Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1913-11-28

really not an increase. but appears as
such because the money was paid out
by the state instead of by the fair
board, as heretofore, and by which
plan it was not included in the states
disbursements. The appropriation of
$4,000 to defray the expenses of the
Ohio soldiers to the famous Gettys-
burg reunion was another new es-
pense, as was the $4,000 appropria-
ton for the Perry's victory centennial
celebration, which the state was obli-
gated to make.
Sit Up and Take Notice.
Columbus is still echoing with 1
the resounding din of oratory
from Temperance Week" Dry
leaders are busily planning for their
nationwide prohibition fight, and
there is an air of activity at the
state headquarters of the Anti-Saloon
league that is unprecedented Some
thing of the atmosphere of a religious
revival prevails. The liberal forces,
known as ''the enemy" have come to
sit up and take notice of the new
trend of events and already have be-
gun widespread plans to hold the
fort" The drys have formally de-
clared their intention of fighting from
every vantage point. For example,
while they have begun a new national
battle for prohibition, they will not,
according to their promises, forsake
any Of the local option fights in Ohio
or any other states. So the county
options campaign scheduled for Ohio
will go on just as if the new move
ment had not been started, is the
promise.
The prohibitionists, in their con-
ference here, are making plans for a
concentration of forces next fall in
the attempted election of 10 congress
men. The main plan is to center all
the national forces of the Prohibition
party next year upon 10 congressional
districts in the hope of carrying at
least part of them. The Prohibition
party now has no representative in
congress. Meantime, while practical
ly all of the prominent Prohibition
leaders are in sympathy with the
Anti-Saloon league movement, they
will continue their party organization
Furnishes Peculiar Spectacle.
Jacob Baschang, former Dow tax
deputy of Hamilton county, furnished
the peculiar spectacle Friday of a con-
victed man trying to become pris-
oner in the Ohio penitentiary and of
being temporarily unsuccessful. Ba-
schang came to serve two-year SEN
tence for bribery. Only his attorney
accompanied him, and the latter had
the commitment papers. When Ba-
schang reached the state prison, his
attorney was temporarily detained in
the supreme court. So, minus the
papers, the prospective prisoner
sought admission in vain until his at
torney came upon the scene.
To Agree on Working Plan,
The newly appointed county tax
commissioners will meet with county
auditors here on Dec. 4 and 5, if ap-
prova1 is given a call of President
Robert B. Alexander of the auditors
association for this, by the state tax
commission. Members of the com
mission, Gov. Cox and Attorney Cen
eral Hogan will be invited to address
| the gathering. A working agreement
will probably be agreed upon by the
tax commissioners and the auditors
to aid in the work of getting proper
returns of property for taxation.
Wants Regulations Changed.
The state board of health wants q
change in the regulations for the
state tuberculosis hospital at Mt Yer
non SO that more free patients can be
admitted there than now. Only 10 per
cent of the population is admitted
free. The capacity is $50 patients
and SO only 15 are taken in free. The
4 board Of health also wants to be per-
mitted to say who shall be admitted
to the institution. The state board Of
administration now has full control
Of the institution. Representatives of
the two boards met Friday to con-
slider the proposed changes.
Will Start Work Dec. 1.
Announcement was made Friday
evening that the newly appointed dep
| uty state tax commissioners would be
placed at work on Dec. 1. At first it
was decided not to start them before
the first af the year, but because of
the time that it will take to organize
their forces it was deemed best to
direct them to star month earlier.
| Detailed instructions sill be given
the commissioners by the state tax
commission and Gov. Cox before they
begin their duties.
May Be Named Matron.
It is probable that Mrs. John Nc
Namara, who has been acting matron
of the Girls Industrial home, Della
| ware, since the resignation Of Miss
Charlotte Dye, several months ago,
will be appointed matron. Her work
has been very satisfactory to the state
| board of administration, which makes
the appointment. The adoption of
the amendment giving women the
right to hold certain Offices legalizes
the appointment of a matron at the
home.
