Mr.. Canty voted against the Re-
corders Salary Grab bill, bill that
passed both houses, and was vetoed
by Governor Harmon. That bill, to
have become law, would have cost
the State .$l50,000, and the money
would have gone into the pockets of
the already over-fed Office holders Of
the big counties.
He voted against the bill raising
the salary of the first assistant At
torney General from $4,000 to $4,000.
That bill passed both houses, and will
probably be vetoed by the Governor.
He voted against the appropriation
of $400, GOO for the canals of Ohio, be-
cause the expense of maintaining the
canals costs 100000 more than the
income.
He voted for the Crist bill to fur
ther provide against liquor "boot-leg-
ging' in dry territory and for the sp-
pointment of secret service men in
dry counties to secure evidence to
convict violators Of the Rose County
Local Option Law, and to prevent the
soliciting of orders for intoxicating
liquors in dry territory, The bill
passed both houses, and willDo doubt
be signed by the Governor.
lie voted for the bill to provide for
competitive bidding by the different
banks for the deposit OF the state
funds. State Treasurer Creamer call
ed for the competitive bidding of all
the deposits of the state funds and
secured for the state an additional
$4,000 interest in cash, and the
law that Mr., Canty voted for was to
make the competitive bidding COM
pulsory This bill was defeated in
the Senate.
lie voted to repeal the Legislators
II cents mile transportation law,
and he would not accept the II cents
per mile. Mr.. Canty says his actual
expenses are all any man should ask,
going to and from Columbus. This
bill passed both houses.
Mr.. Canty was enthusiastic in the
Legislature fayoring the resolution
petitioning congress to pass more
stringent laws against foreign pauper
labor, so as to protect our American
workmen. This resolution passed
both houses.
These were the principal bills be-
fore the Legislature this session, and
we are frank TO say that we believe
that Mr. Canty has kept his word and
stood by the people In his first session
of the Legislature, and we congrat-

l. Municipal corporations are primarily
created to perform the functions of local
government, but they are also created as
agencies of the state for governmental
?. So far as the prohibition of section
of article u Of the constitution relates
to municipal corporations. it was intended
thereby to prevent the legislature from
comforting upon cities and towns corporate
powers to be exercised in the performance
of the functions for which they were prim-
arily created, and was not intended to re-
strict the power of the legislature in Sc
powers in the accomplishment Of a gov

and not its form. Where the legislature
enacts a law in the accomplishment of
