AY , JULY 15,1927 PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR Jobs and more jobs at the expense of the tax payers. That in substance is the benefit that will be derived by the Marshall bill passed by the state legislature in an endeavor to restore to life the' justice o f peace courts In Ohio, that the United States Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional. ■The great majority of these'-courts over the state,' especially near the big cities, are operated by foreigners, who have po interest in law enforcement other than from the profit it brings them. Thousands o f motorists have been held up for graft in various ways and the Automobile Clubs a re: making a determined effort to kill this grafting bill -by a referendum vote. , .State Examiner James S. Clifton, of the State Bureau of Accounting, with headquarters in Dayton, has figured out that the proposed law can be made to cost Montgomery county,: the enormous sum o f $156,800 each year, with all justice courts in full operation. Many new officers will go .on the pay roll which of course is the idea to aid in building up a huge political machine over the state. The cost is to he paid hy the tax payers when the tees do not meet the expense o f oper­ ating such courts, Mn Clifton says .he evil of the hill is that the salary Is to be bciied not on fees collected jut on the number o f cases heard. Mr. Clifton says that he believes that at best Montgomery county would be impelled to put up $116,000 annually o pay for the operation of tlie-fUstice courts. This amount would have to be made up from the tax duplicate and t is probable that an additional tax levy would be made in each o f the ownships to care fo r the salaries. TAX LIMIT JULY 20.

V ' , ’ A t first we were inclined to believe that Governor Donahey had made a mistake, in vetoing the payroll for an institution that has been in operation a hundred years or bettor. . ' Later developments indicate that some unseen force started the ball roll ing in that direction and Vic added speed hy pushing his Veto pen and sending the institution, overboard. During the session a bill presented hyMrs. Viola D. Romans, representa­ tive from Franklin county, -was pass­ ed that laid tha foundation for the break. It has been noised about that the library people-over the state had a plan to do for the libraries what the school and hook companies have done in the way of supervision. There has been under way a plan to pass legisla­ tion fo r state inspection of libraries/ The librarians had to hold degrees from certain schools On how to pass out hooks and how to Arrange them Qn the shelves. It had been planned to put small libraries in communities out of business or turn them over to the county organization, The library trust saw visions o f the future and hundreds o f new jobs fo r library grad pates at handsomely fixed salaries. When Vic slashed the appropriation which the genial legislature did not pasB over his head, as i t did others, trouble started and things began to unfold.

EIGHT CANDIDATES WANT XENIA JOBS [N ew Train Schedule - Brings Early Mail j .. The new train schedule was put in effect last Monday and in some re spects provides accomodations that we did not have previous to taking off the morning accomodation trains. Train Np. 21 arriving here at 8:22 is now a flag stop and brings the first moil which is much earlier than un­ der the old schedule. There is no parcel post mail received or dispatch­ ed. The evening- train west At 7:33 is the only train that receives or brings parcel post mail. . - The first- east bound train is 11:58 A. M. and is a flag stop, Little mail is received on that train which is only a Cincinnati train. „ The next mail from the west is at 3:36 PI M. Train Np. 234 arriving here at 8:14 P. M. is a flag stop and brings no mail. The only disadvantage- is o f receiving parcel post mail in the even ing and not in the morning. The new schedule lengthens the hours of ser­ vice for the'postmaster. As there is no demand for parcel post mail in the evening it will not be worked until the following morning. By stopping train No, 21 as a flag stop passengers for distant points .west will find this useful. Passengers east can take train No. 206 at 11:58.
