the school board met here Monday

because of some changes made by
the last legislature, in the laws con-

the employment of teachers was
deferred until the August meeting
Action on the dividing of the grade
school here and also the construc-
ton of an addition to the school
building was also deferred. We
know not whether this is a step to-
ward the Capitalization of the
schools of the township, but we do
know that Capitalization will never
be a success with such road condi-
tlons as we find here. The children
who must travel ten or twelve miles
each day, would not have an equal
chance with the children who live
under the shadow of the school

COLUMBUS LETTER
(By Chas. w. Rife)

The usual talk of an extra session
of the legislature has been started
this year and has about as much real
value as it generally has, and not
bit more. The only difference be-
/ tween the talk this year and other
years is that it has been started
rather early. There are always in
terests which favor the return of
the legislature. If they return they
must come of their own accord as
no adjournment was taken, but both
branches are merely in recess. Gov
elnor Donahey might be able to
call them, but if he did he would
take all the responsibility for any
thing that occurred during the ses-
sion, and he has the reputation of
moving too cautiously for anything
like that There are a great many
complications in the law regulating
the sale of license tags for 1926.
Auto owners won't realize this until
they try to secure the new brown
and white tags and then they are
going to say many things that won't
look good in print. But even so they
don't need to worry about the gem
eral assembly returning to make it
even more difficult to get the tags.
OF course the new law makes it
harder for the one or two hundred
folks who steal machines or make a
living bootlegging, to get license
plate, but at the same time it makes
1T equally as hard for the million or
more others to secure them. Auto
owners will do well to carefully have
at hand their bill of sale for their
automobile, for this will be one of
the papers demanded OF all regis
trars when the tags are issued next
year.
In anticipation of an even greater
demand for automobile license tags
for 1926, Thad II. Brown. secretary
OF state, has placed an order for
100000 of the new tags, which
will be brown and white in color.
This is 100000 pair and the larg-
est order ever placed for auto IL
cense tags. They are being made at
the penltentiary, and already the
work has started SO there will be no

new method of selling the tags next
year it is going to be difficult prop
osition for many auto owners to get
some special license number as they
have in the past. Requests for ia
vorite numbers of the 1926 tags are
already being received by Colonel
Brown, and will be given his person
al attention in due time, but under
the revised method of selling tags
next year, starting January /, it will
not be such an easy matter to grant
all requests. Each year these requests
for favorite numbers run into the
thousands and much extra work has
been required to grant them all.
