Savlno to Taxpavers.

Senator William N. Shaffer OF
Paulding has a bill which will save
taxpayers $105,75240 through abuses
of the county officers salary law. 1t
will limit the amount which can be
allowed for clerk hire in each office.
The permissible amount will be
based on the fees collected in the of
fee. In some counties officials have
lacked an incentive and have been
negligent about collections. County
commissioners will continue to deter
mine the number of clerks and their
salaries and make clerk hire allow
ances, but cannot exceed the new
limits. Transfers of funds to meet
shortages in county fee funds will be
stopped absolutely. Shaffer has been
at work for weeks securing data show
ing the operation of the salary law
in all counties. Since the system was
established, the chief complaint has
been in small counties that expenses
were greater than under the fee sys-
TEN. In some of these counties the
number of clerks has been more than
doubled, and salaries have been
raised. Most of the big counties will
be permitted under the new plan to
spend more money for clerks than
they now do.

Stands by Central Board.

A stand-pat position on the central
board bill provision requiring use of
prison made articles by political sub
division was taken by Harmon. sim
ilarly determined stand against any
revision to the contract labor system
and any juggling with the Wertz law
was also adopted. The occasion was
the first tour of the penitentiary by
the special legislative investigation
committee, accompanied by Governor
Harmon, Adjutant General Weybrecht,
and Warden Jones. Every department
of the prison was inspected, including
the buildings now under construction.
That immediate relief must be granted
is now conceded by the committee, as
is the fact that the prison must either
be moved or the present institution
must be completely remodeled. Il
do not like the contract plan at all"
Governor Harmon told the committee
after the trip. "As long as the pris-
oners work they will have to compete
with some one. But it is rank non
sense to say that the industries of this
state are going to be upset by employ
ing 1000 men out here at making ar
ticles to be used in the political sub
divisions"

Days and Makes Favorable Re-
port to Department.

During the recent three-day phys
ical tests of army officers, Maj Gen.
Frederick D. Grant, commanding the
department of the east, tried out the
new emergency ration. General!
Grant carried three padkages, one for
each day, and returned with two Of
the packages unopened, having used
but one on the entire ride. The gen.
eral says he suffered no inconvenience
whatever and found the ration suffi-
cient in all respects. Outside of the
ration, General Grant took hot coffee
IN the morning without sugar or milk,
cold tea in the same way at noon,
and hot water in the evening. One
third of the ration was palatable and
sufficient during the 70 hours, and he
experienced no i'll effects or craving
for foods.
The new emergency ration is COM
posed of chocolate liquor, nucleo
castin, matted milk, dessicated egg,
sugar and cocoa butter. 1t is put up
in eight-ounce, light blue tin boxes
Each box contains three cakes, one
cake being sufficient for meal.

For woman's Reformatory.

Provision for woman's reformatory
is made in bill introduced by SEN
ator Shaffer. All women over 16, con-
victed of felonies other than first de-
gree murder, without recommends
ton for mercy, are to be committed
there. 1t will be unlawful to send
any female convicted of either felony
or misdemeanor to any Jail, work

law to apply. All female prisoners
at the penitentiary are to be transfer
red. The Cprison officials are to be
women, as far as possible. A board
of trustees is provided for temporar-
lily, but the institution will fall under
the provisions of the central board
bill should it become law. The in
stiution will be known as the Ohio
Women's Reformatory.

TO HONOR KANSAS SOLDIERS
Grand Army Post Of Clay Center, kan-
Starts Movement to Build
Suitable Monument.

In Kansas. the state which furnished
so many soldiers in the Civil war, very
few monuments have been built, and

However, within recent weeks the
Grand Army post of Clay Center, Phil
Sheridan post, has started a move
ment to erect in the court house
square in Clay Center a monument
to their comrades, and the work is
now we'll under way. 1t is planned to
spend about $4,000 or more on the
monument. The foundation already
has been put down and early in the
spring the monument will be built, the

Would Draft Autos.

A plan to make all private automo-

time of necessity was suggested by
Major General Frederick Dent Grant
in his annual report.
'It seems to me-" he says, that it
would be wise If the national govern.
ment passed laws that would cause
the registration of all automobiles
capable of transporting four or more
passengers, and that the owners Of
these machines be obliged legally to
transfer them, on demand, to the gov
ernment for military uses, for a sum
of money not greater than the original
cost of the machine.
IF this were done the government
would have at hand and without cost
to maintain, a means Of transporta.

troops"

245, and for the year ended Nov. 15,
