FRIDAY, DECEMBRRJ. 8 , 1931, _ ■ MORATORIUM MAY BE RIGHT*, OR WRONG Congress is-deeply involved at present over the -moratorium granted foreign countries on the payment o f war debts to this f country. When the plan was proposed by President H oov e r « last summer it was warmly received, and although congress was I not in session, most members gave it open support. Since then public sentiment has changed. Granting foreign countries a holiday on payment o f a debt and at the same time proposing a higher tax;"on the people o f this country to provide government revenue, is more than the people can stand, especially during a low business period. . ’ As a result President Hoover and his administration face an embarrasing situation. It has been necessary fo r the Pres­ ident to send cabinet members before congressional committees to urge endorsement o f the moraturium. Moreover the Presi­ dent has announced that he is opposed to cancellation o f war debts, which, will be good, news to everyone. His position was never made public on this question until a few days ago. There probably is good ground to stand fo r the one year holiday, but no m ore ."Th e President may have overstepped his authority in promising such a plan which needed congressional endorsement, When citizens o f our own country were told that ' higher taxes were necessary, the moratorium immediately be- - came, unpopular, except with the international banking inter­ ests. European countries should be forced to pay the war debt i f fo r no other purpose than keeping them broke, which will be the best! guarantee against other wars, even among themselves. France, is second.to_the United States in th.e_awriership. o f go ld and is spending millions to keep up a large army and navy. England faces as serious economic trouble as does Germany, ye t both go on preparing fo r Another war. There can be no guarantee o f peace and still prepare fo r war. There should be no leniency shown countries maintaining big armies and yet crying poverty to escape war debts. .■*. President Hoover yet has the opportunity o f winning pub­ lic favor and winning over a critical public, regardless o f party lines, but it must be a move towards solving our domestic prob­ lems before we show much interest in conditions abroad. The people cannot be subjected to higher taxes, asked to feed the unemployed and not make it possible fo r labor to get back on the job to earn a living. As matters stand the world markets* are. now;closed to American made products. American capital has erected great factories abroad to get cheap labor, which has denied American labor the opportunity o f making a living. These companies went abroad to reap b ig profits from cheap labor and the government has no right to protect such com­ panies at the expense o f American capital and labor. George Washington's “ beware o f foreign entanglements” may once a- gain stir American citizenship to action different than what the authorities in Washington have, planned. OHIOANS TO THE FORE There is no unusual amount o f surprise ,in the announce­ ment that a good number o f prizes awarded at the Internation­ a l Live Stock Exhibition at Chicago came to Ohioan's. Natives o f this state are familiar with the ability o f its live stoek grow- ■ era, and the fa c t that such organizations as the Four-H clubs and others f o r youngsters flourish so well is proof enough that agricultural activity in all its forms is an engrossing subject to many people. Ohio is a great live stock state. Within its borders may be found the best o f conditions f o r live stock activity. W e have plains and hills, w oods and meadows, we have some interna­ tionally known breeders o f horses and cattle and our sheep are. Unequaled in quality. With the environment right all that is* needed fot* the last w ord in excellence is the intelligent and earnest work o f interested men and women. And, luckily, the state has ttyem, too.. Nowhere in the world is’to be found a more alert, a more efficient rural population than in this state. From the independence and ability o f its farmers, Ohio de­ rives a ‘ great portion o f its greatness, politically, historically, agriculturally and even industrially, fo r from the wealth which farmers have extracted from Ohio soil has grown some o f its in­ ternationally known industries and busy cities. The Ohioans 1 who won prizes at Chicago are to be congratulated. They are an asset to the state and an index to the quality o f agricultural activity carried on here. — Ohio State Journal.

Plumbing and Electric Shop What will the Christmas he? This is a question wo hear discussed more this year than in years past. O f course conditions are not the same this year as in other years and people may not feel inclined to go “ the limit." Each one can probably do something. It can be Christmas without being ex­ travagant. There are always places in every home where some little thing is need fo r the comfort o f all. There is always need o f some clothing, shoes, for old or young. Something extra on the table Christmas day will bring delight to all. While there has been much concern and worry the past year with farmer, business man and labor* er, the Holiday season should he ap­ proached in a different spirit. We can all forget our worries at least for that one day. However i f there are child­ ren in the family, they should not be denied everything on Christmas day. Christmas can be celebrated without a waste o f .money and this year for a very small sum, but do not. forget the children. trap in the door. Ones a weak each prisoner was permitted to walk in the corridor for a few minutes to get ex­ ercise. They could not see the lend scape, nor could they even bear the voice o f fellow prisoners in the yard Out fo r exercise. They were comple­ tely cut off from the world and had no knowledge o f what ha* happened the past eighteen months. When the men were placed in confinement there were 42 but a* time went on two became de­ mented and had to .be sent to Lima. The prisoners w ere' abusive to the guards but gradually one by one be­ came docile and fo r several months, not a word has been heard from them. When they were liberated they walk­ ed with weaken step and bowed heads, broken in Bpirit. It appears to be a brutal manner to treat prisoners but was necessary -to Inflict punish­ ment in keeping*with the awful havoc they committed in sacrificing 322 fel­ low prisoners in a burning furnace. It stands as a warning to other "bad men" in and‘out o f prison,1ethat prison rules must be obeyed. =#3 Someone asked us some time ago what the difference was between a real estate agent and a (realtor. Our answeF w^th^^h<T la tterterm ~was what might be called the social name .or real estate agent, giving the bus-„ noss an unusual name to attract the attention o f the public. Nowadays all eal estate men must have a state li­ cense to sell property. The real estate .ntorests are organized with a strong state organization. Some attorneys dislike the name o f lawyer, while oth­ ers have no choice. Now and then you will hear a stenographer refer to aer position as secretary and then we have trained executive secretaries that are competant to transact busi­ ness under business leaders with big responsibilities. Some bookkeepers are called comptrollers. Benjamin Franklin, who had earned the right to a hundred honorable titles, request­ ed the humble designation of printer on his tombstone. That was his trade and he saw no need for calling him­ self anything else. The-JFranklin Chronicle, which has 3uggested^he~nSnnc— o£_ an honored and highly respected citizen, Howt L. Cheney, for the Republican nomi­ nation in Congress to succeed Charles Brand, has some important things to relate in its last issue. Whiles. Mr. Cheney has not publically made an announcement, the Chronicle contin­ ues to ho.ld his name before the public and takes a decided stand against the method o f “ hand-picked" ’^mndidates by the political b o s s e s ^ - ^ iW Tib- bals has the following w say: [ “ Why should a small coterie o f old- line politicians hand this nomination to Congress to some petty office seek­ er? We don't think they ,will be able to do it. As we said last week Con­ gressman Brand’ s decision not to run again has left the field wide open and we arise to state that Frarklin and Warren county has a citizen eminent­ ly qaulified in every way to represent the district with real ability. The re­ sponse to our suggestion convinces us that men and women over the district are tired o f voting fo r hand-picked candidates selected by a few men. Howard , Cheney fo r Congress would put more pep into the coming primary in the Seventh District than any oth er man we know of. Now is our chance to send a Warren county man to Congress. Are we going to miss that opportunity and let the old gang in Greene and Fayette counties tell us what we must do V* According to a print-shop fable it does not pay to borrow, that is if the story related by a Dyer, Tenn., pub­ lisher, gives the correct version that is being handed around. The story is interesting: “ Once upon a time a a certain nickel-nurser sent his kid to borrow the neighbor’s paper, and the kid upset a hive o f bees and soon was covered with lumps. His father ran to help him and caught his chin on a clothes line and sprained his back and fell and broke a $25 watch. The clothes pole fell over the car and smashed the windshield, and mother running out to see what occasioned all the cxciiiment, upset a five-gallon churn o f cream into a basket o f kit­ tens, drowning all o f them. The flat- iron burned through the ironing board setting fire to the house, and the fire­ men broke all the windows and chop­ ped a hole in the roof. The baby ate a jar o f pickles and got cholera mor­ bus, and the doctor’s bill was $5. The daughter ran away with the hired man during the excitement, the dog kit the neighbor’s kid and the calves' ate the tails o ff of four night-shirts on the clothes line. The moral is do not borrow but subscribe for your home town paper, I. S. Guthrey, director o f agricul­ ture in Ohio, has been the storm cen­ ter ever since he was placed in that position by Gov. White. Guthrey is a farmer and banker, has no interest in politics, and has won the emnity of Republican as well as Democratic pol­ iticians. Charges have been filed a- gainst him at different times by po­ litical safe-traps..that in the past have used the Ohio State Fair as a dump­ ing ground for two-by-four politicians that want on the state pay roll. Not so long ago Guthrey fired a, female office employee, who he claimed only iad real employment a few weeks in the year, yet was on the pay roll fo r twelve full months. The Ohio Fair Managers’ Association, now asks Gov. White to have the woman reinstated. A Republican friend o f the writer who has had experience in the Department of Agriculture and’ With the State Fair defends Guthrey and says that he. has been trying to not only econo­ mize but to keep the fair on the prof­ it side for the state. O f course such a step is not popular With politicians zot either party and the-row continues. Gov. White should -stand behind his appointee i f our informant is correct. The Republican * national conven­ tion goes to* Chicago in June. It had been hoped that Cleveland would get he big political gathering but the $150,000 could not be raised by the rosineis mtefe amount for that city has the hotels. The convention must last five days to hold several . thousand delegates in the city. Such conventions leave more than a million, o f dollars in a city. The hotels in the Windy city can hope for prosperity this coming summer at least during contention week. A re* port out o f Clevll^nd-is |hat big bus­ iness concerns tVat usually contrib­ ute to such funds*are very indifferent this year. NOTICE!
