Earhart writes lengthy letter to the Ohio State Journal informing the public that he is unable to ''debate with Senator Herbert, Columbus, on the justice o f peace graft bill, for the reason, that he is employed , by the Ohio Anti Saloon League mid the officials o f that organization do not think if advisable for him to debate the is sue. This in substance means that Sen. ( ? ) Marshall cannot enter into debate as requested by the Franklin County League o f Women: Voters, who wished to sponsor the debate. . . Attorney Earhart- has not yet been denied the time to write his daily letter to what he terms a ‘'wet” journal. Evidently the League pre fers to put out its propaganda and 'hen rhn away so that it cannot bo raced with the Other side of the ques tion. And the League, contending ihat the justice bill is-e moral mea sure! Did not the League pay the $10 fee or membership in the Columbus Automobile Club for Earhart, and the Attorney the very next day write a letter to Columbus papers favoring the commercialized court as a mem- er. of the automobile club? When this exposure - came, Esrhart fol lowed with charges that the "Auto- -rtpbile Club was a wet organization. Has he withdrawn his membership? Earhart and the League officials had good reasons for declining the debate* Exposure of what happened in the ist Senate drove them under cover. W ES SEEKING 'SAURYBOST Common Fleas Judges in Ohio,were granted an increase in salary by the J nst legislature, the salary being based an population. The city counties of course provide- their^ judges, 'with, much higher sa&rieYthan in rural Counties, For months judges of. rural counties have been sent to Cuyahoga county to hear cases. While in that county they receive .additional pay and all ex penses while in the county. Seeing another opportunity to heap ing the salary boost Judge Walter D. Jones of Miami county, who served,in the Cuyahoga county court has brought a mandamus suit against.the auditor qf Cuyahoga county to force him to issue- a warrant for $480.addi tional to bring his payup to that of the city judges. . Section 13 of Article^Four of the Ohio constitution contains this prot vision: “Thft, judges of the supreme ourt and m the court of common pleas shall at stated times receive for their services such compensation as may be provided by law, which shall not be increased or diminished during their term of office.” Taxpayers in Ohio will watch this esse with more than unusual interest. It will be a test in courts by judges interested in tbe salary increase, f t will also indicate to the taxpayers of the state whether the constitution means what it says or whether it means what the judges say, WHAT AUTOMOBILE CLUBS DO FOR THE MOTORIST CHU RCH NOT ICES U.

The clubs are organized in’ many Ohio counties, for the mutual pro tection of its members. The county organizations are banded together In the state or ganization; the atato organizations in the National organization. The Automobile dub is to auto mobile owners what .the grange and farm bureau are to farmers, A service is rendered members at a lower cost than what outsiders can get. This same service is given by other organizations, such as the farm organizations." All fpr the benefit Of the membership. The State and National automo bile organizations have put on many campaigns for the benefit of all auto members as'well as non- members. The thousands of danger signs you'. see over the country are in most cases' paid for by the automobile; clubs out of the fees paid in by the members. When it comes to unjust legisla tion both stSte ftnd national or ganizations stand up and fight for; the best interest" of. motorists, members or npn-members each get- ,ting the benefit' of the united efforts of the'clubg. » You Will remember ^hen gaso line tax was *,fire Suggested it was placed at three edits ft gallon. The road contractors * and toe lobby wanted that m^ch, The auto clubs entered a protest and held the tax at two cents, . ■ During the last session of .Con-r gress the National organization 'used its best efforts and secured a reduction In the ifrar.tax still im posed on neW cars,- „ During th4 last legislature when the extra Cent .tax Was suggested for gasoline the lobby element wanted it two cento- The contract ors were still on the job for higher priced rqada which meant greater profits to the road,. contractors,' The automobile clubs stood up and made a game fight not only for its members, tut for^11 auto owners, and the extra tax w& %ld at" one c e n t . * , . ' “ ' V ' A L - t ' 1,1 • The automohim; have al ways stood for- highway reg la- tion and observance of traffic laws. In many counties the clubs, have provided uniforms an^ motorcycles for the officerST AH the dubB have insisted upon was that the officer be a responsible person and' under the direction of the sheriff. The organized automobile clubs have secured many things for the benefit of the public. It w.'m the one organization that insisted that the gasoline tax money be spent on the streets and highways whentoe politicians were determined to have it spent for any-old-thing—mostly themselves. * ‘ What could you as a motor-car owner have expected from the Anti-Saloon League in getting pro tection that did not cost you a cent unless it was the fee you pay as a member of the club? All toe clubs are contending for in the referendum is fair treatment for all the motorists in Ohio, When this is granted the club member- ‘ ship, it benefits the owner of every car. Without the automobile clubs you would today be paying a high er tax on gasoline. The same old war tax and the war having ended ten years ago. You would be with out the danger signal at dangerous places. You would have no one to represent you in the legislature and protect your interests. The Ohio Automobile Clubs, each club in .Ohio, is interested in the referendum and urging its mem bers to oppose the justice of peafce graft bill, designed to erect a huge political machine in the state at toe expense of the taxpayers, The*so- called author of the ’ bill has ad mitted in public debate that this tax is certain. For this admission his sponsors have not permitted further debates in public. * The issue is economical. It con cerns every home and farni owner, If. you are willing to pay a higher tax it is right and proper that you support the bill. To those who realize What the burden of taxa tion is, the bill is but opening the gate for politicians to. walk to the county treasury once each month and draw a salary guaranteed by the county. At this time it is necessary for the county, Xenia .city and the school board to cut necessary expenses to bo under tbe fifteen mill limitation; and toe. operation of the justice graft bill not yet possible* WILL PREACH NEXT WEEK IN LOVELAND PLANSFORMED FORBIGLOCAL HALLOWE’EN While the date for the Hallowe'en eelebratioh'has not.heen definitely set it will likely be Monday, October 31, A committee from the I, O.

GUMDELEGATES TOBEBANQUETED While members of boys and girls lubs of this and other Ohio counties are attending the annual club week rt Ohio State University, they will be mteriained &t one of the most unique banquets ever’ planned, it was an nounced by J, R, Kimber of the Greene County Farm Bureau today. The banquet is to be given under the general direction of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation by a large number of co-operative farm organizations of ;ho state. Much of the food to be served to nearly .6Q0 boys and girls who are ex pected to be in •attendance at the meeting is to be furnished by the farm groups. Dairy products will :cme to the banquet table from dairy marketing associations. Fruit co operatives will furnUh Ohio grown fruits for the occasion. Livestock groups will furnish meats, and co operating poultry producers will send of their best products. The banquet proper will be preceded by a trip about the city o f Columbus under the direction of the Chamber of Commerce. The program at the banquet will be brief and informal. In place of speeches by officials, the story of the various co-operatives sponsoring the banquet will be given the guests in the form of ti compli mentary menu-booklet. Among the organizations backing the dinner are the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation; Farm Bureau Service, Corporation, and Insurance Com panies; the Ohio Livestock Co operative Association and Producer commission associations of Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati; co-operative dairy associations in territory arouad Cleveland," Dayton, Toledo, Columbus and qther sections; association of growers of fruits and vegetables, and others* Directors and other officials of these groups, ..attending the banquet are expected to swell the number attend ing to approximately 800 people* Junior Schools To Bo Set Back Junior high schoels have crawled back into the seventh and eighth grades subjects which feffi&erly be longed exclusively to the four- yeer school curriculum and as a result seventh and eighth-grade students are burdened with more than their proper work, according to John L.

The highway courts aVe given to understand that they might not make .as much money as Under the old law but that the $250 .monthly was sure as all costs and fees would be paid whether collected or not. Such costs would come from tax funds from the county treasury. This week John R. Holcomb, a jus tice of peace in Franklin county sends out a letter urging all justices to get busy for the bill. According to the State Bureau of Examiners in an examination- cover ing November 19, 1923 to May 27, 1925, Holcomb owed tbe state $461.50, and his own township, Clinton, $662.50, which he was- required to put up. Of the 583 caBes in Holcomb's court during the period of the examination, 342 were against motorists, and-1X5 iquor cases. \ With the taxpayers guaranteeing the costs of- highway .courts, and the justices o f such courts putting a state ■wide campaign for supporting, the -Marshall bill qhquld be abundant 'evidence that toe' 'owners of auto- ihobiler^eftrife^iM'gbur.
