August 10 Date
To File Petition

On August 10, all candidates for
township office and members of a
Board of Education are required to
file nominating petitions for these
offices. All candidates for office in
a village of under 1000 popula-
ton, and all candidates for office
in a village of over 1000 popula-
tion who were not required to file
petitions in February, will also be
required to file their petitions by
August 10, says Ted w. Brown,
Secretary of State of Ohio.
An elector may sign the nomin-
ating petitions of candidates equal
in number to the number of per-
sons TO be elected to any one Of
flee. A part of the nominating pc
tition is the pledge of the signer
to the petition that he will support
and vote for the proposed candida
te at the election, and that he has
not signed the nominating petit
tions Of more candidates for said
office than the number to be elect
ed to said office.
The petition form carries place
for the elector to insert the date
on which he signed the petition.
This date becomes of vital impor-
tance where an elector has signed
more nominating petitions for an
office than the number to be elect
ed to that office. Only the sigma
ture on the first petition that the
elector signed will be considered
valid; the theory being that on the
first petition he did not violate the
pledge that he signed, but on any
subsequent petitions he signed, he
did violate this oath.
Where an elector has signed the
nominating petitions of two candi-
dates for the office of township
clerk, and there is only one town.
ship clerk to be elected, it is in
cumbent upon the Board of Elect
ions to determine which of the two
petitions the elector signed first in
point of time.

Careless Drivinq
Cost Tops Fire
Losses In Ohio

Columbus, Ohio - Despite the
fear of financial loss most people
have concerning fires, a recent
study in Ohio shows that careless
driving annually costs Ohioans
twice as much in dollars and cents.
Figures compiled by the Stats
teal Division of the Ohio Depart
ment of Highway Safety indicate
that the financial loss in property
damage alone from automobile ac-
cidents in 1855 will at least double
the loss from fires in Ohio during
1854, Director u. c. Felty said to-
day.
During the first seven months of
1855 accidents have cost those di-
rectly or indirectly involved total
of S27, 100000, as compared to fire
loss of 26,940,659 during the en-
tire year of 1854.
While there is no way to put
value on the loss of life to low
ed one, just from the standpoint of
dollars and cents traffic safety
should be a must for everyone,
Director Felty said. Each citizen,
whether driver or pedestrian, must
accept his responsibility in the
traffic problem"

Sales Tax Income
Increase Steady

In geometry, curve is defined
as the path of a moving point. Ac-
cording to the sales tax curve of
comparative collections for 1853,
1854 and 1855, as shown in State
Treasurer Roger w. Tracy's 1855
annual report, the upward swing
for the current calendar year gives
promise of going sky high into pos
sible astronomical figures.
Charted from July / at the start
of each fiscal year, and continuing
through the succeeding twelve
months to Jure 80 of the following
year, the total sales tax collections
for 1853, 1854 and 1855 registered
all-time highs of S188, ,741, ,801,
$195, ,006,018 and $207 7,217, ,168, re-
spectively.
During June 1855, the 5000 mil
lion mark in revenues for any one
fiscal year was surpassed for the
first time since the sales tax law
became effective in 1885.
A detailed summary of the rec
ord collections for the year which
ended June 80, 1855 is contained in
the State Treasurer's annual re-
port.
Tracy said today, "Sales tax COL
lections for July and August, 1855,
following Ohios biggest year, have
averaged three million dollars a
month greater than the revenues
for the same two months in 1854"
