DRY INTERESTS BEING TRADED FOR VOTES — * YES, CARRIE, THERE IS BALM AT GILEAD A few weeks ago the Herald stated that delegates to the Republican National convention were hand-picked by Walter Brown, postmaster general, as representing President Hoover, and that a deal had been made in Columbus whereby Arthur Hamilton, Lebanon, had been chosen by Brown as the delegate from the Seventh Congressional District in exchange for an en­ dorsement by Warren County of L. T. Marshall. Hamilton, like other delegates had to stand the test as opposed to the present prohibition laws. Today where do the dry interests in the state and nation find themselves? Secretary Hyde, said to be the only tee-toatler in the president’s cabinet comes out for the referendum or a ____ ___ ________ r#.__ change and is now given credit as having written the famous Ineed of their money at this time there I day and we"had a very, pleasant hour plank adopted by Missouri Republicans on the same subject, to can he no denial.

This week President Hoover gets one foot ed, many thousands who are now on on each side of the ditch with the statement that while he does good paying jobs, many o f they in not approve it he will not oppose a wet plank in the Republican the government service, would aiso be platform to be adopted at the convention, which makes him] entitled to their money, eligible for A1 Smith’s “ brown derby.” Senator Borah and other leading dry Senators will battle for their kind of a plank. The soldier bonus payment as now is demanded by hundredB of thousands of World War Veterans, remains the big topic. If it reaches a vote in the Houso it may pass but will likely go down to defeat in the Senate. Should it pass President Hoover has prom­ ised a veto. How the- government is to pay this bonus under present finan­ cial troubles, is the big problem. The author of the bill wants more currency issued to he backed by an over supply! has nothing on the Seventh Dis- of gold in the treasury, much more I triet politicians.

The answer was yes. “J suppose if Marshall furnishes the money your office will send out a letter for him just before election’ *, and McNaught replied that they would. The conver­ sation closed and the phone was rang off. The friend and newspaperman then had a good laugh as to how the League would be handling tainted money donated by the liberal inter­ ests. The big laugh came when both roared over the fact that McNaught did not even take the trouble to ask who was talking. So a dry letter witb a wet postage stamp may be expected between now and May 10th. A1 Ca- purpote, the tendency being to force »H financial transactions through Washington and New York. Aa to chain banking he feels the time would come when common people would not have free local banking facilities as we have had in the past. Mr. Wildman is active in the Clark County Tax Payers League, The average citizen should be able to see the position the dry cause has already been placed and as Mr. Howard Wild man stated a fevsJ-dfi^S'ctg^iJTt looks like we are.going to loose prohibition.” ^'Tostmaster General Brown is openly wet and is using no method to attempuMo—deceive the public. He is --a-shrewd politician and usually camholdshis own with all com­ ers. To gain his point he came to Ohio t<rhand-pick the Hoov­ er delegates and each had to pass muster before the name was accepted. Greene county cannot consistently support L. T. Marshall for congress, as a proxy for D. C. Pemberton, liberal, utility lob­ byist, former lobbyist for Cincinnati saloonkeepers, and at the same time cast a majority vote for L. J. Taber. Mr. Marshall’s - views on prohibition changes are certainly acceptable to the lib­ eral interests or he would not have the liberal support he now has in most of the nine counties in the-Seventh District. Hedias the backing of Walter Brown, who also can use his vote in Con­ gress, if he is successful. Voters must keep in mind the wets are well organized. They are making the best o f the depression to breakdown support of the eighteenth amendment among the unemployed. Politicians and candidates want votes. When the drys were in the ascendency wet politicians became supposedly ary. Now the so-called dry politicians are climbing the wet bandwagon. Marshall has no platform, neither wet or dry planks. Brown would prefer to use him in neutral with Pem­ berton the stearing gear. The Columbus conference at which Brown applied the acid test for wet delegates and a Marshall endorsement from War­ ren county had another Greene countian as “ aid-de-camp” , United States Marshall, P. H. Creswell, who, sponsors the Pem­ berton candidate for congress. Marshall and Creswell were former political enemies in Greene county and their “ love for each other today is really pathetic” . Brown has both in toe and both jump at the crack of the whip. The followers of the dry cause certainly see that they have reached the forks o f the road in Greene county. It must be nerve-wracking to Aunt Car­ rie Flatter to see her poor whip-poor-will, Leroy, whom she,has so long held up during his infant political career, given that motherly training and protection, growing big and fat while •nursing at the public teat, that he should be lead astray by ,his old political enemy whom she had taught to hate, P. H. Cres­ well, and find her little Moses in the swamp with Walter Brown and D. Pemberton. Yes, Carrie there is balm at Gilead. It is to be regretted that the gov- i eminent had billions to loan to for­ eign countries, much of which will not |be paid back, and yet we must plead poverty to the boys that carried the burden of the world .war. Again the boys have not had quite a fair deal in the interest charges on withdrawals, The government is spending millions to care for disabled veterans in many ways, but there are now millions of hem in destitute circumstances owing to unemployment. The country has had too much interest in Europe and not enough at home. due to present economic conditions. Mr. Wildnjan is a student o f public affairs and he has gathered much in­ teresting data in » comparing prices of farm products o f today with some years ago, tax rates and bonded debts. To our line of reasoning Mr. Wild­ man has the right view and he has become convinced that the problems facing the nation are so complicated that those_who have ..the knowledge Cuyahoga county is in a terrible situation financially. Several millions of taxes have not been paid and it is no doubt fortunate that such ia the case for state examiners now report the county treasurer is more than 1450,000 short in cash. The office has been dosed for several days until a thorough checkup is made. Meantime two very important books belonging to the County Auditor that had been in use until the state closed the office, have disappeared. Gang political: con­ trol has been costly to the county, in more ways than one. But Cuyahoga county is not the only county in Ohio that has important records missing in county offices. It lookB like it may be necessary to cement the*county books in cases for ssfe keeping.

A1 Smith, Democratic nominee for president four years ago, has upset the apple-cart for the Democratic pol­ iticians. A1 will not likely be nomi­ nated but he will have strength “to make a big noise, just as he did at. the Jeffersonian banquet in Washing­ ton last week.. A1 went ' after Gov. Roosevelt with hammer and tongs and urged a cancellation of European war debts. A1 has always posed as the friend of the poor and, down trodden but in the debt cancellation program he takes up the fight o f the interna­ tional bankers and Wall Street. Can cellation means the American people must pay the debt of billions which would only reduce the purchasing power of the present dollar.

No nation can long exist when all interests must draw on their capital to pay taxes. He further says that we all have had too much credit in the past and that more credit will only make matters worse. He cited the 'plan o f the Refinancing Corporation, especially loans to far­ mers which must he guaranteed by tenant and the land-owner.

Taber is to speak in Xenia It 'begins to look now like the new Refiinanc Corporation, latest gov­ ernment corporation with hundreds of millions, behind it, is not meeting with popular favor and may go to salvage like a few other schemes to cure the depression. One railroad company | was given several million dollars and i the next day most o f the money was | paid directly by the Tailroad company to an international banking house in Wall Street. This has created a big] stir in Government circles, and has | been condemned by most banking in­ terests and businessmen in general. I TO THE VOTERS OF on Thursday, April 28 in the interest of his campaign as a can­ didate for United States Senator before the Republican primary next month should be received with interest by most all resi­ dents in the county. Mr, Taber is worthy of support not be­ cause he represents one branch of the farm organizations, but Th? money was paid over, supposedly because he has ideals, experience and ability to represent oth- t0 makeit P°88ible for the railroad, to er interests in Ohio. One of our troubles in Washington today I make improvements, rebuild rolling is that far too many members were sent to Congress because they represented on particular view or some one organization. Mr. Taber is conducting an open campaign and is being op­ posed by a strong political organization that has no use for his views on many important public matters. Morepver he is a man that cannot be tied by the politicians. . He is a supporter o f the 18th Amendment and against motives that are for selfish gain, such as political organizations try to control. His opponent is Gilbert Bettman, present attorney general in Ohio, now serving his second term. His record has been one o f legislating and assuming jurisdiction of courts in passing on interpretation of Ohio laws. He is a product of the old Cincin­ nati George B. Cox gang and openly advocates the wet cause. He has from the platform during his term of office opposed the primary believing that political bosses should select all candi­ dates and not the voters themselves. He has fought the charter government forces in his city, Cincinnati, that won the control o f the city municipal government from the Cox followers. It is time for Greene county to awake to the situation and forget the panic until after the primary, Mr. Taber will not have the support of any political organization in Greene county and must rely on the individual voter. Mr. Bettman will have the Marshall-Gowdy organization support.

As part .of the corporation funds is to be loaned to farmers for seeding, a new question has arisen. The loan made the farmer is to be secured by a lein on the crop. Suppose weather conditions are not favorable and the crop is a failure,'how is the farmer to settle with the government | and how is the government to collect? | Some unusual problems * are arising I each day that should give the average, citizen concern. Roger Babson, noted economist a few days ago said, " So far the various campaigns to give out more money to enable people to buy more goods seem to have failed.” The economic leaders in this country are now realizing more and more our big financial trouble is the millions loaned j abroad in. various ways. Herb Mengert, Columbus corres-1 pondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, never fails to take advantage of the opportunity to boost the cause o f pro­ hibition repeal. He knows politics | and politicians as few big daily cor­ respondents do and usually has the right dope on things political, In his review of the Congressional primary situation in the state, he brings out a few facts relative to the Seventh Dis­ trict. He says: “ The three-way fra. 1cas on the Republican side has the . Wets and Drys guessing . . . .Former , Senator L. T. Marshall, Greene Coun- ■ty, is favored of organisations Repub­ licans generally. As author o f the fa­ mous Marshall bill he was dry once as they make them, but he is not so vocal now.” Herb has no use for the puSsy- footers on the liquor issue, Marsh­ all's attitude at present with his cam­ paign in the hands of a former lobby­ ist for Cincinnati saloon-keepers, is like an often repeated quotation of "more joy over the one that repents than the ninety and nine, etc,” The situation in -Washington deserves your active and immediate attention. The National government is spending more money every year than the previous year, and you are one o f those who must eventually pay the b ill .......The total expenditures o f major departments, commissions* etc., in 1927, when this country was at its peak o f prosperity, was $1,964,000,000. For the year of4932 the budget calls for $3,195,100,000 or an increase o f 63%. To finance these ever increasing distributions, Congress is planning huge ad­ ditional taxes to be paid out o f an already shrunken income o f industry and indi­ viduals. Why doesn’t Congress balance the national budget by reduction o f ex­ penses through efficient operation, and the curtailment o f non-essential services and functions? ........Your congressmen are in position to know i f the continuance o f this deplor­ able condition is necessary. I earnestly feel that we need more business admin* istration in government, and less government in business* E.
