Road Roller Damaged Hallowe’en Night County Commissioners Wednesday morning surveyed damage done dur­ ing the night to a road roller on the west side of the comity. It is thought to have been the work of Hallowe'en celebrants. The wiring was damaged and the-roller pushed off the road in­ to a ditch breaking an axle.' The damage will be about $500 but worst, of all the rollar will be out of com­ mission for some time just when it is badly needed for road work before the weather turns to winter. Many farmers report shocks of fod­ der being set afire in corn fields and outers report farm gates being broken down with axes.

Marker said his office had received no reports of water shortages from Ohio cities, although many home wells have dried and farmers in many sec­ tions, are hauling water. Roosevelters Give Up Ohio As Lost Cause About the deadest place in Colum­ bus it Democratic CIO.Hillman ’head­ quarters/ TheOhio contingent, even the backers of Lausche, have lost hope since the Democratic National Com­ mittee refused to route FDR to Cleve­ land for a last-ditch campaign speech. The campaign managers in New York City have marked -Ohio as a lost state for their candidate, Anoth­ er excuse given by anti Roosevelt Democrats is that Roosevelt's health will not stand a trip to Ohio for they must save him for his Boston speech.

Taft Puts Pearl Harbor Blame At RoQSVidfs Dopr The Republican Rally a t Central Hi Field House, Xenia, last Thursday evening was attended by about 600, citizens interested in the present cam­ paign. The evening time had to be divided with Madison county, the lat­ ter having the same speakers, Sen. Robert A. Taft and Congressman Clarence J. Brown. The meeting opened with a concert oy the Central Hi school band of 30 pieces. ■Congressman Brown was introduced iy karlh Bull, chairman of the meet- ng, whp gave a short talk on the is­ sues of the day and in turn introduced Senator Taft,, who talked for about *orty minutes, Senator Taft made in impression on the audience as he lefended the Republican minority, in joth branches of Congress. His report on Pearl Harbor was quite different ,han what the New Dealers have put out. The Senator is a candidate for re-election and according to reports from all sources, he is expected to carry the state by a large majority, due to the fact his opponent has a di­ vided house among the Democrats. The Senator, spoke before a crowded Kelly Haft a t Antioch previous to his trit> to Xenia. He faced a somewhat hostile audience but was quick to ans­ wer all questions from the floor. Which only convinced the crowd tfiat he knew what he was talking about, .The Senator and a*number of Re ublicans were guests of Mayor LoWell Fess, for dinner a t the Antioch Tea room for dinner. Mayor Fess is a can­ didate for state representative. Yesterday Mayor Fess had Cong, Clarence J. Brown as his guest when he spoke before the Antioch students. Sen, Taft, and Cong.

The laws presume that it is the duty, of every voter to'first seek his legal voting place, The action brought before the Greene. County Board of Elections was brought within the legal time for protest to be Ailed where reg­ istration is required. . ' . The protest was against the Board of Election issuing ballots to voters in What is known as “Hebble Homes” a, government project within the village of Fairfield, the land being taken over for military purposes to house mil­ itary labor at ’Patterson Field. A- second protest has been filed agin&t what is knowh as “SkyWay Park, unin corporated, Bath Twp. owned by the government and taken under condem­ nation proceedings in U. S. Court in Dayton, the owners giving the govern­ ment a- warrantee deed. The protests were filed by; Karlh Bull, a citizen of the county, who is al­ so chairman of the Republican Execu- tive committee. He was represented ,by Attorney Robert W. Wead, Xenia* who presented the issues to the board Wednesday afternoon. After giving consideration to the petitions adjourn­ ment was taken until evening that Prosecutor Mai’cus Shoup could be consulted by the board. The board by consent placed the issue with the two Attorneys, who were to seek an opin- . ion from the Attorney General, Thom­ as .Hurbert, Columbus. ‘ Thursday the attorneys and interested parties ap­ peared before the department where the matter was presented. The constitution of the State of Ohio Section 5, Article 5, says: “No person in the military, nayal or ma­ rine service of the United States shall by being stationed in any garrison, or military, or nayal station* within this state, be considered-a resident of this - state.” Practically all of the persons in both section in question are work­ ing for the government. According to the records in the court house all government land in question is recorded as-“belonging to the United States of Apierica” ahd is tax free. > There is on record a t Columbus at the Governor's Office notice froth the Secretary of War, Mr. Stimson, .noti­ fication that all this land in Greene county and elsewhere iiLthe state is owned by the government and out from under control of the State of Ohio and no part considered'as such. The only exception the government * has given the state is for service in case of a felony committed, and for civil action service from’ Ohio courts. There is on file with James J. Cur- lett, county auditor, notification from the department of taxation under' the Advocate General’s Department in Washington, that residents of those who reside on government lands can- npt be taxed for personal property in their possession.
