BONUS AND POLL TAX
ISSUE IN ELECTION
HELD IN Ohio SOON
tBy Associated Press,

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 1o-Although
there will be no state or regular coun-
ty officials on the ticket at the COM
ing November election. voters will
find several things of interest on
which to express choice.
On the state ticket there will be
three constitutional amendments: sol
der bonus, poll tax and senatorial re-
districting.
Probably the first question of state
importance is the soldier bonus
amendment. which would authorize
the issuance of s25,00O,000 in bonds
TO pay former soldiers, sailors and
marines who were in the service dur
ing the World war $40 for each month
served, total not to exceed $3.50.
The American Legion is expected to
make a vigorous campaign for adop-

May Rearranee Districts.
Politicians generally will be inter
ested in the proposal TO rearrange the
state senatorial districts. Most of the
present districts would be consider.
ably altered by the re-grouping OF
counties
Opposition to the amendment is ex-
pected from some localities affected
and its adoption is regarded as by no
means assured. The redistricting
would, it is generally contended among
legislators. throw the senate Republi.
can in normal Republican years and
Democratic in normal Democratic
years.
The poll tax amendment was the
only taxation proposal submitted by
the last legislature, it being the only
item that the two branches of the leg.
islature could agree upon.
For the first time in many years
there will be no prohibition amend
ment or prohibition enforcement law
up for the approval of the voters.
See Spirited Contests.
While there will be no regular
county officials elected, county cleo.
tions are expected to be enlivened by
the selection of three members of the
county boards of education under a
law passed by the last legislature Re
ports from number of counties in
dictate spirited contests in the election
Of these new officials.
For anumber of years, county edu

Der, have been chosen by the presi
dents of the local boards of education
within the counties. There was much
opposition to this system and rura
legislators, during the last session

at large.
Candidates for the positions were
nominated by petition, the time limit
for filing the petitions expiring Sept

DRAMATIC PLAY 10 he
GIVEN THIS EVENING
The First Opportunity Columbia
Citizens Have Had of Seeing
This Drama.

Columbia citizens and students will be
given an opportunity of witnessing the
first attempt at drama by the noted
essayist and novelist, c. X. Chcsierton,
in his play, Magic which will be pre-.
senied tonight in the University Audi.
forum by the lDrvereux Players;
who return to Columbia under the aus.
pices Of the Dramatic Arts Club. The
play presented this afternoon was Ibscn's
"Rosmcrsholm.
DR.. R. L. Ramsey, professor of Eng.
lish in the University, summarizes these
plays in the following paragraphs:
'.lbsen's 'Rosmerholm' is one Of the
most powerful of the great Norwegian.
social dramas, and contains one Of his
most famous roles, that Of the heroine
Rebecca West, part TINT has been
superbly rendered on the American stage
by Mrs. Fiskc and many other noted
actresses. Like all Of Ibscn's social plays
this drama is aimed al the head Of a
lie, one Of the current falschoods which
he regarded as undermining the whole
structure Of modern society.
-The lie that Ibscn attacks in this
play is the idea that sincerity justifics
action, or that no one can be con.
demncd for anything he does provided
he is perfectly sincere in believing il is
right.
The heroine in the play, Rcbeccs
West, is a.convinced individualist. She
robs another woman Of her husband.
love and drives her TO suicide, doing il
all with an absolutely clear conscious
and remaining true to her convictions
throughout. But Ibsen teaches that
sheer individualism always defeats il.
self in the end, and Rebecca's sincerity
docs not save her from final self-desiruc-
tion.
&c. X. Chesterton's Magic is the
one attempt at the dramatic form by the
noted English esssyist, novelist. and
master Of paradox. Chesterton is the
wittiest Of living English writers, NOT
even excepting Bernard Shaw, and also
enc Of the wisest. Believing firmly in
The old truths Of religion and philosophy,
he knows how to present them in a
fresh light.
This play belongs to the large class
Of modern dramas which may be called
miracle plays, and which introduce the
supernatural into story of modern life.

acles do happen, has tried 10 show the

Gus, as the producers of those articles view it.
Hence, no greater injury could be done the asri-
cultural classes than to turn back on them stream
of new farmers, to compete with them.
This is complex age. The people of today
have many wants not satisfied by farm products.
They want automobiles, and monographs. and
furniture, and rugs. and moving pictures, and edu-
cation. and travel and host of other things which,
in the development of our civilization have become
necessary. If the entire population had to live on
farms and dig for their living, none of these things
could be had, because there would be nobody to
make them, or to render the service required
1t is because for every man on the farm working
to produce food and fibre there is man and half
in the factory, mine, or other non-agncultura in
dustry. that the farmer of today enjoys advantages
of which the city dweller of century ago never
dreamed
This has been made possible by the adoption of
farm machinery and the increase of efficiency One
man can produce as much today as a score could
in earlier days. If the gangplows and tractors, and
reapers, and planting machines, and other farm
necessities were taken away, more people would
have to farm. because it would take the labor of
more to feed the world But surely it can not be
claimed that the world would be benefited by the
abolition of its labor saving machinery even though
it sent the race back to the idylc state with every
man earning his own living and not much more by
planting and reaping.

fIle, as we'll as every other center of population,
confronted with the problem of dealing with
BIS new force, in some effective way, or confess
hr that the agencies of law and order helpless.
There is no particular mystery about police
Efficiency so far as it has developed in the past.
n continental Europe. before the world war,
police protection and the fight against crime,
cached high water mark The large cities Of
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and other great centers of
population, had fewer crimes than the average
American city of fifty to hundred thousand.
This result was accomplished by the simple yet
difficult method Of keeping every resi-
dent and visitor under public surveillance. The
police made it their business to know where every
man was at all times and what he was doing.
Such crime as the recent double murder at
Jacksonville might have occurred, but there was
not chance in the world for the purnetratcrs to
have escaped
In this country we have not enough policemen

more than once indicated police efficiency is de-

FORWARD TO THE CITY

Many persons talk about the preponderance of
urban over rural population, as shown by the CEN
su of 1920, as if it were national calamity, or
at least calamitous tendency which must be re-
|yersed if the country is to be saved.
The Telegram not share that view. On
lthe contrary. it sees in the increased number of
town and city jewellers an evidence of the prog
Eress of the country in wealth and civilization
There doubtless are many individual cases where
"a town dweer could improve his condition by 60
ing back toward nature just as there are many in
the country who and will better their case by
gong to the city,
) But dsregarding exceptions, we can easily con-
clude that the proportion between the two classes
is the result of natural equilibrium between the
activities of the farm and of other industries
There is no question as to the suficency of the
farm output There is no demand, least of all
among the farmers, for bigger crops. To raise
more tobacco, or corn or cotton, would be ruin
