the legalization of 80 per cent beer
and the appointment of a commission
to control its sale and distribution; the
change in the motor vehicle depart
ment from the office of the secretary
of state to the department of highways
and the companion bill providing for
a highway patrol to check the use of
highways by motor trucks.
One governing motive in all Of these
pieces of legislation was the additional
revenue which would result. 1t is es-
timated that several hundred thousand
dollars will come to the state from the
highway patrol bill, and also from the
racing commission bill. Estimates OF
receipts from the beer legislation run
from two million to four million dol
lars
There still remain grave problems
for solution, and the purpose of the re-
cess is to permit an uninterrupted con-
sideration of these problems by joint
committees of the two houses; one tc
consider the problems Of education anc
the other the problems of taxation.
These two joint committees consis
of fourteen members each, an equa

Maple Syrup Is In Style

"Ohio is proud of its maple syrup.
No state in the Union produces bet
ter quality. From coast to coast this
Buckeye product is in big demand"
says Earl H. Hanefield, state director
of agriculture.
Reports have reached Director
Hanefeld, indicating that a few dis
honest dealers have sold adulterated
syrups and substitute products for the
real article. This counterfeit product
was sold largely by out Of state ped
dlers. Low prices was the bait offered
to the unsuspecting housewife.
Upon receipt of these reports, they
were turned over to w. d. Leech,
chief of the Food and Dairy Division
of the State Department. Chief Leech
is trained man in this work. He has
had experience. Agreeable to the di-
rector, Mr. Leech gave orders to his
inspectors to rid Ohio of these un-
scrupulous dealers. Public officials
throughout the state are cooperating
in this "clean up"
Ohio laws have placed the weight of
one gallon of maple syrup at eleven
gallons. Other laws require that the
syrup be properly labeled as to purity
The wise housewife will not only ex-
anime the label but will buy only from
reliable established dealers.

By Charles Sawyer
Lieutenant Governor of Ohio


Columbus.-In view of the fact that
the legislature is now recessed until
May Is, shall hereafter discontinue
these articles until that date.
On last Tuesday the Senate and the
House met for very brief session for
the purpose of obtaining the sigma
lures of the presiding officers of the
respective houses to certain bills which
had been passed in the closing hours
of the session of the preceding week.
Among the bills were number of
local interest only such as those with
reference to the municipal court of
Niles, the court clerk Of Piqua, the
lending of money to the Cuyahoga
Falls school board and others of that
nature. There were, in addition, bill
with reference to the examination of
building and loan associations; Senator
Whitemore's bill to permit the pay
ment of delinquent taxes in INSTALL
ments "a bill to exempt news reel films
from the official censorship of the
state; bills with reference to the pre-
servation of certain historic canal
lands; bill authorizing school boards
/ to borrow money in anticipation of
taxes; and the resolution creating spe-
cial joint committees on education and
/ taxation.
1t may not be amiss at this time to
survey briefly the result of the legis-
lative session so far. The number OF
bills enacted into law bears very
small ratio to the large number intro
duced and it can safely be said that
the product has not been either vicious
or silly.
At least half of the bills now enacted
into law were passed by the legisla-
lature as emergency measures: bills
for appropriations, for Strengthening
or liquidating building and loan asso
Citations, to create emergency funds
to provide for the opening Of CLOSED
banks, to provide for agricultural
loans, to provide for the issuance o.
scrip, for the diversion of gas money
to provide for the borrowing of none.
by school boards, and to give the in
surance commissioner certain nev
powers.
All of these bills were made neces
sary by the extraordinary condition
which broke upon this country on,
month ago. While no one can CLAIM
perfection, | think it can be said tha
Governor White and the Legislature

! Ohio and made as few mistakes as hu

question the high motives of the publ
officials Of the state who were endeav
oring as best they could to solve tn
difficult problems presented by tn
emergency.
Aside from the emergency measure
the outstanding pieces of Legislation
were those which marked departure

KING IS SLAIN
53-Year-Old Ruler Who
Took Throne in 1929
Murdered in Palace

KABUL, Afghanistan, Nov. 10.
(UP).-King Mohammed Nadir
Khan was assassinated here at 8
p. m. Thursday. He was So years
old, and was proclaimed ruler of
the mountainous oriental king
dom in 1929.
The Nadir Shah was assassinat-
ed at the royal palace cat the
hands of a traitor" a communique
said.
The country was reported gen.
orally quiet.
One report said the assassin was
trusted friend and courtier in
Nadir Shah's court.
1t was recalled that an Afghan
student in Berlin last June MUIR
dered the elder brother of the
king, Sirdar Muhammad Ariz
Khan, the Afghanistan minister to
Germany.
The murder eliminated a series
of rumors that the life of the
king was in danger. In Septem-
Der, five prominent former Afghan
officials were executed in Kabul
on charges of plotting against the
kings life.

in height would cover about 4O,-
900 acres, that the 12S-foot dam
was to develop $4,000 horsepow-
er, and raise the river level at
BOSNIAN 30 feet.
He explained in his talk that
such a dam would of course bring
water over Hendersonville, but
that a dixie could be built at Bal
four to protect Hendersonvllle,
and the water from Mud Creek
pumped into the reservoir.
A number of speakers were
then heard, some in opposition to
the project, and others urging
that it be further considered with
an open mind.
Mr.. Tovmer, who recently re-
tired from the Florida bar, and
came here to make his home, OPP
posed the project, declaring that
the wealth of this country was in
the valleys, that the government
would pay no great prices for the
land, and that the thousands of
people living in the area affected
would be forced out of employ
ment.
