townships in nearly every county in
the state in which there was no inter
est in the election of assessors and
none were chosen at the polls. The
auditors also must define the districts
which each assessor must cover, and,
if necessary, name assistants to help
the assessors in big districts.

question, or in advising with this com
mission as to whether reappraise

Many Drug Users.


If the estimates made by United
States Revenue Collector B. E. Will
Hanson approach correctness one vo-
ter of every Is in Ohio is addicted to
the use of habit-forming drugs. His
figures, which have been produced aft
er months of investigation and re-
search, are larger by far than any that
have been made for the Buckeye state,
and show the difficult nature of the
task that the federal government has
assumed in attempting to break up the
use of these agencies of physical, mem
tai and moral destruction. Williamson
has forwarded to Washington res
vised calculation of the number of
drug users in Ohio, and by drug users
he refers to these who habitually use
to greater or lesser degree opium
and its derivations, which include do
min, heroin, morphine and codeine,
and also cocaine and ehloral His COM
putations show that the number of
users is, approximately 10000, and
that there are fully as many men as
women who are addicted to the drugs
that pass under the general inclusive
name of dope"

No Serious Effect.

The operation of the workmen's
compensation law will not be affected
seriously by the decision of Common
Pleas Judge T. M. Bigger, of Colum-
bus, that Section q of the law was
unconstitutional, it was declared by
Judge Wallace D. Yaple, chairman
of the industrial commission. Judge
Yaple speaks as lawyer who helped
push through the supreme court the
fundamental question of the constitu-
tionality of the act, and has helped
administer both the old and the new
laws. In fact he contributed in large
way to the construction of the present
compulsory compensation law and has
helped decide many thousands Of
cases brought under its provisions.
While the one section is knocked
out the decision does not cripple the
legal machinery of the act to an ex-
tent that would make it ineffective.
Enough is left to make the law effec-
tive and the administration of it will
go ahead.
