OPEN HOUSE MEETING
TO BE HELD OCT. 7

The President of the Island Club
called a special meeting for We'd
nesday night, of last week, which
was attended by about twenty-five
interested members. Several very
important problems were discussed
and several decisions, important to
lall, were made.
1t was decided to continue the
Open House meetings, making
few changes in policy 1t was
thought by parents and teachers
present, that it would be wiser to
hold them on Friday night, rather
than Monday. The first Friday
of each month will be Open House
night at the Club House, begin
ming Friday of this week, Oct. a.
Young and otherwise are invited
and a good time promised to all.
There will be dancing, with
good music) for the dancers, cards
for the card lovers, but that is only
half of it.
1t seems that the members who
neither play cards nor dance have
been sadly neglected, but we are
going to change all that. We
have some big ideas, on how to
have good time, but we are only
going to divulge these to the good
members who attend next Open
House, Come on, Mothers and
Dads and others, and while the
Juniors are tripping the light fan
tastic in the hall, we are going to
have just as much fun across the
way, You may be a pessimist, hut
we promise to change YOU. atti-
tudc in the first hour. So we are
urging you to risk all and come
this time.
No business meeting will be held
though the committees for the Ban
Quet 10 be held on the 10th, will
be announced If you cannot
serve on any committee you must
be there to defend yourself.
You will find in another col
umn an announcement Of the re-
ception to be given by the Club to
all teachers on the Island, ON
Thursday night, Oct 10 at the
Club house.
All are invited and if you do not
hold membership card in the club
pay your yearly dues of 50c and
become an active member. We
will welcome you.

we'll as individual owners, more
united on an issue than they are at
the present time in opposition to
any increase in the gasoline tax.
One cent a gallon increase in gaso-
line taxes means $6,000,000 more
annually from the pockets of the
automobile owners of Ohio, Mr..
James said, adding, "At the present
time auto owners must pay three
different taxes. First that for the
license tags each year, then the per-
sonal tax, and the gasoline tax Of
two cents per gallon" Why if they
add to the gasoline tax it will cost
many autoists one cent per mile
tax for every mile they drive.
Approximately $13,000,000 is be-
ing collected annually for gasoline
tax, while the revenue from the sale
SO, 1925, 900. That is almost $685.
100000 collected annually from
Ohio automobile owners, while the
personal tax will average almost
$40 per machine which means $15,-
100000 more. This does not count
the loss from operation due to de-
probation, liability, theft and other
insurance which most automobile
owners carry. Automobiling has
been the source of pleasure as well
as business for millions of Ohio res
idents. If the General Assembly
adds to the gasoline tax it is going
to prove a prohibitive measure for
many who now operate machines
going to and from work cannot af-
fort the expense.

Davis Appointees Still On Job

A little man with a big voice
one that reached the ears of every
Republican state senator - came
down from Cleveland the other day,
and protested against any of the
Harry L. Davis appointees to posi-
tions with salaries attached, being
removed. And before he had left
the city word was given out Off
cially that the senate would not
confirm Republican appointees of
Governor Vic Donahey. Then the
governor, who always fights in the
open, came right back and said
something like this, .All right
there" While the public, innocent
lookers-on, were of the opinion that
when they elected Governor Vic for
third term they thought they
spoke loud enough for the senators
to hear. But it seems different,
and unless something unforeseen
occurs, few more appointments to
positions with a salary attached
get that, salary attached--will be
confirmed by the present senate.
Not single, Harry Davis appointee
has yet been disturbed, and it don't
seem they will be as long as the lit
tie man with big voice from Cleve-
land has his say. And then when
the session is over it wouldn't be a
bit surprising to see them recess,
again. The senate has been in con-
tinuous session now for more than
four years and it may be two more
before they adjourn, if in fact they
ever do. Then some wonder why
Ohio keeps on electing Vic Donahey
governor. One of the Republican
leaders, not in the "ring" said af-
ter the action was taken, THAT
means fourth term for Donahey."
And the governor, along with A
substantial majority of Ohio voters
thinks he is entitled to commission
appointments the same as every
other governor in the history of the
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1927-02-03
