The fact that Uncle Sam is reaching deep into the pocket of the wealthy for taxes probably has had more to do with thee Rockefeller intere ^ reversing their position. It has been hinted in many quart* is more than once that “balancing the budget” with higher taxes would drive people away from prohibition that the govern­ ment can collect the liquor tax. i President Hoover ha3.not yet said where he stands on tin- wet-dry platform adopted by the Republicans at Chica: ** He is e x p e c te d to have something to say, probably repeat hi. <* ,ee “noble experiment” speech. Last week an unsuspecting story came out of Washington, the purpose of which few people have any idea. It was a story that the President was of an opinion that prohibition was a problem for congress to settle, and not for a president. The story was put out to get the re­ action of the public. If there was no protest to speak of, and congress was not in session, political leaders could find a. way to get around what is now a perplexing question. From a political standopint repeal or. resubmission, fo r it means repeal, those, favoring submission have the best grounds to believe repeal would carry, the politicians have the popu­ lar side of it. The result a few days ago in Texas, supposedly bone-dry, votes more than two to one for submission. A Re­ publican governor, and legislature in Indiana are making good their promise to repeal the state prohibition enforcement act, it.having this week passed.one, house. The state Republican organization is-openly for repeal. The status the drys find themselves in brings up the ques­ tion: “Is ,the government, the estate, or any other political sub­ division warranted in times like these spending millions of dollars to politicians for supposed prohibition enforcement?” The friends of prohibition have been tricked out of first place bjr the politicians who have been playing double between cer­ tain dry leaders and the heads of the wet organizations. Tuesday morning found depression prices on gasoline, much to the pleas­ ure and satisfaction o f motorists. But the depression probably ‘had little to do with lowering prices. It is said an independant gasoline dealer in Dayton has been covering this section and retailing gasoline at two cents under the prices other dealers and regular stations. The new prices ar6 effective only in Montgomery and Greene coun- tyes. This is quite a drop in price and will probably prevail until the cut- price independant "hollers enough.” Last year when the gasoline war was on in Columlu ' and Dayton the price was increa ... ..

SENATOR BORAH SPRINGS A SURPRISE ■ Senator Borah, who wields more influence in this nation than any other senator, gave the country a complete surprise a few days ago when he announced his approval of a. world conference on war debt payment and cancellation, the latter as a move to aid European countries to .a stronger financial position. What prompted the Borah statement no one seems To know and'itTs said he has few cbnfidentsTmongTenators In view of the fact that international bankers have been urg­ ing cancellation of debts to Uncle Sam so the W a ll Street crowd jcould collect their-private European loans, Borah has given everyone a surprise. It is known that Borah and most of President Hoover’s friends are fa r from friendly and their ideas of most public questions are fa r apart. There is a lurk­ ing suspicion that the Idaho Senator has come forward with the cancellation plan to upset what the administration'has had in mind for the near future— after the November election. The almost total silence in Washington over the Borah statO ment indicates that high officials have been taken by surprise also. But the nation is not yet converted to debt cancellation for European countries, even though they scrap every battle­ sh ip . WHEN THE BUBBLE BURSTS—LOOK OUT W e are living in a peculiar age-—depression or what you desire to call it. Most every thing in the commercial world is being valued on a factitious basis. Each one is trying to take advantage of the other. Everything is being done to create something of value from the surface standpoint whether it is there or not. Regardless of our losses from 1929 to date we are still faced with more hot-air and balloon, tactics to fool the public. Making the. people believe we have prosperous times and having them are something else. This week the United States Steel Corporation, the greatest in the world, declared the preferred stock dividends in the face of its own state­ ment the company lost more than $20,000,000 the first six months of the present year. The dividends were paid out of surplus earned long ago. The common stock has not,,paid any dividend for some.time. This is certainly poor business prac­ tice, It is one no small company could follow and have finan­ cial standing in a worthwhile bank. The result is that the company has weakened its financial standing and only deprec iated the dollar value of the common stock. It is only a case of pumping more air into the balloon. NOW IS THE TIME TO GET THE FLY This is the time of the year when an old-fashioned fly swatter should be kept on hand for the purpose of exterminate ing the enemy of man, that well known pest, the fly. Doors and windows should be closely screened, with killing sprays kept constantly on hand to wage relentless war on the com­ mon house fly. As the heat increases his numbers grow and the danger increases, a real menace to human beings—-more than a menance. Swat the fly ! The fly is a spreader of typhoid, tuberculosis, cholera, complaint and other forms of intestinal diseases. He was born in filth, lives in filth and feeds on filth and filth is ever the enemy of good health. The State Department of Health of Pennsylvania agrees that he kills thousands of people every year. A glance at the fly through a powerful microscope shows that his feet arc hairy arid especially adapted to the carrying of disease germs. Little pads, too small to be discerned by the , naked eye covered with a sticky substance, are the finest gerrii carrieres is Would be possible to make. A body and a head covered closely with a fine hair add to its possibilities as a pur­ veyor of disease. It is impossible for the fly to alight on any substance containing germ life, such as decaying garbage, of­ fal, or dead animals, and not carry to the next lighting place a part of the substance which became attached to the feet and body. > Thtf fly is a terrible feeder. He gorges himself constantly but never seems to satisfy his appetite. A t a single meal he Will eat a quantity of what to him is food, equal to half his own Weight. The Connecticut Experiment Station captured such a fly at the end of his meal in a swill barrel, and found that he earned more than six million bacteria. And his men ace and danger to health will alight upon your food, your baby s face, his bottle or his lips, with all the deadly germs, if permitted, thereby creating constant danger nf ty on the whole was not. In view of present conditions, it looks like city and town property should get at least a fifteen per cent cut this time to even up the score. One thing is gure, we are not hearing complaints against the reductions proposed by Mr. Cur. lett. o infection. N'ow is the time to light the fly, and keep on fighting up until the time when autum's frost will stop his activity. mm RKVjEat.se P hone charg es CALL owe* HiREBNE COUNTY FERTILIZER Tel. 810 , Xenia, 0 . Texas voters took a vote Saturday in connection with the state primary for a test on the prohibition question, as to re-Mbmission or not. Those in favor of resubmission won more than two to one over those opposed. This may open the eyes of drys over the nation as that state was supposed to be bone-dry. It has always been point ed out that the “ solid-south’ could not be changed on prohibition. While the Democratic national platform calls for repeal the Texas vote would indicate that the Republican national platform of “ dry-wet” would not be tempting to .the Southerners. Republican pol­ iticians have bden busy explaining to radical wets that once submitted, the prohibition cause was lost. The Texas vote might hack up the claims of the politicians. We get the report that Ray Hen­ nessey, Bellefontaine, who ran in the congressional primary as a “ wet” and closely associated with L. T. Marshall, who was saying nothing on tho prohi­ bition question but connected with the former liquor lobbyist, D. Pember­ ton, is much concerned over the prob­ able results in this district this fall. Ray says he expects Marshall to land him a good job i f he is elected and we arise to a point of order and suggest that he be named prohibition commis­ sioner. 1 . Some time ago we mentioned the fine prospects for a record wheat crop on the Silas Bell farm on the Spring- field and Clifton pike. - Several days ago we stopped at the farm and in­ quired of Mr. Bell as to the result af­ ter threshing. He says, the croj. gave a yield1o f 31 bushels -per acre which tested 63 pounds after cleaning over the scales at the I. O. O. F. farm Mr. Belh sold his 1931 crop o f 2,000 just a short time previous to thresh' ing this year's crop. He seeded with ■•Red Wonder” , a bearded wheat that is said to be very hardy for this sec­ tion o f the country. ' Mr. Bell also in- vited us to look over 40 head o f white- faced Herefords that would top the scales at better than 600 pounds. He started last November with 70 head of calves that averaged 315 pounds and just a few weeks ago sorted out thirty “ tailenders” that would not class with the forty on hand and^they averaged around 600. The cattle are still on dry feed and are a fine lot. He expects to send a car load to the Ohio State Fair. 1 There is much discussion in busi­ ness quarters, over the eighty million dollar government loan to the Dawes bank in Chicago, and the little chase- up the depositors in that city had sev­ eral weeks ago. Charley came home in a rush from his Lbndon job in Eng land to take a job on the Reconstruc­ tion Board. Suddenly he resigned that position. The Dawes bank has been one o f the leading financial institu­ tions in the middle west for years but thirty-five cent wheat and three am one-half cent hogs will not help Some 10,000 western banks that cleared through the Chicago institution. The stock of the bank was listed on the Chicago Board at 70 when the break came and is now quoted at 7 1-2. The government loan to the Dawes bank makes interesting reading to the people in South Charleston, Spring field, Xenia, Washington C. H., Ce darville, as well as other places where government money wasjiot available Banks in these places could not have received one cent to help keep them open for they were not in the “mil lionaire” class. Then again the dole is not for the little banks as .the big city boys with the political pull are the only ones that official Washington can see or hear. You hear much of government loans to building and loan associations but bo building and loan can get a dollar from tho government to give aid or relief to a depositor. I f the loan has borrowed money from tho Federal Re serve or a Now York Wall Street bnnk, a loan with Uncle Sam can be arranged. There is plenty of prooj' for that. A few Dayton loans and the big Columbian loan in Columbus were able to get government money to the extent of what was owed banks. Tiie loan associations cannot get a dollar for the depositors, that would be a “ dole”. A friend in Columbus, who has been in constant touch with state politics tells us that state candidates and not a few o f the congressional candidates who are up for re-election, are more than disturbed over prospects this ’all. There was some feeling among state candidates and the federal dic­ tator, Walter Brown, over manage­ ment of the fall campaign. The pro­ hibition question is proving an ob­ stacle to most congressional candi­ dates. They do not know which side of the platform to get on. State can­ didates now have a feeling that the national committee is to handle the campaign and let state and county of­ fices take care of themselves. They too are finding out that., it may be best to have each handle his own cam­ paign for the load that some one must pull for the head o f the national tick­ et is going to he burdensome and may be a repetition of what happened in 1912 when Taft landed the..electoral vote in only tli>*e states. It was as plain as a nose on a man’s face dur­ ing the primary last May that state and.county candidates would fare best in being divorced from . the national ticket. Probably some: o f 'these can­ didates might realize the position of hundreds of thousands of citizens if they owned stock in some company that had been all but put out o f busi­ ness by the Hoover tariff and the mor­ atorium; or better still be the owner of 100 shares of, stock and be. asked to sign away your rights in fifty shares to reorganize the company; or like some others stand a fifty or even a hundred per cent assessment. Not all candidates for public office know just at present what is going on in ,the business world. A little less en­ thusiasm for the national ticket last spring might have brought about a different situation today. Reducing farm and town real estate for taxation is evidently dominant in this section of Ohio, and we see where the Indiana legislature is Wrestling with the problem also, James J. Cur- lett, county auditor is considering the —There- has notr been a liquor raid in the county for so long a time that the average citizen has about made up his mind there is no longer any use for a sheriff. Breaking the record for raids was like Babe Ruth hitting hom ere, only our Greene county sheriff always took a brass band along and came back with an unusual news- story. Now that prohibition is, no longer a moral question, but a polit­ ical, and the Republican platform be­ ing “ wet-dry” , it leaves a sheriff in a rather delicate position. I f he raids he may be going against the party platform, for the politicians are tell ing us we are soon to have good beer, tnd both party candidates for gover­ nor are for repeal. Consequently we have become “ new-fashioned” and let iquor raids drop out. From another angle our once dry sheriff to be in full standing by his party platform must not disturb the wet vote, which ajl signs indicate is on the ascendency, and no candidate wants to go counter ,vith the voters.

Now it turns out that this was a clever trick on the part o f administration politicians to check the bonus demand, because the government had loaned most all o f our money to Europe. When we stop to think that Uncle Sam must find a way to get 300 million dollars extra this yqar to pay interest on the seven billion for '‘depression aid”, there will be no chance for paying the bonus for some years to come. —i—r-i— ......

One reason is that the railroads have so curtailed their freight schedules, shippers have had i toVestort to trucks. Today you never ’ know when you will get shipment by | freight, especially for short hauls, or I broken car lots. While the railroads have been meeting the same situation other business faced as a result of the “ repression” , they certainly have not encouraged the small shipper to use rail freight. The opportunity for more business is here today for the rail­ roads, if they let it pass how it 'may be even more costly later when the days of prosperous business come a- round. While most all farm products have dropped one half in sale price, the admission of the Greene County Fair has been clipped fifty per cent and is to be 25c, the same as the coming State -Fair, By this reduction the lo­ cal fair should have about the average attendance. -=]L LUXURY that Women Love a % t // // // » There’s o world o f compliment in the way women invariably choose The Sinton-St.Nirh- d a s in Cincinnati.

JN~PAIRS- SHP£tf$ 4.40-'21 f A Xenia business man stated to the writer some time ago that two and hree-quarter per cent beer would not satisfy those who wish to quench their thirst with the amber .fluid. Ho ex­ plained the situation like this. In the thirteen years many of the old-time beer fans have .died and what few are left havp become accustomed to “ home-brew” . The latter has an al­ coholic content of ten or twelve per­ cent and no two" and three-quarter per cent beer would satisfy those who now know home-brew. He says the younger generation that has tasted home-brew and never knew what the weaker beer was like would not want it. From the economical standpoint, he claims if beer comes back there would be a very high government tax, making it costly. With home brew it can be made now from prepared malt, government taxed, for one cent a pint bottle. The arguments you can get nowadays on the return of beor are about as numerous as you could ex­ pect to find them, There is going to bfe a queer politi­ cal mixup as a result of the assault to be made by the National Economy League on the manner in which the government has been handing out pensions to World War veterans. It is claimed by the leaders, “ Archie” Roosevelt, this week joined by John J. Pershing, that penseions have been passed out to veterans who have be­ come ill or were injured, since being mustered out following the armistice.
