P TU I CEDARVILLE HERALD j f Amy.w s y iL L EDITOR AND PUBLISHER IW » r * d « t th c Pout Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October SI, 1887, u aaoond claw matter, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1930 PROPOSED DRIVER'S LICENSE STRIKES SNAG It is evident now that the position the Herald took last week in opposing certain parts of the proposed automobile license law is almost identical with opposition expressed by Attorney Robert S. Marx, Cincinnati, in a debate on the same question with Joseph R, Gardner, Cincinnati, president of the automobile club in that city. Judge Marx stated that a movement had been started in this country at the request of Herbert Hoover, then secretary o f Interior, for a model license law that would be uniform in all states. The State Bar Association proposes such a law as part of its legislative program before the Ohio legislature this winter. The Judge also states the proposed bill now being initiated was sponsored by officials of the Cincinnati Automo­ bile Club without even authority of the members and will if enacted into law create an army of political job holders and. force automobile owners to contribute over a million dollars annually for political purposes. He also states the City Man­ ager in Cincinnati refused to endorse the initiated bill. W e notice the Ohio Safety Council has gone on record as opposing the political setup of the initiated bill that will place .more than a million dollars In the hands of politicians for issu­ ing licenses in the various counties.. The one point made by Judge Marx is that each state should have uniform laws, on this subject; Ohio drivers under the initiated bill could be held responsible while the driver of a car from a distant state that might be partially or entirely responsible for an accident would go free. There are two vital sides to the proposed license law and we fear the automobile owners as well as the general public are not having all the facts placed in the open for theii consideration.* “ by A r t h u r B r t i b a M iiftdtiiiM, M miwj , M m Strange Russia * Science and Supenition Good Time* Ahead Congressmen will introduce present­ ly bills lor road building, requiring $3$0,000,0Q0 in 1931. I f the states should pay an equal amount, it would mean spending more than $700,000,- coo, No wiser expenditure could be made or better way found to put money into circulation. The number employed, unfortunate­ ly, would be small, since modem ro*(h making is done by machinery, spread­ ing but the path o f cement as buck­ wheat batter is spread on a hot griddle. We have the..money, the men and the machines, and they ought to be kept moving. * . Russia’s government may fail anc czars come back, with grand dukes tc take from peasants the land they think they now own. But some things that the Russians are doing, whether they fail or suc­ ceed, should ,stir up useful thought in other countries that think themselves superior, including, this country. WHO DESIRES TO BECOME GREAT IN OHIO? A golden opportunity awaits some citizen in Ohio to be­ come the outstanding leader by taking the platform for a gen eral reduction in the cost of state government. Ohio has be-, come eneamic from an overdose of taxation.. At this time committee appointed by Gov. CooRer under /the classification amendment is considering new tax proposals. The only report heard so far from this committee is that various new proposals for more tax to be collected under different methods have been considered. There is the income tax, sales tax, various taxes on securities and bank deposits. It evidently has not yet dawn­ ed on this committee that instead of finding as many ways to raise taxes as possible, it might be a good suggestion to con­ sider some plan of eliminating some of the branches of state government that are costly and nothing more than providing soft jobs for faithful political workers. Wh ile ; every industry, mercantile house, farmer and pri­ vate citizen has been forced to retrench wherever possible not a member of the committee has nerve enough to announce to the people of the state that it is time for Ohio to set ap ex­ ample to reduce the cost of state government and thus provide some relief to a tax burdened state and its citizens. It is the belief of most everyone who knows anything about state affairs that this could be7done without harming public service or re ducing efficiency.. I f Henry Ford, General Motors, Standard Oil or Pennsylvania Railroad executives were to be placed in charge to operate the state as a private corporation would be, what a transformation Ohio citizens would experience. COMMUNITY CLUB SHOULD TAKE LEAD The suggestion at a recent meeting of village council that >Cedarville should have a Community Chest is well worth con­ sideration. The Community Ghest idea is npt new' of* novel and has been tried end tested in the largest cities, as well as the . smaller towns, and has proven'the ideal way to handle charity cases. The largest city has not sufficient funds to do the work that is done by the Community Chest. There is no legal method by which any municipality could carry on such work but with volunteer subscriptions, good management of funds, careful in­ vestigation of needy cases, a semi-public organization has been able to give aid and relief to the satisfaction of all. This year above all years a Community Chest is needed. It is not an organization to create popers but it . can and does sift out the worthy from the unworthy and send a dollars worth of aid for every dollar contributed. The success of chest drives in large and small cities this year js remarkable. It is a signal -that-a-sympathizing-pttbKe-is-ready-to-respond-to-the-eaH-of- For instance. Mr. H. R. Knicker- bocker, investigating Russian affairs for Cyrus E(. K. Curtis, describes “ the largest farm in the world,” owned and run by the Russian government, it covers 642,000, acres,' more than 1,000 square miles, v Twenty-eight hundred permanent laborers are employed at 100 rubles ($50) a month. The government has Invested $14,000,000. in the farm; 300,000 acres were sown this year in wheat and, rye, That is really applying methods of big industry to farming, about which we talk much and dp little. • On the 300th anniversary of Johan­ nes Kepler’s death, Einstein tells the Prussian Academy of Science what wonders Kepler performed, overcom­ ing poverty, worry and making clear to human beings the laws of geometry and time. Much progress in human intelli­ gence has been made since ■Kepler’s day. To hold the emperor’s favor, Kepler had to tell the imperial for­ tune and pretend to predict the future by astrology, which he knew to be nonsense. And. even the great Tycho Brahe who mapped the heavens. without a telescope and took Kepler for his as sistant when. Kepler was twenty-nipe, had >his superstitions. He kept with him an idiot, that crouched at his feet at table, eating scraps thrown to him. And- when the idiot uttered mean­ ingless sounds; Tycho Brahe caused all his-otfier-guests-to-be-silent, be­ lieving that the idiot’s talk was in­ spired. the Unfortunate that; in the past haye endeavored to help themselves.

Using foreign capital, partly Amer­ ican, and 27,000 workmen, Germans will build 500,000 tons of new com­ mercial ships. Modern war kills men, but no longer kills women, that cre­ ate the men. It does not kill old men, and scientists are usually beyond the military age. Germany has her scientists, to cre­ ate a new industrial Gerriiany; her women, to create the new German generation; and is better off, on the whole, than some o f those that “won the war.” , Professor Flugel of the London uni­ versity says, “ The world is approach­ ing nudism.” He believes that men are getting tired of Wearing clothes, will soon abandon them and women will lead the way. “ As a scientist,” Professor Flugel predicts thet women will force the human race to go back to absolute nakedness. But it can’t “ go back” to anything of the kind, 666 Relieves a Headache or Neuralgia la 30 minutes, checks a Cold the first day, and checks Malaria In three days. 866 also in Tablets.
