The special committee’ in the legis­ lature,on taxation has recommended that the classification amendment be submitted again to the voters at the August primary. The Glassification of property for taxation was adopted by the voters at the last election by a good majority but the Supreme Court held that its wording conflicted with the Shinn amendment. The legislature has corrected this and will submit the classification amendment in August: If the Smith one per cent tax limit law is to-be pre­ served, and every home owner and farmer favors it,- then the amendment for classification of property for tax­ ation should he adopted. It is the only hope of saving a limited tax rate. It will also do away with double tax and license op automobiles. Classifica­ tion will also save the day against single or land tax that seems to be drawing nearer each year and is pos­ sible under the kind of a constitution Ohio adopted ,in 1912. WETS FILE PETITIONS. Thevoters. of Ohio one time vote dry and then some fellow files a petition asking for another election to see whether the voters are sure they are right or satisfied with the first decis­ ion. All this is possible and is to, hap­ pen' under the Bolshevik constitution adopted in this state in 1912. The 'people of this state voted for state-wide prohibition last fall rand elected a legislature that approved the national prohibition amendment. Now comes the wets with a petition of 200,000 names representing nearly every county in the state, asking for a referendum on the resolution adopts, ed by the legislature. Only 57,000 names were legally required to call such an election. It will be noticed that the designing politicians that forced through the in- iative and referendum in the consti­ tutional convention, Bigelow and oth­ ers,- have passed to the beyond politi­ cally and are seldom ever mentioned in public. The others that used, this means of stepping higher in public office are not once what they were in public‘estimation. The politicians got -the offices while the people were given a Bolshevik constitution. - CORRY SALE A HUMMER. AdvrrHae your public safe with our water-proof sale bills that withstand the weather. PRICE, $ 1*50 AfYEAH . The Elder R. and W. B. Corey sale of stock mid feed Tuesday was largely attended and amounted' to $10,962, with the cattle estimated-on weight. There was lively bidding on the cat­ tle by local and distant buyers, and Frank Townsley landed both bunches. Thgy will bo weighed at shipping time. Walter Corry Stated Wednes­ day that all the stock brought more than was expected, not a hog'selling for less than 20 cents a pound. A large part of the stock went to local buyers in this township which Mr. Corry attributes to local advertising and bills, It is expected that the cqt- tle when weighed will run the sale to over $12,000.. CONGRESSMAN TO SPEAK. .Congressman S. D. Fesa will Bpeak Sabbath afternoon at Memorial hall, Springfield, on “The Proposed Consti­ tution of tlie League of Nations.” As the Congresman was strongly opposed to the plan some weeks ago but has made no public litterance since many Republican leaders have given the league open support, followers of pub lie events are anxiously waiting what the Dr. will haye to say on this im­ portant topic.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS. Seth Low, former president o f Col­ umbia University, tolls an amusing story of an experience while motor­ ing through New England last sum­ mer. His car was held up at- an old- fashioned toll gate an dwhile he was waiting for change two elderly spin­ sters came along in a buggy. “How much Is the toll?” demaridednne of the old ladies, glowing at the toll gate keeper. “Twenty-five cents for a man and a hone,” said the latter. “Get out of The way, then; We're two* women and a marie,” shrilled one of the wo- ’ men. “Get up, Gladys,” and giving the reins a viciofis switch the pair disappeared in a cloud of dust.

The West Virginia legislature has passed a law that will bar any com­ pany selling gas 'produced in that state and piped to other states. As Ohio gets about 75 per cent of her gas from West Virginia, it is plain that hundreds of thousands of people and many manufacturing concerns will be denied this modern fuel. The Ohio leg­ islature expects to instruct the attor­ ney general of this state to .fight the West Virginia law in the U. S. courts and a test suit will likely be filed in a few days.

The local band will have 14 pieces including all .the popular instruments of the day. In fact there is p s band in this section of the state ooast of four slide trombone players. The local band is under the leader­ ship of Wallace Irvin who passed the examination for first class musician for over-sea duty and was detailed ".vith Clarence Sparro.w, who also pas­ sed, for special orchestra and concert work for officers gatherings. Both ■ play the trombone. Otis Tannehill of Clifton and Raymond Shepard are al­ so slide trombone players.
