THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
FITZPATRICK LAW

kiLPATRiCK LAW
Referring to the enactment of the
Fitzpatrick law, which was done to re-
move the manacles which were strang-
ling many school districts and town
ships, Prosecuting Attorney Turner of
Franklin county said in part at Lake
wood: 1--WE had positive law where
by the raising Of the duplicate would
automatically lower the rate Why was
that repealed ?**+"
In the legislative bribery cases, Tim
othy S. Hogan, talented lawyer and
eminent attorney general, by his skill.
full prosecution created Eddie, "
brought him from the darkness of OBJ.
security into the limelight and made
him eligible to be talked about for at
torney general So we will let the
creator, General Hogan, answer the
query of the creature, Prosecutor Tur-
ner, as follows:
"On the day when the supreme court
handed down its decision in the Leip-
sic putnam county, case, advised
Governor Cox that the Smith one per
cent tax rate law, in my judgment,
could be saved only by the removal of
the interior limitations. The official
communications in this department at
this time disclosed such a financial
condition in many taxing districts of
Ohio as to have no doubt that, regard
less of the degree Of economy, the
public schools could not be continued
a respectable length of term In many
districts unless the internal limitations
were removed; that the, public obliga
tions In some taxing districts could not
be met if the 1910 limitation be con
tinued.
Official reports and communications
received since then confirm the sound
ness of that advice The essential and
salutary features Of the Smith law are
the 10 and 15 mills limitations, and
am o. tLe opinion that the only sure
way to retain these limitations Is for
tue people to ratify the Fitzpatrick law
To my personal and official knowledge
the desire of the Governor in recon
mending the Fitzpatrick bill was tc
preserve and strengthen the Smith
one per cent tax rate law"
This statement was made by Attor
ney General Hogan some time age
when the Equity Association was EN-
deavoring to have a referendum on the
tax reform measures.

Fl. Hamilton of Newark, under the

and were extremely interesting. Mr.
Lentz dealt almost exclusively upon
Mooseheart the national Moose insti-
tuition at Mooseheart Indiana. He
spoke to considerable length and ex-
planned, minutely, the conditions now
existing at the institution, what it is
for, its purposes, and what the insti-
tuition is doing. He explained the
great good that is being rendered and
explained the help that it gives the
families of Moose who are in need
and homeless.
Mr.. Hamilton explained the prin-
ciples of the order in practically every
detail and dealt upon a wider range
of thought than did Mr.. Lentz. Both
speakers held the audience in close
attention. The affair was a complete
success and was appreciated fully by
all who were present
