The meeting openly had no political significance from the party standpoint—but party pol­ itics is now subordinate to the ills from which business has suf­ fered the past year. The'tenor o f the meeting was neither for or against any one candidate yet all candidates, those who may be successful at the polls November 8th can draw their own conclusions. The obiect is to make the public tax conscious and dispel the idea that the “ painless tax" is not as burdensome on business as a direct tax and that home and farm owner, as well as day laborer are paying a tax far out of reason in comparison with reduced incomes of all classes of our citizenship. wa o g s g ** iato sewuon next December, the De­ partment Will ask that the rote be restored to the former two cent basis. tor* are to 'report*. Our old .friend, Don C. Bailey, pub­ lisher of the West Liberty Banner, in Logan county, issued the fiftieth an­ niversary edition of the newspaper on October 20. Bailey i* now past 80 year* o f age and is still publisher, editor, reporter and supervises the mechanical staff. He says in the fifty years he has edited and printed 2600 consecutive issues o f the Banner, He has put in an average o f 12 b day at his duties, '*and has more obituaries for more peopli The last congress, responsibility of whichjnust be born by both of the old political parties, for the membership was about even, proved to be unconscious o f ohr tax burden. Members refused to reduce their own war-time salaries and drop the nu­ merous side lines that lined the pockets o f our legislative mem­ bers through a plan of placing members of their families on the. pay roll for imaginary jobs. Commissions by the score that are nothing more than parking places for politicians at handsome salaries still continue in the face of a depressed financial con­ dition of the government itself and its citizens ind iv idua ls The tax burden in this country is practically fifteen billion dollars annually and 76 per cent of this enormous cost comes from the pockets, directly or indirectly, of each farm and bomb- owner jn the nation. During the past ten years the federal tax has increased an. average of 14 per cent in what we know'as a peace-time decade. With the buying power of the people re.7 duced fifty per cent or more arid 11 million persons without income the future o f the country is now at stake. The meeting was not of the seare-crow kind for the situation is just so serious business has laid aside political lines to fight, for a cause that must be won irrespective of what a few hundred thousand of­ ficials think of it. - This is not written to influence a single voter in basting his vote for it is far more important than the election of any one man to any office in the country. One has to refer as to how candidates on each side of the political fence are making claims that are not only misleading and confusing to the electorate, but tend to show how little can be accomplished ih a legislative way unless ptiblic sentiment is changed from an indifferent at- tidue to .that of realization of the situation. One candidate Says the cost of government can be reduced twenty-five'percent and not disturb the efficiency .of government departments. Another says such cannot be done without cutting into the pensions and government aid given soldiers. A prominent senator that is the leader of his party in the upper house takes a different view ol the proposition and that federal expenses can he reduced e billion dollars annually, and he is campaigning in his own state for re-election’ on that issue. It is reported the Department o:' Agriculture now costs 220 millions yearly when it was only 110 million seven years ago. The relative, increase in the Depart’ ment o f Commerce is about the same. Farmers and businessmer are directly , interested in these two departments and openly approve of drastic reductions to greatly reduce these costs. The "same can be said of other departments. Business leaders as well as our leading financiers and ail economists have reached the conclusion that we cannot hope to pull ourselves out .of the depression until this cut is made- Speaking in teriris of billions is far beyond the comprehen­ sion o f most all of us, yet it is in these figures that we find our­ selves today. To. make our point clearer the government re­ ports that there is but 11 billion dollars, in gold in the world to­ day and that the United States has-but four billion of that. Then consider what our government expense represents, 10 billion more each year than we own in gold in this country. With this condition confronting business leaders, bankers, farm econo­ mists, it is little wonder we find ourselves where we are today. To add to the gravity of the situation additional taxes are pro­ posed^ especially a general sales tax that will reach into the pocket book of all daily is proposed as a further means of bal­ ancing the budget. The only sensible method is to. reduce taxes •and not create more but reduce the cost of government* We have arrived at the stage of a campaign to save, not spend, for no nation c ' er recovered itself by continued spending. We are no longer in the mood for more service but even less public ser­ vice to bring relief to a tax burdened nation. He doss not ovou use American labor.

Curlett. This new val­ uation will be effective fo r the Dacem- >er tax ratees and will save property- owners in the county many thousand dollars. The soundness o f the reduc­ tion is that all real estate values have dropped and Mr, Curlett fe lt that all property owners were entitled to this reduction. The realization o f what it means will come when you go to pay your real estate taxes in December.

The Cleveland Plain Deal­ er.and Cleveland Hews, the former Democratic and the latter Republican split their, choices on court judges. Various Republican weekly and coun­ ty seat papers have come out for White fo r re-election. Both Columbus papers, Journal and Dispatch are op­ posing two Republican nominees for Supreme Court. There never was as much discus­ sion over a choice fo r vice president in the past fifty years as we hear to­ day. Wet voters who might vote or­ dinarily for Hoover do not want to vote fo r Curtis and in some o f the large cities the Republican committees will not let Curtis speak. The Dem­ ocrats are having their troubles also. Garner is not very popular with the city folks oh the Democratic side and his committees do not care for him as a head-liner in the campaign.-But there is a rub for voters on both sides ,o f -the*political fence, You cannot vote for Hoover without voting fo r Curtis, neither can you-vote, for Roosevelt without voting foe Gamer. Secretary o f State Clarence Brown has ruled 'chat you cahnot scratch fo r vice pres- dehtial candidates. A vote for either party group o f president and vice president is only fop electors, whose names will hot be on the ballot. After all you never -vote fo r president or vice president directly* Changes in the straw voting show a fraction o f a per cent drift to Hoov­ er in some sections. In others Roose­ velt is holding his lead. The remark­ able feature o f the straw vote is the closeness'of percentage for the can­ didates as found in Cleveland, Colum­ bus and Cincinnati papers.

Mur­ dock,/ Mr. Cummings now resides in Jamestown and once in a while feels, the urge, to circulate among his for­ mer Cedarville friends. When it comes to swaping stories we can al­ most imagine just how these two old friends would try themselves. Mr. Cummings is one o f the few remain­ ing Civil War veterans in Greene county.. He served the county we! as county commissioner a number of years ago, and at one time was a no ted breeder o f hogs. Ordinarily one would Expect many a warm political debate between Messers Cummings and Murdock when they meet but i r 1 the new order o f the day there is nc chance of argument. The farm situ­ ation along with-some other policies of the administration have ’ not been to his liking and this year he leans to a protest vote.

Tw o pairs, $1.10 or single pairs 59c It is ampsing to read some editor­ ial comment on Henry Ford’s speech in.behalf o f President Hoover and his campaign. Some sarcastic comment has come even from Republican pa­ pers that "evidently do not admire the Detroit industrialist, who they refer to as an internationalist. The high spot is that Ford was much opposed to the present tariff-law and was bit­ ter in his criticism previous to pas­ sage, He was satisfied when tractors were placed on the agricultural list as MORE MONEY FOR MORE GRAPE JUICE The press dispatches this week convey the news from the seat of government in Washington that the Refinance Corpora­ tion has loaned $1,500,000 to the grape industry in California to increase the production o f that crop, which is the popular fruit for wine making. Previous loans o f $20,000,000 had been made during the year by the Federal Farm Board, presumably in the interest of Agriculture. Such steps on the part of the adminis­ tration have done more to create "disgust among early support­ ers of the eighteenth amendment than anything else. It is hard to conceive how such loans can be made in view of the fact that grape juice of this character rapidly turns to 12 per cent wine. Prohibition supporters are divided as at no time since the adoption of the eighteenth amendment. Both political par­ ties advocate a change or modification. Senator Reed of Penn­ sylvania, said to be personally dry, in a political speech a few days ago said, that congress would modify the prohibition law for beer and wine within the next six months, and being one of the leaders on the Republican side, speaks with authority. He further says such action will be taken regardless of who is the next president. ! One of the associations supporting a change has made a canvass of the various c&ndifiates, irrespective of party lines and reports that out of 607 candidates in 45 states, only 54 are opposed to repeal and 553 classified as wet. One thing is cer- ' tain Ohio will contribute one wet senator and two wet congress-: men elected at large, as candidates on each ^ide are wet. Dis­ trict congressmen against repeal in Ohio number seven with L. T. Marshall reporting to the -association as favorable to resub­ mission. Fourteen others are reported as favoring repeal. The supporters of the eighteenth amendment have much to do to even hold.their lines intact, let alone make a gain. If W e Stop Paying the Grocer H ow Are We Going to Eat? (From American Building Association New*! M “ There has been much talk about a mortgage moratorium. Pub­ lic offi cials, including Chairman Fort o f the. Home Loan Bank Board, and others, have urged a cessation o f foreclosure*! Gov. White has appointed a committee to study the possibilities o f relief to distressed home-buyers. Judges on the behch, in several instances in Ohio, have refused to grant a foreclosure although perfectly legal rights for such action were presented to the court, Charles V. Truax, former Director o f Agriculture and Democratic nominee for Congressman atJLarge, in a speech recently made at Sid­ ney, said: “ Distressed farmers and home-owners are fully justified in organizing and staging a moratorium march on the State Capitol when the General Assembly convenes in special session." LOCKING DOOR AFTER HORSE IS GONE I f the political campaign has done nothing more than bring to the attention of President Hoover, some injustices under his tariff law, is has been worth while for no one in the past two years has been able to interest him in tariff problems that were closing down American manufacturers. There is. no cry from- business for lower tariffs, other than on one or two items owing to new conditions that have arisen, but business has asked for A check on the free duty material coming in. Last week General Electric closed down a plant with the announcement it could not meet German and Japan competition on ten cent Electric hght bulbs o f inferior quality. With 4600 men out of work the President became interested and asked his stool-pigeon tariff commission to make an investigation, Akron rubber interests are showing no interest in the Hoover campaign owing to free - rubber boots and shoes from foreign countries. Mail order and certain chain store organizations have been handling this class or merchandise coming from foreign shores. Other items on the free list are leather gloves, cutlery, dried beans, canned vege­ tables and fish. Counters jn 5 and 10 cent stores as well as bargain basement stores have been loaded with foreign goods but it took the shock o f a political campaign to stir the Presi­ dent, At that he has not asked that many other items includ­ ing paper products be given more protection. EDITOR TALKS SENSIBLY In this connection, an editorial.by the editor o f the Cedarville, O., Herald is interesting: “ You hear much idle talk today about moratoriums for this and that. Even one o f the fraternal organizations is considering a mora­ torium on lodge dues to those unable to pay. No better encourage­ ment for those who are able to pay to follow suit, It has been pro­ posed to have moratoriums fo r all farm/and home loans. A holiday for the payment o f note or interest, With such a plan where would the moratorium lead the nation? Mr a moratorium on farms and homes why not one on manufacturing plants ? This would directly in­ terest holders o f most all preferrM stocks. There would be no divi­ dend payments, Banks? and building and loan associations could not pay interest to depositors and wo return payments for withdrawals for everything would stop, Ohe o f the most damaging things to bus­ iness and' disurbing factors to our^conomic situation was the grant­ ing a moratorium to Germany last ybar. The proposal was in the di­ rect interest o f 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 tl.eir interest and debt whether it was suitable to this country or not, “ The moratorium is nothing more than extending credit and credit is what has brought us to the wrecking point. We still are extend­ ing credit in scores o f ways under various titles through billion dollar government aid societies. This money must he repaid some time if not the good old golden eagle dollar will be listed about where the German mark was following the war. The public must not forget that much of this aid or relief program is political bunk. For in­ stance, every dollar the government turns over to Ohio this year a- bove the regular quota, will be deducted from next year’s share. Thus We are but making advance withdrawals on next year’s government aid fo r highway work. Credit cd'n Wreck states as well as individuals. “ The new kind o f credit for building and loan associations is very misleading to the public. If a building and loan borrows $50,000 from the government under this plan it must put tip first class mortgages as security. The interest from ait o f these mortgage notes advanced as security goes to the government as well as association dues or .other income. When tho loan enters into this kind Of a deal it will Weaken its financial position to the detriment o f patrons that have deposits, With the first class security gone the loan would not have revenae to pay the depositor his interest or the stockholder til* dividend, For this reason do not be mislead by much o f the propaganda about govern­ ment loans being o f direct aid to individuals. W* seem to be living in a time for adept deception, or as some would term deception—po­ litical .expediency."
