Should candidates bo required to state their, positions on public issues, moral issues such as prohibition, i f their convic­ tions are different than that of the pledge in the party plat­ form? The straddle platform adopted by the Republicans at the national convention has raised <a new issue. Evidently the makers of the platform realized a “straddle” position was to put many candidates in the hole and provided, a plank that was intended to keep the drys from forcing a public statement as to bow they stand. President Hoover early in his administration made one ref­ erence to prohibition as a “ noble experiment”. Being the head of the law enforcement branch of the government with army and navy at his command, besides many thousand state, city, county and village-officials at his command, he never has once publically called for a more strict enforcement in support of the .constitution. Instead most o f the three years the department has functioned since his inauguration, the department has been manned by those really not in sympathy with, the eighteenth amendment. Now the prohibition question is to become a live political issue, just as it was four years ago, other than both party lead­ ers are openly wet. That is the Democratic .platform calls for something the public understands. The Republican platform is wet and dry, take your choice, but the party leaders, are all known wets, trying to fool the sincere drys. Candidates for congress that during the primary campaign wanted to be listed as dry now plead for-protection under the party plank, that a candidate should not be expected, to make known publically how he stands. In other words political expediency is of more importance than standing out in front for prohibition. While a political candidate is not often required,to express his views on moral issues, we often .wonder just where a man and his con­ science meet trying to following the wet plank in the Republi­ can platform calling for protection of candidates from express­ ing their views? ' <What a fine thing it would have been' four years ago for the Democratic brethern had that party adopted the “ exped iency” clause in their platform. With the wet and religious is sues injected in the campaign there was real need of such a plank. If such “ expediency” stands it‘ can be. used for or a- gainst finy issue, even in escaping .the taking of a stand on is­ sues that might be a hinderance to the church. It would not be a matter of principle, nor a problem that would require a con­ scientious opinion, but if you could adopt the “ expediency” . clause, you could circumvent many important issues and feel at liberty to go as far as you please. With the Republicans on a “ state right basis” and the straddling plank, more than one can­ didate for office from president down to constable may be faced with a demand to know just where he stands, irrespective o f the clause in the platform absolving him from telling the vot­ ers where and how he stands. Former Governor Myers Y. Cooper ■was pnee strong for classification o f property fo r taxation. He is not “ so iot” now, using a street expression. 3h speech several days ago before the Real Estate Boards Convention, in Cincinnati, he stated th e ' new laws had pleased a favored few and dis­ appointed the many. He says it is too fa r to stretch the imagination -to give credit to classification fo r any tax re­ duction to the intangible law enact­ ment. Reduced values have had more to do with it. “ There is no use beat­ ing around the bush. The time has come when we must meet the question o f tax equalisation head on, 80 that the tax burden will be as fair to prop erty owners as to other forms of wealth,” Mr, Cooper might have gone farther, and stated that Senator Taft took good care o f his financial inter ests at' the expense o f other property in Ohio. The law should be shot full o f holes by the next legislature, „ One feature o f the law that should be changed the first week o f the leg­ islature in January 1933 and that, .is repeal the clause providing that each county in Ohio shall pay to. the State Tax Commission one per cent o f mon' ey collected for the salaries o f this joard and several hundred political appointees, such as were sent into the county several weeks ago to collect four and six cents tax from farmers that held a share of stock in some co­ operative company. PEOPLE APPRECIATE LANDSCAPE WORK .As one drives about the country, in towns and cities as well. you cannot help but notice the advancement people haVe made in recent years in lawn and garden decoration. It is a good sigh and proves that after all the" automobile has not entirely divor­ ced people from home and lawn beautification. It makes no difference, whether yoq visit the rural sections, the cities with the poor sections, all are far above what they were twenty-five years ago. ' . Beautiful towns, cities and villages really attract people They attract permanent residents, tourists, and in this way a good impression is made. Nothing attracts people to a town more than clean streets. Again cleah streets make better'health conditions. * We have risen to a new elevation for civic beauty in this age. It was not so many years ago that the lawn arounc a school house was. mowed with a scythe or probably cows or ■ sheep were used. Today these lawns are well kept. You find landscaping about the buildings. All this has a wonderful im­ pression on children, and will reflect more and more for higher standards as they go through the years.

While it is yet two months before school open* nearly every exchange we ge t has some ref­ erence to financial trouble in the pub­ lic schools in that locality. Boards are reducing salaries, dropping teach­ ers, cutting down on the number o f months, or not even promising any certain length o f school term. And yet there seems to b# no one that can predict what the future is to be. We learn that Troy schools will be cut to seven months with a ten per cent re­ duction in salary; Dayton is to cut teachers and school term; Cleveland the same; Xenia faces the same situ­ ation. When you come to schools in rural districts financial problems arc the big issue.. What the result is lx, be no one has an answer. Governor White will call the legis­ lature in special session'early in Sep -1 tember to pass the necessary laws to I reduce both state and county elective i salaries. Two con mittees have been I going over the lists to make recom­ mendations. One committee was ap­ pointed by the Governor and the other is from the Senate. Both will hold public hearings during the first week in -August.' One committe reports it has fixed reductions from ? 1-2 to 20 1-2 pet cent; the other from 5 to 18 per cent. Public officials will be asked to present their views at these hearings. The saving I b estimated at $1,709,679 on the lower percentage | basis and $2,361,476 on the other. P r i c e s C u t D e e p ON • • • Cincinnati lost one o f her pioneer business men several days ago, James M. Gamble, founder o f a famous,sohp, Following graduation . in 1854 Mr, Gamble took up law and later manu- »n building and loans and some, four factoring at the request, o f his fath-1 banks that had failed. It was impos- A well known attorney said a few days' ago while, discussing general business conditions that the legal fra­ ternity wassuffering probably as much from the depression as’ any trade o r profession. In his county he said most o f the money was tied up i er„ It was through his genius as a chemist that he devised the first float­ ing soap, Ivory. This was in 1879. .An interesting account has been made public as to how this name was se­ lected. His partner, Harley- Proctor, attended devine service and on a cer­ tain Sunday heard the minister read the following-from the Psalms: “ All Thy garments smell o f rfiyrrh, and al­ oes, and cassia, out o f the ivory pal­ aces whereby they have made Thee glad.'* The word “ ivory” at once ap­ pealed to Mr. Proctor aS a good name for the floating soap Mr. Gamble had made, and the name was adopted by the firm and is now known atound the world. sible to close estates in most cases or even close in foreclosure as there was no money for costs, and o f course the fees to attorneys were not to be had at this time. In some counties he remarked it, was bard to find money the first o f each month, to pay the of­ ficials, due to delinquent tax collec­ tions. Farmers, gardnqrs, florists, and fruit growers will be interestel in the announcement that Dr, R . C, Roark o f the United States Bureau o f Chemis­ try and Soils, has found. a compound in his investigations that will be a formidable weapon against rinsedts. The growth o f insects in this country has been a puzzle «to science and how to get a poison that will control bugs and insects and not be injurious to man and domestic animals has becr^ the big problem, Dr. Roark has com-* pounded what he 'calls “ Rotenone” which is 15 times as toxic as nicotine and 30 times as toxic as lead arsenate to certain caterpillars. A t the same time it is harmless to man or beast. Rotenone occurs in the East Indian vine, derris, and in the South Ameri­ can shrub, cube, both plants belong­ ing to' the Fabaceae or pea family. It is said that one spraying is all that is necessary in a season. Uncle Sam has several "purple leaf barberry” inspectors in this section looking up that brand o f shrubbery that is claimed to produce a certain kind o f rust on wheat, damaging the crop. We are told that very little of this bush can be found in this section in the native state. For several years this bush was regarded very orna­ mental about homes but in most, all cases it has been destroyed to con­ form With government requirements. These inspecetors have no small job on their hands for when such a plant is found around a home the argument arises between the "Miss or Mrs.” and the agents. We seriously doubt just whether this is the time fo r such in­ spection, Two men inspecting and in a few days two more digging up tiie plants means the government is not cutting down very much on costs in the interest o f the taxpayer. One o f our good friends took us to task several days ago on the.political situation basing his remarks on the preprimary contest four years ago when the Herald supported Hoover a- gainst the late Frank B. Willis, This friends is a professional man who had for many years been closely associa­ t e d with the late Senator, He relat* ' ed several incidents which he had se- t cured from him concerning Hoover, all ' o f whieh he says have come true. He contended during the primary con­ test that Hoover would bo a “ do-noth* mg’’ president if nominated and elect­ ed and that his interests were more in sympathy with England than with tho United States, He had no hesi­ tancy in saying that betrayal o f close personal and politicalfrienda of Willis fo r Hoover resulted in his death. He still is opposing Hoover and thought tho laugh was on % public and that the Herald had been fooled along with pveryono else. This friend stated that tho worst blow the Senator had Was when dry leaders turned him down for I Hoover, who whs to be under Walter^ Trouble has broken out among the Republican-state candidates-and-the national ticket over who shall be the j campaign manager in Ohio. David S. I Ingals, candidate fo£ governor, wants I his friend and primary campaign manager. Others want Ed Schorr of I Cincinnati, wettest o f the wets. While j 'Ingals was nominated on a wet plat-1 form,, his. manager, Senator Earl Johnson, Painaville, is personally dry I and while state representative and senator has supported dry measures. Walter ‘ Brown, who is President j Hoover’s political manager, soaking ] wet and sire o f the morphadite, wet for tjhe wets and dry fo r the drys, ] platform at the Republican national conventions wants to have a say also. As a result a. disagreement between j the interests has arisen. Mr. Ingals was the choice o f Brown, Hoover and | the federal office holders in the pri. mary campaign. It was Brown and | the Hoover following that nominated Ingals against Clarence J. Brown, Mr. Ingals should have his say and he i probably has good -reason after his primary experience and not want to | trust the federal crowd. Clarence J. Brown's friends in Ohio have no quar-1 rel with Mr. Ingals, but they are not saying much about what might hap-1 pen to the firm o f “ Brown and Hoov­ er.” The prohibitionists have been' hold­ ing a conclave this week in Indianap-' olis, trying to get a third party can-, didate fo r president that is “dry” . It is no easy matter to draft men o f prominence to head a third party ticket. First place it takes a barrel o f good sized gold pieces to run a political campaign and most all o f the money in this country having been loaned to foreign countries, and the moratorium having created a new brand o f Hoover prosperity, the third party followers are facing an impos­ sible task. They want Senator Borah to head the ticket but he has not pub­ lically said he would, even though he will oppose Hoover, the man he did more fo r in campaigning four years ago than any one person. Bishop Can­ non, has had a finger in the plan mak­ ing at the dry meet representing the dry Democrats, Both party platforms were regarded “ soaking wet" and that dry voters could not advocate support o f the constitution and vote for cither o f the major party nominees, The *,J line politicians from both major oid parties will find a way to shut out any third party nominee, Under Ohio election laws it will be almost im­ possible to get on the ballot. The drys were asleep at the Switch when the wet city politicians had the law pas­ sed by dry members o f the legisla­ ture. YOU FAY LESS m W a r t - - j .
