FRIDAY, MARCH 28,1930 W H A T W ILL BE TA XED A N D W H A T NO T ? As one reads the proposals of what is to be taxed and what might escape tax in the proposals being considered under the proposed classification of property, we wonder i f there is to be any class o f property that will escape. One of the latest is to tax not only church property but college property as well. Classification was offered as a panacea for all our tax ills in Ohio and the voters approved the amendment at the polls last November on the plea that tax would be'reduced on real estate by bringing out intangables that were not being taxed under the uniform rule. ’ r The best we can hear now is that real estate will not benefit to the extent promised. Demand for more revenue and lower rates on money will not give the return necessary, In addi­ tion a state income tax is suggested or sales tax on all goods sold. Canada has had wonderful success on the sales tax and it has given the government money to meet obligations. With the sales tax everyone pays according to the purchase. With in­ come tax the manufacturer and retailer have the opportunity o f passing it oh by increasing the cost o f the articles sold. The same goods made in this country are sold for less in Canada and the sales tax-is extra. This is proof that the consumer pays the manufacturer’s income tax and probably some additional that only goes into profit. We have always opposed indirect taxes in any form and the worst of all is what is known as the ‘'pain­ less tax” , where you pay is and do not know it. With people paying taxes direct they will have more interest in public af­ fairs. BANKS CONTINUE TO MERGE , For many years-England was regarded as the banking cen­ ter of the universe, having the largest bank in the world. Such is the case no longer. New York now takes the- lead through the merging o f certain financial institutions. ' Not only are large banks merging but hundreds of smaller banks have joined forces and in a few instances banks in var­ ious towns have been taken over and operated on the chain bank system. Ift smaller communities where two banks have bfeen struggling to exist,it is wellihey should be merged as long as control remained in that particular community it served. .Treasury officials have long opposed branch, group and chain banking. Whilefthere is strong argument for rending good service there is always the possibility apd the chance of huge loans that might ruiii not only the institution but an entire community through which the "bank served. In addition group banking could be used for disastrous power if those in control were so inclined. " * The doctrine is being preached .by those who favor chain banking that the small-town bank is not. only passing but no longer is necessary. The argument o f present day 'transporta­ tion is used that people would rather bank in the larger cities. The chain bank system is dangerous not only as an invest­ ment for the small stockholder but can be used to ruin good credit of one manufacturer or retailerYavoring another. Wh|le we have drifted to the centralized idea not only o f government but of business, there is no assurance that it will continue. It is our opinion,, that we shall see an uprising sooner or later over centralized power not only in business of all kinds but a re­ turn to a more sane economical form of government where a , nation of'educated people can have a direct voice in all affairs, locally. To hear some exponents of the centralized idea o f bus­ iness and government argue would make one believe the United States was on par with European countries where force is the greatest factor in maintaining law and order and observance o f Respect for government, . ” SAYS TOWN DRUNK HAS PASSED A state official made a speech several days ago in support of prohibition.^ It was one of those flowery prohibition speeches that pne.usually expects from*.a salaried prohibition, official. Some statements relative to prohibition were true and there has been progress made but not as much as the average paid prohibition speaker would have you believe exists. One statement made is that we still have bootleggers and o f course this will not be denied. This admission however was not elaborated upon. Another statement that the “ town drunk has passed” hears some investigation, There was no distinc­ tion Whether the word “ town” was to include both the village and city, or village alone. Had the speaker made the state ment “ the town drunk was passing” We believe it would come nearer fitting the situation as we have it today. The public cannot be fooled on the success o f prohibition and flowery speeches as to great accomplishments only fall on an indiffer­ ent citizenship that knows what is going on. If we had more speeches admitting the weak spots and the failures the public conscience might be awakened to the need of more support for the cause. The rural populace is convinved that more liquor comes from the cities than goes from the rural counties to the city. The public has lio objection to 'constant prqdding of local of­ ficials to keep on the job in rural counties but you never hear bf many sheriffs from urban counties or chiefs of police being placed on the carpet. Constant nagging o f rural officials and little action against city officials is developing a serious situa­ tion. The idea of one or two state men from the prohibition department working in county o f half a million people and two or three in a rural county o f twenty-five or thirty thous­ and people, naturally makes one believe the rural people are the worst offffenders of the prohibition laws’ or that we have a well organized system o f favoritism for the urban counties.

Preston Garlough and Mary Alice Miller, who reside in the vicinity o f Pitchin, are in -the Springfield City Hospital, the latter in a very serious condition.

Walter Wildman, son o f AUie Wildman, Seims has passed a machine on his side o f the hill and did not get- back in his line o f traffic in time to avoid the collision with the Garlough car.

Miss Miller at. last reports had not regained consciousness and was sup­ posed to have suffered a broken jaw and fractured skull beside bad cuts and some minor injuries. ' Mr,.

Creswell the key man: in contention for appointment as United States Marshal in this district. Cincinnati has a candidate but he; could not meet two o f the require­ ments, on that the appointee must be an ex-service man and the other "dry” . Dayton wants ttye appointment re­ gardless o f the fact that Judge Neyjn comes from that city. Columbus has not pushed hard f o r an appointment hoping to break in when it is certain Creswell cannot land. The ‘liberal element is somewhat disturbed over the situation and the. requirement that the new appointee must .be "dry” , All signs point to the fact that a dry appointee demand .is ninety per cent o f the opposition to Mr, Creswell. The Department o f Justice will recognize none other and both Ohio Senators have agreed, F U R N I T U R E REPAIRED and UPHOLSTERED A t Prices In Reach Of Everybody CharlesfLHoerner PHONE CedarviUe 148 Rea, Affdr®** Cor.
