Camp Willis, Columbus.-For the
first time since the establishment of
Camp Willis Ohio National Guard Of
ficers seemed to be doubtful that the
forces modified here will be moved
to the Mexican border. There are
some that hold to the belief that as
soon as they are equipped thoroughly
all the troops will be entrained for
the South, as instructions from the
Central Department to Major Robert
w. Mearns recently directed. Major
Mearns, senior mastering officer, just
stated that no orders modifying these
instructions had been received. Col
William II. Duffy, Camp Quartermas-
ter. however, has received none of
the equipment requisitioned several
days ago by guard commanders for
thorough equipment" Of the men.
For the reasons mentioned rumors
that the men are soon to be moved,
either by marches or on trains, to
Camp Perry for rifle practice and
maneuvers or ordered home direct
from the mobilization camp found a
large following among both officers
and men. A statement from Washing
ton that Senators Warren G. Harding
and Atlee Pomerene had declared the
Ohio soldiers will not see service on
the border was regarded as significant
at the camp. "They are in position

Vigorous Health Campaigns.

Probably there never was a time in
the history of Ohio when work to pro-
tect and conserve public health was
carried on SO extensively as at pres
ent. Practically every city and village
in the state is participating in the
evergrowing movement to improve the
health Of the people and save them
from disease. According to health Of
ficials, this movement has undergone
remarkable growth, especially the last
two or three years. There has been
a general declaration of war against
all sources of contagion and reports
indicate that health officers are get

sum of $186,905 out of the Federal
road building fund to aid the state
and local communities in the con.
struction of roads during the fiscal

IMPORTANT CASE
WILL Be DEcIrED
AND SNARLS IN OHIO TAX LAWS
WILL BE CLEARED BY RESULT
OF CLEVELAND SUITS.
VACATION SESSION IS HELD
ignoring of Interest BY Cities Is One
Point to Be SettIed-Another
Affects Smith Law.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbus.-In vacation-sans robes
and dignity-the Ohio Supreme Court,
with Justices Donahue, Johnson, New
man and Matthias sitting, heard three
important cases coming from Cleve-
land, but having statewide interest.
On them decisions may be expected
within the next few weeks, as they will
affect materially the question of tax
levies in many parts of the state. Per-
haps the most important is suit in
mandamus brought by John G. Heald,
of Cleveland, as a taxpayer, against
the Cuyahoga County Budget Commis-
sion, which will test fairly the question
Of whether the constitutional amend
ment of 1912 requiring adequate levies
for sinking fund and interest charges
shall be obeyed or whether it shall, at
the exigencies of local conditions, be
ignored. The constitution is carried
into effect in an amendment to the tax
laws adopted in 1914, in which it 1s
stated that the tax Sufficient to pro-
vide sinking fund and interest pur-
poses for all bonds shall be placed be-
fore and in preference to all other
items for the full amount thereof"
A second case is one which the good
roads enthusiasts are vitality interest
I'd. It concerns the right of county
| commissioners to levy sums on the
| general tax duplicate for road repairs
and to treat these items as emergen-
| MS0 fhn nf h
Smith one-per-cent tax law. The &C
ton is one in mandamus brought by
the county commissioners of Cuyahoga
county against County Auditor Johu
A. Zangerle, of Cuyahoga county. Zan-
| gerle is defended by the prosecutor
and by the attorney generals office,
while R. H. Lee, in behalf of the C1eve-
land Automobile Club, represents the
county commissioners.
The third case has a much more re
stricted application. 1t is suit
brought by the prosecuting attorney
to compel the County Board of Re
vision under the Parrett- t-Wh;ttemore
tax law to revise and equalize rea
estate values throughout Cuyahogs
county. AS head of the county taxing
machinery, County Auditor Zangerlt
reappraised this year only Ward Nine
of Cleveland, which represents the
downtown portion of the city The
downtown realty owners object to tht
partial valuation on the gronud that i
discriminates against them. The liti
cation raises a number of very com
plicated legal questions as to the ap
plication of the new tax law whicl
has left the assessment of propert,
in a state of pronounced confusion.

Ns,x nallaina Purchased.

To the suggestion of Attorney Gen.
eral Turner Is due the solution by the
State Building Commission Of the vex-
atious problem that has confronted
every state administration since the
state outgrew the present Capitol 1t
was Turner who suggested the Wyan-
dotte building, the purchase of which
was just accomplished. The price of
S225,000 is paid to William G. Desh-
ler, who was the owner. The formal
transfer and payment is contingent
upon approval of the title by the At
torney General The commission had
all but given up hope of a solution
when Turner advised that an option
be obtained on this building. 1t was
erected in 1896, in time of low
prices, and standing on West Broad
street, only a few steps from High
street, is very convenient to the
Statehouse. The building had not
been offered for sale and the low
price was surprise to the members
of the commission, who fastened to
close the deal. The state will gain
possession as the leases on the build
ing expire. In the mean time, as
leases held by the state expire, de-
partments can be moved into the new
building. The new purchase will be
the home of very important state CON-
missions and bureaus, including the
Tax Commission, Public Utilities Com
mission, the Immense Industrial Com
mission, Banking Department, Insur-
ance Department, BOARD of State
Charities, Highway Department Bu'

Gas Rates To Be Revised.

Increased rates for natural gas will
be asked in many cities of the state
when readjustments are dus upon the
expiration of the present franchise
contracts. This is the inference drawn
from a study of the claims of the Ash
tabula Gas Co., whose brief has been
filed with the State Public Utilities
Commission by its attorney. L. B. Den
ming. The, items that are demanded.
if applied generally, would send the
gas rates in the cities soaring, al
though there are said to be special fac,
tors in the Ashtabula Co. case that
may not be applicable everywhere.
The company, which is d1sputing in
the Ohio Supreme Court the valuation
made by the commission, says that
even on the contested valuation the
rate should be inreased from SO to so
cents a thousand cubic feet. AS an
alternative it proposes readiness
to-serve" charge with minimum of
rs cents a month and with sliding
scale of rates based on consumption.
The commission is asked to allow the
company legitimate operatingt ex-
penses, fair return on the property
used, an amount sufficient to cover de-
probation. creation of a surplus fund
for extensions and additions, creation
of contingent fund to meet losses Sy
accident land to cover the speculative
risks which are always incident to

Deaths From Thunderbolts.

The reports of state fire marshals,
in the % states which have such an
officer, show that per cent of all
buildings burned are ignited by light

killed by lightning in that year. The
average number of Ohio farmers
