While some of the points covered, espec­ ially reduction of government costs were much more than what he asked fo r last June to balance the budget, yet he did not go a$ fur as most p&opla would 11K$ to havo so thut we could have a balanced budget without additional taxes, Moreover he failed to mention many of the things he advo­ cated from the platform in his campaign. He makes no mention of the tariff situation, the Moratorium, payment of the foreign debts, prohibition, agriculture or the railroad situation, all of which are subjects that must have attention before we. can have an. opportunity for business revival. , . , , The President did suggest changes in our banking laws and his economic program included some reduction in the army and naval costs, a reduction in pay o f government employees over S1,000, and a rather heavy cut in the public works program. Rather than make additional reductions to balance the budget he advocates a sales tax, which was unpopular last summer and will meet strong opposition again. In many quarters it was ex­ pected that he would advocate a big reduction in the salaries of congressmen and senators. Expecting to retire next. March he could have taken this step without, injuring his political fu­ ture. Judging from the reaction o f the markets the message did not give much hope for an early change in business condi­ tions.," ' ■ ... , - FUTURE OF THE HOME L O A N BANK The future for the Home Loan Bank, a government branch .provided for building and loan associations, does not seem to have a very bright future. Congress provided for such a finan­ cial institution in the closing days of the session which ended in the summer. While much was promised in the way of results, for some reason the public has never been greatly impressed with it. No claims were made that it would be of direct benefit or give aid to individual depositors, but there was an inference that it would, but not directly. Now the individual finds he-has no more chance of getting his money than if the law was never enacted, so he has no interest in it. Already congress in the new session has taken the bill un­ der consideration and many senators have announced opposi­ tion to it. The Home Loan bank has not made loans yet and as we scan the surface there is not much prospect that a loan will be made soon. The crippled building and.loan associations will not be able to borrow any amount of importance, so little aid is to be expected from all such. Th,e larger loan associations can borrow, having the assets to secure it, but they will not rush to get tied up in government red tape. Again a loan from the gov­ ernment to a strong building and loan will not do much to in­ spiring greater confidence. But the Home Loan bank legislation did do one thing, it gave the politicians a chance to relieve unemployment before the election. Hundreds of persons were added to the already overburdened government payroll. No loans' are being made because the Home Loan bank has no money to loan, yet the list is being cared for just the same. We do not know whether anyone knows just what the new branch o f government banking will do for the loan associations or even the individual depositors. It is an experiment pure and simple. The trouble is we have set up a very expensive organi­ sation before we were ready for it—but that is one of the fur tunes o f politics, which usually takes precedent before .good business judgment. We have always been under the impres­ sion that had more attention been given the loan associations at the approach of the depression, the nation would not have been in the plight it is. Probably more interests and more individ­ uals have their savings at stake than in any other institutions. As a rule Wall Street has no direct connection with loan assoc­ iations as with the banking system of the country. Wall Street interests had first knowledge of what was coming and had the opportunity to seek shelter. In addition the government was at the elbow of the international bankers, so loan associations hac no chance until the proposal of the Home Loan bank was made and no one knows what it will do or even can do.

Henry Ford from hiB bed in the Detroit hospital he founded and which hears his name, says the ha* “some­ thing new” in motor cars” to offer the motor world, but he did not say what the nature of his surprise would be or when the announcement would be forth coming. He also let it be known that Franklin Roosevelt'Jr., son of the.president-elect visited him . fo r thirty minutes. Ford said: “I told nim to tell his father that I ’m always with the president, no matter who he for a period o f eight years.” the private citizen, the msnufactorer'Have excellent facilities fo r handling' tM 'l What Public Utility Service Really Means * (Editorial from Pottstowin^Ba., NEWS,) George B. Courtelyou, president of The National Electric Light Association, made a precise statement of the duties of an electric utility, when he said: “ Its obligations are: First to furnish an adequate and contiuous supply of electricity at a fair and reasonable price. Second, to supplement this with a series of definite human con­ tacts through which the relations be­ tween company and customer may be maintained on a basis of mutual re­ spect, under standing and goodwill. “ This is the hink of service our cus­ tomers have a right to expect of us. More they cannot ask; less we should not give. “ The whole “ Power Problem” has be­ come confused the past few years. We have been led to think of the industry as a remote and gigantic thing, where­ as, so far as we arc concerned, it is an institution rendering a very personal service. Its job is to provide us with kilowatt-hours, at an equitable price. So long as it does that, it is doing a good j b. When it fails to do that, the time for complaint has'arrived; “ Bickerings between friends and ene- - mies of the electric, industry should not be allowed to confuse this fact. It is within the power of each of us to appraise the benefits we receive from electricity, and then relate them to the price they cost us. When we do that, we get the clearest possible under­ standing of what electric power and utility service really mean,” The Dayton Power & Light Company Ohio w ill use about 1,200,000 Christ­ mas trees, according to .F . W , Dean, specialist in forestry fo r the agricul­ tural extension service at Ohio State University. Selling at 50c each, the rees would be worth $600,000. White ipruce and Canadian balsam fir are he two most popular varieties ship- ;edintothe state. There has grown ip quite an industry in Ohio fo r the -rowing of trees fo r Christmas. The popular varieties are Norway spruce, iemlock, white pine, scrub pine and nd pitch pine;. They are cut between and ten feet, whjph represents the iges from 5 to 20 years old. - Now that Congress is in session we an look fo r early legislation, if all •eports are true, concerning the reduc- ion in first clasB postage from three to two cents. Cong. Lamneck, Colum­ bus, proposes such a bill, after mak- ng a survey. Regardless o f the fact Vest class postage was increased by he present administration fifty per ant as a revenue measure, postal re- aipts have continued to decline month *,fter month. While U n d e Sam is a jowerful fellow in many ways, once i a while his subjects rebel, just like <iey did on election day at the polls, .nd the way they have tried and suc: ceded in escaping the increased post­ age. The investigation by the. house •ommittee oh poatoffice and post road# shows extravagance in management >t the postoffice department. The com nittee finds the department showed i profit of $42,000,000 the year previous m first class mail. Under the three tent postage the department has >ig loss. The department holds .that it has a monopoly on the mail busi- tess. Certain business interests were maple to stand" the increased cost at the low ebb o f business conditions ,vas then pressure was used to force he business world to get behind the Three cent postage. The answer to the postal department was registered November 8 th. - or basin*** in general. While thsee was no mention of bring this fight on industry, it weald be but the first step to that sod. The thirty-hour week on the railroads would mean increased freight rates to get revenue. This would lower the price o f farm prod­ ucts and increase the cost of manu­ factured goods, at a time when the public was least able to stand it. A former Greene county boy gain­ ed fame over night that extends a- round the world. He is none other than Dr, Roy Donaldson McClure, who performed what is said to be « suc­ cessful operation on Henry Ford, the automobile magnate. W e learn that Dr. McClure was bom in Bellbrook, Greene county, the son of D r, James Albert and Ina HeBter. Donaldson Me Glure. The young D r, graduated from the Columbus high school in 1900 and O. S. U . in 1908, receiving his “M .D ,” from John* Hopkins the same year, Dr. McClure went to the mammoth Ford hospital in Detroit in 1916 ac head surgeon. He served in the World W a r as a major in the medical corps, becoming commanding officer of evac­ uation hospital No. 33 A . E. F. While ihe Dr. is known in the medical world he was.not known in a popular way. With the publicity following the oper­ ation, and the success credited him, he now has a world-wide reputation as a, surgeon. It is fine that such can ae bestowed on a Greene county boy. It was painful news that Senator S. D. Fess sent out from Washington on fuesday to federal office holders— - do lot seek your job-again, for it would ie futile to make a fight to retain any >f the positions. The letter was sent Postmaster. Geren of Columbus, vhose term of four years ended on December 6 . According to the Sena- ;or Republican nominations will be re- ected by the present Senate for con­ firmation. In other words the Demo­ crats are to pass out the same brand of political medicine as the Republi­ cans used a t the d o s e o f the Wilson administration. The fortune of poli­ tics, nothing else. and retailing beer—without the nec­ essity,o f the unpopular saloon. In the years o f long ago it is true the gro­ cery store was the common retail out­ let for beer. But that was before the saloon and the free lunch became pop­ ular. What has become of the old fash­ ioned medicine show that used to hit towns under 5,000 population each winter with a line of medicines and soaps that would cure anything from corns to the toothache? With such outfits were usually six or eight stage actors that entertained free while the medicine venders were selling their products. There was the popularity contest, the most beautiful girl con­ test, guessing as to how many beans are in the jar. Those were the days and nighty when a two weeks stay was nothing unusual. The shows were of the melodrama type, with enough shooting to keep the audience awake and ready to make another purchase if herb juice of some sort. The most popular actors of those days were the Shannons, Edmond Brussels, bet­ ter known in private life as William Clifton.' Why Buy Oil From The butchering season is at hand and as one drives about the country you see slaughtered hogs hanging fo r the cooling out process, or .men at work cutting up the meat or rendering the lard. With hogs at a low price it is safe to predict that more than the usual amount of home dressed and cured meat w ill be put away this win­ ter. » TEFFERSONV ILLE B A N K TO P A Y D IV ID END DEC. 16 The closed Citizens Bank in Jeffer­ sonville, in charge of the State Bank­ ing Department, will pay, a second div- dend on December.

HEATHMAN, Manager The delightful, “spring” weather the past week has brought out signs not often found in December, “New Maple Syrup”, along the' roadside. Scores of maple tree groves have already been* tapped and the “first run” made anc now on the market. W e notice that even in Northern Ohio, taps have been made, one fanner having gathered 25 barrels of sap, that produced 18 gal- Ions of syrup. Such weather is wel> corned when we think of the heavy drain on coal piles with the mercury at 10 above, but ordinarily such weather is not the most healthful. Those that are still old-fashioned enough to be interested in ° harness racing, will be interested in Dr. Hugh M. Parshall, Urbana, noted reinsman, having purchased Me I (3 ) pacer, 1:59 3-4, at the N ew York horse sale, He bought Lord Jim by Guy Axworthy and Hal Abbe (4 ), pacer, 2:03 3-4, at the Indianapolis sale.

It 3 “bottom” land, wooded with small breams and springs. The west end an be; dammed fo r an artificial lake. User resides in New York and says he land, is worth $75,000. The legis- iture must accept the land by special igislation as was done with the Bryan tate Park. As this is written it looks like there rill be no beer in Christmas stockings his year, unless it is the home brew rand. Congress,,took a vote Monday \t the opening session but “lame lucks” saw their, opportunity to kill he measure, Forty-four Democrats hd one hundred Republicans, failed ither at the primary or regular elec- ion and tried to get even fo r their de­ feat. A s the vote stood only six more /otes would have provided repeal and :ast gloom on those who had hoped to relebrate what looks now like a green Christmas as if summer were here. iVith an extra session of Congress it is certain the repeal measure will oassed with votes to spare and then t will be beer fo r the Fourth of July n many states for they have already repealed their prohibition enforce- nent laws. The farce o f political control of prohibition enforcement; the depression and unemployment; the mpposed relief from a tax on beer, have all given the repeal forces much strength. Between the two political parties the question has been as ;he plan of returning beer. The Dem­ ocrats were for outright repeal, while the Republicans offered resubmission. The latter was stressed in dry territory while in the cities the Republicans en­ deavored to convince their party fol- ‘owers that were wet, that they had ihe safest plan to get around the 18th amendment. The party plank was straddle that won few wet Republican votes and disgusted thousands of drys.

Thirty-five repre­ sentatives of three Methodist denomi­ nations, have completed their work after examining 8000 hymns, new and old. Dr. John W . Langdale, says this is not a “hymn writing age.” Hun dreds of new compositions Were given close judgment but he says very few were worthy of a place in the hym­ nal. The depression is now taking us out of the jazz age, musically, and in the future, for a few years at least, wo may give more serious thought not only to hymnals but .church work in general. And we might also add a more conservative idea of business. ^ i How much will the attitude o f the American Federation of Labor execu­ tive council, aid the redo’ ery of busi­ ness on the basis of demands endorsed at a recent Cincinnati meeting? The labor group w ill demand a 30 hour week for .government employees and those under the interstate commerce regulation, railroad employes. The . statement of William Green, president | that “we will use force o f some kind j to enforce labor’s demand if all other j methods fail”,, may not set well with Congress is worrying over the pro posed beer bill and the poor old distil ler is not having much to say in the controversy as much of his chances went glimmering with the turndown of the Republican platform by the de feat o f the ticket, The California wine interests have joined hands with the brewers and will be; taken care of in the legislation. Just how to handle the beer and wine with no saloons is the big problem. That should be no difficult problem to solve. I f we are to have beer and wine fo r the tax we do not need saloons. Each town am city has a postoffice and let the gov­ ernment make all sales, take all the profit, collect the tax and balance the budget. This way there will be no legislation needed for enforcement; no longer will the government heed appropriate miiliohs to the politicians fo r enforcement. The government is now in the banking business, wheat and cotton business, farm loan and co-operative business, steel business In erecting its own ships, printing business, all being operated at a loss so we see no reason if we are to have liquor again, the government should be in the business, take all the profit and tax and have a complete monopoly on it. With postmasters handling the booze there will he no need fo r gov­ ernment, state or local police fo r en­ forcement. Albert H.
