WHY THEY HANG ON.

We are told that a number of the
inspectors in the state department
OF workshops and factories talked
with the leaders of the Republican
state organization and an under
standing was reached to fight any at
tempt to put them out of their Of
fice."
This department. changed hands
June l6, more than q month after
the expiration of the term of John
W. Morgan as chief inspector, and
now the appointees of Morgan want
10 hang on until April 30, 1911.
How Is that for peanut politics"
and the lust for Office" about which
apologists for the state Republican
machine have been prating for weeks.
i'hats the way Rogers talked before
ne was fired out of the office of fire
marshal. That's the way all the
lap-overs from the Harris administra-
tion agreed to do to embarrass Gov
ernor Harmon's administration. That's
why the Republican senate made
haste to confirm the Hulris lap-overs
a week before the Inauguration of
Governor Harmon. That's why Nor
ris still claims ne is entitled to SIT
as one OF the members of the state
railroad commission.
So the Office employees follow the
example OF their superior and want
to hang on too.
Who was it the employees of the
former inspector of workshops con-
suited and with whom they reached
an understanding TO resist removal
with the leaders of the Republi-
can state organization" says a Re-
publican paper. Which explains ey-
erything. One OF these leaders
is Phipps, and Phipps is still hang
ing on TO the Office of oil INSPECTOR
although the governor asked him for
his resignation more than a month
ago.
such a spectacle ought to silence
the Republican papers that have
been yelping peanut politics" and
lust for office" at Governor Harmon
No wonder the people of Ohio who
believe in clean politics, good gov
eminent and fair play are more de-
termined than ever to make IL ''Har-
mon and a clean sweep next time.

THE STATE LOSES.

Out OF the several old claims
amounting to nearly $4,000 for con-
lvict labor at the penitentiary which
the prison books show was never paid
by contractors, the half has already
evaporated.
n Those accounts were certified by
the new penitentiary board to the at
torney general, whose. duty 1t is to
collect them. An attache of the at
torney generals Office, after exam
ing the accounts. reports that one
OF the contracting firms and all its
securities, against whom there is a
claim for $4,000 are insolvent and
Lat the claim is uncollectable.
SO it goes. Half of the amount due
the penitentiary under former control
absolutely worthless.
That is quite loss for the state
of Ohio to bear in the management
of one institution. Why was this
worthless claim left so long on the
books? Why was it not found out
sooner that claim for $4,000 due
the state from one concern was uncol-
iectaDle because all the parties to the
contract were insolvent?
Only a few weeks ago number
OF Republican papers were twitting
Governor Harmon because he talked
about graft and rottenness" during
the campaign last fall but had been
unable to find anything wrong any
where since his Inauguration. Let
them tell their readers about these
unpaid claims at the penitentiary.
Let them tell their readers about the
graft uncovered in the fire marshal's
Office. Let them tell their readers
about the scandals at the Athens hos
pital and Delaware home for girls
necessitatlng a change in manage
ment.
And we have had only six months
OF housecleaning at the state house
1t was time for change, wasn't It?

TAXATION

Continued from Page One.)
The officers of the Anti-Salon league
see in a constitutional convention the
only possible chance the liquor inter-
ests have to bring about the submis-
sion OF an amendment legalizing the
liquor traffic. Officers of the league
express themselves as entirely salts
fled with the present constitution.
which does not recognize any right to
deal in intoxicants. They cite this
when asked as to their stand on the
proposed constitutional convention.
The Direct Legislation league Is out
In the open vigorously fighting the
convention.
we are opposed to a constitu-
tional convention because we know
we can do far better at the hands of
the general assembly" says Herbert
Bigelow, head of the league. 1--WE are
now ready for another legislative
campaign and confidently expect the
next session to pass the initiative
and referendum resolution"
An attempt TO repeal the Rose
county option law will be included
among the big Legislative fights of
the coming session. The liquor inter-
ests, the Personal Liberty league and
similar organizations are now work.
ing early and late toward this end.
The Legislative captains in the liquor
trade profess great confidence that the
tide has turned and the Rose bill will
be repealed by substantial majority
in both branches.
The county option bill will never
be repealed by an Ohio Legislature,
not in a million years." says Wayne
b. Wheeler. superintendent Of the
Anti-saaoon league.
