FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1919 Hlw man who hwitatsw is bowed.

THE TAX QUESTION, The merchant that keeps advertising always has to keep up his stock, up good work to When a man asks you what you think of him he doesn’t expect to get your real opinion , A well known farmer, who owns several hundred acres of land, stated the other day th a t he expected to see more forms of taxes levied on the people o f the state this coming year than ever before* Land valueB will be increased on the tax duplicate and various other means resorted to for taxes. Unless farmers demand of their representative that _the le g is ­ lature retain the one per cent tax law and make some effort to abolish’ useless positions so that cities,t owns and school districts can live on the present tax return, farm land and all town property are going to carry the burden of the load,' Advertisingj a the axle-grease that makes the whe'els of business turn easily and profitably. WORKED EATHER THAN SUFFER There should bo a sign displayed in each house of the legislature reading: '“Live within your income” which a t th is time should be a warning to the tax’spenders. A report is going>the-rounds of the press that freight rates are to. be in­ creased again by the government. An­ other salary raise is due one of the .unions we suppose. -In as much as Xenia has a revival meeting we suppose the municipal ownership of the water works and the , awning question are shelved a t least -p a rt of the time each day. > I f the railroads are operated five more years by th e government as Me Adoo has asked; there will be nothing left of them to return to ‘ the owners a t the end of that time . We are very thankful that-we never had aspi rations to be a meat packer, otherwise we might have to stand for the same grilling that is handed out almost daily by congress to the meat ''Combine*''’"- '■■" ■ ■■'’■" We heard of a lady who suffered with the earache the other n igh t., She could not sleep and the pain was most annoying; Along about the wee small hours, when she became convinced that rest was out of the question, she calmly a- rose and dressed, Then she lit the lire nd proceeded to do her week's wash­ ing, She found more comfort in working than in tossing inbed, and. af­ ter breakfast when the pain had de­ creased,. she went to bed with the added - satisfaction of having her work done on time. Few women would have the determ­ ination to follow this lady’s example. Most of us, male or female, 'Would have tossed and groaned and had the family up filling hot water bottles and waiting, on us. . . It is a great thing to have nerve ind self-possession and determination and we admire the lady’s course be­ yond expression. She will be. greatly surprised to see her experience publicly ^commented upon and, we fear, may not be, pleas­ ed, but as we promise to keep her i- dentity secret, perhaps she won’t stop her paper. HOW MANY EVER DID? The railroad management under the control of the government may have raised a lot of men’s wages but what does that smount to when the men are lqid off a s was the case this week. Hundreds oh this line were retired as business has fallen o ff.' . . ", > 'v Who is there th a t would not sell a business th a t had not earned a divi­ dend in four years’. That’s the situ-, atom in Xenia with -the water com­ pany. No Wonder the company wants to sell, the real wonder"is th a t the city would want to purchase. ' Germany poisoned Russia and spread bolshevik propaganda to weak­ en her as one of the alies , Now that the chickens have come home to roost we would suggest th a t the red .torch crowd he allowed their own way in Berlin for the next Bix months. After an experience with tha t element the Hun may have a longing for real peace. . We are glad to see the Democratic powers down in Washington raise alt the wages of the railroad employees, •telephone and telegraph operators and ■ linemen and then rise the rates for - freight, express, telegrams and tele phones to meet this expense. We are glad to see all these people get higher wages but the government like cities with municipal ownership enterprises never figures on the capital invested as the private company must do. The recent ruling of having to pay a fee on a telephone call whether you get your party or not will only, convince the public that public ownership is a farce but that reasonable regulation will be profitable to the company and public service patron as well. We were discussing .an important question several days ago with, a for mer representative of the Ohio legis- iaturefrom a neighboring, county dur­ ing which conversation our friend, re­ marked that the legislature was noth mg more than what the people make of the state , make it. The people seem to have the idea that a lt that is necessary is to elect some man to this responsible position and let it drop a t that. Ohio has numerous laws th a t are of little value and scores of laws th a t are not worth enforcing, all passed be­ cause some legislator Jmd toe idea 3uch was. necesary. Had the people given him their views when these bills Are pending hundreds of laws would he defeated or passed as the majority de­ mands. This former legislator stated that in two terms, fours, he had but 3ix letters from his constituency rel­ ative to legislative-matters. Scores of letters from job apd office Beekers were Were received. Many bills are now before the leg­ islature that will require the appoint­ ment of men to high salaried offices that will go to some politician for the average citizen never has a chance a t the public tea t unless he has-had a plunge in the political pool. If you think more places should be created a t the expense of the tax pay­ ers, write your representative or sen­ ator and say so, If you are opposed to such or think some of the present' laws should be repealed as a matter of economy, be frank and tell your representative in plain terms. He will not be offended, in fact if he is honest and sincere in the work you have chos­ en for him he will be guided by the sentiment you or the majority express Not a Cheap Sale, But Regular Price <• 24 1-2 lb.
