START SOMETHING

If the Governor wants to do some
thing that will make himself popular
for instance, the Roosevelt way, he
will grab the legislature by the neck,
give it a good shaking and tell it to
get busy. 1t has fiddled around and
fiddled around some more; and after
it gets one-tenth of the way through
its fiddling, along comes Attorney
General Turner and tells it that while
the cymballs and the first fiddle and
the bass have all been wrong and it
will all have to be played over again.
In addition to this there have been
rumors and whispers of lobbyists
and wine rooms and red lights and
other loose talk which doesn't do any
one any good particularly the party
in power. The newspapers say that
there is some information concerning
lobbyists and their doings in the at
torney generals Office If it is reg
ular information instead of feed
box information, why not pinch

information, why not appoint a com
mittee to investigate and make it a

that the special session of legislature
called b yGovernor Cox to reduce the
exactly 81, l,556,210.75. This is more
than was claimed by the most enthus-
iastic supporters of the reduction
The people, however, repudiated the
administration that gave its efforts
toward a fair valuation and a reduc-
tion of taxes, so that 1t will be inter
esting to note results that follow un-
der the present administration, which
apparently will give the people moth

WHAT A SPECTACLE!

Frank B. Willis as a candidate for
governor last fall denounced the
Warnes tax law of a Democratic leg
islature yet with all possible hase and
with the aid of the telegraph he
worked the official decapitation of a
hundred and two tax commissioners
in the state and put others in their
places, thus admitting to the people
of Ohio that it wasn't so much the
law that failed to meet his approval
as the fact that the commissioners he
fired were named under Democratic
State administration.
In the campaign Mr.. Willis on the
stump denounced Governor Cox for
building up what was termed polit-
ical machine, and he promised in spe-
cific terms to secure the repeal of
the law which gives to the chief eX-
ecutive the power to make appoint
ments of State boards and commits
sions. Yet as governor of the State
he turned down man who had fin
ished first in a State civil service ex-
and named low percent
age candidate, heading off the State
industrial commission in an appoint
ment The governor is reported to
have said when taking the action:
