JUVENILEGRMGE IS NOT SUPERSTITIOUS EXISTING TAX LAWS HARDSHIP ON PUBLIC Under the "Uniform" Statute In Force At Present Only a Few Classes of Property Carry the Burden, Declares W. M.

NAMES OF THE OFFICERS Sponsored By The Woman's Club of North Canton, It Is To Be Held On Monday Evening In Zion Reformed Church Hall— Attorney Souers Will Speak. What is considered by a goodly number of the members as a red letter day in the history pf Lake Grange occurred Thursday evening at Union- town when the culmination of years of anticipation was brought about in the organization of a Juvenile Grange. Less than a. month ago the Juvenile committee was appointed. In that time 13 members for this—Stark county's newest "baby" grange— were secured. Thursday evening, during the regular session of Lake grange, the organization and installation was conducted by county organizer Almyra Pontius. Having previously been selected to oversee and conduct the new organization, Miss Alma Gillespie of North Canton assumed the office of matron, while she will be ably assisted by Mrs. Ralph Bowers of Uniontown.

Nomination for officers for the year 1930 will take place on Thursday ever ning, November 14. "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 HELP THE BLIND North Canton Womejk Will Sell Goods In Can tomjS tore. - .. -. ; I North Canton Wjpmen, including Mrs. R.

Willaman Gives Figures To Show That the Aim of the Board of Education Is For More Efficiency Among Pupils and Teachers in Buildings. PRAISES MIDDLEBRANCH MILLER'S GREAT RUN WINS FOR CASHNERS a rapidly growing country, shifting from an agricultural to industrial life. "Years ago when the biggest thing was agriculture, this system worked. 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; and the tax applied to the kind of property or possessions most people owned—fa.rm land and stock. Some Facts Quoted "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 taxation has been voted on 10 times and at least five times passed, but because of legal red tape it never went into action. This election time the red North Canton Lad Raced 62 Yards For the <Only Touchdown of the Game With the Carroll Inns of Louisville. IN LOUISVILLE, SUNDAY APPLE CROP IS SCARCE Light, Yield Causes Shortage of Cider and Farmers. Are Buying Fruit. LESLIE HANSON TO SING The Women's club of North Canton will sponsor the mother and son banquet on Monday night, Nov. 4, in Zion Reformed church. Cards have been sent out to' members and all mothers are urged to bring their sons or to adopt one for the evening. Reservations must-be made by Friday evening. Tickets are $1 each which includes both mother and son or 50c per plate. From advance information received by The Sun, the banquet will be a success. Attorney Souers To Speak Attorney Loren E. Souers of Canton has been secured as guest speaker and as Mr. Souers is well acquainted ..with the desires and ambitions of boys and knows from experience how to meet their demands an interesting evening is promised.- Mrs. Souers will accompany him as a guest of the club. Leslie D. Hanson will be the soloist. Mr, Hanson is the possessor of a fine tenor voice. Mrs. Hanson will also be a guest. Garments For Orphans On Tuesday afternoon Naomi Class of Ziori Reformed Sunday-school made thirty-five garments for the ~ 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. COUNTYHJTCLUBS The Hoover camp will be the scene of a gathering of Stark county Hi-Y clubs on Tuesday night, Nov. 5, when members from North Canton, Louisville, Minerva, Canal Fulton. Beach City, Waynesburg and other cities and towns nieet here. The occasion is the address by J. C. Greiner, Y. M. C. A. secretary in Latvia, on the Baltic sea. The speaker is spending only two days in Cashner Motors football team will play the Harrisburg Inns of Louisville in Louisville on Sunday afternoon. The game is scheduled to start at 2:30. Fans will remember that Cashners lost to the Harrisburg Inns on Sept 29, in North Canton, the score being 19 to 0.

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.
