Distribution of Gas Tax

The next distribution of approxi-
mately $1.O0O,O00 of gasoline tax
money to the various municipalities
of the state will be early in Decem-
Der according to statement of the
state auditor this week. These mu-
inequalities have already received
their first share of the gas tax re-
ceipts which amounted to $911, ,401.
The second distribution will be made
in December, the third next June
and the fourth about the first OF
next August. The total amount to
be distributed will be about $4,000
900 In addition to this distribution
the state gets big share for its
highway division, and the collection
of course pays it's own way. With
the liberal amounts to be sent each
county there will be plenty of high
way improvement work and in many
cases this work is already under
way. AS time goes on automobile
owners are finding less and less OBJ
lection to the two cent tax and If
the roads are improved as they
should be there will be little COM
plant offered and no effort made to
repeal the law next year when the
general assembly meets. The hight
of autoists will then be to prevent
an increase in the tax, no thought
being given to asking for repeal OF
the present law.

male. Almost one-half of the female
applicants have been placed in posi-
tions as the demand for female help
has been steadily gaining while the
number of applicants has fallen off
in the same proportion. Of the
male applicants only about one-third
have been placed. But 500 of that
one-third is unskilled labor. The
call for skilled labor and help in
the clerical and professional line has
shown no decrease while the supply
is very limited Free employment
agencies are maintained in Akron,
Cincinnati, Cleveland Columbus,
Dayton, Hamilton, Middletown, To-
ledo, Van Vert, Warren and

for some time has led the list in the
number placed as well as registra-

Vert office has been the smallest.
Three hundred and fifty more
feeble minded boys and girls of the
state will be received through the
commitments court at the state hos
pital during the next sixty days ac-
cording to announcements just
made. This is made possible by the
completion of two new cottages at
the Orient branch of the Columbus
hospitals. Two of the five cottages
have been completed and will be
ready for occupancy within another
month. The new patients will be
transferred from the Columbus in
stitution and the new commitments
will be made to Columbus, the new
arrivals taking the place of those
transferred to Orient. Brick in the
new cottages at Orient was made by
prisoners mattresses and sheets by
inmates of the hospital themselves,
and the furniture and fixtures by
prisoners at Mansfield. The Orient
branch has been designated sep
arate institution and will be under
its own management.

COLUMBUS LETTER
{By Chas. w. Rife)


TO Investigate Election Machinery
The special legislative committee
appointed to investigate the election
machinery of Ohio and make re-
port which will not only simplify
the elections but reduce the cost at
the same time, will meet within a
rev days, according to announce
ment made by Col. Thad HI. Brown,
chairman, and secretary of state.
The committee has been spending
considerable time already securing
data on the election laws of other
states, and now have the experience
of a state election on amendments to
aid them in their work. This exper-
ience is expected to prove valuable
in many ways. Colonel Brown is of
the opinion that a considerable
amount of money can be saved Ohio
taxpayers by few important
changes in the present law, but will
not in any way weaken the system.
The investigation work will continue
for some time, but as soon as COM
pleted meetings will be held and the
recommendation of the committee
made public.
n =
Final efforts to break the dead
lock between the state office build
ing commission and the legislative
advisory committee will be made
Friday when special meeting of
the two bodies will be held. Under
present conditions each body virtu-
ally holds veto power over the other

tion of the proposed $4,000,000 Of

sistent failure to agree upon site
for the structure. In the meantime
Ohio state offices are scattered over

sity, but although the commissions
are both Republican, agreement has
