A HISTORY MAKING WEEK gasoline taxes. It has been proposed ;o reduce rates in Ohio from $7 to $35 to $5 to $20. Other states are expect­ ed to make even greater reductions. The parallel of the lives o f Presi­ dent Franklin Roosevelt and that of the late Theodore Roosevelt has been uncovered by some historian. Both are the seventh in descent from Klas Martensen van Roosevelt; both were Harvard graduates; both graduates of Columbian Law School; both mem­ bers o f the New York legislature; both Assistant Secretaries , o f the Navy; both resigned from that office; both Governor of New York; both can* ddates for vice president; each was shot at by a maniac; and both becapje President of the United States. “ Princess Alice", now Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of the late Theodore Roosevelt and wife of the late Nicholas Longworth, who as Republican opposed the election of her cousin, Franklin, last November, at tho Post Offte*.

What has taken place since last week will be read by future generations with as much interest. , It is not often that the crisis of a panic or depression gets into its lowest stage just at the change of an administration. For about three years our banging system has been given a severe test only to reach the breaking point at the close of an out-go­ ing administration. During our more prosperous days we had no time to consider the more serious problems of the nation, es­ pecially those affecting our banking system, which we thought was the greatest, the most secure and the solidist in the world. The breaking point came when two large banks in Detroit became involved in a fight among financieers that reached into Wall Street, Civic and business leaders pleaded for days with Henry Ford to come to the aid of the banks to save the city. He had no desire to engage in the banking business but gave in to pleadings and put up several million, only to find the Wall Street bankers in control of his money put up to save local in­ stitutions. The Wall Street bankers having their hand on the government in Washington endeavored to push through their plan before the close of a dying administration, but there was a slip and the great city of Detroit lost all confidence in seeing financial conditions improved. A feverish condition developed that soon spread to northern Ohio cities and gradually over the st&tc* ■ An excited populace without asking as to the solvency of banks began a heavy withdrawal and resorted to hoarding, a system that will break not only one institution but everyone. It was only another day orjso until state legislatures were enact­ ing emergency legislation to protect banks. Nearly every state in the union joined the procession to grant protection to banks. It was not until heavy withdrawals hit Chicago and New York banks that official Washington took' notice. Wall Street bank­ ers fled to Washington on Friday to urge government protec­ tion of President Hoover but he declined to interfere in that he had less than 24 hours to .serve and the public was in no receptive state of mind to accept unusual action on his part. At one o’clock Sunday morning the new executive, President Hoov­ er, under war-time legislation of 1917 giving a president certain powers issued a proclamation that closed every bank and finan­ cial institution in the country until Friday morning, unless mod­ ified sooner. Regardless of the fact such an act was unusual the whole nation gave approval of the President’s act and the banks were saved. The President’s address at the inauguration on Saturday gave assurance that he would demand immediate action in be­ half of the people and the banks. Conferences during the week developed ahplan for congressional action that is expected to . lead to government-guarantee of deposits and stricter contro over banks.' Thus a whole nation has suffered inconvenience loss of business, thousands thrown out of employment, all be­ cause Wall Street interests wanted to get control of Detror banks to crush Henry Ford. The public gave no consideration as to the soundness of a • b a n k but joined the ranks of the hysterical thait had been in­ fluenced by what had happened in another city. The exper ience o f the week should convince all how dependent one com munity is upon another which is summed up as follows by the Troy, O., Daily News: “ The lesson remains that the welfare of this community is affected by the welfare of every other community. Just so is the happiness and progress of any people tied up to a greater or less degree with the well being of other peoples of this rapidly shrinking globe. Progress toward the goal of mankind’s great­ er happiness and growth will come only as all peoples increas­ ingly realize that suffering and want and frustration in any part of this world are the concern of all.’ ’ Some week* ago Ralph Wolford bid in an old carpenter tool chest at a pub­ lic sale. When he investigated some of the compartments he found two old time ballots, one for county primary and one each fpr Cedarville village and township.

Rep. C. H.

He says the saving would be $5,000,000.

Mrs. Longworth was married from the Whitehouse while her father was president. It will be a long time before Ohio builds another $6,000,000 temple to house its office holders. The building ;vas not needed but Columbus inter­ ests that owned or had options on the site campaigned for the structure to unload on the state at a big profit. It was not popular three years ago to advocate the abolishing of scores ol Ohio boards and commissions to re luce the cost of state government. It s now revealed as the building is a- oout ready for occupancy that lavish expenditure of public funds has been ndulged in. Desks cost $356.40 each; easy chairs at $142.50; 40 cuspidors it $55 each; gold-plated waste bask Jts at $20 each. The problem rtow is finding room for all the state boards Grindle, Wiley Kennon, J.

During the mad rush to withdraw funds' from banks that swept over the country the past week a Brooklyn N. Y. lady had a sorrowful experience. She.asked for her deposit amountingister may have g jven to $10,800. The currency was counted out to her and she stuffed the money in a shopping bag and started homeJ When only a few feet from the bank door a hold-tip man snatched the bag from her hands and disappeared down a nearby alley before she could iden­ tify the thief. Her life-time saving disappeared.

Walsh last week was a great loss to the nation. His death too came just at a time when he was to become attorney general of the United States. The people in the nation had great confidence in his a- bility, his courage, and his tenacity and outstanding honesty, as proven when he conducted the investigation into the famous oil scandals that stirred the. whole country. Senator Walsh was not only a learned.lawyer but(a high- minded statesman, not always following his party leaders on constitutional or economic problem^. With his quiet disposi­ tion he hud no aspirations tp keep himself out in front. For this reason he was not regarded as a very strong leader in his party but when he gave, an opinion on a proposed law leaders in both political parties gave him attention. By the vacancy the task facing an attorney general now may go unfinished for a time but someone will be found that can undertake the work necessary to uncover wrong-doing in government departments that has. eaten like a cancer into the public treasury. In many quarters men sleep more natural fol­ lowing Walsh’s death knowing that when his eyes Closed he took with him much of What was necessary to bring wrong do­ ers to justice. Had Walsh lived it was certain he had plans to uncover corruption in maiiy- government contracts especially sites for post offices, contracts for government buildings, contracts with railroads and steamship companies for hauling mail; corruption in the R. F. C. loans, and especially among appointees under the department of justice that had connection with prohibition en­ forcement. It is more to be regretted that Walsh, has not lived to uncover the Detroit bank failures in which Wall Street bank­ ers figured along with high officials of the out-going administra­ tion. Certainly another Walsh can be found. This nation can not afford to let these matters go by default. The “ Ohio gang” that ruined and disgraced the Harding administration and by betrayal broke the heart o f the late Warren G. were incompe­ tent as wreckers in comparison with the gang that kept Presi­ dent Hoover blindfolded while the nation was plundered right and left. GOVERNMENT WILL NOT ISSUE SCRIPT In most quarters it was assuring news that the neiw admin­ istration would not back the issuance of script during the pres­ ent financial difficulty. Script could at bast be only a temporary method o f tiding over a situation that in the end would be a sedative and not a permanent cure. Anyother form of script issued could not have an exchange value over a wide territory. Regardless of the situation, as disturbing as it is to business, we might as well adopt ourselves and be half-way content until the government works out a plan that will be accepted and the pub- lie convinced nothing but sound money will be issued. • The last time script was used was back in 1907 during the panic when there was less money in circulation that we have to­ day. As a result o f that panic we had the formation of what is ' now known as the Reserve Bank system, legislation not becom­ ing, affective until some years later. In 1907 there was a corner on money by New York banks. “ Teddy” Roosevelt was presi­ dent and it was he who first used the “ Big Stick” on New York banking interests and money soon began to flow into the banks over the country. Money is often referred to as “ the root of all evil” and yet a whole nation gets excited when people think they will not have a chance to be exposed to it. Someone has figured that it will cost the state more for upkeep of the new building that rent was costing. Ohio nowever has nothing on the federal government where million dollar ed­ ifices have been wrecked to make way for new buildings to conform with the modern tendency o f architecture. The old Congress evermindful ol what is necessary fo r Congressmen provided the item o f $8,000 to con tintic the House barbershop for free shaves and haircuts. A radio news re­ porter several days ago approved of this expense at the cost o f the tax payers because the members should be cleanly shaven otherwise when vis itors dropped in they might get the impression they were not in a legis lative branch o f the government but “ in the House Of David.” The Ohio State Conservation de # a partment is going to give us a new breed of rabbits, much better than the common cottontail that roams fields and woods. “ Blue-blooded” rabbits have been raised at the State Rabbit farm near Milan and 1800 will be let out soon. ’ Then will come another breed that is unknown for the com­ mon rabbit is to be crossed with the chinchillas and jack-rabbits known in Kansas. New strains wili be devel­ oped that will be much larger and have a higher market value. iraw, was handed her $800 by the tel­ ler and after putting the money in the purse, all of a sudden was siezed with, .he thought expressed: “What will I Jo with this money tonight?” She was advised to take it on home and think over it. Placing it under a eushion on a comfortable chair, the woman did aot retire that night but sat on the chair' throughout the night. The men­ ial strain experienced over the week living in fear that some harm would jefall her could be no worse than if .he bank closed its doors never to jpen. And the bank was perfectly sol­ vent and will ' continue in business. The public is gradually getting wise to the gtivemment method- o f doing business under the late lamented ad­ ministration that has passed out. Over in Springfield is*a firm that, is one of the oldest firms in the country making steel sash for public buildings. A new post office is in the making, basement walls having been placed months ago. Since the contract was let it has been discovered the specifications called for aluminum window, frames. In as much as Andrew Mellon, one o f the wheel-, horses o f the past administration con-j trols the world market for aluminum* it is easy to see why steel window j frames were not at least optional. Iti would be a wise step for congress to j nullify such contracts before work is! started.

EACH "WHEbi BOUGHT . IN PAIRS Supreme Court put the The Ohio final touches a few Idays ago on the distributive feature o f the classifica­ tion tax law in Ohio. The court had once passed on the law and held that feature unconstitutional. The state through the Attorney General asked for a rehearing but it. was denied. It mattered not what the court held for it is evident the people do not favor the law on general principal. Ohio as a result has nothing, to show in the way o f results except defaulted bonds, unpaid bills and several hundred high salaried political office holders that se­ cured places on the state pay roll as a result o f classification. Secretary of State George S. Myers, gives out an interesting statement for 1 I"No More Taxes and no More Laws.” |He suggests that the legislature pass the appropriation bills and go home. In addition he says there is no use passing nonsensical and useless laws like legalizing race horse gambling, |the purchase o f $55 cuspidors, the es- i tablishment of a million dollar state police system, ripper legislation or a bill making legal a favorite list of |contractors that will foster wholesale corruption in the Highway Depart­ ment when half o f the people doii’t know whether they are going to eat.

Thousands of Americans became panic, in the midst of the famous depression, and with­ drew their money and deposited it in the Canadian institutions. The Detroit News says business over the line in creased from 200 to 400 per cent. The Canadian banks could not fill the re quests for safely deposit boxes. The Canadian bankers could not be fooled for when the Americans walked up to the window to make a deposit they were informed Uncle Sam’s money would be kept separate and they could only draw on the U. S. legal tender. If the American dollar goes down in value the loss will be oh the depositor and not the Canadian bank. In the meantime Uncle Sam may make it hard for disloyal Americans to get The Secretary o f State issues a new order for his own department that the employees o f his office when out in the state on business must pay for their own meals or carry a dinner bucket.
