HOOVER AND THE MORATORIUM The nstiea has Re *yes fixed on the Accomplishment of the Hoover edminia^rAtioH xn4 the moratorium plan of handling the war debt between nation*. Thus far France has not been converted but Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon, the nations outstanding financier, is in Faria conducting negotia­ tions. The financial situation in Germany as well as many of the other European countries is desperate. The Hoover plan is meeting with general satisfaction in this country, yet there is some opposition, fearing the one year plan may not be time enough to solve economic troubles. At any rate no government has yet offered what appears to be a better plan and it to'worth a trial, If France does not accept and demands full payment of Germany, all she can do is use armed force and again place as much German territory as she wants under her control. MARRIAGES ON DECREASE IN OHIO According to a federal report marriages are oh the de­ crease in Ohio, especially the past year. The old rule of “two living as cheap as one” evidently did not work during the de­ pression period. Thpre were 6,349 fewer marriages but with the report were informed there were 1,1141 less divorces grant* ed. Some time ago a writer stated city people were not inter­ ested in marriages as in former years due to the cost of living. The young girls in gainful occupation had been divorced from home life and for that reason marriages would continue to de­ cline in cities, taking population into consideration, Taking the ■statement at face value then the rural sections must continue to furnish the coming population of the cities. Such statements may bC true during the days of good times but there has been a steady decline in city population during the depression and a return to the rural sections where,living conditions are much lower. CIGARETTE TAX A POLITICAL F06TBALL Certain politicians as well as tobacco interests are making great out-crys against the cigarette tax imposed by the legisla­ ture last week. Some would have Governor White veto the law but this would deprive the state of much needed revenue to meet state revenue. We have never been attracted by what is known as “nuisance taxes” but this law should stand but the credit be placed.where it belongs. The law was the product of a special tax committee, composed of members: of the legisla­ ture representing both political, parties. The chairman of the taxation committee was Senator Robert Taft, Cincinnati, who is rated a tax expert. He has been given credit for all the classifi­ cation laws and should stand sponsor of the cigarette bill as well. ,■ ' . Once before the legislature the utility interests centered strong support for a cigarette tax to escape, any additional tax­ es on utility companies. Without that silpport the cigarette tax wduld have been defeated. Senator Taft took, the position the utility companies could, not stand additional tax while other in-, terests were singled out for the tax burden. Those who would have Governor White undo by veto what the legislature voted for failed, at the proper time to point out why the utility crowd could have certain utility takes lowered at the expense of other .property in the state. .Governor White should sign the bill with the explanation necessary to inform the public of the why and wherefore of the cigarette ta x ., u % THE RAILROADS AND FREIGH^ INCREASES ».r: - j : - 1 ■ • ’<:cf\ • •' \..r!■ Ar-. -S*>vt•; : „• .*■: ~ , Th« railroads are asking for a fifteen per cent increase in freight rates. The depresiosn has cut down railroad earnings to a point where dividends are not possible. In this respect what about many thousand retail stores, manufacturers and the farmer? The public would willingly agree to increased freight rates if it would bring increased business'to all classes. Thus far manufacturers,mother than those selling to railroads, cannot be convinced the increase asked for will improve general busi­ ness conditions. L. J. Tabor, master of the national Grange in a speech some days ago stated his organization would oppose the increase freight rates before the interstate commerce com­ mission. He claims the farmer is giving a larger-per cent of his income fpr freight than is the manufacturer. * To most business interests there is a-feeling that the rail­ roads h ive not made the best of their opportunity. They have been face to face with a new kind of competition in the bus and truck lines but the growth of that business has been the result of inferior service on the part of railroads. It has been predict­ ed that as late as it is and as popular as the truck service is, the railroads can again get this business by giving the public bet­ ter shipping service. As for passenger service they yet occupy a position to build up Iwsmess but it cannot be done by abolish­ ing service at more reasonable rates. Certain roads are now reducing passenger fares and endeavoring to meet the compe­ tition in the field. There may be a necessity of eliminating part of the so-called extra service but lower passenger fares and . lower freight rates will, attract new business. To do this it may be necessary to change the financial structure but other lines of business are forced to follow this,plan and it is an experiment worth trying on the part of the transportation lines, - h o r s e s & c a w s R everse P hone C harges in o m c i ^ Humbut.DMo E.G.Uhtdwitb.lnc.

Why people that can­ not swim vesture to deep water we do not know and probably no one else unless it is the inviting cootoas* of a plunge, Swimming is wondarfni exercise but there is danger to it un­ less you know how to swim. There is more danger to going into the. water when not feeling good or are over­ heated. No doubt most people ven­ ture in the water and not being fa ­ miliar with the iak6' stream or pool get out to deep water before they fid- ;y realise the danger. Swimming is one of the essential sports tha t should be taught in every school. Young people as a rule have no trouble learn­ ing' to swim but it is not so easy for older- persons. Not only is the life of a beginner a t stake in 'learning to swim-but occasionally an extra good swimmer is drowned by the frantic scramble of the beginner. Swimming is Just as much of an a rt as are most all sports. I t could easily replace one or more of our common, sports in the school requirements,------ -— -- — In speaking of swimming it is to be regretted that Cedarrille has never provided a place for. this sport. Here we have a rock bottom stream with a little protection could be made as pure as any public small stream. In addition we now have a municipal water system to provide water, .With such advantages we can imagine what many another town would have in the way of swimming if all were located as Cedarville is. A small dam west of town near Bridge street would give the proper depth for swimming. We could also have boating. Or we might develop the location about what is known as the “flax” The great prob? lem is finance, how and where to get it. No doubt everybody would- be will* ing but the heart (pocketbook) is weak. If the problem was left to us for settlement we would turn the highschool gymnasium into a ' swim­ ming pool. How does that sound to you? How many of our historians can all us off-banded just what happen'd 100. years ago July 4th? Saturday narks' the 100th anniversary o f the loath of the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe. He von a place to the history of the na­ tion that should: not be forgotten, be­ ing the' author of the famous Monroe Doctrine, * Every so many years we hear of he famous “Bell Buzzard.. This old fird bobbed up last week .down in toyette county on- a farm five miles vest of Washington C. H. Elmer Dav­ is and family saw and heard the- vis­ itor. It has an ordinary sheep bell ♦bout its neck. During *the past 25 years this belled buzzard has been re­ ported throughout the central; States 'rom the Great Lakes to the Gulf. It van accompanied by a number of oth- :r buzzards, none of which paid aby attention to the clatter of the bell. . Did you. ever stop to consider the similarity of statements of Mussolini, Italy's war .lord, and Julius Stone, the .resident and dictator of the Ohio State Board of Trustees? As Musso­ lini regards himself “the state", just 50 does the Mr. Stone, who s'ays just -vhat will be done »t the Q. S. U, and what will not be done. Mussolini so ar retains his-.residence in' his native ■ountry. Mr. Stone hss an American­ ized name and assums dictatorship of Ohio’s big school. As Mussolini is-in * religious fight and controls his sub­ jects with military rule he has issued a statement: “I will send them (chil- iren to communion in a' body on Sun­ day. For that I let the priests work; that’s religion." At the proper age Mussolini orders all youth into the army, With the army that's power and “I am the “State. ’Over a t the University Mr, Stone rules th a t military training, is com­ pulsory. While the pulpit, platform, press and other agencies are plead­ ing for peace, Mr. Stone saya we will have compulsory military training and those that don't like it can leave and others ,objecting can stay away. After all there is not much difference in the ideals of the two men. Musso­ lini will retain his power Just as long as he can keep his subjects in fear of his “black Shirt" army. Unfortunate­ ly for Mr, Stone he can never have control of the young army he would develop* to Ohio. He himself will on­ ly hold his position by crooked pott­ ies. The more power Stone exercises at the University the sooner the Uni­ versity is crushed under an indignant public sentiment. Those who have use of the highways find an unusual number of hitch hik­ ers this year trying to thumb thoir way one direction or another. The average motorists is always kindly disposed to give h lift to those who h*ye the appeafftnee bela^/worthy. In this they a t* taking 'mucii of a chance in th ia la y of holdup*' Tn this state if a motor owner takes up a pas­ senger and in some manner has an ac­ cident, the car owner is more o r leas responsible for damages. Numerous suits have been brought in Ohio on aach grounds, **4 Juri** certain dams#**- M d t * * j MT » a - tmo and w* ara toW rifiwto hum been mada to rafter* motorists of each damages but the legislature baa not been kindly disposed. I t is hinted the legal fraternity would rather leave the matter open as tt Is, probably for business reasons. Whether this is so or not motorists stiU. take the chance—sad as a result many a de­ serving psrson to de«i#d a ride. Con­ necticut baa juet passed a law making it an offense to thumb rides oh the right-of-way. Such a law will work a hardship on many a deserving college lad who baa found it easy to get back and forth without paying a fare. There seems to be a lawn mower thief to this vicinity. Some time ago President McChesney had a fine ball bearing mower taken from its custo; mary storage place. A few days ago Judge S. G. Wright found h it mower was missing. How many more can be reported missing a t this time we do not know. About a year ago the Editor found Ws lawn mower missing from the garage.
