many gigantic, new problems that
faced Governor Davey, but he
did not finch. He led the fight
for the great Public School Foun-
dation Law, under which the
school children in all parts of the
State are guaranteed equal edu-
cation. y
Under the terms of this law,
Ohio provides nearly $50,0W,-
100000 a year, so that the schools
may stay open. This never had
been an obligation of the State
government, but it was made so
under the Davey administration.
When this Foundation School
Law was passed, early in 1885,
the local school boards had ac-
cumulated- a deficit in operating
expenses of nearly $6,000,0 900. 90.
The State revenues were ample
during the balance of 1885 and
all of 1886 and 1887. The bad bus
iness conditions of 1888 caused a
serious shrinkage in all State rev.
enues. The result was an addi-
tional deficit of over $4,000, 100000,
making a total actual deficit of
$11, 11,000,000.00.
Governor Davey left balance
of six and half million dollars
in the public school fund. Cover
nor Bricker robbed the school
fund of this six and a half mil
lion, and put it into his general
revenue fund, thereby boosting
the local school deficit to seven
teen and half million. He did it

Green Urges
Labor to Aid
Draft Act

President William Green has
urged all members of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor to help
the government carry out the
provisions of the Compulsory
Military Service Act in the in
terests of national defense. In
a statement issued this week,
Green said:
"The bill is not as we would
liked to have seen it, but Con-
gress has decided that it is to
be the law of the land and the
American Federation of Labor
will, of course, cooperate in
carrying out that decision.
These are times that call for
giving, and we will give"
The new draft act became law
when the President signed it on
Sept. 16. At the same time he
issued a proclamation setting
Oct. 16 as the late on which all
men from 81 to 35 must regis
ter.
The law also empowers the
Federal Government to take

His action in robbing the pub

been pledged by prior law to the
payment of outstanding notes,
was one of the most immoral
public acts in the history of this

The Davey Foundation School
Law still stands as a monument

old age pensioners, and those
who receive unemployment in

Highway laborers, and all others.
Bricker had $30,000,000.00
more State revenues in 1889, than
Davey did in 1888. And yet he
