Columbus, March 19.—Twenty-three Democrats voted with 04 Republicans, .and by vote of 87 to 15 attached the emergency clause to the Moore oil in­ spection bill in the house. Minority Loader Kramer, who had served no­ tice the Democrats would oppose this clause, as there was .only “a Republi­ can emergency," called a conference of his. followers, but could not line them up. Had the -clause not. been attached^ the oil inspection which was stopped by the supreme court / decision that tho excess of fees.over cost of inspec­ tion was an invalid tax, would not have, been resumed for ninety days, The bill cuts the fee in half and If the short budget bill does not limit the expense, allowance of State Oil IU-, spector Carr and his deputies, the in­ creased force of the inspector will use up im salaries and expenses most of the fees. ■ The Gallagher bill to permit non- compliance with the Green anti-coal screen law In making wage contracts with miners was reported to the house without recommendation. - Important labor bills, which stuck in committee for two months, were put on the house calendar. They in­ clude the White, bill for, an eight-hour workday, for women, from which the labor committee exemptedwomen em­ ployed In telephone and telegraph of­ fices; the Andrews bill, restricting-to eleven continuous hours the workday of railroad, employes, from which the committee exempted electric railroad employes; the Bohm bin for one day’s rest in seven; the King bill, forbid­ ding the Issuance of. Injunctions in strikes except to prevent irreparable injury to property; the Benedict bill, forbidding the importation of strike- The railroads won « committee vic­ tory when the utilities committee re-’ ported the WinanS toilVWhich the sem ate passed, but amended it to give the utilities commission the right to suspend a scheduled increase in rates for only thirty days, not ten months, with a possible extension for thirty more days. No Lobby Probe. Chairman Frank Relghard of the house finance committee, the instiga­ tor of the lobby probe which had been planned, left with the committee oh a tour of inspection of state Institu­ tions,- after listening Intently to A comprehensive denial. made to the bouse, by Dr. Van S. Deaton of Miami of having started the report that Un­ der the guidance of a lobbyist some members of' the finance • committee thad indulged, in a night of wild dissi­ pation in Cleveland. On going, Chair­ man Relghard said his present notion was to drop the matter and not offer bis resolution for a probe. None of his colleagues expects him to offer it on his return of that there will be any investigation by the house. A majority of the senate committee on temperance recommended for pas­ sage the McDermott liquor license de­ centralizing hill. That the measure in Its present form meets with ap­ proval of few senators was admitted,, and its chances of being passed With present provisions were said to be slight. Should this bill fail, it is un­ derstood 8enator_Moore will produce c I b pet measure. The McDermott plan of having couhty license commission­ ers appointed by county clerks grouped In districts Is one of tho chief bones of contention. Efforts to legislate the Duchess of Manchester'out of her right to act as co-executrix of the estate of Eugene Zimmerman of Cincinnati, her father, hiay prove a failure, The bill by Sen­ ator Pink of Cincinnati, designed to work this end, met with such serious opposition when it came tip for pas­ sage that its author had It recommit­ ted to the. judiciary committee to be amended, If possible, to eliminate the most objectionable features. Rather than see the Bragg bill de­ feated and no protection afforded quail, friends of the measuro in the senate submitted to amendments cut­ ting from five to two years the time during which they may not be killed. The bill asj passed provides continued protection uhtll 1017, instead of 1920, as approved by the house. The bill goes back to the house tor concur­ rence. The new civil service law. will not to enacted until week after next. In­ sistence by Senator Moore, whose .civil service bill passed by the senate Wednesday, that* it not be thrown aside and the Barnaa civil ser­ vice bill, which was on the house cal­ endar for passage, be given prefer- gneo, caused the house to recommit the Barnes bill. . ,, , - £t*eudcd, toe -dry meeting- a t Xenia laa t,W«*Hn<today, ' .

Gonwell and Austin have come over t©Mr. Wll- iliamson, who favored the plan from the first. The county piayB into the state fund for roads about $12,000 and gets back $l7,p00, beside a large share of the auto license money, about $4,000, for road repairs. It looks like good! business to accept the offer and not lofet the money raised by taxation for the county that would otherwise go to some other county. The commissioners have voted to improve the 2% miles out of James­ town, bn the Xenia pike, this part of the road never having ben improved, REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. CHURCH SERVICE.

When a commercial traveler goes to a town he forms his opinions from lo­ cal conditions as he finds. ■ And as he sees us, so will other communities and Other people see us. Jf houses- are neatly painted, yards well kept, stores'©lean and goods1well displayed, streets kept ih good repair, with a spirit of thrift and progressive- ness in evidence, he so advertises us in his travels, in other parts of the country. • . The town soon becomes known as a live, up-to-date community—its people as men of brains and a capacity for self development. (But what of the reverse? If th e town* shows evidence of care­ lessness on the pant of its citizens, with the attendant appearance of in­ activity and lack of civic pride, the traveling man catalogues it- in his' memory as one of the “dead ones,” and as a dead one it becomes 'known whereever its name is mentioned. For the traveling men of this coun­ try, whose eyes are always open and ever bn the alert, make It a business to report actual .conditions to their em­ ployers and to others of their class. | R. P.
