FIGHT EXPECTED.
Effort to Be Made In Akron to
Decrease the Police Force
and Fire partment.

Akrcn, o., Oct 21.-When the city
council meets Monday night the ques-
tion of the city's finances will prob
ably cause fight. There is an effort
in some quarters to reduce the po-
lice force by twelve men and dis
charge about the same number of fire.
men. This will probably fail to larry,
as it is certain that any reduction of
the fire department will be met by in
creased insurance rates. The under
writer's are watching the situation
carefully and have arrangements
made to charge more for insurance
than the fire protection is now. cost
ing.
The effort to discharge city en-
ployes will hardly be successful. From
present indications matters will be
allowed to run in their present shape
until the legislature will legalize the
debts that are created and allow an
increase that will be in proportion to
other cities. This will raise enough to
pay expenses and discharge the in
debtedness. No time has been set to
hear the case to prevent the issuing
of bonds.

The coming session of the Ohio leg
islature is sure to have some important
work before it in the way of legisla-
tion. Many bills in which the people
of the state are vitally interested will
bob up during the session, and it is es-
sential that they be given consideration
by legislators who have the interests
of the people of the entire state at
heart When 1t comes to casting a
ballot at the coming election every vot-
er should think well what his act
means, and especially should he con-
slider it in connection with the candi-
dates for state representatives and
senators. The Ohio legislature has
been controlled by the Republican
party too long. Laws OF questionable
nature have been enacted, and the peo-
pie of Ohio have been witnesses to the
operation of many bills which they have
openly condemned. The next legisla-
ture of Ohio ought to contain some leg
islators selected from among the peo-
pie instead of from the ranks of those
representing interests that are sure
to make demands upon the legislature
for legislation to benefit them. The
voters will find that the Democratic
nominees for representatives and sena-
tors all over the state stand upon a
platform that declares for the inter-
ests Of the whole people as againat
the interests of the few.

Governor Nash in his speech at the

having ships to carry our merchandise
to foreign countries. But how is a
ship subsidy going to run the state ad-
ministration of Ohio? Will the affairs

better administered IL We have a ship
subsidy? Perhaps Governor Nash can
reason it out to his own satisfaction
that a subsidy and Governor Nash for q

good many people in Ohio, however,
who believe that Colonel Kilbourne
could administer the affairs of state
quite as successfully il not more so.
