Youngstown, Ohio, Nov. 9. A man who has lived in
Youngstown but three months and whose platform pro
vided for discontinuance of street car service, turning the
streets over to jitney buses and for jailing any citizen who
paid taxes under a recent re-valuation, was elected yes
terday mayor over candidates backed by the major party
organizations. He is George L. Oles, who came in from
the country, established a residence in a hotel and carried
on an eccentric advertising campaign without the support
of any particular element or organization.
u Other "planks" in Oles' platform included permitting
"spooning" in city parks under police protection, dismiss
ing the entire police force if it "doesn't mend its ways" and
a promise to turn over his salary to charity.
The women's vote is believed to have been responsible
for Oles' election.

RETURN TO
BOURBONS
VALIDITY OF
SPECIAL ROAD
TAX AT ISSUE
Validity of the special road taxes voted by 29 out of 38
road districts in Marion county at special elections last Sat
urday is in question and it is entirely possible that all of the
elections will have to be held again if the taxes voted are to
be realized, it became known today.
The taxes voted Saturday by the 29 districts total
$54,331.56.
Failure of the road districts to comply with the provisions
of the budget law passed by the last legislature, and which is
giving trouble to road districts all over the state, is to be
blamed for the present predicament in which the districts
find themselves.
The law provides that before a 1 "
road district can levy a special tax
it must hold a budget meeting at
which it is decided what roads'
I are to be Improved and what
amount of money is to be voted.
Permission must then be Becured
