had a fine splendor that the most or

THE OHIO LAW MAKERS

The present Ohio Legislature is a
busy business bunch. 1t works. 1t
will cost less by many thousand dol
lars than it's predecessor and accom-
plish a mountain more. Ridicule
and jeers do not greet the law max
ers today when they return home.
They work in harmony, seeking the
greatest good for the Commonwealth
of Ohio. Folks back home will laud
and applaud their labors if they fin
ish as splendidly as they have begun.
Vastly different was the story of two
years ago when Ohio won fame and
shame under the reign of the wreck
crew. Then the pie counter was the
high spot from the start. Now the
program is reversed. The business
of the people receives first attention.
Office seekers are seldom admitted to
the Governors office. Legitimate
business is not alarmed as in 1915.
Jokes and monstrosities have not
been put in Office. The Old Ship of
State seems TO have anchored in a
harbor away from the storm.-otta-
