald is in his annual
report on the thousands of raids
made on private homes admits
that no evidence was found in
one-fourth of the cases.
The new orders decree that no
raids shall be made until after
charges of illegal sales are OBJ
tanned from two reputable
sources. Heretofore, raids have
been conducted upon receipt oil
anonymous notes and telephone
calls.
Method of raiding club and
lodge rooms, also is changed.
From now on, secretaries of
lodges and clubs, are, first, to be
given notice to remove all cause
for adverse criticism. In the
event that this warning is not
needed, then dry officers may
conduct raids upon such places
at their discretion.
The radical changes in the
mode of procedure were urged
by Gov. Donahey, who also ex-
pressed the opinion that dry Of
ficials should endeavor primar-
lily to prosecute persons violat-
ing prohibition laws for finan-
cial gain instead of annoying
citizens who technically, or oc-
casionally, break these statutes.

No Pressure

For some unknown reason
there seems to have been such
low water pressure at the Smr-
son fire last week that, accord
ing to one Of the city daily pap
ers, there wasn't enough tC
throw the water twenty feet, !"
and it was necessary to attach
the pumper to the hydrant be-
fore a stream could be directed
against the flames.
No explanation of this wOeful
condition, which to say the least
appears strange, has as yet been
made public. Only a few day.
previously a statement had been
made that the reservoir was full
up and the new pump was ready
to deliver its eight million gal
Ions at any time. If either claim
was correct there should have
been water III abundance.
Some credulence is given to
the story that the new pumping
outfit is not all that it is crack
ed up to be, and has failed to
give the satisfaction claimed for
it by some of those who were Sc
anxious for its installation. 1t
is alleged for one thing that the
steam and pumping cylinders
are not in proper alignment,
which renders it unsafe to speed
it up sufficiently to deliver the
full amount of water called for
in the contract and specifica-
tions.
Whether or not the pump has
ever been thoroughly tested is
unknown to the Hired Man"
but there is one thing certain
that such a test should be made
before this expensive purchase
is finally fully accepted and paid
for.

ARMY is EXPENSIVE

Uncle Sam spent $1O,147,386
on the army in the Philippines
last year.
This represents only money
actually paid out in the islands.
Much more was spent for ma
terlal and supplies in the United
States.
Altogether, it probably costs
about $20,0OO,000 a year to KEEP
our army in the Philippines.
What do the American people
get in return? Nothing but {;
chance to become involved in j
first-rate war some day.
From even a military point Of
view the islands are a liability
not an asset.

Tax Amendments

At the fall election in November
voters will be asked to accept or re
ject two proposed Tax Amendment.
to the State Constitution. The major
tax issue before the voters is de-
scribed by its originators as a meas
ure designed to modify the present
uniform rule so that the Legislature
may tax intangibles in a way that
will get them upon the duplicate.
In support Of their contention that
the proposed measure does not sub
stantially alter the workings of the
uniform tax rule, proponents Of the
measure point out that 92% Of the
total tax duplicate under the propos-
ed Amendment will be taxed under
the uniform rule while only 80 will
fall under provisions of the Constltu-
tional Tax Amendment.
The uniform rule was written into
the State Constitution in 1851. Since
that time there have been practically
no changes in it. At that time there
was next to nothing to tax in way Of
monies, bonds, stocks and like. But
those who favor making uniform tax

rule now falls short of equalizing the
tax burden because it is doing eX-
actly what it did in 1851-securing
practically all revenue from tangible
property and permitting other forms
of property to escape taxation.
In substantiation of this statement
it is pointed out that figures compiled
by the State Taxing Commission
show that although banks and build
ing and loan associations last year had
resources and assets of $3,514 1884 ,213
there was only $183, ,234,361 in monies
returned for taxation and the grand
total of all individual personal prop
elty returned was 81, 1,160, ,421 ,490, or
two billion dollars less than the total
assets and resources of Ohio financial
institutions.
In the proposed Constitutional Tax
Amendment which electors of Ohio
will be asked to approve or reject at
the November election change is
made in the taxing of real estate and
tangible personal property: but, AL
moneys, credits, bonds, stocks and
other intangible property as may be
provided by law" 1t is in this pro-
vision that way is provided for put
ting intangibles upon the tax dupli-
cate.

Amendment be adopted the trainers

DON'T LIKE REPORT

Leaders Of the Anti-Saloon
League do not like the report on
prohibition prepared by the Fed
eral Council Of Churches. One
spokesman for the league has
angrily declared that it sounds
like an article written by some
one in the pay Of the wets," an
unjust and unchristian like crit
icism. The Federal Council
speaks for twenty million men
and women Of the Protestant
persuasion, and its sanity, sim
cerity and courage cannot be
questioned.
The council holds that the fail
ures of prohibition are largely
traceable to the fact that the en-
fOrcement Of the law has been
entrusted to men who are not in
sympathy with the effort to
make this country dry.
The councils report is a con-
vincing document. Instead of
criticising it, the Anti-Saloon
League should appreciate that
the cause Of prohibition is il
grave jeopardy. There is a prob
ability that a majority of the
American people will be convinc-
ed that the law cannot be en-
forced and will demand its mOdi-
flcatiOn or repeal.

A Weekly Panorama OF Events In the
National Capital
(By PETER KEEGAN

THE shadow Of Agadh and defeat
ism" continues to haunt Joseph
CaillauX even though France recalled
his from political obscurity to save
her tottering finances. A definite
coldness characterized the attitude OF
the diplomatic set in Washington to-
ward the French finance minister
when he arrived to negotiate a set
tlement of the $4,200,000,0OO debt.
Leaders rarely forget, in contrast
with the masses, who, though, suf-
fering to a greater extent from wars,
have short memories. The invita-
tions extended to Caillaux since his
arrival have been noticeably few in
number in comparison with those
usually proffered visiting notables:
Admirers of the French financia'
wizard, although few in number here,
apparently, are prominent. He is
regarded by many as martyr in a
political feud with Clemenceau,
Frances famous wartime premier
and morally innocent of disloyalty to
his native land. In this connection
his remarkable comeback in France is
evidenced by talk that should he re-
ceive favorable terms from the United
States, the premiership will once
again be his for the asking.

PROHIBITION enforcement nov

DROHIBITION enforcement now
centers in Washington. On the
broad shoulders of Edmund Budnitz,
new regional administrator for the
Washington district, has been placed
the admittedly difficult task of eff
fectively drying up the nations capt
tol. Because Washington is the cen
ter of American politics, it is regard
ed as the pivotal point in the admin
istration's attempt to make the dry
law effective. Failure to do so in
this city, which for years has been
noted as city where liquor may be
purchased with relative ease, woulo
be a severe blow to the Treasury's
campaign and for that reason the
new campaign is expected to witness
the unleashing of every agency avail
able for the task. The possibility
that a group in Congress may in the
forthcoming session attempt to amend
the law is understood to hinge on the
results obtained during the present
campaign.

900 CLOTHING PLANTS
AGREE TO SHUTDOWN
10000 Workers to Be Affected
When New York Firms
Close Next Week.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 5.-Manu-
facturers connected with the Amer
lean Cloak and Suit Manufacturers
Association and employing a total Of
between %, 900 and 10000 union op-
eratives, decided at a meeting today to
cease manufacturing next week.
The employees affected comprise so
per cent of such operatives in the city.
Officers of the association, which
numbers 900 cloak and suit manufac-
turing firms, attributed the contem-
plated shutdown to the alleged failure
of the jobbers of the city to live up
to union standards as we'll as recon-
mendations contained in the report of
Gov. Smiths advisory commission in
the authority made public on July 10
last.
One resolution which they say the
jobbers have disregarded was that the
jobbers in estimating on contracts to
subcontractors provide for 3 per cent
of the wages of the union employees
which the jobbers were to turn into
the unemployed fund of the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Makers Union.
Up to last season the manufacturers
collected this fund, which is said to
have deficit of 100000.
Another charge is that the jobbers
have violated agreements with the
manufacturers in letting out contracts
to non-union firms, thus creating un-
fair competition.
