Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1916-08-04


tical ambition at state expense, cost
ing the state thousands Of dollars an
nually.
He gave the state it's first specific
appropriation bill, saving millions of
dollars to the taxpayers.
He introduced and had passed a
joint resolution demanding probe fo
the State Banking Department, which
showed that banks had been closed to
give some politician a job, and which
caused a great financial loss to the
owners of the bank and its depositors;
and that in hquidating these banks
more than $4,000 had been paid out
illegally. Since this probe not a state
or private bank has failed in Ohio.
He reduced the salary of the COM
mon pleas judge of this county $4,000
annually, and the salaries of common
pleas judges of other counties in the
same ratio based upon the population
He never introduced a bill to in
crease taxes. On the other hand he
fought extravaganza
Among the more important enact
mentS attention is called to the fol-
lowing: Useless jobs have been abol-
ished; extravagant salaries reduced;
specific and limited appropriations of
public revenue made, making impos-
sible salary and expense juggling;
lump sum appropriations and the
abuse Hereunder are now things of
the From the Ohio State Re-
publican Platform of 1916.
This is the work of Frank H. Reig-
hard as he drew every appropriation
bill passed by the last legislature, and
from the time it was introduced until
it was passed, there was not dollar
of reduction made or a single position
abolished.
He made it possible for the old SOL
dier, not only of this county, but Of
every county in the state, to have a
county monument.
With one exception he introduced
every bill that became a law, in the
last legislature that reduced sal
ary or abolished a position.
He secured Main Market road for
Fulton County. This means thousands
of dollars for road improvement that
we would not have received had he
not secured that road. We have now
received $15,O0O00 from that fund
that we would not otherwise have got
ten.
His Value to the State.
Being chairman of the Finance
Committee he saved the taxpayers OF
the state $1,000,000.00 each year.

I have said in daylight and dark
that he saved the taxpayers Of Ohio

tic Candidate for Governor.
Before he voted to spend dollar he
had to be shown that the state was
getting one hundred cents value in re-
turn. Ohio needs his services in the
legislature.-A V. Donahey, Stats
Auditor, Democrat.

treasury. Boyle, State Taz
Commissioner and Secretary to Gov

Why He is Candidate.
He is a candidate for Representative
in response to appeals that came from
every part of the county that h
should be. He refased until five day
before the time expired for filing
nominating papers, and there be1ni
no candidate announced for that otflc
it was pointed out to him that it wa
another expression that he should b.
candidate. 1t was under these con
ditions that he consented to go be
fore the people again.
He has been unable to make cam
paign so must trust to every Repub
lican who is interested in economy
efficient service, and honest govern
ment to go to the polls and suppor
him.
