t9 curbea," said tho executive in a
message to tho general assembly. That
body obeyed and passed the Smith bill
whlcb limited tbo maximum tnx rate
tlint could bo levied by public ottlrers
In each district to 1 per cent or tnx
duplicates. That wan suillclcut, tin
governor held, for nu economical 11 d
ministration, it more money wen
needed there was incorporated in the
Smith bill n provision for a refcren
diiin veto on a Uljrher rn.
Then' wero n lnrp;o number of taxing
bonriln composed of vnrloua stnto olll
t-ciN with jurisdiction over excise nnd
oilier corporate taxation, but different
bonrdfi were tntide up of different olll
ceiB so tlint there could be nu uniform
nnil roimlKteiit action. Auditors In
elyiiiy-elKlil Ohio counties had nearly
eiuliiy tMghl (llirereni rules or npprnls
Hut property, with the result that no
one gut n mUiire deal.
(luvernor iiiirmon hud a bill drafted
to nbollHli nil tliene boards and to place
the entire taxing mnrblncry or the
commonwealth in the bands of a sin
glu state commission of three mem
bers. Other new tax laws make it
possible to cbaso out of hiding millions
of dollars of property and also strength
en and broaden the Inquisitorial pow
ers of I no state tnx commission.
Otilonns expected big things from
Judsou Unrmou when they elected him
their governor. The achievements of
tho Democratic general assembly show
tbo expectations of the people bave
been realized. He had been n leading
uttorney ror years, but n search or bis
record disclosed Harmon, whilo bo had
corporations among nls clients, bnd
never given 'bis talents to appear In u
court suit against tbo people As an
uttorney gcueral of the United 8tntcs
he had proved to ho n friend of the
people, lighting through court cases
whir!) established the foundation of all
Jurisprudence on the uuti-trust sub
ject In private life be was recognized
sb one of the ablest lawyers In Ohio.
In l'Ybriuiry, 1010, ten months beforo
tbo stnto election In Ohio, when Judson
Harmon would go beforo the people
for re-election, Ohio Republicans by or
der of President Taft held a harmony
meeting In Dayton. The Republicans
at Dayton did not talk of helping Pros
Ident Tnft or of restoring tho Itcpub
Mean party; they talked about the
chanre of defeating Governor Harmon,
and they did not talk hopefully. Un
consciously tbey paid a patent trlbnte
to tho real strength of the man. It
suddenly revealed the tremendous suc
cess or Uov em or Harmon and his com
plete mastery of the political situation
lu Ohio. The plan of opposition out
lined In Dayton has never censed. No
governor has ever been opposed by so
strong a force us Governor narmon.
During his first term of two years a
Republican general assembly to dis
credit blra reduced tho treasury bal
ance S.Oo'J.858 tW by maklug appropri
ations exceed revenues nnd also creat
ed obligations amounting to J-'.OOO.OOO
more by deciding to build new struc
Hires for stnto Institutions. When the
revenues were reduced $300,000 a year
by voting out saloons and several nun
dred thousands of dollars were added
to the wrong column by the ubollsb
uient of prison labor contracts Unr
mon's unna wero apparently tied, and
bis enemies laughed at bis discomfort
Tbo governor promptly reduced public
expenditures. Then, Instead of a gen
oral levy, the proper enforcement of
the excise laws provided J500.000 addi
tional every year. Tbo establishment
of a market for prison manufactured
goods uud the concentration ot author
ity over nineteen suite Institutions Is
oxpected to add another fftoo.txxi to
tbo stnto revenues. Thus was the sit
uation met uud tbo state restored to a
sound Uuanclal basis without any ad
ditional burdens bclug Imposed on the
peoplo who uro lenst nblo to bo furthor
taxed.
Voters llko to support clean and
able men, uh bas boon demonstrated In
many localities where tho electors dis
played remarkable discrimination in
honoring exceptional men with an ex
ceptlonal voto. This explains why in
a strongly Republican state Judson
Harmon was elected governor of Ohio
two years ago by a plurality of 10.372
in tho faco ot a Republican plurality
or 09.591 In tbo voto for president
On his record as govornor of tbo state
Judson Harmon was prepared to go
beforo tbo peoplo and ask re-election.
With precedent ngalnst blm, tho
election machinery against blm, with
the president of tbo United States, a
citizen of tbo same state, flghtiug him
for re-election nnd lu the faco of a
strong Republican sentiment to com
bat Governor Harmon nevertheless
was given a majority of 101.000.
Ohio repudiated ber fnvorito son,
1,'llllnm H. Taft, president of tbo
Uulied Stales. Governor Hurmon
won the greatest Democratic victory
In tho blstory of Ohio or of tho mid
dlo west, it was a crushing blow to
tbo president.
'There are somo things In Ohio mora
popular than tbo Taft smile One of
them is the Hon. Judson Harmon,
who will countenance no frills and
who sits on tho edge of a big table
tbat occupies tho center of the gov
ernor's reception room and cbuts witb
visitors "Common as an old sboe"
Is the way Ohio farmers slzo up their
governoi after they seo blm perched
on that table, Bwinglng bis feet and
bear him talk straight from the shoul
der. When bo was attorney general he ar
gued many cases beforo tho supremo
court argued thom well so well tbat
ho earned many deserving compliments
from beueh and bar. Among them,
and perhaps tho most noted, was tnut
of tho United States against the Trans
mlssouri Freight association. It was
tho first test ua to tbo efllclency of the
Sherman anti-trust law whet upplled
to prevent an Illegal combination of
railroads. Mr. Harmon won, and tho
combination went by tho boards.
Of a similar "v -"-
l
against tho Freight Traffic association
and the Addyston Pipo company. nat
mon was successful In both, and thus
was established tbo law as It stands
today.
There Is an odd scries of coinci
dences In the careers of Governor Unr
mon nnd President Taft Always Har
mon has followed Taft or Taft has
followed Harmon. Harmon resigned
ns Judgo in Ohio, nnd Taft took bis
pi nee. Then Mr. Taft becama solicitor
general of tbo United States. Hnrmon
followed blm to Washington as a cabi
net member. Will ho follow Tnft to
Washington again?
Governor Harmon was born in Now
town, Hamilton county, O.. Fob. a.
1810. nnd be therefore la lu nls sixty
fifth year. One not acqunlnted with
this fact would take blm to be no moro
than flfty-tlvc, He is Just as vigorous

no was for years pitcher in n nine
composed of business men who mot
ovcry Saturday afternoon out In tbo
suburbs or tbo Queen City to try dia
mond conclusions with teams from
other localities. Judson Harmon nev
er missed a game while be was in
town. Ho would go to tho ball flcld,
shed his coat and collar and wado In
und pitch nlno straight Innings witb
all the vigor of a big leaguer.
Mr. Harmon's father was a Raptlst
minister, nnd from htm bo received bis
early education. In 1800 bo graduated
from tbo liaptlst collcgo ut Dcnison,
Licking county, and in 1S02 tho school
honored blm with the degrco or LL. D.
Ho attended the Cincinnati Law school
and graduated In 1UUU.
Mr. Harmon's tdcu or what .Dcmoc
racy should do can bo summed up In
the closing words or an interview
which bo gave, as follows:
"1 take it tbnt tbo truo platform ot
tbo Democracy 1b the preservation to

mon man tho man wbo bas not might
or wealth to twist tho current of
events to suit himself, to observe to

tlon, to ndtnluister tho government eco
nomically and In doing tbnt to levy
only the nmouut or tnxes. direct or
through a tariff, which will meet tho
ex tienses of tbo government
"Aw I 11 believer In the incomo tnx?"
said the governor In response to 11 ques
tion. "Most nssuredly," bo continued,
"Without such n tax tbo expenses of
the federal government, wblcb now
junount to n billion dollars per year,
cannot be fairly distributed. Tbey aro
now collected by tariff und other taxes
on consumption, nnd the enormous
vested wealth ut the couutry escapes
A few stiiies have undertnken to tax

tie success Changes of legal residence
aro too easy to make. The elllctency
or a federal Income tax has born
proved Tho levying of one would help
sccuro tbo lowering of tnrlfT taxes, so
greatly uud generally desired, while
tbo people will watch moro closely
what is done with their money wbcu
tbey know they aro paying taxes and
bow much."
