Lighthouses are usually asso-
ciated with the "rock bound
coast of Maine" and elsewhere on
the seven seas. But Ohio, too, has
its lighthouses, for the most part
on the shore of Lake Erie and on
Che Ohio River.
This lighthouse, however, is
midway betwee Ohio's two
water boundaries, not far from
the Indiana line. 1t is minia-

stone lighthouse at Cornwall,
England.

County Gets Over
$1,000 From Fund
For First Round

State Auditor James A. Rhodes
announced this week that Madison
county's share of the first distri-
button of money from the supple
mental local government fund
created by the June special sess-
ion of the legislature is $3,669.73.
Checks totaling S1,800,000 have
been mailed by Rhodes to county
treasurers to reimburse local gov
ernments for the loss in revenue
which resulted when the tax on
shares and active capital financial
institutions was knocked out by the
courts. It is part of the $12 million
of sales tax money provided by
the legislature TO help many cities
and villages meet a financial em-
ergency.
The remaining S10.2 million of
the supplemental local government
fund will be used to reimburse To-
cal governments for the amount of
abatement certificates" which
their financial institutions will
submit to pay future taxes. For
example, if a banks tax is $1,000
and it uses a $4,000 abatement
certificate toward payment of the
tax, the state auditor will pay to
the county's undivided local gov
ernment fund $4,000 from the sup
Elemental fund provided by the
legislature.
The amount which each county
receives in the initial $1.8 million
distribution is based on the ratio
that tie value OF the shares in and
capital employed by its financial
institutions bears to the total val
lie of shares in and capital en-
ployed by all financial institutions
in Ohio.
Almost half of the first SIS mil
lion distributed goes to the largest
three counties with Cuyahoga get
ting $453,039.15; Hamilton, $685.
37742, and Franklin, $116,628.13.

lief along that line without
necessarily disturbing the $9.S
billion total of receipts expected
from that source during the cur
rent fiscal year.
The prime problem Of tax
revenue was impressed on the
subcommittee on the first day of
the hearings when Treasury
officials said Congress will be
asked to continue for still an
other year the excise tax rates
which otherwise would drop to
lower levels April /. A third an
|nual continuance will save more
than $3.50 million a year for the
Treasury. Those rates apply to
cigarettes, bear, wine and liquor,
automobiles and automotive
parts and accessories.
Before the week ended, how
ever, the subcommittee was
asked by individual witnesses to
ease or eliminate the excuses on
practically everything from cos
metics to community TV anten-
nae systems. The list included
such varied products as kitchen
ranges, water heaters, liquified
petroleum. gasoline lost in natu-
raj disasters or accidents,
leather goods, jewelry and re-
built automotive parts.

munications systems.
Further pitches are to be made
by other witnesses in favor Of

sions, cabarets, alcoholic bev-
erages and tobacco.

quently heard at the hearings.
Excise taxes were lowered or re-
vised to some extent by Congress
two years ago. In general the
then 20 per cent rates were re-
duced to 10 per cent on such
items as jewelry, furs, luggage,
toilet preparations. admissions to
theaterS and sports events. on
club dues and cabarets, and in
some communications and trans
portation items.
Fairer Method Cought
The search this time is not
so much to determine whether
there should be bigger cuts but
whether fairer and more effici-
ent method can be found in dis
tributing and applying excise
taxes at the manufacturer or
retailer level.
AS for the overall picture, the
National Association of Manu-
facturers renewed its recommen-
dation for a uniform across-the-
board excise tax, at the manu-
facturer's level, on most products
except food and drugs. Liquor
and tobacco excuses would remain
substantially at present levels.
This proposal drew praise from
Representative Mason, Republic
can of Illinois. It was challenged
by some other members as being
essentially a manufacturers sales
tax that could easily be pyra-
mided at the expense of the ulti-
mate consumer.

than so urged last week that ex-
cises on their particular goods or
services be substantially de-
creased or completely cut out,
preferably the latter.
The subcommittee is yet to
disclose what further changes
it will ask the incoming Congress
to make in the Federal excise
tax structure. But already the
pattern Of study and questioning
indicates that the bewildering
array of trees of different or
doubtful foliage has not caused
the subcommittee to lose sight of
the overall forest. The subcom-
mittee seems to be emphasizing
equalization rather than elimi-
nation. If it sanctions any re-
auctions it seems likely to insist
on corresponding new revenue.
Two Facts Outstanding
Even a casual and inexpert
visitor at the hearings last week
must have been struck by at
least two things:
/. That the United States
Treasury, which now obtains
more than $9.8 billion annually
in excise tax receipts, would lose
many millions and probably bill
lions If Congress Immediately
granted all the relief requested
last week and certain to be urged
this week by spokesman for
additional organizations.

for its confusion. its often con-

application of rates.

Selling Safety

Chrysler dealers from coast to
coast have kicked off a year-long
campaign of selling highway safe
ty as well as automobiles with
Operation Glovebox', reports f..
M. Braden. general sales manager,
Chrysler Division, Chrysler Cor
pOraliOn.
Throughout the next II months
they'll place a humorous-but-seri
Gus new Chrysler safety booklet
titled From the Files of Dan
Speed" in the glovebox Of every
car they deliver
In addition, as their part in Nat
ional Safety Check Month, the
dealers have. organized to handle
auto safety checkups for each Of
their customers during the month
OF May. In this way they will reach
millions Of Americans.
In the 24-page glOvebox booklet,
a cartoonist's Joe Friday-type safe
ty expert named Dan Speed takes
new Chrysler owners through typi-
cal accident case histories and
hands out wary comments as well
as sage advice on modepn accident
prevention.
"Chrysler Division asked me to
check my files and pick out some
typical accident-causing driving
situations" says Dan Speed on the
inside cover. "My files are full of
hot cases, each one a good Illus
tration of poor driving habits-or
just plain poor manners"
Dan Speed takes the reader
through "The Case of the Back
Alley Blonde" THE Case of the
Washboard Stop, and IL other
typical traffic situations.
Throughout 1856 Chrysler deal
ers will join in stressing Dan
Speeds nine essentials for modern
safe driving;
l. When your wheel drops off
the edge of the highway, controll-
ing your car is extremely difficult.
Avoid trying to swing back over
the curb-edge before slowing down.
g. When you have blowout,
don't brake suddenly-brake grad
ually and come to a smooth,
straight stop Safety rim wheels
make blowouts harmless.
3. Slow down on hills and don't
pass.
A. Use your windshield washer
and replace the windshield wiper
blades when necessary.
5. Driving too slow can be dang
erous. When entering a high-speed
highway. make sure you can accel-
crate to cruising speed before the
car behind catches up with you.
6. When you come to a green
signal just as it turns yellow, look
both ways for drivers on the cross
street who may be jumping" the
green a bit.
T. Use turn indicators early
when they'll do some good
s. Tap your horn when coming
out of an alley or any blind sit
uation."
o. Blink your lights in daytime
to warn truck drivers you want to
pass. Remember-The can't hear
