PROHIBITION AT s t a k e CLASSIFICATION— TAX VALUES JLesaon f o r F e b r u a r y 2 8 It makes no (inference what our in- ‘ The farm owners as well r.s the dividual views are it cannot be denied home owners in Ohio are face to face that prohibition Is passing a critical with another light against clasmfi- atage at this time. The moral o f the cation o f property for taxation an public for prohibition, is. nothing what .directed by Robert Taft, the imperial it was a few year* ago. The situation is not so alarming that prohibition is likely to be lest to the element that is responsible fo r the eighteenth amendment, but the fact cannot be denied that law en­ forcement, such as we have been hav­ ing in this state, has brought disgust to dry supporters. It has placed a weapon in the hands o f the liberal ele dictator o f the Ohio legislature. As matters stand these interests tnat have rejected classification eleven times in about three times that many years will soon find that the enemy has surrounded them. The law requires that such “organ­ izations must tile an expense account. Such has not been done. Congressman Brand charged that it cost $1,000,000 ment and the question, o f changing Ifor tho classification ptogx’am in the the law is being kept before tho pub- last campaign. lie as never before. There are two elements that have been the basis o f the present situation. One is that the issue is being used for the political benefit o f politicians. The other is that the profits fo r those engaged in the business are so enor- mus that where one violator is caught another seems willing to take his chances. . Events the past few weeks in this state have proven that we have not the right class o f men that can he depended upon to enforce this law. Enforcement officers are reaping a very rich harvest in providing protection to favored bootleggers. There seems to he no plan laid out, "While no expense account has been filed it has been discovered that funds from the Ohio state treasury were used to put classification in effect. It came from the Committee ,on Economy ami Taxation, a joint body o f members from the Ohio Senate and tho House. The statement makes good reading and should be o f interest. Appropriated by legislature, $3,000. Transferred from Emergency fund, $1,000; transferred from Emergency fund, $2,553.11; transferred from, the Printing Account, §2,000. Total $S,533. This committee on Economy, mind the term, “ Economy” spent several thousand dollars more than the Leg­ islature voted it. And the public press if so it is one that is ineffective, to 'te lls us that two state officials say land the big guns that are reaping big profits. It is the little fellows that are caught. Methods used in enforcing the law to capture the small fellows has hrot a storm o f protests, over 1the state. Hpmes*have been entered wheye there was no evidence what ever that the law was being violated. Motorists of the best reputation have been subject­ ed to rough treatment on the high­ ways by prohibition agents. It is the earnest belief o f many that these of­ ficers, -drawing . salaries from the state, have been bribed to make such attacks and use such methods to so stir the .people that public sentiment will swing back. I t is safe to say that rio progress can be expected with the methods now the state will be broke by July, 1926: The farmers have reason to weigh every statement that comes from the FaTm Bureau and the State Grange on matters o f taxation. Many o f these leaders have betrayed the farm inter­ ests in the hope o f having themselves attached, to a state job at a handsome salary. The next campaign will probably settle classification, although.' little ‘‘Bobbie” Taft o f “ Zinzinnati” ' says the fight will continue until classifica­ tion is adopted, We now have a system o f classifi­ cation. A certain company goes be­ fo r e , the Ohio State Utilities Com­ mission and says it is worth $12,000- 000. The Utilities Commission grants it the right to charge patrons a rate being used. I f the prohibition, depart-J to earn ten or twelve per cent. The ment i? responsible fo r such rules, the public will never endorse-them. I f .i t is the purpose to Use sfich methods to attract public attention, and thus throw a cloak o f protection* around the big fellows, it is time to have a change. The sooner the better. The class o f men in the enforcement de­ partment that Ohio has today, is only forcing the public away from Jaw en­ forcement with disgust. A fair sample o f the kind o f men being put in responsible positions can be sighted in this county. Our “ Sack cloth and Ashes” State Sen­ ator, the head of. a party committee, recommended fo r a government posi­ tion not so many months ago, one of Xenia’s best known drunken sots* a reprobate without credit in court or out. This man secured this political job a t a handsome salary and expenses - and is one o f the kind that cannot be kept sober long enough to draw his pay. We understand he has since been dropped. He had neither the ability or the intention p f enforcing a single law. His craving appetite branded him a law violator and the complete fail request is granted. This'^ame"com­ pany then goes before the State Tax Commission and says it is worth $5,- 000,000 and this board fixes the value for tax at that amount. The Ohio Bell,Telephone Company by a sworn statement to the Public Utilities Commission places the valde o f its plant at $144,611,241.00. Phone rates are fixed On this amount to give the company a good profit. . The Bell Company is down for tax­ ation, as fixed by the State Tax com­ mission at $71,138,450.00* which is not 50 per cent o f the value o f the plant according to the company’s sworn statement to the Utilities Commission If the value o f farm land had been fixed on the same basis the past year it would be down fo r $10 an acre. •From the figures quoted above you can see how necessary it is to hold control o f the Ohio Senate. Ap­ pointments made by any governor must be confirmed by the Senate. These dompanies maintain a large and expensive lobby ‘ and finance certain candidates fo r their campaigns.

Pharisees and Herodians pro­ posed to entrap Jesus and bring Him Into conflict with the Roman govern* ment so they came1 to Him with a subtle question—“Is It lawful to' give tribute to Caesar or not?'* At this time the Jews were galling under, the yoke of the Roman government. Some oven denied the right to pay tribute to the government. To have answered this question yes or no would have involved dlflicul.ty.---To have answered yes would have conveyed the Impres­ sion of endorsement of ail that the' Reman government did. To have an swered no would have at once brougbi JHim Into, conflict with the govern ment Christ’s reply to this question properly understood and applied, Is die final word on the subject Until the civil authorities demand of .us that which Is a violation of God’s law, we are bound to render unto them obedience. “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s” means that within the realm of the right of gov­ ernment the Christian should yield glad and full obedience. “Render unto God the things that are God’s", means the highest obligation. Since enjoying His protection and care, It Is our duty t o .own all allegiance to Him, to yield our lives to Him In serv. ice, worship and praise: Everyone who enjoys the benefits o f Civil gov­ ernment is obliged to pay the taxes which are necessary for the support of that, government, and everyone who receives God’s favor is placed hi like obligation unto Him. II, The Great Commandment In the Law (vv. 34-40). 1. The First Commandment (vv 34-38). "Thou shalt love the Tord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind.” This means that supreme and undivided love to God la the first and great command­ ment. Man’s supreme obligation is to God.. It is wrong to evaluate man’s character on the basis o f .his morality as expressed in his relation to ids fellowm^n, Real righteousness is do ing the right thing with God. The greatest Immorality of which a man can be guilty Is,.his failure to respond' to the demands of God. The one who does not supremely and with Undl vlded affection love God Is the great est sinner. 2. The .Second Commandment (vv 39-40), The second commandment is like unto the first in that it centers in love. It is not said that It was equal unto the first; thnt would not he true. A man may. love himself, but not su­ premely. One’s love for bis neighbor may be either too much or too little. The measure set is love for self. . We should love God better than ourselves. He Is worthy o f all our affections,, and demands all. Love Is not mere emotion, bat a supreme desire for the welfare of another and u willingness to do everything possible to secure that end. The command to love our neighbor Is involved in the command to love God. To pretend to love God is folly tf we do not love our neigh­ bor. To attempt to establish a broth­ erhood among men without the recog­ nition of the fatherhood of God is utter nonsense. Men become children of God by faith in Jesus Christ It Is true that in the sense of being God’s creatures, all men are Go^’s children, but In the New Testament sense, men are only God’s children as they are in Christ. The only way to bring In tho brotherhood of man is to preach Jesus Christ to the race and secure acceptance of Hint. We thus become brothers in the real sense of the term when vye have God as otir B’athcr, All obligation resting upon matt is embraced (n these two com­ mandments, Those who conform their lives to them are God’s children and are the very best citizens. G o a n d C om e There la u mighty go In the gospel as well as come. It Is come, go. Go, preach and heal; go, home to thy friends’, go, Into the highways; go, In­ to all the world.
