CostsOnlySixCents,SurveySljpws ' Tlii# is the tenth of a series of articles that will appear each week In thi# newspaper dealing with Ohio’s problem of increasing insanity. These articles are, spon­ sored by the Ohio Association for the Welfare of the Mentally Sick; ^ which has but orie .objective;'" iiamely, more scientific and more • humane treatment of mentally .sick .patients in state hospitals and thg, rapid rehabilitation of these unfortunates. >c >c >c Ic The Ohio Association for the Wel­ fare of the Mentally Sick has care­ fully Investigated- all phases of the trec/tment accorded the average pa­ tient in many institutions for the care o f the mentally sick and has come to pome very definite conclus­ ions. . In the first place this association has discovered that there are two dia- tinct ways of looking at this problem. First, that the hospitals should he Conducted as asylums, copied after our county poor farms with little if any attempt to give the patients any physical attention; and second, that the hospitals should be modern in •very particular^ giving each patient the benefit of every improved scien­ tific treatment that might tend to restore mental health to normal or as aearli so as possible. THE PRESENT METHOD A description of the present day Method# o f treatment in the average hospital for the insane Will be a de#- ♦riptkm of the treatment advised by the older school o f thought. It repre­ sents merely asylum methods. The treatment given is cortspioolis by its absence. For the-mentally disturbed patient the lodge or cell is provided, A lodge er cell Is a room with a wood m floor, cement covered walla and a high ceiling with a light therein the teen-barred window is further rein­ forced by a heavy oaken shutter that is pierced in many places With gim­ let holes to admit Mr, There is no no bed, merely a straw Matrass thrown in one earner. The disturbed patient is shoved into this tnota clothed only'in a "strong suit”. His food is shoved into him in a heavy Utt aeutotoor.

OPIATES ARE GIVEN After a time the patient either be­ gins to improve so that he can he alien out of the lodge or dies of ex- laustion.. Opiates are often given in fairly large doses hut seem to have out little effect. If the patient im­ proves he is permitted out on the day hall. His clothes are restored to lim and he is. permitted to Cot with other patients in the main dining room. If he continues' to improve and re­ covers sufficient mentally as to be able to do things fairly well, he ia given a job on the farm or in a labor detail mid continues on in this em­ ployment until another disturbed period occurs when the lodge treat­ ment is Tehested. Te food is invariably poor in qual­ ity and quantity. A survey o f nine states shows that the average meal cost the state six and two-thirds cents. It takes no great stretch Of imagination for the average house­ wife to appreciate that delicacies can not he introduced into a diet that cost so little. Thl# amount is thirteen and one-third cents less than that allow­ ed a federal prisoner In the county jail, HANDLING THE FOOD The manner in which the food is prepared and served is most Unsatis­ factory.

Inequalities in the operation of the tariff have probably helped to bring this situation about. National legia- ation. arid organization' are the only answers to any such inequalities, But most of .the factors in the situation constitute » \challenge to farmers themselves to improve their position, Mr, Lincoln called attention to a number of factors in the agricultural situation which he believe* can only be improved by farmers themselves. Further development of cooperative marketing, he says, will increase the percentage of the Consumer's dollar received by the producer and improve the marketing situation in general, Organization can have considerable affect on stich cost factor# as can be reduced through Co-operative pur­ chasing. Financial plan* must bo de­ veloped which wfii come closet to fit­ ting th# needs o f the fanning busi­ ness. Taxes can bo actually reduced, and better distributed giving agri­ culture a fairer chance and reducing oVehead expenses. The flrttlity of m t farms, is being depleted at the rate of about ¥400,- 000,000 annually , according to Mt. Mr, Lincoln. Evidently famen are not getting aufftotowf return to main­ tain their agricultural plants includ­ ing building repair and Other*mainte­ nance.

KINGSBURY TAlKS TO BOY SCOUTS MONDAY Scoutmaster Robert Kingsbuty of Xenia with a delegation of his scouts paid a visit Monday evening to the local-scouts. Mr. Kingsbury gave-a splendid talk along scant lines to the ' hoys which was highly "‘'appreciated- . The. proposed bill in the Ohio legislature t » increase the gasoline tax one and possibly two Cents a gallon is not meeting with public favor. There is going to be no way that the law makers can sugar coat the ,dose and make the public like it. It makes no difference who you ask, the auto owner in the city! or the aUto owner in the rural sections, both are opposing the proposed increase. You may ask Mr- Average Citizen wha his views are and he will tell you its time to atop increasing taxes of all kinds,, Ohio motorists are now paying more than 1,000,000 dol­ lars a moiith in gasoline taxes under the two cent law passed two years ago. This tax.is far more than was ever anticipated when the law was passed. The, tax spenders see an easy way to collect more money and you have the proposed hill to in­ crease the two cent tax to three or four cents a gallon on gas­ oline to motorists. ’ • - We have interviewed many farmers on this, tax increase and not a single one has favored it in any way. The proposal fco use this tax to build roads as well as keep thfent in repair is not meeting approval fo r the reason that hundreds o f land Owners are now paying their share o f road construction by the assessment plan, or have already paid-out. The /cld not favor building roads in some other county free for land owners that have as yet paid nothing The public should have some say about this proposed in­ crease in gasoline tax. The motorist should have a word. The fellow that owns no gasoline propelled vehicle has a right also to a voice for the higher transportation costs are the higher the commodity he uses will cost. The legislature if determined to pass this proposed law should at least let the public have a say through the referendum. The legislature can If it cares call it an “ emergency” measure and prohibit the public from having a voice. In that case the legislature will be telling the public What to take—and make them like it whether they want it or not, * „ i The Greene County Automobile Club has gone on record as opposing any change in the gasoline tax law. This organi­ zation has about 1,000 members. It represents all classes of citizens in the county, farmers, manufacturers, bankers, busi­ nessmen, laborers and clerks. The organization will also have the moral support of several hundred automobile owners Who are not members of the club. During the last campaign the Republicans made many promises to the electorate for a reduction in the cost o f state government. Candidate Myers Y» Cooper as the party nomi­ nee pledged his support. The Republican administration in Washington, D. G , is making good under President Coolidge in cutting the cost of government. Great reductions have been made in various forms of taxes sought by the federal govern­ ment, The Republicans in Ohio failed to elect their candidate for governor. The party controls both branches o f the state legislature. The party cannot hope to hold the nominal sup­ port of the party by making campaign promises such as was made through the party platform, aa well as on and o f f the stump by continually piling up state taxes. It is going to be a sad day for the party to break pledge* such as were made during the past campaign. The Republi­ cans have only elected two Republican candidates for governor in about twenty years, What the party leaders do at Columbus during the present legislative session is going to have more of a bearing two years hence than ever before. The public has a right to be weary of the taxation load in this state and will not forget campaign promises that are broken. When money k plentiful the public cates little for taxes or anything else- The economic condition in the rural sections o f Ohio are not prom­ ising to say the least. There is unrest over the state. The urban dweller has had his fill and now listens with soma degree o f reason. It is not going to be healthy for the Republican party to shoulder the responsibility o f an increase in the gwielint tax in Ohio,
