ELECTION BILLS
ARE PROPOSED
SENATOR GREGORY OFFERS FIRST
OF MEASURES IN FULFILL
MENT OF PARTY PLEDGE.
TO SIMPLIFY THE BALLOT
VIII Follow in General Way the New
York and Wisconsin Laws-State
and National Tickets to be
on Separate Ballots.

Columbus.-Promise of fulfillment of
another plank in the Democratic state
platform is seen in bills introduced by
Senator Thomas M. Gregory, of Ham
iliun county. These bills are part of
series that have been prepared by
administration leaders to revise AID
pcdernize the election machinery of
the state. The only express pledge the
Democrats gave was law for separate
state and national ballots, thus eneb.
ling the voter to discriminate between
state and national issues.
The pledge is covered in the first of
the Gregory bills. 1t follows in general
terms the laws that have becn adopted
in Wisconsin and New York. The Sec
ond bill would make straight voting on
presidential electors compulsory by
eliminating the square opposite the
name of each elector on the ticket. I'm
der it the presidential ballot would con-
tain only circle under the name of
each party.
The purpose of this is to simplify the
count of votes and to expedite the Tab
ulation. The act would apply the unit
rule" on presidential electors, thus in
suring the solid electoral vote to the
presidential candidate who received a
plurality of votes.

Moving Picture Exhibitors.

Appointment of a state examining
board to censor moving picture films,
by act of the legislature, will be urged
by the Ohio branch of the Moving Pic
ture Exhibitors League of America,
according to action taken at an execu-
tive meeting at the Southern Hotel.
More than 400 Ohio moving picture
exhibitors and their friends attended a
banquet at the Southern, at which M.
A. Neff of Cincinnati, president of the
national and state organizations, pre-
sided. Among those who responded
to toasts were Gov. Cox, Speaker
Swain, Frank S. Monnett, John j.
Lentz, George H. Wiley of Kansas
City, Mo-, president of the Missouri
branch of the league; C. Coffman Of
Los Angeles, Cal, president of the
California branch and Joseph Brandt
of New York. During the banquet
moving pictures of the delegates ar
irving in Columbus were thrown on a
large screen at one end of the dining
hall. Tie Monkeys Nest Quartet"
entertained the banqueters with sew
eral selections.

Radical Measures Decided On.

After July 1, this year, every cor
poration that is delinquent for pay
ment of taxes under the Willis law
will be put out of business through
revocation of it's charter. There are
LOO corporations now delinquent, all
for years prior to 1912. Some of them
extend as far back as 1907
This course was indicated at a con-
ference between Attorney General T.
s. Hogan and the State Tax Commits
sion. When Hogan began work on
the delinquents two years ago there
were more than 5000. Diligent ap-
plication has reduced the number more
than rs per cent.
The commission and the attorney
general took up the cases of 60 COM
panies that were delinquent for 1912.
Before going into individual concerns
the department rendered an opinion
setting forth the legal reasons on
which, under the law, compromises
might be based. Under the opinion
the delinquents were passed upon and
it was arranged that $4,000 due from
them should be paid into the state
treasury. This will be done at once.
1t was furthermore decided that no
remissions would be granted on grace
and that legal reason must be shown
for every concession.

Efficiency Board Planned.

Criticism of the growing cost OF
municipal and school government,
found in the message of Governor
Judson Harmon and in other official
statements being partly answered at
the meeting of the League Of Ohio
Municipalities, through the exhibition
of figures showing thas the expensea
of the state also were mounting up,
1t Is likely that action will follow on
the part of the General Assembly.
One of the proposed plans Is an eff
cheney commission to be named by
that body through a resolution to be
offered by Representative jenkins, Of
Madison county. 1t is one of the plans
of Governor James NJ Cox to meet
this in another way-i. e., through the
creation of the state budget system.
This work likely will be in charge

sity of Cincinnati, who is the author

THE BANKS
OF CANADA

The closing of the year 1912 has
brought out the usual bank statements
accompanied by the addresses of the
Presidents and General Managers of
these institutions. Their reading is
interesting as they show in striking
manner the prosperity of the country,
and deal with economic matters in a
first hand way. Those who know any,
thing of Canadian banking methods
know the stability of these institu-
tions, and the high character of the
men who are placed in charge. In
discussing the land situation the Pres,
ident of the Union Bank of Canada,
whose branches are to be found in all
parts of the Canadian West, said:-
"a good deal has been said about
speculation in land. The increase in
land values has added enormously to
the assets of Western business, and
has to some extent formed basis for
extended credit, but this is not felt to
be drawback when the value is real
and convertible. We consider that a
business standing which is strength
ened and enhanced by property hold
ings is entitled to reasonable en-
largement of credit for legitimate busi-
ness operations"
1t will thus be seen that the banks
recognize the certain rise in the value
of farm lands in Western Canada.
When the facts are known of the won
derful producing qualities Of farm
lands in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, it is SIM
pie to understand the liberal stand
taken by the banks.
Living not far from Lashburn, Sask.,
Is farmer named Clarke who in 1912
secured a crop Of Marquis Wheat,
yielding &c bushels per acre. This
is spoken of as record yield, and this
is doubtless. true, but several cases
have been brought to notice where
yields almost as large have been pro-
duced, and in different parts of the
country. During the past year there
have been reported many yields Of
| from 35 to As bushels of wheat to the
acre. Oats, too, were success
| full crop, and so was the barley
crop. Wheat that would yield 40
bushels per acre, would bring on the
market roc Ga fair figure) per bushel,
a gross return of S2S.00 per acre. AL
low $1,000 per acre ian outside figure)
| there would be balance of $1,000 per
acre net profit. This figure should
satisfy anyone having land that cost
less than $4,000 per acre. Very much
less return than this proves satisfac-
tory to those holding lands in Iowa
and Illinois worth from $3.50 to $500
per acre.
The latest Government returns give
an approximate estimate of four hum
dred thousand of an immigration to
Canada during 1912. OF this number
100000 will be from the United States.
Most of these are of the farming class
and it is not difficult to understand
why farming lands in Canada will ad-
vance from ten to twenty per cent.
within the next twelve months. There
| fore investment in Western Canadian
lands is not looked upon as being in
the speculative class. Those fortunate
enough to secure free homesteads in
Canada will acquire in the intrinsic
value of the land alone the best pos
sible start for splendid future. Ad-
vertisement.
