The pperation ot tho new one per cent, tax law has puzzled officials and tho budget commission, consist­ ing of County Auditor Dean, Pros­ ecutor Johnson and Mayor Dodds of Xenia, have been busy making the levy for tho county and various raxing dI s le t s , The law is such that no more mohey caii be levied than that of last year. Various school districts made low levies at that time because of a--surplus that was carried and now tlie surplus has vanished and the levy permitted w ill not raise sufficient funds. Cednryille township and the town­ ship school district are in excellent condition and-these officials will have no trouble. In the village school district tin? board will fare well this year owing to a small sur­ plus on hand bat there is nothing in sight fpr next year other than a shortage. In the village the situa­ tion is about’the same.. It has been stated that under the new law it would be necessary for a vote ot the people to nuthorze an extra tax for electric lights but legal authorities on this point say that sucii will not be the case. The village has enter­ ed into a contract with a light com­ pany and this cannot be impaired by the new tax law not creating sufficient funds. Summer Institute August 16th.

PRICE, $1.00 A YEAR The movement for the early atlmis- rlon of Ohio into the rniou bad its origin In the partisan controversy he- tween the Federal and Anti-Federal parties. .General Arthur St, Clair, governor of the Northwest Territory and friend to Washington, Adams and Hamilton, represented tlie inlorests of.the former cn the western frontier; Howard Tiffin, Jeremiah Morrow and Thomas Worthington,- all ardent sup­ porters. of Thomas Jefferson, were prominent leaders of the opposition. In the erection of a new state they sought the overthrow of St, C'air and the advancement of the Interests of the Anti-Federal or Democratic party.' Their zeal in'this work was intensi­ fied by their antipathy to the person­ ality of St, Clair, who was imperious and unfortunate in the manner of his rule. X . ■ i Congress passed an enabling act providing for the erection of the new state, which was approved April 30, •1802., It fixed the boundaries of the s’ ate and provided for holding tlie ■constitutional convention, .beginning the first Monday of the following No­ vember. The delegates were elected by the people. On the organization of. the .convention at Chilllcothe, Ed­ ward- Tiffin- was . chosen president. The sessions continued, from the first to’ the-twenty-ninth day of November, • After determining, with but one dis­ senting vote, that It was expedient "to form a state constitution and gov- eminent," the convention proceeded to frame a constitutuion, .which be­ came operative without submission to a vote of the people. •The convention of thirty-five delegates was in session twenty-five [fays at an expense to the state of $4,556.75.' Tlie partisan contest that hastened tho admission of Ohio int£ the Union is reflected in the -first constitution. Having disposed of St Clair, the fol­ lowers of Jefferson determined to guard against the "autocracy” of any future governor. This office, under the constitution “had more honor anil dignity than power." The. governor had no veto. Sovereign powe1* was conferred chiefly upon the legislature, which had authority to elect judges and state officials as well as make and repeal laws. It had also practi­ cally unlimited powers In the grant­ ing of charters to Corporations, H is needless to observe that in these times there is no disposition to invest pur General Assembly with such ». We&lurA bt ‘ tlfe»-*?Mx;^ the*-state. In 1819, the question ot bolding a constitutional convention was. sub­ mitted to the voters* o£ the state, but the proposition was defeated by a majority of 22,328 in a total .vote of 86,302. Second Constitutional Convention. The second constitutional conven­ tion was held In 1850-51. The con­ stitution 1’ framed is popularly known as the constitution, of '1851. Perhaps the most conspicuous and Industrious advocate of this convert/ tion to frame a new constitution was Hon. Samuel Medary of Oolumbus, Ohio, editor of the Ohio Statesman, and one of the lending Democrats of the state. Iti the numerous editor- ltls that he published on the subject are set forth the grounds on which he favored a new' constitution. Afnong other things he claimed: 1. That the first constitution had been hastily and loosely drawn; that It had never been submitted to the people; that the state had. outgrown the usefulness and limitations of that Instrument, 2. That the judklary system of the state should be thoroughly- re­ vised tq the end that justice might be done without vexatious delays, 3. That sessions of the general as­ sembly should be held * biennially Instead of annually. 4. That i provision should be made requiring the general assembly to re­ fer every measure increasing the state debt to a vote of the people. 5. That state officers, including judges, should be elected by the peo­ ple, The question of holding a constitu­ tional convention was submitted to the people ht the October election in 1849, The total vote cast at this election was 235,370; for the conven­ tion, 145,698; agninBt It. 51,171. Tho legislature that ntet the following De­ cember made provision for the con­ vention, the delegates to which were elected April 1, 1850, As already stated, Mri Medary was the chief advocate of a new Constitu­ tion. It Is said that, along with his unselfish and patriotic desire to serve “ the whole people" in this matter,, he cherished a personal ambition to be a bright and shining light in this con­ vention. Me was therefore candidate for delegate from Franklin tbunty. But, alas! the perversity of "the peo­ ple.” Remembering that It was the first day of April they gave Mr, Me­ dary a surprise and elected over him Mr. John Graham, a surveyor. Me" dary was keenly tUsappoInled. The convention met in the capitol at Columbus May 8, 1 850, where it continued In session until July 9 ot the same year. It adjourned and met again in Cincinnati, Dec. 2, 1850, where It continued in Session, till March 10, TsSl. William Meddl pre­ sided. The convent,on whs in session k’together 135 days, and cost the state $94,441.32, It numbered 109 delegates. In due time the new constitution was framed and submitted to the people, It embraced most of Urn re­ forms advocated by Its chief promo­ ter arid retained much that Was good In the first constitution. In genera] It transferred sovereign power from the legislature tg the «*opl® and re* ment .it met' in that, city, where Jt concluded, its labors May 15, ,1874. The convention m s in actual session 188 days. It po's£ the state $192,500. The constitution submitted to ■ tbe people contained.^ number of changes from the constitution of 1S5J, most of them of minor importance. These changes arc set fjjrth In detail in the Ohio State Journal of May 22, 1874. Many of them relate to legislative and judicial procedure, The lieutenant-'governor was an- thorized-to, vote fii cases of an equal division of the-senate'. The lerm of office of tho suprepie judges was ex­ tended to ten years and a* the first election under this,' constitution no elector was to be permitted to vote for more than three of the five judges; this was designed;-to Insure minority representation."'

Some of its provisions have since been adopted 'os amendments to the constitution. In 1391, the people voted down the proposition of holding a .constitution­ al convention'. Total vote, S.03,528; for the convention, 99,784; against it; 161,722. It will he noted that many electors did not vote at all on the proposition. DELEGATE PETITIONS.
