TAX AMENDMENT
(By f. M. Baugher)

Speaking Tuesday noon before the
Rotary Club of Newark in the Ma
sonic Temple, State Representative,
Wayne C. Overturf, discussed the
proposed constitutional tax and debt
limitation amendments which are to
be voted upon this fall.
According to the speaker the con-
atitutional tax amendment is simply
measure that will make the pres
ant uniform tax rule elastic enough
TO cover intangibles which are now
escaping taxation. The Debt Limita
ton Amendment simnly writes into
the Constitution the pay-as-you-go
plan which is already in the Ohio
Statutes. The present uniform rule
was written into the Constitution in
1851 when the total tax duplicate
was only 1852, ,148,62O, but the
total taxable wealth of the state now
IS $12,250,387 7,725. Since 1851 Ohio
has changed from an agricultural
state to beehive of industry and has
created intangible wealth whose value
S greater than that of the tangible
wealth.
In substantiation of the contention
that intangibles are now escaping tax
alton the speaker said that in Ohio
in 1924 we had 1,06O,157 personal
property tax returns and the total
personal property returned for taxa
tion was only Y.o3, ,234,361, while the
financial institutions of Ohio had
1854 1884, 1873.
BRINGING the tax lesson home, Mr..
Overturf said: "The value of all
monies in possession or subject to
draft returned for taxation last year
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-10-16

by 14,847 personal property tax re-
turns in Licking county, amounted
to $3,669 $40, while the money in all
Of the financial institutions in Lick
ing county totaled $22,990,690. In
this county motor and other vehicles
in the amount of $2,402,825 were re-
turned for taxation and the total
value Of all credis after deducting the
bona fide debts amounted to $685.
395, and the grand total for taxation
for all personal property, both tangi-
bic and intangible, was $16 6,405 ,290,
but the financial institutions of this
county had $22,990,690, which is $6,-
5S5, 400 more than was returned for
cattle, hogs, horses, sheep, farm i'm
plements, automobiles, household
goods, diamonds, mortgages, notes
and eevry conceivable tangible and
intangible personal property subject
to taxation"
The speaker declared the proposed
amendment would put these millions
OF dollars in intangibles that are es-
Gaping taxation upon the duplicate
anG thereby lesson the burden on real
estate and tangibes and whose prop
crty cannot escape taxation.
1t was further pointed out that the
proposed taxation amendment will
largely abolish the infamy of tax
lodging in Ohio and place upon the
duplicate approximately three billion
collars Of deposits in financial insti-
tutions, practically all of which now
escape taxation. AS a result finan-
cial institutions will have additional
capital with which to finance public
enterprises. 1t will check. the alarm
ing drift of money out Of every Ohio
community heretofore invested in non
taxable securities.
The speaker declared the proposed
Constitutional Tax Amendment is in
no way related to amendments voted
upon periodically since 1889. The
amendment was drafted by represen-
tatives Of forty financial, agriculture
al, educational and civic organiza-
tions. 1t was drafted by men from
all walks of life who have given
years of study to the taxation prob
lens of Ohio. For the first time in
the history Of proposed tax measures
the farm leaders of Ohio were agreed
upon and were supporting the amend
mentS.

The professor contract was five spades
and A led the ace of hearts and then
low heart which the professor won with
the king. He then took out the trumps
and led a small club from dummy and
fnessed with his queen. The king was
in AS hand so that the professor failed
to make his contract as he subsequent
ly lost the king of diamonds which was
also in AS hand. After the hand was
over, the professor said to his partner.
"Well, partner, if the king of clubs had
been on the right side, | would have
made my bid" His partner, a very
good player, replied: "You could have
gone game without taking the fnesse:
After you had taken out the opponents
trumps, you should have led low dia-
mond toward the queen in dummy. A
had the king SO that your diamonds

was correct and the professor apologized

The professor should have sized up
the hand as follows: "A can only have
four clubs for he has led the three and
the deuce is in dummy. Therefore, ALB
should only make two club tricks and
two heart tricks. If the diamonds are
evenly divided, | can go game without
hnessing the queen of spades. If they
don't break, then | will have to fnesse
the queen of spades" " Unfortunately, he
failed to figure out the hand as outlined,
and as soon as he got dummy in the
lead, led the spade, fnessed the queen
and A won the trick with the king of
spades. 1t was now impossible for the
professor to go game as he had to lose
two club tricks, two heart tricks and
one spade trick. To play the hand cor
rectly he should have set up his hearts
and then have played for the drop in
diamonds. They we're evenly divided
so that in this way he could have made
game. His partner was silent for a min
ute and then said: "Well, professor, it
looks as if anybody can teach Greek

PROTEST REDUCING
STREET PARKWAY
Narrowing of Pennsylvania
Avenue Center in Southeast
Opposed by Citizens.

Any action having for its purpose
the narrowing of the center parking
on Pennsylvania avenue from Second
street to the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge, in the Southeast, will meet
with the opposition of tht Southeast
Citizens Association. This action was
decided on at a meeting of the asso-
citation in the Tyler School, Eleventh
and G streets southeast, last night.
Capt. William E. Luckett said this
proposal had come to his attention
and he offered a resolution condemn
ing the scheme. IT was pointed out
that the Avenue in that section is
sufficiently wide to accommodate
present traffic and that any effort to
increase the width at the expense of
narrowing the parkway would be
detrimental to its btauty The
Avenue is one-way thoroughfare on
either side and is sufficiently wide to
permit of at least five automobiles
driving abreast. 1T was said.

Luckett. DR.. Victor G. Farrell and III.

the matter and take any action neces-
sary to thwart the proposed change.
The condition of the Avenue bridge
was characterized as deplorable. in a
resolution presented by A. Pfeger and
adopted by the association. The
citizens have been led to believe that
the floor OF the structure was to be
resurfaced with concrete it was
stated, but instead an additional layer

When Uncle Sam czlled 5000, 900 men 10
the training camps, and had to fit them with
new shoes so they could walk all day with
rife on their shoulder and 50-poslnd pack
on their back, he got more knowledge and
experience in fitting shoes IN three years than
all the shoe salesmen IN the world had accum-
ulated in three centuries
I gave up my job as President Of tins Com
pany and accepted q new position to help
Uncie Sam establish Training Schools Tor
Officers over here, and over there, to teach
men how to fit shoes IN the training camps.
Surveys made in eight camps showed that
II ,852 out of So, ,7O6 were fitted from A to 81
sizes short. before the Resco Foot Measuring
Machine, which invented and presented TO
the Government, was officially adopted by the
United States Army, September 20, 1918.
Now, what was the trouble, and what is the
answer?
The old fashioned method of trying to fit
shoes by measuring the length of one foot
with q size stick when you are sitting down, -
a guessing contest from start to finish.
The Foot Rule - no relation TO the Size
Stick. I can't find anybody who movs what
the unit of measurement Of the size stick
represents. Some say it's Barieycnn-
IF your foot measured sire s on the SIZE
stick, it would measure about 10L inches ON
a foot rule, and the salesman would tell you
that you should wear anything from to
an 81.
He never attempts to measure the width
of the foot with the old-fashioned size stick
50 that's all pure guess.
And furthermore, he only measures one loot,
and every man in the training camps had two
feet, and the right width Of both feet Is Just
q important a The correct length
We took m the guess out o fitting shoes

Fftting Machine 10 measure the length and
vidth of both feet when he 'v0 standing up

/ Spent 100000 to take
Guess out of Shoe Fifth

When yuu stand up In this new RESCo
Twin.Foot Fitting Machine, it automatically
and accurately measures the length and width
of both feet at the same time.
The delicate mechanism is scientifically ad-
iusted to measure the foot expansion and reg
lister the length and width Of the shoe required
to properly fit both stocking feet when the
i" Standing weight" is placed on the sensitive
sprinss-
Now, rust for the fun Of It, If you want to
make shoe salesman stutter, ask him what
the unit Of measurement IN the size stick means
Ask him why he doesn't give you the sire
you actually measure on the size stick.
Ask him why he only measures the length OF
one foot while you are sitting down, when the
only time you use your feet is when you are
standing up, and then you like to use both feet
Ask him if he knows that the Army Survey
shows that in measuring both feet, IN 500 OF
the cases the left foot is larger than the right,
and 40T of the measurements show the right
foot is larger than the left.
Ask him If it wouldn't be more sensible to
measure the length and width of both feet
while you are standing up, before he starts to
i,unp ND a ladder to get a size he guesses
might fit one foot
couldn't get a satisfactory answer to any
Of these questions, that's why have spent
the last FIVE years IN improving the machine

guess out Of fitting your feet.
