ONCE MORE GASOLINE TAX BOBS UP The Ohio Legislature continues to flounder around trying to find something to tax. For several weeks the law-making body'has played away at an expense of more than $1,000 a day to the taxpayers of the state. Not a single measure has been passed that can be called an attempt at a reduction in the cost of state government. When the session, opened there was talk o f economy and efficiency and most of all a short session. There ~was-also talk of reduced cost of conducting the legislature. Not a move has been made to reduce present costs. Some one or two members have publically critized the method of junket trips about the state with all kinds of hanger's on, including members of families and friends. A ll have been riding over the state having railfare, hotel accomodations and even porter service paid from .the state treasury. With all of this the tax­ payers can have no hope of seeing a reduction in the cost of the operation of the state. Candidate Myers Cooper made much o f this method of doing business last fall, -The Republicans are pledged for a change but it is not forth-coming and it will not be for the reason that tax spenders are in charge instead of the economists. < The stateis broke. You were told that by the Republicans in the last campaign and it went broke because the leaders of the legislature two years ago were out more for protection to the utility interests than to the citizens of the state.! You hear . more today about spending five million dollars,for a new state office building than you do about anyother subject unless it is the measure to increase all salaries of state officials, including members of the state legislature. , There may be some need of a new state office huilding. It would meet with public approval if the state were not “ broke” The city of Columbus has offered a site free. ^The state now is . the owner of ten acres in the heart of Columbus that is the most beautiful site for a state capital, far superior to what we have seen in many eastern states. It is now proposed to pay the huge price of $1,600,000 for another site across the street from the present capitoi building. It is preposterous to think of such • a. niov6 while the state’s cash box is at low ebb and everything being taxed down to the baby buggy and the infant's nipple. • Once more it is proposed to advance the tax on gasoline by one cent a gallon, making it three instead of two, at present There is going to be stiff opposition to this increase making the motprist pay and provide financial aid for one division of the state government, while the legislative body plays horse build­ ing a state house to cost five million and also making great in­ creases’ in salaries. The position of the legislature is rediculous , In the eyes of the people of the state. The plan to add one cent to the gasoline tax does not come from the public at large. The material and road machin­ ery Interests want more money, first for. their own profit and secondly that the state have more improved roads. This demand for gasoline tax increase also comes from the utility in terests. The more taxes raised otherwise, the less the utility companies will be taxed.^Une exponent of the gasoline tax who has much influence about the legislature admitted to the writ- ter last week that the gasoline tax was the logical move. He insisted that !as much or more gasoline was now being, consum ed in the rural districts as in the cities, The land owner hac been Relieved unjustly two years ago of a share of road con1 Struetion costs that he should pay for the added value an im proved road meant to his land. The argument cohtinued tha' .. the-gasoline tax would be paid by more people than even to ■ adopt the state levy. The bread truck, the milk truck, the live­ stock truck,- were cited as being compelled to pay this gasoline tax and have the increased cost of operation added to the sell­ ing price of merchandise. The public passenger buss would- be compelled to increase fares, His argument was almost proo ., to the writer. The rural element would no doubt pay a larger percent of the road cost in mote ways than one. The farmer has no way to pass this increased cost of “gasoline tax” on to the consumer, as have manufacturers, wholesalers and retail ers. . ' . • ** The unjustness of the present tax situation is the policy the : state permits in allowing utility companies to have two differ­ ent valuations. A low. one for taxation, when the home owner and farmer ar;e being increased; and a high one, probably twice the first, for rate-making purposes. . Now that the utility interests are so vitally interested in increasing the gasoline tax, or taxing any other commodity, the automobile clubs should ,along with the Farm Bureau and the Grange, demand that the utility companies have but one valu ation, the same as permitted other lines of business. The utility interests have been entitled to fair play but the methods of levying tribute and profit from the* public has about soured the public. It's time now for retaliation. The Farm Bureau, the Grange and Automobile Clubs can by co-operation exert a dominating influence in the legislature The utility companies must depend on high salaried lobbyists, and not all the state knows what is taking place in committee rooms and hotel chambers between members of the legislature and the lobbyists. > ' CONGRATULATIONS CAMfc FORTH Seh .(?) L. T. Marshall, has received congratulations for his part in introducing the bill that was to benefit Wilmington College at the expense of the other .colleges of Ohio, as well a'S at the expense of the taxpayers of the state.. Wilmington owed the Senator ( ? ) much for his efforts in their behalf. By the way we do not read commendatory articles in newspapers from any of the forty or more college towns in the state that were much in opposition to the Wilmington plan of subsidy. It the Sen ator (7 ) Is receiving congratulations in Greene county, it is over the defeat of his bill. One statement on the floor of the House should not be forgotten. Rep. Knapp wanted to know: “ Who had land to sell and who had cattle to sell?” to Wilming­ ton College if the Marshall bill passed. WASHINGTON C.

I Most mothers are good, But many mothers are too good, that is, they are backward* and do more harm than good for for their children. • For instance, there is the too-indulgent mother. Hvery- thing her child does is right and she cannot ever bear toreprove him. I recall an incident of the wife of a prominent man who was out walking with her child. For some offense she slapped him, and she immediately knelt down in the snow and asked his pardon and promised never to do it again. Piffle, It is all important to the young human being that he shall learn to recognize and respect the laws of the universe, moral as well as financial. This is no pinkctea world. Sooner or later he is going to run up against it. r’ Unless a mother recognized these limitations and teaches her child to recognize them, she is doing him harm. I know a son who has lied, stolen and done almost every­ thing wrong, but who yet is the apple of his mother’s eye. What he needs is to get some good stiff punishment for his sins, but he always appeals to his mother and is saved from paying for his crime. • Another kind of mother who wrongs her son is the one who will’not let him go when he has reached the age of manhood and chooses a wife. This mother tries to continue her hold on him with the result of making the wife jealous. One Essential of good motherhood is to let the fledgling try his own wings when he is old enough, A mother should control herself and should know the in­ evitable laws that governs souls. She should be wise and see that her son obeys them. It is to his interest to find them out soon and to govern his life by them. She must not prevent him from doing this. Very often the devoted mother sees that her son is patted gently when he really needs a swift kick. In the end the hearty kick does him more good than the gentle pat. NOTICE !

The announcement concerning the death of Christ, accompanied with the shaping of events which.pointed to a speedy accomplishment of. the same, shattered the disciples* hope. The Lord told them that He was going away and that they could not follow Him, This brought great grief to their bekrts. They perhaps began to doubt His Messlahghip, but He did hot leave them comfortless. 1. He asked them , to believe and trust in Himself as God (v. 1). “Ye believe in God; believe also In me.*' Faith in’ the God-man, Christ Jesus, will steady the heart, no mat­ ter bow great the sorrow or intense the grief. If we will but place the cares, and burdens of Hie upon Him our tears shall be’ turned Into Joy afad our despondency transformed into a radiant hope. 2. He assured them that He was going to prepare a place for them In His Father's house (v. 2). He assured them that that place would have an abundance of room, for there were “rnuuy, mansions" In His Father’s house. We should learn from this that heaven Is not an imaginary pluce. It Is a prepared place for a prepared people, * ( 3. tie assured them that He would , come again and escort them to heaven {v. 8). Jesus will not wait for His own to ' come to Him, but will personally come back to the earth, and call forth from the graves those who have died in the faith (I Thess. 4:16, 17), and trans­ form living believers and fake them all to be with Himself In the heavenly home for evermore. When He said, “1 will come again,” He no doubt meant His personal, bodily and Hteral return to this eartli, ' II. Assurance of the ftssurrsctlonrof the Body (II Cor. 5:1-10). That .which nerved Paul for his conflict even when physical death threatened was the as­ surance that even such violence would but hgstett his presence^with the Lord. As he faced the uncertain future he was sure: 1, That his present body was only a tabernacle, a tent, in which he lived temporarily (v. 1). Though this tent were destroyed he had nothing to fear, as there .was a building to take its place, This, house which is to take the place of the tent* Is' 41) From God. (2) Not made with hands. (8) It is eternal. Our natural body at best crumbles to dust In about three score and ten years, but the resurrection body shall abide forever. ' (4) It is to be'"In the heavens,*' 2, He earnestly longed for the change (vv, 2-4). The human person­ ality instinctively shrinks from a state of disembodiment, but the Intelligent Christian earnestly longs for the ex­ change of the natural body for the spiritual. We long to put off the per­ ishable and take on the Imperishable, 3, This plan w A b wrought by God <v„ 5). God did not fashion the body for death, but for life, Gocfls not the God of the dead but of the living. 4- Believers should be of good cour­ age (W. 6-8). While we live in this body we are absent from the Lord, but because of the Holy Spirit dwelling within ns, we confidently walk by faith,' being more anxious to be absent from the body and present with the Lord. . 5, The believer’s chief concern In this life should be to please the Lord (vv. 9, 10). ' Nothing matters—health, sickness, strength, weakness, fame or obscurity, friends or lonellni.-.s—provided at the end of the Jonrney yre hear the Lord’s “well done, good and faithful servant’’ III, Glorified With the Lord (I Jno. 2 : 2 , 8 ). We are now'.God’s children, but th^ change which awaits the resurrection has not- come yet When it comes It will reveal onr Wonderful future. When the Son of God shall’ be mani­ fest we shall be like Him In glory, When Christ shall come again the saints shall share His glory, This glo­ rious hope will transform the life.
