Columbus, Ohio.
~oNGRESSMAN Ansberry, in a
letter to T. P. Riddle of Lima,
~ o., calls attention to the fact
that Ohio has boys band Of
which to be proud, and he proposes
that this band be taken on the trip to
Washington. He accompanies his sug-
gestion with subscription to the
amount of SIS, and now the movement
is on. Riddle, the treasurer and di-
rector Of the tour, makes this COM
ment:
"Unquestionably good band would
make hit all along the line and
afford great inspiration and pleasure
to these farm boys and girls. / am
therefore recommending to the officers
of the County Crop Improvement as
sociation and to others interested in
the success of this movement that the
necessary fund be raised by popular
subscription"
State to Be Reimbursed.
After many years of fighting Ohio
soon is to be reimbursed for interest
on state funds illegally placed in banks
by former state treasurers. Negotia-
tions have reached a point where near
ly 100000 is ready to be turned over
to the state treasury by banks that
are weary of fighting.
Holds Act Unconstitutional.
Judge r. r. Kinkhead in the Frank
lin county common pleas court knocked
out as unconstitutional the new
Warnes automobile law passed last
winter by the general assembly.
The court ruled that the graduated
scale of fees, rated according to horse
power. provided in the new automo-
bile license law, imposes a. tax and
not license. Being tax, Judge
Kinkhead ruled that the schedule Of
automobile license fees provided by
the new law is contrary to the pro-
visions Of the Ohio constitution in
that if levied, automobile owners would
be subject to double taxation, one on
automobiles as personal property and
secondly in the nature of license tax.
May Run for Governor.
That Congressman Willis will ac-
fcept the honor of being a candidate
| for governor of Ohio before the Repub-
lican state convention is the opinion
Findlay Republicans hold after talking
with Willis. He denied that he had
stated at Marion that he would not be
candidate. Republicans in Findlay
are given to understand that he will
accept the nomination and will lay
their plans to work for him.
Fewer Members In Assembly:
When the general assembly con
venes for its special session in Janu.
airy it will have fewer members than
when it met for the first time last
January. There are four vacancies In
the membership, and another will oc
cur early in the new year. Two va
cancies were caused by death and
two by resignation. Representative
Lawrence F. Conway of Lucas county
died of pneumonia in Columbus a few
days after he came here to take his
seat. Last week Representative Peter
]. Collins of Stark county died sud
denly. Representative Adam Frick oi
Scioto county has resigned on account
of his election to the Office of mayor
of Portsmouth. The other vacancy
was caused by the elevation of Sen
ator w. A. Greenlnnd of Cuyahogs
county to the Office of lieutenant gov
ernor. The two members who died
and the two who resigned were Dem
| ocrats, and the vacancies cause Loss
of four in the Democratic majority
but this viii not affect the control O
that party of the legislature. Tht
Democrats still have more than 10t
majority on joint ballot in boti
houses. The fifth vacancy. will b.
caused by the resignation of Repre-
sentative A. Ross Read Of Summit
county, who will be appointed post
master of Akron in February. He viii
resign as soon as his appointment
takes effect He is Democrat. Sen
ator William Green of Coshocton viii
not need to resign even if he is sue
cessful in his desire to go to congress
for the reason that he would not be
come member of that body unit
three months after the expiration o
his term as senator. The vacancies il
the legislature cannot be filed excep
by holding special elections, and it Il
not likely that any will be ordered b.

Even though the Socialists hav'
just passed through the bitter expert
ence of seeing their administration
turned down in Lorain, Lima, st
Marys and Canton, they are find.lni
solace. The solace most soothing i
found in the election of Socialis
mayor in Hamilton and the reelection
of Socialist council. More solace o
the same kind is found in Coshocton
where the Socialists have electe'
their mayor, and in Martins Ferry
where the same accomplishment wa
effected.
