If some o f the extra profit that went into the hands o f real es­ tate speculators who held options and some o f the excess fee al­ lowed the Cincinnati architect, the Georgia marble graft elimi­ nated and Ohio sandstone used, there would be ample funds to complete the building. When it comes to an architect drawing nearly one third o f a million dollars for plans o f the proposed building, the Senate Committe should shut up shot and let the building commission complete the job as best they can,- The whojle proposition should be frowned upon by ta xpayers. The Building should be dedicated as "Cooper’s Folly” ., a dream o f Columbus and Cincinnati politicians; This week the public gets a report from Gilbert H. Bettman, attorney general, showing how $330,000 has been saved in the purchase o f the site which he says >only cost $1,700,000. The attorney general is a clever politician and a product o f the old Cincinnati gang; that usually knows just how to handle the pub­ lic. W e take Mr. Bettman’s statement fo r what it says about the $330,000 saving to Ohio taxpayers. We would father hear from some o f the former, property owners as t o what they act­ ually received-so that a check up could be .made to know the profit the speculators and. leaseholders made. Senator Nichols should continue to press his investigation that Ohioans would know the whole o f the1' inside story, in connection with the pur­ chase o f the site and the letting o f -the - contract fo r marble at several hundred thousand over Qhio aandstone, When all the inside o f the state.ofTice building affairs are made public.then will it be time for probably another statement from Attorney General Bettman. ' ’ . . A HOT SHOT FIRED IN TAXATION MUDDLE . It was a shot on Fort Sumptor that brought on the Civil war but it created.no more o f a stir to the nation than a "shot” from George V. Sheridan, Executive Secretary o f the Ohio Council o f Retail Merchants, did when! let loose a rapid firing gun before the Special Joint Legislative Tax Committee that is holding public hearings and* authorized to draw up one or more tax laws to be submitted to the legislature on Many 11. -The hearings have developed into a. dialogue program for hearing special pleadings for certain. Interests seeking favors .When a representative o f the Ohio Chamber o f Commerce stat- ed that Ohio public utility interests could not stand additional taxation, due to the depression, matters ' soon came to a head and it took the astute, level headed and Tar seeing Executive Secretary just a few minutes to stop proceedings and sound an ;atarm that carried a report loud enogh to reach Fort Sumpter. Mr. Sheridan stated Ohio retail business ^men were willing to stand their share o f the cost o f state government and asked ho special favors. He dignified his peppy talk with the.statement i f matters proceeded as they *were there -was" sure to be a tax jpam o in i032 .> 1 < ■Since the Sheridan shell-fire things have cooled down and . afteei*l'i»terests may Be devoting their time ,to under-cover ' wOTkk The Ohio utility company, have as much right to share the bp&en o f state cost as the farmer, the banker or the retail merchant, Since the remark that.favor should be shown utility interests there has been much comment,aBout, these companies how having two separate and distinct valuations, one fo r taxing purposes and the other for rate making. With some o f the com­ panies. there is' a difference o f’ several million dollars between the tw o valuations. The farmer cannot haVe 1fto o valuations, neither can the manufacturer, banker .or home owner. RAILROAD MANAGEMENT BLUNDERS; TRUCKS GAIN As scores o f heavy laiden tracks pass through here each day on regular schedule one cannot help b.ut wonder what rail­ road management is thinking about. Regardless o f the fact all railroads are operating under handicap due to business condi- tions, yet truck service seems,to be Onthe increase, and most of it at the expenSe o f the automobile public. The damage to high­ ways from heavy trucks is considerable and the motor public is keeping up a right o f way for their operation, their license fees being comparatively small fo r the revenue gained. There is a reason for the growth o f truck use and that is the extremely poor service offered by the railroad companies on all kind o f freight shipments. Unless it be in car lots. Even ship­ ment o f live stock to market by truck to points as far away as Pittsburgh is gaining and we are informed this is due to poor service. Locally the Pennsylvania erected ' the most modern shipping yards on this division. The' improvement along this line is all shippers can ask but train service has not always been satisfactory. Live stock cannot be loaded in the morning and left standing until night time without &loss to the feeder. As a result some hogs are being trucked to distant points and the railroads arc loosing the business; Not only is live stock being trucked but much o f the mer­ chandise received by local merchants comes by way o f truck because former shipments have been two or three weeks in ar­ riving when only a few years ago the railroads were able to de­ liver in .that many days. It is evident railroad management is at fault and the shipping public has turned to the truck for the desired sendee. We noticed some figures oil live stock shipping by truck to Cincinnati and Cleveland the past year, Thirty nine per cent o f all stock received at Cincinnati and 29 per cent at Cleveland, these figures being quite a gain aver the previous year. The railroads are suffering at the present time more from bad management than from anythingelse. I f the shipping pub­ lic cannot get reasonable rail service there |s nothing else to do than use trucks. Locally our freight service cannot be compar­ ed With what we had twenty-five years ago.

He, believed to oe a direct descendant o f Gautama, a known officially at "supreme arbiter if the ebb and flow o f the tide.” That >a a heavy load of responsibility. His lueen’s title is “ glorious lady o f God." And she carriej ihe magnificent name modestly and gracefully. Her name is Rambai, Barni, the king has no other wife. Hi* grandfather had 600 Wives, 134 eon* end 236 daughters. That makes a good many descendants for Gautama, who left his father’s palace when his first baby was bom. There are more followers o f Gau­ tama, known as Buddah, today than o f .any other- religion, and all they ask .s "Nirvana,V which means ‘San end to consciousness, eternal rest and seems .-other a dull reward. Niarana, it is said comes from the word “Nibutta,” meaning happy. Once as the young prince passed through a gateway t young girl called out ‘‘Nibutta, Nibu1> ta.” Gautama remembered tl^at. Our wise young visitor, King Prajadhipok will attain Nirana more rapidly than others, presumably on acount o f his ancestor, who will be anxious to see him. But he seems in no hurry about it, and comes here to consult Ameri­ can doctors and surgeons. May he find all that he seeks. Sir James Jeans, British astronomer, psysicist and mathematician, arrived .a New York, bound for Mount Wil­ son, Calif. On May 20 he will be in Philadelphia to receive the Franklin medal, highest award for physical'sci­ ences in the United‘States, It is-fioped the nation will indicate knowledge of the fact that Jeans is here, and be at least as mtfch interested as it would be in the arrival of another giant man primo .Camera, or somebody with a oig title and a small brain. The difference between Jeans and the average man is tha difference be­ tween an eagle and a hen.. The hep Knows about her barnyard. The eagle ..nows many, mountain ranges. The average citizen knows this little earth .can knows the universe. Every intel- .igent man should read his books, •The Mysterious Universe,” "The Jniverse Around >Us” and others, dead those books and you will know something abopt the universe in.Which you and your solar; system are like grain of sand.

S. tnd our reserve bank is straggling "to nirb the gold influx.” Shipping gold (ere improves Europe’s financial con­ dition, raising the exchange value of .he pound and the franc. Explain that f you can. It is like the old idea of deeding a man to cure his disease. The Federal Reserve Bank o f New fork reduces its bill-buying rates to (he lowest levels in history to stop the jtold influx, forcing dealers in bank­ ers’ acceptances to stash their rates, ind.indicating a cut in rediscount rate All this Is pleasant for those who bor­ row money on call to do their specu­ lating. It makes you wonder what ’finance and the gold standard" really mean. Friends in Europe are realizing that Americana can rsslly fly.

Hawks flaw the dietance in lees than half of that time, 6 hours and 20 minutes, Wa decide to recognize the new gov­ ernment of Spain, Our ambassador at Madrid made a polite bow at the Spanish foreign office. Nobody knows how long the new republic will stand and nobody knejv how long our repub­ lic would stand when we invited King George out of the country. The least it seems, that one republic can do is to recognize another and try to look happy about it, Russians take a good many things seriously to which we pay compara­ tively little attention here. Some 99,- 610 have been expelled from the Bol­ shevik party, some because they are -'immoral,” others because they are friends of Trotsky. If yon are cheat­ ing the govamment in Russia, they stand you up and shoot you down. If you commit murder, they send you to Jail for ten years. In this country, if you cheat tha govamment, you often go to;Europe on a yatch. Yon always do if you cheat on a big enough scale.

The very fact that s', Jew held such an office under the hated Romans would make him ex* tremeiy unpopular. Then, sines he .was rich, It was avldent that he had practiced extortion In collecting taxes.

This la always tha case, whan daalre la stirred up In a heart to see Jeans, Jeaua Is seeking that out. When Jeans saw him ho commanded him to coma down from tbo trot and declared hli Intention to, go homo with, him, Joans called him by name, but did not uttor a word'which would humiliate Zaechseus. Jesus knew his heart's de­ sire and dealt with him accordingly. All souls who earaettly seek Jesus shall ha found of him, Zacchacua quickly responded. He came dawn, and with Joy received Jesus.
