T H E C E D A R V I L L E H E R A L D * KARLH BULL — EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Entered the Post Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 31, 1887, as second class matter, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1037. DICTATORS NOW; ONCE BEGGERS The action of the .Pennsylvania Railroad Company in mov­ ing the Western Union office from east of town to four miles west of town, Wilberforce station, upon twenty-four hours notice to the public came as quite a surprise to local business men and shippers. With the announcement that the change to be made was an experiment for thirty' days, yet we are quite certain, regardless of the success the plan may prove to the company, the. public cannot be rec6nciled to such a radi­ cal departure as to accomodations for the benefit of the public. It was just a few weeks ago that the Pennsylvania Com­ pany asked the Ohio Utility Commission for the right to drop the two morning, trains. Locally there was no particular op­ position to this move for the public is well aware that local pas­ senger business cannot be profitable. There was no move made to protest the dropping of these trains, which proves that the local people have no intention of placing an intentional hard­ ship on the railroad company. The removal of the telegraph service to a distant country point without adequate telephone service is not warranted and we are sure if the railroad management insists on maintaining that idea after the thirty days trial, the company will not only loose the good will of the public, but find profits cut to a large extent on local shipments of freight, as in-coming and ou t-go ing freight can always be routed to give the local company tlj,e disadvantage of the short haul, where at present the company gets the entire freight mileage on probably ninety per cent of the local freight business. Cedarvfile’s record as a shipping point is vvell known, and forsq(me years it has maintained the leadership in car shipments over other stations between Col­ umbus and Cincinnati. With this kind of a record and the re­ cent action of the company in removing.Western Union service it is almost certain focal shippers and local people will have no interest in the problems of the railroad company. A few yearis ago the railroads were fighting with their backs to the wall. Public sentiment was at a stage where it was reflected in Congress. Radical movements were under, why from a legislative standpoint. Railroad management became panic striken. Then came an appeal to the public. To the press. To organizations of every description. W e remember very dis­ tinctly a personal call that Dr. W . A . Galloway, Xenia, 'and; a Pennsylvania railroad representative made to this office in be­ half of the campaign that was put in motion to counteract any attempt on the part qf congress to- add additional legislative burden on the companies. The newspapers gave loyal support over the nation. The public accepted the appeal and as.a re­ sult, Congress took no action. * Today we fing railroad earnings and net profits the great­ est in the history of the country. Freight and passenger ser­ vice has been cut to permit a large profit to the companies. At this stage of the situation the railroad companies are passing a critical time.. With big profits and greed to . expand without consideration of the public welfare, breeds the very situation the rail interests asked the conservative public to surpass only a few years ago. x It has been reported that the railroad, company is not too friendly towards the telegrapher’s union and that changes and closing of stations is to whip out the union. We have.no interest in the union in question, or any other, until such organizations step in to disrupt the public service. But the p u b l i c Will never permit the curtailment of a public service that some company can whip a labor organization. "The problem belongs to the company, not the public. The discontinuance of telegraph service means just as much to foreign concerns doing business here as it does to the local companies, and general public. Should this order not he changed it means that the Ohio Manufacturers^Association as well as Live Stock Shippers Associations and eastern commis­ sion men, will be brought into the contest * W e hope the railroad company will give this question more consideration, than appears on the surface at this1'time., The public wants to be fair. *The company cannot blame poOr busi­ ness or small profits as an excuse for this change. The public has had no warning in this change. I t s no time to “ high-hat” the public. . ' ' 1 WHAT IS SUCCESS? What is this thing we call success, anyhow? We knew a man who died not long ago and did not leave enough actual money to pay his funeral expenses. Yet in our judgment* he was a success. He had been a good husband and father. He had raised two sons, put them through high sqhool and placed them both in honest trades where they were assured gpod wages. All his life he had been a good citizen, a Christian and a gentleman. Yet when he died his sons had to help- pay the expenses of burial. , W e know another man who is easily rated a millionaire. He has a magnificent home and a wide fame. One daughter died in disgrace. His only son is a drunkard and a libertine. His beautiful home is only a dreary mausoleum. Is a man a success if he gets money and raises daughters to be fools and sons to be loafers? * In our humble opinion to keep clean, to do good work, earn friends, to be happy and bestow happiness to develop oppor­ tunity, to serve where possible— this is .success. There is no greater. There is no other. THE LEGISLATURE AND TAXATION The legislature is on a recess taking stock of what the dam­ age was after nearly four months of lobby domination. The pnjblic smiles each day when reports in the daily press carry the news that “ Veto Vic” is still wielding the axe. State finan­ ces are in bad shape. The old story of the “State’s broke” has * worn out since the legislature appropriated more than 53 mil­ lion dollars for the next 18 months, arid this being about 10 mil­ lion more than the Governor asked for to carry on the business of the state over that period. Everything has been taxed that was permitted.by the lobby and there the legislature quit. The road machinery people put over the gasoline tax so that more roads could be improved in counties that will not improve their own. Meantime land own­ ers in Greene county are paying their share of improv­ ed road costs in taxes, arid are asked to put one cent more in the state cash box that roads can be built free where there is no civic pride. Town and city people that need new streets and street impair are told to fix their own and then pay more gas tax because the road machinery lobby wants to sell more machin­ ery to the state, Its a fine situation.
