The Outlook is an old monthly that was .once made famous by Theo­ dore Roosevelt, where he expressed himself on public matters for years. Later the “ Independent” was added to the “Outlook” but the depression sent the ^combined monthly into receiver­ ship and both were suspended.

FINANCING THE REFINANCERS---- ------ You hear much as to what the government Refinance Cor­ poration is doing to relieve .business and start us on the road to economic recovery but little do you hear of what is being done to finance the refinancers . Each director of this new /govern­ ment corporation is receiving a salary of $10,000 to do patriotic work while the nation is taxed to the limit. In addition there arp 118 officials connected with this board that receive $4,800 or^more each month as salaries. Then there are ten more that receive $12,000 or more each. Completing the list are three staff members drawing $15,000 each. Meantime the nation is crying for a reduction in the cost of government. This is only one of the several financial relief bodies in operation and the salary list of the others are in keeping with the list given above. We read that a group of economists have made a survey and report that the way to end the depression is to. provide more jobs. This sort of thing may break the depression but how long will it be before manufacturers and business interests go broke making possible handsome jobs for politicians?. THE FARMER’S FIGHT IN IOWA Western farmers have tightened up their belts' and gone to war to force up the price of livestock, grain, milk and dairy products. The war outside of one or two breaks like holding up a freight train of live stock, has been obstruction of highway trucks. What tan be accomplished for future gain by such a movement is a puzzel? The more live stock held back now the morejthere will he_t®_go on the market ket later on. When a hog is. ready for market the farmer is at a loss to feed him longer! From reports there has been, some increase in the price o f all lairy produce to farmers. How much of the increase can be traced to the ‘highway bhickade” is not reported. Gutting production is the remedy to bring the price up. That is what the manufacturers tries to do but un­ der .present conditions, even manufac­ turers are breaking the old time rules in force since the advent o f William McKinley. Previous to that time the manufacturer filled warehouses and waited on buyers. Now he gets the orders and cannot be caught in a jam, This should be a lesson to farmers to [ hold down on production. When any. 'thing is scarce it is the tendency of the American people to want it more than ever. Then up goes the price. There are many here that will remem­ ber the- Rasor family. The father Matthew Rasor, for many years pre­ vious to his death was the local agent of the Pennsylvania railroad and was promoted to agent in London. His son, “ Joe” , as he was best known, some years later became assistant gent at London and now he has been named as deputy county treasurer in his county. His older brother, Charles, after leaving here became connected with the' Bell Telephone Company and has been with that com­ pany in an executive position for many a year, working from the bot­ tom up. Ohio Methodism is centralizing in Cincinnati this week where one of the largest conferences of the church is in session. Many important problems will be under consideration, particu­ larly finance-, must be met, according to official reports. But the Methodist brethern are not the only ones faced with financial matters. Economic conditions are just as serious with the churches as colleges, or individuals The sessions will be held in the Ma­ sonic Temple. past become outstanding in the ranks of American colleges and universities bpt a new situation faces the state at this time. How long will the univer­ sity or college last if we allow the public schools to close? Ohio owes each boy and girl an education and the opportunity to specialise in the higher institutions of learning. The boy or girl up to and including high school should have his education free. More than that he should get a uni­ versity course free or with nominal fees. Where Ohio is loosing money on education is conducting a branch of the university for the advance­ ment of public school teachers, college professors, and others seeking higher degrees and yet all at some time of the year on $2,000 to $5,000 salaries. This view may not just suit, some of our friends that enjoy this privilege but we view it from the economic standpoint of the state. What fee is charged is not in fine with the benefits derived. Ohio will not long let her grade and high schools be closed and at the same time spend millions on higher education. Most of this high­ er education should be paid for. by the recipient and not the taxpayers. If there ever was a breach o f the law it has been in Iowa the past few weeks where distracted farmers have taken things j in their own hands, blockading traffic on highways, to force up the jjrice level of dairy and live stock prices. If there ever was j a breach o f the law justified it has been the action o f the Iowa farmers. Like the bonus army in Washington we can not see The farmers on a strike stormed a . _ county jail in a peaceable manner to I was all that Was necessary. One of Ohio’B oldest newspaper men put his newspaper “ to bed” early Sunday morning; retired himself not to awaken. In the. death of George S. McDowell, managing editor of the ..Cincinnati Enquirer, Ohio lost one of her outstanding men in the field -of journalism.—He w u 77- years o f age and was probably the oldest managing editor in the United States. For 52 /eats he was connected with Cincin nati newspapers. . He was a native of Pennsylvania. He loved his profes sion and was always at his desk dur ing the required hours. Our first ac- piaintance dates back to the year the Harmon campsgm for governor and that o f Taft for president. We were the guest at the Enquirer office on election day night of the late James Faulkner. In those days jt was i real treat to ,be in the office of metropolitan newspaper when election returns came in; Well do we remem ber that night and the number of dif­ ferent times it was necessary to make i change in the leading front.page head before the paper went to press. First it would be one candidate lead­ ing and then the other. "Mac” as he was best known never forget the face Jt a newspaperman.

FULTON,' Superintendent of Banks of the State o f Ohio in charge of the liquidation of The Exchange Bank, Gedar- ville, Ohio, . (Sept. 1-8.) Attorftey General Gilbert Bettman has announced the appointment of two j Xenia attorneys to represent the state superintendent of banks in the [ liquidation of the closed Commercial j and Savings Bank in Xenia. This is another political step to aid the unem- ployed at the expense of the deposi-, tors, which should be welcome news to / Xenians. Charles L. Darlington and L. T. Marshall are the lucky boys to get the depression fees. Bettman does not state whether Darlington is to aid Marshall -in advice or Marshall aid Darlington. Both are members of the Mystic Order of the Bar Association, otherwise about as far apart politic­ ally, as the north and south poles.
