SHERIFF MAY TAKE OVER BOY SCOUTS NEXT The Boy Scout Masters in Greene County are in grave dan­ ger o f loosing their official positions, that Greene County s Sheriff can have his way, Some time ago the Sheriff was nos­ ing around in Jamestown, where he once wore a tin badge and carried the keys to the village lock-up. On this particular oc­ casion he happened to observe two youths in some prankish acts, and the lads were soon under the command of “ Big Bertha" and on a march down the Main street to the village bastile. Charges were filed against the boys who entered pleas of guilty, the mayor assessing a fine and immediately refunded same with the injunction they fould proceed on their way. The Sheriff, polished the dust o ff “ Big Bertha" and proceeded to county seat to make big “Whoopee” over the catch of the day Some o f these days the Boy Scouts will be taken over by the Sheriff on the ground the Scout Masters know little or nothing about how to handle boys. NEW SUPREME COURT JUSTICE NAMED President Hoover this week announced the appointment of Judge. Cardoso, New York City, to the Supreme Court bench to succeed the late Justice Holmes. Judge Cardozo is probably better known in judicial circles than among the common people of this country. At least he seems to have almost the united support”of the. press and leading politicians. The Democratic leaders are happy for Judge Cardozo belongs to that party. He is regarded a liberal and this may be surprising to many of the Hoover admirers, but indications point to the Senate giving the appointee immediate confirmation. He will be the second mem­ ber o f the court to be a Jew and the third member from New York state. While the President may have picked an outstand­ ing jurist, he no doubt has placated some Democratic .support, and especially the followers of the liberal movement. ; SENATE TURNS NATIONWIDE RELIEF BIL The United States Senate met one issue face, to days ago and saved many millions of dolls^s. The treasure de­ feated in that body was for nation wide r£pe£_fco-ttte unemploy ed. It is not that the epople of this country desire to see men, women, and childreiy cold and hungry; but such relief belongs first to .the communities and then-the states. The Federal gov­ ernment has at times tkkeirwer duties that belong strictly to the states, but political pressure had more to do with such a movement than anything else. There could be no government aid without some new form of tax,' The plight of England with the “ dole" should be a warning’to this country. Cities continue to put pressure on Gov. White to call the legislature for legis­ lation providing more relief funds but this cannot be done with out new .taxes in some form. The city plan to tax all of the property in the state is but a plan to make the rural counties pay for city charity. In as much as the demand for more public money coihes from politicians, Go,v. White can soon put a check on this demand by announcing he would only call the legisla­ ture back to reduce public salaries twenty-five per cent to pro­ vide for relief work. With such an announcement he will have heard the last request for a legislative call. No politician wants to hear of salary cuts. * KNOWING WASHINGTON The appointment of the Ohio Washington Bicentennial Commission emphasizes the state-wide and continuing nature of the celebration. Beginning Feb. 22 and extending through­ out the year will be a program seeking to remind this genera­ tion of George xa&hington. That cannot be counted a success if it does not emphasize the outstanding skein of events which connected the Ohio val­ ley in the tapestry of his life. The. Ohio valley was a consuming interest to Washington from his boyhood to his 'grave; it was the foundation of his ca­ reer and his fortunes, literally as well as figuratively. He ex­ plored it; fought for it; won it; was compensated by lands in it; his quarrel with the British crown was over those land - - 7 —— « « •• v«*w w«, v if «« *i Mifcj V f vA VUUOv I flim grants; he emerged, because of it, as the military leader of the Colonists; as president he prosecuted the defense which pro­ duced the Miami campaigns. Before his death he was concerned with the development of the foute followed later by the railroads. His estate was largely in Ohio valley lands. The Washingtons were among the gentlemen adventures who founded and managed the Ohio company. They sent their explorer, Gist, through the lands watered by the Scioto and the Mad, down the Miami and home by way of Kentucky, when Washington was in his teens. He succeeded his brother Law­ rence ih the enterprise, and, with Gist, undertook the embassy to the French in the Ohio valley when but 22, which precipita­ ted the French and Indian War, from which he emerged as leader. His trip down the Ohio to locate claims extended to Galli- polis. His mission to pick out lands for himself and his compan­ ies from the crown over the land claims and helped to precipi­ tate the revolution. That a real fortune was at stake, as well as principle, meant only that the Ohio valley had a reality to the young yir- ginian. The same realities and vision evoked the development o f the Miami. Fort Washington and Fort Hamilton were but a continuation of the Washington dream of empire to the west. Death found him still planning a route to Cincinnati, later de­ veloped by a railroad which ties us to the seaboard. To know Washington, his plans and^his visions, is to know our destinies m the Ohio valley, to see them in the large and as realities. J -—Cincinnati Enquirer Private Yacht Built for American MJWULVM.IWn.a?.,'. praisal law which rsqairM a new ap­ praisement every six years, ran The announcement o f Myers Y- Cooper as a candidate fo r the Repub­ lican nomination for governor has created a delicate situation in political circles in Cincinnati, The Times-Star the day following the Cooper announ­ cement, came out editorially against Cooper. The Enquirer editorially a- rose to his defense. The Times-Star is for Ingals, a relative o f the Taft family. Cooper has been asailing the classification tax law just going into effect; and openly demanding that all farm land as well as homes be reduced twentj^five per cent in valuation fo r tax purposes. Clarence J. Brown, the other candidate in his address at Ea­ ton a few nights ago displayed some figures to show how the poor man and real estate was carrying the burden of the tax under the new law, Robert Taft, State Senator, Cincinnati, is a bout the only member o f the legisla ture that is upholding the classifies' tion law. Attorneys say 'he is profit­ ing by the law as he represents large utility companies and other large cor­ porations. Many republican candi­ dates, now realize the unpopularity o f the law and are urging changes. A Farm Bureau speaker over . 1 radio a few days ago admitted the rates on bank and building and loan deposits were too low and should increased., This would mean lower interest rates and dividends, higher interest rates to the borrower, or the financial institutions refusing to ab- sord the tax and having it passed back to the depositor. Xenia, will not get the Veteran's hospital and neither will anyother Ohio eity, according to advices from Washington, Xenia citizens staged a campaign backed by the American Legion but evidently too many Ohio eitiea wanted the institution and the department is eliminating Ohio other than enlarge a Marine Hospital in Cleveland with the same plan fo r the Soldiers' Home in Dayton at a later date. Cincinnati was a strong bidder for the hospital but went down to de­ feat. Veterans evidently are not well satisfied over the result for Charles White, Canton, an official o f the Dis­ abled Veterans organization, says the Marine hospital is a joke and the food served at the Dayton Home unfit to eat. . Some time ago this column in com­ menting on the birthday anniversary o f Hon; J. Warren Keifer, stated that ra^was the only living ex-speaker of the House o f Representatives. We failed tcNqclude Frederick H. Gillette^ MassachUsetfcSr^MfTHe^seqpnd. There are but two ex-speakers, The .announcement 4hat General Motors will place a ten per cent re duction in pay for all employees the first o f the month indicates to yrhat extend corporations are going to pro. tect themselves in advance o f the many new federal tax laws proposed by congress to raise revenue to bal Tmce the government budget. The cut. in wages means other corporations will do the same. This reduces the purchasing power o f labor and will jnly add to the continued-low prices o f farm products, ' With increased crop production and reduced purchasing. Jowier on the part o f consumers is not \ pleasant picture o f the future. But no one in Washington dares to advo­ cate a reduction o f the cost o f gov­ ernment. News dispatches hint that "Uncle Andy" Mellon, former Secretary of Treasury in the Hoover Cabinet, is to wed his divorced wife, after twenty years separation, brings a new topic to the front.' It is likely that many people did not even know that, Mellon had been divorced. His wife, accord­ ing to gossip, does not care to reside in this country, prefering England. She hds been amply cared for as her former husband is rated as one o f the first seven richest men in the country. President Hoover has named Mellon as ambassador .to England .and it is a great social treat to have a connec­ tion with the Court o f St. James. For this reason the divorced wife may have a desire to be reunited with her former husband. Again members of the Mellon family, especially tfep child ren, may have a great influence in bringing their parents together. Xenia has a police chief, 0 . H. Cornwell, that has attracted the whole country. Not so many months ago ho was awarded honor for catching single-handed three youthful bandits. He has had much experience in hand­ ling criminals and is an expert on all kinds o f identification work. Sev­ eral years ago, to be exact, seven, a murder was committed in Xenia, be­ fore the days Cornwell became chief o f police. The Chief has worked in many ways to clear the murder of Charles Simms, foriper Xenia police­ man, killed when he was making an arrest. A negro by the name o f Lee was indicted and convicted of first de­ gree murder, but died in the Ohio pen hospital before his time for execu­ tion, Reports then, and they are a* gain being discussed, brought, out the belief that Lee was innocent but had been beaten and tortured by the most barbarous methods ever known in the’ county. In this way he was forced to confess his guilt. When Lee was re­ ceived at the prison it has been re­ ported, his condition from bruises and burns', were such as never before ob­ served. It has always been hinted that his death was directly due to the various forms o f cruelty inflicted as a prisoner in the county jail. Xenia Police are making their own investi­ gation and believe that Alonzo Jones, 36, colored, who was arrested in Lex­ ington, Ky., has valuable knowledge o f who actually killed Simms.

This magazine is sending out 20 million ballots into every state in the Union providing for a "Yes and N o" vote. While 20 mil­ lion votes is a huge number it can not possibly give each citizen an op­ portunity to vote.t The publishers have sent out the ballots based on the percentage o f the last presidential vote. Think o f what the postage and cost o f printing would be to send out a letter, ballot, envelope and postage would be to 20 million people? There should he more than a local representation at the Home Coming Banquet and basketball game in the Alford Gym on Saturday night. The gym should bo filled to over-flowing for this event. There will be a pro gram o f music and a Washington one* act play, The menu will be attractive and the community should come to the front on this occasion, Bluffton has a fine basketball team and, good sup­ port o f the Home Team on this oc­ casion is warranted,. Don't take a chance, get tickets in advance or phone the College office for a reserva­ tion. With two Republican candidates for governor on the Republican side out in statements and public addresses critical o f the classiffication tax law, it is certain the law Will meet drastic changes ,when the legislature meets in January. Candidates are beginning to find that the pujblic pulse is not favorable to the tax law. More than that most candidates are fearful that it will work to their disadvantage as a Republican legislaure passed the law which was signed by Governor White, a Democrat, Clarence J, Brown in a recent speech in'*Eaton says the law favors the rich and placed, more o f a load on the poo^ man. Myers Y. Cooper is puncturing the law in his speeches and-is demanding more re­ lief for real estate*by.a twenty-five per cent reduction in valuation o f property fo r taxation. Brown says under the law that real estate will carry 75 per cent o f the tax burden. Senator Rebert Taft; Cincinnati, the author o f the law, says it should have a trial o f at least ten years. In tne meantime his favorite interests that had tax costs reduced would be the oenificiaries, . : ■ ■ It oft times is amusing to' analyze the political makeup o f supporters o f various candidates. The announce­ ment that MyerS Y, Cohper would be a candidate must bring him many new supporters if he meets with sue- ;css, for a good number o f his former packers have lined up with one o f the two remaining candidates. Men that worked themselves in a fret ,to elect Cooper two years ago gainst Gov. White, are now his political enemies jnd some uncomplimentary remarks can be heard. Such remarks made, two years ago about Cooper would have been the signal o f . an argument. Seventy-five per cent o f a candidates support from politicians is for pat­ ronage only. The windstorm last Thursday after­ noon did about $8,000 damage to the front wall o f the new $180,000 school building in Beavercreek Twp, The building has been under, court contest and by court order declared not safe and not erected according to specifi-, cations. The front collapsed and if consideration Is taken o f the struc­ ture, the contractor was evidently J erecting a .building unsafe for child- j reti. It is said the contractor is pro- i tected by storm insurance. FOR SALE Roan Gelding, 13 Years Old Sound, will work anywhere. Dark Gray Filley cominy 3 yr. old. Sound and Broke.
