One of .the best signs is that fewer farms have been closed under mortgage pro­ ceedings thus far this year than last, and many fewer than .the second year proceeding. Reports from the State Banking De­ partment say there has not been a bank failure in the state since November 12. When we recall the unusual number of failures the past year such a report is encouraging. While there has been no great improvement in the situa­ tion with manufactring, conditions are no worse than for some months past. There is some speculation as to the outcome of American industry, With mass production we are able to pro­ duce much more than we can'consume. Many o f the world mar­ kets have been closed to American products by high tariffs. The fact that England this week' is enforcing an unusual high tariff only adds to our domestic troubles, Heretofore England has been a free trade country but as matters stand now we cannot hope for much business there. All told more than thirty coun­ tries placed high, tariff duties on American made goods follow­ ing the recent tariff bill passed in this country. With* scores Of American manufacturing companies having plants in foreign countries, American labor at home is denied a chance at what was possible a few years ago. There are many Republican manufacturers that believe conditions cannot return„to normal until we readjust our tariff rates to open the way for more business. The war debt of the. foreign countries due us ls anotherfactor causingfrouble. -The coming session of congress may find a way but with a divided House and Senate on political lines, the chances o f any tariff changes are remote, . COURT NEWS PLAINTIFFS w in ■yhe Court o f Appeals uoheld tbs Common Hess Court in > decision in favor o f Ralph and Mary Homey a- jainst John H. Wysong et ml. Tha iomenys sued for $100 d»m ag« for ■omoval o f an office buildingn'from a jravel washinng plant on a 23-acre arm west o f Xenia. The defendants ..nswered with a suit asking $2,500 damages, alleging they bought the plant with buildings, ' - , LOWER COURT AFFIRMED The Court o f Appeals' affirmed a judgment o f € . E, Bradstreet against Glee Wogaman. Mrs. Wogaman won a verdict for $230 for furniture al­ leged to have been stolen or damaged while in custody o f Bradstreet, the suit being tried in municipal court. Bradstreet appealed directly to Court o f Appeals and sustained the judg­ ment pf the lower court. BRADSTREET WON APPEAL The Court o f Appeals refused to reverse the judgment o f the lower court in favor o f ‘the defendant ip error in the case o f Lola E. Middle- ton, -an incompetent person, against S. E. Bradstreet. The case'1was based on an effort by Bradstreet to collect a Judgment for 8425 on a nromiasary note as the result o f a perchaSe o f a truck. The decision o f the lower court in favor o f Bradstreet was affirmed. CLASSIFICATIONISTS ONLY HOPE FOR THE BEST When Ohia voted for classification of property for taxa­ tion there were many promises made as to the happy days that would follow for property, owners. The most ardent classifica- tionist today only promises "hopejfor the best.” ^Classification as-adopted by th elast legislature sounded well as read in some quarters but on theory was like the promises of years back if we had single or land tax. ‘ • One of the things not.promised in the!argument for classi­ fication set up was a separate and distinct department in each county for administration o f the law, a department that will re­ quire many new officials all to be paid salaries at the expense -o f the taxpayers. There can be no criticism o f county officials on this point. The law makes such a department mandatory and instead of leaving certain powers in the hands of elective officials, responsible to the electorate, this power is given over to the State Tax Commission, an appointive body. Stockholders in Ohio corporations will soon face trying or­ deal under the new law. The companies are to be taxed heav­ ily whether they have a profit or not. The stockholder is to be taxed on the stock he owns directly even though it may not pay a dividend and much more if it does. There is no escape if you own stock in any Ohio corporation, but if you own stock.in one o f the big steel companies; railroad stocks, as .well as many others in companies incorporated in other states, you cannot be forced to make, a return. In other words stockholders in Ohio corporations will be penalized for owning such stock. The Ohio corporation that must stand for this hew system is to be .put to a disadvantage with a competitor manufacturing the same kind o f goods in Another state. ' Ohio manufacturers are probably facing industrial unem­ ployment insurance. Such could not placed in effect without adding to the present burden manufacturers are fdfcing which in the end must reflect on the profit side before‘the stockholder can have a dividend. Whatever cost this insurance is to a com­ pany,is but a penalty to aid an employee that did not make good USe o f his earnings during the time the plant was in opera­ t ion . ; . • •- -fig A suit is pending in another county in, Ohio wherein the constitionality of the law has been attacked. Whatever the out­ come is to be it is certain the state will be in a turmoil for not j only months but probably the next few years. The law as it stands iSfbut the opening wedge to force more taxes on the J people. The limitation given real estate was but the bait to win popular approval to get classification. While this limita­ tion has merit the law provides for so many more ways to tax other property, with changing rates possible each session pf the legislature, little hope for relief can be expected unless it is in the ' ‘hope for the best” plea of the sponsors of classifica­ t i o n ^ ^ ___ * . jr ni CASE CONTINUED TO NOV, 30 The hearing o f the injunction suit brought by Irven M. Coy, a taxpayer, and other residents .o f Beavercreek Twp. School District,, was opened .in Common Pleas Court last Thursday, Judge Gowdy refused to grant the in­ junction and the case was heard on its' merits- and on Friday continued to Monday, November 30. The contract­ ing company was charged with using inferior materials and failure to ad­ here to the plans and specifications. Judge Gowdy inspected the building on Friday. ANOTHER BEAVERCREEK SUIT Frith Shoup, Beavercreek -Twp. has brought suif in the Court o f Appeals to oust Edward Stafford, member of the present board o f education. Both had been elected.to fill the same pos­ ition due to, a vacancy, Stafford was named last summer but only three o f the four board members Were present,, two voting fpr him and one against. The board some time later found his election illegal and then declared the place vacant and elected Shoup.

O f RALPH WOLFORD C sO H W tN Flan for Removal af Road Signs The eld .qo*aUon o f how to get rid o f offensive roadside billboard adver­ tising was under discussion at a re­ cent conference on rural beauty In Washington, and a plan was proposed said to have the approval of billboard interests and automobile and farm groups, Put the matter UPjo toe busi­ ness sense and good conscience of the property owners, was the proposal. Herbert tJ. Nelson, executive Secre­ tary of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, has drawn up a model bill providing that three-fourUuu o f the owners o f roadside land may petition the proper authorities to bar these lands from commercial pses. In such restricted areas exceptions are made for signs offering the. property “for sale,- or for products manufac­ tured or grown upon the premises.' ' In return for toe loss o f rentals from' roadside spade, this plan would' have state,and local authorities reodftj- - pense the landowners by special a t-' tension to. roadside care and beauttfl-. cation. The suggestion has toe ad­ vantage that It eliminates toe threat of exercise of the police power of toe state In keeping „the highways free jfrom_obje(As_thRLja^ttectftomthe beauty o f scenery, but enlists the co­ operation o f those who should be most "interested In toe preservation of such assets.—Cleveland' Plain Dealer. . Skintled Brink Wall Grows,in Popularity Sklntllng a‘ brick wall gives li.llfe ,' and that is .the secret o f the-steadily growing popularity*o f skintled brick­ work. Under the play o f . the sun­ shine a skintled brick wall is con­ stantly changing. Lights and shadows, color tones that ebb and deepen, tapes­ tried effects that change pattern hour- _ly, these are1conditions that Intensify ‘ its appeal. Any architect will tell you that where you .cam tnaurp.. ,shadow play on a brick wall you .have corner thing worto consideration that la not to be Ignored. , , * Skintled brickwork produces tots effect. But it does more. It couples with it the Intermingling of the in-' finite color tones that are inevitable In almost every common brick .save toe white one. And even with that you have much the same effect as that for which the architect strives when he paints a brick wall to ac­ centuate toe play o f light'and shadow, P«d*itrian’« Right* There IS no one who has Invested money in towns and cities or in prop­ erty or business who is not concerned in solving tola problem o f traffic to the extent that those vehicles of trans­ portation that are used to transport passengers shaft w ullowedto operate and run with the least Inconvenience, The pedestrian Is just as much oc­ cupied with this proposition.- If he— toe man who does not operate'"a pri­ vate vehicle—Is excluded, then n very vital factor In the matter Is left out. First, the pedestrian uses the common or public means o f transportation. He arrives at his destination in the morn­ ing, which Is hlB occupation,' In toe evening he goes to his natural abode, where he has invested money. During the day be uses the streets and side­ walks, which are dedicated to his use as well as to that o f vehicles. The pedestrian cannot, and must not, be excluded from any study that has to do with traffic regulation.—Ex­ change, • J Builder Nmds Expert Advice • * Ninety-five per cent o f the small hemes In this country have been built without adequate architectural plan­ ning and supervision, Experience of. others In toe increased and unexpect­ ed cost resnltlng from this practice lias barred thousands from building, their own homes, according to David S. Betcone, head of the architectural department o f a western company which built more than 2,600 small homes last year. No home builder Is properly protecting himself without such architectural service^ Mr. Bet- cone said.- Zralxg JRuqxiraawats* Most of the smalt suburbs sronnd Chicago are now zoned with consider­ able portions o f city ares limited to single family dwellings. Winnetka, 111., has OS per cent of its area lim­ ited to single family dwellings, with remarkably generous area regulations, while Kenilworth, nearby,'permits no apartment houses except in the small Commercial district and requires that every lot must be in excess of 12,000 Square feet per family house. Cardm Only Outdoor Room A garden shonld serve as an out­ door room and should 1>e located with this idea in mind. Usually perennial or flower gardens are-not placed in the direct line o f a long view, because It Is difficult to enjoy the near and tnttmate when the grand and the dis­ tant are dominating, which la always the case when there Is a long view, Front L aW i Value The front lawn of the .average home is seldom used for any form of recreation. As with the general -landscaping o f this area, the -grass helps to provide a jpUafole appear­ ance to the property as' viewed from tfairstreet. * «.* , BARGAIN IN BUILDING LOT The only available building lot on ChlUfcoth Street, Located on corner o f alley in good community. o . u M c F arland i*17 O l e t r i a ^ r j Apt, A4® Dayton, Ohio Join Our Christmas Savings \ \ 7 OULD a nice substantial check delivered by the »T postman to you be welcome about December 15th, next year?
