TUBERCULOSIS
SANATORIUM
New Cases of Tuberculosis
The executive committee and the
district chairman of the Butler county
tuberculosis sanatorium committee
held a regular semi-weekly meeting
at their headquarters in the Rent
schler building in Hamilton, Monday
afternoon.
New plans were made to appeal to
the people of Butler county for the
support of the tuberculosis sanator
ium bond issue.
Mr. Joseph W. Fichter, Oxford,
County committee chairman, presided
in the absence of Mr. J. A. B. Lovett,
general chairman.
The committee discussed the tuber
culosis problem from the rural angle.
Mr. Fichter pointed out that the rural
section of the county has as much of
a tuberculosis problem- as the urban,
saying that an average of 17 people
per year have died from tuberculosis
in the rural sections in the past five
years. This is compared to an aver
age of 47 deaths per year in the cities.
"The average person believes," said
Mr. Fichter, "that farmers and rural
people are not as susceptable to tuber
culosis as are city dwellers. However,
this is not entirely true, because the
rural sections of Butler county have
about one-third of the population and
one-third of the tuberculosis deaths,
so that the problem is one for the
entire county."
A tuberculosis sanatorium is an as
set in many Ohio communities, the
committee says in its bulletin. Point
ing to 16 other Ohio counties who
maintain their own sanatariums. The
first county sanatorium was establish
ed in 1906 in Cuyahoga county, which
now has over 500 beds. The last
county to provide care was Tuscara
was with a new sanatorium in 1937.
The largest sanatorium in the state
is in Cincinnati, where there are 630
beds.
These 16 counties are progressing
each year in their battle against the
great white plague. While Butler
county, compared to the more pro
gressive counties is years behind.

fastly pursued by our City Council, a substantial
majority of whose members have always been men
selected and endorsed by The Charter Commission.
But today, the continuation of good government in
Hamilton is seriously threatened by the slot-machine
and policy rackets.
At several times during the past two years, when
public indignation at open flaunting of the law has be
come strong enough, these gambling devices have dis
appeared, but only to reappear in even greater num
bers. Today, the need and demand is for definite assur
ance of the COMPLETE and PERMANENT ELIMI
NATION of these rackets which take immense sums of
money from our children as well as adults without
rendering any service whatsoever, which injure Ham
ilton's reputation, and which tend inevitably to cast

Vital problems which used to be issues in our coun
cilmanic elections are happily settled now.
No longer does anyone dare to suggest selling our gas
and electric plants to private interests, or that we
return to the old political handling of the city's affairs,
with the "spoils" and patronage which went with it.
No longer is there active opposition to the well-proved
policy of employing a capable, professional city man
ager, without political ties or other entangling
alliances.
Is it any wonder—when the direct benefits secured
from 10 years of non-political handling of the city's
affairs by Council plus highly efficient management
are to be seen on all sides of us?
Constant reduction in per capita cost of operating our
general government great reduction in bonded debt
repeated lowering of gas and electric rates new
and better streets the new City Hall and Water Works
... a modern transportation system with universal 5c
fare improved fire-fighting equipment and police
protection.

stepped out of the Charter
Group because I did not see fit
to change the present condition
in Hamilton."
These published statements by two present members
of Council, both of whom were elected on the Charter
Ticket and who are now candidates for re-election,
endorsed by the Democratic organization, help to ex
plain the present situation.
Because of this situation The Charter Commission has
selected and endorsed seven candidates who believe
that good government cannot continue if the slot
machine and policy rackets are allowed to operate,
and who are pledged to and enthusiastically endorse
the following platform. All are well qualified—by
integrity and through civic, professional or business
experience—to help guide the affairs of the city. If
you believe in the things we stand for and they stand
for, we urge you to vote—in the order of your pref
erence—for ALL SEVEN.
THE CHARTER TICKET PLATFORM
1. Continuation of the policy of employing a capable,
professional city manager without political ties or other
entangling alliances.
2. Continuation of the successful ownership and opera
tion of our public utilities.
3. Continued operation of the city on an efficient, non
political basis, without spoils or patronage in any form.
4. WHOLE-HEARTED SUPPORT OF THE CITY MAN
AGER IN THE COMPLETE AND PERMANENT
ELIMINATION OF SLOT-MACHINE AND POLICY
RACKETS.
5. Suspension of rules and "emergency legislation" In
Council only when warranted by a real emergency.
