FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1930 ™ MEMORIAL DAY WITH US AGAIN * ■ • * « Memorial- Day, the one day of the year set aside to acknowledge the nation’s debt to its fallen heroes and defend­ ers, Is with us again today. I t is a day of sentiment and the kind tha t must be continued if the victory of the past is to be kept and the progress gained is made secure. Few there are <hat can recall the first Memorial Day, but the traditions and the lessons of the past still make it the sweetest, saddest day when mem­ ories can be refreshed over the departed. The flags and the flowers will lighten the burden of many a heart and may it be so not only today but on Memorial Days of coming years. r~>»‘■«' 1*=- J W s f l f e K ( / A r th u r B r lfh a n t They Sa»f • To JMsmur*xe Red* Marx *M Confucius ^ The World Will Last Mrs. Naidy, Gandhi's successor as leader, *oe* to jail fo r nine months.

There was a meeting in Columbus one day last week at which time discussion took place as to adopting a new form of county government. After standing for more than a century it is proposed th a t we have a change and a movement is being started for a constitutional amendment to th a t effect. There no doubt are many things about our county govern­ ment th a t might be revised and no interest injured. But the electors, should be thoroughly informed . before trusting a change to the legislature. The past ten years has witnessed a centralization of government.a t Columbus after the German plan, Powers of local officials have been severed and in some instances county officials are now subject to the orders of a de­ partment in Columbus. > » The state government as formed a century or more ago has 'been the' basis of our present growth and development. Evi­ dently all interests, were on a level but the new idea is to take away, local control and place governing power in th e capitol, a sort of dictatorship such as the Kaiser saw smashed in. hie country. It is fa r too s.oon to make predictions or recommendations other than the people should not give up local authority because some one or two organizations advocate it. The new organiza­ tion is starting with the experience of the tax referendum las'; fall and we note a prominent farmer has been selected foi permanent chairman. WHAT A STATE BANK DEPARTMENT DOES . The closing of a bank in an adjoining county and the man­ ner in which the State Banking Department permitted patrons to deposit funds up to the closing of the doors of the institution is the subject of considerable just criticism. The State Banking Department has extended powers in such matters and may have reasons th a t justify such action but no rule of any state department can be effective with public sentiment unless it has a measure of fairness towards the public. As the' situation exists the State Department made no effort tc give warning- to late depositors, after having the institution under investigation fo r several days previous. . , The Banking Department must have the confidence of the public just as the bank itself must have and without it neither can function properly. Without that confidence the State Bank­ ing Department is useless and the public would be skeptical’of a report of the standing of a hank th a t was perfectly solvent. ■No bank can exist without public support and for tha t rea­ son the depositor should have first consideration. Permitting depositors to deposit funds within a few hours pf the closing oi the doors of a financial institution is regarded by the public as criminal and a breach of public faith. The criticism against the Ohio Bank Department in this one instance' is perfectly justified. • Congress votes, 210 'to 18, *n in quiry into “Red activities.” This means the effort of "Red Russia” to change the government of the United States ay persuading the "toilers to arise in their might and throw off their chains.” Throwing off your chains would be all right, hut throwing off your auto­ mobile, radio, vacuum cleaner, talking machine and other accessories of the modern worker would make life dull. tially c r conspleteJy *dp*d out a t in- f tervais, ocmp*Ufld to bagia ail over' again, w*rk»g tta way up from Micro- scopic evMtixrM fautfeg in **lt water. France permitted the Graf Zeppelin to sail ever all her West Indian col­ onies except one place on the island of Martinique. Britain gave pwmiwioo to fly over British' Caribbean territory. That nonsense -about giving other nations permission to use the air should end, Anybody can use the ocean of water and do what he pleases on it, eight miles out. The other ocean, of air, soon to be more im­ portant, should be similarly regulated, anybody allowed to use it, anywhere, one mile or two miles up. Interna­ tional law should settle that. ed in Murphy’s honor will dominate monuments to Washington, Lafayette and Lincoln, all in Union Square, On a second thought, the memorial committee decided that Mr. Murphy, although a powerful Tammany leader, was no greater than the three others in Union square, so the flagpole is to coi iinemorate American independence, j Mr. Murphy, who had a sense ot humor, would approve of that change, Wilberforce Commence­ ment, Thursday, June 12 Secretary Lamont predict* “normal business in three jnonthB,” April con­ tracts for new construction amounted to $483,000,000, biggest month since August, hut lower than last April.

E. !Kyle, » If congress will use its brains and the nation's resoi ' ces to keep com­ petent workers busy, it need not worry about any imported Russian “Red pro gram.” If it doesn't keep American work­ ers busy, it may have a “red pro­ gram,” homemade, more dangerous than anything ever devised.'

Re­ cently he told a crowd of 100,000 in Florence that Italy was prepared for everybody, France included. Now he is adding twenty-two submarines. With those twenty-two submarines Mussolini could do a great* deal to. the peace of mind of France, Great Brit­ ain and other ship-owing nations. . Peace is beautiful, but Mussolini means to be ready for the other thing. London, which often knows more about our affairs .than we know, says money will be even cheaper than it was. The bank rate may be reduced to 2% per cent. Here is comfort. Worry no more about the world coming to an end.

The CAPPELLUGGAGECo., SUPREME COURT FREES THE PURCHASER An effort has been made to make the purchaser of Jiquor guilty with the seller under the prohibition laws. A case was decided this week: by. the United States Supreme Court tha t the law makes no provision for such charges and it'was not the idea of the sponsors to do so. Already prominent dry leaders are divided on the import of the decision. One Senator Will offer a bill making it a violation for the purchase as well as sale. The enforcement division says th a t being the case it will be harder to get evidence and the question arises of the justness of a late officer purposely break­ ing a law to get another violator. Congressman S. D; Fess in a statement doubts the wisodm of such a law. Wet leaders were disappointed in the court de­ cision feeling with the purchaser guilty public sentiment would only return quickly for modification pf the lav/ or probably re­ peal.. We have"reached the stage in prohibition enforcement th a t might be regarded the reverse of ten years ago.’ The wets are leaning to radical enforcement,while conservative drys are satisfied with what we have fearing any other move might re­ sult in a return to old conditions. To the average citizen tee now have plenty of late but a fairer system of enforcement with favoritism eliminated would bring even better results. A t pre­ sent the law* is nothing more than a political club in certain hands and with others a vehicle to ride into public favor.
