FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, r a n d m u s ic a t s t a t e f a ir It lakes bawl music to thrill and arouse the best that is in man. This was very evident last Friday evening at the Ohio State Fair when John PhilUp Sousa directed his band of seventy-five pieces and was accompanied by the united high school bands numbering more than 300, It was a musical treat that one seldom hears and who is there who would not be thrill­ ed by so many musicians playing those stirring marches, El Captain and Stars and Stripes Forever, each the effort o f the March King Sousa. The stillness'£f the night air never earned strains o f music more captivating that what was heard Friday night at the State Fair. The fair might or might not have been « failure from ftll other angles, but with Sousa and his organiza­ tion and three hundred Ohio boys, to augment the program, the fair was a genuine success. HUGE AMOUNT FROM GASOLINE TAX According to figures handed out by the State Tax Com- . mission Ohio has consumed 30,890,297 more gallons of gasoline the first five months this year than’ last, covering the same months for comparison. On this same basis Ohio mofcoristBpaid the state $3,383,501.63 more the first five months than last year for the same period. It is estimated that for the year Ohio motorists will pay the staggering sum o f $31,876,679 for gasoline tax or more than two and one half millions dollars each month o f the year. There has been no complaint oyer this tax due to the fact that the motorist knows a large per cent of it goes to upkeep and im­ proving roads. It has been intimated that certain* companies supplying road machinery and materials would like to see an additional c<. nt added to the gasoline tax, making it four cents instead o f three at present. This would provide several-million- dollars more, that the motor public would be compelled to pay and probably not get any more benefits than at present. The movement is supported by ,interests expecting to profit financially-by. the additional tax; Economic conditions have Pot been the best the past year or more and no class of business has suffered more than the average retailer. The merchant of today is figuring closer on ' his costs and watching the trend of events closer than in the days when business was to be had .without asking for it. He well knows that the automobile is here,to stay and that to levy a higher tax only means that much more money taken, out of the channels o f trade and deposited with the state withTittle -hope of even a few cents on the dollar* getting back into his respective county, . - Those urging increased gasoline tax may be “ killing the goose that lays the golden egg." The motor public may keep on riding but it is a bit harder to do it this year than last. With retail merchants, wholesalers, manufacturers, and motorists combined, we predict an opposition to increased gasoline tax that may be dangerous to those Who would add another cent. And there is danger with an enraged public that part o f the present tax might be lost to the state, , ., MAINTAINING RURAL GOVERNMENT There is much concern in certain quarters because the 1400 township clerks, and 4200 township trustees in Ohio have organized jn the interest o f the rural branch of-the state govern­ ment that will go into the discard if |he next legislature passes the necessary legislation. '* ■ v * „ ,L In Ohio, as in other states, every effort is being made to relieve the rural populace of the right of having *a voice in its owngovernment, other than the ballot on the state ticket where all power is to he centralized. The movement is backed by special interests that find Jt. easier to deal with officials in Columbus thah with the. men out in the townships that are closest to the people, and have a common interest in the wel­ fare of the “people, " , • ' - From year to year th.e power o f local officials has been clipped until the average citizen has been deprived .of rights intended under the Constitution. The infamous Pence Law has ttiade consumers of utility produefsthe goat for undue profits. AH power has been taken from local officials. In the matter of taxation, that effects the renter of the farm or the home, power is now centralized in a board, in Columbus. Local officials have yet certain power but the “ last word" as to tax valuations, is centered in the Capital City. It was not so many years ago that rural, government could be criticized due to careless business methods. Today we have on the boards of township trustees and school boards, men who have had college training in many instances, and others who have been successful in their own private affairs. The business o f the rural sections was never better-administered than it is today. But this feature does not enter into the proposition to abolish rural government. The idea is now and has been for some time to abolish as much local and county government and center authority in Columbus InThe score 6f boards that have thousands of politicians on the pay rolls at fat salaries that has greatly added to the cost of state government. If the rural people of Ohio permit these changes they will be but delegating all power of self government over to trained politicians, most.of whom neither ewn a home or a farm, but will issue orders at their Will and the folks back home crin pay the bill. If the Ohio Grange and Ohio Farm Bureau have an interest In the government in behalf of the rural people they will back the movement inauguuarated by the township trustees and clerks to oppose legislation that would rob local taxpayers of what little representation they now have left. As Assistant Secretary o f Agriculture, R. W. Dunlap, stated. In his address in Xenia last week, the balance o f power now rests in the cities and the farmers are almost forced to meet the demands at what ever cost. Farm organizations have a greater duty than merely looking after the crops and marketing of same. Let conditions go on as they have been and it will be impossible to produce crops for the open market with an over­ head cost such as p o lit ico s can force on them. -e Add enjoyment to you* trip B am o tW c tt gKmjf you * delightful breskln yourjourney, C& B LINE STEAMERS E a c h W a y E V «* y N ig h t S a tw a a * C l e v e l a n d a n d B u f f a l o <n.v k :. v i- u u.tt, i)««a Me-'-.

Smith and Mr. Raskob again, Sunday declared, “ Why they are . . . " Will X tell you folks, when I wa* converted, I lost half' of my vocabulary go Xcan’t tell you what * think.” ‘ . , Again Sunday declared: “ Al Smith will not canty a .state west o f the Mississippi River unless its Arkansas and Texas." Speaking o f Josephus Daniels and. Carter Glass, and Gov. Dan Moody of -Texas, Sunday denounced them in no uncertain terms because they. *rr. supporting Smith just because he is a Democrat. "It is deplorable that outstanding; champions o f the dry cause that these men have been in the past should support Smith just because they ate Democrats and he is the party ,nom­ inee.” Mr. Sunday described -Gov Smith an a champion o f state rights and a nul- lificatiouiat. Statistics o f 'alt kinds were quoted by the evangelist to show that pro­ hibition has brought about prosperity. “ We will live to see the day when the country wilt be So dry you'll have to prime a man before he can spit!” Mr, Sunday predicted., The evangelist ended hjs plea by calling, a half-dozen young boys to the platform. . , , “ Look at these young boys, bright, clear eyed and beautiful specimens of young manhood. Would you see these ■boys turned into drunken, bleary eyed sots, hobpes and bum s?* Would you have them become debauched? then -vote for the wets at of 6p- Throughout his speec|t^I8r, Sunday raced’ back and forth ftbriws the plat­ form, jumping and s|ajx'tirig, shaking hrotaffrig.'
