RESULT
IF NOT PASSED

Poor city service, for all de-
partments will be short
handed.
Garbage and ash collection un-
certain.
Dirty streets and alleys.
Poor street lighting.
Increase in crime and immor-
ality due to lack of proper
police protection.
Increased losses by fire. Both
fremen and police will seek
jobs where pay is better.
Poor sanitary conditions, due to
loss Of trained help, will men
ace the health of the city.
Dayton will no longer be pointed
out as q model city.

WHOM IT
WILL, BENEFIT

Every citizen and future citizen
Of Dayton.
The householder will get bettei
service.
The property owner will get pro-
lection. Property will in
crease in value.
The city employees, laborers,
clerks, policemen and firemen
will get the wages they de
serve.
Manufacturers: progressive
city means plenty Of help.
Merchants; for there will be
work and money, which
means trade.

WHY IT IS BEST WAY
TO MEET CONDITIONS
1t is the one step provided by
law to meet city indebted
ness.
It is sound business finance.
Other big cities have been
forced to it before this.
It will keep the city's credit
good
It will save paying Of interest
for money borrowed on fu-
tufe taxes.
1t is the straightforward way
TO pay our debts without
mortgaging the future.
The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1918-11-01

Put city back on cash basis.
Enable city to keep its employees
and give efficient service.
Give Dayton enough policemen
to protect life and property.
Keep up the Fire Department
in both members and equip
ment SO as to give Dayton
the fire protection it needs.
Reduce the city indebtedness to
what it was before the war.
The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1918-11-01

WHY
NEEDED :
Because of the abnormal condi-
ditions due to the war.
Because of the increased salar
les of city employees.
Because of the increased cost of
materials used by city.
Because the greatly increased
population has 7ded to the
city's expenses.
Because of the unpaid balance
Of Indebtedness left by pre-
yious administrations.

SPEAKERS SPEED UP. TOO
Representatives of Information and

Time In Covering Territory

Speakers for the Information and
Education Service Of the Department
of Labor have, during their trips
through the country to inform bust
ness men and workmen of the De

some exceedingly strenuous work.
These men are lecturers, authors.
clergymen, business men and editors,
practically all of whom are working
for much less money than they could
receive at home Yet they ride all
night in day coaches, get sleep when
ever and wherever they can, and put
up with all manner of discomfort and
even hardship, when travelling in re-
mote localities, in order to bring the
Departments message to the people.
AS an exemple Of what is sometimes
required OF these speakers, the case of
a college professor known in every
part OF America is interesting. He had
finished an address In little noun
tain town, and was called upon for
another speech the following day in

of the roof over the station platform,
and under this, curled up on bag

UNCLE SAM ISSUES
NO RAILROAD PASSES

Trenton, N. j., Dec. 3.-The Fed
eral Railroad Administration has de-
cided that the State law requiring
railroads in New Jersey to furnish
masses to certain officeholders is OF
no effect while Uncle Sam Is operat-
ing the railroads. Thus, after Janu-
ary /, 1919, certain New Jersey citi-
zens will either pay fare, walk, stay
at home or beard in Trenton.
The governor, state senators, mem.
bers of the House Of Assembly, judges
Of higher courts, certain state officers
other than the executives have been
entitled to these passes, as well as
most of the legislative employees.
Each year the Legislature either
added to or made an effort to en-
large the list.
The passes, it is said, were used
throughout the year by many holders
and were especially desirable to the
South Jersey resident who spent his
summers at shore. Many of the
officials now commute to Trenton on
their passes.

The course of the German armies
in France was marked nth the same

has been produced that the entire

In France the German system of

In this article Is shown the real iden-

from the scores of dispositions which

volunteers to go and work In the

success that was expected.

removed into the country. Persons
deported will be sent to the interior
Of the occupied territory in France, far

employed In agricultural labor, and
not on any military work whatever.
BY this measure they will be given
the opportunity of providing better
for their subsistence.
"In case of necessity, provisions can
be obtained through the German de-
pots. Every person deported will be
allowed to take with him 80 kilo-
grams of baggage household utensils,
clothes, etc.). which 1t will be well to
make ready at once.
