COMMITTEES which parliament proposed
to leave in Peking during the months

nav says:
This body is quite new thing In

lishment Is apparently due to the de-
sire not to trust the president with the
exercise OF political power. But this
particular example Of distrust OF the
executive is legislative control of e,x-
ecutive run wild The trainers Of the
constitution are evidently unwilling to

sfble to guard against every possible
abuse Of power without destroying
government efficiency. Like most human
relations. political relati ons can be
conducted satisfactory only upon the
basis OF q reasonable mutual conf

Modern Methods OF Choice.
Like the Committee Of the National
Assembly, the election of auditors Of
accounts by the senate Is also almost
without precedent. That there should
be auditors who are In large measure
independent Of the government Is un-
questionnbly true Such auditors are
provided In almost all modern coun-
tries. As q usual thing they are. how
ever, placed In the same positions as

by the executive, and usually have a
tenure Of Office which makes It tmpos-
sfbie for the executive to dismiss
them.

WOULD CLOSE ALL
DOWN TOWN SALOONS
Two OrphanageS Located In the
Heart Of Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 30--If the pro-
tests filed with the liquor license COM
mission by Methodist Episcopal min
listers are sustained, all saloons, hotel
bars and club cafes will be barred un-
der the 1,2OO-yard law, within the
central district of this city, it was
claimed by representatives of the
Anti-Saloon league. The action is
taken under section 13,206, general
code of Ohio, which, they claim, pro-
vides that no saloon can be operated
within a radius of 1,200 yards Of an
orphanage. The two downtown insti-
tutions which directly produce this
condition, it is asserted, are the Chill
drens home and another denomina-
tional institution, the name of which
was not given. Large parts Of the
hilltops also would be affected by this
same law, an Interpretation of which
has been requested of Attorney Gen
eral Hogan by the liquor license COM
missioners.

not put in a competitive bid on $780,
600 or 81 600 600 block of bonds.
The governor of Ohio pledged the en-
actment of law permitting city, school
and other public bonds to be sold across
the counter by city aud county treasurers
in small sizes-Sl0 and up-in order
that the people may get the opportunity
for sound investment for their savings
and that organized capital no longer
may dictate terms to the citizens of the
state.
1t was the peoples savings deposited
in savings banks which the bankers used
to invest in municipal bonds at and
4 1-2 per cent, and it is the peoples saw
ings which these same bankers now re-
fuse to lend back for public improve
ments, even at S and 1-2 per cent in
many instances.
Big Business does business with the
peoples money. 1t is up to the elector-
ate of the state to open the way for the
people to do business with their own
money.
As first step it is essential that tax be
taken off public bonds. Taxpayers no
longer should be compelled to pay eX-
cess interest on city securities,
Men and women who can buy $40 or
S2S or 500 city bond of course will be
paying in taxes, directly or indirectly
their share of the interest payments
whether they buy the bonds or not.
They ought not be compelled to pay a
second tax out of the interest they re-
ceive when through thrift and civic pat
riotism they have become holders of city
bonds.
A constitutional amendment taking
the tax off public bonds will be voted on
at the election Nov. 4.
Vote Yes to remove the tax!

CORRUPT GANGS IN THE
LAST DITCH

1t was the anti-lobby law enacted by
the general assembly last winter that
put the crimp in the corrupt gang of
lobbyists. Not a single dirty dollar was
in evidence to tempt legislators. This
law put the old gang of corruptionists
out of business and they had to levy their
blood money upon misguided business
men under some other method. It was
no longer possible to run up big bills
for salaries and expenses as legislative
agents in Columbus and collet them, SO
the gang had to pass the hat to get etmoney
to fight laws to which there was no op-
position except from the Interests.
Push hog from the trough and he
will try to get back every time. The
interests, " naturally are trying to get
back. The active opposition of this class
dates back to the time when the COVER
nor refused to sell out the rights of sew
eral millions of toilers of this state to a
fair compensation law and give the liza
bility insurance companies a law that
would permit them to continue making
exhorbitant dividends out of the misery
and woe of the injured. If the Cover
nor had sold out to the liability insurance
companies there would have been no
opposition. He refused. Here is what
followed:
The liability insurance companies or
ganized the Ohio Equity Association,
provided corruption fund of several
hundred thousand dollars. They used it
to purchase a referendum on the COM
pensation law, and to manufacture op-
position to other progressive measures
enacted by the general assembly. Incl

Big Business has laid its hands on the
combination that opens the treasury OF
every city and county in Ohio, and de-
mands lis price before it will open the
door
-Four and a half per cent public bonds
for which bankers and brokers used TO
scramble, are going begging in practi-
cally every community in Ohio, and pub
lie improvements in many instances are
at a standstill.
Cities in dire straits have taxed them
selves to pay an additional one or two
and half per cent interest on their Sc
curities, in order to get the funds they
must have, but even then in some in
stances-in Akron, for example-the
bond buyers calmly refused to bid. They
wanted even higher interest.
They make an excuse. It's pretty
raw excuse at that They DON want to
pay taxes out of the interest they draw
on the bonds they own!
The public put the tax on bonds with
the idea that Big Business, which under
the law as it stands gets a practical mon
opoly on the market for city bonds,
ought to help pay part of the states ex-
penses.
But that wasn't on Big Business pro-
gram. 1t promptly marked up the in
terest rate before it would buy city Sc
curities! It demanded that the public
pay the tax,
The public is paying, wherever excess
interest bonds have been issued. Bonds
that haven't borne excess interest have
not been sold!
You'll pay what l say and you'll pay
when I say or you can't do business" is
the u1timatum of organized capital to the
cities of Ohio.
The hold which Big Business has on
public finances lies in the law which re-
quires bonds to be put up for competi-
tive bidding. The common people can

BOILER BLEW UP
Sand seow Founders In Maumee, but

Toledo, o., Oct. 3O.-The sand scow
Tuttle, owned by the Citizens Sand
and Granite company, sank in the
Maumee river. opposite the Superior
street dock, about 100 feet north of
the Cherry street bridge. The wreck
was due to a boiler explosion. On
board at the time of the sinking were
Captain Clarence LaBeau, president
and general manager; Buck Eaton,
engineer; Albert Scheets, fireman;
Mrs. Ada Scheets, cook, and two deck
hands. When the scow commenced
to sink the captain and two deck
hands clung to the bow end, which
remained above the water. Mrs.
Scheets. Engineer Eaton and Fireman
Scheets jumped into the water. All
were rescued by the crew of fishing
boat.

dentally the Ohio Equity Association
rounded up all the members of the old
corrupt gang and formed an organization
the membership of which comprises every
lobbyist who used to purchase laws in
the general assembly, every man who
ever enjoyed a special privilege at the
hands of the state, all legislative agents,
men who Piled the corrupt practice of
bribery, and the greedy crew that used
to rob the state treasury. All have been
banded to fight the state administration.
The vicious trade of each class has been
stopped by the state administration.
They realize that when the present re-
gime is voted another term their voca-
tions will be gone. Therefore they are
making last desperate stand. They
have also enlisted under their banner
every malodorous politician in Ohio, who
has been accustomed to receive his share
of the plunder big or little.
When such dirty crew takes up weap-
ons to fight, their instruments of war
fare are naturally stained. Wicked in
situations, vicious suggestions and bush
wacking tactics are their methods of war
fare. They are not lacking in funds;
the contributions from all persons who
ever enjoyed privilege are so large
that the people of Ohio must be aroused
to the iniquity of the gang.
The critical period has arrived. Do
the people want the progressive march
of their commonwealth halted? Do they
want special privileges restored to a
greedy few? Do they want the lobbyists
returned to their old haunts in the legis-
lative halls? Do they want the old
greedy crew to walk up to the state
treasury and steal interest earnings on
public money! Do they want to main
tain the advantage they have been given
by the present state administration?
The hands of each class are reaching
out for grips on the places from which
Democratic administrations dislodged
them.
