Backward Glance 20 Years
Shows Interesting Facts
(Continped from Page Onel .

with that of a corresponding week
of january 1882, the growth and
development of twenty years Is
greatly noticeable.
The paper of January 1912 was
of six column size, with 1884 inch
columns. The A3 columns of the
paper were divided as follows: IA
columns of news, which equal 1880
lines, 16 columns of advertising and
Is columns of plate. The Herald of
January 1882 is eight columns
wide, % inches in length, compris-
ing a total of GA columns. These are
divided into 20 columns of adver-
Using and A columns of news, or
8,712 lines of reading matter. The
comparison shows a gain of eight
times in the news matter.
To print this greater Herald it
was necessary to install modern
machinery. The present machine
power consists of two linotype ma
chimes, a fast two revolution cy-
Under press, electric caster, modern
proof press, metal saw, stones and
a great amount of type, together
with two high speed job presses
and all other machinery and nipple
ments necessary in the production
of commercial printing. The man
power has only been increased by
one man, six being employed today,
instead of five as in the past.
The increase of taxation, in other
words, has been partly explained by
the growth and improvement Of
these institutions, and the balance
can be attributed to all the other
advantages, such. as good roads.
good schools, etc., which through
twenty years have. been authorized
by the taxpayers themselves.
These comparisons lead one to
wonder if the. next twenty years
will see an equal advancement
made as during the past. Imagine
linotype machines operated without
the touch of human fingers and
other equally as startling things
which may happen. All things sum-
fned up, we may and will kick
about the high tax of today, but
who would want to be taken bodily
and placed back into the sphere
of twenty years ago? Well venture
to say, not one of us.

CsM.- Babcock said when shown
the report. "At least there were in
creases in the classes which cause
the heaviest wear onNthe highways.
Gasoline consumption increased
several per cent in 1881, partly due
to the greater proportion of heavy
vehicles and partly to the greater
average milage."
The decrease in "T' trucks is
partly due to the fact that many
who formerly listed their trucks in
this class, now list them in the tx"
class. The tax rate is only one per
cent higher and the "X'' plates per-

The 1881 figures, compiled by the
Secretary of State, are subject to
slight revisions when final returns
are in, but this will not change the
proportion.

the score being 1913 in favor Of

the score being 14-13 in favor Of
the locals at the end Of the period.
The final period was a slashing
battle. Sank Centre scored three
field goals and free throw in the
first minute and half Of the final
quarter giving them a lead which
finally put the game on ice. The
final score was Sank Centre a.,
Melrose 20.
The Melrose rooters gave a fine
demonstration of sportsmanship
and while seriously disappointed
accepted their defeat gracefully.
The starting line-ups of the two
teams were as follows:
SauK centre Melrose-
Iwinski, RG Kahlmann. RF
Hamliton, LG Hennenkamp, DF
Dubois, G Kaufman. C.
Domke, RIG Well. re-
kinsella, G LG Latzka, RG
On almost the first play after the
whistle Iwinski fouIed Kuhlma nm
but he missed the gift shot. The
floor because of being very slippery
handicapped Sank Centre. Kuhl-
mann scored the first field goal of
the game. Well scored another.
Dubois was given two throws on
being fouled by Kaufman. He
scored one and missed the other.
Iwinski then scored a beautiful
field goal from the side. Kaufman
scored on free throw. Kinse:;a
shot field goal and just before the
quarter ended he scored on free
throw giving Sank Centre 10 5
advantage.
On the opening play Of the Sac
ond quarter Iwinski fouled Well
who knotted the count, six all. Well
was slightly injured and Melrose
took time out. Korf replaced DOM.
Ike at guard for Sank Centre and
Lemm replaced Latzke after the lat
ter had fouled Dubois who scored
a free throw. Iwinski committed
his third personal and Lemm made
good. Lemm scored a sparkling
field goal.
Kinsella and Iwinski looped long
shots early in the third quarter, tie
ing the score, Kinsella's scored On
a free throw and Hams" dribble
for field goal gave Sank Centre
14-11 advantage. Just before the
quarter ended Lemm shot another
beauty, the period ending, Sank
Centre leading by IA to Is score.
At the very opening of the final
quarter Ham" shot a good one
over his shoulder at the side Of the
basket, as he fell backwards 10 the
floor. Ham" fouled Well; not
good. kaufman gave Kinsella two
shots on foul; one was good.
Kennedy scored a pair of field goals
in short order. Iwinski, Kinsella
and Dubois scored sparkling field
goals almost in the flash of an eye.
Ham" was awarded pair of shots
on being fouled by Well. He ne
gotiated both. This was all for
Sank Centre. Just before the final
whistle Iwinski committed his
fourth foul on Lemm. He scored
on the play bringing Melrose's to-
tai to 20. 1880. - -.

GOVERNOR TELLS BRICKER
TO REMAIN ON THE JOB

Around important public utility
versy embarrassing to gentlemen On
the Republican state ticket. John
w. Bricker, suddenly resigned from
the state Public Utilities Commits
sion to devote himself to campaign
ing for election as attorney general.
Grafton he had given to the long
pending Ohio Bell Telephone and
Columbus gas rate cases involving
issues of great moment to the pub
lie. And thereby he brought down
upon his head insinuations that he
seeks to "run out' for fear any de-
cision in which he may participate
might damage his candidacy.
Whatever his motive may have
been, Governor George White abb
ruptly checked his plans by firmly
insisting that Brickerls official
duty should be his first obligation.
Therefore the governor declined to
accept the resignation Immediately
and urged Commissioner Bricker to
finish at once the work for which
the state has generously compen-
stated him. Out of the verbal con-
fict precipitated by the incident
grew discussion as to the propriety
of holding an appointive job on inn
portant state commissions, sworn
to give impartial consideration to
problems involving public and pri-
vate rights, and at the same time
seeking elective office.
This centered attention also up
on two other Republican candidates.
One, Frank w. Geiger, another
member of the utilities commission,
has indicated no intention of re-
signing although he aspires to cleo
tion as a supreme court Judge. The
other, George C. Braden, chairman
of the state tax commission, hangs
on while he pursues his candidacy
for the office of secretary of state.
Incidentally, Braden's grandson also
is on the tax commission payroll ar

formerly drew $95 month on the
Pointing cut that thousands of
dollars of taxpayers money has
been spent on the undecided CO.
1umbus gas rate case, the Columbus
Dispatch scolded editorially:
"Politics is playing ducks and
brakes with this matter Of vital pub
lie interest. Two members of the
commission are candidates for high
state office. Mr.. Geiger's name ap
pears upon the judicial ticket for
associate justice Of the supreme
court of Ohio, and Mr.. Bricker is
the Republican candidate for at
torney general.
'Their dual situation as commits
sioners and candidates became po-
litically embarrassing. To lean to-
ward the peoples interest in the
gas case might bring down upon
their heads the wrath Of the public

way of becoming powerful in po-
litical campaigns. To lean toward
the utilities might lose them the
votes of hundreds of thousands OF
gas consumers. It was inconceiv-
able that these gentlemen, although
finding themselves between the
devil and the deep blue sea-, should
entertain any thought of delaying
their decision until after the No
vember election, or resort to the al
tentative of ducking their sworn
duty by resigning. AS for Mr.
Bricker, public opinion will hold
him responsible for any fuke in the
gas case. If he hasn't the courage
to do his sworn duty as member
of the commission; if he lacks that
fine sense of responsibility so
necessary in a good public servant,
he is not fit to be chief law off,

should withdraw his name from the
Republican ticket as candidate for

While the capital buzzed with
comment and Republican nominees
faces turned red, Democrats noted
with satisfaction that they present
three candidates for the offices men
toned in the critical discussions,
who are not open to censure on any
of the points mentioned. They are
Herbert S. Duffy, candidate for at
torney general; George S. Myers,
candidate for secretary of state,
and Judge Will P. Stephenson who
aspires to reelection to the ju-
dicial seat which Geiger covets.
