Banks Reflect Prosperitx.

Y The comptroller's report on the con-
dition of national banks of Ohio out
side of the reserve cities at the time
of the last call, November 26, indicates
an unusually prosperous condition
throughout the state. At that time
there was on deposit by individuals in
the national banks of the state 1884,
739,372.S4. The loans and discounts
amounted to $178,3S5, ,611.73, and total
resources to 1902, 2,S44,0O624.' The per-
centage of legal reserve to deposits
was 16.43. These figures form very
favorable contract compared with last
year, when the report shows the fol-
lowing totals: Individual deposits,
$185, ,976, ,0S9.67; loans and discounts,
$170, ,27601; total resources, $780,
$40, ,473.61. The percentage of legal
reserve to deposits a year ago was
1897. These figures do not include
Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland
banks, those being reserve cities, but
embrace all other national banks in
the state The increase of nearly &c.
100000 in individual edposits in one
year is especially significant, as it
shows a widespread condition Of pros
perity.

man, health officer of Mansfield,
is conducting campaign to make the
city a healthier one. He has issued
"the ten commandments of good citi-
zenship," and in order that they may
always be in front of the resident, he
has had 5000 calendars on which they
are printed distributed. They are;
Thou shalt honor thy city and
keep it's laws.
2-Remember thy cleaning day and
keep it wholly.
3-Thou shalt not keep thy windows
closed day or night.
4-Thou shalt keep in order thy al
ley, thy backyard, thy hall and thy
stairway.
5-Thou shalt not let the wicked
fly live.
6-Thou shalt bear witness against
thy neighbor's rubbish pile.
7-Remember to report contagious
and infectious disease.

Urge Removal of Tax Limit.

Columbus.-Repeal of the tax limi-
tation in the Smith one-per cent law
was urged in conditions adopted by
the Ohio School Improvement Fedora
ton. The local tax levy in any school
district for all school purposes in any
year, under the present law, cannot
exceed five mills on the dollar of val
uation of taxable property. This,
school men declare, is insufficient.
Amendment to the Smith law so as
to provide for the appointment of a
person conversant with educational af-
fairs and school needs as member
of the budget commission also was
recommended. The law now consti-
tutes the county auditor, the mayor
of me largest municipality in the coun-
ty and the prosecuting attorney men,
bers of the budget commission.
Another resolution approved levy
of one mill upon all the property Of
Ohio to constitute state educational
fund, to be divided between common
schools and state institutions of learn
ing. Of this amount, 70 per cent is to
go to the common schools and 21 per
cent to state schools. Such distribu-
tion, it is said, will give $4 to each
enumerated youth in Ohio.

Decision Prevents Meraer.

Columbus. - The government wins
a partial vistory in it's suit against
the Lake Shore, Hooking Valley,
Kanawha & Michigan, Chesapeake
C Ohio and other railroads and the
Sunday Creek Coal Co. as a result
of a decision in the United States cir
cult court, which was filed with United
States District Judge Slater here to
prevent merger.
The court holds that the equity OF
the Lake Shore and the Chesapeake
& Ohio in the capital stock of the
Sunday Creek Coal Co. shall be dis
posed of by absolute sale, and that
the joint ownership and control of
the Kanawha & Michigan must be
terminated.

The unusually small number of
members elected who were in the city
were stirred over the episode in the
senate Democratic caucus, which re-
suited in the elimination of Dwight l..
Matchette, of Greenville, as message
clerk Of that body.
The affair has assumed such proper
tions that senatorial courtesy, the ve-
hicle through which Matchette was
ousted, is in turn likely to suffer elm
ination.
Deals With Amendment.
The most important of the three
special messages which the governor
will send to the general assembly will
deal with the disposition of the amend
ment to the Federal Constitution pro-
viding for the direct election of SEN
ators by the people. Gov. Harmon has
been for many years an advocate of
the principle and two years ago got
behind the Stockwell-Wydtman meas
ure for the Oregon plan of electing
senators.
AS was agreed upon, there will be
no bills received by either branch, ex-
cept perhaps one to make appropria.
tion for the inaugural expenses. This
is desired by Speaker-to-be Swain and
Lieut.. Gov. Nichols, in order that op-
portunity may be given to the retir-
ing and incoming governors to present
their recommendations.
