argument that the measure was offer

chine have two purposes in view. One
is to impede the enactment into law
of every measure in Governor Har-
mons taxation program and thus pre-
vent the 10 tax rate bill from being
a success. Republicans realize that
II the measure proves to be workable
It will be @ boon to owners of tangi-
BILE property and that it will bring
great credit to Governor Harmon and
the Democratic party. Republicans
have forgotten the peoples interest
and are now fighting solely to OBJ
struct Democratic reforms.
The other purpose in fighting the
Edwards bill is to prevent destruction
of that powerful asset to the Repub-
Hcan state machine, the city boards of
review. Under the Todd bill, offered
for machine Republicans, the present
terms of the city boards of review
would be extended two years or until
after the expiration of Governor Har-
mons term.
The claim of Republicans that the
Edwards bill, which authorizes the
state tax commission to appoint dep
usy county tax commissioner in each
county in the state, will build up a
Governor has the power to remove a
member of the state tax commission
at any time he chooses simply by ask
ing for his resignation. Hence, if
there should be a Republican govern
or next time he need only to remove
only one of the Democratic members
of the state tax commission to place
control of that body in the hands of
Republicans, and thus all the county
tax deputies, who wouldn't jump at

party to perpetuate machine and to
prevent the 10 tax rate bill from be-

II the movement in Ohio for better
highways is given a black eye good
roads advocates should place the
blame on Republicans who are bitter
ly fighting a bill drawn by State High
way Commissioner Wonders to in
crease the efficiency of his depart
ment. The bill has been endorsed by
the Ohio Good Roads association.
From a Columbus Republican publici-
ty bureau articles have been sent to
Republican newspapers protesting
against the pending highway bill
which was offered by Senator Nc.
Guire. This article is the plain de.
claration that all good Republicans
should be opposed to this bill which
was drawn in the interest of the Ohio
Good Roads association.
Under the Mcclure bill the highway
commissioner would be given three
new deputies and four clerks, corps

Foreclosure Suit

Foreclosure SUIT
H. w. Anderson has commenced a
suit in the court of common pleas of
Knox county against Nellie M. Thayer,
asking for the foreclosure of mechan-
les lien. The plaintiff claims there is
due him the sum of s25.97, for labor
and material furnished in constructing

OF employees that Wonders has said
are absolutely necessary.


Opponents OF the central board OF
control bill for 10 state institutions,
designed by Governor Harmon to re.
move these Institutions from the bane-
full influence OF politics, can be found
in the rank OF the Republican party
only. Many Ohio Republican news
papers have gone on record against
the central board Of control bill, there
by placing their o. X. on the present
system which makes these institutions
a political football. The familiar cry
that the bill was drawn to enable
Governor Harmon to build up a polit-
ical machine has been raised. To sub
stantiate this article Republican pa
pers cite the provision which author
ICES the governor to appoint the CEN
trail board which will have control Of
the 10 state institutions. This is
ridiculous. The governor always has
appointed the heads Of these institu-
tions, and during Republican regimes
Republican papers neglected to critic
ize appointments. Why should It be
done now?

J. H. Laughlin, corporation fee clerk
for the state tax commission, has
been detailed to ferret out foreign and
domestic corporations which have
been escaping the Willis tax, and as
result the revenue OF the state is
expected to be increased several thous-
ands of dollars annually. In a few
days work last week in Toledo and
Tiffin Laughlin discovered several
corporation tax dodgers and as re-
suit s2,400 was returned against the
concerns. Nearly all Of 1t has been
paid into the state treasury. The ex-
pense of obtaining it was $21.

State Dairy and Food Commission
or Strobe realizes that the rigid en-
forcement of the new weights and
measure law will accomplish as much
good for the people as could be
brought about by concentrating his ef-
forts on any other feature of the work
in his department, and he has pre-
pared an amendment which will put
some teeth in the weights and meas
ures law. Under the existing statute
county auditors are made county seal
ers, but they have no authority to go
outside their Offices and inspect
weights and measures In use. Now
they only can test such articles as
are brought into their office--a very
weak provision. The amendment Of
fered by Strobe will authorize inspec-
tors to go out and ferret out users of
false weights and measures; to com
pei the installation of standard
weights and measures, while authori.
ty will be given to confiscate those
appliances which cannot be made to
conform with the law.

Governor Harmon again demon
strated that he is the farmers friend
when he signed the Cahill bill pro-
viding for the compulsory teaching of
agriculture in all rural and village
schools of the state. The common
wealth shall be divided into four agri-
cultural districts and the teaching of
agriculture in these will be under the
direction of a supervisor. Such a
measure was promised in the Demo
cratic state platform, and thus anoth-
er party pledge has been redeemed.
Warren G. Harding said that George
B. Cox, who has an engagement with
the criminal court down in Cincinna-
ii, is modest and manly" In the
light of recent developments we are
inclined to doubt the truth OF the
statement of the late lamented Re
publican gubernatorial candidate
about George B. Cox. We doubt
whether a man who is charged by q
legally constituted Ohio grand jury
with doing the criminal things laid
at the door of George B. Cox, possess
es the attributes of modesty and man
illness.

REFORM AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The Eugene Guard takes fling The Capital Journal for
what it c6nceives to be the truth as follows
The Salem Journal heartily in favor of increasing the
appropriation from the treasury for the state faat Sa
lem The speed contests should be brought to the high
est standard.
The paper very much opposed to squanderng the
taxpayers money upon free university where the boys
and girls may be educated, tuition free.
Etc. etc. end but everything but state the other fell
lows position correctly.
The Capital Journal had nothing to do with the fight on
the state university
The UReParson bunch not enthusiastic supporters OF
The Capital Journal personally politically otherwise.
university management has opposed all efforts the
part of The Capital Journal make that institution acceptable
to the people, and The Capital Journal has simply et it
alone"
The Capital Journal has conended for three things all of
which the awise university push and the awise Eugene
newspapers have opposed.
The Capital Journal demanded the of oneboard
of control of three for all the higher institutions of learn
ing
The Capital Journal demanded the removal of the medical and
law schools from Portland Eugene real university
The Capital Journal demanded that all persons attending the
state university pay tuition and make the institution more
nearly self-susaining
and would far to popular support for the Eu
gene school,
combined opposition Of the ppolitical push back of it.
That push fought all these reform propositions and there
The Eugene Guard is reminded that Governor West vetoed

The Eugene Guard takes the mistaken view that institutions

The Capital Journal does not believe in lavish apppropra

local affairs
But it the people want the other thing and long
the people not discriminate they will pay larger
Judge Gaoways decision printed in full in The Salem

gang that makes business of circulating referendum and
holding anything they take notion The whole business of
the hired crcuators of petitions is fraud just hiring
like Pason and URen to bring about reforms fraud
Real reforms must spring from the people In the way
the call for the nomination of any for important office
should from the people He should not be allowed to
spend to hire to circulate petitions to make
himself candidate by his efforts and for his benefit
No possible reforms proceed from such candidates. and the
Initiative and Referendum should not be invoked by the
of money put the hands of professionals If the people really
want for office and really want to take the referendum
they will start the movement and support it.
