discusses Eject OF Organization
Editor Democrat: - There has
been organized in this county, as in
other counties OF the state, branch
of the Ohio Association of Township
Trustees and Clerks. It's purposes
are to combat Capitalization in
government, to build Legislative
programs, and to study their rights
and duties as township officials.
The organizer from the state as
sociation spoke eloquently and with
much truth, but made one state
ment which needs, | think, a little
airing. He made it quite plain that
the states attorney general had
made a ruling to the effect that the
trustees could draw pay for at
tending these county meetings.
This of course would be a most
potent factor in holding the asso-
citation together. Otherwise it might
have some trouble.
1 The idea seemed to be taken ia
vorably at the time. but some are
/ doubtful after thinking it over,
/ and more will be, ! believe, when
their attention is called particularly
+, to the merits Of the matter.
| All of it's purposes, except last
mentioned, are similar to those ot
other organizations serving with

Car Will Hays announces to a
gasping and applauding public-as
he probably saw it-a new and lofty
code of ethics for the movies. No
more profanity, naughtiness, law
lessness, drunkenness, shameless
ness or offensiveness. Sounds good,
but sounds a little familiar Some
people remember when Mr.. Hays,
boss politician, left the Harding
cabinet to take his present job and
to "clean up the movies" Every
little while he would announce a
new cleaning of the movies. But as
the old French saying has it, the
more they changed the more they
were the same thing. SO if Mr..
Hays noted that the applause was
q little weak at his latest announce
ment, he ought to have pretty
good idea as to the reason.-The
