PENSION COMMITTEE TO
SPONSOR NEW LAW FOR
BUCKEYE STATE
PLANS COMPLETED AT MEETING
IN COLUMBUS WHICH WAS
ATTENDED BY T. A. CON-
NOR, OF LONDON 81

Steps to organize county Old
Age Pension committee in Madison
county will be taken at once, /. A.
Connor, chairman of the Old Age
Pension committee Of London Aerie
No. $50, Fraternal Order of Eagles,
announced today.
Chairman Connor made his an
nouncement following a trip to CO.
lumbus on Sunday, July 81, where
he attended a joint conference of rep
resentatives of the Ohio Fraternal
Order of Eagles and the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, two of the
statewide organizations which are
sponsoring plans to circulate petitions
to initiate an Old Age Pension law
for Ohio.
"The petitions will be placed in cir
culation about August 49, Chairman
Connor said. "We were told at Co
lumbus that approximately 10000
signatures are needed, and that it is
expected to complete the job by Sep
tember Is.
"The Eagles and State Federation
of Labor will be assisted in circu
lating the petitions by the Old Age
Security League and representatives
of various other fraternal and
church groups.
"At the meeting in Columbus, or
ganization of the Ohio Old Age Pen
sion Conference, comprised of repre-
sentatives of all the groups interest
ed, was perfected. This central group
will manage the campaign to init
ate the law, and direct circulation OF
the petitions.
Representatives of all the organ
izations interested are to be invited
to join the Madison County Old Age
Pension committee which is to be
formed at once in this county, an
which will have charge. Of the peti
tions in this district. 49,.
"The proposed Old Age Pension
law provides for maximum pensions
of $4,000 a year for needy Ohioan:
with no other means of support, pro
vided they are 65 years of age OF
over, and have been citizens of the
United States and the State of Ohio
for at least Is years, and must be
residents for one year in the county
in which they make application for a
petition.
Funeral expenses not exceeding
$4,000 are also provided in the law
Residents of fraternaT and oth-
similar institutions can make applica-
tion for pensions.
"The proposed law is statewide
and makes it mandatory that the
General Assembly shall provide the

amount expended in the last year o!
the retiring administration.
Governor White did it in this way
He ordered, effective July, 1881, fol
the last six months of that year, ~.
per cent reduction in all departments
expenditures and for the year 1885,
a 15 per cent reduction. This order
was put into effect by State Finance
Director Bevis. Early in July the gov
erner ordered a further reduction OF
5 per cent. Additional general reve-
nue. fund savings are being made al
the rate Of S9,910,628, according tC
Director Bevis."
Thus is Ohio being pointed out as
an example for other states to copy as
a result of the nationwide interest
in what former y. S. Senator Atlee
Pomerene describes as "The White
Way of Government"
Similarly an Ohio editor, William
A. Eylar, of Georgetown, voices edi-
torial commcndation of the retrench-
ment policy. He remarks in his news
paper:
'"The Democratic state convention
can give the voters concrete and
closeup statement of the White adj
ministration, speaking economically,
which is the only and greatest issue
in the state campaign.
soho voters are delighted with
the manner in which state affairs have
been conducted during the present
state administration. Whatever the de-
preston was bringing has not been
permitted to leave the state founder
ing financially. Figures already show
a reduction of expenses under the
Myers Cooper administration exceed
ing $9,000,000 and still another legis-
lative expense reduction is to be made
in accordance with the slogan that
state affairs shall be conducted on a
basis of the ability to pay. The Dem
ecratic convention presentation of how
the trust has been kept during the
White administration will certainly
leave the Republican state organiza-
tion with no other weapon than to
attempt to make the voters disbelieve
the facts.
"Ohioans don't know what Dave
ingalls, ever did, yet we have him
thrust upon US, the son of rich man,
ready to buy his way into the COVER
norship, the berth which the Ohio die
tator of the Republican party, Walter
F. Brown, has chosen for him. So we
say, watch out for publicity put out
to make you believe Mr.. Ingalls, is of
such outstanding ability that Uncle
George White should never have been
governor. Do you believe it ?"

BONUS VETS
HERESUNDAY
ABOUT $50 WEARY VETERANS
PASS THROUGH LONDON IN
STATE TRUCKS ON WAY
TO WESTERN STATES

Approximately 100 weary bonus
marchers, homeward bound from
Washington, passed through London
about p. m. Sunday in nine state
highway trucks.
The men, many of them negroes,
lolled in the truck beds. Some lay on
the tops of the drivers cabins.
Stopping for fuel in South Vienna,
the fleet speeded through Springfield
to New Paris, four miles from Rich
mond, Ind, where Indiana state
trucks were expected to take them
today across Indiana. Additional
groups were reported crossing the
state in their own cars and others
were hitch-hiking or riding freight
trains. 8aat&
The men entered Ohio at Bridge
port Sunday morning. Fifty of
them who reached the state border
Saturday night, camped at Zanes-
vile fair grounds awaiting the ar
rival of others.
Plans for conveying the marchers
to the Indiana line were made after
West Virginia officials notified Gov
arnor White the group would be de-
!ivered to the border of Ohio Satur-
lay afternoon.
In providing free transportation,
Governor White reiterated that the
state would aid only those of the
narchers who were returning home.
This policy was adopted after Wash
ngton-boun veterans from the Pa
.ific Coast were carried across the
state several months ago. In this
case, the governor said he gave them
transportation only because they had
travelled great distance.

ents of mental telepathy would have

Possibility of Democratic leaders
outside the state coming to hear
Roosevelt lash the G. o. p. leadership
also has been emphasized by political
leaders. -
James A. Farley, who engineered
the Roosevelt forces safely and sue
cessfully toward the road to nomina-
ton prior to the convention, probably
will come to Ohio with his chief, it is
reported.
Other Leaders Coming
The same goes for other Roosevelt
ian leaders, all of whom are said to
be planning to assemble in Columbus
to hear their presidential candidate
lambast the Republicans.
Buckeye leadership in the Democrat
ic ranks is looking forward to the
visit of Roosevelt with considerable
anticipation, reports last week from
all over the state indicated.
: While there was considerable an
tagonism among Ohioans to the can
didacy of the New York governor
prior to the convention at Chicago,
every effort will be made to heal old
wounds, if any still exist, when the
presidential candidate appears here
August 20.
May Aid Campaign
Democratic leaders agree unani-
mously among themselves, after the
announcement that Roosevelt would
address the Democratic convention,
that his appearance will do wonders
toward putting Ohio in the Democrat
ic column in November.
The decision of the Democratic
presidential candidate to include Ohio
on his first campaign trip indicates,
politicians say, that he believes the
Buckeye state will be a first-class
battle-ground from now until Novem-
Der.
