Roland Ewing, butler, responded
to the maid S screams and was
forced to lead the bandits to the

I'VE want your jewels and we

Pollock, Mt. Sterling guard, regis
tered IA points and Holloway, London
guard, led his team with ten counters.
In the boys contest, London trailed
throughout, coming within two points
of tying the score in the last go sec
onds.
Mt. Sterling scored points before
London was able to register a tally,
Herriott getting two baskets and a
free throw in quick succession and
Holloway following with basket, the
score at the end of the first quarter
being lit in favor OF Mt. Sterling
Holloway, Campbell and Lohr reg
istered five points in the second quar-
ter to four for Mt. Sterling, the Lon
don boys playing better floor game
in this period. The score was 15-12
in Mt. Sterling's favor as the half
ended.
| Pollock, at guard for Mt. Sterling,
was playing an exceedingly fast and
rough game and scoring most of the
points for his team. He was fouled
several times by London players but
only called once for fouling a London
player.
4 In the third quarter, Mt. Sterling
pulled ahead with 10 points to six for
London, the score being 25-1S at the
end of the period.
The London boys finally stopped
Pollock and held Mt. Sterling to one
point in the final quarter with Lohr,
Sherman and Holloway each tallying
a basket to come within two points of
knotting the score.
Mt. Sterling committed many more
fouls than London, but they were not
called. The final three minutes of
play was as rough an exhibition of
basketball as the writer has witnessed
in years.
In the girls contest, London failed
to play the usual steady game dis
played so many times this year and
lost by four points.
London was in the lead 5 to at the
end of the first quarter, but was trail
ing, 12-7 at the half. The local girls

First step in redemption of one of
the planks in the Democratic state
platform was taken when the Ohio
house Of representatives passed the
Addison bill providing for complete es-
tablishment Of jury trial rights in this
state. 1t was made Democratic pol
icy because Of the injustices resulting
from Imprisonment in cases in which
offenders were unable to pay fines and
We're denied by law the right of trial
by juries of their fellow citizens.
Valiant crusader for the reform for
years has been Col. Herbert Mengert,
Columbus correspondent of tine Gin
cinnati Enquirer, whose newspaper
points out editorially, "The right of
trial by jury, even for minor offenses,
is inherent in our system Of philosophy
of government. /. ttshas been abrogated

LEGISLATURE
Continued From Page One)


senators, while voicing opposition to
the theory Of the bill, voted for it A
bill to transfer three and one-half mil
'1ion dollars from the state highway
fund to the payment of teachers sal
aries was killed in the committee on
Finance and substitute is to be evol-
we'd. 4
The proposal to divert money from
either local or state funds derived
from the gasoline tax has arousedsvig-
orous opposition. The claim Isl made
that all relief should not be had at the
expense of the automobile owner. 1t
is obvious, however, that the situation
must be met, and those honestly OPP
posing particular forms of taxation
should bear in mind that money must
be provided. There is no magic by
which we can bring it into existence.
Only some form of taxation will do it.
The proposal to pay teachers sal
aries aroused extended arguments.
Proponents claimed the state has both
a moral and legal obligation to pay
these salaries, and that the necessities
of the teachers require that they be
paid. Those who obtained reference
of the bill to the Finance committee
conceded the need and the obligation
They questioned the amount necessary
as claims had been made that other
items than teachers salaries We're in
cluded. They also stated that unless
funds were available to meet the pro-
visions of the bill the teachers We're
being deluded and the legislature in
appropriating money for this purpose
must have the courage to adopt neces-
sary measures to raise It. There is
no doubt that this matter will be dealt
with in some manner.
Conditions of the times are reflect
ed in almost every bill. Many with
reference to taxes, relief from taxes
collection of taxes, and restriction OF
taxes are before the assembly. Tax
alton is the major problem of the leg
islature. Taxes are never popular. AL
most everyone takes fair and liberal
attitude about taxes if they are paio
by the other fellow. The other fellow
however. is non-existent. He never
pays.
Of 968 bills introduced, 317 in the
Senate and 651 in the house, hundreds
will doubtless fall by the wayside. 9th
ers probably viii pass ard be vetoed
by the Governor and the whole effor
will boil down to residuum of legisla-
ton which will be concerned chiefly
with problems of the depression.
Here in the Legislature, of course,
we see the focal point of the theory
that our troubles can be cured by law.
Wise legislation can help and is nec-
essary, but there are limits to what
LEGISLATION ran accomplish and the dan
ger Of q situation ike the present is
that temporary needs will cause lis To
shut cur eyes 10 the longer view
