Tor years the school levy has been a permanent fixture in this state,
in order to keep the school system free of political manipulation, and it is
this very school levy that has been reduced by this rubber stamp special
session of the governor, and from n ow on the schools of the state will be
thrown into the maelstrom or politics."
This is only a spoonful of the mush ladeled out by Hon. Frank
E." Willis's press agent at Sandusky. -It is unthinkable that a
statesman measuring over six feet in heighth and having a very
bud voice would ever say such a thing. In 1902 Mr. Willis was
the rubber stamp used by Governor Nash to impose taxes upon
the industries of Ohio. He obediently introduced and unconi
plimentingly voted for the law bearing his name which levies a
percentage tax upon every share of stock in, the. State.- No one
believes that Mr. Willis would be indiscreet enough to say any
thing about rubber stamp laws, especially the modern kind which
take off instead of putting on taxes. The press agent did it,
sorely.
As for the school levy ,it is wagered with a large red apple a:
the forfeit, that Mr, Willis cannot off-hand tell what the levy
was in 1902 when he voted to fix it for the ensuing year or what
it was at any time while he was a member of the General As
sembly.' The school levy is NOT a permanent fixture because it
is based upon the fluctuating enumeration of school children in
Ohio. It is also measured by the tax duplicate of the State and
after 1910, when the Democrate put into effect the one per cent
law, it was cut down from one mill to .335 of a mill. Even the
capitation tax is not fixed. It has gone up from $1.50 to $2.
since Willis became of age and may go down or up according to
public sentiment. Nor will the reduction of the levy bring the
schools into the "maelstrom of politics". Even legislators as in
dependent and as free from bossism as Mr. Willis would not dare
to vote against giving the schools sufficient funds to run them
properly. Last of all, it is everywhere believed that Mr. Willis
does not know what a maelstrom is and is betting his 25 to 1 that
he never saw one, even unconsciously.

As an evidence of the thoroughnest
; and watchfulness with which the state
administration endeavoring to re
duce the burden of taxes throughout
the state, the following gleaned fron
a communication received by Audito:
Garver from State Auditor Donahej
will be of interest
- For instance, on May 4 of the pres
ent year, the state department certi
fied to Auditor Garver the state levy
as follows: For Sinking Fund, .0331
mills; University Fund, .0925 mills;
State Common School Fund, .335
mills; State Highway Improvement
Fund, .500 mills; total, .961 mills. A
month later another letter from the
state department directed that those
levies be held in abeyance, 83 Gov.
Cox was about to take up with the
Attorney General the matter oi
amending them with a view to mak
ing a reduction, if possib'e.
On July 20, the Governor convenec
the General Assembly in extraordin
ary session and reduced the state lev
for a'l purposes .511 mills.
Thereupon Auditor Garver was pro
vided with the following new levy,
which should be carefully compared
with the previous one and reflected
upon: Sinking Fund, .0025 mills; Un
iversity Fund, .0925 mills; State Com
mon School Fund, .055 mills; State
Hiehway Improvement Fund, .300
mills; total, .45 mills.
. 'Thus it will be observed that a de
cided reduction in the State Common
School levy has been made. By this
change Medina county wi'l be relieved
of almost the entire direct tax for
common- school purposes, but no re
duction will be made in the usual al
lowance by the state of two dollars
for every youth of school age, be
tween the ages of six and twenty-one
in the county, and state aid to weak
school districts will be tUowed as
heretofore.
The, total state levy has been cut
over FIFTY-THREE percent and is
now lower than ever before in the his
tary of the state. All this is made
possible by the increase in the grand
duplicate of the state, and the large
balance in the state General Revenue
Fund, and any deficiency in other
funds will be met by transfers from
this fund. : ' ,
