The state board in announcing the
out statement, part of which fol-
lows:
The salary of the members of the
several county liquor licensing boards
has been fixed surprisingly low. but
we believe sufficient to procure for
each county the services of high-class
men. Every attempt will be made by
the state board to discharge and to
have discharged in the fullest all the
duties imposed by law on the depart
ment. At the same time the most
rigid economy will be observed in the
conduct of the department
THE system adopted will not cost
the people of the state of Ohio a sim
gle penny; on the contrary, it will not
only he self-sustaining, but will prove
good revenue producer to the state.
Through the foresight of Governor
Cox, VINO has given SO many evi-
dences of always having the welfare
of the people in mind, it is certain
that the revenues of the department
will exceed 100000.
"The inspection department that
was formerly under the supervision
of the state dairy and food commits.
sion has been transferred to this de-
partment, and the work will be car
ried on by this department. We shall
not ask for the transfer of the fund
of $4,000 which was appropriated to
the state dairy and food department
for the carrying on of the inspection
work, but the same will be saved to
The state.
The total salaries of the county
boards fixed by the state board for
the first year Is $106,8S0. The amount
appropriated by the legislature for
this purpose is $14O,5O0. We are thus
saving the state $4,000 On this item
alone"

Washington, Sept. 3-support fol-
many principles of the administration
currellcy bill was drawn from leading
members Of the American Bankers
association at the first session of the
hearings begun by the senate commit
tee on banking and currency. Repre-
sentatives of the recent conference OF
bankers at Chicago, who appeared to
present recommendation for amend.
ments to the bill, emphasized the fact
that they did not come in a spirit Of
antagonism to the bill. but in the hope
that it could be SO amended as to
make the new system more attrac
tive" and more flexible.
I'VE do not fear government con.
troll" said Sol Wexler, vice president
of the Whitney-Central bank of New
Orleans, and one of the chief spokes
men for the delegation. I'VE only
want minority representation on the
federal reserve board; not to exercise
undue influence upon its actions, but
to prevent abuses that might arise
James b. Forgan, president Of the
First National bank CT Chicago, and
chairman of the Chicago conference,
and Mr.. Wexler testified, and covered
part Of the ground embraced in the
series of suggestions for amendments
to the bill made public by the bankers
a week ago.
The suggestions made by the bank
ers' committee, that representation
be given to the banking interests on
the federal reserve board, were met
with counter suggestion by Senator
Weeks, Republican, which, it is un.
derstood, will be advanced as a posi-
BILE amendment when the senate com.
mittee begins consideration of tbs
bill. This is, that the bankers shouiu
be allowed to submit to the president

dent be authorized to select from this
list the four members of the federal
reserve board whose designation
would rest with him under the bill.

Columbus, o., Sept. 3. General
yells of protest are expected to arise
from the liquor license commissioners
of the small wet counties when they
learn that the jobs, for which they
fought like Trojans, and which they
expected would pay the handsome
salary of any place from $4,000 to s4,-
600, will yield but an annual stipend
of $240 year. In five counties this
Is what each commissioner will re.
ceive.
How these appointees in the little
counties will envy their brethren in
such counties as Cuyahoga, Hamilton,
Franklin and Lucas. In the two for
mer the salaries have been fixed by
the state commission at $1,000, the
same as drawn by the state commits
sioners, and in the two latter at $4,000
each. The scale grades, according to
population and conditions, from $240
in Hooking to the limit in Cuyahoga
and Hamilton.
OF course the appointees in the
small counties will not have to de-
vote all their time to the work. It is
said that some probably spent an
amount equal to their years salary in
coming to Columbus to promote their
chances. The state commission pre-
dicted that none, however, who has
been appointed will resign.
In fixing the scale of salaries, the
state commission announced that it
was aware that some of the salaries
were exceedingly low, but that it is
confident that it has secured commits
sioners who will do the work equally
as well as though they were receiving
a fat salary. BY holding the salaries
down the commission will save the
state $4,000 of the amount appropri-
ated by the legislature to pay the sal.
aries.
The total amount appropriated by
the legislature to put into effect the
license law was s165,000, but the COM
mission purposes to save at least
$4,000 of this amount through strict
economy. The total amount for sal
aries is S106,SSO.
