Columbus. o.. Feb. Ex-senator Will
liam N. Shaffer, of Paulding, Will
shortly introduce in the Ohio general
assembly bills to provide for the build
ing of a separate women's reforma-
tory, and to compel county officers to
limit their expenditures to the re-
ceipts of their offices.
The bill relating to county officers
will save the state $150.000 annually,
Tor under 1t they can no longer COM
pei the public to pay deficits when
che revenue of their offices does not
pay expenses. This measure will lin
1t clerk hire to certain percentage
OF office receipts, thereby compelling
officers to be economical.
The women's reformatory bill will
follow the recommendations of the
legislative committee which investi-
gated the feasibility of establishing
such an institution. All women now
sent to warehouses; will be sent to
che reformatory. A commission OF
state officers to serve without salary
instead of body of private individu'
ais to be compensated, will select the
site. This will result in large saw
ing. All of Senator Shaffer's meas
Ures preach the doctrine of economy.
He is largely responsible for the $27,'
900 reduction in the 1911 partial ap
propriation bill by the finance com
mittee, OF which he is chairman.
