Book Description

Excerpt from Financial History of Ohio This work was begun some years ago at Oberlin Col lege; laid aside for more pressing duties, it has since been carried to completion, at odd intervals and for the most part at a distance from Ohio. For some of the short comings this may be held responsible. It is based almost exclusively upon official sources; these had remained prae tically unused in other publications relating to the state, and upon the latter therefore little reliance has been placed. In the present monograph two chapters, dealing respec tively with Internal Improvements and Local Finance, were omitted because of limitations of space; but it is hoped they may be published at some future time. A History of the State Debt of Ohio has already appeared in the Journal of Political Economy, April, May, June, 1911. Thanks are due the editor of the American Economic Review for permission to reprint part of an article entitled Recent Economic Reforms in Ohio, which appeared in September, 1911; and to the editor of the American His torical Review, for permission to reprint a part of the article Taxation of the Second Bank of the United States by Ohio, which appeared in January, 1912.
