The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1906-02-13

He will introduce a bill providing
that no person shall be employed to
teach in any public school for a sal
airy of less than $40 month for a
term of at least eight months in the
year
Any school district not having suf
ficient money to pay the required $40
month for the full term of eight
months, when the full maximum tax
levy authorized by law shall have
been made, shall have the deficit paid
from the state treasury, upon Motif
cation to the county auditor. who
shall certify the condition to the
state auditor.
Only three designations of Repub-
licans holding state Offices have been
received by Governor Pattison, while
hundreds of applications from Re-
publicans who wished to hold their
places have been forwarded to him.
There probably are 1000 officers
and employees of state institutions,
members of boards, cts, now holding
employment as Republicans. That
so small a number of them should
have placed their designations in the
hands of the incoming administration
is rather out of proportion.
The simple fact that a public Of
fetal hands in his resignation upon
the advent of a new administration
does not of necessity imply that he
prefers not to serve longer. 1t sim
ply is a courtesy that often is ex-
tended to the new governor, even if
he be of the same politics as the
hold-over official.
1t is regarded as somewhat signifi-
cant that those officials who have for
warded their designations are gentle
men whose services really are valu-
able to the state. Governor Pattison
has not intimated his intentions in
any of their cases, but it is under
stood that they represent class of
! public servants whom the governor
would not be unwilling to have re-
main in office.
A veritable cyclone of applications
| for appointments to public employ
ment has blown down upon Governor
| Pattison, as a natural result of the
change in the politics Of the state
administration. Secretary Houck has
| kept a force of stenographers busy
tabulating these applications alpha
betically, and answering the letters
accompanying them.
Systematic methods have been fol
lowed through out, and he is able to
turn at an instant's notice to the list
of applications for any particular
place, whether it be for an import
ant trusteeship or a clerical place in
one of the departments.
| The committee on fees and salaries
| has agreed upon a bill for prosecu-
ting attorneys.
| 1t is a straight salary bill, based on
the population of the county. 1t
ranges from $1,000, the minimum, to
| $4,000, the maximum.
According to this schedule the
Franklin county prosecutor would get
$4,000, the maximum rate.
Chairman Huey will remain over
this week to work ON other bills and
subcommittee of the committee
have been engaged for several days
on prospective measures. Mr.. Huey
says he believes the subject can be
taken in hand next week, and bills
for several offices may be reported
out
| The Jones bill, which is calculated
to take the place of the Brannock
law, will be amended so as to take
out the word Exclusively" This
word made it impossible to designate
as business property any block in
which there are tenants living.
| The bill will be re-introduced, as it
was originally introduced by another
than the member whose name it
bears. This might be considered
technical ground to attack it in the
courts, hence no chances will be ta-
ken by the Anti-saloon league, which
is fathering the measure.
Another amendment will be to ex-
clude as business property any prop
erty that has more than so per cent
of living apartments.
| Senator Schmidt of Cleveland, will
introduce a bill appropriating 10000
for a state normal school at Berea, O.
Senator Pollock, Stark county, in
troduced a bill providing that the
boards of trustees of all state insane
asylums shall be bipartisan and
consist of six members.
A bill was introduced by Senator
Carter providing that beneficial asso-
Citations shall not change their poll
cies without the written consent of
the assured and that where there is
an increase in assessments the in
