TO ENFORCE
INHERITANCE TAX LAW
Judge Wilkins OF the Probate
Court Receives An Opinion
From Attorney General

Probate Judge Wilkins has received
word that the state tax commission is
getting ready to enforce the new in
heritance tax law passed by the last
legislature.
The tax commission has just receiv-
ed an opinion from Attorney General
Price, which has been sent to all pro-
bate judges in the state of Ohio.
The opinion gives it power to have
cited into probate court heirs of any
es,Nte where attempt is made to
evade payment of the inheritance tax
by failing to have due administration
of an estate.
Instances have come to the atten
tion of the tax commission where ad.
ministrators were not appointed, the
heirs agreeing to settle the estate out
of court. If the commission believes
inheritance tax is due, under the attor
ney generals ruling it may cite heirs
of an estate into court and require an
accounting for the purpose of determ
lining the amount of taxes due under
the inheritance tax law.

.FOOO FAMINE CAME
NEAR RESULTING
Walhonding Cut Off From
Rest Of World For Nearly
One Week

The people of Walhonding, located
near the Knox Coshocton county line,
came near facing a food famine Sat
urday.
On account of the flood early in the
week, the village was cut off from
communication, by railroad, with the
rest of the world. The little village
depends upon Coshocton for it's food
supplies for the stores.
All train service stopped last week
and on Saturday there was but little
food left in the village. People were
becoming alarmed and many drove to
Coshocton in machines to obtain food
for their Sunday dinners.
However, the situation was relieved
Saturday night when the local pull
ed in at the station with a supply of
the necessities of life.
1t was the first train into the vii
lage in week.

Mayor Bair Censured For Not
Ordering Car OF Food For
Citizens of Mt. Vernon

The c. G. G. Cooper company has

The car of provisions consists of
canned goods, ham and bacon. Ham
was sold to the employees for SO cents
per pound and bacon for 36 cents per
pound.
The Cooper company is to be con-
graduated upon ordering this car and
thus give their employees food at rea-
sonable prices.
MAYOR DIDN'T ACT
While employees of the Cooper com
pany are assured of food supplies at
greatly reduced prices, other persons
in Mt. Vernon are deprived of this
privilege because Mayor Bair would
not order carload of provisions from
the government.
The mayor is being censured on all
sides for failing to order carload of
government foodstuffs. The mayor
gave as his reason that he did not
feel like taking the responsibility.
In other cities, like Newark, Mans

of the privilege of buying the govern
ment supplies at greatly reduced
cost, unless they are ordered by
mail.
Mayor Bair is also reported to have
said that trouble in ordering a car
from the government would be the
difficulty in conducting sale. Even
