the trucking industry. The Re.
publlcans feel that the trucker.
ought to pay more, but they have
not yet determined how to de.
rive the additional money. They
do not want to enact the weight
distance tax, although this was
recommended by their own study
group.
More School Money
Schools have always proved q
problem for the Ohio Legislature
and during these times, the pro-
blem has increased more than
that OF any other function of gov
ernment. Since the war, more
and more children have flocked
to the schools of Ohio and
the birth rate has not yet crested
( So legislators have to find
some means of getting additional
money for the increased needs
of the schools and teachers. This
IS no little problem. More than
two-thirds of Ohio school dis
tricts are considered poor
school districts. This means that
they cannot operate their schools
with the money obtained from
the state flat distribution of dol
lars added to the funds they are
able to obtain from local tax
sources.
Coupled with this, some legis-
lators will tell you, is the pro-
blem of redistricting of schoo1
areas. There are some Legislators
who believe that the main reason
school financing plaques the leg
iSlature each session is because
so many of Ohio's smaller school
districts are set up in an unecono.
mlcal manner SO that they car
never be in position to finance
themselves
In fact, some legislators from
the city areas are very distressed
at the fact that their school dis
tricts tax the people to the limit
and still find themselves payins
through state taxes for the sup
port of rural school district:
where the people are unwilling
or unable to support their owl
schools.
Home Rule Issue
Around the legislature, ther'
has always been a great deal o
discussion about home rule fol
cities, townships and villages
Everybody seems to be for it, bu
the more it is discussed, the more
tax fields are taken away from
these local governments anc
grabbed by the state.
AS a result, local governments
have always been subsidized tC
certain extent by state tax
money. Originally, the money
was granted to them on a per
centage basis from the sales tax
but lately it has been doled out
to local government in terms oi
dollars per year, rather than or
percentage basis.
This means that each session
the local governments have to
come to the legislature and plead
for sufficient funds to supple.
ment their local tax sources in
order to run their governments
And as state costs have been ris-
ing, so have local costs.

waii. And the reason it may cause
battle is practical politics. Ha-
waii is normally Republican in
national elections. This in itself
would not cause the fight if
Alaska, considered Democratic,
were not also seeking statehood.
The result is, then, two terri
tories seeking statehood, one vot-
ing Republican and one Demo
cratic, with the President giving
his approval to the Republican
voting territory-in this case Ha-
waii. Too much hasn't been said
about the problem as yet, but
there is a feeling that Democrats
in congress will make the issue
one on which they will make
their strength.

DISTRICT COMMANDER

With very little pomp and ceremony Robert Ralston
installed Sunday morning district commander of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars impressive ceremony at
Columbus.
past commander of Noble Post No 4721, Caldwell,
Bud Raston is the first veteran of World War II to hold
this job for the district and the first local member to be
elevated to such high position by the veterans organza
ton.
this capacity Ralston will have counties under
his jurisdiction the following year and he will be busy
man from this standpoint
Since it is in rural section and the membership is
small the fifth district has had much say in the state
organization But will venture predict that in the next
year. this will be changed considerably with Raon the
commander.
Columbus will probably know in ways than one
that the fifth district very much important part of the
organization for quite that Rason will be
breathing down their necks at every opportunity.
Ralston has every qualification needed for district
commander and during the ensuing year of his term they
will all probably be brought into play.
We predict bright future during tie coming year for
the district of the VFW with Commander Ralston in
charge.
Form the ladies angle Mrs Ethel Moore is the district
first vice president and she will step into the number
role next year.

Dear Sir:
The National convention of

Constitution Hall, Washington,
D. c., to hear and see evidence
of the oneness" of the Red
Cross.
This years convention was
unique in that it was the first
year the Junior Red Cross par
ticipated in the different ses-
sions of the convention.
| can truthfully say, that l
learned a great deal about the
service being rendered by the
National and International Red
Cross.
AS We listened to reports of
aid to fighting men in Korea,
of service being rendered to
those areas that were recently
demolished by tornadoes, and of
the help being offered to veter-
ans and their families here at
home, we were more convinced
than ever, that here is an or
ganization worthy of your sup
port.
The highlight of the conven-
ton was the address by Presi-
dent Eisenhower the last night
He conveyed MS personal thanks
to the Red Cross for the SER
vice they had rendered to him
and his men in the European
theatre during World War IL
He also read letters of thanks
from the Governor of Massachu-
setts, and the Mayor of Worces-
ter, for the relief they had re-
ceived during their recent toro-
nado disaster.
All in all, it was profitable
experience, and | trust that the
things learned there shall bet.
