IChildren tike Thin Safe Prescription FRIDAY, MARCH 80, 1931 HENRY FORD OVERSTEPPED HIMSELF There is an old saying- that every man talks too much some time in life. This might be applied at present to a recent state­ ment o f Henry Ford that “ The average man won’t really do a day’s work unless he is caught and cannot get out o f it,” This week Henry issued a press statement relative .to unemployment, economic conditions and the depression, ,In the opinion of most people Henry covered more ground than he probably intended. He ho doubt knows' the manufacturing game with mass production, organization and finance as it relates to his busi­ ness but dealing with a sociological problem is something else. He evidently has misjudged the situation. There may have been times in the past years when men did not want to work all the time but we see nothing unusual about that. As Ford has directed his remarks to the present setting we take him at his spoken word. He is wrong when he says men really do not want work. One o f the most interestingexhibits even given in Ohio was the National Flower Show last week in Cincinnati, It was the first time that city has had the opportunity o f holding such an event as it .must take its turn with sixty other cities. Consequently it is going to be some years before the shows gets back to Ohio. Every kind of flower known evident­ ly was on exhibit. Even flowers that ordinarily do not bloom until mid sum­ mer and fall were found in great num­ bers by exhibitors from all sections of the country, To find hundreds anJ I killed him at Nice, in France, telling hundreds of the most beautiful roses j the police he accused her o f “ haying PROPOSED TAXING HIDDEN WEALTH The special joint taxation committee of the Ohio Legisla­ ture has proposed a tax on bank accounts. One o f the promises under the classification plan was such a tax that we can have relief on real estate. At the hearing before the committee this week some new sidelights on the question were brought out. It has been argued that wealthy people, would be caught with big accounts that are not now taxed, iflre hearing-developed that- wealthy men who have a de­ sire to escape taxation do not need any kind of legislation for they have’the knowledge as to how their money can be handled regardless of any tax law.. The Kentucky classification plan has failed to bring out this kind of hidden wealth. A survey on the part of bankers shows the average commercial account is less than. $100.each day of the year. The average non-commer­ cial account average is less than $50 each day. Thus a tax on bank accounts would catch the poorer citizens while the wealthy can have hundreds of thousands on deposit in New York City or some neighboring state that would not be taxable; It has been said that the largest income tax payer, in Ohio, whose tax is more than a million each year, keeps his bank ac­ count in New York City. It has never been revealed whether he paid any tax on such an amount in that city. Taxing bank accounts may after all place the load-on the small business man or even the farmer. o f all varieties, some with stems more than five feet in length and perfect buds and buds in full bloom, some measuring more than four inches in diameter, were wonders to more than 250,Q00 people that attended the show in Music Hall during the past week. As for gardens there were many of the desired and popular rock gardens with all kinds of rock plants, ferns, evergreens and moss. In addition ENCOURAGING PUBLIC SPENDING One o f the problems confronting state and national leaders as well as citizens in general is how toteurb public expenditures. Each session of Congress finds new demands for public expendi­ tures and states as well as the smaller taxing units face the same problem. * The economist has about definitely come to the conclusion that we raise our governmental and particularly state funds by unseen methods, or what might bettermed the painless route. Tariff duties, corporation taxes'constitute the chief source of government revenue other than income tax, Tariff and corpor­ ation taxes are added to the cost of goods sold and the consum er pays the bill. I f there is a profit above a certain amount the government cuts out another slice and this is reflected in the cost of goods to the consumer. States place heavy taxes on corporations and,frequently join with counties and local taxing districts in taxes on real estate. Real estate passes part o f it to the ranter on that class of property but the land or home owner has no such opportunity, The reason we have much public spending we are told is that only a comparatively few states financially support the government. For instance Massachusetts, New York, New Jer- .sey and Illinois contribute, more income tax to the government than all o f the southern states combined. To bring the same situation home the northern rural counties in Ohio not only con tribute to support of their own schools but are heavily taxed to support the schools in the southern part of the state ip the so- called poor counties. Here we find public school building paid for out of state-aid funds. Teachers in most cases get higher salaries than are paid in Greene county. This is manifestly un . fair under the present Ohio system. It is such a plan that leads to wild spending both by congress, state legislatures and schoo boards that do not directly levy a tax on the property in the dis trict served. \ . There is much contention about the legislature at this time over the cost of our school system and the state department of education is being condemned for methods of operation. Schoo patrons in the state are becoming more interested due to the fact requirements are causing a financial strain in the counties that in the past that have not objected to supporting the schools in poorer counties. We see no great need for disturbing our county school system as a whole at this time. At least no better plan has been offered as yet. Some counties are’ no doubt spending more money than necessary under the county unit plan but it is for the school patrons to right that wrong. The-painless method of collecting tax money is wrong in principle and leads only to conditions about whiph people com­ plain, the constant increase of governmental cost. With tax collections coming more directly from every citizen there is going to be more care exercised by all officials. It has always been our contention that every tax measure whether, city, school, county or state should be subject to the approval of the people. If the electors authorize it there can be no complaint. Governor White was right when he suggested the welfare pro­ gram in Ohio calling for a $25,000,000 bond issue to build new state,prisons and hopsitals should be submitted to a w te of the people for their approval. We have never lost confidence in the judgment of the electorate but somehow politicians and mh- jfcerial interests never.want to give the electors the opportunity of an expression. ftpArBrar Bdibant All That d istort " h d l m Beaus Plan Cancer in Hsus Mexico’s V i a Welcome "Ail that gUstors is not gold,” That ] >S how Shaksspssre has it.

One rock garden was formed from .twenty tons of ' rock trucked from Greene county expressly, for the exhibit. .The wonder of the show is how florists have been able to cultivate flowers to bloom out of season. The well-versed florist knows just when to take up the plant, root or bulb .in sum­ mer or fall. To give it the rest period such as. nature requires it is frozen and kept in cold storage the proper length of time. It is thawed in the earth as nature would do it and then planted in a hot house where every­ thing known in a scientific way is cRlhe. to produce the bloom at the right time. The art of feeding plants by using fertilizer of the right kind is a master piece of work for-the florist. The same cap be said for the care of the lawn for the grass in great plots in the ga’rdens was a perfect piece of work and looked as if so much green velvet had^been placed on the floor. It was not only a wonderful show but .an educational treat. The florist only aided nature-in doing its work on a scientific schedule, much to the gratification of everyone who attended the show.

Creswell is host to a -Federal jury from the Cincinnati Court at the new Netberland Plaxa hotel in that city. The jury is hearing a case wherein a former Cincinnati banker is being tried on charges o f violating the bank­ ing laws. It is one of the newest hotels in the midwest and one o f the finest in the country. Marshal Cres­ well evidently has full swing about the institution. It was our pleasure to take a tour through the hotel by permission of the management. The jury has a special dining room fur­ nished fit for a king and the twelve men serving, there are no women on a federal jury, seated at the table six to a side. Two deputy marshals .sit at one end with Mr. Creswell at the other, as host for the United States Court, The case will probqbly continue another week or three weeks in all. The jury sleeps in single beds six to a room with a deputy marshal, hut the rooms are amply large. Mr. Creswell has a private goom nearby. The Ohio House o f Representatives by almost a unanimous vote on Tues­ day favored the Secrest-Bostwick bill which if passed by the senate and ap­ proved by the governor will provide for a different division of gasoline taxes in Ohio, The state has been taking 62Vi % of the gas tax but under this bill would get only 52%. Rep resentative Secrest, Noble county, made one of the finest speeches on the floor of the House that has been heard this session. It was one that had been carefully prepared and had an appeal for he presented the arguments and facts in support that were convincing. Representative. Bostwick, Madison county, also spoke in support of the measure. As a result counties will get' more money for county roads, townships will have their amount in­ creased and municipalities will also benefit. As could he expected there was some opposition to the bill but it came from outside sources. The material and sup­ ply people as well as contractors had a strong lobby against it, These peo­ ple know full well they will have no opportunity o f getting a slice o f sev­ eral million when road work or street work is handled by the smaller tax­ ing districts. Experience has proven that ourjjtate highway system, espe­ cially under the former administra- been overloaded with office overhead tion, and probably some others, has expense’ by the appointment of poli­ ticians as inspectors and given jobs under various titles, A t present theita is some demand for a legislative in­ vestigation of the highway department during the past few years,find £ all reports are true the state majj be startled by some of the afevetgaons that can be uncovered. In view o f the fact road money has been collected from the motorist it will be interesting to learn just what the investigation can produce. Encouraging news for those study­ ing the world problem o f cancer. In­ vestigators at the Rockefeller Insti­ tute of Medical Research discover that a certain type o f cancer in hens con­ tains its own healing agent. Scientists hope fo r a Similar discovery in the human form o f the disease. When this writer visited the Rocke­ feller institute, with John D. Rocke­ feller, Jr., some time ago to see the famous Doctor Can-el perform an op­ eration for removal of tubercular tis­ sue in the lung, scientists had trans­ planted cancer in a hen to make it grow. At that time transplanting and growth had been successful only once. On the other' hand, scores o f white mice and rats had transplanted can­ cer that had grown bigger than the ] rest o f the animals’ bodies. The fight against cancer is slow, but j sure, and will.be victorious in time. A young Mexican genius, Augusto Novaro, musician and mathematician, has discovered a new. harmony, based on mathematics. His method is com­ plicated, but simpler than Einstein. &ore important, to the world and to ] Mexico, is tits Mexican government’s welcome to a large colony o f Slaves, | presumably Russians, dissatisfied with i the Soviet system o f government. Lands will be provided and Mexico j will'.make them prosperous, while they contribute to Mexican prosperity.. Washington officials say the soldiers’ “ bonus money will soon be spent .for | new goods, little of it spent to' pay old-debts.” We believe that buying new goods I to the extend,of a billion dollars or | thereabouts will do more than any­ thing else could to stimulate prosper­ ity. Paying off old debts would also help. Good news from Europe tells of an increasing demand for automobilis,. which 'Will mean more employment for j workers in the United States. Makers and buyers of automobiles are interested in other news, only ru­ mor as' yet,-which says that one of the big manufacturers wilt deliver cars ] hereafter with no charge for freight | anywhere. This will make a difference to buy­ ers and to manufacturers. The latter | make a considerable profit on freight | charges, running into’ milHons a year, because automobiles are shipped i knocked down, and freight charges are approximately what it would cost | to ship a car- sitting up on its four i wheels. The War department announced the allotment o f $75,060,000 for river and harbor work. The Missouri river gets the largest allocation, more than $6,000,000, This will put a good many"'; men to Work. In the last ten years, India’s popula­ tion bus increased thirty millions, an­ other serious responsibility at the door o f Great Britain, Since the British took control o f India, its population has more than trebled. This increase is due to the British, preventing famines, checking plagues with sanitary measures, in spite of protests by natives, who thought the gods could he appeased by tutting the thrbats Of goats, and spilling the blood on the ground, Britain has also increased Hindu population by preventing marriage of little girls to full-grown men, which does not laud to families, and by improving the water' supply.
