FRIDAY, JUNE 5,1981. OF WHAT AGE DOES MR STONE COME FROM 7 I d a a;f< The controversy among three thousand students and part o f the faculty with the Board o f Trustees ctf OfafoRtatie tlnlver- sity, involves more than the problem o f compakwry or optional military training. Some .weeks ago the board approved option­ al military training, but from unseen quarters same preaeure on that board to reconsider—and reconsider it did, restoring mili­ tary training for first and second year male students. We are not concerned about the problem o f military training for it is a debatable question with probably no chancy o f settlement at the present time. The Ohio State University is a state owned educational in­ stitution fo r which the tax payers are called upon to support at a cost o f about nine million dollars each year, -according-to appropriations by the legislature. The public by reason o f shav­ ing to pay such an enormous sqm o f money each year certainly has some right in expression as to approval or disapproval of the acts o f the board o f trustees. Their appointmexit giVea them broad powers o f management in governing the institution but there is no law that gives them the right to tell the citixenzhip o f Ohio what it can, must or will do. The board for many years is said to have been a one man institution and no member dared go counter with his wkhesand desires. The time has now arrived when Ohio citixens will de­ mand that the other members o f the board exert their^rights in accordance with the desires o f Ohioans, whether -they suit the Mr. Stone or not. I f these members cannot act,on their ownin i­ tiative fearing the “ big boss” they should offer* their reaigna- tionstoGovernorWhite. IfM r.S tonecon tim »s '±0 4Me,theiin- American methods he has adopted from his m 0 tfa*r country,:he should he removed by Governor White at once. The name the board member, “ Mr. Stone” goes under and isdiis]legal title in this country, is far from what, the parental fam ily name was. When “ Mr. Stone” makes public a statement credited to him in reference to military training, that faculty and.students, can leave and those that do' not l|ke it can stayawAy, he is thrusting insult at an intelligent Ohio citizenship. Ohio/has put to rout more than one dictator, political and otherwise, and it is certain Ohioans will have no dictator o f .European descent, telling the people what they can or cannot do witmtheir,own in­ stitution. From all reports Mr. Stone has uae^.bludgeon meth­ ods in controlling the university board, but an outraged Ohio citizenship will accept his European challange any dime and any place. .. aato ,to tax next a“‘TT*MT Tftlltn n w ir t r ©nt ! tm ongaaeKne in addition *o*he tax atahsame aol- larting now, WkatiearUri* piece o f nawads y afeotnetor » t the motorist might as well be ih e goat oneemom.

It has al­ so been held that an income could not be taxed bat once and for that reason Ohio might be wasting time giving it consideration.

The incentive for the editorial has been the report o f the Ohio Senate Committee on Highways investigating road building. The Committee finds that a very costly road built last year under the world’s greatest “ business administration” is deteriorating so fast that repairs are needed /this year. This of course should interest the motorist who is called upon to foot the bill both for construction and repair out o f gasoline tax.and motor, license funds. For years.it has been a.recognized fa ct that Ohio paid more per-m ilefor the same kind o f hard surface highways than did neighboring states, taking into consideration the geographic outlay o f the country through which the roads were built. This should not be and by proper inspection and management we should have just as good roads in the way o f finished product as other states. When it comes to materials for road building we have «1 ways had our preference, and the choice was based on what we regarded as.the best over a long period o f years. However it must be takeh into consideration that quality o f workmanship is just as Important, and probably-more so , than material used, yet a good job cannot be put down even by an honest contractor, unless he uses the best o f materials. In road building there are four .materials in general use : brick;; which undoubtedly takes the lead for long life and hard use, eepient, macadam and asphalt When this village first considered hard surface paving, all the material interests made effort to show their particular kind was the best. We supported brick because if it was properly laid it should outwear any oth­ er material. The village officials made choice o f brick fo r the Main street paving largely at the solicitation o f the property owners that had to pay the major portion o f the cost. That no mistake was made in choice is proveh after fifteen years o f test -and no expense required fo r .upkeep. The street daily takes care o f the heavy traffic over state Route 42, which includes a long list o f commercial trucks that each carry the maximum tonage and more. / The cement road considering cost should last longer than it does. If it is not the quality o f cement used, or the proper; mixture, it must be poor workmanship. We are not saying that all cement roads break up the first year r or do we say that all brick roads hold up. No doubt where each are.put down prop­ erly they will stand the test but we are forced to the conclusion] that in the long run the brick road is the cheapest. Asphalt or macadam roads cannot be classed with either brick or cement owing to upkeep but for roads that carry only normal traffic the macadam should take tnrecedent. It would be out o f the question for motorists to - finance all roads with! brick or cement. Experience locally is what we base our opin­ ion on aiid for the main roads brick with the proper base should be a saving over a period o f years in the country just as it has been not only in this village but most cities. The Gazette editorial concludes with the following which we endorse: “ The senate committee and its board o f experts should be able to throw some light on this and if they do, we may get the answer in better built roads for less money and that means more miles fpr the same amount o f money we now spend and less outlay for maintenance. That is what we are aiming at and that is what we in Ohio are entitled to have.” The great trouble in Ohio in past years has been the “ log­ rolling” on the part o f material interests and contractors. No doubt politics has played its part and some other organization leaders have profited in urging this or that material for road purposes. In road building circles it has been an undisputed fact the cement interests were paying, a prominent farm leader a high salary to boost their cause along with his duties o f look­ ing after farm interests. It is the more remarkable that this same farm leader is charged with accepting a $2,600 fee from the proponents o f classification to espouse their cause, when he had a year or so previously opposed classification. Probably such situations as this makes it impossible for motorists to get the proper grade o f material or the right kind o f workmanship for our highways. The Senate Committee might delve into this feature o f the situation, New York.will proviSe “s « r p**tolB” for .its police-force, nxall oMOghvfor the.pocket, .oss osrtrMaes^ttst incapacitate-the person ot wbom they are iired.

The Germans, with 60,000 looking on,launched their first so-called “ pock­ et” cruiserra fighting ship withwhich Germans demonstrate their superior engineering and .military intelligence, (t is a small vessel, much smallerthan some that France and the United Stater «*• bonding, bat far aaperior n every why. A -great number o f small compartments enable the new cruiser, named Deutschland, to resist the discharge of several torpedoes or mines. Six 11-inch guns, mounted in armored triple turrets, have a ramge of 17smiles, This German ship could destroy every existing 10,000 ton cruiser, including United States and French cruisers, with no danger to herself. With Diesel engines, the new German fighting unit, more -brilliantly, designed than any in the world, baa a cruising range of 10,000 miles. We have the money, and France won the victory, but Germany seems to have the brains, in this case, most import-l ant of all. Saturday was /ncemorial day in -nu­ merous ways and for many people in unusual ways. First it was'Memor­ ial Day in observance of service rend- dered this country by those who have gpne.over. "The press reports say that thirty lives were lost in Ohio on that day; from auto accidents to drowning. This brings Memorial Day closer to scores o f famiHel"; lit is peesiMe that most of these lives were taken by their own carelessness or that o f oth­ ers. It only goes to prove that we as American citizeas -have too low a val- je on haman life .today. .The important news, news import-i ant 1,000 years hence, is that of .a really fast railroad train, designed by Professor Wiesinger, in Switzerland* Its coaches, made of light aluminum'* will weigh only- three tons each, and will be driven by airplane propellers, will travel 223 miles ar hour. Such a train would take passengers from New York to San Francisco in 14 hours. You will get such trains in the United States eventually. 01 Williams, one of the finest young American flyers, recently of the American navy, said: “The United States talks fast mid flies slowly. England flies fast and talks slowly." Britain holds All the speed records that have any real meaning, the air plane record, 857 miles p«r hour; the automobile record, 246 miles; the mo- torboat record of over KM) miles, and motorcycle record of ever 160 miles. And they have,achieved these records in “hard times." The British manage to do what they have to do.

The French meohanic unable to find work at his trade, ge*s to work on the farm of an Uncle or other relative. More than abc million Frenchmen own the land for -which -they recently fought to well, Andrew Mellon, Secretary o f the Treasury, reports’that the federal government will close the year with a billion dollar deficit. Translated it means that Uncle Sam will spend a billion more dollars than anticipated revenue. You will notice the fed­ eral government now talks in billions while the Ohio state gov­ ernment deals in millions. We are still in the order o f big deal­ ing regardless o f times but these figures o f course are entered in red ink. Uncle Sam has depended on income taxee largely for revenue but the Grundy tariff and many other causes that might be mentioned has withered Incomes as i f a drougth had been at its worst.
