According to opinions of leading
attorneys of the state, clerks of
court of Ohio are eligible to another
year in office above the two years
allotted to them by the state election
laws. A special meeting of the
clerks, called because Of this conflict
in election laws and state constitution
was held at Columbus Saturday.
It is estimated that the case will
be tried either in the appellate court
or the supreme court. Not satisfied
with the rulings Of the many attor-
neys consulted, the men interested in
the office question took the matter up
with one of the best known judges in
the Cincinnati judicial district. His
opinion was favorable for a. three
year term.
The contentious of the clerks for
three-year terms is based upon article
10, Of the fourth amendment to the
state constitution which provides;
There shall be elected in each coun-
ty, by the electors thereof, clerk Of
the court of comomn pleas. who shall
hold his office for the term of three

The committee made a trip to Gadsden Tuesday and organ ized a league there, and the visit tc Anniston today is another of the "mis- sionary" trips that will be made to north Alabama cities. Among those who will go to Annfston are F. L. Brown, George B. Tarrant R. A. Por- ter, B. Asbury Thompson, Frank P. Fowlkes and several others.
 At meeting of the Tax league yes terday morning at 10:sO o'clock at the Chamber of Commerce it was decided to reduce the initiation fee in the league from s2 to s1. thus enabling anyone interested in the movement to become a member of the league. Mem hership will give the right to vote on who shall be delegates to the state meeting of leagues at Montgomery. and to have a voice in the formation of tax laws, which the legislature will be asSe to adopt.
 E. L. BfoWn president or the league, said yesterday: ''The Tax league is a state wide movement It is non-par- tisan, non political and has no special interests to serve. We desire the CO., operation of the farmer, the wage earner, the business man and the pro fessional man. We want them to join the league and have a voice in the selection of delegates to attend the Montgomery conference, at which state tax legislation will be discussed.
 This league expects to be merely the medium through which the people of the state can express themselves as to tax legislation, the most important question that will come before the coming session of the legislature.'
