QUESTION
Of Tuition Regarding Fred.
eflCktOWn Schools
(Mt. Gilead Register)

Attorney General penman Of Ohio
recently forwarded to this county an
opinion which is important in con.
nection with the payment of pupils
tuition when one school board enters
INTO contract with another. The at
torney generals opinion was called
forth by situation. which existed in
Morrow county. 1t seems that the
Franklin township board of education
made contract with the board at
Chosterville whereby the Patterson
graduates of franklin township were
to be schooled in the Chesterville
schools. Afterwards, three pupns from
franklin township attended the Fred
ericktown schools, ana now the ques-
ion arises as to whether Franklin
township is bound to pay the tuition
in such case and whether 1t has the
authority to do so IL it SO desires. The
attorney general says: Should pu-
pill reside within three miles of the
nigh school designated by such con-
tract he must attend that high school,
hut should he reside more than three
Lilies from such designated high school
and attend high school that is furth-
er away from his place of residence
thar the designated high school, then
mis- board of education is not required
to pay his tuition.+ The board of
education is limited in its power to
make such arrangements to high
schools located in the same civil town
ship or adjoining township" AS to
whether or not the Franklin township
board would be allowed to pay the
Cuitlon under the circumstances the at
lorney general says that while the law
IS not plain on that point, the board
may do so "if the circumstances are
such as to justify it,"

Rogers last June there we're some
20 cases pending, out Of which the
department got about six convic-
tions. In other cases, which had
been permitted to get 80 old that evil
dence got scattered or lost, left the
state or not sufficient evidence had
been obtained to convict, there we're
several acquittals, several cases were
nolled, and @. few are still carried
on the docket. OF the 81 convictions
secured by Mr.. zuber, all but the
half dozen before mentioned were
cases that were developed from the
beginning during his period of SER
vice and he had 26 cases pending at
the end of the year.
Mr.. Zuber enters upon the present
year with an available fund of &c.,
$50. which Is nearly $4,000 less than
nogers began with in 1909, but the
Office for the whole of 1910 will be
conducted on the Harmon-Zuber

(By Orwell G. Riddle.) }

Columbus, o., JAM 19.-Once
more the state fire marshal's Office
comes to the front with figures to
the governor by John w. Zuber, pre-
sent fire marshal, showing receipts
and expenditures and results obtain
ed during the year 1909. Therefore
the figures are official, and neither
w. S. Rogers nor Hy Davis can re-
flute them.
1t must be borne in mind that Gov
Harmon removed Rogers last June
on the charge of extravaganza and
put Zrber In his place. Rogers,
therefore, had five months and zub-
er seven months of the year.
At che beginning of the year the
available fund for the whole year
was $69,302. In five months Rogers
spent $30,S53, an average of $6,170
per month. At the same raIio, if
Rogers had continued in the office.
there would have been a deficit OF
over $4,700 at the year of the year.
During the last seven months of
1909 Zuber spent $31 ,456, an aver
age of $4,493 per month, a monthly
saving of $1,676, and at the end OF
the year Zuber turned into the state
treasury a balance of $6,991. The
same ratio of economy throughout
the year would have reduced the ex-
penses of the department $4,000
for the whole year.
Comparing the first five months
of 1909 with the same period OF
1908, when d. S. Creamer was fire
marshal, Mr.. Zuber shows that ex-
pepsss under Rogers were about ST.
600 per month more than under
Creamer, in which comparative per-
iods Creamer had 33 convictions and
, Rogers only 10.
1t was this unfavorable showing
which led to the removal of Rogers
by Governor Harmon. The saving
of over $1,000 per month in the pas,
seven months by zuber Is additional
confirmation of the governors bust
ness Judgment in making the
change.
The results under Zuber's admin
istration as compared with results
under Rogers are still more unfavor-
able to Rogers. During the first five
months of 1909 Rogers secured 19
convictions; whereas in seven
months Zuber secured 81 convic.
tions, with practically the same totaI
expenditure, and had over $4,000
left at the end of the year to turr
into the state treasury.
Nor can 1t be claimed In behalf oi
Rogers that the comparison is unfair
because of the two periods not be
ing the same. The records will show
that during the last seven monts Of
1908 Rogers secured only 13 convic
tions compared with 81 by Zubel
during the last seven months ol
1909, almost A to / in Zuber's favol
during the same comparative period

BEAT ENI TO n.

Beats all how Democratic officials
get right down to bed rock on what
IS legal and what isn't in their charg-
es for official expenses.
Whether it is legal for a public Of
fetal who does not reside in Colum-
bus to charge railroad fare for trips
back and forth between his home and
the capital, and also expenses while
in the city, was put to Attorney Gen
eral Denman for an official opinion.
The attorney general has ruled chat
such expenses are not legal.
The ruling will effect all state Of
ficials who have not moved their
families to Columbus, w. e. Has
well of Bucyrus, recently appointed
by Governor Harmon to the Office of
examiner of steam engineers, found
that such charges were made by his
predecessor, w. e. Kennedy of Gin
cinnati. He had some doubts about
it, and that brought the matter to
a focus. State Fire Marshal Zuber
asked for a special ruling as some Of
his trips home were combined with
official business.
1t is claimed that the precedent
was established by former state audi
tor w. S. Guilbert, that inveterate
watchdog of the treasury who was
exceedingly careful not to Issue war
rants on the state treasury without
a special ruling by the courts for
such doubtful expenses as probing
Cincinnati, for instance. 1t is said
that when Hy Davis became fire mar
shall he asked Guilbert if he could
make such charges in his expense
account and was permitted to do so.
1t was all right when all officials
were Republicans. Since then other
state officials followed the example
and tn, custom became general.
Now it develops that former At
torney General Ellis was not asked
for an opinion on the legality of such
charges. Guilbert's opinion was
good enough of course. For WASH t
Guilbert head of the department
which sent expert accountants all
over the state to find everything all
wrong in Democratic counties and
everything lovely in Republican
counties until the discrimination be-
came a state scandal?
The rectifying of this matter,
though comparatively small item
in contrast with other public ex-
penses, can also be set down to the
credit of a Democratic state admin
istration that Is bringing to public
attention the increased cost of gov
ernment along with the increased
cost Of living. Democratic officials
furnish the information and Rep
ublican attorney general furnished
the opinion. Both are entitled to
credit for arriving at the. same con-
clusion but it was the Democrats
who "got thar fust."
Shows that Ohio needs more Dem.
ocratic officials at Columbus. Don't
forget 1t next November, the appoint
ed time for clean sweep.
