WANT BEST THOUGHT
ON TAX PROBLEM
CONDITIONS ALARM
AUDITORS OF STATE
Kiwanis Club Endorses Conference
and Appoints, Delegate, to First
Meeting at Columbus, to be Held
, Jan. and 7.

Believing that the question of tax
alton is perhaps the paramount issue
before the people of Ohio today, and
in view Of the fact that the subject
of taxation will be the outstanding
one for consideration by the newly
elected General Assembly, the audi
tors of the state are inaugurating a
movement looking toward the organi-
Zation in Ohio OF those men who are
given to thought on taxation matters
into body, to be known by some such
name as "The Ohio Tax Association. y
The purpose Of this organization
would be to consider and discuss tax
alton matters with the possible view
of being of some assistance in con-
tributing to thought along such lines,
thus tending to clarity views on
Ohio's problem.
The further suggestion is made that
the meeting of this organization could
be held in conjunction with the Audi
tors association. Thus the best talent
in America on the subject Of taxation
might be brought to Columbus from
year to year.
1t is also suggested that taxation
and civic committees Of Chambers Of
Commerce, Farm Bureaus, ,Kfwanis,
Rotary and Exchange clubs, real es-
tate boards, mayors, solicitors, school
men, members of the General As
sembly, ETC., would be interested in a
high grade session Of this character.
The idea was presented to the Me-
dina Kiwanis club at its luncheon
last Friday, endorsed unanimously,
and Fremont o. Phillips was delegat-
ed to represent the local organization
at meeting to be held at the state
capital on Thursday and Friday, Jan.
6 and z.
County Auditor Washburn heartily
favors the plan and was instrumental
in bringing the matter to the atten-
tion Of the Kiwanis club.

TALK ON "THE NAVY"

Members of the Kiwanis club were
entertained and enlightened at their
luncheon last Friday by an old Me-
dina boy, Lieut.. Commander Ross p.
Schlabach, who gave a half-hour talk
on "The Navy. Lieut.. Schlabach
has risen to prominence in the naval
department Of his country by long
years Of hard work and close appli-
cation to duty, and therefore his talk
last Friday was doubly interesting
coming from one who could speak
with such intimate knowledge Of his
subject. Lieut.. Schlabach confined
the brief time allotted him to descrfb-
ing the making of a battle ship, from
the general discussion of the style and
size of vessel to be built, by those in
authority, to the final launching of
the finished leviathan.
