On th* one hand th* atior.s and are now being repaid for WORLD WAR VETERANS ON THE BLOCK There seems to be a systematic campaign fully mapped out hv certain big financial interests and the present national ad. ministration to place the Veterans of the World W a rm a false light before the public. There is m New York an organization that is headed by prominent Republicans that is demanding the reduction of the compensation or other financial aid the govern­ ment has been giving the veterans. Now comes another attack on the Spanish W a r v.eterans that their allowance should be re­ duced W e may yet expect to see this followed by a demand to relieve the few remaining Grand Army veterans in their declin­ ing days of their pensions. No doubt this all comes about as a result of the demand of the thousands of unemployed World Veterans for their bonus, that they will not become object of charity in every sense of the word. Politics has had much to do with the situation the veH. erans find themselves in to day. As long as the leadership lean­ ed a certain way, and the membership followed, all was jake using a slang expression. When the membership refused to fol­ low the leadership, this upset plans of the politicians and now we find the politicians turning their guns on the boys that risk­ ed their lives in gas filled trenches that the politicians of both political parties could remain at home and reap the big money the war brought the United States. While we sympathize with the veterans in their demand we have repeatedly stated that there was no chance whatever of this country paying the bonus. The international hankers with the backing of the Hoover administration have loaned our once foreign foe, as well as our war allied nations, to a- point where the credit of the nation was impaired. A fter it was too late President Hoover, awoke, as recently stated by the New York Tribune^ to the seriousness of the situation, and then came the demand for balancing the budget, which had not been bal- enced from the first year of the Hoover administration. The financial crisis simply^has made it impossible for a bonus pay­ ment at this time. The insistant harping of the administration about the bonus and prohibition is nothing more than a smoke screen to keep the public mind off what the administration has heen doing for foreign countries, some of which have been using their loans to pay ensions to their veterans. These countries are' taking advantage of a moratorium and not repaying this nation the loans, and cancellation of the war debts only addsto the gravity of the situation. W e doubt very much whether the veterans would ask for the bonus were it not for the fact that hundred million dollar corporations, banks and other enterprises have been .voted huge 'loans, most of which will never be repaid to the government. It is this feature that bothers business interests and no doubt caus­ ed Senator Fess in an address to make the statement that a - general sales tax on everything would likely be the next step when congress meets in December. Instead of coming out of the depression every step seems to be deeper into it for this nation. From the party standpoint we have never been able to just quite figure out the Republican viewpoint towards the veterans W e are evidently living in an age of one day to another with­ out considering the future or taking stock of 'what history has recorded in,the past. Following the Civil W a r the Democratic party took issue with the Republicans over the pensions grant­ ed Civil W a r ^veterans* Public sentiment backed the Grand Army. It was not many years until the sons of these Civil War , veterans were voters. As years went on the grand children were voters and probably seventy-five per cent o f sons and grandsons followed their elders in the Republican party, which continuec to grow in numbers and party strength, to guarantee years of. party success at the polls.' Now the sons of many veterans of the World W a r are com­ ing to their majority, only to Be followed later on with grand­ sons. With the Republican party following the W a ll Street In­ ternational bank crowd and a campaign to discredit the veter­ ans of the last war, where is the party to land in future years? There are fa r more veterans of the World W a r than there were of the Civil W a r and there is no doubt of the power and in­ fluence these Veterans, their sons ana grandsons will have in the coming years and it will be great enough to make or break any political party that exists today or may be born in the fii ture. - That certain abuses exist among veterans;, as to so-callec aid or pensions granted, we do not doubt. In fact we know of • some but it has been bnly within the past two years that these abuses have become numerous. For the Hoover administra­ tion to condemn veterans for something that has gone on under the administration and which it is directly responsible for, does not cull for much criticism on the part of the administration supporters. The thousands of veterans on the federal pay roll in positions paying princely salaries, and at the same time draw­ ing compensation, is enough to make any veteran who fjas no compensation, nor a job to enable him to support his family or mmself, a bit out of Order with the administration. The presen ; campaign to disgrace the veterans will fail and those who have a part in it will just as surely pass into private life as the years come and go and the veteran families expand to voting age, IT MAY BE EMBARRASSING TO SOME Four years ago President Hoover left a bit of sop for both wets and drys in his “noble experiment” speech, more for the encouragement of the former than the latter. He later named the Wickersham Commission, all wet but two. Their report was too broad and might prove offensive to the drys and he or­ dered the Commission to tone.it down. He provided police pro tection that imported liquor could be "safely transported over Washington streets to foreign legations for the enterfainmen and pleasure of official Washington at state and social affairs. The President ordered the Army out'to shoot down the bonus army but has anyone ever heard of him ordering the army out to enforce prohibition or against .Chicago racketeering? The President has no vote on prohibition but Senators do and Ohio prohibitionists worry about presidential candidates and let one of two, wets go to the Senate, Homes*- farms, business, bread and butter seem to be in the background with too many over zelous persons about something we already have and is not to be taken out of the constitution by either side-—for nothing yet ever placed in the constituion has been taken out. I f prohibition is such an important factor in this election what has become of Bishop Cannon, that campaigned for Hoov­ er four years ago and turned part of the solid south to Hoover? What has become of Senator Fess and his famous prohibition exhortations? Where are all the other Anti Saloon League cam­ paigners that were so active four years ago? There is no one pointing “with pride” to the Hoover ad­ ministration on. the prohibition issue other than those interest­ ed in staying on the federal pay roll." With eleven million people out of employment and homes and farms at stake cer- talnly we are being led up a blind alley by the “bugaboo” of prohibition, which we now have, but not enforced by the fed­ eral government owing to Wet sympathizers in public office at the good grace of the President and his political associates. His own cabinet contains one outstanding dry. Let's1have a little more common sense view of the situation and consider the more important phases of the campaign that confidence in business can be restored and men provided employment to support them- ^ a *101?* Otherwise we have not seen the worst and the nation's business executives are taking that viewpoint. There are many thousands of prohibition supporters that'are honest jn their stand in defense of their ideals but they are of- P u r p le that certain candidates on the "ecessary to the welfare of the county, childrennat 0tt* brea<1 ftnd ,)UtteSr for women and defender* ot tii* riWaiefratirii i n critical o f th* public brine involved so deeply in debt on privet* affairs and yet urging th* government and state* to saddle taw* public debt on the people to cur* th* depression. It a case o f going into debt to pay a debt and this is something .new in econom­ ics. The depression has brought one thing to the front that h»s never been given much consideration in the past and that through the closing o f so many banks is the second mortgage 'situation. There is going to be a de­ mand from financial interests at the next legislature, not only in Ohio, but other states, to outlaw the eeconc. mortgage. Hundreds o f banks have carried these mortgages as assets that have had no value what ever and,this has fooledTthe public as- to the safety and soundness o f the institutions. It is contended that with only one mort­ gage possible, the" banka and building and loans would be better o ff and the property owner no worse off. Real estate development companies have eliminated much o f the second mort gage by taking two mortgages in the sale o f property, a first and second- Usually the real estate, company held first and a finance company second, but the finance company and the beat ty company were both under the same control. I t has not been so long ago. that a' certain candidate for high o f flee boasted that his company never foreclosed a mortgage on a home. This was a clever campaign stunt and had an appeal, but-the candidate never told his audience .that the finance or investment company., he controlled held the second mortgage and fore­ closed on hundreds o f people that failed in their payments on their homes. The political turmoil that exists in Columbus among Republican 1leaders has set old timers back in their chairs with amazement. It is said the Ingalls organization has started to set up in dependent organizations in "' sixty counties in the state. Other Republi­ can state, candidates are floundering our inanity by repudiations or threats o f repudiations, Nothing the matter with us but plain damfooUshness. The prohibition repeal-resubmission controversy has brought out many » good jest but the following from the Pathfinder for Sept. 17 brings the is­ sue home in a good natured way! "MORE ‘NOBLE EXPER IMENT'” "W e gather from Republican and Democratic speeches that ‘prohibition is doomed,’ yet on the other hand ‘the old saloon’ is not to return. Drinking spiritous liquors is. to be lifted to a higher social and moral plane. Under government and state supervision the new era liquor dispensaries are to be places where one will not be afraid or ashamed to take one’s own mother-in- law fo r an afternoon or evening of innocent fun. Everything will be done to eliminate the evils o f the old saloon and patrons will glide, in and out of the new fangled thirst parlors with a feeling o f righteousness only exceeded >y a trip up one of Billy Sunday’s sawdust trails, “ That is the picture the wet candi­ dates have painted fo r the drys, but the drys would like more information before Nov. 8. They would like' to know just what is to replace the old saloon, what it will be called,* how the alcoholic beverages will be dispensed and in what measure to individual imbibers. Will President Hoover and Governor Roosevelt give them the de­ tails of this bigger and better ‘noble experiment’ before election or will the drys choose to vote for what seems to be the lesser o f two evil wet planks ? Even the wets are curious to know how*, when and where the legalized refreshments will be served. In place of the bar with its brass, rails and sawdust and convenient cuspidors will they find dainty green and yellow tea tables and chairs ? Instead o f the cor* pulent redfaced bartender with sleev es rolled up and large white apron protecting his. expansive shirt front from flying suds will they find a t­ tractive slim barmaids serving rye j here and there, all a* tK^result o f the Why it takes so many millions for relief purposes may be explained by a news story out o f Cleveland. A lot of twenty acres adjoining the city was ilowed and the use donated by the owner to grow garden truck for the unemployed, Tho city through the relief agency employed ’labor to put out the crop, tend it and gather it. Watchmen were employed day and night and labor paid 35 cents an hour. There were bosses and time keepers and when the cost was figured up this week it was found the city had paic out $3672 to farm the twenty acres; I f the twenty acres had been planted in potatoes and file same amount paid out it would have been necessary to get 918 bushel of potatoes per acre at 50c a bushel to break even. But think of the good th*t was. accomplished in giving the bosses, timekeepers, watch­ men, jobs at big salaries while the la­ bor received 35c an hour for eight hours, .We have not yet been wean­ ed away from our World War habits o f extravagance, , and gin in tantalizing tiny teacups to tired truck drivers and weary business executives ? Will there be official state bouncers in gold stripped blue uni­ forms to toss, objectionable patrons out into; the gutter or will a kindly gray haired state matron show them the way to go home? “ The old ‘saloon’ must not return, It must be elevated until no one can recognize it except perhaps, by the .well. I t is high time that a new and ess shocking name were chosen. for ►;t. We modestly offer the following suggestions, to either party: Chip pit the Old Flaiilc, Republican Rest Room. Democratic Demijohn (the younger generation won’t know what that ‘.means); Ye Inside Inn, State Filling Statien, Ye Olde Swimming Hole, Ail Inn, Dutch Treat Tavern, Cheerio Chateau, Depression Oasis* Prosper :ty Parlor, Chalk Line Cafe, New Era Speakup, or, Personal Liberty Insti- toot. Anyhow, we would remind you ‘that ‘the saloon’ must not come back.’’ activity o f Walter Brown. The candi dates all know that Hoover has no chance in carrying Ohio and their fear is that the state ticket,may go down With him. The Columbus Dispatch, that started out for Hoover, has solt-i peddled and fears the same result to tiie state ticket and carried a story that Republicans were preparing to Lrade Hoover with, the Democrats for Ingalls, The Republican,, candidates on the- state ticket ore w *nt W to mow what is to become o f them? One o f our farmer friends from S' ’•quod Clifton, dropped in'Monday and in the course o f conversation remark­ ed that Candidate Marshall had ad- iressed Antioch students backing the Hoover administration, farm relief apd all. He says the students were so impressed with the speech that When the straw vote was taken they /oted largely in the majority for the Socialist Candidate, Thomas. There has been much speculation as to who will pay back to the govern * ment, all these billions o f dollars ap­ propriated fo r various purposes in the name o f relief and restoration o f bus­ iness, It just came to light this week that the Reconstruction Finance Corp, will hold the state o f Ohio responsible for the repayment o f the $2,337,000 relief loan granted to Cleveland. The R. F. C, Saturday granted $2,807,000 for relief work in Cleveland for the remainder of the year. The application for the $2,337,000 direct relief must now be secured by the state. This will make $4,427,662 granted that has been loaned to Ohio cities fo r Telief. We realize some method is necessary to provide for certain relief but has any one stopped to think who, when and how this money is to be repaid ? With* each o f the billion dollar Hoover cor­ porations is a long list o f $10,000, $25,000 and .$35,000 a year officials. The government budget is unbalanced more today than when congress was in session trying to find new taxes to balance it. Business has gone into a trance knowing that billion dolla&ex- penditures in a wholesale-manner and no plan made for repayment spell dis­ aster. • The Court o f Appeals on Monday sustained a Common Pleas Court de­ cision which punctures the Ohio Clas­ sification tax law so far as distribu­ tion of the intangible tax is concern­ ed. Tho suit was brought in Cincin­ nati and the result affects the entire state. Only fifteen counties in Ohio collected their quota o f intangible tak­ es. Under the law those counties not collecting would share in the excess from those that did. The Courts have stopped payment o f the excess and this means less fo r schools, counties and municipalities. as to procedure to keep th* roads on their fret.
