FRIDAY, MARCH 25,1927, T " WHO PAYS FOR GASOLINE T A X PUBLICITY The battle among big interests to escape taxation is now on in Columbus and the scene is under the dome j)f the capitol. It is a cisa of,no one wanting to pay ‘and everyone wanting to spend and the legislature to lean Which, ever way the most pressure is put, * , The road material and machinery interests as .well as the utility crowd has set about to force an additional cent on the gasoline tax making the tax three cents a gallon instead of two at present. The automobile clubs representing thousands of members in Ohip, as well as thousands of owners of automo­ biles, will oppose this programs There is good ground for this opposition. The automobile owner is to be made the goat and carry additional tax wh^n he now is overtaxed. An officer o f the State Automobile Associa­ tion has announced that if such a tax is added a referendum will be pulled and the Issue placed before the public, Once the public gets a chance to hit an increased tax, the result can al­ mas* be gussed* ’ Propaganda is.now going out from Columbus in support of the gasoline tax; Some one puts up good money to crusade in behalf of'the tax. Publicity departments do not work for the good o f any particular cause. This week we received from Claude C. Waltermire, Columbus; a publicity writer, what is . nothing more or less than an attack on the automobile interests because they oppose the tax.. This writer states that he does not believe the sentiment of the officers represent that of any considerable part,of the membership” Is Mr. Waltermire writ-’ ing in behalf of the automobilists of Ohio, or in «the interest of ^obe or more concerns whose interests are purely selfish? Mr. Waltermire,might be asked this question? Is it not>a fact that money paid into the state .by automobile and truck vowners was diverted to other funds than for road purposes to save the state’s credit when the legislature two years ago ap­ propriated more money for expenditure than the income of the state warranted?” ^ t The total revenue from motor vehicles for 1926 is given at $10,009,0001 The revenue from gasoline ,tax is placed, at $13,- 240,000, making a total of $23,240,000. Of this amount the State received /$10,63,000, the difference going to the various * taxing districts. The motor, buss, taxes imounted to $3.19,000 or a total to the. state of $11,083,000. The motor license revenue for 1927 with-a. 12 per cent nor­ mal increase added is placed at $11,200,000. The revenue to be collected from gasoline tax with ,a 12 per cent increase is estimated at $15,000,000, Total-$26,200,000. To this add the estimated revenue from motor busses, amounting to $262,000 and yoU have $26,462,000, tdbal. estimated revenue. 'Of this amount the state will'get $13,231,000, There was a balance in the state road fund on'January 1,1927 of $1,012,000 which-.added, to-above will give the state a total for 1927 of $14,250,000. And these figures are based/on the two cent tax To view4the situation from the angle b f disbursements we j foxe*, i i the p «i-p o « o i the oil fit to ‘ promote the t o t grplrth, end thereby i We thmk you w e quite rightJn sup, the vein* « f the writ end j plyinx Jsdehr* Oil on th*se n qm si-l p lw id , the CMt a ^ ^ ; tiftn* end m y o f the poultry people, but this i» * wetter eetirely different, otn get information on the subject j w you understand, end applying to their State Agriculture j the bearing in thia respect has noth- Colleges. lin g in common with its adroiniatra- Tbe use o f the very finest and p u r-; tion to poultry as a remedial agent. f eat COD LIVER OIL, we know is a d -1 It is not unlikely that some articles vocated by the Cornell University, <will sh nrtly appear in the poultry and by the Purdue University o f L a ; Journals warning breeders against Fayette, Ind., and it is quite certain the use o f impure Oil as these are apt that the same - stand has been taken j to contain deleterious substances by the other colleges throughout the j which will be hound to create distur- tTnited States, so that any conseien- bonces in the. fowJ, offsetting any ad- tjous dealer would be doing an injus- Mp te; million amount the state kpent three million for equipment with $6,900,000 for maintenance.- Add* ten per. cent increase the fUnd.fbr road construction, To this must be-added the aid granted by the FederahGovernment which is estimated at $3,- 7j50,000, making a total of $ f0,410,000 for new construction in 1927.

S. & S. O . HOME SOCIAL CENTER . * it Was it ever the purpose of the state to make the O. S. & S, , O. Home a social center fo r particular groups at the expense of thestate? We think not. However the tendency has been that way for some time* Each week large groups are gathered at dhe institution while th’e management' begs the legislature for nfore money for the operation of the institution. Requests have been made for half a millidn dollars for new buildings and equipment along with repairs fo r old structures vto house a less number of children than have been in the home for many years. It is not the purpose to even intimate that the children should not have theibest home obtainable or,not have advantages such as they are entitled too. r It sduld first be the{aim of the legislature to know who is to handle this half million dollars and just what it is to be used for, The present management has nothing to its credit to de­ serve such a'sum evenfor the orphans. This money should not be left to i board of politicians that has permitted the home to operate as it is today. The head of the board is'executive of a badly managed city that announced to the state some months ago that it was “ broke” and .could not pay its bills. We are jnformed that the voters of this city never intended to repud­ iate its bills—*-but the taxpayers'had no confidence in the pres­ ent executive and the manner in which the towns finances had been handlel. For that reason further financial support Was -denied. - .............. JThe present Home management evidently has more inter­ est in social functions than careing for the children. Card games in a public home for children with a long list of guests entertained at the expense of the state may be all right but we doubt i f even the Veterans approve o f this sort o f u program/ The Veterans as well as the Xenia Ministerial Alliance will be doing a great service if they will cause the veil to be lifted and see what is going on at the Home, * W H AT ORGANIZATION PROFIT DID FOR ONE A big suit now being tried in Detroit has brougt out some startling facts—facts especially interesting at this time. Facta that tend to prove that President Coolidge did the usual wise thing when he attached his veto to the farm relief bill passed by the last Congress. It developed in this suit that one of the participants profit- ed to the extent o f thousands in handling farm products as well as produce. Such revelations which are yet undisputed will not read well to those who trusted their crops to this personage who grew from humble circumstances to 4 millionare in the course of only a few years. Products were juggled more to the advantage of the representative than to the profit of the'pro­ ducer. Imagine what conditions might have been with the en- 4 tire crops o f the country handled in the same fashion. As !yet President Coolidge was right in his veto. There was nothing In the farm relief measure that could prohibit profit that would not benefit the producer or go Jto the government that Was to put Up the guarantee on prices/ Its always easier to sell at a loss than a profit. JUDGE NIPPED THE PEACH CRdP A New York Judge has by his decision in a divorce scandal nipped a “ peach” crop. An alimony-chasing mother was will­ ing to sell her daughter to a dotty old man, pass through the or­ deal of a nasty divorce trial to grab a few hundred thousand in alimony from the rich old bachelor. The case was evidently. doaidad right. Not that the childish old bachelor escaped pay m«nf of a high price for his experience but.that this mother i< not to revel in wealth gathered through a divorce court. Eliminate the alimony feature and you will eliminate most o f our divorce evils. thank Thee that in Christ Jesus our Lord, when we eonfess our sins, Thou art faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to^eleanse us from, all un­ righteousness.. DIAMOND PRACTICE AT C, C. All eyes o f the athletic world at; the college are now turned toward toward baseball. Practice is being- held. regularly, outside i f possible but Coaeh Borst and his cohorts retreat to the gym if the weather man gets in a bad day. n Coach Borst and his squad will try doubly hard to give C. C., a winning nine because in previous campaigns the teams have not been very formid­ able. Many veterans will be on hand this season and is looks like bright prospects for the team to be selected.

Tt is essentially a wild beast. It, is unfortunately aligned with conviviality;. Many ' peo-„ -pie seem to think that getting drunk is a jok&$m& the consump­ tion o f alcohol is amusing. They 'speak condoningly o f the u&e of whiskey by the youth. Many people, and especially those engaged in wet propa­ ganda*, do not realize the deadly end of this peril. - ‘ It is an own brother to murder, hold-ups, burglary, smug­ gling and thuggism. A man"fengaged in the business of enforcing the law of pro­ hibition takes his life in his hands, for those in'the liquor busi­ ness, do not hesitate to kill whemit is necessary, It embraces* not only low brow thugs, but millionaires and social leaders. While^the common people have declared for the abolition of alcohol there are many who are determined to go on with their consumption of liquor. The efforts of the convivially ^inclined and those who think that their personal liberty has been interfered with are in- fluencedjiy one of the strongest passions in the human breast- greed,/ .■ t .■■■■..■ . ■ . "■ '■ It is difficult to enforce any law when the breaking of that law is backed up by human passions. The laws against arson, murder, adultery and theft are thousands o f years old, yet they are constantly violated no matter what their evil effects. Theriqw against the use of-liuor is aimed at the greatest cause of crime that humanity has ever known. Those Who see vileness of its effects, the moral degradation of youth and the damage to business have lined up solidly for prohibition, while against the prohibitory law are those who are influenced by the traditional tolerance of the human rate to a habit that is supposed to be genial and pardonable. The trouble with bootlegging is that it pays and pays big. Whoever will take the profit out of this unholy business wilt be doing a great service. $ i $ i OVERALL j Special | Owing to our good fortune o f having made a j a favorable purchase o f OVERALLS, we are ] going to share with U by*offering U a : REALBARGA IN J A genuine 220 White Back Denim for $ 1.00 j . , I : ' HOME C lo th in g C om p a n y i '■ $ i 1 Trade at Home H.
