FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1928 RURAL DEVELOPMENT UNDERGOING GREAT CHANGE j It* .at 45 years of existence, the electric industry has reach-! ed not only every urban community of any importance mt he j United Btatea with light and power service, hut rural electrifica­ tion on a national scale is today an accepted fact. On January 1, 1927, The National Electric Light Associa­ tion estimated that 850,000 farms received electric service from Utility company distribution lines. Electricity illuminates the farm house, barns, garage, poul­ try houses, and other buildings, heats the incubator and water for animals and poultry during the winter operates the electric range, electric iron, toaster, vaccum\deaner and other house­ hold conveniences; but, perhaps, it renders its greatest service on the farm in furnishing power for shelling, and grinding corn, threshing barley, separating milk, cutting ensilage and fodder, stuffing sausage, milking cows, churning butter, etc, A recent survey showed over 100 farms use for electricity, and the list is beiixg enlarged daily. , Donald Affleck, in Central Hudson* Bulletin, sums it up thusjy: "The real contribution which electricity has mode to rural development lies in the fact that it baa raised the standard of living in outlying sections by removing much o f the drudgery connected with the everyday duties of the farmer, and in bring­ ing to him and his family most of the conveniences commonly as­ sociated with life in urban communities.” * <»y HikV l it, Hi'uf.w ,;n. u u , jjw * Blbt. |r»rif|)lB«fObirtro.t f33, 1*1* We-ters l!nU<fc.) Lesson for July 1$ THG CONVERSION OF SAUL ’“FIRES HURT ALL BUSINESS* “ In the present economic scheme of things,” says the Modern Fire Chief, “ we live ip a very closely-knit and interre­ lated. world. Cooperation is the basis of our economic order, which is affected and regulated by a very-intricate system of exchange, . Each o f us can enjoy success' in the long run, only as long as the whole system of*thip<rs prospers. Because of this cooperative interdependence’ahy waste o f labor or capital affects each o f us. ' “1’ . ' - * • - v “ Knowing this to be true, why do we Americans so com­ placently regard our annuarfire loss as a blotter of course— , something that only affects; those wlio suffer a 'fire? What a " fallacy it is to,believe that the'effects of a firb are limited to the factory or the building or the*home tjhat is destroyed! “What happens when an industrial plant burns? Produce tiqn ceases, and when work stops, men naturally are thrown out of work. When work ceases,^salaries and wages cease. Per­ haps it soon becomes necessary to draw out of “saving accounts and the like. Only the absolute necessities o f life are pur­ chased! The buying power of the people is lessened.” The public should realize that our tremendous annual direct loss of nearly $60O,QOG,QOO is but a small part of an 4 inestimable total. The indirect loss in wages, business, time and 1 employment is a great additional burden that must be borne by all o f us, and which is not “ insured.” THE INDIVIDUAL MUST REMAIN PARAMOUNT . ‘ The open secret of the greatness of America is expressed perfectly at the end of Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg address— “ Government of the people, by,the people, for the people . . . ” , At the basis of all we have done, all our achievements and prosperity, is that' definite principle o f government. Jn the beginning, the United States was created by men to whom monarchy, the Divlfie Right of Kings, all the freedom- srifiing.autocracy o f the Eux’ope o f that time, was abominable. , ‘ ' They established a great country on the doctrine that the people were entitled to freedom, liberty and the right to organize their own government and society. ■ The iron heel o f Imperialism was abolished and the great experiment; Democracy, became a reality. The qualities which had lain dormant in a Subjugated- people— adventurousness, vision, the urge to progress and in­ vent and perfect— came splendidly to life. With magnificent energy and intelligence a comparative handful o f citizens set themselves to the grim reality of developing a great country whose possibilities, resources, and even physical boundaries and characteristics, were but vaguely understood. A little more than 150 years later, we are the heirs o f their herculean accomplishments. All their dreams, aspirations and triumphs have been giten to us. 1 V • It is our place— our duty—to see that our inheritance is carried on toward that ultimate perfection they envisaged. The past greatness of America, the past accomplishments, ejame from unhampered individualism that used its intelligence and initiative for the benefit of the people as a whole, with the assistance of a government that was the true voice o f the people. The future achievements and yet unconceived greatness o f America must stand on the same basis—freedom of the in­ dividual to progress and realize to the limit his possibilities. Only with that doctrine uppermost, can industrial and business greatness be created and maintained. There must he no departure from government' of, by and for the people. There is no place in this country for pater- naism or radicalism. The individual must remain paramount or we have failed. .

That paper disagreed with the political organization which had endorsed Cooper. For all this the American issue and the Anti-Saloon League now sets out to down Begg for Cooper. The dry-utility sheet is much peeved because the,Times- btar does not favor Cooper. Cooper was a candidate two years ago and the Times-Star supported him. Cooper won the nom­ ination but, lost in the regular election. The Cox-Hyrticka organization in Hamilton county that is sopping wet has en­ dorsed Cooper this year. It fought him at the regular election two years ago. The Times-Star supported Hoover in the primary and is yet for the Republican nominee. The Anti-Saloon League was for the Daugherty oil-scandal .element, the “ clean as a hound’s tooth crowd,” * * i t ? 1? will have jqgt cause to carefully weigh’ the truthfulness of political statements made by the American Issue and the League utility politicians, Including D, Pember­ ton, former liquor lobbyist, who put on a liquor party in Colum­ bus hotel, that never excited the paid reformers. It was only two years ago that Ohioans were told if you did not vote for the justice of peace bill you would have no local justice. It was a false statement without one word of proof offered to back if up. Ohio still has the justice o f peace courts but they are not waxing fat from the owners of automobiles.
