ness of Extra SessIOn-COx

General assembly adjourned last
night after putting the finishing
touches to several bills left over
from Monday. Governor Cox, after
signing "A measures, left for Florida,
whore he expects to spend two weeks.
Rules were smashed by Speaker
Swain to get votes enough to attach
an emergency clause on the King bill
fixing automobile fees at 81 for mo-
torcycles, SO for electrics and $5 for
gasoline automobiles. Some opposi-
ton was occasioned bv a desire to
have the bill submitted to the people
for referendum vote. The emergency
clause was passed, so to 20. BY amend
ment in the senate, to which the
house agreed, the bill takes effect
this year, March 1, but after this year
the fees are payable Jan. 1.
The question of apprepriating ST.
800 for members Of the Harmon COM
mission which investigated industrial
conditions for the purpose Of enact
ing a workmen's compensation meas
ure caused a wrangle. 1t was finally
decided by both houses to award
q, 200 each to the members of the
commission, who were ]. P. Smith, G.
W. Perks, J. H. Boyd, W. ]. Rohr and
w. ]. Winans.
The house concurred In the senate
amendments to the Kramer probe
committee bill. AS passed, the Kra-
er bill permits members who are law
yers to accept employment under the
Judiciary branch OF the state govern
ment, including all courts; permits
members who are editors to make
printing contracts with the state;
permits any members obtaining state
contracts with or without bid. With
these exceptions, members may not
serve on salaried commissions and
may not accept employment from any
created by the legisla-
turs, or employment from any execu-
tive or administrative branch or de-
partment of the state which provides
any other compensation than actual
expenses. Should he do so, he must
resign his membership in the general
assembly at once.

PROGRESSIVEs WON'T
AMALGAMATE

A brief Introductory notice Of the
meeting of the Progressives Of the State
at Lima on the 18th, together with the
speeches of Garford and Garfield, who
announce themselves as candidates for
United States Senator and Governor Of
Ohio, respectively, appears on another
page Of this issue of The Democrat.
The assemblage of Progressives, bet
ter known as Bull Moosers, was full Of
fire, indicating that there is to be no
surrender Of principles, and the nomina-
tons made are pretty good index of
what is going to happen.
cambridge Colby, who personally rep
resented Theodore Roosevelt, announced
that all proffers of Republican leaders
were being scorned in every section of
the country.
The Democratic State Administration
was criticised, a liquor referendum was
favored and all preparations for a vigor-
Gus independent fight this fall were
made.
Republicans who had hoped for some
thing to occur, favorable to amalgama-
ton, are sorely disappointed. Ohio is
to witness a three-cornered fight once
more, which promises to be fercer than
that of 1912

on school lands by the state auditor
on approval of the governor and at
torney general, and the Reid bill, re-
quiring a tax levy in every political
subdivision to provide sinking fund
and interest for all bonds issued.
Representative Reid Of Fayette,
who fathered the governors bond
tax bill, went the governor one better
and stipulated in it that the interest
and redemption tax, to be levied incl
dental to the issuance of bonds, must
be within the 10-mill limit of the
Smith 1 per cent law The governors
message did not allude to that fea-
ture.
The general appropriation bill, car

will have right to ask the court to
turn the utilities over to them to op-
crate for 20 years If there is default

CREDIT RECORD
AND ITS MISSION

A representative of the Capital
Rating Association of Chicago has
been in Celina the last few days or
ganizing the work in this locality.
1t is the business of the Associa-
tion to supply the business men with
a guide called THE Credit Record"
to be used in extending credit to
their cutomers. For instance, if a
customer has failed to settle his ac-
count with any of his creditors, the
fact will be make known in The
Credit Record, published at regular
intervals by the Association. There
fore the only way to avoid having
your name published broadcast as
one who does not pay his debts is to
settle at once or make arrangements
to do so at an early date.
