Nothing sets a town off more than well-lighted windows. As for the stores the best insurance against burglary is leaving a light burn at night. If residents wq'uld leave a small light on the porch bum it would give the street more light and tend to make it harder for the prowler to get about without being seem « We are told you can burn a ten watt electric light for about two cents a night. While such a light is small it would make a big difference about your property at night. An arrangement might be made whereby residents in everyother house might burn a small light one week and the others take their turn the next. Merchants could use the same plan and gives their places more protection at night* - Economic conditions will-no doubt have much to do-with creating more burglarizing not only of business property but in homes. The loss o f $10 worth of merchandise Would more than pay for the cost of the light for many months. We believe this matter should have the attention of the business people and all citizens. Why wait until thq town becomes the regular stop- qing place for thieves? ’ ( the above 218,000 tons o f wheat have been turned over to farmers in the west to feed live stock. Only 28,718,- 177 bushels of the 40 million bushels have been used by the Red Cross thus far. Another bill Is now before Con­ gress to authorize the farm board to. turn over 50 million more bushels for this winter. To this the Farm Board | politicians object They see their jobs passing out of the picture, also their handsome salaries. The sooner .the government gives all the wheat now •owned by this board to the Red Cross the better it will be for the wheat far-1 mer. As long as the Farm Board is in possession of this wheat SO long will the wheat speculators continue to sell wheat “ short” and keep the price -down where_the farmer .will g e t little or nothing for his wheat.

Some weeks ago the Herald predicted there would be a rush to get aboard the "wet band-wagon." OUr statement was made from observations in connection with the plans of leading politicians. What is the result today? There-is a general rush on the Republican side to be labeled "wet” . The professional dry politician does not1have to have much time to make up his mind which way the. wind is blowing. With great captains of industry, bhnkers, lawyers, senators, congressmen, and other citizens qfcming out in favor of the wets; it looks like victory day. The drys have been crowded into a tight place and no longer are on the .aggressive side. It is certain the Republican national platform will be wet regardless of how the President stands personally. The politicians are out to win and they ad­ mit there is no chance to win on the djry side. The whole situation takes us back to the part Walter Brown played in lining up the delegates to the convention, the large majority of whom are pledged wet. The candidates for congress picked by the politicians are also pledged wet and we find some amusement from the attitude certain dry leaders took in the Seventh District congressional contest. Those, who pass­ ed marked “ satisfactory” ballots, are beginning to find out.now the "satisfactory” candidate is but a tool of the wet leaders. There is no longer any speculation as to •how President Hoover is to stand. Stories of denial of how he stands in the daily press are put out purposely as'^feelers” . Those op the inside o f the plot to capture the Republican, nomination for gov­ ernor, know that the President was scheduled to make known his views for a change and that Myers Y, Cooper was to follow with a similar statement. The plan had to be changed for the reason the managers feared the wets would riot, believe what Copper would say. Then came Ingalls into the race on an open wet platform. The friends of the eighteenth amendment in the Seventh Congressional District can yet do something for their cause. If .the Republican nominee is as "dry” as his supporters claimed during the primary he should be compelled to make a public statement long before the November election. I f he is to vote in congress for modification as his “ wet” supporters say he is pledged, he should “ come clean” . There has been.no time in the cause of prohibition’ when a candidate should be openly , pledged as now? The public has a right to know “just how he is to vote on this important question. Nothing but a public statement over his signature should suffice. His wet supporters say he is pledged to their cause but in the light of developments this week how do the drys know where he stands? When it comes to publicity we ran across a stunt in a .Cincinnati news-, paper several days ago that sets new mark. A musician that cah make ;ood even on a danceorchestra has the credit etc being some musician. But to be introduced is college students and graduates from such schools Bucknell University, Washington and Lee and Dartmouth, the importance )f a college education is recognized. An orchestra on the Flotilla on the Ohio River at Cincinnati provides the vehicle for three Greene county boys setting into the Rahl Rahl society column of the press agent. Names of Grlass, Wright and Barber have a local connection but the press agent forgot 40 mention their football records the big university teams. motor vehicle license funds shall be used exclusively for road purposes, and shall not he diverted to any other use. An executive o f one of Springfield’s largest financial institutions disap peared from the city Monday noon and was missing until Tuesday, when his body was found in a Columbus ho­ tel. He had shot himself through the heart. He had business connections with a bucket-shop in ' that city and carried an account under an assumed name, It is said he had up many thousand dollars of bonds and stocks that went into thin air when the head of the bucket-shop committed suicide several-weeks ago. So-fam sknown the institution head had not involved his company but lost his personal for­ tune and became disppndent. The op­ eration o f a bucket-shop is illegal in Ohio yet many o f them flourish and are the'means of wrecking hundreds of innocent people because trusted -employees of financial institutions try ;he gambling route( to get rich quick, Appearantly no one makes any effort to enforce the law. againBt bucket- shops that provide the easy way for Wall Street; gambling.

The idea of more tax means more jobs and the Taft idea is more salaries and a big. ger and better political machine. The Taft that backed this bill, taxing ev­ erything and everybody, but his big utility companies, which he,' repre sents as an attorney on big retainer fees, has been head o f the old George B. Cox gang of politicians in Cincib nati. State farm -leaders that sold you classification o f course were e on the pay roll of the protected interests, rhe best that can be said.of the law thus far is that is has put several chousand new employees on the pay roll at the expense of the taxpayers, ind that helps the political organize :ions to function, for the appointees must contribute to the political par­ ties. The depression has as yet not reached the inner political circles. “HERALDWANTANDSALEADSPAY” About, the biggest crop that has been found in Ohio of recent years, is known as delinquent taxpayers. The amount of delinquent taxes at the and o f 1931 in Ohio is placed at 92 million i>y the Ohio State .Tax Com­ mission. The amount in 1928 was 45 million. The following year it had grown to 52 million and by 1930 had reached 62 million. The crop in 1931 set a new record with a gain o f more than 30 million dollars or a total of 92 million dollars. Many taxing dis tricts are defaulting on their bonds and coupon interest. It is a sad pic­ ture and a mark of shame to the n* tioh that We have millions for more political jobs and not enough to pay honest debts. -a. • - The Rev. E. M. Nesbitt, pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church, Columbus, in a sermon Sunday even' ing made some statements as report­ ed in a Columbus paper, that will be news to many and more or less start­ ling to others. The Rev. was a dele­ gate to the General Assembly of his denomination at Beaver, Pa. and hi discussing the union of rite United Presbyterian and the Presbyterian Churches, says it is bound to come, “ From our point of view,” he said, “ we have gone so far with the union idea that we cannot successfully back away. Our discussion of union the last six years has bred uncertair ty in the minds of our people. This -certainty has been a fatal blow to the United Presbyterian Chorch. We have stag, gared under it. We have lost grounds because of it. Our membership has decreased, Our giving has waned. We have already lost so much that it is a question whether, by ourselves, we cart recover from the blow.” The United General Assembly voted, to keep its Committee on Union for an­ other year.” There was a. time when the wold “ billion" was osed only in studying higher mathematics or in connection with some puzzle. The World War gave it new use for the first time, in connection not with money directly, but to what extent debts could be ex­ tended to.

A f­ ter viewing her garden we discussed the'first lesson of our record book. The club will meet again next'week. R. O. Wead, cashier o f the Xenia National Bank had quite a left-hand ed compliment paid him some days ago that has caused a bit of comment in Xenia. Back a few years ago dur­ ing the time Mri Wead served as County Auditor, he accepted an invi­ tation and delivered a stirring Me­ morial Day address at Woodland Cem­ etery. The address at the time won the>speaker many compliments and much o f it was published. Last Dec- ration Day special exercises were ield in Bellefontaine and a Federal \ppointee was designated as the speaker. Of .course Logan county people had never heard the speech and .he speaker o f the day made a hit, ac- :ording to reports, As a result there .ia* heen muck jesting ip Xenia over .he event. There was no copyright on :he speech and so far as we hear Mr, flfead has asked no royalty. Anyone else wanting a good Memorial address 'or use out o f Greene county might »ke advantage o f Mr. Wood’s gener­ osity. It seems to have become public property., When is a “ pork barrel” not a “ pork jarrell” The term “pork barrel’’ is used, only in congress when it coines ;o legislation providing something in ;he way of an improvement for the me of congressmen to aid him in re­ jection. Juit at present there is an tnusual controversy going on over the Gamer bill providing a few' billion iollars o f federal funds in the name o f .‘elief or public aid. Some months ago President Hoover miked for several hundred million dollars for public buildings. The President and his sup­ rartera in Congress are opposed to the Gamer bill. Gamer’s Democratic Mends are opposing the President’s -elief measures. Meantime congress adds more taxes on everybody to pay the bills and balance the budget The Gamer bill provide* new post office buildings in hundreds of towns, one of which is Yellow Springs, the home of Senator Fess. The House has passed the Garner bill hut the Senate will kill it in favor o f the President’s bill. This will put Senator Fess in a tight place. He must o f course support the President’s bill and in doing so will vote against the Garner bill that gives a post office building to his home town. It now is becoming fashionable for civic organisations to decline the gift of the proposed buildings in the name of economy. Many towns and a number o f small cities have declined, which is something new. Either bill will require more tax money from some source. No man ever become prosperous by piling up debt year a f­ ter year. Neither has any nation. L f nrosperity is sought that way it may be something a long way off.
