Legislature To Consider Important
Legislation
(By Elmer p. Fries J

(by ElUlcT L. L lies
Legislation relating to banks,
taxation and liquor control will be
the principal business before Ohio's
ninetieth general assembly when it
is reconvened for its second winter
session. Governor George White
will have available for the lawmak-
ers' consideration the experience Of
the state banking department grow
ing out of the financial situation
that became acute last March and it
is expected to be the basis of rem
edial measures designed to prevent
occurrences of conditions that
brought distress to many communi-
ties. The chief executive repeatedly
has stressed the need of strengthen
ing the banking system and erect
ing statutory safeguards assuring
the greatest possible degree of pro-
lection to depositors
Confidence already built up by
the state banking departments
handling Of institutions which it
was called upon to rehabilitate is to
be expanded through administration
recommendations The extent to
which public faith has been restored
by sound bank supervision under
the administration of Theodore
TO- tot a mo
tor, who controls the banking de-
rartment and the building and loan
department, was illustrated recently
when building and loan operations
in one large city called for drastic
action.
Taking over several institutions
in difficulty, Director Tangeman
gave official assurance that the ma
jority of the other concerns in the
community were thoroughly de-
pendable. Instantly press and pub
lie accepted his report at full value
and disturbance of the local finan-
cial situation was averted. Similar
ly the departments assurance of
the stability of banks and building
associations over which it maintains
vigilant supervision, has revived
confidence elsewhere in the state.
Taxation legislation to be consid-
cred this winter will be shaped by
the outcome of the popular referen-
dun on the proposed constitutional
amendment to reduce real estate
taxes by some $45,000,0OO through
a decrease in the real estate levy
from Is mills to 10 mills.
Liquor control legislation will
hinge upon the result of the vote
on the proposal to repeal state and
national prohibition. The governor
has taken steps to reconvene the
legislature shortly after the repeal
delegate convention acts on Dec. 5. /
Outlining his own views as to Iegis-
lative action that may be required,
he said: "Our objective should be
to protect the general public from
any possible Objectionable conditions
which might be created by a minor
ity. The great mass of the people |
are temperate and promotion of
temperance must be our primary
consideration. Popular sentiment is
against return of |
anything like the old time saloon

Crop Report, Oct. 1

Growing conditions were quite
favorable to late crops IN Ohio dur
ing September, and the October l
estimates for most crops were
higher than one month earlier,
states Glenn S. Ray, federal agricul-
tural statistician. In comparison
with the forecasts for September 1,
the figures for the present month
show the following increases in pro-
duction: Corn percent; potatoes
percent; buckwheat IL percent;
sugar beets II percent; and hay
percent. Due to rains and mild
weather, pastures in Ohio made
remarkable recovery during Sep
tember, and on October ] averaged
IS percent of normal, compared
with SO percent one month earlier.
The seeding of winter wheat was
DELAYED in some localities by the
heavy rains during late September.
The October / forecast for corn,
would mean a crop about eight per-
cent smaller than last year, but only
five percent below the average pro-
duction, 1926-1930. Rains and mild
weather during September were
very helpful to much of the late
corn, and with killing frosts hold
ing off we'll many of the late crops
should mature in good shape.
Oats, the smallest crop in over
80 years.
Potatoes, early potatoes were
quite poor this year, but favorable
growing conditions during Septem-
ber were especially helpful to many
of the late crops.

First National
 Buys in State Connecticut Benefits By Purchases of Chain
 System

Purchases of Connecticut grown produce by First. National stores Inc, for distribution through It's stores and markets in Connecticut were increased substantially in 1882 over 1881. according to n statement today from the com pany's headquarters. Over 300 per cent more potatoes were bought by First National from Connecticut growers, or total of over five million pounds. It Is stated that these purchases nctted the growers more, because they re- ceived the benft of freight from Maine points, approximately 4l cents on each hundred pounds, and paid no brokerage fees.
 The other Connecticut-raised produce included 225,000 bushels of apples, 47 per cent more than In 1881; 420.000 dozen carrots. or 13 per cent more: 30S,0 dozen beets. n 9 per cent increase; 534. 900 bushels spinach. n 1 per cent in- crease: 470,0O0 bags of cabbage or 15 per cent more; 47.O0O bushels turnips, 40 per cent more. and 10000 bushels onions or Il 10 per cent increase over the pre- vlous year.
 "The local products" states First National. must maintain n stand ard which from the viewpoint of the consumer will equal products from outside and this Is being achieved more and more by Con necticut producers. The economies and savings which result from distribution of home-raised prod ucts at home are proving of real benefit to farmer and consumer"
