UKl«rtd at the Poet Uedarville, Ohio, October 31, 1837, as rxwond class matter. FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1932. COL. LINDBERGH'S DUTY Tfra public at this time has not a very warm feeling for the different law enforcement agencies at work on the Lindbergh kidnaping case. Pre$s comment' over the country indicates we hate aot the proper system, or have not entrusted police pow- .era to the right persons. When a parent is forced to deal di­ rectly through underworld characters to regain his own son, ii is a said reflection on our law enforcement agencies. The Cleve. land Pram has the following to say editorially: “We regret, Colonel Lindbergh, this country has failed you in yew hour of need.” v “We are sorry it seemed necessary to look to gangsters to help fend your first born when the resources of government did not. ” “But you had to do it. We know. that. You are not a na­ tion's hero at this moment. You are a father. Just now you owe no obligation to the country, to anyone, other than to get your baby back, safe and sound. “Maybe some day when your baby is back with you, or viihenthe hurt has eased; you can think about the plight of this country of ours, a country, in which the powers of gangsters is gtw«t. ” “Maybe in that day you can turn your great influence to loading a real enterprise to put this country back in the hands of law and order.” Kidnaping is a word much in the public mind just at this time, but how many have any idea of the number of such crimes have been committed in recent years ? How does Ohio rank as to kidbaping? How many have been punished for such crimes? The an­ swers will prove interesting. During the past twenty-three years 285 per­ sons have been kidnaped in the United /States. It will be more interesting to learn that Ohio stands second as to the number of persons kidnaped. Il­ linois had forty-nine and lead all the states. Ohio followed with thirty four. Of this number six persons were murdered. Ohio only convicted four while Illinois convicted eigth. Sixteen of the forty-eight states reported i kidnaping in the three years. WHAT ABOUT THE WAGE PROBLEM? T q hear some people talk, as well as some of our political leaders, congressmen included, all that is .necessary to raise funds for public use is to devise some new form of taxes to be collected from industry and business. The politician knows that sounds .good to many people as he paves the way for more, and more votes to keep in power. One of the first costs of doing business nowadays is taxes, federal, state and local. They are a definite and inescapable levy. There can be .neither wages or dividends until taxes are5* paid. There is no way a business can either maintain high wages or pay its investors good dividends without making money. Senator Borah says: “The surest way to force wages lower would be to increase the tax on industries.” At this time we find taxes not being lowered but increased While wages are on the continued, down grade. England is a fair example of what happens. Taxes are as high or higher in England thap any country on the globe, but wages are about the lowest. The two go hand in hand. We are in a period that is not likely to change even much for the better for some time. No one knows for the “just around the corner” story has proven a myth. When ever a wage earner accepts the theory that tax- os liave much to do with his wage, and demand a reduction In excessive government'costs, he will be doing something for himself. . Unemployment insurance and the many socialistic proposals offered today, if adopted, will |have more to do with Still lower wages than has been experienced thus far during th e depression. AMERICAN LEGION PROMOTES SAFETY LOW REVENUE WILL BRINGA/jANY REDUCTIONS The movement for salary reductions in government, state and county, will never be accomplished fairly unless the cut starts at the top and comes down. The salaries paid by the fed­ eral government are out of all proportion. Uncle Sam is going to be short of revenue and new taxes may not make it possible to keep things going as they are. Congress voted itself higher salaries during the’war period., They have never been reduced. E. E.Greiner, Republican candidate for congress in this dis­ trict is the only candidate we have heard of that promises to vote for lower salaries for congressmen. He is a man of wide business experience representing an investment in business that must help'carry the tax burden. Not so long ago he was invited to talk before the Clark County Taxpayers Association and he made plain the necessity for drastic reductions. State government is going to be short of revenue and cuts must come from that angle, though politicians will fight every •effort to make reductions. The demand for county reductions Will follow that of the state and nation but it is not fair to cut the low Salaried officials in counties and schools and permit excessive state and federal salaries to continue, The federal government in some instances is preparing to increase some sal­ lies at this time. We must start 1 1 the top and*work down,' or little will he accomplished in the way of reductions. o TRICKSo fMAGIC CLEVER TRICK PERFORMED WITH ORDINARY RULER I s . W 7 MOW ,x L ooks A nd WOW IT IS DONE. WItk a> ordinary ruler In your hand announce to* your audience that, WttfcOSt the os* of glue or other adhesive material, you will make the ruler StiSit to the pain at your hand. Merely ns a pretense rub the ruler on your totes and place it across the palm of your left hand which is held lu a liorl- Metal position. Grasping the wrist with your right hand slowly elevate tbs toft ana, turning the back of the hand to the audience; and placing the fads* finger of the right hand over the ruler. With the hack of the hand tamed toward the audience, it appears that the ruler Is sticking to the lihnd. (Copyright, Will in Llndhorst.i WALD WANTANDSALEADSPAY” The demand for rural police seems to have d ipp ed the past year or so. In as much as the public has been, on the reduction end of government op­ eration, this system (Jould not be put in force without mote cost to some body. Rural police received a body blow in New Jersey, as a failure 'to even find a trace of the kidnapers of the Xmdbergh infant. One writer says .he rural police has helped muddy the waters and tangle plans of other of­ ficials. Too many cooks often spoil the broth. It is almost admitted as a fact that professionals had nothing to do with the esae and that amateurs took a chance and are now affraid to some to the front to get the ransom. The kidnaping probably has been giv­ en too much publicity. All the public knows is that officials have failed to unravel the mystery up to this time. The American Legion, with its 11,000 posts throughout the country, is aiding in the welfare activities of the nation. It has made safety one of its major activities, not National Safety* but' individual safety in the home, in the school and particularly on the highways and streets of our land- Recent estimates show that 100,000 persons were killed in the United States in various 'trays last year. The Legion is cooperating with other agencies in working put a definite, scientific traffic enforcement, to back the schools in safety education and to labor for improved con­ ditions in homes, It is a great work and its efforts will make life a little safer for us all; The kidnaping of the Lindbergh son has been a big feature for the daily papers. Page after page of pictures and column after column of news mat­ ter has been sent out by the different press associations each day. It is said the press associations have sent out an average of 350,000. words daily that cost $5,300 in teie'graph toll. More than 200 reporters are on the job and the cost is placed‘at $4000 a day. The extra toll for special mes­ sages runs $1300 a day ,' Forty-three wires are being held for press matter concerning the kidnaping case. Most of the messages are sent, out from Hopewell, Trenton and Princeton. Columbus plasterers have voted to reduce the daily union wage scale from $11 to $8 a day. This is encouraging news bu t will not cut much figure in the way of stimulating building .construction with money tight. . The demand for piasters will probably do more to regulate the scale of wages than the union. The law of sup­ ply and demand is an old one but even our government has found out that false standards have fa il-. ed in many ways. Nila become laws that demand uaelfse public expenditure, that would never be introduced if it was known a referendum could be called. The state tax spenders of course will continue to tell you a constitutional canvention to re­ vise this one section, is not neces­ sary. | WANTED TO RENT—House with 1 few acres, near Uedarville. Box 544,’ iCedarville. I NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Eggs dropped to seven cents a doz­ en Saturday, which is said to be the lowest since 1877. Even the panic of the nineties has been bested by the depression of 1921-32. Milk down to $1,50 a hundred, with truckage to be deducted gives the farm anglie a new and interesting thought. There nat­ urally is some‘speculation as to the poultry outlook fo r this summer. We are told that fewer chickens were raised in 1031 than in 1930. Those who purchase and store eggs will be heavy loosers as twenty cent’ eggs last summer with storage charges is a poor holding now that fresh eggs are so low in price. There u little chance that you will hear reports of housewives hoarding egg money this year. How about riding a bicycle from Akron to Florida and from Florida back to Akron by way of Cedaryille when the mercury was 10 above and the*wind rates a t 30 miles? Such an evfent as this takes us back to about 1890 when bicycles were coming into vogue but Wednesday this was found to be-true.-Motortroubleron-the-high= way with freezing weather is not a very- pleasant experience but when the old two wheel chariot goes wrong it is just to bad, A citizen from Akron made the trip to Florida last fall on his bicycle. Hearing that Ohio was having wonderful warm weather he longed to get back to Akron and the good old faithful wheel was put in motion and arrived in Cedarville - on Wednesday. I t had no motor trouble but the gears went wrong somewhere and Wolford’s garage was sought out for repairs. The rider had covered seven mites that morning with ten a- bove zero to keep him from getting over-heated. The Florida visitor was convinced of one thing and that was he had failed to find warm weather in Ohio. It had taken him three weeks to reach Cedarville. The1federal treasury statement for March 2, is interesting. Probably few that noticed it gave it much consider- tion. Balance $354,802,632.06; ex­ penditures, $24,365,819.76; customs receipts, $1,746,728.84. In other words the expenditures were about 23 mil­ lion more than the receipts. How long could a corporation continue in busi­ ness under such methods? How long can the government without making effort "to reduce overhead? The de­ pression will never be iifted'With that kind of financiering. The last march for ■ the “March King”, John Phillip Sousa, was yes­ terday, his death taking place Sat­ urday night. While he has headed many a parade on horseback and on foot, this time he rode as have others, probably with the strains of slow music and bowed heads. He was known the world over as the compos­ er of some 250 musical works. He be­ came leader of the Marine Band in 1880, where he served for. 12 years, under fiVe presidents from Hayes to McKinley. In 1892 he organized his famous S o u s a ’s Band”, which has been a national institution ever since. Friday a t 6 o’clock the dead line falls for candidates filing their petitions for the primary. Chief con­ cern in Ohio has been whether the Ohio Anti Saloon League Can muster a candidate favorable to the dryx for the Republican nomination for United States Senator. When Col. Carmi Thompson' declined to run, the League lost its best chance according to all observers, There will be probably two or three Republican candidates but all announced thus fa r are for modi­ fication of the Volstead act to permit the sale of wine and beer. The Dem­ ocrat nominee will be wet also so the drys will have no choice. Politicians are now leaning more and more to the wet side seeing a change in public sentiment and realizing the League as a potential political force is no longer feared. It will be interesting to watch so-called dry candidates of the past climb the “modifeation band The new tax bill offered in congress to balance the budget, provides for a manufacturers’ o r sales tax that is to be passed on to the consumer. The rate proposed is 2 1-4 per cent. There will be lowering of the income tax ex­ emptions from $1,500 for single men to $1,000; married men from $3,500 to $2,500. This will naturally have some effect on state income taxes, a field 'that should belong exclusively to the federal government with low exemp­ tions. Of course there cannot be two income taxes and keep people sweet. The more that are included the more danger there will be a t the polls on election day. A Senate committee is considering reducion of certain sal­ aries, Trouble broke out at once with the Federal Farm Beard where salar­ ies range down from $75,000 yearly. Naturally the farm politicians are not interested in the price of milk, wheat, pork or beef when salaries are in the five figure column. The Farm Board is also peeved because congress voted to give 40 million bushels of govern­ ment owned wheat to the Red Cross to feed the unemployed. The Farm Board is one organization that should be abolished. I March 9th is a date in Cedarville’* history not often referred to and St is well that some unfortunate things are not often reviewed. I t was the date 1 when the village treasurer took for parts unknown with the village’s cash. ‘ So far as the public knows the then treasurer never returned. He was under bond a t the time but the village • had the experience of several suits in court. The' year we believe was J 1887. « wagon/ The Ohio constitution requires a vote a t the ‘November election on this question, “Shall there be a convention to revise, alter, or amend the constitution?” At first thought it might be said to be a needless expense and a number of organizations are already oppos­ ing it. On the other hand there is great need of such a convention. The last was held in 1912 and we face many new things that need attention, The legislature and the Ohio Supreme Court by decisions have tied the hands of the elec­ tors in many wayo. One might be mentioned. If a referendum was possible, which the constitu­ tion intended on tax laws, denied by courts, more or less politi­ cally controlled, we would not be in the situation we are in, Many NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate of Florence S.
