WHY THERE IS NO BOND
MARKET.

While 1t has been generally I'M
derstood in financial circles why
there Is no market for b;,nds and
securities at this time, there seems
to be some misunderstanding in
the rural districts. Recently bond
issues In school districts and sub
divisions have been offered with
out bidders. Then the officers have
offered the bonds to the state in
dustrial commission, but Of
course in times Of inactivity Of
the bond market, the industrial
commission would be unwise to-
take over bonds under the law.
Furthermore, in most cases the
commission Is debarred from &C
cepting bonds for the protection
of which a sinking fund has not
been established at the same time
bonds are issued.
Bond sales which have been pro-
jected in the past and advertised
according to law in the cities,
have met with the same fate, and
In similar conduct, the sinking
fund trustees in the larger cities
have served notice that they will,
take no more bond issues at pres
ent. a.t
In regard to the sale of bonds,
the officials who are puzzled would
probably be enlightened If they
tried to borrow money at their
own banks, and would probably
secure information II they made a
hasty demand even for their own
money. Foreign conditions have
closed the market for tho time be-
ing for all forms Of bonds, stocks,
securities and similar invest
ments. Officials having charge of
public funds, though authorized by
law to make certain investments
as a means of aid to public needs,
must not cripple their resources
at times when there Is no market
for the securities they might take,
In order to temporarily aid a dis
trict, township or subdivision. The
industrial commission has, how
ever, accepted approximately
100000 in bonds to date, where
the bonds were properly issued in
compliance with the law and
is still prepared to assist where
need is pressing.

youngstown Vindicator.)

In this campaign upon the part OF
the discredited Republican organiza-
tion In Ohio to get back into power
from which it was driven some years
since, 1t is we'll for the voters, and
particularly the voters who pay the,
taxes, to remember what the record
Of the party is that seeks another
lease on power.
The Columbus Dispatch points out
what was the rule In the old days
when things were different and in
marked contrast with what they are
today under Democratic administra-
tion Of dollars worth of good gov
ernment for each dollar expended.
Here's what It says:
Almost without exception public
ONCE was regarded as q private snap.
Politicians nlched everything from
school funds to liquor tax. Public
work, whether performed by state,
county or city, was expected to be
and was Q cesspool for graft. Right
here in Franklin county, county off,
cials enriched themselves by from
$4,000 to $4,000 year under the
elastic Interpretation Of laws which
were originally enacted in the inter
est Of the machinists Of the Repub-
licon partv"
It was SC throughout the state In
the days Of Republican power. Frank
lin county is not alone with a memory
Of such experience. Other countles
can recall Republican methods. The
state itself had experience in the
treasury and institution scandals, and
1t is necessary now only to point to
the recovery of money rightfully be-
longing to the state, paid back by Re.
publicans, as the evidence of a Repub-
lican shortcoming in Office at time
when the party stopped at nothing
that would aid the organization. Leg.

the organization. Even courts of JUS

John j. Whitacre has finally an
nounced his intention TO continue his
political antagonism toward James M.
Cox. and will support Willis, the Re-
publican nominee.
There is general rejoicing among
Democrats that the skirmish, which
he imagines Is to be a for-sure fight,
will be conducted outside the party
lines, just where fellows Of that ilk
belong. So long as he paraded as a
Democrat he was reproach to the
party. It Is his privilege to labor and
vote for the Republican candidate and
to vainly attempt to defeat the man
he hates for petty personal reasons.
But thank God he has had the cour-
tesy to drop the cloak Of Democracy
and assume the veSture Of Republi-
canisn, which he should have worn
for many years gone.
The term game sport" can not ap-
ply to fellows Of the Whitacre stripe.
Honorable men, since the beginning
Of civilization, have shown spirit, not
weakness, as IN this instance. in the
face Of failure and blasted hopes.
