Cedarville, Ohio, October 31, 1887, as gsecond class matter* " FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1933. “SHOW-ME” STATE TAKES HONOR Missouri, the “Sliow-me” state gets the honor of pushing the 20th amendment to the constitution into a lodging place m our governmental background that is dot likely to ever be mov­ ed or even tampered with. With it comes the end ot the in­ famous “ lame duck” sessions of Congress, The nation is now experiencing what a “ lame duck” outfit means to the country. Thirty-six states have ratified the amendment, Ohio not Setting under the line until after Missouri had acted favorably. Other states are expected to follow suit. „ The amendment provides that congress shall be convened on January 3rd following the election; abolishes the hold over short session which returns Congress for three months after a new Congress is elected; changes date of presidential inaugu­ rations from, March 4th to January 20th. The amendment be­ comes effective on October 15th. By this change President­ elect Roosevelt’s term will be shortened 43 days. After the end­ ing of the Roosevelt first term, the next will be the full four years. The original provision of the constitution providing for the changes of the administrations on March 4th following the election was all right in the days of slow transportation and then members of Congress were more interested in the develop­ ment of the country than perpetuating themselves in office. The amendment is a result of a ten year fight-by Senator George Norris, Nebraska. It will probably bring an end to the f ilib u s ­ ter that has been used at various times to defeat important leg­ islation. The “ lame duck” sessions of Congress have proven that much of our government cost has arisen as a result. The idea of having defeated members of Congress passing legislation for three months after the electors had chosen their successors has resulted in log-rolling and public buildings by the hundred. It provided for special commissions and bureaus that defeated members’ could park themselves at high salaries and unlimited expense accounts. With the lame-duck sessions out of the way Congress should next undertake to rewrite the federal civil ser­ vice laws that keeps hundreds of aged, infirm, incompetant and favorite office'holders on the job. Each change in administra­ tions only adds to the civil service list. Right now scores ol Republican office holders not protected by civil service are be mg.-given places before the Democrats take charge March 4th. .A t the end of the four-year Democratic rule, hundreds more of the party followers will get on the protected list. In this way government costs mount year after year. Civil Service is not what .it was expected to be and neither party has backbone to urge legislation against it. “ To the victor belongs the spoils” is practiced yet by each party adding to the salary list and not displacing anyone. The 20th, amendment is a great achieve­ ment. SELF SERVICE Many good folk are lamenting the passing of the era when men and women consecrated their lives to unselfish service anc prepared themselves to become ministers, missionaries, teachers or country, doetors that they might administer to the spiritual mental and physical need of humanity without thought 01 large- worldly gain. They are not in error when they charge that modern men and women are choosing vocations today in which they can do the greatest service to themselves. People of today are coming to the belief that the best way they can help others is to produce much that their profits shall be large and that they shall never become dependent upon so­ ciety. . The old idea of service was direct;' The new service is indirect. Twenty years ago it was still thought that only min­ isters, doctors and teachers served humanity. Today every workman who carries his whole day’s wage home is known to have earned that wage in service to society. Elbert Hubbard's version of the Golden’ Rule was “ Do unto others as though you were the others,” but even more up to date version is “Do yourself much good and no bad to others.” Get­ ting something for yourself is reprehensible only when it is ob tained at the expense of another. News, Austin, Minn Legislation cannot make prosperity. Work is the world's richest gold mine. The more government we have the }eJs we care for it. No business man can succeed who uses a pair of shoes for a paper weight. * The constant and consistant advertiser is still doing busi ness at the old stand. If you cannot do great things remember that you may do small things in a great way. The train of time and opportunity has no rear entrance you have to enter by the front door if you care to ride. Every governmental official or board.that handles public money should publish at regular intervals an accounting of it showing where and how each dollar is spent. This is a funda mental principle of democratic government. ’ PUBLIC SALE!

Xenia police, Clinton and Warren counties did a good job when the last of the bank bandits that hold up the irst National Bank Sabina, a week ago, were landed behind the bars. The loot was. $2500, part of which was found on the men. The last two were traced to Memphis, Tenn., where they were arrested. . No More New Taxes” has been the slogan in Democratic circles since the first o f the year. This was good news to Ohioans but this week Gov. White comes forward with a suggestion for nuisance, sales or what ever kind of taxes you want to call it, on cigars, cigarettes, theatre admissions, malt, soft drinks, etc. In addition he would divert part of the gasoline tax that is paid by motorists for road construe- utes E. 90 feet to the N.

Hugh Turnbull, Clerk (Cedarville Herald Print) Wilmington is one of the few towns of its size that still has arc electric lights on the streets in the residence section.

When Edwin pierce Flynn, better known as <“Ed” signed o ff “ 30” last Saturday, Ohio lost one of its most versatile paragraph writers and col- umists. “ Ed” was editor of the South Charleston Sentinel for many! years. After he retired from active newspa­ per work some years ago he contin­ ued to write for various newspapers and his comments of state and nation­ al affairs were copied by daily news­ papers throughout the country. He had a style all of his own and through it he was able to hold the attention’ of his readers, Some years ago he serv­ ed as postmaster in his home town. J. B. Malone, Springfield attorney, has been named co-receiver for the E. C. Denton Stores Co.,-Springfield by Judge Robert Nevin of the United States District Court on application of ;he National City Bank, New York. The Denton Company has two stores n Springfield, including the Wren Co., and other stores in various- cities, David Lloyd George, war premier of Great Britain, gave out an unusual statement on his 70th birthday that is a. left handed compliment to this na­ tion. He says: “ The English Govern­ ment has been bluffed by Canada, de­ fied by Japan and. bullied by the Unit­ ed States government is like a dying ,vasp in the fall, with but one sting left.” That one sting is enough if it is applied at the right time and right place. European nations are having a hard time making up their mind the debts due this country must be paid. Until the moratorium two years ago, such a thing was known to this gen­ eration and it will be many more gen­ erations before it will be used again in public affairs. From what we get from a promi nent Cincinnati business man the fight still wages in that city over selection of a sight for the new $6,000,000 post office building. The leading citizens are demanding that the new building ae erected on the site of the present structure to be torn down. It is on the main city square convenient for all citizens. By building there the gov­ ernment would be saved $1,000,000 in, the purchase of a new site in a distant part of the city, that sum having been set aside by Congress for a new site. As usual the politicians have a site un­ der option they want to unload on the government at a huge profit, said to be half a million. And you would be startled to hear of some names being mentioned as connected with tlie big “profit” in case the government takes the new site. Our informant says the political complexion of the county in the future is to be governed by what the government does. If the “ gang" has their way, it is to look bad for the Republicans, who no longer con­ trol the city or county. He says the business interests are in a fighting mood and propose to make the party in the state and nation suffer in the future in order to completely wipe out the present leadership. We are gradually reaching the stage in public affairs in state and nation where we will have to levy a special tax on some commodity to get funds to collect the many different kinds of taxes. It will be remembered that the campaign for classification was a promise that it would lead us into a “modern utophia” , where little or no additional taxes would be collected. Forty-seven different types of stories have been flaunted before the people as to what classification had accom­ plished and how little it cost to op­ erate. The legislature is now in ses­ sion and the sums asked by the State Tax Commission sounds like the fed­ eral budget some few years back be­ fore the era of plenty when money was found in the tree tops as well as on wire fences. It cost Ohio $635,000 for the year 1932 to operate the State Tax Commission. It cost Ohio $108,- 000 to collect the cigarette tax of $6,- 032,973. It cost $140,000 to collect the gasoline tax. Here is the meat of the tax situation as it applies direct­ ly to the classification tax. It cost $297,405 to collect $1,100,000 revenue from personal property listings. This does not include what it also cost each county in the state. Keep these figures in mind for most of the classification supporters never mention them. The depression would be greater than It is if it were not for the state system of tax collections. Many hundred would not have positions, traveling expenses, automobiles operated at state expense along with other things.

Piqua, Ohio expense of the state to collect the new taxes Everyone is watching with eagle- eye what Congress will do on the so- called farm relief measure that has settled down to an allotment plan foi wheat and cotton. There are many fanners that have no faith in it ana see nothing ahead but the creation of a lot of federal jobs for farm poli­ ticians. It is estimated that from 250,- 000 to 300,000 inspectors will be nec­ essary to enforce it as farmers will be compelled to cut down on wheat and cotton production to have a part in supposed new profits for their crop. It is the general opinion that the plan should be given a try-out, let the re suit be what it will. Everyone was disgusted at the federal farm board yet it still survives. Not much heard about it but the salary requirements are as heavy as when the board was in full swing. The allotment calls for a tax on wheat to be paid by millers and then passed on to the consumer Southern cotton planters want to try the new scheme but are fearful of the result. If cotton goods are to be tax­ ed the extra cost to the consumer means a smaller per cent of sales of cotton goods and the rayon industry will profit. A western writer speaking for the wheat grower raises a like question. He says he fears the. pro­ posed tax on flour will only increase the cost of bread to the consumer who now has a low purchasing power andj will turn from wheat product's to one or more substitutes. You cannot make people take what they do not want. Congress increased first class post­ age rates and the government lost more money under the higher rate -han under the lower.

In speaking of the purchasing pow- jr of the people today we heard of an incident recently concerning the in­ crease in the price of hogs last fall. Things began to look brighter when hogs went up but it was not long mi­ di the market broke, Packers are said to have lobt plenty of money on pork purchased at the then high price. Retail prices naturally went up and the consumption o f pork dropped for the laboring classes consume most of uhe pork and their purchasing power was so low they could not pay the in­ creased price. With this situation, it appears that we must get some- way to put men back to work. Manufac­ turers cannot meet competition on foreign made goods but that brings up the tariff—a debatable question.
