A COMMUNITY CAN PROSPER ONLY BY THE SUPPORT OF ITS PEOPLE FORTY-SECOND YEAR NO.^L CEDARVILLE, QSpO, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1919 PRICE, $1.50 A|YEAR COMPLIMENT PAID O. E, BRAD­ FUTE IN O. S. JOURNAL. ’“'Mary E, Lae, o f Westerville, 0 ., a press writer o f considerable note pays affine compliment to O. E. Bradfute in a recent communication to the Ohio State Journal as follows: ‘'The press reports that Ohio State Orange has called a convention o f farmers’ organizations and labor un­ ions to oppose classification o f prop­ erty fo r purposes o f taxation- It is no new thing for this group o f grangers to oppose classification and t^ere Are now in control of the Grange. I have attended 20 annua': sessions o f State Grange afid while the question has been up fo r discus­ sion, I have no recollection o f its be­ ing debated ah hour's time at any one session. This profound and intricate question deserves debate -and clear jdiscussion. Assertions' were many, the Usual ones being that gijeat wealth was trying to lay the burden o fta x a . tipn on farmers and that single tax was the ultimate aim o f classification, . There is -a divided sentiment in the Grange and among farmers, hut the' State Grange adopted a resolution, o f opposition. We have a, form o f clae sification now. Several years ago pub­ lic bonds’ were exempted and last yedr mortgages were put in a* sep­ arate class. So fa r what classifica­ tion we have has come by the way o f exemptions. Whenever a class ol property gets enough supporters tc put it in .a favored class it goes be. fore the people and gets off in a. class; by itself. This. o f course, places a heavier load on the more unfortunate classes of. property that are widely diffused to ‘get popular support at the polls, What advocates o f classi­ fication want is not exemption o f fav- oredclasses o f property but an adjust ment o f the burdens o f taxation that they may bems equally distributed as possible. State Grange confronts a different proposition this year than formerly. I t ’ once.was that* the Grange was looked to as the one authentic source ,of information on farm viewpoint, and its dominition .in agricultlral affairs was unquestioned. But in time farmers began coming to Col­ umbus, not' as delegates a t . the ex­ pense o f . an organization and there­ fore practically controlled by the men In office. They paid their own ex­ penses and were ' an upstanding lot who thought clearly . and . spoke .di­ re ctly /' Mattering*: of..the need o f an­ other ’farm organization were heard. Some efforts were" made at organiza­ tion, but as' long sb the Grange was so tremendously powerful they died “ abornin.” With the advent o f the county agent .supported largely by public funds same the farm bureaus, It was a. Napoleonic stroke o f these forces supported by public funds, to have the supporting organization in the hands o f actual farmers. It was Wisdom incomparable with,any shown in recent years o f organization move­ ments to place ‘ at the head o f the State Federation- o f . Bureaus that princely figure in agriculture,. 0 . E. Bradfute o f Xenia, O. College bred wealthy, o f imposing appearance, a trained thinker, a scholarly speaker, Mr; Bradfute commends himself to any conference or audience. He would grace his country if sent to the Court o f St. James. He is a tower of strength where strength is needed and . will ye t more be needed before the organization game is over and', the spokesmanship o f agriculture finally established. Then the very powerful .dairymen’s organization, similar in character to the fru it growers’ organization of California are growing over the state. Composed o f hard headed business farmers who will not tolerate the use o f the organization to gain political glory or personal advantage, these tnen are not sWayed by >the appeals Usually made to farmers, These are the active and influential men ita agri culture who ask o f a speaker before their bodies, “ Is that true ? Why do you leave your business to come to us unless you are well sustained with or gUment? Have you made such a finan- d a l success in life, that you are a safe advisor on purely, fiscal affairs?” The other organizations will not be apt to take any official part in the discussion, hut it is hardly within the bounds o f reason that so many substantial, influential men o f affairs woudd meet frequently without dis­ cussing, quietly among themselves so profound a question as taxation. It iS equally improbable that they will be swayed by the appeals but that are usually made to influence the farm vote. While iftm e ta are receiving the lowest wage fo r their labor ajid the smallest profit on thiir investment o f any other industry, still thsy iso getting mors money than before. There are farmers in every commun. ity o f upstaading character and clear thinking who Will have to have more than assertions to prejudice them and A is to this class o f clear thinking ‘ men that'advocates e l classification must make,their‘appeal. The M agi about “ unlimited funds at disposal o f advocates o f classification” will have g tendency to create respect fo r proposition that ha# the merit to win the support o f successful men.” HI a %I ft o f * f e ; - M 1OHIOCLEANINGSI Here Is a Company That Looks W e ll And That Sings as W e ll as You’ll want to be in your seat on the afternon of the opening day or you will miss one of the best programs of 'Chautauqua.
