Poll Tax. Advocated,

Ross county citizens have taken the
lead in movement, which they hope
to make statewide, to petition the
governor and legislature to enact a
law providing for a poll tax. The good
road organizations Of Ross county
have stood sponsor for the proposal
and petitions have been circulated in
Highland, Fayette, Brown, Athens,
Clark, Champaign and Vinton counties
in addition to Ross.
The plan outlined in the petition
calls for tax of $3 yearly to be levied
against male citizens between the ages
of q and SIS in incorporated villages
and cities, in lieu of two days labor
on public highways.
Funds derived from this tax would
be used in improving roads, according
to the petition. The petition also asks
for law giving property holders the
right to work out" on the roads a
part of their taxes. Change in the
method of disbursing receipts from
the automobile and saloon tax also is
suggested The petitioners urge that
all automobile taxes collected in a
county be paid directly into the coun-
ty treasury for road improvement and
one fourth of the liquor tax be divert
ed in the same manner. Amos Fisher.

U. S. WARNS BANKS
TOLD OF DANGER TO INDUSTRY
IN WAR LOAN NOTES.
Federal Reserve Board Sees Peril in
the Purchase of Short-Term
Notes.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The federal
reserve board issued a statement on
Monday warning banks and the public
against the purchase Of short-term for
eign notes.
The statement will be a severe blow
to the financiers who were planning to
float these loans In the United States.
The statement says in part:
''In view of contradictory notes
which have appeared in the press re-
garding it's attitude toward the pur-
chasing by banks in this country Of
treasury bills of foreign governments,
the board deems it a duty to define its
position clearly.
"The board believes that at this
time banks should proceed with much
caution in locking up their funds in
long term obligations which are short
term in form or name, but which,
either by contract or through force of
circumstances, may have to be re-
newed until normal conditions return.
The boards concern and responsibility
lies primarily with the banking situ-
alton.
IF, however, our banking institu-
tons have to intervene because for
eign securities are offered faster than
they can be absorbed by investors
that is, their depositors-an element
would be introduced which, if not kept
under control, would tend toward in
stability and ultimate injury to the
economic development of this coun-
try.
while the loans may be short in
form and severally may be collected at
maturity, the object of the borrower
must be to attempt to renew them col
lectively, with the result that the ag-
gregate amount placed here will re-
main until such time as it may be ad-
vantageously converted into a long
term obligation. 1t would, therefore
seem that funds of our banks, which
facilities to our merchants, manufac
turers and farmers, would be absorbed
for other purposes to a disproportion
ate degree, especially in view of the
fact that many of our banks are al
ready carrying foreign obligation:
which they are under agreement to re
new.
"The board deems, therefore, it'
duty to caution the member banks tha
1t does not regard it in the interest o.
the country at this time that they in
vest in foreign treasury bills of thi'
character"

EXPENSES were
GIVEN Big CUT
SAVING EFFECTED BY BOARD In
CARING FOR DELINQUENT
WARDS OF THE STATE.
CUT IS ALMOST Three MILLIONS
Problems of Rising Costs Are Solved
in Manner That viii Make
Housewives Envious.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbus.-Five years Of continu-
GUS application of business principles
to the great task of caring for the de-
linquent and unfortunate wards of the
state has reduced materially the ex-
pense to the taxpayers. This is shown
in a resume contained in the annual
report of the state board of admins
tration for the year which ended June
80. 1t shows the lowest total cost in
the six-year period beginning with the
year before the board took over the
management of the institutions.
This remarkable reduction has been
accomplished in the face of constantly
rising prices, which have come to be
called the high cost of living" There
also has been large increase in pop
ulation in the score of state institu.
tions. Against this factor is the val
liable one of larger production
from state-owned lands, accomplished
through the agency of central scien-
tif1c management. In 1911 the total
cost per capita was S21726. The total
cost for the state institutions was $4,-
5,497.S0, and the population was 49,;
S62. In 1915 the per capita cost was
$188.06, the total cost was $4,072,-
689.21, and the population was 21,656
The details Of the report show that
the outlay for the current year fol-
personal service, or salaries. of al
kinds, was $1,482,626.18, and for main
tenance, which includes everything ex
cept permanent improvements, was
$2,585, ,978.42. The food supplies pur
chased amounted to $1,011, 900, while
the food supplies raised amounted tt
nearly half million. The increase il
total expenditures over 1915 was only
| $4,000, and against this is computed
the fact that the state board expended
| $140,000 more on buildings than dur
ing the year before. The decrease il
operating expenses was more thar
| $108,000. The Institution for Feeble
Minded Youth near Columbus is the
only one that was self-supporting las
year.
