Sophomores, Thursday, September 2 at 2 o'clock. Juniors, Friday, September 3 at 9 Belief Money From Real Estate Representatives o f several large cities in the state secured the tenta­ tive .approval o f Gov. Davey, Dem., to call a session o f the legislature in October to raise taxes for relief and other suggested purposes. The legis­ lature is Democratic but the upper branch'has not always followed orders from the Governor. The program approved was as follows: 1. A state wide tax levy to be allo­ cated back to the taxing districts from which .it is collected, with sur­ plus to be used for streets and gen­ eral operating expenses. 2. State appropriations to wipe out all local relief deficits accumulated to Dec. 31, this year. 3. Enactment o f a temporary relief program for the remainder o f this year and a permanent program there­ after. 4. Authorization for special tar levies for relief and current operations to be voted by a majority instcad o f the present 65 per cent. 5. A clarification q f relief laws ta establish definitely what class of relief clients shall be cared for by municipal­ ities, the counties and townships. The relief racket in Ohio is a Demo­ cratic plan to filch money from prop­ erty owners in municipalities and from farm land. The last legislature re­ fused to pass a relief measure at that time and most rural counties openly opposed such a law. An effort will be made to force such a bill if the’ Gov­ ernor does not change his mind. Public reaction will have much to do with carrying out the program, The time Is also here when farmers should demand that state leaders of the Grange and Farm Bureau should awake and once more take an active stand against this political campaign program fostered by the big city poli­ ticians. It should be interesting to know how the heads o f the controlling committees o f the Democratic party stand in tile various rural counties on this proposed new tax plan for so- called relief.

More than a week ago the commit­ tee was called by Chairman Homer Henry at which time twelve o f fifteen members voted to circulate petitions asking for the impeachment o f Sheriff Henkel for ignoring an order of Prosecutor Marcus Shoup to stop slot machine gambling. The action developed a renewal o f the old factional lines within the party and it was not long until Henkel had the signatures o f twenty-two o f the- twenty-four members asking for the meeting to vote him a, dean bill of lading and a vote o f confidence. The Sheriff attended the Monday evening meeting,and witnessed the same crowd withdrawing the dirty linen from pub­ lic view that only a few days previous was ready for impeachment. A lot o f things ,can hqppcn in poli­ tics in either party and .pressure from higher up with the dangling o f patronage and soft jobs at the expense o f taxpayers, converts ; many an honest party committeeman, devoted churchman qnd true American citizen.
