WHY THERE is NO BOND
MARKET.

While It has been generally un-
derstood in financial circles why
there Is no market for bonds 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 ac-
cepting bonds for the protection
of whi q 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.
In regard to the sale of bonds,
the officials who are puzzled would
probably be enlightened II they
tried to borrow money at their
own banks, and would probably
secure information If they made a
hasty demand even for their own
money. Foreign conditions have
closed the market for the time be-
ing for all forms of bonds, stocks,
securities and similar invest
ments. Ohcials 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.

WANT GOOD ROADS.
(Timn Advertlser.)

The so called good roads plank in
the Ohio platform does not meet
with the approval OF Secretary
Galley of the Cleveland Auto club,
and he does not hesitate to say So
having written letters Of criticism to
both Harding and Willis. Galley, who
is a Republican but voices the senti-
ment of the great majority Of good
roads advocates in Ohio. The state
is rapidly getting the best system Of
highways in the country and the peo-
pie who are paying for them desire
no interference with the practical and
scientific program which the present
law contemplates.

OHIO'S MODEL PENITENTIARY
State, Under Direction Of Governor Cox, Has Taken
Long Step Forward in Treatment Of Its DeIin-
quent Citizens, Both Old and Young.

| them for a better place in society
when they are released.
Thousands OF dollars a year are
saved the taxpayers through the oper-
alton OF the prisoners compensation
law, which In large measure asslsts
financially the dependents OF men In
carcerated in the Ohio penitentiary,
and in numerous cases makes ala
from charitable organizations or from
counties unnecessary.
Governor Cox's progressive Ideas
were expressed in House Bill No. 6l2'
PASSED at his recommendation by the
Eightieth general assembly, which
gave the Ohio board Of administration
authority TO devise plan OF payment
for the labor OF prisoners. The pris-
oners are paid small wage FOR their
labor, all of which Is now given to the
state, instead of a contractor, as un-
der the old system. Ninety per cent
OF a prisoners earnings Is sent TO
his dependents, and while the amount
is comparatively small. II comes as
God-send to the wife and children, who
were deprived of support when the
prison gates changed behind their
breadwinner. Ten per cent is allowed
to stand until the prisoner Is finally
released.
But the new prison farm in Madison
county, made possible through the ef'
forts of Governor Cox, marks the
greatest forward step ever made In
Ohio in handling transgressors Of the
laws. II has been pointed out that
men can not be reformed and made
natural amid unnatural surroundings.
With this in mind Governor Cox rec
commended the new prison farm,
which, when in full operation, with
the prison buildings erected, will be
cited as the model prison OF the coun-
try.
The indeterminate sentence law,
passed upon the recommendation or
Governor Cox, is a step forward In
penal affairs that has the hearty ap-
proval Of the advanced thinkers
among the penologists. 1t is just and
fair to prisoner and society as well.
Unless the investigation conducted un-
der the laws governing the discharge
of a man serving an indeterminate
sentence show him worthy and fit to
return to the free world, he Is deta'n-
ed until he shows moral and mental
improvement sufficient to warrant his
lease on parole.
Governor Cox did not overlook the
juvenile offender, from the ranks OF
whom is recruited the great majority
of the penitentiary population. He
caused to be passed law providing
for the establishment of a bureau of
juvenile research, which will decide
the final disposition of every case aris-
ing in the juvenile courts of the state.
This bureau acting upon the results
Of modern psychological tests and
other examinations, will decide wheth-
er the child should be committed to
some institution, or placed in a pH-
vate family, where proper home train
ing can be had.
These and many other measures for
society's and humanity's benefit, urged
by and adopted at the recommends
tion of Governor Cox since he assumed
the office, have caused widespread
favorable comment, and his progress
sive plans are being watched by the
authorities Of other states.

referring to loans on farms made by
building and loan associations. These
reports indicate that Ohio is far in
the lead Of all other states of the
Union in the development Of a rural
credit system.
Devine asked the associations for
details as to whether they make loans
on farms, how many they have made.
and for what amounts. Responses
show that in all but half dozen conn
ties out of the eighty-eight in Ohio
there are building and loan associa-
tions that lend money on farms.
These associations hold more than
$500 mortgage loans, representing in
money more than $4,000, 900.
By his active interest In the man.
agement OF building and loan associa.
tions, by his recommendations to the
legislature Of laws to protect depos-
itors and his close supervision of the
associations through the state bureau.
Governor Cox has accomplished a won.
derful work in safeguarding the saw
ings Of thousands of small depositors-
especially the farmers, who are buy
ing homes.
And all this is now done without
taking one cent from the pockets Of
the taxpayers for the maintenance of
the state bureau Of building and loan
associations. This is made possible
by the splendid efforts of Governor
Cox, who is being commended not
only by the thousands Of Ohioans.

IN its work of supervising the busi'
ness of all building and loan asso-
Citations in Ohio, the state bureau
of building and loan associations, un-
der the direction OF James A. Devine,
comes as close to the people as any
other department of state govern
ment, yet does not take a cent from
the pockets of the tax payers for its
operating expenses, amounting to
$4,000 a year.
Before Governor Cox, through legis'
lative action, made this bureau a sep
arate department, about $27,0OO OF
this amount came from the taxpayers
through the general fund. This year.
however, 1t is self-sustaining, so far
as the taxpayers are concerned as
the building and loan associations
of the state support it. Under the
provisions of a bill passed last year.
each association must pay a fee OF
$40 with the filing of its annual re-
port, which this year will net the
state more than $4,000. In addition
to this, there is another fee based on
the assets of the associations, which
will bring the total revenue up to
more than enough to pay all the oper-
ating expenses of the bureau.
At the beginning of 1913 there were
649 building and loan associations in
Ohio, and the year 1914 started off
with 665, an increase of 16. The aver
age annual increase in assets is about
$4,000, 900, the total assets last year
being $225,00O,OO0.

portaDt items in the reports is that
