BECAUSE" MOST
DISTINCTIVE
Sentiment sometimes dictates a
name, and In the selection of a title
for the consolidation of The Logan
Natural Cus and Fuel Company and
alfl Hated companies sentiment suggested a retention of the work "Logan'*
and coupled with Its distinctiveness
and long use makes it the logical
chloce.
While the name The Buckeye Qas
Company was at flrst contemplated,
Investigation developed the fact that
at least one other natural gas company
In tlm state carries a substantially
similar name, while a large number of
Ohio corporations employ "Buckeye"
in their title. The name of "Logan"
has become so well known through
mure than twenty years of operation
thai the management has decided that
the best Interests of tbe business and
its patrons will be better subserved by
retaining it, therefore the new organization will be known as The Logan
Gas Company.
The proposed re-organization will
io awuy with needless complication ln-
udent to the operation of nine different corporations previously existing
md will leave the ownership of the
properties of these companies uninfect •
-id; and the management will be ln
ne hands of the same persons as at
-resent; and the buslnes will go on
tn tie as the public is concerned wlth-
uut any change in operating conditions
whatsoever, the new company continuing the policies and carrying out
the obllbations of the several coin
panics.

STATE ASSOCIATION
AGAINST PROPOSED
GASOLINE TAX
COLUMBUS. O., January 3, What
Is taken to reflect the true Bentiiiieut
of tbe American Automobile Association favoring a tax on gasoline is contained In a statement made by A. H.
Flebach, Secretary of the Clevelund
Motor Club—an organization recently established In that city—a tew days
ago advocating the placing of this
additional burden on the owners of
automobiles In Ohio.
Flebach Is one of u committee appointed by the A. A. A. to investigate
tbe proposal of such a tux and is
now attempting to fuvor the proposed
gasoline tax ln Ohio which is strongly opposed by the motorists In general
in the state.
The sixty-eight automobile clubs
affiliated with The Ohio Automobile
Association, most of which were in the
stale organization when it withdrew
from the A. A. A. last May uud Joined
the National Motorist Association, ure
at a loss to understand the reverse
position of the old national organization which in Its palmy days was a
vigorous opponent of a tax on gusoline
used by the motorists.
The sume arguments which It advanced for many years in opposition to
a tax ot this character hold good to
day and why the change of heart at
tbls time bus as yet to be explained.
Tbe subject of taxing the motorists
of Ohio on the gasoline they consume
In addition to the horsepower and
other taxes which they are paying on
their motor vehicles Is not a new one
Investigations whlcb have been made
of such a proposal by officers of The
Ohio State Automobile Association
during the past few years on each oc
casion it has been suggested to the
legislature, have shown conclusively
ln their opinion that a tax of this
kind is not only unfair und unjust,
but entirely unnecessary us well.
Acting ou the conclusions resulting from such investigations tbe state
association will exert every effort to
prevent the passage of any law by the
legislature at its coming session that
would Impose any additional burden
of tbls kind, unless provisions are
msde for the repeal of the horsepower
and the personal property taxes.
It Is no easy quest, this search
after the truth. Especially ln this day
of muny voices, conflicting reports aud
Judgments about those reports the
truth is u difficult matter to determine. Nevertheless we are all to do
the very best we can with the facts
ut our disposal; angels can do no more.
No one of us possess ull the truth;
not one but Is subject to error. The
truth is the resultant from two or
more men setting forth their convictions the best they can, backed up
by such facts as they know.
Abraham Lincoln, our great American,
has shown us the spirit in which this
quest must be made: "With malice toward none, with charity for all: with
firmness In the right as God gives us
to see the right." ,
lu the limits Tit this article I cannot deal with all the objections raised
by Mr. Eastman lu last week's issue
News-Times. One item only can be
discussed today, though that one may
Include some others. I want to consider the main assumption tbat seems
to me to underlie the thought lnthe article In question. It is the assump
tlon of the general salntllness of America, with indeed a few Isolated but
unrelated exceptions; and the general
wickedness of other states—Just now
the supreme wickedness of Germany,
which state happened to be our principal enemy in Uie late war. "It is
very easy to brand a nation, an organisation, or even a friend, Pagan' because he does not hold the same
view tbat we do." Very true. But is
not that Just our crime against the
German nation? We have branded
Germany "pagan" because she did
not hold tbe ssme views as we; but we
did not merely brand her as "pagan",
but we pre*, ceded to kill the "pagan"
I submit that if the Non-Pacifist were
a Frenchman with such views he would
feel that France were the saint and the
other nations barbarian—If an Englishman slmllary; und if he were a
German iu Germany be would feel
equally that Germany were the salut
and other states the "pagan", especially those that happened to be- on the
enemy side ln a war. The Pacifist
does not contend that Germany Is a
saint; far from it. He simply says.
"We can't stop war with more war."
If our recent war had made leas.llkaly
between states, there might be some
appurent Justification for war: but
as a matter of tact tbere was never
so much preparation for war, even ou
the part of the United States, as there
was following the defeat of Germany.
Thanks to pacifist opinion and pressure brought to bear upon the government the war preparation craze was
limited a bit in American, Hut behold
they are closer to war today than they
were before the outbreak of the recent
wur; iu spirit they are ready to fly at
each other's throats; the lack only mo-
ueyand munitions. And England and
France barely escaped a war with
each other over the Near East question. And only the strong protest of
British Labor prevented England
waging war on Russia about u yeur
ago. It looks very much as though
the Great War had Increased wurs ru
ther than lessened them. Certainly
the war spirit is more ubroad in the
world than It was.
Tbe Non-Pacifist assumes that America had Just cause for war with
Germany, and refers to Germany's sub-
mabrine warfare and her rape of Bel
gium as such cause. Had ba read, I
wonder, or recalled the war motives
us set forth by our government at the
time? If so he will know that German terrorism In Belguim was not
part of the causes cited at the time in
government documents; it was simply
au afterthought. Included by Mr. Wilson later as war objectives. It was
good propaganda, well calculated to
idealize the war—It sounded better
than the truly commercial cause of
ot the loss of property due to submarines. And has our Non Pacifist
friend considered the relative destruction of American property by England
and by Germany during the war? If
he has he will know that the United
States hud more cause for war with
England thau with Germany on that
score. And further. America went
into the war ostensibly pledged to the
preservation ot the rights ot neutrals.
Presumably we would show the other
warring nations that were trampling
