Speaking of preparing ourselves to
vote intelligently in the fall election,
Ohio senatorial candidates are to en-
gage in joint debates on current issues.
This is step toward intelligent vot-
ing and step away from campaigns
of recrimination and name-calling, of
which we have had too much in recent
years.

Senator Josiah w. Bailey has fought

that the fight, if it can be dignified
with that name, will get very far,
even in the platform committee, much
less on the floor.
Neither Reynolds nor Hancock par.

anything, they have kept it a deep,

rine of mo diversion" into. every ear.
It's siren song and seems to be gen
orally regarded as sound in princi-
pie; but whether or not the legisla-
tule will submit an anti-diversion con-
stitutional amendment to the voters
remains to be seen. Out loud, at
/ least, there are no defenders of di-
version in theory, even it's strongest
,, advocates present it only as a dis
agreeable necessity
Governor Clyde r. Hoey and Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction
Clyde Erwin are battling hard for a
) twelfth grade in North Cardinals
public schools. There is no organized
opposition and the only thing which
can possibly defeat the project is a
continued business slump which
renders collection of school tax funds
more difficult than at present.
Teachers salaries, like the sales
tax, are always controversial matters
in the legislature. What will be
done about increasing them depends
January than on anything said Or
done now.
/ A committee appointed by Cover

general Assembly has been studying
the matter of establishing a State
Department of Justice, and will re-
port it's finding before the meeting

and about what it's powers shall be,
If it is established.
Failure of the new intangibles tax
policy to yield anything like the ST.
900 600 estimated while the 1887 AS
sembly was in session, has already
brought howl for return of this tax
ing privilege and its resulting reve-
nue. to counties and cities, which this
year got but half the receipts.
The new taxes and the innovation
of giving the State half of their yield
were put over last time only because
it was thought that the local units
would receive as much for their half
as they had previously received from
the whole.
NOW the League of Municipalities

missioners are calling for the return
of these tax revenues.
A complete overhauling of the pre-
sent method of selecting justices of

In the last legislature there was
quite a movement to REGAL present
tax provisions which allow exemption
of revenue-producing property owned
by religious, charitable ana fraternal
organizations, even where the pro-
perty is rented in direct competition
with individuals who have to pay
the taxes. The movement, in the
final showdown, got nowhere at all,

there shall be a statewide referendum
with statewide prohibition as one OF
the alternatives.
The United Dry Forces, generally
by Gale K. Burgess, are waging Wig
orous campaign to elect legislators
pledged to vote forWa referendum.
Most competent observers believe the
cirys viii carry the Rouse, with the
Senate in grave doubt, but with the
vets in the better strategic position.
The sales tax is almost universally
conceded to be losing its power to
whip opponents into a frenzy and
this hardy perennial will have little
to do with most races, though in iso-
lated counties it will undoubtedly be
brought into the campaign. No COM
petent critic sees the vremotest chance
of it's repeal in 1889 onany time soon
thereafter.
The exemption of homes valued at
81 900 and less is certain to be a live
issue in certain quarters, and it is
one of the type of issues which may
flame up high during the legislative
session next year.
Authority for this exemption was
voted by the people in the fall of 1886
and it's advocates are yelling loudly
for the lawmakers to follow the
mandate" of the electorate. County
governing authorities are unanimous
ly and everlastingly opposed to it and
it would take real political miracle
to put it over, yet some are likely to
ride the issue right into the legis-
lature.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-30

The service given Bethlehem Fair by Mrs. Dora Bloss extends farther back than the board of directors of which she is a member, inasmuch as Mrs. Bloss was one of the original workers for the event. Many meet 1ngs of the committee have been held at her home, and she served the fair society as treasurer for several years. It is only to be ex- pected that the continued growth of the event to which she has. contri- buted so many years of effort must be source of much pleasure.

NO CARNIVAL HAS.
 EVER PLAYED TOWN.
Great Interes Being Shown in Three Night
 Attraction

Has Bethlehem ever had car- nival? No, we don't think so, &C., cording to the best recollectionS of some of the towns old timers, and their members extend back ever 3 goodly period of time. At least not a regular carnival such as the fair society will conduct for three nights, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week, with big midway, ferris wheel, music, entertainment and the usual excitement. Several of Litch- field county's fairs have found that providing carnival for the night or nights preceding the fair met with an enthusiastic public response, and the addition of the three nights of carnival fun to the Bethlehem event this year came as a result of much public demand.
 In the arrangement of the car- nival the fair society is deeply grateful to the Woodbury fire de- pertinent, who have contributed much help to the arranging of the event, including the use of consid- erable equipment owned by the 0CASllDOIllS lUe-cdtcTS. The event IS expected to draw heavily from the surrounding towns, with both ad- mission and parking on the grounds gratis.
 A generous supply of entertain ment has been secured for all three nights, and workers and patrons both seem assured plenty of enjoy ment. Practically all of the booths at the event will be operated by Beth lehem people, who are contributing their services to the success of the event, and at the original meet ing held to secure their cooperation more than 60 gathered to offer their assistance. with many more offers of help having been received since that time. The ample ground space avail able for the carnival makes it pos- sible for the committee to plan Q midway which will excel many of the other carnival locations in its size.
