Appearing before the Budget Com

Japanese Empire supreme in the
Western Pacific, but admitted that
British and American naval plans

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Jan. 15.-Japan's new
moderate Premier. Admiral Mitsu-
masa Yonai, completed a cabinet
today, which, it was said, would con-
tinue Japan's present diplomatic
policy toward the United States.
Admiral Yonai, former Jap
anese fleet commander and former
naval minister, chose as his foreign
minister the veteran diplomat Ma
chiro Arita, who will succeed Ad-
miral Kichisaburo Nomura.
Gen. Shunroku Hata and Vice Ad-
miral Zengo Yoshida, who were war
and navy ministers, respectively, in
the outgoing cabinet of Gen. Nobu-
yuki Abe, were retained in their old
posts by the new Premier.
War, Navy Chiefs Remain.
Gen. Abe resigned yesterday with
his cabinet amid repercussions over
Japanese-Amer relations. Ad-
miral Lonai late last night accepted
the task of forming a new govern
ment. In forming new cabinet
he replaced all but the ministers
OF the navy and war.

WATCH OUT FOR PETITIONS TO BE
CIRCULATED

1t is very likely that petitions will be circulated
soon calling for proposed constitutional amend
ment for the redistribution of representation IN
the general assembly. A summary of proposed
constitutional amendment has been submitted to
the attorney general of the state for his approval
and he has approved it. Before petition for a
proposed amendment can be circulated the sum-
mary must be submitted to the attorney general
for his verifcation that it is correct statement
OF the amendments purpose.
The proposed amendment would establish 80
senatorial districts of approximately 100000 pop
uaton each; allot four representatives to each
senatorial district making house of 40 mem
bers; establish representative districts within the
several senatorial districts within large counties
The amendment would also redistrict the state
for congressional purposes to provide more
equitable representation. One of the smaller con-
gressional districts now has 10000 residents
while three larger districts have 425 900 residents
each 1t would abolish election of congressman
at large.
We believe that the people of Morgan county
fully realize what it would mean to the small 10
calities of the state to have such constitutional
amendment. This was clearly brought out in the
recent countrywide grange meeting held here in
the M. & M high school gymnasium 1t will be
recalled that Harry Cation, secretary of the Ma
tional grange who the principal speaker, cau-
toned against such movement and urged that
grangers ever be on the alert to see that we have
our rural representation in our law making bod
ies and to let the control get in the big cities,
in which event the rural voice in matters of egis
lation would be lost.
Watch out for these petitions, and don't sign
them They will likely be circulated later on, 50
they can be voted on at the election this fall.

PASS THE GRASS

Maybe Nebuchadnezzar wasn't so nutty after
all. They laughed when he sat down to his meal
of Babylonian grass, but now the news from the
American Chemical Societys meeting in Cincin-
matt indicates that the old king may only have
been born $500 years too soon.
Three ST. Louis researchers have discovered
that grass is incredibly rich in Vitamins A, B..
B-1, and and also contains some substance
which tends to prevent hair from turning gray
Since the stuff that flies from the lawnmower is
not exactly palatable, they have developed a
method of making grass powder, IL pounds of
which contain more vitanins than $40 pounds of
fruit and vegetables. 1t is said to be just dandy
in pancakes, breakfast foods, bread candy.
Science as we think we have observed before,
is wonderful Hereafter the soundest medical ad-
vice may be, Go to grass!' And perhaps, before
long presidential candidates will be campaigning
with promises to provide free vitamns for all by
making grass grow in the streets.-Coumbus

LATE OPINIONS BY THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL

township trustees may CONTRACT
with q municipality to furnish fire
protection to the entire township
but they may not enter into con
tract for fire protection to only a
portion or portions of the township
Attorney General Thomas j. Her
bert held this week in ruling TO
Paul A. Baden, Butler county prose
cutor.
The trustees of Fairfield township
asked the legality of contracts Tor
protection in that area OF the town
shin served with water mains ana
hydrants from the city of Hamilton.
Trustees must levy taxes on the
entire township to pay for the hre
protection and benefits must extend
to all taxpayers alike, Mr.. Herbert
said. The city may not enter into
contract with an association OF cit
izens living in a certain portion OF
the township to furnish them fire
protection because municipalities
are not given power by law to make
such contracts, Mr. Herbert said.
In drawing specifications for self
powered road graders, township
trustees may specify what general
type of controls the machine shall
have. it's horsepower, tire sizes,
weight, and similar details so long
as the specifications are not drawn
so finely as to prevent competitive
bidding.
The words '1owest and best bid
der" gives the purchasing authority
the right to consider the quality of
the thing and it's efficiency, Attor
ney General Thomas ]. Herbert has
ruled.
Trustees may not combine adver-
tisements for the sale of old ma
chinery with those for the purchase
of new machinery, Mr. Herbert said.
The statutes require different
lengths of time for advertising sales
and purchases, he pointed out. The
questions arose, Mr.. Jackman said,
in several Madison county town
ships.

| regardless of whether it is the COM
mon pleas. or a mayors or municipal
! court, Attorney General Thomas j.
! Herbert ruled recently in an opIn-
ion to Ellis w. Kerr, Miami county
prosecutor.
The association is entitled to all
traffic fines levied in common pleas
court, except where the arrest was
made by a highway patrolman, in
which case the association receives
only half the fine. Fines for violat-
ing state traffic laws assessed by a
mayor or municipal court where the
arrest was made by highway pa
trolman are payable to the state
and village, but if the arrest is made
bv anyone other than a state high
! way patrolman the entire fine goes
to the library association.
If prosecution is under a village
ordinance for a liquor or traffic Of
fense and there is a state law cover
ing the same facts the library as
sociation is entitled to the same
share of the fine that it would have
been if the warrant were drawn un-
der the state law, Mr.. Herbert said.
The law permitting redemption of
used sales tax stamps at SO per

organizations is constitutional,
Franklin County Common Pleas
Judge Edward c. Turner has ruled
in dismissing the suit of a Cleveland
Heights taxpayer to enjoin further
payments. Suit was filed against
the tax commission challenging the
law on the ground that it permitted
expenditure of public money for
purposes other than that for which
it was levied. Approximately $780,
600 has been paid religious and
similar organizations for used tax
stamps. The practice has, however,
resulted in a huge increase in sales
tax collections because customers
demand the tax receipt, Attorney
General Herbert told Judge Turner.
