FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1932. COUNTY OFFICIALS BEING PUT ON SPOT Borne official* eft the county pay roll are being put on the “ spot” , *a a result of the congressional contest. It Beems the methods o f the old George B. Cox gang in Cincinnati are being enforced. County officials are being called to the office of a certain Common Pleas Judge who has grown big since he has had a few years on the bench at a handsome salary and in ad­ dition to his usual salary has received $20 a day and all expen* ses while presiding in Cuyahoga county courts. For this reason the panic has not disturbed the judge much. Officials are brought before the judge to state their posi­ tion relative to the Congressional race in behalf of Marshall I f we are able to analyze the situation from results the judge should summon several hundred Greene county voters before him in his private office behind locked door and tell them what they must do or be kicked out of a job. Red blood still flows through the necks o f a few men that have some backbone and have given the judge and his Congressional candidate the merry ha! ha! One official'who was on the Republican ticket as a delegate to the state convention is a veteran who saw ser­ vice has resigned, rather than be a tool in the hands of poli­ ticians who only wanted him for trading purposes. He deserves much credit for displaying his independence. The cellar window and porch climbing method may take the gangster to the family jewel box but it is going to be rough route for any Congressional candidate, or judge, to club people into line'for the gang candidate. - - SALARIES, REDUCTIONS; FARM BOARD While scanning an exchange from a neighboring county . we notice where a speaker at a County Taxpayer’s League took what to us was an unusual position,, in view’ of the fact that all farm interests were demanding reductions in government. This farmer held it was inconsistant, and without precedent, that the farm interests should demand certain salary puts with school teachers and county officials and not oppose the hugh salaries paid members of the Federal Farm Board. The speaker even questioned the creation of such a board and was inclined to be­ lieve the board had done much more damage than good to the farmer. We have noticed for some time that paid representa­ tives o f farm organizations have been strong for most any kind of a farm board or movement that carried salaried positions. It is almost certain that if a canvass was m^de seven out of ten farmers are opposed to. the farm'board and all that it has done. Scores of our most successful farmers locally can .be named! as open' opponents of the present-plan, and especially the salaries paid. The Cincinnati Times-Star a few days ago stated that government costs could not be reduced when Congress approp ‘ riates $13,000,000 for salaries for 6,000 county agents in 4000 countips in this country. We do not single out the county agent that he is a useless employee on the public payroll, but that all interests must stand reductions, but reductions must come from the top down, otherwise only a few county officials or school teachers would be reduced and the higher salaried class remain where it is. WHERE WAS MARSHALL DURING THE WAR? One thing you have not heard yet—but there is time enough before the campaign closes, is an attack on the War record of Edward E. Greiner, candidate for cottgress in the Seventh Dis­ trict. . When his country called for his service Mr. Greiner die not. wait for the draft but enlisted from information we have at hand.' He left prospects of business, profits, family and rela­ tives to share his burden along with millions o f others. He saw and had part in service that resulted in victory. But all this is not the only requirement for recognition as a candidate for the honor he seeks. He returned; took up business affairs, and has been successful as a manufacturer, banker and land owner. He knows business and practices honorable business methods and stands high in the' estimation o f his fellow citizens in Spring field. He has always had a part in civic movements in his city and never forgot his “ buddies” wherever He met them. He now has their loyal support. But where was Marshall during the days millions of our youth were in the trenches facing hell-fire and poison gas? Did he offer to enlist?,No! Thirty dollars a month and rations out of a can around a cold wet camp was*not. his fortune. Instead he paraded about on the blood-money profit from the sale of Gei- ger-Jones stocks to innocent men and women that knew not their value. Some o f his clients lost their all, Others lost their health and minds and became wards of'the state. What a con­ trast between the two records. Who is there that can defend Marshall’s position? Let’s hear from him who cares to put his n&me in print! •HiMiiittiiiiiiimiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiiniHiifiMMiiiimiiiij ELECTRICAL { r e p a ir in g !

Salaries of elective officials are fixed by law and cannot be reduc ed unless by voluntary action on the part of.officials. Gov. White is to name a commission to make a survey and report relative reducing all state and county salaries. It is reported the Governor will call the legislature in session late this summer to pass the necessary legislation. Secretary of State Clarence J. Brown, who is i candidate for the Republican nomina­ tion for governor, stated recently he was opposed to reducing salaries Of appointive officials until the higher paid or elective officials were reduced first. After so long a time official Washington has woke up and there is now a movement to repdre the sal­ aries of all government officials. It has always been our idea that Federa salaries should be reduced first, par­ ticularly when the -government is-now many millions behind. The Federal government, like all states, can abol­ ish many commissions and bureaus and lessen the tax burden. When these are reduced then come oh down the line. the ops* eventually to the United State* Supreme Const, In sash an event the tax cannot be collected in the meantime and no bank or broker­ age house would purchase the bonds.

The simplest remedy -would be to dose these stock exchanges, as well ns others, and let the law o f “ supply and demand” have a chance, " A Rotary Club speaker in Cincin­ nati made a notable speech that has a ne.w tinge to it, and is much differ­ ent than what is usually heard around the dinner club tables. He said: “We must stand with faith and hope till the day dawns and morning comes again, as always, it has come and al­ ways will.*' So ’said Dr. W. P. Dear- ing, president Oakland City, Ind., Col­ lege,’before the Rotary Club. “ I am a rebel—in—rebellion against the machine age, not against ma­ chines, but against the spirit, o f the machine era. I am tired o f the roar of wheels, wheels, Wheels! I want to hear the human heartbeat, the cry of baby; tired o f looking up to our tow- ar bkyscrappers and longing to look to towering characters, men like Washington, that we need so much in this time. 1 am tired of this incessant talk of speed—80, 00 miles an h o u r - tired of the unending chatter about racketeers, and would like to see more speed in moving toward the high call mg o f human service. “I f the present partial quiet o f the wheels o f industry is the price wo must pay’ to hear again the human heart throb, 'perhaps the price wil not be too big.” The faith o f Job is needed today, the faith to aay Though he slay me, yet will I trust him.’ ” or Several days ago a speaker under the auspices o f the Farm Bureau came near raising a disturbance in Xenia meeting, when he attacked the banks, management, etc. The speech is said to'have met objection from one in the audience, who challenged some of his statements. It was only a few days ago that another Farm Bureau speaker in a radio address became ve­ hement in his criticism o f banks. The speakers made statements in each of these instances that if made by foreigner, would have lead to depor­ tation. Both waxed o f Socialism and Communism, pure and simple. Their idea of banking, would put farming in the. same class with a dictator just as we find in Russia and Italy. When we look over bank directorates in al­ most every county seat and village in­ stitution we find some o f our mo* progressive and successful farmers. When these speakers attack banka hi most cases it reflects back to rura citizens. Neither made distinction be tween the rural bank, city bank, the international banker. As to the latter class we cannot endorse owing to billions of American money being loans abroad, never to be returned. In this the administration in Washing­ ton is partially repsonsible and must carry its share o f criticism. We must have banks which are as important as railroads. Banks are operated under certain laws, if the law is wrong it should be changed. I f bank manage­ ment has violated the law, there is a remedy. Bankers are human and o f course subject to judgment that may be right the day decision is made but proven to be wrong * year or so later. The banker may loan you money on good faith that you will pay it back on the designated date.' If one hun­ dred or one thousand persons that get loans from an institution do not pay their notes when due, the bank may fait with.“frozen loans” . The respon­ sibility in such cases then lies With patrons that make good their prom­ ise to the bank. We doubt if there are very many farm bureau speakers i that are qualified to speak with much j authority on banking.

Phone 28 j Wheat has been an important, topic this week due to the increase in price in the Chicago market. How long will the price stay up? Will it go higher? Is it only.a bubble? Such questions are interacting just now. From the rural standpoint wheat at Yec in the local market would work wonders. At $1 prosperity Would be met at the old corner we have heard so much about. While Wheat is on the upward the death o f Joseph Leiter, 63, Chicago, Monday, brings out some intersting wheat history. It was back in 1897 when Leiter was 29. years of. age and a fortmie o f thirty million dollars in hand that he -onceived the idea of buying ail the wheat in the country and selling it at his own price. He had the money 'but like other plans carefully worked put, he had over­ looked something—possible failure. He started to buy wheat at 73c and by the next spring had 18 million bushels o f cash wheat with 22 million bushels of futures, He had forced the price to $1.85, a world’s record. At this juncture Phillip Armour, million­ aire packer, had sold Leiter nine mil­ lion bushels, but could not get the ac­ tual *heat. Armour offered to buy out the Leiter holdings which would have 'given him a net profit o f four millkin dollars. Leiter refused to sell Armour spent a million hiring tugs to break the See in the upper lakes to reach Duluth. There he purchased (8 million bushels and dumped it on ihe Chicago market and Leiter lost all his paper profits and ten mil ton more. Leiter had planned well beWying the jDuluth wheat could hot be delivered owing to frozen lakes but Armeur' set ,a new precedent Thus endeA a combat o f giant millionaires. Leiter overlooked safe rale o f busi­ ness in refusing to sell when he had the opportunity o f a reasonable profit. Infsome respects the nation as well *$ the state o f New Jersey have not instilled confidence In the public as a result o f recent developments in the Lindbergh kidnaping case. It is a crit­ ical situation when a father must on his pwn responsibility deal with the gangster* to get his own son. It is worse when he Is betrayed after the ransom money is paid. We as a na­ tion* can boast o f much but we must admit-a weakness in our handling of the crime situation. As far as one is able to judge Lindbergh is out $50,000 and knows nothing more then the day the child disappeared. The nation has enough ships to sweep the sea and army large enough tc olean out every den o f vice, bootlegger, gang head­ quarters, but apparently Jeaderieas when it comes to combating such for­ ces, Millions .are appropriated to en­ force prohibition but enforcement a- gents are the product o f some politi­ cal machine and under orders that do not bring the results desired.
