Whether one likes what he said, approves his plan or not, it was the first time he has exhibited back-bone and leadership. Heretofore his messages have had little weight, due to tbe fact that he has in most every instance failed to follow up with Aplan of opera­ tion, His attitude Tuesday was entirely different. • If balancing the budget will restore confidence that has long been lost in the business world, the tax situation must be accepted by th^ public. Ordinarily the private citizen or cor­ poration can balance the budget by reducing overhead to meet income but aa long as politics is so important in our govern- mental life, little along this1line can be expected either .from the President or Congress. Reductions proposed, most of which will never amount to anything. By what name the new taxes are termed means nothing, they are taxes just the same. The fight all along the line js one interest trying to shift the load oil another. ' REPUBLICANS AND THE VICE PRESIDENCY Notoriously, the most hit or miss’thing about American ^filicaffa irs Is ^our^manrren^of^chTJosing-vice-presidents,------- - The usual thing is to select them at the end of a national convention when everybody is tired with the heat and the strug­ gle over the adoption of a platform 'and the selection of a presi­ dential candidate. There is hurry and scurry; out of it, as much by accident as bv anything else, comes cthe nomination of a man who little later may be called upon to assume the tremendous responsibilities of the presidency of the United States. There is not apt to be much hurry and scurry at the ap­ proaching Republican National Convention, because the presi­ dential nomination is settled in advance. But the party is drift­ ing into a1vice presidential nomination Vith the usual “let things take care of themselves” attitude. Senator Curtis of Kansas was nominated as Hoover’s run­ ning mate in 1928. He has been a good vice president, particu­ larly in the loyal and effective support he has given the. Admin­ istration at a time when there has been too little ,of this sort of thing in the Senate. But Vice President Curtis should not be renominated at Chicago. He will be 73 when the next president is inaugurated and 77 at the end of that term. The presidency, always a man­ breaking job, at the present time makes terrific demands not only upon, the wisdom and force of character of the chief ex­ ecutive, but also upon his physical and nervous strength. To proceed on the theory that a vice president who .never has been a super-man can handle the job at the age of 75 or 76 is ridic­ ulous. There are jlenty of good men available.- One stands out above all others. His name is Calvin Coolidge! . It may be.said that Coblidge would not accept the nomina­ tion. Why not? In spite of all jokes to the contrary, the vice presidency is a position of great dignity, Nobody' would hold it lightly if Coolidge bore the title. Coolidge would strengthen the ticket tremendously in the election; he would strengthen the AdministratiQn afterward; there Would be no question of fitness if, by the accident of death, he Were called upon to, be­ come President again. 1 ’ , . Charles Curtis enjoys the respect jpf,men and women all over the country who are fcnpliar^witu our recent political his­ tory, But these times in government call for vigor and capacity to an unexampled extent. For vigor' 'and capacity, where is there a pair in the country that, could rank with Hoover and Coolidge?” —Cincinnati Times-Star A dispatch from Washington last Saturday indicates tha t the Republi­ can leaders are facing a new problem in connection with the coming national convention to be held this month in June. How to write a plank in the platform that .will suit the drys as well as the wets certainly is some big task. Senator Borah, millitant dry, refused t<), be bound by .the Walter Brown program for a wet plank and says he will not attend the convention in Chicago. This complicates things more than ever, as Bprah was the big gun four years ago for Hoover. He is opposed to the proposed wet plank to suit the administration leaders. This week he iB asked into conference on the question. Republican leaders are ip a tight place. They have promised the wets a wet plank. How to deliver is something else. In this same connection Senator. S. D. Fess says the party Jis demanding a moist plank but that he “Cannot be slid on a wet platform.” The Senator has been known as a strong dry in the past but reading between the lines he ^dmits. the.dernand for a change but is inclined to hold back only person­ ally, but will follow what the conven­ tion adopts. In as much as Walter Brown has lined up the delegates in advance! for the wet cause, Senator Fess faces an unusual situation in the coming campaign. Delegates to the Republican state convention must also take a stand and county organizations must fall in line to deliver the vote in support of nom­ inee David S. Ingalls, who ran as & wet. Unless, the county organizations deliver the convention vote, it is go­ ing to be'tearful should Ingalls be the next governor in Ohio. The Anti Saloon League caucus in Columbus last Friday to discuss the advisability of a third or dry ticket in opposition to the Republican and Democratic nominees, resulted in a committee being appointed to inves­ tigate!. No action will be taken until the national conventions have been held. In the meantime the committee is to let Republican leaders know that nothing but an absolute dry platform will be accepted. It is taken for granted the Democratic will be wet or moist. . Prospective candidates for the four major places on the state ticket are to be sought inreadiness should a decision be favorable later- to tbs third ticket. The New York Times recently pub­ lished a list of ' appointees, mostly members of families of congressmen, that have been on the secret payroll of the government. The list covered BRING BACK GOOD TIMES Nothing could do more to bring back good times than as­ surance of a decrease in taxes during the next few years. We have already enjoyed the fruits of unusual prosperity that will not be enjoyed to the fullest again for some, years, to come, if we take past history as our guide. Every now and then some one puts out the statement that we must forget the past and look to the future and be ready for the new ever changing conditions that must be met from day to day. AH this sounds well and we all would like to keep the past back of us but we must also not forget that old saying, “that history repeats itself ever so often.’ Public as well as private spending will not be on the same high level for some years. There will be many things we want but we cannot safely mortgage the future to get them. One of the great barriers to a return of better business conditions today is the many high taxes we have adopted by our own initiative and those foreed on us from other sources. Draining the indi­ vidual as well as corporations by taxation will only retart the speedy return desired; . . . As to whatever local taxes each Commniiity may have they can bfe divided in two parts-—that which the people have voted on themselves for some desired improvement, and those forced on them by powers out of the taxing district affected. Each com­ munity certainly is entitled to civic improvements that lead to good accomodations, good health", better fire protection, good ' local government, schools and churches. As civilization has ad­ vanced so have our needs locally. If it were not for local taxes there would be higher taxes for both state and federal govern­ ment, little of which would ever be returned to the community from which it was collected. The taxes you pay are not all reflected in the dollars and cents you pay over the counter in a county seat. The state and federal government collects most of its taxes throug corpora­ tions that pass it on in the groceries you buy, shoes, clothing, farm machinery. There was a time when it was believed that income taxes were just found. Now the public has been con­ vinced such taxes are put a part of everything you buy. To get government, federal and state taxes lowered, you must demand the elimination of the hundreds of bureaus, boards, and com­ missions that are for the most part not only costly but useless, Other than part of tl e political machine of one or the other po­ litical parties. A state official once stated to the writer that he could greatly reduce the cost of operating his department if it was not for civil service. In some instances he was forced to keep civil service men on the pay roll that could be dropped and a great saving affected. ■ OHIO STRIKES PROVE COSTLY . . The coal strikes that have been in vogue in Ohio since last April have Already cost the state the neat sum of $100,000. That such an expenditure has been necessary is unfortunate for miners and operators have refused to settle their differences and disorder was the result. It was necessary to send armed men into the strike territory, * , It is unfortunate that a strike should be in force just at a time when hundreds of. thousands of men are out of employ- mentand each and every miner should be thankful for the ep- portumty to have labor, . Probably the mine owners have been at fault, we do, not know, for we offer no defense of either side. We do know this that if miners do not work now it will be up to some division of the state to feed and clothe several thousand women and children this coming winter. Here is a big loss to the state. By not operating the mines there is to be a short-* age of coal and that affects us all. If a man does not want to work he should not have the opportunity or the right to interfere with others that will work. We arc living m a day when there must be neither time or mon­ ey lost to the individual or state. many columns and looked like.a city directory. I t is the answer as to why each. congressman costs the nation an average of $27,000 while all business is stagnated, farm prices as well as stock market prices on the de- •cline and taxes being forced up on all classes of people to balance the bud­ get. Mrs. Carrie Flatter, head of the Greene County W. C. T. U., must be .enjoying some little amusement these days: There was disturbance about the position Mrs, Flatter took during the recent congressional campaign for the W. C. T. U. head was opposed to L. T. Marshall as the Republican nom­ inee, so when D. Pemberton, the for­ mer liquor lobbyist, delivers the Sev­ enth District vote for a referendum or a modification of the Volstead act, Mrs. Flatter will be one of her group that will not have to publically apol­ ogize for her stand in the'’recent cam­ paign. Some of the other members of the union may find themselves sitting on needles. I t might not be out of place for Mrs. Flatter to bring the.re- cent campaign to the attention of her organization and get a public state­ ment before the coming election, as to whether L. T. Marshall is to vote for or against a referendum, in case he is elected in November, The good ladies that carried his marked ballots as “satisfactory” should also insist on a public statement. Now it appears that some old scores are. to be settled once our congression­ al nominee is seated in Washington. I t seems there was “double dealing” in the recent campaign on the part of a prominent federal appointee. Now "double dealing” is worse to the av­ erage politician than being a “racket­ eer.” This particular appointee has not long been a Convert to the house of Gowdy-Marshnll. Predictions are now being made that his scalp is to be the “first sought by the expected con­ gressmen. But with the depression on and more important topics of state nnd nation to be solved why worry over patronage—which the average citizen is not interested in. The mysterious automobile that has been making the rounds without the required auto license can be labeled the prohibition chariot that is used in making collections for the. privilege of bootleg protection. It is one of mystery gas buggies that travels at night making collections, Being on official business why should it have a tag or pay for anything? It operates under the majesty of the Jafc—one o f ’the brand of officials that knows what it is all about. In his hay-day Evidently there are two things you cannot keep the American people from doing, having pleasure and speculat­ ing. When 146/100 people gather a- round an automobile race course to witness, a 500 mile race in such times as we are experiencing, little com­ plaint should be heard. No doubt thousands drove several hundred miles to get to Indianapolis Memorial Day. When it comes to speculation in the stock exchange thousands more are willing to risk all. they have to get “rich quick.” I t was only a few days ago that we learned of a young fath­ er that was trying to borrow $250 on his automobile and hoiuhold goods to take advantage of a “hot tip ” tm a certain stock that was bound to go up. We watched the market for two days, the stock dropping several points. Had the young man invested, he would have lost his $250. Late reports are that Senator Borah by his attitude towards President Hoover, brought the President around to where he is to Stand against a ref­ erendum or even a wet plank in the Republican platform, Borah ytaa the “big-shot" in the Hoover- campaign-in- 1928 and hiB statement that he was not to attend the Republican conven­ tion or take part’ in the-campaign sent a scare through Republican ad­ ministration .leaders. Walter Brown has had everything, set with pledged delegates to write'a: wet plank in the platform. This is the latest news let out from the White House. MANY LITTLEWRAPS By CHUUK NICHOLAS . An endless procession of little sneer and colorful velvet jackets and wrap» keeps moving across fashion's stage. Most of them are conspicuously brief as to length, usually ending at the waistline, but they are anything but that when it comps to their/sleeves. The newer types, particularly, go short on length and long on sleeves. The models pictures are that sort One of the leaders among these and-at-the- walstllne Jacket is the bellhop type, a . clever version of which appears In the sketch. Its long flowing sleeves fin­ ished about the wrist in triple circular* ruffle effects adds a distinctive style feature. Made of white transparent and worn with a black satin evening gown, a Jacket of this type interprets fashion at Its best. The youthful jacket sketched at the top Is one of wrap-around types, which latest style reports so extol. I t ties in the bade and may be worn either as a blouse or jacket. New Spring Fabric* Not Exactiy>What They Seem New fabrics for spring togs are not what they seem. The demand for economy coupled with the Ingenuity of Parisian design­ ers has produced cotton which looks like wool, silk which resembles fur or tweed ,and wool reminiscent of lace. . They are the most interesting stuffs Paris has produced since the war,' and their cdlors are as gay as a school girl’s paintbox. Among the outstanding fabric evo­ lutions which smart women will wear 1 this spring are Rodler’s cottons wov­ en In heavy ribbed design to resemble • tweeds or diagonal wools, artificial silks in nubby weave which recall as­ trakhan fur and novelty weaves com­ bining wool, silk, artificial silk and cotton in a heavy ratine effect. Plalu stuffs promise the greatest popularity, but prints in interlaced effect stn^il polka dots and Scotch *plaids (both silk and wool) already are marked by fashion’s favor. Prints are either a combination of white on brown, blue or black or a welter of many bright tints, Silks for town are heavy and ius- terless, while those for Informal and sports wear are as light as a summer breeze.
