FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1931 LEGALIZING SUNDAY PICTURE SHOWS The proposal to legalise Sunday picture shows in Ohio is drawing an unusual amount of comment over the state. As could be expected the church .element is exerting strong press­ ure against it but the state Senate has already passed the bill by a large majority vote. It is predicted the measure will have stronger opposition in the House but some predict it will be favorably acted upon. The point we wish to stress is the situation created in Ohio by our maner of law enforcement. Some towns and cities make no effort to enforce a law that has been on the books for many years. In addition there seems to be no damend on the part of the people for enforcement in many places where Sunday shows operate. What may be a violation in one town is permitted in others without objection. „ We had the example of dog racing being held illegal in Greene county yet permitted in other counties. We have laws against lottery being advertised by newspapers yet the radio can carry on every questionable scheme imagined. Machine betting on horse races is permitted in some counties and op­ posed in others. How can any state expect concentrated public opinion on law enforcement and observation and each county or munici­ pality doing as it pleases? Not many months ago we had a governor that had served as the head of a state-wide church organization. He made no effort to enforce violation o f Sunday amusement laws or even gambling at race horse tracks but did get .excited about gambling at dog tracks. It is this situation that will probably lejad to repeal of the Sunday amusement law. by Arthur Brisbane Treat Criminals RbUUy Muasdiai’s WMem A Billionth of an lack Two Fighting Machines Clarence Darrow, good lawyer, kind-hearted, exaggerates a little when he says c f criminals: “ The public likes to see them tor­ tured, and guards are anxious to give the public what it wants." That is not accurate. Criminals sometimes torture their victims, *1110 general public does not like torture, Prisoners today have . baseball games, vaudeville shows, radios, and new prisons are planned with separ­ ate rooms, decent beds. Prisoners Bhould be treated humane­ ly, but not made to feel that a crim­ inal is some one to be admired, That is overdoing it.

Chicago is trying to get rid of Mayor Big Bill Thompson, Republican. New York is after her executive, Mayor Jimmy Walker, Democrat. We find some amusement in political press matter appearing relative to the two mayors. The Republicans never have anything to say a- gainst Big Bill but just at present the center fire is directed on Walker, frequently referred to as a “ wise-cracker” theatrical executive. The Democrats find pleasure iiv picking at Thomp­ son and point to Chicago gun-warfare. Thompson in his recent primary campaign won the nomination with all the underworld element sections of the city giving him a big vote.. An effort is being made to “ oust” Walker* which is probably more dope than any sincere effort to disturb political conditions. Thompson said Chicago wanted beer and no mayor that stands for English control will be chosen. The Democratic nominee is o f Polish descent. Walker is probably giving New Yor e City the kind of an administration the people want. It only affords the politi­ cians the chance of fooling the public for Thompson is no better executive than Walker. Nothing more can be said for or against the one than the other.

RUSSIA WILL TRY TO CONTROL WHEAT “ The International Conference among the wheat growing na­ tions of the world in session seem to be getting no place, as yet no report is given the public that indicates all will stand by any program o f reduction o f wheat acerage. The United States is not the only nation that is troubled with wheat crop production. Moderh methods of seeding, harvesting with planting done un­ der scientific rules have .developed a situation that brought a flood of wheat upon the World. “ / Russia is probably more responsible for the .overproduction o f wheat than any other nation. She has cheap land and mil- lionsof acres that are suitable for wheat growing. The land does not require plowing. It takes less wheat per acre for seed ing than in this country. .Wheat stools from twelve to sixteen shoots. No fertilizer is needed. Modern machinery cuts and threshes it and trucks haul it to market. The government at present is in control o f wheat production in that country. The Russian representative at the conference in plain terms stated his country would not reduce wheat acerage but was going to increase it. He says Russia's imports are $500,000,000 greater than their exports and they need the wheat to offset this a- mount. Such a situation does not look well for the future of wheat to American growers. Mussolini talks common sense on the wheat question, asking why the world demands a cut in the wheat acreage “when in the world there are all too many people poverty stricken and grievously distressed." The Italian ruler says that the trou­ ble with whe*t comes not from over­ production, but from underconsump­ tion. . The nations should listen to him, and find a way to distribute among the earth’s 1,600,000/100 the grain pro­ duced by farmers, and at a price prof­ itable to the farmers. Professor Compton, winner of the •Nobel prize irt.physics, shows the' atoms in an electron, separated from each other by one-billionth o f an inch, and, in proportion to their size, as far apart as the earth" and the sun. Until lately it was thought that noth­ ing smaller than the atom, could exist. Now we know that it is a little solar system with a proton, or nucleus in the center, like our sun, and electrons revolving around it, like planets. In the order of bigness, matter'is arranged by Professor Compton as follows: “ Electron, atom, bacterium, gnat, man, mountain, earth, sun, solar system, galactic/ duster, galaxy and known universe," That known universe is so big that it would take light, going 186,000 miles a second, about 600,000,000 yearn to cross from one .side to the others Figure out that distance. And, for all we know, “known uni­ verse" may be merely one little group of cosmic dust in an infinitely bigger universe. Think of “a billionth of-an inch," and thousands o f suns a million Trillion timeB as big as our sun. Undo Sam is building two airplanes that will help us to realize the use­ lessness o f matching troops in future wars. Each o f the planes, called ‘hedge-hoppers," will carry five ma­ chine guns, to “ spray" marching sol­ diers with bullets, while' flying^ fifty feet above ground. In addition to machine guns* each plane will carry 500 pounds of bombs. Are you-taking golf lessons ? Pay­ ing some professional to tell you what to do with your head, arms, -wrists, feet, knees, eyes and club? - Learn that you may have to take those lessons all over again. Slow- motion “ movies" o f the great Bobby Tones and the beautiful Joyce Weth- ored in action show that these great golfers do not “ break their wrists on the back swing" until very late in the swing. And Jones the Great hesitates at the top of his swing, shifts his body and gets planted before he brings the dubhead down. Theory arid practice are far apart in g d f and in all education. . “Ingratitude, thou marble-hearted fiend," poor Mr. Gandhi of India knows all about you now. He worked, slaved, starved in prison, endured days of silence, which must be hard for a man full of ideas, risked his life a thousand times, gladly. Then he arranged a truce with the British government, the British hanged three Hindus, and some of Gandhi’s followers tried to kill him. Now he will quit, if the Indian con­ f e s s does not take his advice. He is disgusted to see Hindus and Moham­ medans murdering each other in India the British looking on, careful not to smile, Gandhi will learn what others learned long ago, since and) before the days o f the Gracchi—that it is noble to try to help people, but usually does not pay. You cannot please everybody. Advanced thinkers in Europe,' led by Briand of France) wanted a United States o f Europe to tear down cus­ toms barriers between different na­ tions and create a great European United States, all states trading free­ ly with each other. Germany said, “All right, we shall start with Austria," and planned a trade agreement in accordance with United State of Europe ideas, making Germany and Austria the nucleus. “ Net at all," said France’, and “ Not at all," the other nations. “We don’t want you to do that," So the United States o f Europe is under ii cloud. The wealth o f this country, accord­ ing to the Industrial Conference board, has increased 82 percent since 1914, Now we own in all 9861800,000,000, about f2,977 for. each o f the 128,000,* 000 Americans, The joint legislative committee has finally drafted a biil.covering the tax­ ation o f automobiles and trucks. There will be no personal tax return as has been the custom for many years, some o f whom have paid the. tax, others not.' To* offset the loss of the personal tax a higher fee for license tags will be provided. .Cars weighing less than 2,000 pounds the tax will he raised from $4 to 86. The highest rate will be 60c per hundred for cara oyer 4,000 ponds. Truck rates will range from 70 cents per hundred ?or 2,000 pounds to 51.75 for trucks weighing over 9,000 pounds. Two hills have been agreed upon in he legislature relatives to redistrict- Ing the state for congressional pur­ poses. One by .the.senate and the oth­ er by the house. I f acted upon by each house thefe must he a joint confer­ ence committee to agree on one bill. Greene:.county is listed in the senate bill with- Franklin, Pickaway, Madi­ son, Fayette, Ross and Pike counties. There are suspicions the district will be close to wet yet Republican by a mfe vote in ordinary years. The growth of the rock garden idea the past two years is. reaching enor­ mous proportions. A lawn is not up to date today unless there is . the rock garden. In the cities such appeal tc avlers o f flowers yet there is no ren- son why. Cedarville should not have some, of the payst beautiful rock gar­ dens to be found in Ohio, Many thous­ and o f tons o f certain formations of rock' have, been taken from the Taylor cliffs the past few years for city gar­ dens. During the National Flower Show in Cincinnati a few weeks ago we found a model rock garden that had twenty tons o f Cedarville rock that had been trucked to that city for the big show,- The proposed garden clqb here s j i o ^ be interested In this movement. ,,, / Those who have occasion to drive to Columbus had better use caution and closely observe all automobile traffic aws to avert danger. There have been twenty-nine deaths from auto acci­ dent thus far this year to say nothing o f a few hundred injured. Some drastic action is necessary to protect the public but the great danger is in the large cities and there' most of the accidents happen. Some time ago it was proposed to have a driver’s li­ cense laUr tocu rb accidents. Our ob­ jection to thdf law was the division of the fees, yet the bill had some real merit. One trouble is what laws we now hayp are not enforced but city of­ ficials in Columbus wilt now hold manslaughter against the driver ' if a life is taken and assault and battery on lesser charges with prison senten ces. This will read as if teeth were already in the Ohio laws concerning auto driving regulations. In * . * Columbus! 1000 Baths 1000 Rooms . »' .
