IS CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1921 PRICE, 11.50 A YEAR WhoBuries IndigentPoor? For years back the township and county have had*poor funds, money, raised by taxation to care for the poor and for the burial of indigont persons. Township trustee have ‘heretofore certified such eases to the commis­ sioners on blank furnished by the county under the law. Recently a question arose in Xenia township and the matter was put up •to I’rosecUtor Kenneth William son who secured an opinion from the attorney general that each cor­ poration or township must bury its own dead. Section 3495 page'274 was nmend- 919 and it seems the county officials'! did not know it and have been acting under the old law. . This week Cedarville /township re ­ ceived 1 bill from an examiner who isjrjiow*going over tile ’county books that Cedarville township owed the county $391 as illegal payments for burying, the township’s dead. The trustees have no funds to meet the bill and are a t sea to know what to do. The trustees also are -of the pinion that most of these cases are U SPECIAL WASHINGTON SNAPSHOTS OF ARMAMENT CONFERS Found Dead InWoodShed Despondent, it is supposed, because of ill health, Mrs, William Estep, wife of a tenant on Andrew Bros, farm, formerly the Hopping farm, OHIO NEWS IN BRIEF Yeggs forced an entrance into (ho Eadicott-Jobnson company’s store a t Dayton and escaped with approxi­ mately JR300 la cash after blowing open the safe.

The village as as near broke as any municipality of its size in the state, The law does not compel the village to levy for a poor fund nor did it under the old law. A fair sam­ ple of the kind of legislation we get in Ohio. Compels the village to bury the dead, but does not provide a w§y to get the funds. The same thing Was true of the legislature when it pas­ sed a law compelling hoards of edu­ cation to pay certain salaries to the school teachers. As a result all of the boards are broke and badly in debt. Cedarville school board is trying to sdll a ifine thousand dollar bond is­ sue to meet this debt; RoSs township a twelve thousand dollar issue. We l only cite these instances to show how lame our legislatures have been. The farm bureau federation has laid claim to having the .balance of power in the legislature but if such things as these are to he charged up to this organization’s sh'engtli it looks like we need someone else in control. The township trustees now have three bills for indigent burials stand­ ing against them. The corporation j,.vwhas two bills^and. neither has afiy funds. The people in the village were , taxed by the county find, the town­ ship for this purpose. I f the1village must pay these hills it should have £ refunder from the county with which to meet them as the county has the money the taxpayers paid for the poor fund. The last paragraph of section 3495 as amended reads that if the county infirmary board, now the county com missioners, is notified of such' a case it SHALL bury the dead. We do not •know how the legal department gets around that paragraph. Another section of the law says that every indigent person so buried shall have a stone or cement marker with the name of the person, date of birth and date o?’ death inscribed thereon. I f the townships and the - corporations have to meet this sec­ tion and comply with tho ruling of the attorney general some one will have to force the taxpayers to come across with morg money, In our judgment what the state is most in need of is a change in the constitution th a t will permit'the leg islature to be in session only once in every twenty five years intend of every two years. This would give the lawyers time to-get posted on the laws and a t the same time save the ' tax payers some money, as the leg­ islature of the past ten years has been largely a play house where our representatives and senators amuse themselves a t the expense of the public and adjourn only with legis lation th a t is to prove a burden to the tax payer. • REV, FRANK B.

There is a rare treat in store for theatregoers who are lovers of good musical comedy when “Up in The Clouds” produced under the personal direction qf Joseph M. Gaites, comes to the Victory Theatre) Dayton, O, for four days starting Sunday night on November the 27th with, a special' popular matinee on Wednesday. The music is by Tom Johnstone and is of the variety that is so pleasing to the ear of American music lovers and several of the catchy airs will have the audience whistling and humming before the first act is over. “Up in The Clouds” comes direct from the Garrick Theatre, Chicago, where it ran thru the entire summer, notwltli* standing the terrific heat, tho theatre was packed a t every performance, The critics were unanimous in pro* claiming it the best musical comedy Chicago has had in years and consider ing that some of the biggest hits in line were presented in Chicago last season, this is indeed a compliment. The book is by Will B* Johnstone who wrote “Take It-From Me” and this brilliant young author has furnished the excellent east an unparalleled op­ portunity for comedy with scintillat­ ing dialogue. The chorus has been carefully selected by Mr. Gaites and the handsome models that will dis­ play the gorgeous gowns Were chosen from hundreds of .the most beautiful girls in the metropolis and it is doubt ful i fthore has ever been assembled such an array of feminine iovllness in a single musical comer,y.
