OLD AND NEW coz SLOGANS.

Washington. - The following inter.
esting interview with Governor James
NJ. Cox of Ohio was published in the
hotel column Of the Washington Post
four years ago-viz, on July 20, 1915:
"Ohio Is not the only state where
the people are shouting the praises Of
the President for having preserved
peace in the United States. Our honor
has remained unsullied. The slogan
He Kept Us Out Of War will be the
most effective argument the Democrats
can use In the campaign. Americanism
has been pre-empted by the President,
and every other problem Of national
import has been met squarely and sat
is~factorily."
This tends to show the caliber Of
Governor Cox. With him It Is any
thing to win. any sort Of a catch phrase,
slogan or anything to deceive or fool
the people.

Where They Go.

WASHINGTON, July 2s-Treasury
officials and particularly the direc-
tor of the mint, are wondering where
all the pennies go.
John Public can't buy anything
with a penny any more. not even at
4 bargain rush. yet the mint can
not keep up with the demand.
The mint put in circulation 5l3,-
100000 one-cent pieces during the
fiscal year.
II is continually coming pennies.
vet its reserve stock remains ex-
hausted. and the demand is still
racing with the supply.
Certain interested officials made in
duiries on their own account and
made some surprising discoveries.
They found that one Of the big
gest consumers Of pennies is the So
called Weighing machine, where the
heavyweight drops in a penny and
stands on the scales TO see IL he has
lost weight during the hot spell.
This device. together with all the
other varieties of penny slot ma
chimes, they found, are pretty large
penny absorbers.
One machine was opened recently
and found to contain seventy pounds
of pennies, or close to 1900 Of
them.
The treasury is thinking OF asking
owners Of these machines to practice
opening them every few months. at
least. and release some Of the spare
coppers.
War tax gets many more.

The swan song" Of the SO. 800 special
session of the Goodrich legislature is
about to be sung.
The majority leaders Of both houses
are hoping against hope that the soiled
administration linen has been laundered
sufficiently to be placed on the campaign
clothes line for inspection at the coming
election.
This expensive special session Of the
Goodrich legislature was made necessary
to save the face" Of the administration
at the fall election, as the republican
party did not dare go befoge the people
with the ghost OF the Illegal actions OF
the state tax board following the party
about the state.
Among the bills which were passed by
the legislature in special session for
washing out the soiled administration
linen are:
The Johnson legalizing bill. which was
passed by the house in an effort to vail
date the Illegal actions of the state tax
board in ordering horizontal Increases
in assessments, but this bill has been
amended by the senate and now is In
the hands of a joint committee Of both
houses.
THAT HOME
RULE BILL.
I
a partial attempt to restore home rule
by returning the bond making and tax
leyying duties to the local taxing units.
but giving the right to the state board
Of tax commissioners to hear appeal on
tax leyies made in the future.
The Kiper bill was substituted for the
Tuthill house legalizing bill when that
measure was presented before the senate
the main feature Of the substitute bill
being the section which strips the state
board Of tax commissioners Of the power
to hear appeals. but permits the judge
OF the circuit court 10 sit in as an arbiter
where there is a dispute over a future
tax levy.
The 100000 war memorial bin as
passed by the house and amended by the
senate TO provide a large source OF rev
enue as well as giving the city Of In
dianapolis and the county of Marion the
right to add 100000 TO a state fund
Of similar size. Is regarded a clever
political attempt to dispose Of this
troublesome issue so 1t can not become
a campaign issue this fall.
The county road unit bill now is in n
conference committee and is causing ex-
tended discussion.
The coal and food commission bill
house as recommended by the conferees'
report and similar action will be taken
today by tae senate, it is said.
MINED WITH
"SOILED LINEN"
Mixed up with the "soiled linen" legis-
lation were many other bills, not emerg-
ency matters which finally we're put
through by the majority members who
desired 10 use the valuable time OF the
special session In accomplishing some
local things TO aid candidacy for re
election.
In fact. every bit OF legislation ap-
pears 10 have been considered from the
angle of It's political effect and its bear
ing on the coming campaign.
The object Of the special session ap-
pears 10 have been the necessity 10 keep

and iu this way lessen the burden OF
