Columbus, O.-Instead of holding
fast in opposition to the Democratic
majority, several Republicans in the
General Assembly helped to carry
through the program for the reduc-
ton of the state a levy. Only one
member of the Chief Executives po-
litical party voted against the bill,
and he explained that he hesitated
only because he was not certain of
the future SO far as the returns from
the grand tax duplicate were con-
cerned. On the other side twenty
one Republicans and n Progressive
voted with the majority. Only four
teen Republicans and two Progress
sives were recorded as negatives.
Cleverly combined in the message of
recommendation were both an appeal
for a cutting off of useless taxes and
a defense of the Warnes appointive
assessor law, now the center of Mt.
tack.
Political opponents were taken by
surprise by an extract from a message
written by then Gov. Joseph Benson
Foraker in 1886 denouncing the sins
of the wealthy t~ax-dodgers and recon-
mending to the general assembly the
enactment of a almost iden-
tical ir basic terms with the statute

Warnes law did not figure prominently

monstrations against the policy of the
state administration did not come to

with the presentation of two resolu-
tons asking for a report of the com
paratfve expenditures of 1912, 1913 and
the first six months of the present
year and an accounting Of the funds
appropriated for the relief of food suf-
ferers in 1913. AS an alternative to

es providing for the suspension of the
entire road tax for 1915 and the trans.
ference of about $5,000,000 from the
unexpended balance in the general
revenue fund to the state highway
department. This was rejected by the
majority by virtually a unanimous
vote, a lone Democrat in either house

one. Highway robbery, bludgeonings

this is the worst age. cruel, wicked
and supremely foolish age
THE second age. from thirty to for.
tyfive, is the cautious middle one.
Burglaries that are safe and easy, for.
gerry, counterfeiting-in a word, crimes
demanding neither violence nor pluck
that is the second age.

EARTH WORM OF MUCH VALUE
Humble Assistant of Agricultural
Has Not Hitherto Been Given the
Credit II Deserves.

That the earth worm has some pur-
pose in life. aside from acting as fish
bait, chicken feed or even being man
gled in the interests of science, is
now admitted by the observers who
have been studying him in his rela-
tons to the world They discover
that he is drain digger and practical
lighting engineer.
At any rate 1t Ia now definitely es-
tablished that his holes In damp soil
materially assist in carrying of the
surplus moisture and admit light, two
things which go far towards making
that soil productive for the farmer.
Furthermore. in digging these holes
the earth worm brings the dirt to
the surface in finely pulverized con.
dition. 1t is rich loan and thus pre-
pared is extremely fertile.
or course a single worm is incap-
able of depositing considerable
amount OF such soil, but, as there
are $4,000 OF them to an acre of
ground. the scientist figures that the
daily deposit by earth worm excava-
ton amounts to so pounds for every
acre which they inhabit. This scat
tered over the leaves and mold al
ready there has distinct fertilizing
value, which. in conjunction with the
effect of light and drainage already
noted, would seem to entitle the earth
worm to respect which he has not
hitherto enjoyed.

case was where man kissed his wife

All right" said the Judge. And
he sentenced the husband not to work
for thirty days.
The third case was a suit FOR di-
vorce, where the wife charged that
her husband would not speak to her.
He would eat his meals without a
word, then sit down with a paper and
read without looking at her or speak
