police station, even making inspection
trips into the cells Then he parades
the corridors. remarking "Alls well'
In cat language. lie even attends ses-
sion Of nourt, where he behaves with
all the gravity becoming TO the law.
on all this "sentry go" Tom carries
erect like a banner a particularly long
and handsome tail, Of which he is i'm
mensely proud. All frequcnters OF the
Public Building have admired that tail
while bestowing sundry pats and rubs
upon the sleek, silky coat Of Thomas.

SCHOOL NOTES
Cd. w. Pearce, Co. Supt.)


There will be a meeting OF all the
teachers under district supervision at
the Medina high school building Sat
urday, September II at o'clock. Prof.
Eby, OF The Kent State, Normal Col
lege will be present to present mat
ter in which all teachers are inter-
ested. Our teachers meetings are
planned to increase the efficiency of
our schools. Therefore all are eX-
peeted to attend. Any teachers not
under district supervision will be well
come.
There will be a meeting of the 4740
superintendents at the office of the
county superintendent on Saturday,
October at ten o'clock. This group
will make plans for the year. We ex-
pect to have up live questions at all of
these monthly meetings. There is no
better way to improve our schools
than by having conferences in which
actual school conditions are discussed.
The intermediate and upper grade
school at Poe is being reseated. The
Montville Board of Education is doing
all in its power to make conditions
suitable and proper for school pur-
poses. There are many schools in
the county in which the seating should
be looked after. Boards of education
should look after this matter. The
county oltice is ready to aid in de-
termining just what each school needs.
The Liverpool Board of Education
has appointed Mr.. Charles Crofoot, of
Medina, to act as truant officer. This
is a new departure inasmuch as Mr..
Crofoot is not resident of the town.
ship. This will enable the truant
officer to perform his real duty for
he is in no way bound up in neigh
borly fashion. We know too that
when MI. Crofoot is given a case to
handle he does it. Doing his duty is
the only thing he sees. Other boards
of education would do we'll to appoint
this same man. 1t is quite common in
some states to have county truant
officer.

gagged, to teach the school at Medina

STATE INSPECTORS AFTER
DIRT IN RESTAURANTS

State inspectors are expected in
Medina county soon to investigate
whether restaurants and hotels are
living up to the Sparks law which
imposes new and more rigid sanitary
and fire protection conditions. Inspec-
tors from both the state board of
health and the fire marshal's office
are expected.
Under the Sparks law proprietors
of hotels and restaurants must take
out license to conduct business. AS
the law has just become operative
the making out of licenses has not
yet been undertaken. Licenses will
cost from SIS to $25 each, according to
the. size of the establishment.
One important requirement of the
new law is that hotels must keep
their rates posted in a conspicuous
place in the hotel lobby. This will
prevent raises in rates during con-
ventions, as 20 days notice must be
given before new rates can be ef-
fected. 1t is expected to stop hotel
profteering in the state.
Health department officials have
expressed great interest in the re-
quierement that~no person suffering
with a venereal disease may be en-
ployed in any restaurant or hotel.
Restaurants and hotel dining rooms
must be kept in a sanitary condition
and all cooking utensils must be steri-
lized every day.
1t is expected that the sight of flies
feasting on frosted cakes and pies will
be a less common one after health
department inspectors impress upon
proprietors that the Sparks law re-
quires all foodstuffs on display to be
inclosed in glass or screened.
"Cooties" are tabooed in hotels and
rooming houses and their presence en-
dangers the proprietor to punishment
under the law. All bedding must be
aired daily. Top sheets must be at
least 80 inches long.

to escape the payment OF their just
share of the tax burden? Fourteen
states have found the answer to this
question in Classification. Under
Classification cognizance is taken OF
the fact that justice comes only by
division of property into classes ac-
cording to its value and its earning
power and assessment for taxation
on that basis.
Leaders of the State Grange will at
once challenge the assertion that
Classification will bring out OF hiding
hundreds of millions of money on de-
posit or invested, that it will increase
tax revenue, and that it will not i'm
pose any greater burden on land. In
support of their challenge they will
quote misleading figures and distorted
conclusions brought from Kentucky to
Ohio recently by two OF their leaders.
These gentlement have been indus
trious in the circulation of the claim
that under Classification many owners
of land in Kentucky are paying more
money in taxes than they paid before
Classification was adopted. Unques-
tionably these gentlemen wish to be
honest and we do not understand why
they neglect to explain this fact as
being due, not to any increase in the
tax rate but to the fact that in Ken
lucky, since the adoption of Classiti-
cation, revaluation of land has been
made. Any statement that Kentucky
is not satisfied with this Classification
law is refuted by the fact that the
two dominating political parties in
their conventions endorsed Classitica-
tion, the Democratic party within the
last ten days. Refutation is further
found in the fact that in the recent
Kentucky primaries each of the five
candidates for governor had in his
platform a plank endorsing Classifca-
ton. What further evidence does one
want that Classification is working
satisfactorily in Kentucky? 1t may
be we'll to add that no state which
has adopted Classification has discard
ed it.
Their are other phases of this sub
ject which every citizen of Ohio should
know and consider and which | should
like to discuss with you, but | fear |
have already imposed too much on
your good nature. | should esteem
communication from you suggesting
any questions or criticisms which may
come to your nina.
Very truly yours,
Ohio Taxpayers League,
Geo. L. Gugle. Manager.
