How Trovinger Voted.

The people of Ohio are compelled
to pay to the school book monopoly,
which consists in two or three publish
ing houses three millions dollars per
year Of a profit. This immense sum
has to be paid by those who have
children to educate. Mr.. Perkins
proposed to relieve the people from
this unjust burden and introduced q
bill in the Legislature to have the
school books printed by the State and
delivered to the School Boards at cost.
The School Book Monopoly went to
work to defeat the bill, and spent
Thousands of dollars TO accomplish it.
Mr.. Trevinger voted against the peo-
pie and in favor of the Monopolists.
Senator jackson introduced q bill
TO allow the Board of Education of
New straitsville to issue bonds TO
build school house. The bill come
up before the House and Trovinger
lodged It. The only reason he could
have for 80 doing was that the dele.
gates from Coal and Saltlick voted
against him in the Democratic conven.
ton.
Trovinger voted in favor of the dis
elimination of freight bill. This bill
allows Railroad companies to charge
private individuals from one halt tc
to two thirds more for car than they
do corporations. Trovinger travels on
. free pass over the Railroads and
votes In their interest.
We ask our readers to think owe,
these matters and vote as their con.
science dictates.

FOURTH DISTRICT COURT.
DECISION BY JUDGE HOUSTON.

City of New Orleans vs. Odd Fellows Hall
Association.-In this case the evidence shows
that about one-half of the building is used ex-
clusively and absolutely" for the charitable
objects OF the association. The claim of the city
for taxes should. therefore. be reduced one
half. The fact that the revenues OF the other
half of the building are used for charitable pur-
poses would not exempt that half from taxation
under the law. II is only the portion of the
building that is used by the association itself or
its branches that Is exempt from taxation
