SAW THE HANDWRITING

Three weeks ago Republican County
Auditors with mock seriousness de
clared it would be impossible to re-
duee tax rates even In the face OF the
haliing of the state tax levy. Then
they heard from the people. Note the
change that has taken place. Defiance
has generally given way to submission
and even In Franklin county and IN
Hamilton county the Republican
officials are declaring they will dc
their utmost TO cut the rates.
Promises are good-performances
viii be better. The taxpayers will dc
we'll TO keep a watch on these nifty
shifters. Meanwhile just keep in mint
the simple fact that 1t was a Demo
cratic State Administration standing
back OF the State Tax Commission
that has changed the attitude from one
OF defiance to one of submission. The
machine" has committed the offensC
OF protecting the taxpayers. Some
thing that Republican Organization
never thought OF doing.

forth challenge to his opponents to
name one of the fifty-six reform laws
passed by the recent legislation they
would name as a law that should be
repealed. This challenge still remains
unaccepted. The promises for laws
he made during his campaign for gov
ernor two years ago, were enacted
and are full force. He kept his word,
he redeemed his promises. The wis
dom of the promise and the good in
the laws stand They are their own
defense and no one has been found to
insist that they or any of them be
stricken from the books of statute
law. The promises were not idly
made. The proposed laws were not
merely a platform conceit, but were
the creation of careful thought and
the mature judgment of man with a
mission and a purpose, mission and
purpose that meant for him high
place as an executive or defeat and
oblivion.
There was no lodging, no splitting
hairs, but the issue was sharp and
clear and without negation. Having
won the fight, there was no faltering,
no forgetting, no time wasted, no
idling by the wayside, but he made it
his business to see that the laws were
carefully framed, made plain and free
from double or doubtful meaning and
then applied himself earnestly, con-
stantly and consistently to making it
clear just what was desired and in
tended to the end that they were
placed upon the statute books. 1t was
a wonderful accomplishment. A great
| er work than ever had been done in
Ohio in the same length of time, and
their impress has been such that no
one, however ambitious, however pro-
gressive, standpat or reactionary has
had the temerity to meet this chal-
lenge of the governor, this continuing
universal challenge made everywhere
that he has had an opportunity to
make 1t.
Honest himself, he but asks the
honest judgment of the voters upon
his administration in which he has
labored solely for the good of all the
people of the state.

waist had actually wasted quite away.
Perhaps more novelties in the blouse
line have been introduced this winter
than for many preceding seasons. The
surplice blouse. the basque blouse and
both the jacket blouse and the vest
waist are all practically new.
The Surplice bodice is prettieSt de-
velOped in soft crepe de chine, pussy
willow taffeta, satin or velvet. The two
loose front pieces of the waist are cut
long enough to cross in front and pass
around the waist like a girdle which

| surplice waist are long, as are the
sleeves Of all the really smart new
blOuses, and the collar a high half col

| and tight in the back and ends just
behind the ears leaving the front of the
| throat exposed in a long graceful line
that fits in admirably with the loose
draping of the surplice.

SAM HAS
NOVEL SYSTEM
Cleveland Postmaster to Use
Automobiles to Ship Pro
duce to the Consumer.

With five new delivery cars at his
disposal, the postmaster Of Cleveland,
Ohio, has announced his intention Of
putting into effect a plan which VIII
be a decided innovation for Uncle sam s
postal department.
The purpose is to make the parcel
post an agency for greater service.
All farmers living in the vicinity of
Cleveland who have butter, eggs and
general produce for sale, have been
invited to forward their names and
addresses to the pOstOffice. Those
names will be printed free by the
government and the list will be dis
played in the federal building and
sub stations throughout the city, and
in addition will be distributed direct
to CleveIanders by mail carriers.
Uncle Sam to Collect.
The prospective consumers will COM
municate with the producers regarding
prices, orders will be mailed and goods
received within a day or two. Uncle
Sam will make the collection when his
cars make the deliveries.
The cars will not only deliver par
GELS, but also will be used to bring
outgoing parcels to the pOstoffice from
stations in different sections of the
city.
a novel departure from the usual
method of keeping up a delivery sys-
tenn is that each of the drivers will
be required to pay for all repair work
on his car and to provide oil, gasoline,
tires and bear any other expense neces-
sary to keep the vehicle in continuous
service. For this purpose he will be
given fixed allowance annually.
