The case involves an injunction
granted to RothWell by Judge
James F. Bell here which blocked
the highway department from
making U S Route 40 Limited
access" highway between Lafayette
and the Madison-Clark County
line. The original decision held
that the highway was first design
ed for local as well as through
traffic, and that the limited access
ruling provided for unequal treat
ment under the Constitution for
adjoining property owners.
The state appealed the case,
where the first decision was up
held. Highway Department Off
cials expressed fear at that time
that if the decision should stand,
it would prevent them in the flu
ture from converting any two
lane highway into a modern, div
ided, limited access route. They
took the appellate courts decision
to the Ohio Supreme Court.
Judge Bell. because of his prior
interest i'm the case. did not sit on
the high court during the appeal.

Justice Carl v. Weygandt dissent

the ruling of the lower court, up
holding the right of the state un-
der the power of eminent domain
to declare highways to be of linn
tied access and to extinguish the
right of access by adjoining prop
erty owners.
Chief Justice Weygandt's dissent
has been termed a masterpiece of
craftsmanship and on outstanding
display of legal ability" by one of
the attorneys in the case.
Highway department officials
estimate that the decision will ap-
ply to more than $50 miles of Ohio
roads.
Judge James F. Bell commented
that as the decision now stands,
ten judges have passed on the
question. Five of them on the Su-
preme Court, have decided for the
highway department, and five, the
Chief Justice, the three judges on
the Appellate Court, and himself,
have decided for the property own
ers.
1t is believed that the attorneys
for Mr.. Rothwell will carry the
case to the us. Supreme Court as
the decision involves question of

Yes Or No Asked
On Farm Acreage,
Price Supports

Many questions have been ask
ed by Madison County farmers
concerning the Wheat Marketing
Quota Referendum" to be voted
on June 25. 1855 according to a
report from the local AS.C office.
Following are answers to these
questions given by Riley S. Dou-
gan, Extension Economist.
/. VIII there be acreage ai.ot-
ments regardless of outcome OF
vote?
Yes: However if vote is defeat
ed the only major incentive for
staying within allotments would be
to become eligible for price sup
ports at SOC parity.
e. Is there any difference be-
tween acreage allotments and mar
keting quotas?
Yes: Acreage alIotments can be
proclaimed on basic crops without
vote by producers. The penalty for
not complying is that producers
who do not comply will not be
able to receive price supports.
Marketing Quotas can also be
proclaimed bur in order for them
to become effective they must be
voted upon by producers. If they
are voted in, the penalty for not
complying is two-fold; lie. not only
will no price supports be available
to those who do not comply but
there will be an added penalty on
excess production. In case of
wheat. this penalty amounts to
459e of parity.
3. In general what does a No
vote mean?
(a) Price supports will be avail
able at 509s of p1rity for the 1856
crop. This will amount to about
S1.19 per bu Supports will be
available. only to those who COM
ply with allotments.
(b) Farmers could grow as much
wheat as desired in 1856 with
neither penalties nor supports for
those who grow over their allot-
ment.
(c) There viii be no marketing
penalties for excess marketings"
but farmers would assume own
risks of market price decreases.
4. In general what does a yes"
vote mean?
(a) Price supports available at
76ac parity for 1856 crop. This
would be in neighborhood of 81
per bu. for those who stay within
acreage allotments.
(b) We would have about the
same wheat acreage allotment as
in 1855.
(c) Farmers would subject
d themselves to a penalty of around
S1.10 per bu. for each bushel
grown on excess acreage acreage
that is above allotnent).
5. How much wheat is on stor-
age at the present time?
There is two year supply of
wheat on storage.

"a TOWN
JOKE
Friend of ours, name of Mil
zie Baby, brought this one
back from the hospital of all
places. Seems three little girls
were talking about marriage
and such and one spoke up and
said, When / get big. I'm
going to marry a doctor and
then I'll get all my medicine
for nothing!"
Second one said, We'll, I'm
going to marry a dentist and
get all my dental work free"
Third little so-and-so said,
Huh! I'm going to marry a
preacher and be good for moth
ing!"
SURPLUS
In the more-or-less good old
days, farm surpluses were usu-
ally eaten up by the farmers
city relatives.
REAL ESTATE
What do you think of this
house as a whole 2" asked the
agent. To which question the
prospect replied, "As a hole it
is fine. AS a house it Is awful"
RACING
Fellow told us that he went
to the races on the seventh
of the month and that it was
the same day that his son had
his seventh birthday. On top
of that, the fellow lived in a
house with the number seven
ty-seven and there were seven
horses in the seventh race. OF
course, our friend put his mon
ey on number seven and, you
guessed it, the horse came IN
seventh!
STRIKE
This is really the age OF
prosperity. We know a yourg
housewife who went to work
a few months ago and now
earns more than a hundred
bucks a week. She has new
clothes, new jewelry and a
new car. She voted to go on
strike recently and we asked
her why. She said, I'm ex-
hausted. We have been having
so much overtime these past
few months that I'm striking
so that I can get rested up"
ELMO
Elmo the Great sent the
following in to US.
Melancholy days have come,
Saddest in our annals,
It's far too cold for B.VD.'s,
Far too hot for flannels.
FISHING
Best advice we can offer
for a successful fishing trip is
that you start fishing before
you get there and keep on
fishing after you leave.
TRAVEL
It is perhaps gratifying that
the expression, you can't
take it with YOU, means that
for once we can take q trip
without having to pack.
TOMBSTONE
Little old lady dropped into
the stone cutters one day and
ordered a marker for her late
ly deceased. Asked what she
wanted inscribed thereon, she
said, ito my dear husband in
suitable place"
Sure enough, that's the way
il came out ITO My Dear
Husband In A Suitable Place"
OUCH!
And we suppose that you've
heard the one about the cat
that jumped through a fish
market window just for the
halibut!
LIVING
Just think: There are thous-
ands of children who have
never seen a horse but with
all these ranch type houses,
there will be other untold
thousands who will have never
seen stairs!
GRASS ROOTS
II used to be that a sue
cessful man was one who nev-
er let the grass grow under his
feet. now it's a guy with a
new power-mower.
WEE WISDOM
And as a little boy explains
it Ignorance is when you
don't know something ana
somebody finds it out"
SUMMERTIME
It will soon be summer ana
the kids will start slamming
all the doors that they left
open all winter.
