FIFTIETH YEAR NO. 22. CEDARVI3XE, OHIO, » D A Y , MAY 13,1927, PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR BOOSTSALARIES ANDGASTAX* THENADJOBN Farm and homo owners, as well as manufacturers, utility companies and Insurance companies will have occas- . ion to long remember the present leg­ islature as one o f the most costly in the history o f (the,state. Automobile owners will pick out members o f the legislative body as the ones that placed an extra cent tax on gasoline per gallon and a t the same time voted salaries fo r Judges that will reach $10,000 and $12,000 a year. With one breath1the legisla­ ture excused tl(e extra tax as a ne­ cessity acid with thp next shouted its self hoarse to boost judges salaries, all art the expense o f a populace that is trying to make ends meet by forced economy and more or less depressed business conditions and low' prices for farm products. * Criticism should be directed to the individual members o f this wrecking crew that bowed at the bid and under the lash o f the greatest lobby ever known in the palmy days o f saloon dictation, . There will be excuses offered. It matters not what they are—the public is to pay and pay dearly for the frolic the members -haye staged. There was no mojre business represented in the management o f the law making body than had the Russian Reds been ir control. The only thing the public can he . thankful for is that adjournment h& been taken and the “ law-makers’' are a t home to offer" the usual excuses as to things being so and so. In the closing- session open threats were made that votes were sold, in the Senate and no one denied that trading was a past time to get any lclnd of,t- •deal oyer the lobby wanted. Member* >were not traded singly but by the Job- by*in groups, so complete wus the third house in control. A State tax levy o f six-tenths o f & mill Was placed agaiiist all property In Ohio, the first to b e collected next December.' Both political parties were .« -pledged to oppose slack a t$x.

A meeting was held re­ cently in Xenia when a number o f local grocers heard the plan explain­ ed. The idea is fo r organization bo that wholesale buying can be done on a larger scale.

CORNBORERFIGHT UPSETSFARMERS If there is anyone subject on which farmers are anymore at sea than the 'Farm Relief” movement, it is the 'Corn Borer” problem. In meeting farmers, and hearing discussions we get all kinds o f opinions, some very much concerned; others indifferent and quite a few who have no faith in ;he scare at this time. Some in this /icinity say there are conditions in fiiis county that are 1*3 dangerous as -lie corn borer, More ( than one has mentioned the spread o f wild mustatd and the damage it.does to props. It is claimed it cannot be killed o u t . by cultivation and that the root does not winter kill. The seed is easily carried in any direction. The only known remedy at present Is pulling the weed tp outdo the other in trying to find something new- to tax and then' how to spend the money, - ' , * The various forms , o f ' taxes have been put on you and its up to you to dig down, and pay the bill. Living within the income, a policy that has never yet proved unsafd. had no place in the minds o f the legislators, a very large pet cent o f whom pay little or no tax. M .E . ThankofTering- ; .

It looks natural to see Judge Mar­ cus Shoup on the street in Xenia once more after bis operation. The Judge says he has gained 13 pounds and has all th« appetite necessary fo r one man, He Will not resume the practice o f law fo r a few weeks yet. prominent fanner .says in ' his opinion the low grade clover seed pn ' the mtirket is costing the farmers in Ohio more in the way o f damage tha" ,the' com borer. So fa r as known the corn borer has not^yet shown itself in this section .to any extent. The northern part o f Ohio is said to have the com borer but from the way farmers and farm organizations are protesting from that section of die state in the fight against the com .over, one is inclined to bejieve the tuation is not so bad as pictured. Tuesday 1,600 farmers organized at a. meeting in Tiffen, Q., and made plans to oppose the federal and state government in the manner in which crops were being destroyed by the corn borer Squad, A protest was sent to President Coolidge and to state of* fleers and the fanners in that section seem to have .a ll o f the com borer fight they want. The curia seems to be worse than the disease. The federal government appropriat­ ed about $10,000,000 and the state $200,000 to put up this fight. The campaign gave hundreds o f men jobs and certain companies have furnished tractors, oil burners, automobiles and trucks that cost into the millions. One thing is certain farmers are .not a unit on the corn borer fight. It is past time to protest. The law is in effect, whether it is a good or a bad law for the farmer, ' It would be an interesting sight to see an army o f men along the Cana­ dian line with nets trying to-catch the moths that we are told fly oyer and iay the eggs that hatch the com bor­ er. One o f our well known farmers made that comment a few days ago, Dr. Nancy Finney o f Oxford spent the week-end with her mother. Dr. and Mrs. W, R, McChesney gave a reception last evening to the mem­ bers o f the faculty o f the College as well as to the students, CUSTOMERSGATHERFOR1 -GENTSALE jprowant and Brown, local druggists, in our last issue, an­ nounced tlie semiannual “ One Cent Sale” that has been made famous over the country by Rexall Drugstores, A feature of the large advertisement in that issue was the absence of the date o f the opening and closing of the sale. The sale had been scheduled for this week and the ad last week was the prelimi­ nary announcement. , .. „ The public not aware o f the date for the sale, naturally thought the sale was'on last week and the situation Was em­ barrassing! to Mr, Brown, who had to explain that the sale was scheduled for this week instead o f last, Mr. Brown tells us that more than 100 people came into the store Saturday asking for articles'in the “ One Cent Sale,” This testimony o f course reflects two things, One that the Herald provided the drawing power and also that our readers read the store news of our advertisers, . . , « The m Cent Sale?' is in full swing this week, but closes Saturday night, r, " \ ' nection with “ Cedar Day” will be held The plane department, will have recital $h*t evening and the trusees Will meit June-2, the annual alumni banquet taking plilce the evening o f that day.

Paul G, Hurley, Agricul­ tural Agent f o r the . Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and Paul Geriaugh of the, Extension Service o f the Ohio Stete University were in conference with County Agent Kimber relative to the Swine Sanitation Special which will spend the forenoon (or after­ noon) o f Saturday, June Uth in Jamestown. The Extension Service has been em­ phasizing roung worm control in some o f the counties o f southwestern Ohio fo r four years. The success of the farmers in. this extension project has prompted the Baltimore & Ohio railroad to run this special train to assist the farmers in tjfieir territory to increase the pbcilfs' o f their* hog business. I f the farmer bas more money to spend, the railroad wifi profit by this situation. The farmer has more money to spend, the railroad tickets to take the family to Wash­ ington, D. C., or they may decide to buy. a new dining suit which would be shipped to their dealer thus making increased freight receipts, “Anything that makes fo r a more prosperous community” says Mr. Hur ley, “ makes for ft more prosperous railroad.” The University Will be interested in getting the information, relative to swine sanitation in general use by hog growers because the men who hove followed these suggestions say their hogs have made them more money when these practices have been followed. The Swine Sanitation train will car­ ry-material and information on in­ ternal parasites, emphasizing the common roung worm and will also show the preferable protein feeds to use with corn in feeding hogs, Assisting the Railroad and the Uni­ versity will be a representative o f the U. S. Department o f Agriculture. The Experiment Station is assisting in supplying material on feeding.

WESTERNUNION WIRESERVICE ISPROMISED It will be gratifying news to the local shippers and business men that the Pennsylvania railroad officials are to restore Western Union wire ser­ vice here. , ^ A week ago the company moved the office from here to Wilberforce and closed the local tower. A new system o f tram operations with longer runs between blocks is being tried out and with much success from what we are told. A ll o f this may be ideal fo r ’ the company but is was not satisfactory to local busiAess interests who had use o f the Western Union wire. i Last week protests went in over the change and fo r a few days things were in a whirl here, . Monday Mr. A, M. Pence, Division Operator, made a visit to learn first hand what the trouble was and that the company had no intention o f cut­ ting the town from wire service. • He was not aware that the only ser­ vice possible was through the Xenia exchange and then oyer a party* line to the Wilberforce station tower. We are informed that the- company all along had expected a direct tele­ phone wire from Wilberforce to, the local exchange fo r the benefit o f the Western Union patrons. Due to a mixup o f orders out o f Chicago, the phone was ordered installed by1 the Bell company in Xenia. Mr. Pence at once saw that this condition was riot to be desired and he immediately got in touch -with Chicago and we are in­ formed that *1 direct wire from Wil­ berforce. will toe connected with the local exchange, -■ The telephone service from here by w ay'of Xenia over a party line would never have, been satisfactory. Many wire messages are o f a confidential nature and there could be no privacy over a party line. ■ ‘ While.trouble broke on the service- over the change made last week wq are sure that the new plau wjl he as satisfactory as is possible to make it. There need be no Icing waits to get 'estem Unien operator With Mr, Pence was perfectly willing to see that decent service he giyen local people and no' doubt clerical help in the ,Chicago office was responsible for the unfortunate trouble last week.' With service restored Supt. R. C., Barnard, and Mr. Pence, edn rest as­ sured that they Will have' the co-op­ eration of the local shippers as. well qs Our citizens. There is no ground now fo r any ill feeling. Removing the tower and operation o f trains is o f no concern t o local people.' I f the company can profit by it, well and good. The only complaint was over tho kind ’o f Western Union service we were to have. With it restored we wish to extend thanks to the of­ ficials that heeded our appeal. H. S.
