FARMERSWILL ASKREFUNDRN ROADPAYMENTS Representatives o f the Ohio Berries and Tax fkDM Association have been in this township, as well as other sec tions o f the county, seeking member ship applications to their organisa tion as a part o f their plan to make their movement Statewide in 'scope. According to their “ check-up” which has required considerable time to ob tain, the farmers o f this county have been assessed $78,500.00 fo r State Roads. These assessments were made under a law enacted in 1916, which a - rovsed such a storm o f protest on ac- count o f its ineeuality, .unfairness and injustice that it was repealed in 1926 * and a gasoline tax substituted. The purpose o f the newly organized^, association is fo r toe purpose a t seek ing a refund o f those assessments, as the p nly fa ir way to settle the m at-_ ter. Although s ix years ha.ve' elapsed since the repeal and much sentiment has prevailed in Legislative circles to provide a refund, yet no individual or .organization has gone to the trouble and expense o f gathering the neces sary data upon whi3h to base a pipe ' fo r legislative enactment that would insure a.refund to the farmer. A group o f life-long citizen* o f near. by"counties took up th e task. largely because they fe lt that they themsel ves had been imposed upom. They were partly Republicans and the bal ance ^Democrats but they recognized th"e matter as non-partisan. , Legal investigation convinced them that re covery o f assessments was possible, probable and legal b y presenting a petition to the Legislature backed up by an imposing membership and au^ thorative data. Accordingly the nu cleus o f an organization, wub formed. A Corporation not fo r profit was chartered. Purposes were set out as relating to Tax R elief problems, and the gathering and dissemination o f.in formation needed to bring about wuch. relief. v Adams' county' responded w ith is membership o f more than 300 obtain ed in ten days time.
