quite a shock to his family, and
many friends, as the following lines

COLUMBUS LETTER
(By Chas. w. Rife


Many plans are being discussed
for the raising of additional funds
with which to meet the require
of the state by the present
legislation, and exactly what meth
Cd will be followed, is a matter of
uncertainty. VI is gen
orally agreed that the corporation
franchise tax will be restored to
the point that it will produce an
amount equal to the old willis
act 1T would not be at all sur
prising if Il stamp tax was also i'm
posed upon mortgages, and prof.
ably deeds and other conveyances
which must be recorded. The entire
proceeds of these stamp acts would
be turned into the state treasury.
with the exception of the actual
cost of operation. A billboard tax
is also being discussed and may
be passed. Ohio has never faced
such a condition as that OF today.
Rapidly growing in every nook and
corner, and work OF operation of
state departments must also of ne
cessity increase, and with increased
work there is additional cost The
final solution of the states finan-
cial difficulties is far from being
settled, and at no time during
his administration has Governor
Vic Donahey spent as much time in
studying every angle of the prob
lem as he has that of increasing
the states revenues. Members of
both branches of the general assem-
bly, are doing the same, and a solu-
tion that will be as equitably dis
tributed as possible may be expect

go to others than Governor vic
Donahey and his appointee, George
F. Schlesinger. Funny no one
thought of changing the plan under
Republican administrations when
there were all sorts of stories be-
ing published without any damage
suits being filed against the pub
fishers. Ohio isn't going to have
any dollar year men to spend it's
millions for highway construction
and maintenance, but some legis-
lative committees just had to start
something, and then when they de-
feat the plan they return home to
tell how they prevented this or
that scheme to put politics in bus
mess.

One of the best students of high
way building in the state suggests
that if there must be board of
commission, why not make one of
three members, the term of one ex-
piring during the administration of
each governor. He would not have
them serve for the honor, but for
salary commensurate with the
duties of the office. and that real
honest-to-goodness business men be
selected for the commission. 9th

Fifteen counties reported no au-
tomobile fatalities during the first
ten months of 1926, and several of
them have never had an automobile
fatality, 1t is noticeable that most
of the counties not recorded in the
death list have few or no state
roads. Adams county, whose first
improved highway became available
in 1926, celebrated the event by
stepping into the death column with
two fatalities. Those counties with
out fatal automobile accidents dur
ing the period are: Brown, Carroll,
Clermont, Clinton, Defiance, Fay
cite, Henry, Highland, Holmes, Mon
roe, Morgan, Pike, Preble, Putnam
and Vinton.

his shoulders-"I hate the idea OF
marrying money"
She laughed again.
Poor Give! 1 think the old objec-
ton stands. Mr.. Lambert Stone is
rich, but in all probability my father
is a very poor mainland not only
poor but crazy! 1t isn't nice to talk

lection" she said. 1.-THE question as
to whether I am rich or poor really

Of long-lost relations means that I'm

He was sitting opposite her, his
elbows on his knees, a. strange look in
his eyes.

She shook her head
You're going to marry me next

in Gods world will stop that"
There is something that will stop
it," She had taken sudden resolve.

A Strange Occurrence.

Gives fiat was indeed a restful
spot. AT his suggestion Betty Carew,
newly released from the hospital, had
broken her journey to have tea with
him. She lay in a deep armchair,
soothed by the grays and blues of
the appointments. The geraniums In
the window boxes were a mass of scar
let blooms, relieved by the pale gold
of the calceolarias. Through the
open easement a gentle breeze stirred
the curtains and brought a faint fra
GRANGE Of heliotrope from the little
garden below. Benson was setting
the tea table, a capable figure Of a
man. Give had gone down to get
an evening newspaper with the ac-
count of the attack upon Bill Hol-
brook.

"Yes, miss, it is remarkably well
situated and very close to the tubes. "
She smiled to herself at this utili-
tartan view.

Benson went on, ''and / have no

an afterthought, and he laughed

what We're those dreams of yours
Betty? I've got an idea that, when
we're able to disentangle reality from

She dismissed the subject with a

the conversation into more pleasant
channels. ''''

INDIAN FAIR AT Pop
LAR SEPT. l5-l6-l7

Poplar, MOnt.-At a meeting held
at the Agency office a few DAYS ago
1t was decided to hold the Indian fair
on September the 18th, 10Th and 18th.
The various Indian Farm Bureau
Chapters of the reservation were rep
resented by delegates at the meeting
and great interest shown in the COM
ing event.
That the Indian is fully as much
interested in the educational features
as IN the entertainment part was evil
denced by the interest they displayed
IN regard to their agricultural exhi-
bits and by the nature of the enter
talnment program adopted by them.
1t was decided that the entertain
ment program was to consist only of
old time Indian sports, such as teepee
racing, horse racing, etc., with no car
nlval features. All games of chance
will be strictly barred.
The agriculture and livestock ex-
tension program was generally dis
cussed at this meeting, with the re-
suit that about forty dairy cows and
SIX hundred sheep will be shippe6 in
for distribution among the Indians on
the reservation. While the plans of
distribution and payment have not
been all completed and probably will
vary somewhat to fit individual cases.
1t was intimated that sheep would be
distributed in about thirty head lots.
and that applicants for sheep would
have to show that they have sufficient
feed, water and shelter to care for
them. Payment of $1.OO per head will
be required at the time the sheep
are delivered, with additional paw
ments to be made at shearing time
and when lambs are sold.
An initial payment of $500 will be
required on each dairy cow, with fur
Their payments at the time calves are
sold.
Plans were also discussed and out
lined to put on an intensive and con-
structive campaign to encourage di-
versified cropping of their lands
which includes an educational pro-
gram to familiarize them with the
latest and approved methods.
