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.
Under the terms Of this law,
Ohio provides nearly S50,000,-
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-
cunulated a deficit in operating
expenses of nearly $6,000,0 100000.
The State revenues were ample
during the balance of 1885 and
all of 1886 and 1887. The bad bus
mess conditions of 1888 caused
serious shrinkage in all State rev.
enues. The result was an addl-
tiona1 deficit of over $5,000,00000,
making total actual deficit or
,000,00000.
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 mill
lion, and put it into his general
revenue fund, thereby boosting
the local school deficit to seven
teen and half million. He did it

His action in robbing the pub
lie school fund of this six and a
half million dollars, which had
been pledged by prior law to the
pa.'ment of outstanding notes,
was one of the most immoral
public acts in the history of this
commonwealth.
Bricker has betrayed the
schools. He robbed the Public
School Fund of six and a half
million dollars. But he claims to
have paid S3,000,000.00 on the

over $2,000,000.00. He has taken

to the local school districts, since
Ohio has been a State, Bricker

State money. He robbed the local
school districts of another $685.
10000 by this illegal procedure.
The Davey Foundation School
Law still stands as a monument
to his administration, but it is
being administered badly by the
present sanctimonious Governor,
who chisels on the schools, just
as he does on relief people, and
old age pensioners, and those
who receive unemployment in
surance, and the poorly paid
Highway laborers, and all others.
Bricker had $30,000,000.00
more State revenues in 1889, than
Davey did in 1888. And yet he
chisels on the poor and helpless
people and institutions.
