FR IDAY , AUGUST 26, 1632. ^__________ CANADA AND ENGLAND AGAINST U. S. The famous Ottawa Conference has closed and with it this country onco again sees new barriers set up against our nianu- facturod goods as well as farm products. The opportunity tor American labor is lessoned when we loose* a market fo r more than two hundred million dollars worth of our goods. By this conference England and Canada make trade agree­ ments for exchange o f certain goods to their mutual advantage and in addition certain English colonies w ill profit at our ex­ pense. W e will loose England our best customer for our wheat, Canada will take coal and steel from England. American cot­ ton, wool, meats and many manufactured lines will be shelved to the detriment of this country. Such reports are not encourag­ ing at this time and American industry faces a new problem. This country was not represented at the conference" nor was she invited to participate. Worse and more of it official Washington sit idly by and did not even ask to be included in the trade agreement. American industry seems to be the goat in world trade affairs today. Our present tariff law resulted in some 34 countries placing higher tariffs at their ports which, of course shuts out our goods. Some day Washington may awake to the seriousness of our trade relations with foreign countries. BIG HOLE SHOT INTO NEW TAX,.LAW Complications continue under the more or less notorious classification tax law, that keeps citizens paying taxes at four' different intervals during the year. The section o f the law per­ taining to distribution o f intangible taxes was declared uncon­ stitutional Monday by Judge Shook in Common Pleas Court in Cincinnati, the-home of the author o f the bill, Robert Taft. The suit was brought by the prosecutor of that county seeking an injunction against county officials sending nearly a million dol­ lars so collected there to the state for redistribution to other counties. Only, fifteen of the eighty-eight counties in Ohio col­ lected their quota. . Judge Shook in-his decision pointed out that local taxes can not be collected in one county to b,e used for local purposes in another county, this being forbidden by thfe constitution. He says that certain sections are arbitrary, unreasonable and un­ just in their application.; that citizens of several subdivisions o f Hamilton and the state are deprived property rights guar­ anteed by the constitution; and that the law is not uniform in . operation throughout the- state. The result is that several million dollars collected in Ohio -are now tied up until the higher courts pass on the case. In ad­ dition another collection o f the intangible tax is due this com­ ing month and no doubt thousands of citizens will refuse to pay the-tax or do so under protest., „ , The classification system grants unfair rates to certain citi 'zens and penalizes others. Holders of great wealth have pre­ ferred rights as to classified rates which real estate does not en­ joy. The law has made possible the building of a great politi­ cal maeMne-wit-h-several" hundred-appointees on the-state pay roll. Due to the fact that certain returns are secret and not open to public inspection, special favors can be granted cer ain interests. „ EACH VOTER CAN WRITE OWN PLATFORM Of all the issues that ever confronted the voters in a nation­ al election, the prohibition issue is probably the most muddled. By the same reckoning o f 1928 as compared with 1932, the drys are a divided lqt, part o f them directly opppsite to where, they stood four years ago. The wets*are now listed as “ wet’' or just a bit “ wetter." The Republican platform was termed a “ straddle” on this issue following the convention. Four years ago the Democrats as a party stood dry on the platform basis but A l Smith wrote his own platform and went before the voters as “ wet” . This year President Hoover writes his own platform and goes be­ yond what his party adopted at Chicago. Between Hoover and Roosevelt the drys have divided and list the Republican nomi­ nee as politically wet and the Democratic nominee a bit wetter, owing to his stand for repeal as provided in the Democratic platform, , Rev. Daniel A . Poling and part of the Anti Saloon League give preference to Hoover regardless of his stand fo r modifica­ tion-and support for return o f beer. Clarence True Wilson and the Methodist Board o f Ternpei’anpe and Morals, says it is very disappointing to the drys o f four years ago that the president now finds it necessary to modify the prohibition laws. The. As­ sociation Against Prohibition is busy circulating a letter that M r Hoover wrote while food administrator, showing that he approved beer and that five*per cent beer was not intoxicating, this bn’ng under the Wpodrow Wilson administration. - Prohibition then as now and fo r the past several years has bden nothing more than a political football with the politicians and it is not surprising that public sentiment has changed, more from disgust than fo r a real desire to return to old conditions. In the wet Eastern states Republican leaders are making pled­ ges that one of the first acts when congress.meets again in De­ cember w ill be to modify the prohibition law. This o f course is to attract the wet party vote that may go to Roosevelt, who is open for repeal. The various dry organizations all are deter­ mined to defeat all wet candidates fo r congress and the senate. In Ohio most of the nominees on both tickets for congress are openly wet or stand for resubmission. Both candidates for the Senate are wet so the drys have no choice. From the mixup it appears that leaders on each side of the political fense are only interested in votes, not prohibition. The’ rankest dry o f four years ago may be openly fo r resubmission today, from the Re­ publican viewpoint while the dryest dry even from the South accepts the repeal riatform this year. It is going to be interesting to watch developments in the coming campaign. Four years ago the pulpits thundered the dry cause and marked ballots were passed at chm*ches. This year conditions are either reversed or so mixed it is going to be hard to tell whore the dry line will start and the wet line end. Each voter can do as Hoover has d6ne and as Smith did four years ago, write his own platform. To the average dry voter that has no political aspirations, the situation is ludicrous. PARTITION SALE.

MILLER dt FINNEY, - Attorneys, ■tom IFYOU NEEDPRINTINGDROPIN In many sections there is specula­ tion as to how long John J. Raskob will remain with the Democratic party now that his leadership has been nip­ ped since the recent Democratic con­ vention. Previous to the nomination of A l Smith in 1928 few people ever heard o f Kaskob, who had been prom­ inent in the financial world and one of the advisors o f the Republican party in connection with the multi million­ aire Duponts of Delaware. R&skob was an intimate friend o f A l Smith and was strongly opposed to prohibi­ tion and succeeded in pledging the Democratic party to the repeal plat­ form. Now that the Republicans are leaning to repeal and Raskob is out of the leadership o f the Democratic par­ ty it is predicted that by 1936 Raskob will be back in the Republican fold, on condition the party stays pledged in opposition to prohibition.

The new kind'of credit fo r building and loan association’s is very mislead­ ing to the public. I f a building and loan borrows $60,000 from the govern­ ment under this plan it must put up first class mortgages as security, The nterest from all of these mortgage notes advanced as security goes to the government as well as association dues,or other income. When the loan enters-into this kind o f a deal it will weaken its financial position to the detriment of patrons that have depos­ its. With the first class security gone the loan would not have revenue to pay the depositor his interest or the stockholder his .dividend. For this reason do not be misled by much of the propaganda about government loans being of direct aid to individ­ uals, We seem to be living in a time for adept deception, or as some would term deception—political expediency. The increase in prices on farm pro­ duce are encouraging as far as‘’they go. How they can' continue to rise in the face of present conditions no one knows? The consumer’s purchasing power must be restored before higher prices can be paid. This means labor must be put back to work and labor has no opportunity until factories have orders. Where’ the market for manufactured goods is the manufac­ turer does not know. The world mar­ kets are closed to American made goods and foreign countries have no credit. The circle cannot be "complet­ ed until someone finds a market. The increase in prices of farm pro­ duce was 10 per cent during-the past month, but it is still 28 per cent lower than at this time last year. On a percentage basis the increase looks good but the price is still so low on nearly all products the volume does not meet existing conditions. For in­ stance eggs have take quite a turn to- words higher prices. Sixteen or' eigh­ teen cents a dozen beats eight cents. With the shortage of poultry this year and much of the young being sent to market, eggs should command i good price this winter. But then wc face the low’ purchasing power o f the consumer. Wc are told there is some hog chol- ?rn in Ohio and some not far from <his community already. There is oping this epidemic can be held in .’heck. Thousands of hogs have not jeen immaned fo r this disease owing .o the tightness of money last spring tnd early summer. Hog production is 'he one best revenue producer for the 'armer and hogs should be immuned as insurance. We hear reports of a number of farmers that did not fer­ tilize their wheat last fall and yet the crop was above average this year. It may not be a safe plan year in and year out to drop fertilizer but from the standpoint of an observer and not an advisor we would sacrifice on fer­ tilizer to have the pig crop immuned. The 200 acre farm belonging to Geo. Glcmans, near South Charleston, sold last v >ek at forced sale at $69.50 an acre, nine dollars and fifty cents over the appraised value and this is consid­ ered a good omen and that farm val­ ues are on the upgrade. The Clem' ans farm is well improved having a modern home and a fne bam with other improvements. Ault Wilson was the purshaser. Another farm belong­ ing to Mary S. Clemans having 217 acres appraised at $62.60 did not sell owing to lack of bidders. An insur ancc company bid in the farm. You hear much idle talk today about moratoriums for this and that. Even one of tiic fraternal organizations is considering a moratorium on lodge dues to those unable to pay. No bet­ ter encouragement for those who are able to pay to follow suit. It has been proposed to have moratoriums for all farm and home loans. A holiday for the payment of note or interest. With such a plan where would the mora­ torium lead the nation? I f a mora­ torium on. farms and homes why not one on manufacturing plants. This would directly interest holders of most all preferred stocks. There would be no dividend payments. Banks anc building, and loan associations coult not pay interest to depositors and no return payments for withdrawals for everything would stop. One of the most damaging things to business and disturbing factors to our economic situation was the granting of a mora­ torium % Germany last year. The proposal was in the direct interest of our international bankers and it was not long until other foreign countries did not ask the U. S. for' a moratorium but declined to pay .their interest and debt whether it was suitable to this country or not, The words “ political expediency” have come into-use o f late much like the word “ moratorium’’. Political phrases always come to the surface preceeding a campaign. Political plat­ forms are something to talk about in convention and after adoption for­ gotten. Roosevelt this year injects the “forgotten man” , which may at­ tract much attention. In fact the pol­ iticians have both partied tied hand and foot and neither have any. inten­ tion of worrying about the "forgotten man” , which means the average citi­ zen, after election. Some days ago we heard a prominent citizen ask a politician what political leaders meant by “ political' expediency.” The poli­ tician said of course Webster could. define it but as applied to day it was passing a lie” that would not harm or disturb one’s conscience.” The cit­ izen be$ng more curious wanted an example and here we quote: “We Re­ publicans are for prohibition repeal, but we dare not come out for it at this time until more of the public is educated to the need of it. The country must drop prohibition to get the rev­ enue from liquor tax.” A nice little school mixup has -arisen between-Pitchin and Selma-and two Cedarviile educators figure in­ directly in it, Some weeks ago Selma employed Coach Marvin Borst, for­ merly o f Cedarviile College faculty. A few weeks, later Pitchin offers voach Borst an increase in Balary and 3orat resigns the Selma job to. go to Pitchin, Paul Edwards, who had been head o f the. Pltohin schools for several ears was not re-employed and-the ielma board then elected him. PatronB a the Pitchin schools began to rebel tver the loss o f Edwards and it soon iprea,‘_ to the high school pupils who ranted to follow Edwards. Spring- teld township has about 180 students hat ara sent to. high schools ajt Oak irovc, Plattsburgh, New Moorefield ind Pitchin at $60 per student. Thirty .tudento who attended Pitchin now re- ’u?e to go there and will go to Selma. This will make quite an addition to .he Selma school. The contention is between the patrons and the Pitchin joard o f education more than Selma, or Messrs. Borst or Edwards. O. .A. Dobbins of Feriidale Farms -eports he is well pleased with the Hampshire sow sale last Friday when about 40 head averaged slightly over ?30 a head. This average is somewhat below the previous sow sale but the narket price of hogs is lower, Sales went to adjoining states which indi­ cates the reputation of Ferndale is broadening each year. I t was only a few years ago that the average was $60 and $60 a head. The market price in those days was ten cents or better. JUDGMENT RENDERED In the case of Dora L« Ross against Morgan V.

Wo still are extending credit in scores of ways under various titles through billion dollar government aid societies.

Tho public must not forget that much o f this aid or relief program is political bunk. For instance every dollar the government turns over to A federal grand jury has brought indictments against leaders in certain fraternal organizations, ono a United Stntes Senator from Pennsylvania for operating what is charged as a lot­ tery in the sale o f certain merchan­ dise by the sale of tickets and a draw­ ing as to the lucky winners. The pro­ ceeds of such sales go to charity and relief purposes, most o f it to wards under the. care of fraternal organiza­ tions, While such a scheme may have the ear marks of a lottery, which is a violation o f the federal law, no one says as fa r as we know, that individ­ uals representing the fraternal orders have financially profited. Every ward aided by these orders is just one less the public would be compelled to sup­ port by taxation if it were not for the orders, A dime a chance is a small amount to the individual and carries the element o f chance to win which is more o f a sporting feature that many people indulge in. We do not know and there is no charge that individuals that purchase the tickets are harmed so we see little room for complaint, In contrast we might refer to hun­ dreds and thousands o f people that draw millions each year from their bank and savings accounts to gamble in Wall street, yet Uncle Sam says not a word about this element of chance. Buying stocks or margins is o f course not a Tottery but you can not win without some other person loosing, and that constitutes gamb­ ling. Money drawn from banks to in­ vest in Wall street Is usually gone to the community that produced it and as a rosuit there is just that much less for local activity, i $15,000 IN PURSES A T STATE FAIR RACING PROGRAM COLUMBUS (Special)—Lovcra of harness horse racing will enjoy one of the finest speed programs eVey to be presented at the Ohio State Fair, with the 82nd renewal of this great exposition at Columbus August 29-Septemb,er 3. .
