FRIDAY, APRIL 1 ,1982 ALL FOOLS DAY NO FOOLER FOR TAXPAYER Today, Friday, is “ Ail Fool’s Day” but Mr. Common Citizen is not to be Tooled witn Congress handing out tax legislation by the billion and the Ohio legislature drawing around thirty mil­ lion for public relief. Congress last week turned down.the sales tax and this week picks out a score or more ways to find a few hundred million to balance the budget, rather than reduce the cost of government one cent. , • Income, automobile, amusement, chewing gum, furs and a long list of articles used every day have been singled out for the new tax. As for. results Congress might just as well stood by the sales-tax and treated all interests the same. The private citizen must no\V pay three-eents'for letter postage to keep up the po ^office building program which is breaking up the gov­ ernment. Telephone and telegraph messages, bank checks and safety boxes in banks are included, and the citizen is A Uowed to the grave and higher inheritance taxes are imposed. Congress is thoroughly intoxicated with the tax raising fever and may not stop even at balancing the budget, a thing that has not happen­ ed the past few' years. Why now, Washington does not tell us? It has been proposed to pay the World War. Veterans the balance of their adjusted compensation that would cost about two billion more. President Hoover immediately announced opposition to this and threatens a veto. Congress seems de­ termined to give the President a chance. While this- is no time fnr hitlinn dollar tax collections, yet Congress might just as well ■ it V 7 .X _ ..L _ i. ! „ J . . XI* « «** rnL ^ L .v,X> .. ’V« n w » n /l * v* •I'TiTT give the Veterans what is due them.- The boys who served in .the trenches have as much right to their money as the foreign na­ tions have had to billion dollar loans frpm this nation.1 We no longer look on government in terms of millions but billions now .and two billion more debt cannot make matters muehworse for the taxpayer and the consumer who must pay the bill. It does appear as if there was no way to break down mounting govern­ mental costs other than wrecking the nation completely by tax­ ing industry and the people until both are lifeless. There is no encouragement for business and certainly nc prospect for improved markets for f ? ”m products under such a system of taxation being forced on the people at a time when they are least able to carry the load. Disappointment is evident everywhere. Party lines are completely broken down not only in Congress in passing tax legislation, but over the country. The nation is headed for a revolt on the part of taxpayers just as citizens of Chicago have refused to pay taxes the past two years. Mr. Edward E. Greiner, candidate fpi* Congress on the Re­ publican ticket is the only candidate that has an open platform on governmental costs. He says the government is spending fourteen billions of dollars annually. Six billion dollars goes into the hands of officials. He suggests that public officials on the government payroll take a 15 per cent cut on salaries which would bring a saving of some nine hundred million dollars. In two years the deficit which exists would be practically wiped out. There is reason and good argument for such a reduction but the nation is in the hands of elective and appointed officials most of whom are fighting salary reductions. Mr. Greiner says agricultureand industry have been forced to accept cuts in al) profits and incomes and the government should do likewise The Greiner platform also says officials are trying to re­ store prosperity, by ^increased taxation. ‘ ‘This in my judgment is'the wrong thing to do, and not fair to the American people.” Mr. Greiner is actively engaged in business as well as the ownei of a farm. He knows both sides. His best judgment is reflect­ ed in his platform. His interests cannot be taxed without injury to all other interests during such a time when all business is at a standstill. Sending a professional office seeking politician to congress that does not own more than an automobile, a pair of mortgages, a shinny trouser seat and a pair of .elbows, is no promise that even the Seventh District has contributed to a possible change in conditions over what we experience today. If we expect such a change we must take a candidate at his printed and spoken wo^d, pledging his vote first to reduce his own salary as congressman and support such measures as will lift some o f the burden from business,'industry and agriculture. You can never expect a professional politician to vote this way •and being true to his ideals of government one of Mr. Greiner’s opponents, who has drawn thousands and thousands of dollars in ptdhlic salary, is making no promise or pledge, secretly or openly that he will vote otherwise than to continue, the-salary appointees as they are now— or 'even grant them higher salaries with an occasional increase for himself'if he should be success­ ful. Mr. Greiner is to be congratulated on his open platform. # i e Cl The Herald had quite a compliment paid it in the last issue of ‘“Nation's business, monthly magazine of nation­ al scope of interest to bankers, manu­ facturers and business men, quoted a recent editorial from the Herald on governmental activity in private bus iness. Should all the candidates, Republi­ can and Democratic, running in the primary for sheriff and county com­ missioner, come to Cedarville at one time the authorities would have to en force parking regulations to the let ter. There are two Republican and five Democratic candidates for sheriff and eleven Republican and two .Democrat ic candidate for commissioner. " V Taxpayers* Associations are going t&. taka this position along with the lino of salary reductions from top to bot­ tom in the state. Business is on the up-grade with gasoline prices going up every few days, another one-half cent being ad­ ded Tuesday. The shortage of gaso- lino or excessive demand cannot be responsible for the increased price as motor traffic has dropped, fewer auto­ mobiles licensed, but the companies force up the price in the face of very low wholesale prices. “ Sometimes our biggest executives misread the mblic mind and often “ kill the goose that lays the golden egg,” What this town needs is an independent oil sta­ tion that can supply gasoline at lower prices. Local dealers cannot help themselves for the big companies only a few weeks ago took off part of their profit. The big oil companies make the claim that if ths public can af­ ford to pay an additional cent a gal­ lon tax it can also afford to pay one more cent profit. COLLEGE NOTES (CoaUniMd from pact 11 The part that certain organized farm interests are taking against the organization of county taxpayers’ as­ sociations, is not going to do-farm in­ terests any good.- Most of these tax organizations are urging a reduction in cost of all government but want to see the knife applied at the top of the list in Washington- and Columbus first-aniLmt single out. the little fel­ lows. When large salaries arc reduc­ ed it will not be long until the cut will follow down to county, city, town and township with school included. The jut would have been made sooner but for the organized farm politicians on the public pay roll. DUTIES OF PROPERTY OWNERS While property owners carry insurance for fire protection and probably have not been getting all that was due them in case o f a fire loss, there are numerous responsibilities all prop­ erty owners must carry. Due caution must be exercised to keep property free as possible from fires. In France where a fire is the result of negligence, and a neighbor’s property burns, the loss falls on the one responsible for the fire. In Cincinnati if you are notified to remove a fire hazard and do not and fire results, the. cost of taking the fire department out is placed against the property owner. With all property owners using more care as fire hazards, we would have lower insurance rates. TUCKSo fMAGIC fp HOW TO KNOCK A CARD THROUGH TABLE 0 41 n i . . . v , . . ’ T CAkD STICKS TO BACK OP WAND X a w j f , J if: mm While the legislature was conven­ ing Tuesday afternoon to pass laws to provide for relief due to unemploy­ ment, a crowd estimated from 1000 to 1500 men were assembled on the north side of the Capitol to hear talks by Communist leaders who were ridicul­ ing the plans for-public relief. All sorts of banners were in evidence to appeal 'to men out of employment that it was money they wanted, not food or clothing. A few banners called for unemployment insurance. Much has been said about the dole as provided, in England, yet there is dissatisfac­ tion there because it is not larger. There is no place for the dole in-this country and those who have advocat­ ed unemployment insurance have only added to the unrest that exists, The large per eentage of laboring men are not in sympathy with the dole, but they do want a chance to make an honest living by their labor to provide, for themselves and their families. The problem of employment the next few years promises to be an im­ portant one due to the fact that.so many of our large companies have opened branch factories in various parts of the world where labor is very much cheaper. With mass production at home and n limited market, we fear the labor problem is to give the iountry something serious to think about. Congressman Will Wood of Indiana in a radio address Monday night told the nation that higher taxes were to be forced on the people regardless of the consequences and the people must accept i t '•and support the govern­ ment. He says the budget must be balanced but nothing was said about the powers in Washington operating the government on its present income Moreover he took everyone to task who was critizlng the President dur­ ing the present depression. It is not likely that Cong. Wood even made a vote for President for his re-election for the reason the pub­ lic has a different;,idea about the plan proposed to balance the bidget. More taxes at this critical time ape just as is disturbing to the Hoover adminls painful to the public as the criticism tration. We might refer back to the days v f the Woodrow Wilson admin istration when Republicans eveh rid iculed his League of Nations plan while he was on his death bed. We opposed the Wilson plan at that time and President Hoover must take his share o f criticism along with any other public officials. He is no super­ man and has made mistakes, and no houdt will make more in and out of public office. Admissjon of a mis take and willingness to make.correc­ tion will win more confidence on the part o f the public. Have somebody select a card and place it on top of a pack. Lay the pack on a table near the edge and inform your audience that you will knock the card selected through the table, secretly moisten the hack of your band with saliva, strike the pa< It u blow and quickly lower your hand beneath tho table, as though to fatch the card as It falls. The top curd of the pack will stick to the hack of your moistened hand, whore it is hidden irmti view, and will be tarried below the table as you lower your hand, i’ou then pick it off the floor and bring it back to the table. <• tConyricht. will h, Mmiiwrat.t Within the past few months many of our prominent business men have been taken by death. Many only in the'fifties .but when we examine their business careers they have no doubt been put through a test that has been more than the mind and body would endure. Several have taken their own lives over business worries and great loss financially, . These are trying times, pay-day as the saying goes for the “joy-ride” the past ten or fifteen years. Great fortunes were won and lost within that period. Good will comes out of it only by obeying the economic laws. No make-shift plan can be devised to take the place of the law of supply and demand. It Js fun­ damental and cannot be escaped any more than the ten laws laid down by Moses, A “human checker game” is being played between authorities in Middle- town, O., and Monifee county, Ky., over a man and his wife, and six children; The family had . come to Middletown where the father could get work in the days off>prosperity. The family has been destitute for a number of weeks and Middletown ships the family back to Kentucky. The Kentucky^authorities say the family has lost its residence legally in that state and returns the parents and children by train back to Middle- town. It being. Middletown’s next move the family was dispatched back to Kentucky Saturday, with the de­ mand that they had better not re turn to Middletown. Thus you have the situation of cities two years ago begging rural people to move into the city, a setup job of the census bureau to count them and all other out of town workers,, as citizens. When it comes time to feed them now the authorities are doing everything pos­ sible to unload the unemployed back on the rural sections. The city pay roll was the attraction. The city took all the money from this class that was possible and now unemployed labor is forced to return to the coun­ try, for the rural sections to support. Now the cities are asking the state to finance relief for the hungry. Bonds to' be'issued and paid by a utility tax that may be added to your gas, light or telephone bill. If not sufficient funds can be raised in this.: manner to pay the bonds, then real estate is to be taxed. Money, bonds, etc can­ not be taxed to pay bonds under clas sification. Someday the real estate owners will awake to what classiflca- ;’.on was for. Ketnucky has clas­ sification and is Hour bullions in debt and the legislature'adjourned in a hot fight without making provision to pay the debt created by classification. “HERALDWANT ANDSALEADSPAY* The Preble County Tax Payers’ league has taken action and is urging a reduction o f 10 to 25 per eent in the value of real estate in « that county. The league has already taken up tho question with the boaril of revision in the county and it will go next to the State Tax Commission. Many of the ' Henry M, Leland, noted automobile engineer died Met week at the age of 89 years, after rising to a prominent place in the industrial world ,and then tasting of the descent that frequently ion; to many men some time in life. Leland was the first inventor of the horse-clippers and later the model in use in. barbershops. When the auto­ mobile looked like a prospect for fu­ ture business he designed the firBt Cadillac and was president of the company many years. Following the sale of this company to General Mo­ tors he developed the Lincoln, which later gave him fame hut cost him much of his fortune. History will al­ ways be generous with •him as ac­ complishments must.always be cred­ ited to him. The business world of today is a cold and in some respects a cruel place and what should always be the ripe and mellow years o f de­ clining life, turn out to be the reverse. The announcement that Cedarville College Will have a summer School during the vacation period wifi add to the stir of the village during the summer. It wifi mean new boarders and roomers and should stimulate lo­ cal business. Early reports indicate a good attendance. What about wheat this year and is tho farmer to be any better rewarded than last year? This question is now being discussed. What can be done a- bout it no one seems to know. Aus- trailia, New Zeland and Chile har­ vested wheat in January. Egypt in February and March. Next •month, May, Texas will begin. In June a tier of the southern states turn out a crop. July finds the central states in mid-harvest and the northern states and Canada come next. Reports are that Texas and most of the south­ western wheat states have been fav­ ored with plenty of snow and spring rains to insure a crop. Western ele­ vators are bulging yet with the 1931 crop. How can wheat be sold and who is there to purchase it? Uncle Sam’s farm board of farmer politi­ cians are still in existence with a two million a year pay roll and loosing money each week on mliions of bush- .tls ot wheat purchased with the tax­ payer’s money. From indications it looks like we are to have plenty of wheat even to feed hogs, but the political swine fattening on fat sal­ aries wifi have no worries. 666 LIQUID — TABLETS — SALVE 666 Liquid or Tablets used Internally ahd 666 Salve externally,.^gke a cbm- pleto and effective treatment for Colds.

Here he learn­ ed to love nature and all growing things. The plant kingdom seemed to know him, and his touch would’ give .life to any erstwhile drooping rose. His love for flowers throughout hiB entire life, and the one joy he express­ ed during his long illness, was for the pleasure and comfort, Ajie flowers in his room, gave to him. - He passed on to the other world at the age of 64 years, 4 months and.22 days; being preceeded in death by one sister, besides 'father and mother. Four sisters and one brother stand at the bier today, mourning a brother, who constantly believed, blindly and implicitly, and practiced loyalty to his family and relatives. , ■ ■ His youth and early manhood was spent on the' farm working with his father.' At the age of 12, following the Savior’s example, he stood up, ac­ knowledged the King and was accept­ ed as a member of the United Presby­ terian church of Cedarville,, O. To this faith, he remained steadfast, un­ til he moved to Washington- C. H. with his own family in 1897. His let­ ter was transferred to the Presbyter­ ian church, from which he asked that it not be removed, during his lifetime. On Ney Year's eve, Dec. 31st, 1891, he .was married to. Ola Emma Lott of Cedarville, O., who has remained ever loving and loyal with the afflicted husband. Five boys were born of this union, all of whom survive the fath­ er. John Harold o f Pittsburgh, Pa., William Paul of Columbus, O., Fred Lott o f Cleveland, O., Robert Glenn of Gary, Ind., and Edward Mills, who makes his home with'his mother.. Perhaps next to his love o f nature, was his great desire to see, play with', and-love his grand-children. -The laughter and childish pranks of the four grand-daughters and two grand-sons, who survive him, were never stilled while, near him. Fifteen years ago, the hustle and busy life, he had lead providing for his wife, and fathering his five boys, was suddenly stopped. God in his wisdom, doeth things, though we hu­ mans may never, his meaning learn. From active participation in life, the father gradually through the years took on an attitude of detached calm. Though pain may have been with him in the flesh yet to no one did he complain of it; but always he INSTRUCTION- Principals, Teachers, etc. _______________ ;_____ Auxiliary' Agencies— Employes for Transportation of Children_____ Qperation of School Plant— Janitors, Engineers and other employes _j___ _ .
