ON AUTO TAG WORK

The Chamber of Commerce auto
mobile license statistical reports,
which were recently submitted to the
state bureau in Columbus by Secre.
tary Mayer of the local organization,
were highly complimented by A. G..
Snow, registrar of the state bureau.
Mr. Snow, in letter received here
today, stated that the Mt. Vernon re.
ports were among the neatest and
most faultless he had received from
any Of the sub-offices which were
established throughout the state.
The Mt. Vernon reports needed the
least amount of examination and cor
rection of any that have been sub
mitted to the state Office.
This letter of commentator shows
the efficient work that is done in the
office of the Mt Vernon Chamber Of

GEDDES WAS BORN
IN MT. VERNON AND
WELL KNOWN HERE
Lite Of Former Mt. Vernon
Statesman Is Received
By Columbus Man

]. H. Galbraith writing for the Co
lumbus Dispatch has the following
very interesting story concerning
George w. .Geddes, former Mt. Yer
non resident, in Wednesdays edition
This week IS the anniversary Of a
noted filibuster in congress over the
third term question based upon res.
| olution offered by an Ohio man-Con.
gressman George w. Geddes of Mans
field. Geddes was Democrat and
apparently was cooperating with the
opponents of General Grant who was
looming up as q candidate for nomin-
alton by the Republicans to a third
term in the White House.
The resolution was called up regu-
larly and there was nothing for the
Grant supporters to do but kill it by
filibuster, the date of adjournment
having been fixed. The year before
William M. Springer of Illinois had
offered similar resolution and its
discussion had aroused the politicians
all over the country. 1t was disposed
of in the previous December. The
filibuser prevented a vote on the Ged.
des resolution. The incident shows
that in the old days the political game
was played as fiercely in presidential
years as it is now.
Geddes was native of Mt. Vernon,
Ohio, born in 1924. With but a COM
mon school education he studied law
in the office of Columbus Delano, and
was admitted to practice on attaining
his majority He was elected to the
common pleas bench and served one
term and part Of another. Later on he
was elected to still another term on
that bench.
Geddes served four terms in con-
gress. In his first term he sat in a
congress that contained more men
who became widely known than any
other in the history of the state.
There sat with him in the delegation
from Ohio Ben Butterworth, Tom L.
Young, afterwards governor of the
state, John A. Mcmahon, Ben LeFev-
re. J. Warren keifer, Frank Hurd, the
noted free trade advocate, Thomas
Ewing, A. J. Warner, authority on
coinage, George L. Converse of this
district, who split away from his par.
ty on the tariff issue, recognized as
one Of the able men of congress in
his day, William Mckinley and James
A. Garfield. Three of these colleagues
OF Geddes in the Ohio delegation, it
will be noted, are living still-McMa-
hon, Keifer and LeFevre.

County Supt. Of Schools J. c.
Marriott Shows Affect
Of Measure
TAKES TOWNSHIP
AS AN EXAMPLE
Some Very Interesting Fig
ures Are Given On The
Subject

practical illustration of the new
state school finance measure has
been worked out by County Supt. j
Z. Marriott, which sums up in brief
what the different districts must dc
to comply with the law.
He first outlines the effect of the
measure on the county as whole
and then takes up one township, JEFF
ferson, and shows just how it is af
fected by the bill.
The summary follows
The state levy of 1.8 mill which
comes within the 10 mill limit will
produce on the state tax duplicate for
1919, according to the state depart
ment, a fund of $l7,649,4 minus
the reserve fund of $5OO,OOO, which
leaves for distribution over the state
$17,149,40
The enumeration of the youth of
the state for 1919 was 1,486,713. The
enumeration of the youth in Knox
county for 1919 was 6,SS7. This, d.
vided by l,4S6,71S, gives the ratio of
enumeration as .OO463. The state
fund for distribution, multiplied by
this ratio, gives $79,4O1.72 as the
amount that Knox county receives
from the state fund.
Now, the tax duplicate for Knox
county for 1919 was $53,647,54O. This
sum, multiplied by OO1 of a mill, will
equal $53,647.54, the amount of the
county one mill levy which comes
within the ten mill limitation. Then
the sum of the two gives $l33,O49.26
as the amount that will be received
from both county and state.
The salaries of teachers of Knox
county for 1890 are $164,454.53.
Salaries of drivers in the county, as
suming that neither own vehicles of
locomotion, are $1O,SSO. Now then,
37h per cent of $164,454.53 will equal
$61,67O.45, the amount to pay the
teachers from the county and state
funds. The same per cent of the
drivers fund equals the amount of
$4,OSO to pay drivers from the coun-
ty and state fund. This percentage,
subtracted from the total necessary
appropriation for the county, leaves
$6729S.S1 to be distributed among the
Knox county districts, on the basis of
the aggregate attendance.
Jefferson Township
The ratio Of aggregate attendance
In Jefferson township to the county
figures out at .0183, and the amount
that will be received on this attend
ance is $1231.57. And when all is to-
tailed, the sum that Jefferson town
ship will receive is $3631.57.
Local Levy
The minimum of two mills, which
comes within the 10 mill limit, times
the $l,3O6,440 of the last tax duplE-
cate, equals $2,612.SS. The tuition
levy will make $1,3O6.44. Hence the
amount that Jefferson township can
raise for the year 192O.21 is $7,55O.s9,
without the vote of the people.
Jefferson township will employ, in
all probability, seven teachers, at a
cost of 5000 per teacher, which will
amount to $4,000. The other expenses
including the school wagon, inter-
est on debts, repairs, and other nec-
essities-will make a sum total of
$8O50.91.

RIVER TERMINALS ARE
DOING BIG BUSINESS
Modern Equipment Will Be In
stalled Within Sixty Days.

The new incline to be used at the
municipal river terminals for loading
and unloading barges or steamboats, is
almost completed The modern hoist
ing machinery, ordered several months
ago, has not been delivered, but the
terminal commissioners expect to be
able to complete the new equipment
within the next two months. More
than 100000 Is being expended for
new machinery, which will make the
terminal tsystem the most complete
between st. Louis and New Orleans.
The business done at the river ter
minals is constantly growing. Ware
house facilities must be increased soon,
as well as the number of spur tracks.
The Increase in business in heavy build
ing material and farm implements in
the Memphis territory, has brought
heavy demands for warehouse space at
the terminals, and every building is
filled to the limit.
One bargeload Of cotton was sent to
New Orleans this week and 20 more
carloads are awaiting arrival OF other
barges.
First steps by the government engi-
neers to protect the banks below the
terminal were taken this week. Ten
large barges have been moored at the
bank to break the force of the current,
which during all the recent high water
has been undermining 1t so that as the
river falls, the banks cave in. No
slides of any consequence have occurred
this week
Work of removing the wall of the old
brick warehouse which faces the river,
is being carried on. Probably 80 feet
of the west end of the warehouse will
be torn down. Wreckage OF the old
wooden shed, part Of which fell into the
river two weeks ago, is also being re-
moved and SalVaRe6
