OLD ADVERTISERS
REVEALED
AT Butler County Fair Grounds
Bring Back Memories OF Old Time
Independent Merchants.

Immediately after the Butler County
Agricultural Society employed men to
raze the old horse barns and stables
few weeks ago, it was discovered by
some of the workmen that some of
the lumber had been used for repairs
time and again, and painted on them
were advertisements from many mer-
chants of Hamilton.
Many will remember most of the
old Hamilton stores independent of
course) who took advantage of adver-
tising their wares on the buildings,
fences and trees situated around the
grounds during the week of the larg-
est county fair in the state of Ohio.
1t was some of this lumber used
for sheathing in the barns that came
from other parts of the fair grounds
and has been there of course for a
long time.
The Press is pleased to recall many
of the old-time independent stores
and business firms who advertised in
this manner, on the Butler County
Fair Grounds and here they are as
follows:
Meyers Drug Store, Schlosser Stove
Store, Spencer Ice Cream Company,
Second National Bank, Slifer Packing
Company, M. d. Hirsch Toy Store,
Chas. (Poor Charlie) Ekstein, Semler
Flour Mill, Dan Charles Old v. Cof-
fee, S. D. Bowers Shoe Store, Wendell
Utz's Saloon, Tebbs and Powell, Chas.
Diefenbach Jewelry Store, George
Rupp Meat Market, Diefenbach's Coal
Company, Pottenger's Shoe Store,
Shafer Implement Company, Klaus
Harness Store, Tony Thurston Car
riage Company, Chas. Richter Black
smith, Holbrock Shoe Store, Howald
Hotel, Martindale Drug Store, the
Schwartz Drug Store, Volley Easton

pany have gone back to work under
the first contract negotiated between
the United Mine Workers of America
and a member of the Harlan County
Coal Operators Association. Of the
$4,000 miners in Harlan County, 5000
are now working. The contract calls
for standard union shop. The Creech
company had made no effort to work
under the protection of the militia.
1t is believed here that practically all
coal companies in the county will fol-
low this lead.

Auto Tag Money Due

Hamilton, Ohio.-More than half
of the $25O,000 estimated to be re-
ceived by Butler County from the sale

auditor, announced this week, when
he received notice an additional
$59,374 would be sent to the county
soon to make the total received here
this year $191,63 Most of the
money is being spent on county roads

Tax Rate Cut FOreseen

Collection of $8OO,ooO in delinquent
taxes since 1886 will be reflected in a
lower tax rate for 1910 in Butler
County, although operating costs will
not decrease, R. H. Smith, county au-
ditor, said this week, as he began
work OH the 1910 budget, estimated
at 100000. Treasurer John Wendel's
current campaign to collect personal
taxes is expected to spur the down
ward trend of the tax rate.

Lots of Americans are blissfully
unaware that they pay taxes.
Light on the number of these inno-
cents is given by the American Insti-
tute of Public Opinion, popularity
known as the Gallup poll.
The institute, headed by DR.. George
Gallup, questioned cross-section of
the voting population in all walks of
life, asking each individual whether
he or she paid taxes of any kind.
Although virtually every person
pays taxes, direct or indirect, the sur
vey indicated that 25 per cent or one
quarter of the population do not think
they are taxpayers.
These citizens are in the position
of being separated from their money
and not knowing it, which speaks well
for the painlessness of many of our
taxing methods.
Taxpayers and consumers organ
izations still have plenty of work to
do, if the Gallup poll accurately re-
fleets the public consciousness of tax
ation The tax consciousness cam
paign is apparently a considerable
distance from its goal.
The survey revealed that most of
the persons who are not conscious of
paying taxes are in the lower income
levels-the group earning less than
$40 week.
Yet recent studies show that
workers earning less than $40 a
week pay taxes of more than
500 a year.
These people probably contribute a
larger proportion of their income to
taxes than do better paid groups
In their case the taxation wind is
not tempered to the shorn lamb.
Il
If all taxes were direct, we'd ALL
be tax conscious.
But very large proportion of taxes
are indirect and included in the sell
ing price of articles we buy, hence
we don't realize they are there, un-
less we take the trouble to do little
investigating.
Food, clothing, housing-nearly ev-
erything consumed or used has it's
hidden tax or taxes. In some cases
there are dozen or more taxes on
one article.
Renters often say they pay no real
estate taxes. If they thought a mo-
ment, they would see the foolishness
of their statement.
If there were no real estate taxes,
their rents would be lower. The land
lord figures taxes as one of his costs,
to be covered by rents.
Renters of the nation, as a matter
of fact, are big payers of real estate
taxes.
That one-fourth of the nations pop
ulation is apparently unaware that
it pays taxes is a situation that is
hardly laughing matter.
Corrupt politicians may think it
funny and congratulate themselves
that so many "poor saps" don't know
they are being taxed.
Lack of tax consciousness plays
right into the hands of the dishonest

more reason why every citizen should
know how much he pays in taxes, how
and when he pays them and how the
taxation money is being spent.
Such tax consciousness would bene-
fit the whole nation and make for the
betterment of democratic methods
and practices.
