Raising-such a. question may not bring applause from the legal fraternity, hut fievcrtheless the public questions the practice. The public also is watching to see of the lawyers and the courts will es­ tablish a precedent in this county whereby the executor or administra­ tor can force benlficiaries tinder a will to sign Up in full, while there is yet funds in the estate account deposited; in bank. Hundreds of people fn this i county have acted in theveapacity of admin* istrator or executor. They have been !given to understand the extreme limit on.making settlements,.

From the description of the Clothing, the authorities are convinced Dipt the mystery has been cleared. * The older Ohio get# the. least its population is to have in the say of local government. A. Columbus dis­ patch this week states that the com­ ing legislature, that meets in January will consider abolishment of all town­ ship government, except Justices of the peace. The last legislature created whatis known as tjri Legislative Com­ mittee oh Taxation and Economy. It la this committee that will likely pro­ pose the'change for centralized gov-s eminent. *, , Another plan is to abolish all local school boards and place all the schools in the county under one county board. The plan tp abolish township gov- , ernment and create one centralized ‘ school system te desired by interests . that can'dp business with one board - and enjoy business privileges that are not possible now. The plan is nothing more than what was"in force in -Ger­ many under the rule of Kaiser Wil­ liam that is now an*exile in Holland. Each year xor some twenty years back has seen the power of local of­ ficials curtailed. Village councils at one"time granted .franchises and fix­ ed rates for telephones, electric lights' and gas companies. But this power is nqw in the hands of a .com­ mission that is . appointed .and con­ trolled through the influence of utill ity interests* The public has’no rep­ resentation and even the largest citiee. have trouble getting ahearing on such t matters as-.effect not only the price o f various utility products but the“'kind of service rendered. * , The state tax commission is another body that has robbed county officials of former powers. Each county is now subject to orders from'this board with no chance-of appeal from its derisions . A few years ago. the office of township treasurer was abolished as’ well as school treasurer and-these ■ duties laid on clerks*. * With the abolishment of tobmBhip trustees alt’chance for local rpad im­ provement is lost: The tendency is. for all fUqds Beingjspent on.-the jnain1?, pays a big tribute. .With the township tretatee opt .of the way the state can use these funds where* it pleases and those who live from main roads can ; get-along’ the beRt way possible. This ’ means a great reduction of farm Val- uses on land from the main highways. Local school'boards now have littlb or nothing to say other than to carry,, out orders under certain laws and levy tax rates to meet tfie demands of the state. With the' township trus­ tees abolished the clerk will not be ' needed and it is proposed to do away with that office. It is proposed to only have town­ ship lines for election purposes and for geographical designations. 1H Cedarville Rated Best Trade Town In' County A representative of » chain store broker was in town several days ago seeking a location for a store one of the companies wants to open, From thjs gentleman we learned that Ce­ darville stands first in.the county out­ side of the county .seat, from a busi­ ness standpoint. Such a reputation for the town is commendable. We also this same broker was seeking places for four chain stores in Xenia.
