TRIP TO WASHINGTON, ID. C.
(By T. r. Walraven)

On Thursday evening, Jan. II, a
number of The r. l.. Dollings rep
resent tatives left Columbus, to at
tend the annual century club held
in the new Willard hotel at Wash
ington, d. c., Jan 1918. On ar
irving Friday morning about 10,
we were conveyed to the new
Willard hotel, one of the best in the
city, where we met quite number
of the eastern organizations of the
R. L. Dollings Company. A bus1-
ness session was then held in the
hotel, and after luncheon, the en-
tire order was then taken In the al
ternoon for sightseeing trip over
the city. Many historical points
were visited, few of which l make
mention of: Lincoln's memorial,
Arlington cemetery, where thou
sands of Civil and world war veter-
ans are buried, Washington's monu-
ment which is 555 feet high, (the
highest piece of masonry IN the
world. 1t is 55 feet square at the
base and 35 feet square at the top.
The foundation on which IT rests is
SO feet below the level of the Po-
tomac river; $4,000 pounds of ce-
ment was used in just erecting the
foundation. The cost of this monu-
ment was about one and half
millions We then passed through
the supreme court, the house OF
representatives and house of SEN
ate, all which were in session. This
about concluded the trip Friday p.
m. Saturday a. m. another business
session was held, after which we all
marched to the White House where
we met President Harding, extend
ing to us hearty hand shake.
Luncheon was again served, after
which we were free to entertain
ourselves as we saw fit.
Quite a number of US took the
Blue Bus line to Mt. Vernon to visit
Washington old home. This Of
course was our most interesting
sight of all. Having passed through
nearly all the apartments OF his
home, we saw the library room,
Martha's kitchen. the spinning
room, and Washington's bed room,
the room in which he died, snd last
of all went to his tomb.
Thence we returned to Alexan-
uIId, Nd., WHcT6 We FlSllcQ tuC Olu
Christ Church and Masonic Temple,
where Washington attended SER
vices. In this church Washington
had his own pew. 1t had seats like
the seats of train turned toward
each other. During the sermon
hour the people faced the minister,
and then turned to face the choir
in The rear.
In the Masonic Temple we noticed
Washington's wedding gloves, his
old library chair in which to install
new officers, and last, but not least,
his old trowel which he used in
laying the cornerstone of the Capt.
toll
1t certainly is trip worth while
for any one, especially would be so
for any school boy or girl. We wish
to say in closing, that we
had the pleasure of listening to a
telegram from one of the first Ma
tional banks Of Baltimore, Md, COM

Dollings Co. The r. l.. Dollings Co.

articles used by famous men.

After supper we went to Univer-
sity Hall and saw pictures Of a
farmers trip through the Orient.
Next morning we went to Campbell
Hall and heard more lectures. All
the lectures were very interesting
as they had the stage fixed up to
represent what they were talking
about, and girls to show the right
and wrong way of doing things. We
then went to Pomerene Hall and
played recreational games in the
gymnasium. After dinner we went
to University Hall and the state and
county winners were annoupced.
There We're IS or 16 county and
two state winners. The state win
ners could choose between a free
trip to Washington and a scholar
ship at the o. S. U. That evening we
went to moving picture show.
Thursday we went to see the
state house and the ten cent stores
heard more lectures at Campbell
Hall. In the evening we saw Amer
ica the Beautiful illustrated, which
showed some very interesting and
beautiful parts of America.
Friday morning we went to Uni
versity and Campbell Halls, where
we heard more lectures. One of
those lectures was illustrated by
very funny moving pictures. DR.. w.
0. Thompson, president of the o.
S. u, gave short address. After
dinner we heard more lectures, and
went to tea party, which was Civ
en- by the Home Economics depart
ment. After supper went to Univer-
sity Hall, as this was stunt night.
Each county that wished to, gave a
stunt. Saturday morning some Of
the girls went to see the poniten-
tiary, but l did not for fear of be-
ing left there.
The whole bunch of girls did not
go the same place at the same time,
but all saw the same at different
times. And sing,-why we sang,
and yelled, any time or place, al
most. or course they were our

TAXATION BY TAXPAYERS

Ohio's taxation system is a
hodge-podge. Scrap it. Let people
fix their own rates. Briefly, that is
Governor Donahey's diagnosis and
prescription for the problem that has
haffled numberless state administra-
tions.
Donahey was elected on his record
as state auditor and for his knowl-
edge of fiscal affairs. He acknowl-
edges this by giving the state the
benefit of his experience in his first
message.
He tells the Republican Legisla-
ture, in effect-if you don't like my
plan, put it into law and submit it
to popular referendum. Let the
people decide.
Government, like the hungry
leech, wants More! More. More!' +"
says Donahey. Government is top
heavy. Officialdom is increasing
and expanding excessively. Hereto
fore, legislatures have met from
year to year to pluck more taxes to
feed this growing nav.
The present General Assembly
has abolished most state taxes. The
governor asks it to relinquish it's
control further over direct taxation
70 the people in the various taxing
districts
He calls his plan majority home
NQle in taxation and debt creation. :"
The governor wants the ground
cleared for his plan. He calls for
AbOlishment of the State Tax Com
mission and transferring few of
Ms functions to some other depart
Dent, ultimate removal of all direct
Gate levies and repeal Of all tax
Date and debt limitation.
The governor rightly says the
lucial feature is repeal of all limi-
Ations. But he points out that. in
y years, with limiting and relimit-

ne, taxes have increased 200 per

ing, taxes have increased 200 per
cent
The new tax edifce would be
simply an expression of the will OF
the people The governor would
give the people of each taxing, dis
trict direct and full control over fu-
ture increases in tax levies, debts
and sources of revenue.
"Why should they (the people,
not be permitted to vote their tax
rates as high as they want them and
issue as many bonds as they desire
so long as they themselves pay the
bills they create?" asks Donahey.
Indeed, why shouldn't they? If
they want to tax themselves, that's
their own business. They should
have the say, not anyone else.
The Donahey plan is taxation by
taxpayers, instead of by taXspend-
ers.-Columbus Citizen.

THRIFT WEEK

The national thrift committee of
the Y. M c. A. has designated this
week as thrift week" This thrift
week is an annual affair, and begins
on Franklin's birthday, because
Franklin was the father OF thrift. .
The object is to emphasize some
special thrifty enterprise, such as
Gown Your Own Home" pay your
bills promptly, start savings ac-
count, pay your Democrat subscrip-
ton, etc. The object clear through
is a good one. Take the matter of
Gown Your Own Home" The high
rents have caused many to buy
homes that otherwise would not
have done so. To own ones
home is a goal towards which all
should strive. Most anyone who
pays rent regularly could in the
course of time own his home.
One reason many have not cared
to own their homes is because
of the heavy tax burden owning
real estate involves. However,
both the national and state govern
ment are working on this tax prob
lem of making the tangible proper
ty bear less taxes, and there are
good reasons to believe that they
will accomplish their aims. Through
the savings bank it is possible to
pay out on property. While many
reason that it is just as cheap to
rent as to own property, the salts
faction one should have in know
ing that he lives in his own proper
1y, and knowing that he can live in
it without danger of having to get
out because the property is sold, as
is the~case often in renting, should
count much in favor of home own
ing. Then again many people could
pay for home in a few years, by
investing a certain amount of earn
ings in that home, instead of spend
ing it as they go along, with
nothing at the end of years to show
for it. One often runs across peo-
pie who live much the same whether
they draw small or large salaries
it all goes. A good plan to follow
is to put aside certain percent of
whatever is earned, whether that
salary be large or small To do so
may pinch bit as one goes along,
but the pinch will finally right it
self, and it won't hurt half SO much
in youth and middle age, if by so
doing, in old age when working
days are about over. they are indie
pendent enough to have a home of
their own all paid for Along this
line of thrift, watch your invest
ments of your hard earned cash.
Don't try to make it work too hard.
There are many safe investments.
all of which yield practically the
same returns. There are some in
vestments that have yielded above
the average of what is called safe
investments. However, to expect
more than Sc, one is taking a risk.
which is like any other risk-some-
times it pays, but more often it does
not.

club songs, and believe me we could
make some noise as there were
about 500 altogether. But we did
not all get home without some mis-
haps in the way of losing something
or falling down, etc, but nothing of
a serious nature. Most all the lost
things were found, and restored to
their owners.
The trip was worth many, many
times the effort l made in trying to
win it. / never even dreamed of be-
ing SO lucky.
Will just say, boys and girls, do
not hesitate in joining the club.

Prior to that time there had

Lieutenant Pike in 1905, and it
was after him that Pixies Peak

Long made extensive explora-

the close of the Mexican war,
Mexico ceded her rights to this

Greek, a few miles south Of
where Denver now stands. The
following spring tens of thou
sands of men f1ocked into what
was then called the Pixies Peak
country. In 1859 Denver became
town Of one thousand inhabi-

grown into big city with news
