MARDI GRAS PARADE
WILL BE COLORFUL
Residents of North Canton Are
Going To Put On Costumes of"
Many Styles and Shapes For
the March In Harman Street
On Thursday Night.
PRIZES   OF   MUCH   VALUE
It was on October 30, 1923, that the
first Mardi ^Gras was held in North
Canton, and sqi-successful was it that
every year since that date it has been
repeated, much to the pleasure of
adults and children. The social committee of the Community Building
stands behind this annual celebration,
find in all truth isjnust be acknowledged that.it "puts it across'-'—to quote
a popular ."saying—"according to
Hoyle."
This year the'fun promises to be
just as lively as in former days, and
as it is a free show in which hundreds
of the best people in North Canton
and its vicinity take part, it may
rightfully be called the People's Own
Party. <
.Free Motion Pictures
Not many cities are having free motion pictures, and especially those
which fit in with the Halloween spirit.
The Community Building will be host
to all caring to cpme during the presentation of the Stirring picture, "The
Bat." ', a  -■
Date of picture showing has been
advanced to Thursday night to accommodate the Halloween-crowds. There
will be no show on Friday night. Building officials are asking people to remember* that the shp'/is free.
"The Bat" is a'obmedy drama by
Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery
Hopwood, fronr the stage play produced by Wagennals . and Kemper.
The picture is a creepy, ghostly show
that fits right in the Halloween season of gobblihs and "spirits." Among
the thrills are the raided, bank, the
haunted halls, the hidden chamber,
the flitting Omen of 111; the ghostly
shades, the disguised strangers and
the hysterical maid, combined with
hundreds of other fitting scenes and
situations.
The night will be one long to be remembered: The Mardi Gras will be
held on Harman street'"and the parade
will start promptly at 7:30, headed by
the famous Hoover band. Last week
and on Oct. 16 The Sun carried the
prizes, the donors, and the rules
governing the parade.
Many Prizes Offered
Some excellent prizes are being offered and it'will be well worth the
time of the people hereabouts to
' dress their worst or best, as the occasion may be. Merchants are donating prizes sure to please.
It is after the prizes are awarded
that the free picture will be shown in
the Community Building.
There a will be all kinds of prizes
from singles to groups and from elaborate to most wretched. In fact,
practically every kind of costume is
represented in the prize list.
As announced last week, a competent list of judges will pass on the
costumes. They include Mrs. M. E.
Kolp, chairman; Mrs. W. M, Harding,
Mrs. H. E. Schiltz, J. E. Gross, Mrs.

"Uniform taxation," the present
system that is driving corporations
out of the state and is placing an
unfair burden on certain assets and
neglecting taxes on others, must go,
according to W. M. Thomas, chairman
of the Stark County Tax League, Inc.,
who spoke before an interested gathering of North Canton taxpayers on
Wednesday night in the Community
Building.
"Uniform taxation," the speaker
said, "does not mean that it is uniform.   Far from it!   This system of
taxing people- has been in force for it Was Nip and Tiick Until the
years and it has not kept pace- witty. r

"Years ago when the biggest thing

It actually taxed where tax belonged.
There were no big block of stock owned by various individuals; not as
many people had big bank accounts;

"From tangible wealth the change
has been to intangible. The uniform
tax rule is not reaching this intangible
wealth which is escaping taxation.
In the last 40 years the change of

Garments For Orphans
On Tuesday afternoon Naomi Class

Wayne Orphans' Home.
Apple butter making in The Sun's
territory took a decided slump this fall
because of the shoi-tage of apples.
Frosts this spring ruined the crop and
farmers who want cider ancl apple
butter have had to buy from a few
more fortunate people.
This is the season for apple butter
making and many farmers are at
work. As a rule, the women are doing
the work while the men attend to
corn husking and other farm chores.
This writer for The Sun observed
at least one practical invention for
apple butter .making not for from
North Canton. Instead of the conventional paddle and long handle, the
farmer was using an ingenious system
of cogs and gears to do the work better.
A heavy piece of wood connected
the sides of the kettle. A gear, placed
flat with the top of the board was
made to turn by means of another
gear attached to a steel rod, on the
end of which was a handle. By turning the handle the rod revolved, turning the gear - attached to the paddle
in the apple butter and labor was
saved all around. More uniform stirring, more comfortable work ancl less
of it, the farmer said.

What Is Needed
"What is needed is a classification
system where everything- is' classified
so that there is no chance for an
escape. This system would remedy
many of the taxation evils naw plainly evident in our state's methods.
"Kentucky, which recently adopted
the classification rule, is an example.
Having the same system our state had
until 1917, this state changed over and
saw the growth of large industries and
the increase of wealth as a result. Industry objects to being taxed enough
to make „up for what escapes taxation
and who can blame it?"
Answers Questions
After describing what the league
hoped to do, Mr. Thomas gave his
listeners an opportunity to ask any
kind of question. Several persons
availed themselves of the offer to
learn just what might be accomplish
ed.
One man asked if the amendment
.repealing the uniform rule would institute a new law. The answer was
that all the amendment did was _ to
do away with uniform taxation, giving
the legislature a chance to draft new
and better systems. A 15 mill limit
on real estate ancl improvements is
the only stipulation carried in the
amendment. Once out of the way
with uniform taxation, tbe state's law
making body can make other laws.
Asked how it would be possible to
learn from banks what deposits were
carried, the speaker said that the state
could requh-e banks to furnish a list
of their depositors. Other questions
along the same lines were asked.
Mayor Logan W. Becher acted as
local chairman and introduced the
speaker.
CHURCH MEN ACTIVE
Junior Class of Zion  Reformed  Has
Two Big Events In November.
The aim of the Plain Township
School Board is to provide the best
schools for the children of Plain
township school district. Each year
the annual enrollment is increased by
about 12%', per cent. This means an
additional cost of about 12 V4 per cent,
for the current expenses. To offset
this difference so that the tax rate remains practically the same from year
to year, there is an increase in the
tax valuation of the school district.
The enrollment for the entire township for the month of September was
1023, which was distributed among the
various schools as follows: Middle-
branch including the high school 243;
Edgefield, 295; Avondale, 101; Plain
Center, 70; Pleasant View, 180;
Pleasant Grove, 24; Grove Hall, 76;
White Hall, 34.
Three of the smaller schools.of the
township have been consolidated during the present year. Both Franklin
Hall and White Hall schools are now
being transported to Plain Center.
This arrangement adds considerable to
the efficiency of the school work at
that place dividing the work of the
eighth grade among three teachers
and making the total enrollment for
that place 104. Mrs. L; S. Hurt is
the new teacher employed for this
school.
Fine School At Middlebranch
The high school at Middlebranch
now has an enrollment of 65 which is
an increase of 16 over the total enrollment for last .;year. This school
under the leadership of Prof. E. S.
vHawkins boasts of making the most
rapid advancement of any of the high
schools of the county.
A first grade charter has been received and the school is in every respect modern. A commercial course
has been added this year ancl the
boys and. girl« that attend this school
now have the advantage of taking
bookkeeping or short-hand and typewriting. This department is under

Tuesday, Nov. 5, is election day, and
to ' the people of North Canton and
Stark county it is an important election. In North Canton a Mayor, full
Council and other officers are to be
chosen, also members of the School
Board.
Then there is the question of a
courthouse in Canton. The County
Commissioners ask the people for five
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for the purpose of building an addition to the present structure.
The Sun published two letters, on
this subject. Attorney 'Russell J. Burt
of Canton ancl North Canton denounced the proposition, while on the
other hand, Price Janson, president of
the Stark County Bar association,
favored the bond issue. As both letters fully covered the situation this
newspaper, is going to leave that
question to the voters.
The Tax Limit Amendment
But there is one issue the people
ought not overlook and that is the
Tax Limit Amendment. If passed it
will correct a disgraceful situation
through which, for many years, thousands of Ohioans have been virtually
robbed. The duty of the voter is plain.
Vote for "the Tax Limit Amendment!
It is not a political question, and it
has the endorsement of the best minds
in all political parties.
Judge of Municipal Court
Then there is a Judge of the Muni- <
cipal Court to be chosen.    Attorney
Gould is an able ancl upright man ancl
if elected will bring to the Bench wisdom and fairness.
It is. the duty of every qualified elector to Vote on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Look
the ticket over several times, ancl
make up your mind whether you want
North Canton, Stark county and the
state to go ahead or go backward.
