standing feature of the appropriation
bill passed by the Legislature is that
the Willis administration gives one
and one half million dollars toward
improving the conditions under which
the states unfortunates must live, as
compared with barely S367,000 given
by the Cox administration. Because
Governor Cox cut out building appro-
priations, Ohio's unfortunates were
crowded into attics and hundreds were
refused admission to the institutions
intended for their care. The Willis
administration has given five times as
much, and would have given more if
the money had been available.

quoted sentences from the CoX-Finley

But every reader of the news knows
that the Legislature substituted for
the fake civil service which fixed po-
litical appointees upon the payroll per-
manently without test of compara-
tive merit, real competitive civil
service, such as is demanded by the
new constitution, and created a BIZ
partisan board to enforce it, in the
Cox commission, composed of two
Democrats and a Bull Moose. The
reader knows, too, that the same press

brutal boss in forcing the enactment
of the McDermott bill which took the
licensing power from his hands.

associations and experiences OF
their mutual friends of those days.
Mr.. Weaver was the originator OF
