Governor Herbert
Sidesteps Tax Cut

Columbus, Jan. 22-Gov. Thomas
]. Herbert temporarily sidesteppec
the issue of a reduction in three pei
cent sales tax last night.
Herbert told the 9th General
Assembly that he would withhold
specific tax recommendations un-
til after Tax Commissioner c. En-
ory Glander reports on revenues
within two weeks.
The Republican governor last
August proposed a one-third reduc-
ton in the sales tax barring new
needs" He told the solons last night
that increased aid was needed for
schools, welfare, aid for aged and
local governments.
Herbert said the state could re-
adjust presently shared revenues
and assume some local obligations
to aid local governments. He asked
that local government finance be
put on a more permanent basis.
Herbert recommended that the
question of soldiers bonus be sub
mitted to the people of Ohio as a
constitutional amendment. The
problem of financing such bonus
should be given calm and careful
study he said.

Over 500 Attend
Show In Caldwell

Over 500 farmers and others in
terested attended the labor saving
device show at the c. E. Kirchner
building, Caldwell, last Wednesday,
according to county agent Floyd
Henderson.
Sponsored by the extension serv-
ice, Ohio State University, the dis
play is being shown in every county
of the state. The attendance here
compared favorably with neighbor-
ing counties, in spite of the fact that
many had to detour for many miles,
due to the high waters.
Due to the conditions, it was inn
possible to demonstrate the complete
water system, which was one of the
outstanding exhibits of the show.
Professor Durhal, University of
New Hampshire, attended the ex-
hibit in Caldwell, checking on the
interest shown, etc., in order that a
similar project might be carried out
in his state.

matically killed by the present ex-
isting state laws. But it is believed
that the three months period will
be sufficient to check any further
epidemic of gray foxes and that
many of them will be killed off.
Twelve foxes have been killed To
date In this county, according to
check at auditor McVay's office,
Tuesday afternoon. Checks have
been written to Wiley Stringer, of
Sharon township; Edwin Glidden,
Olive; B. G. Schoeppner, Brookfield;

Olive, a newcomer to the Caldwell
route six community; Carl Marquis,

ID will thus be seen that the gray
fox abounds in practically every
township in the county.
