The committee in session last week began to strike “ pay dirt" and it was not long until friction developed in the committee and it went into a "huddle” or executive session. It is hinted the chairman o f the committee then made known attempts were being made to halt the progress o f the wbrk. Not a member o f the committee made known publically what had happened but it reamined fo r the chairman to let loose the alleged bribery story 'and at once members o f the committee that must bave friends that need protection, began to throw cold water on the purpose o f the investigation. A 8150,000 bribe offer figures in the scandal. The future action o f the individual members o f the committee,will be the guidance fo r citizens to form their own conclusions. The more explanation the worse it is going to be fo r the committee members that do not show a tendency to proceed with the investigation.. It developed last week the state paid 88,500 for an old fac­ tory building for a garage and later improved it to the extent o f.80,500. The property was on the tax duplicate for $800 and the building listed aBworthless^ The committee has all the ear marks o f being a political minded outfit, regardless o f party ' lines. The owner o f the old factory building was before the - committee for questioning. Enough was brought out to black- . enthe Cooper administration. The.Republican politiciansnow have.no use for Cooper, generally speaking, fearing he has no - chance at.nomination or election, The Republicans in the legis- latur also took the same .attitude in refusing to provide fo r the 84,p00,000 deficit the former governor left. ’ - Going back to the owner o f the Troy property, not a raem- ' her o f the investigating Committee asked him how much,money he actually received for his property. It-is said he was,on the stand with figures and memoranda ready to tell the whole af­ fair and even who received the difference. But the Democratic members let it pass,. The Republican members did not want to 'expose the graft but had the Democratic members made a move in that direction, a similar 4e*l in Piqua under a former Demo­ cratic administration would be opened up. The grafters, Republican and Democratic, are not going to permit the lid to be lifted in the.present investigation-if,they can help it. A good sport along that line may be sore at loos­ ing his opportunity to*mulch the state*, blit be grins and bears it until he once more has the chance, and then ge makes up for what he had not previously received. The situation now with those interested— “ United we stand— or divided we all fall.” I f the inembers o f the investigation' committee want to brand themselves as traitors and line up in Support o f wrong doing, it is up to them. - There are enough men in Ohio perfectly ac­ quainted with the past methods o f the highway department, to inform-the people. There have been enough honest busi- . nessmen turned down on state contracts to make things per­ fectly clear to the average citizen, that methods in the high- ... Way department have been rotten, for several years and motor­ car owners have been forced to provide the funds through the gasoline tax and high license fees. The public should have more interest in the conduct o f the members o f the present Highway Investigating Committee for there ismow some evidence that a *few stand .with whitewash brush in hand to cover up and per­ mit the grafters to continue to ply their trade.

The re­ cant talk o f B. A . Aughinbaugh, former State Supervisor o f Vis­ ual Instruction, before the Rotary Club, outlined these, and a- mong them are things which the most inveterate Buckeye tour­ ist probably has not seen. There’s Captina Valley in Belmont County, for example, which artists call the most beautiful val­ ley in the State. "The four comers o f the earth have no richer natural gems;” said the speaker; “ than the mural grottoes and romantic glens o f Hocking County,” Six o f the .country’s ten great prehistoric earthworks are situated in Ohio. In Colum­ biana County the monument which marks John*Morgan’s cap­ tu re marks also the Confederacy’s farthest north in the Civil War. Buckeye Station at Manchester is. the first house built o f planed lumber in Ohio. The only remaining blockhouse is at ManBfield. There is a Mormon temple at Kirtland, Lake Coun­ ty. Chillicothe has the State’s only national park. ' * Ohio gave the nation the phrase O K, gave the South its war song ofD ixie, gave the North its great commander, Grant, gave literature the Baconian Theory, gave the world the Edison incandescent electric light and the Brush arc light, and taught the generations the three Rs through the textbooks o f McGuf- fey, Ray, Spencer and Harvey, who were its sons. Incidentally one-fourth o f all American Presidents were also its sons. Travel either over its roads or into its past and you find something worth knowing. ; —-Cincinnati Times-Star. COLLEGE EDUCATION NEEDED BY ALL Now that we are hearing the time for the opening o f col­ leges and schools some sober reflection on the needs o f a col­ lege education should be stressed. With some it might appear that a college education is useless under present conditions. It might be said the teaching profession Is over crowded. The same might be said o f the ministry, law or medicine. We can go in commercial fields and find an overcrowded condition for Stenographers, bookkeepers, accountanants, engineers and a score other lines might be mentioned. But that is no reason why a boy or girl should not have a college education. Because these lines are overcrowded today does not mean they will al­ ways be thus. The duty of parents is to prepare sons and daughters now forth® future and be ready when positions are open. Girls might become house maids and cooks and boys day labors but there is now an over supply. The education that should be stressed is what,is known as the liberal arts course which prepares the student fo r any other profession he should choose to take up later. With the liberal arts course the student has the foundation for other work. It Is just as important towards broadening the student as the rule o f the three Rs to the pupil in common school. -T o wait until economic conditions improve may wr too late. The progress o f education, if results are to be obtained, must be with the nat­ ural progress and development o f the student towards matur­ ity , There is going to be few places open in any class in the fu­ ture to those Who do not have the completed liberal arts course, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS PROTECTING EVERYONE These are the days when financial institutions are put to the test from every angle, To those who are not famllure with safe banking rules, loan association# in cluded^ may appear as if the institutions w en working a hardship on not only business bat individuals, The best head o f a financial institution is not the fellow that tries to please everyone. The rules he enforces may not bring much praise from citizens generally but by these, rules he hr protecting his institution and that means depositors and stockholders are protected. There are time# when it is not safe to make a loan to anyone and iM# does net need to reflect on the institution, It should be the means* o f impressing the de­ positor that the institution is following a safe ecwrwe. No doubt many banka that have been forced to suspend have not applied tile rigid rale# concerning loan*. Many person# that have in tire part withdraw money and lost it in some venture wish such * rule had been in force then so they could not have taken it out* Wrecklet# withdrawal# a# well a# wreeklesa loaning are dangerous to depositor# and financial institution#. g«n*tor g.

So hia homo, through personal efforts. Times are improving verything is on the up-grade if we tike the in­ crease in the pride of gasoline last week~an»n Indication,—The major companies jumped ,the price/another cent per gallon in the state. Previous to the raise the rural counties were paying more for gasoline than the metropolitan counties. Today the price of the different grades Of gas­ oline are two cents higher in the rur­ al counties than the larger counties. Probably tbe gasolinejproducing com­ panies hear about the depression in the cities and give city people the benefit of the low* price, With wheat around thirty-five cents, oats ten. or fifteen cents, hogs at bottom prices, the major oil companies levy a tribute of two. cents a gallon more,in the face of an overproduction of gasoline. The major companies that have their own distributing stations realize a profit of ten to twelve cents a gallon on gasoline. It was only a few days a&> that gasoline was quoted wholesale jn Chicago at three and one-half cents a gallon. The city of Dayton recent­ ly purchased several cars o f gasoline at six and one quarter cents a gallon. Automobile owners in the rural sec­ tions are.eitlier being played for auric- 'ers or have had tbe honor of living ' in the prosperous section o f the coun­ try;- , “ v- v ‘ ‘ \ Down in Oklahoma and Texas they are trying to stabilize the price of gasoline by using the military fprees to keep producer# from further pump­ ing of Crude oil untU*fcreaehes the f l a barrel mark. The, federal farm board went into the wheat business to stabilize the- price?and it id'now tbe lowest In the history of'the country. But while Oklahoma, and Texas'were trying to force the pride upwards they have aided Ohio oil interest*. When oil is cheap Ohio wells are Closed down because it does not pay to pump the welts; iWhsis^crude is selling at a reasonably- high price then Ohio is to profit and we hear- there is now much activity around \phio wells. The refineries in this, section of the cpnn- Iry are benefited because they can gat crude oil cheaper without the high freight rate from Oklahoma. When the market becomes oil clogged and the- supply exceeds the demand, down goes the price, The two southern states are trying out a new experi­ ment but the old established law ’ of supply and demand will eventually -rule. The Federal Farm Board has learned that simple lesson, regardless of the fact it cost the nation many millions of dollars. the farm biterd propose# to let Brazil have 30,000^j&fi bushel#1and in return iUefi pounds of coffee. In th*£renl&&on. according to re- poite tiij ferbj bqmrd loose* |6,000^00 of the taxpayer* money. -The-coffee- is to be delivered next year, so much to be released each month to Ameri- cafi coffee dealers.. The coffee will be handled doSim the line "as if the im­ porter ordered, it. Tt will reach the consumer to sell at the market price While everyone that handles it will be entitled to A profit, ’ Thus we hgye a government board using wheat, that cost twice or more what it is now sell­ ing for,to import coffee to be sold at the customary market price. The coffee consumer will pay the usual price >nd help shoulder the loss the farm board has incurred in the wheat deal, As a business organization the whole civilized world has never seen or heard of anything like the federal farm board. .When future generations read the history’ o f _ 1930 and’ 1931 there will he much for debate. Those' who indulge in economics will lhave much to guide them from the exper­ iences o f the farm board. / A Columbus.paper says that A. S. Dunn/ vice -president' and J, C. Me Millan, secretary and treasurer of the Chase Foundry Manufacturing Co., have been given full charge o f the Company's affairs and therefore will jointly succeed S, M. Chase, vice pres­ ident and general manager, deceased.

Alex&xnder Legge, who holds a very strong hand in a company that manufacturers farm machinery is yet holding out ggainst applying some of the government owned wheat to the relief situation of the country, of which we hear so much about. The The game o f bridge is not * bad in­ vestment for the federal government according to government reports. The treasury department' collected |2,- 338,587 ip takes on playing'cards in Ohio last year. Bach peck o f cards must ham a government tax end it is recalled that one of the largest play­ ing card manufacturers in the United states is loegytad in Cincinnati. The bridge game Is a favorite with ladiei and many men. It has been exploited .over the radio and those versed in the art have traveled the country giving instruction, the radio aided much in making the game popular. What kind of a winter are we go­ ing to have? September is soon her* and this means frost, is not far away. Wbat do the signs say as to winter? Are we to have f cojd winter? Some have it that a hot summer is to be followed by * cold winter. If heavy husks oh the corn mean anything we are due for some, real winter. It has often been said that a year with a big nut crop it is to i>e very cold. The latest sign reported is that the hens are moulting before the roosters. To those*who believe in signs take your choice.
