parlors by Mrs. Henry Orugle, Mrs.

ments were served.
FIGURE8    SHOW    VILLAGE TO BE
IN  BAD 8TATE OF CONDITION
FOR FINANCES—LAW PREVENTS   THE    BORROWING
OF  MONEY TO MEET
EXPENSES.
The Voters of Amherst are askcel
to study the financial condition of the
village before voting for or against
the two mill tax levy, which the council has deemed It necessary to put be-
for the people for a vote next Tuesday.
The clerk of the council hus compiled the following figures, which are
well worth while reading.
Funds

554.41
Cemetery
554.53
250.42
Total $14,095.54 $6,890.94
From the above figures. It can readily be seen that the amount the county
is allowing the village is inadequate
to meet the expenses of the village.
Because the Orlswold act ot congress,
prohibits municipalities from borrowing money to meet deficiencies, the
only way to raise the money is by a
tux levy.
Here are a few questions:
Do you want to live in u town where
there is no police protection?
Do you want to live in a town where
there Is no protection against tire?
Do you want to discontinue improv-
menta?
Do you want to let the present im
provemente go  to  ru-P»V
DO YOU WANT ^TO SHUT UP
TOUR TOWN?
It is a sure thing that no citizen
with the interests of his town at heart
would vote against the only issue* that
the village can offer to keep the town
ln an operating condition.
Mr. Voter, you are requested to give
th • matter your best consideration anil
when you go to the polls to vote, use
the Judgment of a real citizen.

STATE SCHOOL BOARD
AGANIST AMENDMENT
The executive committee of the Ohio
Slate Association of School Boards
has voted unanimously tor a resolution opposing the proposed tax amendment to the Ohio constitution which
goeB to the voters in the November
election,
Similar resolutions, asking tbat
the proposed amendment be killed,
have been adopted by the legislative
commltte of the Ohio State Teachers'
Associution and by the Ohio branch
of the Congress ot Mothers uud Parent-Teacher association,
The Ohio State Association of
School Boards gives four reasons for
voting "No" on the proposed tax
amendment:
1. It provides a tax limitation which.
In the judgment of the executive committee of the association, should not
be in the organic law of the state.
2. The passage of the amendment
would prevent a pay-as-you-go policy
and defeat home rule In taxation,
3. The proposition Is undemocratic
In that it gives undue weight to negative votes and prevents a clear majority of the people, of less thun two
thirds, from determining the educational policy of the district.
4. The passage of the amendment
would cause the present state levy of
2.65 mills to disappear as a special
school tax, with uo guarantee of funds
to  the school.
Bourd of Educution, teachers and
parents are asked to vote against the
proposed amendment.
