iYpters, / think l am,right! This has
nothing to do with the county, as
each district votes separately. Now,
Mr.. Davis will you please tell why
you fooled the voters of Deerfield
township into voting three-mill
levy in 1920, when it was not neces-
sary to vote one until 1921? AS
they voted the levy in 1920 they ex-
pected the state aid you promised
them. Did they get it? No. When
the state man was looking over the
districts applying for state aid and
coming to Deerfield, he said you
do not need state aid. The people
your schools. When the voters of
Deerfield township found out they
had been fooled and got no state
aid in 1921, you know what they
would do for it in 1922. AS to the
other charges, there is just about as
much truth in them as the three
mill levy. AS written by Mr.. Davis
they are groundless.
Now the Calland affidavit. l have
talked with a number of gentlemen
who were present at the caucus, and
they were much surprised at Mr..
Calland's affidavit. We just leave
this matter to the judgment of the
voters. We have nothing more to
say about it at this time. Will Mr..
Davis tell the voters why he is TAX
ing such an active part in the cam
paign? Please tell why.

THAT 2-MrLL ROAD LEVY

One of the propositions to be
voted on Tuesday is wheather an
extraelevy of z-mi1is shall be added
to our taxes for road purposes. This
is similar proposition to the one
we are paying taxes under now,
withsone exception, and that is that
if the proposition carries, this mon
ey shall go to the county commits
sioners for a period of FIVE years,
to be- used where they see fit. When
this was voted on before it was
with ethe understanding that the
money would be returned to the var
ious townships and corporations, to
be used by the trustees or village
officials. We believe the idea to
have this money turned over to the
commissioners will cause our peo-
pie to vote it down. The argument
for the proposition is made that by
putting this money in the hands of
the commissioners they will have a
fund to be used to match up propo-
sitions from places asking for road
Improvements and willing to put up
a certain amount of money. On the
other hand there are sections of the
county just as deserving, but which
haven't the wealth to put up the
cash. which the commissioners
would meet with a similar amount
from the fund, they seek to raise
from the levy. If it is all left in the
hands of the commissioners there
might be places where improve
ments are needed that would not
get a smell of the money We feel
that this money would be the better
distributed if turned back to the
various townships.
There is another feature in this
connection which does not appeal to
many and that is when candidates
for commissioners are up for cleo
tioH, they might argue them
selves into the notion that this
money will be worse needed where
it will control the most votes. Look
ed at from various viewpoints we
believe the proposition should be
voted down.

Concerning the Three Mill Tax

In another column will be found
the official advertisement of sub
mitting the three MILL tax to the
voters of Marion township. A num-
Der Of questions have been asked
concerning this, and in order that
the proposition may be understood
the following are given:
l. Why is this submitted at this
time? Ans. The time for which ii
was voted last expires before next
fall.
2. Will it increase our taxes?
Ans. 1t will not. 1t simply contin-
ues our present school rate.
3. Why should we vote for it?
Ans. No state aid will be given
Marion township unless we vote this
levy.
4. What does "three mills
mean? Ans. It means So on each
81 900 of tax valuation.
5. How much state aid did Mar
ion township schools receive last
year? Ans. $6,O80.75.
S. Will state aid be received to
pay On the new school building il
the three mills" is not voted? Ans
NO. Marion low HSElp Will hoNS ~
pay the entire cost less what has al
ready been received.
7. Why cannot Marion toWnshlf
schools be run without state aid?
Ans. The bonds already issued must
first be paid as they become due
yearly, from the money we pay as
school tax. The balance received
from taxation (after paying the
bonds and interesD would enable
! the schools to be continued as a
present for .aabout half Of the schoo
year.
s. Can the schools be run foi
less than at present? Ans. The law
fixes the minimum salary. Neigh
boring townships are paving The
state schedule. We have difficult!
in getting teachers at present sal
aries. How could they be gotten 10
less?
OLIVER EDGERTON,
President OF Board
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1923-11-01

this proposed measure The argu-
mehts against it are so many that
we will not g6 into them all again
here. The cost to be raised by taxes
for its support would amount TO
more than $31,00O,00u. annually.
To our way of reasoning, while it
has many unjust features, one Of
the worst features is that 1t requires
a residence of but Is years as one
of the qualifications. Applicants
must be 65 years of age. We see
by this that people from other
states, when SO years of age, could
move to Ohio, and at the age of 65
receive the pension. 1t would make
our state the refuge of the INDECENT
and spendthrift of other states.
This measure should be decisively
defeated next Tuesday.
