commissioners

The board last Friday reappointed
Andrew Schunck as superintendent and
Margaret Schunck as matron at the
County Infrmary for a period Of one
year from March ! 1918, at a salary of
5000 for the superintendent and $3.50 for
the matron.
Three other bids were made for the
job-Chas. Krogman and wife, $500;
Henry Niehaus and wife, 5000; George
l.. Smith and wife, $3.50.
Mr. Schunek's application did not
stipulate the amount for which he would
serve, but the board reappointed him at
the figures above shown, the same as
last year
Some feeling has been engendered by
the reappointment of Mr.. Schunck
among the friends of the other aspirants,
who believed that they were competent
TO administer the affairs of the Inhrmary
in a satisfactory manner if not to the adj
vanage Of the county in financial way,
while others complained that Mr..
Schunck struck the trail leading into Ce-
lima oftener than was necessary, Then
there are others who feel that the mat
ron comes nearer earning the 5000 than
the man who superintends.

House Makes Dairy and FOOD COM
missioner an AppointVe officer.
Columbus, o.. Jan. 30.-By a mar
row margin the house passed the
Young bill to make the state dairy
and food commissioner an appointive
officer instead of an elective one. The
huge Democratic majority dwindled
to a margin of two more than neces-
sary to pass the bill. It passed by a
vote of 66 to SO, 20 Democrats voting
in the negative. The Republicans
sharply criticised the administration
program of pushing through the short
ballot bills in advance Of other meas
ures.

Hogan's Opinion.
Opposed to the views of Governor
Cox is Attorney General Hogan, who
declared that the supreme courts
ruling does not impair or emasculate
the Smith law as to a single one Of
its intents. "The fact of the case is
that the decision saves the law" as
serts the attorney general. In Mr..
Hogan's opinion the Smith law stands
in more danger from attempts by the
legislature to amend or strengthen its
provisions than from any decision by
the supreme court.
The attorney general says: ITO sus-
tain the constitutionality of the Smith
law itself required the recognition Of
the right on behalf of any taxing dis.
trict to take care of it's lawfully Gre
ated obligations. Were the court to
limit the taxing districts to the Is
mills, the Smith act would undoubt-
edly be unconstitutional. In my judg-
ment, the Smith l per cent law is not
only not in danger in the decision of
tle supreme court in the Roose case,
5ut when the decision is looked at
rightly the constitutionality Of the
act and the beneficial effects of the
act, as well as the purposes of the
act, are fully sustained"
In accordance with the governors
message, an amendment is being pre-
pared which will have for it's intent
the placing of maximum levy Of 10
mills for all purposes, including inter
est and sinking fund. Such an amend
ment, however, would be out of har-
mony with the opinion of the attor
ney general, who says an absolute
limitation would make the law uncon-
stitutional.
What Cox Said.
In his message to the legislature
the governor said:
Pursuant to the duty imposed upon
the executive by the constitution with
respect to communicating information
on the condition of the state l re-
spectfully call your attention to con-
dition developed by decision Of the
supreme court Of Ohio, rendered Jan.
28, 1913
1T is held by that honorable body,
and there is widespread opinion that
the Interpretation is sound, that the
interest and sinking fund charges do
not come within the prescribed max
ina, as the act is drawn.
This vitiates the basic principle of |
the law, creates a breach in the linn |
itation and trespasses on the fixed
purpose of the people to establish a |
base of economy in government.
present valuations on property |
were made with a common under |
standing Of the maximum rate Of tax
alton, and any action in departure
from this, although made possible by |
the decision of the court, might be re-
garded as bad faith upon the part of |
the state.
THE Smith law may have to be re-
fined by experience, but there will re-
main nothing to refine if the emascu-
lation stands without legislative re-
pair
The budget commissions meet the
first Monday in June. Whatever ac-
hon your honorable body might in its
wisdom take should ensue by March
/, in order that it become effective
before the date fixed by statute for
the beginning of the budget labors."

Wonder OF Common Things.


I live. in this little cottage that
seems to have alighted, like a bird,
on the slope of this gentle hill. Red
and white peonies grow before the
door, enriching the air with their
fragrance. They charm both me and
the bees. In yonder bush beside the
door a chipping-sparrow sits upon her
nest; and in the swinging branch OF
the elm tree overhead two orioles rear
their brood. and as they fash by
their golden colors delight the human
beings that watch them. Look over
that stone wall, and mark how its fiat
line gives an incompatible effect to
the landscape. See our New England
fields dotted with New England elms;
and far beyond see those white-sailed
schooners scud before the boisterous
wind. The farmers boy. who fetches
milk and eggs, left me that nosegay OF
wild flowers. Look! Look! See how
the Wilderness of that cloud glorifies
the blue OF the sky. Is It not strange
that all these things, that go about
their own business. should, by the
way, perform a work of supereroga
ton and give us SO much unnecessary
pleasure?-H. D. Sedgwick, in The
Atlantic.

HAD NO TIME FOR STUNNING
After Answering lmpertinent and Su.
percilious Questions Hostess
Hands London Lady Jolt.

The Rev. Sylvester Horne, the noted
liberal clergyman and member of par
lament of London, was talking at
dinner about charity.
'The trouble with most charity" he
said, SIS that it is administered in Q
grudging, condescending spirit. Char
ity, to have any effect, must be adj
ministered in spirit of absolute sym
pathy--a spirit, may also say, OF abb
solute humility, TO uplift. get urder-
MEATH as the philosophic AIDE well
said.
There was once a London lady, the
wife of millionaire promoter, who
decided, being rather bored, to go in
for charity. So she rang for her cleo
trio brougham and glded in a luxur-
ious silence down to the New Cut.
"The lady selected the very worst
house in the New Cut, and she paid a
call of about half an hour on the poor,
tired. underfed woman who lived
there. The questions she asked this
woman were supercilious and imperti-
nent. The lady had very good time.
''But when she came to so, her hos
tess, whose cheeks were now un-
wontedly red, rather spoiled her good
time by saying quietly:
"Well, good bye, madam. | don't
suppose I'll see you again. The fact
Is, haven't time to go Summing my
SELF Washington star.
