Last year about 12 million dollars were sent to the 83 counties. The suggestion of the oil arid gasoline people is not new. Retail interests have discussed a change in the law as to time of getting new li­ cense plates. Some say June arid July would be ideal monthsattd in this way holiday business would not be affected. \gain more automobile owners would have ready money during the months mentioned. To change the date would o f course cause confusion and check highway and construction work until the readjustment could be made. As the law stands owners o f autos are not compelled to purchase tags in the month of December. In fact by wait­ ing three months they save one fourth o f the cost ot t*g*, but the auto must not be taken onto, the highway without new tags. plus of dairy inspection, all of which has a relation to the price of milk and the consumer in the city is told that milk cannot bo sold much cheaper due to inspection-costs. A farmer cannot kill a hog and sell the meat in most cities without paying a fee for a city inspection. Then we have’ the plumb­ ing inspection that is unnecessary and only a burden to the property owner. Must of these mentioned have been authorized by states and cities. The federal government has thousands o f inspectors on as many unnecessary jobs. The manufacturer is troubled with inspectors from the bookkeeping department to the boiler room. We even have federal inspectors that in­ spect the permits issued by the gov­ ernment to physicians to write pre­ scriptions for liquor. There are nu­ merous inspections that are we thiflk really necessary, those that relate to fire hnzzards and inspection of pub­ lic water supply. We do not want to leave the impression. that all these inspections should ,ba discontinued but it is all overdone .and if the enormous cost is not met by the individual or corporations, it must be paid by the taxpayer, and in most instances it is charged directly to the consumer. public, as the case may be. to the diner’s tables bearing little flags showing the country o’ their origin. And woe to the unpatriotic Briton who sneaks a cut of camembert to his plate instead of the sturdier stilton witl its unimpeachable, if slightly smelly ancestry. If this had hap pened ill America the" British press jand some of our’own con­ genital knockers of America would have hailed it as another example of American infantilism. The people of the United States are not a unit in opposing the drives on their trade, their markets and the just debts owed to them. We have with us tonight the front-page publicists, o- more accurately, publicity seekers, who give, away a slice of th( United States whenever they are invited to speak before a Brit ish audience. We have some others who, for a fancied trade ad vantage in Europe, would let the devil take the hindmost of ou industries. W'e'Nhave a social element who would wipe out the war debts in exchange for 3,11 invitation to dine with a duches or to week-end with a lord. And then there are our sugar-plun internationalists who believe that all God’s chillen got wings es cept their fellow Americans. They are right about us, but they are .wrong about the res of the world All God’s children have a dash of the spiritual ir their materialism and at times rise above the earth. The las time we tried it in a big international way was during th World War, and our wings were dragged in the mud at the Ver sailles Conference. Undoubtedly, Europe would again hail ur as an idealist and spiritual nation if we turned one cheek to can­ cellation of the war debts and the other to cancellation of the private debts. Only as a Ghandi; among the nations, strippe< down to a loin cloth, could we please our critics and meet tht spiritual tests that they have set for us. The vulgarity, the ma terialistic significance of the dollar disappear when it is chang­ ed into pounds, francs and marks. Only then do its spiritua values appear. On the other hand, if America would wake up, present t are thousands of acres o f land not the best for grain crops that are planted in evergreens growing for not only the Christmas tree market but for landscaping as well. Both state and federal departments have urged this course. It has given landowners .an income and this income would not be possible likely were it not for the mar­ ket to be found at Christmas time. How many Ohioans know that the much desired Mistletoe can be fowri in a few counties in this state ? While* it is a native of southern states it has been found in Adams, Brown, Ross Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs and Athens counties. The white, glutinous berries of mistletoe are carried from tree to ;ree by clinging to the feet of birds and squirrels, and is .spread in this manner.

Export trade if good if we can get it on the right basis, but not on the old termr where we loaned our customers the money to buy our goods anc then held the bag, or on any terms under, which Europe main tains her high tariffs and low quotas for us. In our forty-eight states we have the world's biggest and best market. More im porting and exporting between these states is indicated. In* tensive cultivation of this fertile ground will yield returns that we can never get from stonier fields in foreign lands. We support the liners of England, France, Italy and Ger- many. But^today we have the beginnings of a fine Americar , , , transatlantic line, and with real encouragement from American things might help m the economy travelers— the same kind of encouragement that the nationals ” “v>“ of other countries give to their ships— we could soon have a fleet eff the finest and fastest steamships in the world. When British travel, they go British, the Germans go German, the Italians go Italian, and on the rare occasions when they do trav­ el, the French ga French. But it is the Americans who do the real traveling and support all these trans-Atlantic liners, When a European comes over here, it is usually with a crowbar to pry something loose. In summer, our tourists flood Europe, buy from the shop­ keepers of England and the Continent, are dressed in Paris and •pile up a huge dollar balance abroad. In winter they are in A f­ rica and on the Riviera, spending in luxury hotels and shops, cruising about the Mediterraneanor around the world in foreign steamers. An interesting, report on business conditions was given out Tuesday by Leonard P. Ayres, nationally promi­ nent economist for one of the largest banking institution*; in Cleveland. He says: “ The w«y to recovery is not per­ manently blocked, hut it is seriously obstructed, and is likely to remain so until the federal government removes some of the barriers wth which it a-j’ lone can deal; The tariff policy; the settlement of war debts, balancing of the federal budget, and the maintance of sound money- are fundamentally important that each or any of them night well prove to be controlling factors in the outcome.” Such state­ ment relative to tariff change -may be a-bit disturbhig'to some o f our Repub­ lican campaign orators. Business can take care o f itself'how. Politicans are more interested in it as an issue than the good or bad effects it may have on business. Now when the public learns that more goods come Into this count- |.ry free than under tariff duty, most all "the campaign speeches from the Republican standpoint, must be for­ gotten. j VIAVI I |, *A Family Remedy for do- I I mestic administration.

Most of our economic ills have come out of Washington and from Wall Street Wo have never yet told France to pay, their telling us they wonT, It lias developed that President Hoover was not the first presidential candidate to use the expression about grass growing in the streets. It ap­ pears the President must have review­ ed the famous “ Cross of Gold” speech delivered years ago by William Jen­ nings Bryan, then a Democratic can­ didate in the famous 16 to 1 campaign, Bryan said: “Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets o f every city in the country.” President.lloover in one o f his campaign speeches used a similar expression, and historians now find it originated with Bryan in the McKinley campaign, While the weatherman set a new record or rather a new style for real happen often in any generation, the charge against President Herbert Hoover with “High Grimes and Misdemeanors” and impeachment proceedings suggested. Such was the charge of Congressman McFadden, Republican,.from Pennsylvania. Me Faddgn charged •the President with violation of the constitution and laws in connection with the German mora­ torium, “ to defeat and injure the gov­ ernment and the people of the United! States.” Back in July, 1931, McFad-j den, long a prominent Republican con­ gressman gained prominence by his; bitter attack against the administra-j tion for the moratorium. The Repub-! ,lican machine in Pennsylvania with! all the federal and administration; power through patronage, endeavor­ ed to defeat McFadden by the election of his Democratic opponent, but he Won easily. No doubt his impeach­ ment resolution Tuesday was more toj rebuke the President for what had happened at the polls. Congress by an almost unanimous vote, not on party lihes, sent the resolution to a peaceful death by “ tabling it.” The Republican leaders in Wash­ ington are so much “ up in the air” and divided among themselves, that one can hardly keep up with reports as to what they will or will not do in the closing days o f the administration. At first there were to he no Republi­ can nominations go before the Senate as that body was Democratic. A few days ago a rather long list was sent in by President Hoover. Tuesday the name of Postmaster Frazer went into the pot for another term. What the Democratic Senate will do, no one at this time can tell. Reports have been circulated in Democratic territory that all such confirmations would be turn ed down or held up Until after March 4th. The Republican Senate did this very thing the last three, months of the Wilson administration, proceeding the inaugucration o f President Hard­ ing. Now the Democrats say they must give the Republicans a dose of their own medicine. Some Democratic Senators want to turn down confirma­ tion even of Democrats who had been named by President Hoover for some of his various commissions. This hits directly at former Senator Pomerone, who is head o f the Reconstruction Fi­ nance Corporation, GUM-DIPPED CORDS Tha Ftretfon*patented Gum-1 . ping procMi transformsthe cotton cords into a strong, tough, sinewy uni t.
