FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1931. MOTORISTS ARE NOW PAYING ENOUGH With the investigation of the highway department, a for­ mer administration, and the present which has had a duration of only a few months, the average motorist on the face of devel­ opments, should conclude that both license tags and gasoline tax are producing more money than is necessary for road up­ keep and improvement. It has just come to light through the investigation that money from gasoline taxes has been used to fit up very expensive quarters at Sidney for certain division road officials. Marble stairs, drapperies costing about $1,000, oil paintings of the officials on the walls, expensive gasolinfe heating plant, as well as other expensive appointments, is the- story of how the motorists' money has been squandered. For months stories have been in circulation as to certain lumber deals in the highway department and how the leading lumber dealers would not even submit bids, after knowing how things were manipulated. Quality seems to have been the last thing necessary to get an order according to Findley M, Tor­ rence, Xenia, Secretary of the Ohio Retail Lumber Dealers As­ sociation, Stories how one small town automobile tire dealer was able to outbid the big manufacturers in Akron have been in circulation for months. The order amounted to many thousand dollars and standard made tires were specified. The manufac­ turers failed to get the order but the small dealer secured the contract and had to place his order for tires with the manufac­ turers that had been underbid. The. solution is that the tire deal­ er had to charge the department for two tires and deliver one. Matenals“forToadbtiilding"hadcertain_spo(rffi^catronsthat permitted only favored manufacturers or agents to bid. The motorist has been the victim of crooked dealing in road build­ ing and already enough millions have been collected in gasoline tax to pave with good material every important road in the state, ..... The legislature now proposes to about double the cost o f license tags to get more money, Itn’t it about time to call aA halt on the manner of public spending? How many citizens in Greene county Lave laid before a member of the legislature his or herpersonal view on the tax problem now up for consid­ eration? How fhany have given expression to your represen­ tative or senator that the tax bill now in formation should carry a l-eferendum clause? If you have not so informed your repre­ sentative and senator, or. the joint tax committee, you can have no co'mplaint, if something is put over you do not like. - horses &COWS __ O F S I Z E r everse P hone C harges _ ........

S31 Announcement that the “ Three C’1 highway is to be closed for several months should mean more traffic over route 42 between Cincinnati and Col­ umbus and Cleveland. This will give Cedarville garages, oil stations and restaurants an opportunity of more patronage during the summer from tourist traffic. The road which is usu­ ally subject to heavy travel will he closed at Melvin, Sabina, Madison Mills and Grove City. This will be welcome news in^his vicinity. The Art Gravure Section o f the Sunday Enquirer contains a picture or notables at a banquet the the new­ est hotel in Cincinnati,^the Netherland Plaza. The banquet was in honor of Governor Sampson of Kentucky who presented Joseph Reichl, president of the hotel, an honorary colonel on the Governor’s staff. Among the notables including prominent public officials, Cincinnati merchants and othera was United States Marshal Paul H. Cres- well, formerly of this place,. The U. S. Marshal looked quite “ at home” in his "soup and fish” . A new. law has gone into effect o f interest to fishers and conservation officers are warning sportsmen that it must be observed. The limit on crappies has been reduced to 25 per day. The size limit is six inches, No more than two days catch is permitted to be -in the angler’s posession without violation of the law. The limit on black bass is now 12 a day and the size has been reduced to 11 inches.. It is expected the law will greatly in­ crease the .supply of fish in Ohio wat­ ers. ..............................iiiitHitti|piiniMiiiiitmniiiiitiiimiiHiMitiuHtmiiiiitmiiHiMmimiimimiimtiMiiiit»fiiaMi«mHmi f Before marketing your live stock call I THE SOUTH CHARLESTON STOCK YARDS I ” .

A news dispatch says that farmers throughout the middle west are plow­ ing up their fields of winter wheat rather than go with a losing venture. It is held the price of wheat cannot be much above fifty cents a bushel and some say that Texas wheat cannot be contracted 1now for more than forty cents a bushel. Farmers plowing up their wheat will plant corn and this vast acerage going into corn means an unusual crop if conditions are at ail favorable. This will bring down the price of com to low levels What to plant ‘on farm acerage for a fair re­ turn is a problem no one is now able to solve. How to get orders for more business is bothering manufacturers. How to get a job is what the laborer faces. IIow to return business condi­ tions to a normal state over the world is what we all want to know! Times may be hard and money is tight but from the crowd of people at the air show at Fairfield Sunday one could not. help but think conditions were at least normal. The crowd was estimated at 200,000 and it was lined on the hillsides, on the pikes and all points of advantage for sight seeing for many miles. It is estimated that forty thousand automobiles, many of them from distant states, .were park­ ed between Dayton nhd Fairfield. If you allow each machines five gallons of gasoline for an average, it cost tne motorists $68,000 for fuel to say noth­ ing for oil and tires. The aii- exhibit brought about nu­ merous comments in the big crowd as why it was held. Of course the gov­ ernment staged the show as a train­ ing for pilots. There were many war fighting planes and peace advocates could not see the idea of spending so much money that Way. The manu­ facturers of air craft could sanction the exhibit as a means of stimulating public confidence in air travel. It re mained for; one spectator to express himself that the whole air show was a Standard Oil Company war. This no doubt came from the fact that this company had fifty big tank trucks busy hauling gasoline for use in the planes. During the exhibit there were mors than 13,000 "aliens of "asolins used each day. If that amount is cor­ rect it is safe to say that Uncle Sam did not pay the consumers price of 17 cents a gallon. — '.ijji.i.ju.

The boast during the classification campaign was that enough intangible wealth could be uncovered to provide enough revenue for all taxing districts. We were much surprised to learn when admission was made from the floor that holders o f stock in corporations out of the state could not be taxed. There was discussion over insur­ ance annuities that will be subject to tax under the new bill and represen­ tatives of insurance companies were on hand to guard the interest of pol­ icy holders.

Two different bills have beeri intro­ duced providing for income taxes. One speaker read a section of the last Democratic platform which de­ clared against a state income tax law. A part of Governor White’s campaign speech against such a law and his message to the legislature opposing such a tax was read. The Republican platform was read covering that sub- ject but it only mentioned taxing in­ tangible property. Gov. White has stated more than once that he was op­ posed to a state income tax. One o f the bills provides for income taxes graduated from the first $2,000 at one per cent to 5 per cent on all over $8,000. Exemptions would be single persons, $1,000 -and married $2,500 with $£00 each for minors. The. second bill would tax incomes starting- at $2,000 at one per cent up to five per cent over $5,000. Exemp­ tions would be $750 for single persons and $1,500 for married with $200 for each minor. Wages, trades, profes­ sions and business would be taxed on rates above stated. This proposal is said to be backed by rural interests but there will be few farmers but what will be caught for the reason the average farm family cannot be maintained now under the minimum There will be no deductions such as MONEY LOCJ Don't fo Saturday, For Her Modem, Grouse.

A. ALLEN There's one tor every purpons CEDARVILLE, O. The farmer should take encourage­ ment from reading the head lines on the financial pages. The farmer has his troubles with low markets for sell­ ing his crops and live stock but take a look at some of the headlines in Monday’s papers:- “ U. S. Steel drops to $99 (i share, the lowest since 1924”: “ Curb Slocks Weaker". “ Chain Store Sales from 51 systems drop 56 mil­ lion dollars in four months.’’ “ Chain Store Stocks drop following Supreme Court decision.” Such news as the a- hove headlines indicate gives almost every line of business more trouble, With the drop in the stock market goes many millions in dollars to hold­ ers of stock. Having stock of com­ mercial companies or manufacturing concerns on a down ,market is like having fat cattle in the feed lot with j price dropping. The “readjustment” ] is now reaching more than the far­ mers—every business, oven the boot logger, finds sales slowing tip.
