We often wonder why some one has not suggest­ ed another reduction in the-tax valuation of all real estate as a means of lifting part of the burden on property. The legislature has it in its power to curb the power of the state tax commission and place some responsibility on locally elected officials, that was delegated to the. Columbus board by the so-called classifi- Catl°As matters stand under classification almost every citizen has to buclde to the state board, unless it is the sanitary police­ man or the dog catcher. Our suggestion at this time is that if more attention is paid to getting the tax valuation reduced the quicked the property owner will get £he benefit of it. The average farm, home or business property is down for taxation at present for probably fifty per cent more than it will bring at public sale. It has been only a few short years since farm land and other kinds of real estate was selling at a much higher fig­ ure and the increases over the period of years were justified. It is a different story today for all property is selling at new low levels. Rents are down and income has dropped fully fifty per cent. To meet this situation why should not tax values be re duced again to bring about a more equitable valuation. Prop erty owners did not object seriously when values were shot up and they should again have the benefit of lower values more in keeping with present values, income and general business con­ ditions. ■ The legislature and some of our state leaders are burning mid-night oil to find something new to tax. Real estate ownert are discussing many subjects along tax lines that are (meaning­ less and will never be considered. Wild suggestions can be heard in any gathering but no one has taken the trouble to dis­ cuss or suggest lower tax valuations as a means of lightening the burden on real estate. Classificationists promised all but the millenium for property owners but instead all it has done was to legalize tax exemption for favored classes and provide hundreds of new jobs for political appointees. ■• Let’s drop some of our real and imiginary tax troubles in future discussions and concentrate on securing a lower tax val­ uation for real estate in Greene county. A new racket has been worked in a neighboring city that left a lot of people “ poorer but wiser," Some keen minded sharker to get ahead of the depression devised the idea of oi'ganizing a company, selling stock and manufacturing “medicated dough­ nuts.” After collecting several hun­ dred dollars the sharker disappeared leaving his Bick victims to cure their financial ills on his “ medicated dough­ nuts." atorium as Mr, A and over this issue the two broke relatione, Jf we were to cany the moratorium idea to the end and apply it to insurance com­ panies, it would take in the sixty mil­ lion people that largely own the in­ surance companies. Thus the morator­ ium can be made to touch the interest of millions o f people. The initials we have used have no connection with the names o f the two parties. While the Ohio State Tax Commis­ sion was hunting something new to tax and discovered postal savings ac­ counts, now comes the post office de­ partment with a statement that the law creating such a depository pro­ vides absolute secrecy and no provis­ ion for making known the names of depositors. This has balked the Tax Commission, which says that in caBe of death they must be listed and then comes the inheritance tax and other taxes with penalty. Thus it is “ taxes unto death.” MAN WITHOUT CREDIT IS OUT IN A COLD WORLD These are the days when most citizens are on tfie “ spot” , using a popular term. It is a time when it matters not what your politics has been or is. It is not a time when membership, in church or lodge, can be cashed in business affairs. We are liv­ ing as it were in a new world, when wq compare today with the past ten years. Each citizen in the business world or those who must depend on business for support are on the “ spot.” It has been forty years since requirements were as rigid and as hard to meet as we now find them. The situation is just the same in the largest city as in/the smallest community. i It matters not whether you are on the farm, in the store, factory, or just the ordinary laborer. The one essential thing today is GOOD CREDIT. There are many people that have re­ garded their credit as almost sacred,. for to have good credit we ' must bow not only to the principles of this Golden Rule but the teachings as found in the Good Book. One may have what he regards as ail that is necessary for good citizenship but without good credit he is lost and soon forgotten as the world moves to­ day. Going back no one can recall the time when the man that did not have good credit was able to carve a niche for himself in his community. You do not have to be rich or even well-to-do to have good credit. Meeting one’s obligations on time, or if unable to be fair and arrange for a time when they can be met. Dodging or even evasion is worse than admitting inability to pay and will do more to give you a bad credit rating than anything else. What you have to say and how you say it and where you say it only reflects on your individual credit. Credit is a thing that cannot be easily established but it is something than can he lost by an act or almost one word. What you have to say for or against your neighbor or attempt to do for your self or your neighbor, if it relates to business matters, you are only strengthening your individual credit or destroying it as the case may be. No time in the history of the present generation has good credit counted for more than it does today. ... We were greatly impressed several days ago when a local citizen remarked that the worst crime he had ever committed was when he “ abused his credit.” He now finds himself em- mished i« a financial tangle that he says is hopeless. You can have no guardian to maintain “ good credit” . It is a personal requirement for which each individual must be responsible. If you abuse it you will only find yourself in a cold World. WHAT JOHN WANAMAKER SAID— ,. Continuous advertising like continuous work is most effec­ tive. If there is any enterprise in the world that a quiter should leave severely alone it is advertising. Advertising does not jerk, it pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It increases day by day, year by year, until it exerts an irresistable power. To discontinue advertising is the same as taking down your sign. I f you want to do business, you must let the public know it. — John Wanamaker. P U B L I C S A L E !

Hugh Turnbull, Clerk (Codarville Herald P rin t) There is a vast-difference of opin­ ion over what results can be expected from the farm relief allotment plan that is now being considered by the legislature. The meat packers say the plan will make impossible cash hogs. Millers and retailers say it will fall of its own weight for increasing the price by a special tax, and then che adoption of a sales tax would add to the cost to consumers who now have a low purchasing power. Prof. J. T. Sanders, Oklahoma Agriculture college says it will be a “ grief meas­ ure.” Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer says the bill must be revised. As it stands it fav­ ors the large farmer and will not be of benefit to small farmers. One thing is certain no bill will ever be a suc­ cess without the united support of the farming interests. Some farm econ­ omists claim that the bill will result in increased crop production and that attempting to regulate the price will oring about, the same experience of che Federal Farm Board in wheat which has sold at low levels ever since che board started to function. What do you think of this, fifth cousins that were no relation be fore the election are now to gather on a palatial yacht in southern waters to either patch up family relations or for once and all time settle just what the actual relationship is in fifthB or other fractional relations. The Roose­ velts are going to put their feet under the table both the Republican and the democratic branches. Previous to the zlection the Teddy Roosevelt family of Republican leanage took the plat­ form against their “ fifth cousin", the Governor of New York. .Democratic, who ignored the spread of family re­ lationship lathe campaign. The land­ slide carried this Republican Roose­ velts with Hoover to the Bea and left Democratic Franklin Roosevelt on the Capitol hill a winner. Young Teddy R. has held a foreign post but under political rules muBt vacate unless “ Fifth Cousin" Franklin Roosevelt takes him under his wing. It is going to be interesting news to watch the family reunion of the Republican Roosevelts and the Democratic Roose­ velts. The country may yet witness a test as to whether “ blobd is thicker than water.” utes E. 90 feet to the N, E. corner being in the Creak at the N. W. cor­ ner of the' E, G.

Phgua, Ohio I Before the election there was much Doasting as to what had been accom­ plished by the government Recon jtruction Finance Corporation, to set .he depression back a few notches. Judging from some editorial comment <ve find in numerous Republican pa­ pers, the R. F. C. has not accomplish' ed much for the individual. All admit million dollars loans to million dollar banks have not aided small banks. The million dollar loans to million dollar in most cases not been used for the purpose granted. These papers now discover that million dollar public fed­ eral buildings are to be a burden rath­ er than a relief to all of the people. Since the publication of those having been granted loans and the amounts the press as well as public has been making a survey for results. The re­ sult has been disappointing and most of the papers commenting urge the abandoning of the R. F. C. along with the Federal Farm Board. On .the otherhand as we scan the in­ surance company statements we find these' institutions have many millions of R. F. C. money. Insurance com­ panies have been put to a rigid test by the depression. Railroad stocks and. bonds they own have dropped in market to almost nothing. Farm loans have resulted in foreclosure and the companies have had to take over many thousands of acres, all of which is a greater asset today than rail and most industrial stocks. Sixty million citi­ zens in this country carry life insur­ ance. Hundreds of thousands have had to borrow or draw on these earn­ ings. Had it not been for insurance benefits the bread lines in most cities would have no end. We believe the insurance companies have done more to date for the greatest number of people than has Uncle Sam, who has been pillored about by selfish politi­ cians who thought they could make possible for big business to weather the storm at the expense of the lit­ tle fellow. i When should moratoriums on farm loans begin and end ? If a story that reaches us this week is correct two Greene county farmers could not a- gree. One was outspoken for farm moratoriums on everything—except what was owed him, so the story goes. It Would be much out of place to Use the names for the differences between the two became so heated an insur­ ance company that held a mortgage on land owned by Mr. A was given a certain tip by Mr, B. In a few days a representative of the insurance com­ pany called on Mr. A who was back on payments as well as interest. Just what took place is not known but we learn that all line of communica­ tion between the two once friends is now severed. It all came about be­ cause Mr. B could not pay a small bill of about $65 for some seed wheat, feed a little fertilizer and "service" a term well understood iti farming circles. Mr. A while strong for all morator­ iums, except private, wanted the $65 duo him from Mr. B to pay on his taxes. Mr. B admitted owing the $65 but could not pay last week and then felt he was as much entitled to a mor- Rep. Hall from Guernsey county is a Methodist minister serving a second term in the Ohio House. He has in­ troduced a bill reducing loan shark in­ terest from 3 per cent a month to one and one-half per cent. He reported he was offered $1,000 to withdraw the bill or “ forget it” , so the story goes. The lobby element got. busy quick but the minister waited too many days before openly stating what had taken place. He is said to have named the man who made the offer and the Guernsey pros­ ecutor has the case. The lobby has a way of taking care of socalled bribery cases. Very few such acts ever get public notice. The next thing the minister knows he will be taken for a •‘ride” by the lobby far different than what A1 Capone’s followers use. The minister should have laid a trap and set watch with a shot 'gun. As mat­ ters stand now the minister is licked. The lobby element knows how to han­ dle such cases. in speaking of lobbyists we see where 88 members'o f the “Third House" are registered with the Secretary of State' In scanning the list Congress­ man-elect Marshall’s political god­ father, D. C. {Pemberton is listed fs a lobbyist for the railroads. Pemberton cor years represented the saloon in­ terests from Cincinnati about the leg­ islature. This means the railroads are to have a faithful friend in Con­ gress when Pemberton’s protege dones his "split- tail, spats and high hat" and hikes o ff for Washington, D. C., after March 4th. Farmers have been claiming that high freight rates are affecting farm income. We are going to sit on the fence and watah results and what influence a $30,000 a year lobbyist can exert. 1 secured by a first mortgage upon the premises sold; or ail cash at the op­ tion of the purchaser.
