the stipulation, Jones advertised that
Hundreds of love-hungry men and
women lonesome like yourself, have
enrolled with us and found friendship,
love and happiness. They are no

Tdxing Units Outnumber
Ohio's Libraries. Hospitals

Ohio has nearly 10 times as many
different taxing units within its bor-
ders as it has public libraries and hos
pitals, the National Consumers Tax
Commission reported today.
The Commissions analysis, made at
it's headquarters in Chicago, was an
nounced by Mrs. c. w. Walters, of
Cleveland, the Ohio national commit
teewoman who is one of the leaders
in the Commissions campaign against
taxes which penalize the consumer.
"A Public administration Service
study showed a grand total of 4,4S1
governmental agencies in Ohio with
the power to raise revenue from the
public the analysis stated
"This total includes counties, incor,
porated places, townships, urban i'm.
iprovement districts, water control dis,
tricts, and others-a taxing unit fol
every nine square miles. With Sc
many agencies looking for revenue, il
addition to federal and state govern
ments, there is bound to be overlapping
and pyramding of taxes.
at is small wonder, therefore, tha
taxes of all types-63 percent o,
which are hidden to the consumer:
who ultimately pay them in the form
of higher prices-are now equal tt
23.6 percent of the national income
"The tremendous extent to whicl
our taxation system has grown il

Donald w. Smith Opposed as Board
Member
Realizing that the maladministra-
tion Of the Act is the responsibility of
the present personnel of the Board,
the Executive Council made known to
the President of the United States it's
opposition to the reappointment of
Donald Wakefield Smith. The Presi-
dent has reappointed him. However,
such reappointment does not lessen the
justification for opposition by the
American Federation of Labor and it
will continue to oppose those members
of the Board who fail to act impartial
ly and without prejudice.
"The Executive Council has given
much attention to the subject of the
revision Of the Wagner Act. The basic
rights guaranteed by the Act, such as
self Reorganization, collective bargaining
and bona-fde restraints upon employ
ers against interfering with these
rights, are sound and ought to be pre-
served.
Amendments to Labor Act
Recommended
However, proper amendments are
necessary to curtail the unlawful as
sumption of broad powers by the
Board, also to curtail unlimited dis
cretion in constituting and administer
ing the Act, and to make specific the
jurisdictional limits of the Board.
"The manner and method of holding
elections should be specifically provided
for as we'll as the time in which such
elections shall be held. Amendments
will be necessary in respect to rights
Of review and appeal of decisions of
the Board and that such right of re-
view shall be accorded unions aggrieved
of decisions in representation cases
which is now provided for in the Act
"More specifically, amendments will
be required to limit the Boards pow
er to invalidate union and employer
contracts and to limit the power of the
Board in determining the proper unit
for the purpose of collective bargain.

"In connection with amendments il
must be remembered that the Act does
not accomplish to the degree intended
the outlawing of company unions
There must be included in the revis'
ions and amendments of the Act def
mite and more specific provisions in re-
spect to the abolition of company
unions"

three most valuable for school use are
the Encyclopedias Britannica" the
Encyclopaedia Americana" and the

cause an encyclopedia has to give in

include detailed discussions Of inn
portant subjects. It Is 4 good plan
to consult an encyclopedia article first
to give . background for further study
Of the subject. In using an encyclo-
pedia 1t is well to know whether 1t
Is one that includes minor topics under
larger subjects. Such an encyclopedia
has to have an index, usually in .
separate volume, and in order to be
sure Of getting al the desired irforma-
ton the index should be consulted.
An example Of this type is the we'll
known Encyclopedia Britannica"
while that Of the other type, in which
minor topics are treated Is separate
subjects and appear in their proper
places in the alphabet, Is the Amer
icana" or the New international"
OF these two 1t should be kept in mind
that the latter has not been COM
pletely revised since 1922, but there
Is published each year an annual vol

also issues an annual volume. The
Encyclopedia Britannica" has Just

for younger boys and girls one OF the
best Is the World Book, which has

Another invaluable type of ref
