A this time on the vital subject o f classification ? Classification is not a p lan fo r the benefit of city people atone but those in the rural districts, as well. It will, he recalled previous to the adoption of the classifica­ tion plan promisee w e re made that real estate would be given a much smaller per cent o f the tax load to carry and that in­ tangible would be drawn into the light fo r taxation to make up the difference, W ith no definite statement from the Committee having the classification amendment in charge there have been printed reports that real estate would not escape as much as first suggested. • I t has been proposed to adopt the state income tax plan as an aid fo r real estate but there will be opposition to this and of course no politician would mention such a subject now with the election right a t hand. The best plan is to keep the voters in ignorance until after election and then tell them what they w ill get whether they like it or not. A writer In the Washington C. H . Herald several days ago attacked the incomb tax prbposal and best described it as a tax collected from those able to pay ii , that could' collect it back from those thatw ou ld not have to pay an income tax. In other words income tax I b passed to the con­ sumer who foots the bill in tpe end. W e are informed many prominent men that favored classi­ fication a year:ago are skeptical o f it at this time, The poli- ticians have the whole tax system in their grasp and are not keeping the public informed. It is to be rolled into shape, . pushed into the legislature, which w ill be“compelled to pass it under political threats. The citizens o f Ohio should be aware of the tax situation - that confronts them. The proposed tax law should provide f or a referendum on eadh measure that is passed by the legislature. In this way the public can. have some protection from the cor­ rupt lobby o f road machinery Rnd material interests. There woiild he on bills rushed through as the last one dent gasoline tax that was called relief for. township roads when in reality the largest; part o f it gees to the state. ' Ohio has a right td demand an accounting now as to the classification plan to be adopted. A fte r election time when the politicians in Columbus gather in executive session to give the final approval o f the report, it w ill be too late fo rthe home own­ er or farm owner to defend himself or herself. The only relief the farmer or home owner can estpect is a. reduction in the cost o f state government. Dismissal of hundreds of useless state in­ spectors that are annoying every line o f business w ill save hun­ d re d s o f thousands. Pu t the government back in the hands of the people through members of council, township .trustees and county commissioners and out pf the hands o f high-hat’bureau? ; and state commissions: Put responsibility in the hands of local ' elective officials where the average citizen can file a protest without employing a high-powered attorney to represent him as is now necessary before a state board. f INDICTMENT AGAINST DAUGHERTY The grand jury in Payette county has returned numerous *. Indictments against Mai Daugherty in connection with the re­ cent bank failure in .that city. This is a matter o f process ol law and o f course does not prove his guilt in.court where he w ill « have and is entitled to a fa ir hearing and trial. But follow ing this process Of law in the name o f .the state < and in behalf o f society does not mean the stockholders and several thousand depositors w ill get fu ll return fo r either their investment or deposits. . f , The' question that concerns the public is the' action o f the .Ohio State Banking department in permitting the re-organiza­ tion o f the banks in that city into the Ohio State Bank. It is charged the department intentionally or unintentionally per­ mitted a Consolidation o f interests as they are revealed today the public has a right to believe the Ohio State Bank was in- . solvent the day the State Banking Department permitted it to open. Just how fa r politics has played in this banking problem cannot be estimated, yet there is no one that knew politics in the Seventh Congressional District but is convinced that Daugh­ erty never overlooked putting politics into,anything that would he o f benefit td his organization. When the State Bank Department selected the Ohio State ‘.Bank as depository fo r other insolvent, banks, it is evident politics had much to do with it. Certaihly O .C . Gray, the heat o f the departmenteanhot say it was a wise business move. Why did he overlook two perfectly insolvent banks in Wilmington when he was seeking a depository fo r a Blanchester bank that was in trouble? This is fo r M r. Gray to answer. The Herald has no interest in the Washington C. H. bank trouble other than from a public standpoint and the public has a right to have a voice in such matter through the press. The administration o f the bank department as it relates to the pub­ lic is no credit to Governor Cooper’s business administration. W e have supported the Governor and he has many accbmplish- ments to his credit but the Herald never has apology to make fo r the wrong doing or misgiving o f any public office, particular- ly that o f s state banking department. Governor Cooper evidently does not know the sentiment of f the people in this section o f the state. He evidently does not know what people are discusring in public affairs. I f he did he would demsnd the resignation o f Supt. Gray within the next twenty-four hours that confidence on the part o f the depositors* not only in FSyette but in other counties, can be restored. The Governor can yet win many friends back before election day by demanding Gray’s resignation. I f he does not he must take what the public has in store fo r him at the ballot box on Novem­ ber 4th. • . to A r t h iu r jB r la b a n * A Troubled World Hot pwy ’l for Eugenics What Alls Vs Ah Power Unlimitad? There is serious revolution in Bra xil, Pamemfaeeo taken fay the rebels, according to report. / In the Argentine rioting leaders are executed. * In China 75,000 “Reds'* attack Ki- angel province. Mild and peaceful south Germany is rocked by earthquake. Raphael's beautiful Madonna in. Munich, with the exquisite littld cherubs looking upward, must have felt the quake, »ut fortunately was not injured. It is a strange, dissatisfied world. agitated, restless, Dean Inge of St, Paul's cathedral in London, most important clergyman, warns his fellows in the church that they must not “ignore the eugenists,” namely those interested in producing better children. Nature does not know anything, ac­ cording to the dean. We have scien­ tific knowledge, and if we don’t use it,, that is" “counted to us for a sin." 'ValueHirstClothiers Men, Young Men ■ and Boy.

There is something in the statement that nature doesn't always function perfectly. Of the first two brothers born on earth by nature's process, Cain and Abel, one killed the other. When you are ill it is, well to know wHat is the matter. Business is ill, with an illness that affects millions of unemployed, as illness of the body affects biltions of cells.* Mr, L, Greenfield, of Santa Bar bara, diagnosing finds the following list of symptoms:' 1. Over-speculation. 2. Fear. * v 3. Loss of confidence in our finan­ cial system. 4. Very low and cautious circula tion of money. 5. Increase.of unemployment by big business methods of “economy." 6. False statements of the Country's condition. What would you add to these symp­ toms? There is something the mat­ ter that nobody understands. This* country fortunately will cure itself this time as it has cured itself often before.

Any- dominion that chooses may abolish the right of Its citizens to appeal to Britain's privy council against her own Supreme court. It is said the British never repea a law, but let it die of its own accord The British rule that a man may beat his wife with a stick no bigger arouiu than his thumb remained long after such beatings had lost public approval One scientist, disliking the idea of making mosey, said when announcing an important discovery: “Thank heav- an, it cannot have any practical use." Probably he was mistaken. Paresis, a disease of the mind, that had always ended fatally, is treated successfully by radio.

There is no threat of aggression in being prepared. The history of this country proves thst it wifi not engage in the piracy of war unless forced to do so. Wall Street reminds you of a baby with the colic. Try as you may, you can't soothe it, or stop its weeping.
