FRIDAY,’ FEBRUARY 2(5, 1932. SOMEONE SHOULD INQUIRE OF SHERIFF made to the food, but prisoners say they never saw head lettuce or lamb chops. Whose table has been graced with these deli­ cacies for which the. county pays? The county pays §160 a month for a cook which formerly cost but $11 a week or $44 a month. If yon Want to know who gets the $160 a month and what the real salary is that is paid the cook, the same cook that in forator years reached only $44 a month, you must ask the Sheriff. * / J CITIES STILL WANT LEGISLATIVE SESSION The cities are still pulling at Governor White’s coat string for a special session of the legislature to pass laws for more money for “ poor relief” . This would mean some form of ,pew tax but the real object has not been made public. Governor White is hearing from all the counties and in a statement Tues­ day stated that 75 per .cent of the counties were opposed to a special session. The underlying movement on the part of the politicians is not, for poor relief but to repeal a law passed last winter that coupled national, state and county tickets on one ballot. The Republican party bosses felt sure at that time that victory was theirs for the asking. Success today is about as certain as if attempt had been made by .legislation to change _the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic. The bosses are having daily attacks of spinal chills and want the law changed fearing the national ticket will drag down everything attached to it. The chances of the Governor calling a special session are few and one might venture if such a call comes he will restrict consid­ eration of measures relative to “ poor relief” , not party relief. OHIO SUPREME COURT DINTS PROHIBITION - Tuesday the Ohio Supreme Court opened the first crack in the state enforcement law when a decision was handed down that “ service of ice, ginger ale as a set-up” did not constitute a violation of the law. Scores of men have paid fines and many' are serving or have served time the past few yeai's when held guilty of such a charge. ' By this method the proprietor of an eating place, hotel, roadside inn, etc., could bootleg liquor and render service. Now that it is legal business is expected to pick ■up. Some have said the prohibition question w.ould have a prom­ inent place in the presidential campaign. Others have a dif­ ferent idea. The succe-b of a cerjtain poll being taken will have more influence on party planks than anything else. If the poll should be strongly “ wet” , look out for some surprises in state­ ments from candidates. ’ ■' ■ « At this very time a hand picked delegation will be chosen for the Republican delegates to the national convention. The list will have a safe majority of liberals and be Voted in a block at the convention. No person can be a candidate to the Nation­ al convention without the endorsement of a presidential can­ didate. Here is where the “ drys" have been outwitted.-The contest going on in the Seventh District among the politicians is for wet delegates. Walter Brown is doing the picking and D. Pemberton, Columbus, former lobbyist for Cincinnati liquor interests, sponsor ox the L. T; Marshall campaign for congress, is holding the'"lines for wet delegates. t As yet the fracus has not been settled. What is going on in the Seventh District is what you find in other disti'icts. The politicians can pick the candidates but they cannot force the public to vote for them, only by crooked woik at the ballot box and in the count, Four years ago Pemberton fought Hoover in the Seventh District. The question now is whether Hoover is to come but for a refer­ endum vote, as some claim he will before the November elec­ tion, or has Pemberton been converted^by the dry. leaders and won over to their cause?" » | Tho entire.country is .hearing more 5 of the life of George Washington by ! radio, the press, platform and the pul- i pit than was ever possible through the class room of public school of college. All this is in recognition of the 20? birthday anniversary of the Founder and First Fresident of the United States. In as much as Washington once held vast tracts of land in Ohio and made frequent trips west to keep in touch with his possession, Ohio has a prominent part in the life history of Washington. Likewise it was Sena­ tor S. D. Fess of this county, that first sponsored such a movement, .that is now nation-wide.. MAKING LIGHT, GAS, TELEPHONE COST MORE Congress needs more money so Uncle Sam can balance his budget. Numerous ways have been advocated but serious ob­ jection arises and attention is then given to some other method. What Congress wants to do is pass a “ painless tax” a tax that can be shifted so that the consumer must pay the bilk It has been suggested that we have a general sales tax and make each business man a tax collector, adding the tax to the price of the article sold. Serious consideration is being given a tax on gaso­ line in addition to what the states are collecting. This would add to the cost of operating the car. Stamp taxes on checks, notes, valuable documents of different kinds. Tax on amuse­ ments but objection arises there. The proposed tax of five per cent to all bills for natural gas, electricity, telephones, and many other common every day re­ quirements, looks more probable today than ever. Collecting such a tax is regarded “ painless” . The government o f course must have funds from somewhere. Income taxes under the present period of prosperity have about faded from the picture. Corporations may have operated some the past year but most of them have had no profit to tax due to the continued downfall of prices. * , There are some that Believe there is no occasion to increase of the present taxes and no need for new taxes. The govern­ ment has made no move to reduce operating costs. Millions upon millions are being expended on .stately post office build­ ings that could wait another year or so. None of the twenty-five commissions or bureaus with five, ten, twenty and twenty-five thousand dollar salaries have been dispensed with. Congress needs to-hear from the “ Home Folks” , few of which will even Jspend a postal card for a suggestion or to register opposition to something that will cost them a few cents on every article they may purchase in the future. y o ° o ~ ~ EXPLAINED & £&& o o o L i n d h o t s i MIRROR BECOMES AN ORACLE AND ANSWERS QUESTIONS YOU WRITE, m om s ON MIRROR, AND RI-MOVt: GlAi V.

As years havecomearrd gone and the nation grew and expanded in wealth and influence in the world, naturally many of Washington’s ideas of gov­ ernment went into, the discard. We are inclined to believe that were he to re­ turn today and learn of our- foreign policy, he would be quick to offer a strong protest. In one of his speeches he had much to say about preserving the credit of the nation, as well as the individual and pointed out what great harm free and unbridled credit would do to our economic structure. It then is a contrast as we couple our present economic tangle with the warning he made public years ago. One of the first things he might inquire about if he should return would be the safety and interest of our own people. We fear he would be heart-broken if he knew that America had billions for foreign nations and a bankrupt treas­ ury for our own people. It would be hard for him to understand how we could have great bread lines and soup houses for unemployed, and yet the government itself the supposed owner of millions of bushels of wheat. If. the observance o f' Washington’s life during the next few months does but one tiling, bring the people to a point where his ideas of government must once more be our guide, placing the government hack into the hands of the people, is will be well worth the ef­ fort. The 128th anniversary of the found­ ing of Ohio University at Athens was commemorated Monday, Washington’s birthday. George Washington in 1792 signed tho patent conveying the ter­ ritory to thfe Ohio Company. In 1799 General Putman surveyed and fixed the site for Ohio University, and five years later the Ohio Legislature pas­ sed the act which established the uni­ versity in Athens. The first meeting of the board of trustees was held in June 1799, and Governor Edward Tif­ fin, first go^rnor of 6hio, rode 60 miles on horseback to preside atvthe gathering. Rev. Jacob Lindley was the first president and the school opened with three students. The tui­ tion was ?20 a year. All over Ohio county tax leagues, associations, or organizations are be­ ing formed to bring about greater re­ lief and force reduced cost of govern­ ment. Most of these organizations are sponsored by farmers and this must be getting under the hide of the State Farm Bureau leaders, who have been, more on the oratorical end than that of performance. Monday over the radio a Farm Bureau speaker made a desperate appeal for a more united support of farm and urban interests to carry out the bureau tax program. There was behind the appeal the re­ quest to stay away from the new movements, especially the plan of a company that is trying to sign far­ mers up to secure a return of road as­ sessments on a percentage basis. The Farm Bureau in Columbus probably has not yet discovered just what sen­ timent is among farmers on tax mat­ ters. The farmer is not half so much concerned about a program but what has been and is to be accomplished. Action now is demanded at the,time when relief is vitally important.! The Farm Bureau may yet find out that classification, which it advocated is not to the liking of the average far­ mer anymore than it is to the average citizen. With two candidates for governor making the tax law an issue it will be hard for the Farm Bureau tu make its membership believe that its program is more important than actual relief Building up a great po­ litical machine for tax gathering pur­ poses. and each county contributing a large amount of money to support several hundred new officials, may bo a part of the Farm Bureau “program’’ under the classification law, but It is not what the average farmer wants at this time. As a result scores of tax organizations have sprung up in all parts of the state, and we do not find the names o f politicians in the list of officials. first time in the history o f the nation j the government Has found it necea- have an appeal read from the pujbits in the country. We be­ lieve the'Bible has something to say along this line. ‘ j Matthew 25:15, “ And unto one he j gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man accord­ ing to his several ability;— Matthew 25:18, “ But he that receiv­ ed one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money,*’ These passages might be used as a text in the appeal for release o f the money that has gone somewhere, if not in hiding. One would hardly be­ lieve that a gathering of church mem­ bers would develope one single hoard­ er, but there are other evidences that such must be the case. A statement of the financial condi­ tion of receipts, disbursements and bills payable read following the ap­ peal for a release „of hidden money, indicated there must be quite a few that had followed Matthew 25:18, for it was not reflected otherwise in the financial statement presented to the members. Using a common expres­ sion to a layman, it looks like quite a were “holding out.” But the de­ pression is responsible for many of our present habits, just as abundant prosperity,, gave us other habits than have since been laid aside. All you “ hoarders” had better put your money to work and get it out of hiding or the Hoover snoopers will get you, if you don’t watch out. For tho A writer for one o f the.large press associatinos sent out a dispatch Tues­ day telling how an Ohio millionaire as a resident of Ohio would not.have to pay any taxes under the new clas­ sification law. In as much as most dll citizens are concerned about the new aw, such information is not only in­ teresting but timely. He may have nis money in banks and building and loan associations, or invested in such financial institutions, in domestic in­ surance companies, or in the capital employed by dealers in intangibles, Tie institution -paying a small tax. The millionaire may own one or half, a dozen automobiles, costing thous­ ands o f dollars, magniiicient house­ hold goods, costly musical instruments including $10,000 pipe organs, works of art from foreign countries that cost into the*,thousands. If he resides in a fashionable apartment or, a rented house, he would pay no taxes, as all |hese things are non-taxable to the owner Un<|er the classification law, Ohio drys are now between -the up­ per and nether mill stones and with­ out a dry candidate thus far for Uni­ ted States Senator, Col, Thompson,. having withdrawn from the race. A s ; matters stand Gilbert Bettman, Cin­ cinnati wet, is the only Republican candidate. Senator Bulkley, Wet, w ill, be renominated by the Democrats! without opposition. The drys will be j able to see why a Columbus liberal, j formerly a lobbyist for Cincinnati liquor interests, is sponsoring the can-1 dldacy of L. T. Marshall for Congress In this district. Pemberton can mus­ ter all the financial needs for a cam -; paign through his connections with the interests he represents. He has i opened headquarters in several coun-! ties to campaign for his candidate and it is remarkable tho interest he is £ak-! ing in a supposedly “dry’’ candidate, j The dry cause is at stake this year in more way's than one. The wets are : not taking anything for granted, not j even 'the Literary Digest prohibition poll but going out to get candidates. A speaking campaign for repeal must be in the open. Picking candidates and working under the cover of dark­ ness, keeps the citizenship in darkness until it is too late/ If the drys trust to fate, judging from sentiment lit large, they stand 1 (Josefs today. The senatorial situation has been cleverly worked out for months back with no indication that a dry candidate with a big hank roll can be induced to en­ ter the race. The wets are working the same kind o f a campaign for se­ lected candidates in other Ohio, dis­ tricts as in the Seventh. FOR RENT •' Mr*. Bridiman house on t Main Street, 8 rooms and both, J. A. FINNEY, i Xenia) Qhiq Printing for Particular People Good Printing Inspires Confidence If stories we hear are correct, one of our prominent businessmen found himself in quite a “ picklement” dur­ ing service last Lord’s Day. This . businessman holds an official posi­ tion in his church and has the honor of “ passing the plate,” This official duty is performed with jyrace and dig­ nity fitting the occasion. After lift­ ing the plate it. is a custom to take it to the rear of the church and deposit it with the other plates, and the re­ spective officials return to their ac­ customed seats. This particular Sun­ day must have been different from all the others that have past for-this of­ ficial for he marched down the aisle in stately mein atid took a seat other than his own, beside somebody else’s wife, or “ somebody", as Andy would say. Fleeting seconds seemed real minutes to members: that noticed the unusual departure of a member not beside his wife, and why the change ? A causual glance and Albert discov­ ers he is in the right church but the wrong pew. At the same time a nudge from his wife in the seat just back and Albert knew then for sure he. was ■ out of his accustomed seat and the change was quickly made, but not without numerous Smiles, winks and nods among members. We have had no direct reason for Albert passing his own pew to sit in another unless some good brother had dug up one of the large old fashioned bills that has been in hiding and started it on its way to work. 4 4 * When you send out a poorly printed circular, or any printed matter, you make a very bad im­ pression upon its recipient. <r ■ , ’ When you send out a well printed, circular, you in­ spire confidence and resect.
