urges. All others capable Of working
would be drafted also on April / or

which have been taken over by the gov
eminent. These men would thus be en-
gagged in productive activity which
would pay Tor their own support ana

Gen. Won Francois advocates an army
drawn up along the lines Of the old
model. saying:
'In the training and development Of
the men democratic innovations should
be avoided and the old military prtnci-
Piles should be maintained. One object
should be the establishment Of the high

authority Of the ofncers as class must
be restored. The means Of enforcing
discipline must also be re-esta blished
by reviving the military, regulations. the
court martial system and the obligation

The general said the Germans insist
upon being permitted to organize their
new military establishment In the fore
going manner. II necessary, he said.
they should refuse to sign the peace
treaty rather than rslinquish any part
Of this program.

DIRECT INHERITANCE
TAX LEVY URGED

COLUMBUS. O.. Jan. 30-Proyision<
for the levying Of direct inheritance
tax as a means OF raising sufficient
revenues to operate state and local.
governments probably will be one Of
the chief taxation measures to be rec
commended for enactment to the state
legislature by the special joint taxa
ton committee. 1t is known that
members of the committee look upon,
this means of raising money as one
of the most feasible yet brought to
their attention.
State Auditor A. V. Donahey. when
he appears before the committee next
Monday evening. will especially rec
ommend the direct inheritance tax.
The state now has a collateral inherit
ance tax law. which yields annually
about 100000. According to Donahey.
a direct Inheritance tax would yield
annually about SS,000,000. and he will
recommend that this be divided equal
ly between the state and local taxing
districts in which the tax is collected.
State Budget Commissioner w. t.
Donaldson also favors the direct In.
heritance tax plan. He figures that
about $6,000,000 would be raised am :
nually.
Adequate Relief.
Both Donahey and Donaldson point )
out, however. that direct inheritance
tax law enacted by the present legiss
lature would not furnish adequate re-
lief for the first year collections. The
total first year collections proha bly,
would not exceed 100000. In or
der to furnish relief for the first year,
Donahey will recommend an increase
in the Lake Erie fishing licenses from
the present $4,000 annually to $780,
600, and increasing university fees APP,
proximately $25O.000. He also will
have other recommends lions to make :
for immediate relief r.
Budget Commissioner Donaldson
says Ohio should have a direct in- ]
heritance tax even though the state
were not hard pressed for money. He
says Ohio and Michigan are the only
up-todate and progressive states
which do not already have such a tax
provision. Members of the committee,
it is understood, are convinced that
legislators personally. would stand for
almost any modification of the Smith,
one per cent tax law, but they are
afraid any attempt to violate the law
would be certain to bring a refer
endum. For this rea son, it is believed
no attempt will be made to alter the ;
Smith law.

Community Camps to Help
Place Soldiers in Jobs
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-In an effort
to find for each returned soldier work
for his ability that fits him the New
York war camp community service
which is cooperating with the federal
employment service has employed a
psychologist to question the man.
Through series of questions it is
planned to assign each soldier to the
exact work he is best able to perform.
1t was said that many of the re-
turning soldiers sought jobs for which
they were not qualified, while many
inquire whether it would be better for
them to finish their education before
seeking employment The psycholo-
gist is expected to be able to assign
the men to the proper employment or
give them the right advice as to their
future.

Richmond Bowlers Show
Interest in American
Tourney at Toledo

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. 30.--In-
quiries from bowling teams in Rich
mond, Ind, during the past week re-
questing choice dates and other data
concerning the coming tournament Of
the. American Bowling Congress at To-
ledo, O., which will be held March to
81, Indicate many teams will be sent
to compete in what its predicted to be
the banner event in the history Of the
game.
In addition to the regular teams.
many soldiers who have returned from
France and some who are on their
way are expected to attend and many
of them will compete and 1t is ex-
pected the training they have received
in tho army will go long way toward
piling up big scores. Nerve, strength
and keen sight are essentials not to
be overlooked in bowling game and
all these will have been required by
the soldier-bowlers.
The showing made by the Richmond
teams at the tournament in Cincin-
natl last year was most pleasing.
With the strain of war over and
nerves relaxed, bowling men from all
parts of the country are taking keen
interest in the game and news from
various centers tells of high scores be-
Ing made by teams. This in itself, Of
ficials OF the congress declare foretells
of some record-smashing totals at the
coming classic.
The $4,000 in prize money. figure
set by the Congress officials. may be
Increased. providing the number OF
entries increase over those Of last
year. and this they believe will be the
case.
