FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1025 THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH Many there are no doubt that took 1 time to read I resident Coolidge'a ad -1 dress to Congress, The very clasa that | so frequently overlooks state papers is the very one that should be more interested in what the Executive has to say. Ih our rush we fail to keep in dose enough touch ‘ with state and national affairs. The Coolidge address was typical of the President. I t represented and did present some clear’, safe and conser­ vative views on problems before the present -Congress. There’is indication that the present bedy will enact some of these views into law-, There will be repeals of some laws that are out of place. One will he the, repeal of the federal inheritance tax law. This law never represented anything hut a wild Socialistic view of robbing the estate of one who during life had been pro­ gressive and thrifty, and when, dead his estate was penalised for having left something for his widow o r his children or relatives. ■Ohio should repeal the state in­ heritance tax. There is no place for it among honest sober thinking men. The inheritance tax idea came from politicians who wanted more revenue for public officials to spend. President Coolidge is to ha com mended for urging the repeal of the inheritance tax law.

The defendent was freed of course, a custom that has prevailed for a century a t least. A day or so later the attorney for the state filed a petition asking that the jury verdict be set aside on- tin grounds of new found evidence. The idea was a new one ih court procedure not only in this county but attorneys in adjoining counties, are making sport of the new idea that originated in this county. The attorneys for the defendent answered' by citing thf court to the constitution and- the bi’ Of rights. They ate hoping that th ?ase can reach the Supreme Court. Just a few weeks ago the Supreme Court Sent a case hack for retrial ir P ^b le county,,, A law violator had been denied legal counsel in » mayor's 'court, The mayor considered the fel­ low guilty and proceeded to have the sentence enforced wheh another caari held otherwise.' The constitution is nothing more than a scrap of paper with a dialogue lawyer whose only object is to grand­ stand the publid for political effect. Even though attorneys and courts in adjoining counties are heaping ridicule a t Greene We hope the ques­ tion readies the highest court. LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT A plea against surrender of local government to federal authorities was made by Secretary Hoover in an ad­ dress to the National Association of Railroad and Utilities Commissioners at Washington, D, C, He said; “Our government was devised in spirit to sustain a duel purpose—to protect our people among nations by a great national power and to pre­ serve individual freedom by local self government. “If we are to stretch the interstate commerce provision in the constitu­ tion to regulate all those things that pass state lines we shall automatic­ ally absorb to federal authority most of the government tha t lies within state lines, because our economic life has become so enmeshed that there is no longer that easy conception of our forefathers of what constituted in­ terstate .commerce. If we do not re­ sist this extension, what becomes, of that fundamental freedom and inde­ pendence that can rise only from self- government?" What the Secretary says of conditions in reference to federal'and state con­ trol. is true of state and local muni­ cipal control. By the lobby power in our legislatures utility interests have had all power taken from county com- lniosionerS' township trustees, village aittl city councils over control of con­ ditions in common between the utili­ ties and the patrons. One can readily j sec how the uitlity hitei'ests that want ; to take, advantage o* the cousaau-r i Hu do no by keeping a tight line on members of the public utility commis­ sion, In Ohio not an expert sits on the utility commission. Each member is .& politician and earrys no other recommendation qualifying him f o r ' the trust that was imposed on him. DR. 0 , P, ELIAS. Dentist Bhrodea Bldg. Cedarville, 0 .
