Mechanics Lein law for the protection of material and supply dealers as well as all kinds of labor from the intrigue of those who would purchase material for a building or get the use o f labor and then attempt to defeat payment o f just and honest bills. It is a good law, fair to all interests and works no hardship or embarrassment on the own­ er of an office building, factory, home or farm buildings. The law has been on the Ohio statutes for many years. The only vital attempt to break down the law or emascu­ late it in any way was back during the term of L. T. Marshall, as State Senator ( ? ) from the Fifth-Sixth District. Without warning to interests that had protection under the law the Senator ( ? ) introduced in the Ohio Senate Bill No. 81 during the 87th General Assembly, to make certain changes in the law that would have jepordiz'ed the very purpose of the law. The material people along with the representatives o f the lumber interests, supported by labor, began a fight on the Marshall bill and it was sent to the Senate graveyard. To have permitted the changes proposed would have placed the above interests at the mercy of. anyone who would have planned to defeat payment of honest debts. Senator Marshall ( ? ) never had the courage to make a public statement as to the necessity of his bill No. 81. There ~was no~demand“for-ehanges iuthe- law-by-those whom it was- intended to protect, The only disturbance the proposed change caused was the awakening of material and labor interests to stapd by the original law. The attempted change was so raw and brazen that the bill could not pass muster of those who stood for a square deal for everyone. This was not the only bill, either introduced or supported, by Sen. ( ? ) Marshall that was not for the public welfare. His famous Senate Bill No. 81 providing a legal graft for unscrupu­ lous constables and justice o f the peace.on a salary basis of $200 a month for the former and $300 a month for the later, the motorist to be the victim for this fee-salary-plan grab, all to be guaranteed by the taxpayers. Imagine today, in this day of hunger and unemployment, justices of peace and constables on the necks of the taxpayers for such salaries. Delving deeper in the Marshall senatorial ( ? ) record of reformation and regeneration, with the high priests of Wester­ ville leading, only to be followed by the burning cross and the ‘ night-gown wearers, we now come to the Senator ( ? ) in person, with his?political sponsor, former lobbyist for Cincinnati li­ quor interests. Those were great days for the Senate during 1927 declared a moratorium on all unnecessary legislation to take care of the Pemberton, et al lobby interests. The Senator had passed the Westerville test, playcated the crowd that re­ ceived inspiration from a burning cross, voted religictusly on all utility measures, it was not to be unexpected that the Hon. De­ witt Clinton Pemberton, would doll-up in his minstrel suit, in­ cluding green spats, and wine and dine the faithful in a leading hotel for those like the Senator ( ? ) , who had made possible a five figure salary for lobbyists. The party was a success, The •food came from the hotel’s best kitchen. The, liquor was intox­ icating for part of the guests lounged on the floor while others stood on the table and sang “ The Gang’s All Here” , “ Sweet Adeline” and “ We Won’t go Home Until Morning” , all by the permission o f the (CSpyffght owners. With Marshall and Pemberton in action in Washington, it might be expected that the Seventh District interests would be in safe hands. Both are part of the old Daugherty machine in the district and would be at home in the famous Green House pn K Street, made famous by the Ohio gang, that sent one Pres­ ident to his grave with a broken heart. Marshall and Pember­ ton have the “ pass word” but it is up to a majority of the voters to, sign the “ pass-port” . Will the Seventh District’make pos­ sible the opportunity for repeating such a legislative record as Marshall left a sa State Senator? Ohio has learned one important fact about state operation and that is the legislature will not be in session? long when the member# get no pay as was the case last week when the Gen­ eral Assembly was called to pass re* lief laws. Staying at a city hotel without salary or expense money is not a paying proposition, Consequent­ ly the members hurried 'through the law making business, adjourned and returned home. Now comes the sug­ gestion that when the regular session starts next December, that all mem­ bers be paid in full for two years sal­ ary. Business will be handled in #P- pie-pie order and haste made to get back home to cheat the hotels out of as much board and room rent as pos­ sible. Meantime there will not be the opportunity of passing bo many laws. Wa ar* told the depression has put near Ufa in one business that only a year or so was regarded dead. The Old Gray Mara Is again taking the spotlight^ and many harness makers ate again on the job. Gasoline for a time Had the Old Gray Mare and the utrasse maker on the discarded list Hit Old Man Depression now decrees otherwise. Twenty emit corn and sev­ enteen emit gasoline, less the tax, do not go together say farmers and the demand for horses has increased. The demand for work harness follows. A report from Marietta says one of the leading harness manufacturers in the country located there is again in full blast. Charles F. Strecker, president of the company says orders have been coming in faster in recent weeks than in a number of years past. \ H O W LO B BY IST PEM BERTON R EACH ED FAM E The word “ lobbyist” has just as much prominence in our present day legislation as a state legislature or congress itself. It is to the advantage of a lobbyist to have one or more loyal members o f a legislative branch on his staff. It gives him op­ portunity of information, how others might stand on certain bills, and who s]jould be lined’ up for or against as the case should be. • D. C. Pemberton, who figures much in Seventh District pol­ itics, is a recognized lobbyist of long years of experience. He is no piker at the game so long as he has a willing tool to carry out his orders. He represented the retail liquor dealers, saloon keepers in Cincinnati as lobbyist in the days when prohibition was being- brought to light through local option. He fought ev­ ery local option hill as well as all other bills' to regulate the saloon from Sunday closing to the famous sitting-room and its red-light habitants. He once commanded much influence in ,Clinton county where he was recognized as “ boss” among the politicians until some became wards of the state either in Col­ umbus or at the state summer resort near London. Clinton county has tired ,of his rule and' the Republican voters of the Seventh District must say May 10th whether he is to continue through a protege. MAGIC »M % "1 m d h o t s i o o ^ o TR ICK FOR D IN ING ROOM M AG IC IAN S Had Gov, White not restricted the legislature too relief and one taxa­ tion subject, it is hard to tell just how many bills would have been presented. The tax problem is troublesome to al citizens at this time and Classification is just about as popular as would be a hornet’s nest dropped from the ceil­ ing of the legislative halls while the members were in session. Leaden in the former session in behalf o f classi­ fication knew it would not ' do to let the subject get on the floor. A cold chill went, up and down more than one back when Gov. White.asked the law­ makers to pass a law extending the time twenty days in April for the filing o f returps. This was done with­ out opposition. The Gov. had aBked the State Tax Commission to extend the time as an accomodation to the nublic but there was a question o f the legality. Franklin county just completed the collection Saturday last of the real estate tax due in December. Other counties in the state are about as far behind. Franklin county reports delinquent tax this year for the De­ cember collection alone of more than one million dollars. This added to the delinquency the past year or so makes a total of more than five million dol* iars. Cuyahoga county has many mil­ lions o f delinquent taxes: Other popu lous counties are in like condition. What is to become of. all this property should it go to sale ? I f as the law provides the county or state, mus; take it over,, what will become o f it? T|iere are thousands o f acres of land in subdivisions around citiea that have been graded, walks and sewer put down that has been unsold; Scores of these development companies have gone into receivership. Thousands of individual lot owners have refused to pay the taxes, on unimproved lots. It is a situation the like o f which Ohio has never experienced. The man on a farm or in a Home that does not pay his taxes will be sold out and some one will purchase it if the county or state does not.. The depression has given us much to think about and we now have plenty of time to do the thinking. We were going so fast be­ fore few stopped to think. It is like the old saying: "marry in haste and relent in leisure."

We have prohibition and the manufacture of home brew is regarded unlawful. Now comes Con­ gress and places a special tax on all home brew products, known mostly as "malt". With it Congress also put a tax on grape concentrates ’ and other products for making wine o f strong alcoholic content. If you are arrest-; ed for having home brew in your pos­ ition you have been arrested for using a product that "Uncle Sam" not only pehnits the sale of but upon which a heavy tax is to be collected. The wets are watching President Hoover to see whether he vetoes or signs the malt tax bill. In 1910 there were 834 chattel mor- tages filed in Greene county with an average o f $162 each, or a total of $136,108. In 1920 there were 837 mort­ gages filed with an average of $263, or a total o f $220,131. In 1930 the mortgage list totaled 4,316 with an average of $264, or a ottal o f $1,095,- 487. The high point reached in the number of mortgages filed -was In 1929 with’ 4,760, an average of $262, and totaled $1,197,000. This would indicate that a county like Greene, which is no different than other rural counties, had consdierable property "paper covered." The figures are in­ teresting and gives us an inventory of how we stand. Hera Is a good trick to perform at the dining table.

The fewer cars that are made, the higher they must be in price, ' President Jordan, o f a motor car manufacturing company bearing his name tells "How I Cured My Depres­ sion." “ Before the accident," (depression, " I had been what is colloquially cal­ led a big shot, In- other words, if a grocer in East Cleveland, where I lived, found himself facing a deficit at the dose of any given month he would call his bookkeeper and say, 'Rebecca, get out those Jordon family slips, and .we’ll balance the budget.” "For a time I was simply crushed- I hardly knew what to do. If the news got around (o some, o f my favorite Clubs that I had lost my step-ins, think yhat would happen to my social standing." Then he discovered that everybody else was in the same boat and hie' set out on a health-seeking junket -for a year, waiting for things to become more settled. , “ I say you do not learn by reading" “ There is nothing in our American ed­ ucational system more instructive than a kick in the pants. I have read all the great philosophers, from Con­ fucius down to Henry Mencken and Senator Borah. The best philosophy I ever heard can be expressed in three words—-“Don’t kid -yourself." That realization helped me to cure my de­ pression. "Right now I think many o f us realize our own future depends en­ tirely upon ourselves—not our friends the moratorium, Andrew’ Mellon, the tariff, the repeal o f the Volstead Act, or upon Herbert Hoover. "This habit of blaming Hoover for all our headaches is silly. To be a pop­ ular’ president o f the U. S. today one would have to tie a combination of Von Hindenberg, Douglass Fairbanks, Aimee . Semple McPherson, Bishop Cannon, Chief Justice Hughes and the Pope. Even then one would need God’s help in the pinches." “ If disaster should come and by a final cruel and crushing blow the na­ tion were reduced to junk, you would find the typical American sitting a- mong the ruins reading a hook by Ed­ die'Cantor entitled ‘Yoo-Hoo, Pros­ perity.’-’ The next day he would be teaching the Communist# how to shoot craps, or issue common stock. By dark he would have a mortgage on the Soviet. That’s America." "There won’t be any rapid return to booming prosperity—not while 25 cents of every dollar has to go for taxes. Yet I’ ll gamble that we are scraping bottom' right now." Mr. C.

V IF YOUNEEDPRINTINGDROP IN Again WE REPEAT m 1 7 - 1 9 There is many a smile among bus­ iness men in the capital of a neigh­ boring county these days. A number of months ago a leading bank was closed and charges against the head, of the institution lead to a long court trial that cost the county several thousand dollars, and the result was upset by a higher court granting)a new trial with more expense. Now it seems that this banker, who had tak­ en or applied for bankruptcy, has been offering ten and twenty dollar bills to tradesmen in his city when ever a purchase Is made. In as much #s these bills are all o f the old style there are wonderings in . more than one quarter if the campaign against hoarding had anything to do with bringing these old billa to light. How a "bankrupt” could be flush with ten and twenty dollar bills only adds to the complexity of the situation, We are in receipt o f a letter from W. R, Palmer, Editor o f the Barnes- viiie Enterprise, endorsing L. J. Ta­ ber as a candidate for United States Senator from Ohio at the Republican primary in May. Mr. Taber is pres­ ident o f the Enterprise Company, al­ so head o f the National Grange, vice president of two Land Banks, direc­ tor of an insurance company, and is the owner of a dairy farm. There are few people in Ohio that do not know of Mr. Taber and certainly nothing can be said against his candidacy other than something .political. He has no state political machine to baric him and must depend on his friends for support. Little can be said o f his opponent other than something po­ litical. He is a product o f the Cincin*; nati gang, and believes in gang poll- I views on other vital issues not in her- ■ tics and control. He has pronounced f mony with mast citizens we cannotj endorse. Mr. Taber merits the sup- j port o f Greene county Republicans in I the coming primary.
