FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1933 TO TINKER OR NOT TO TINKER W ITH TARIFF One point in the Roosevelt program is the tariff, and what to do with it. A previous administration placed duties on a scale that resulted in foreign countries taking up the same idea and this resulted in a wall being erected against American made goods. It was the first time in the history o f this nation that foreign countries retaliated in such a manner. We have always supported the idea o f tariff, not only fo r protection to our labor but capital invested as well. In the past a tariff was necessary to protect farm products and the live stock industry. Under our present tariff law wheat is charged 42 cents a bushel, and yet wheat has sold most o f the past year fo r less than what the tariff rate has been. -Certain ixxterests in recent years have profited to a very large extent by the present tariff, while farm products and many manufactured lines have suffered. In the total it has not worked to the advantage o f the country, . It has been our theory that the tariff o f the future must be reciprocal between nations. W e must purchase some things abroad, and foreign nations should buy in this country, Re­ ciprocity, founded on an equal basis, could harm neither o f any two countx’ies that adopted it. With this country on the gold standard and most o f the wor^d on silver, the exchange value has completely upset our present tai'iff rates, in fa c t foreign nations can pay the tariff on goods exported to us and yet undersell our manufacturers on our present low scale o f labor. Consequently foreign goods pour into this country while our goods are shut out by the foreign tariffs. The whole situation is new to this nation and fo r that reason the old argument fo r or against tariffs are out o f date. Monetary standards now rule the markets but the fa c t remains that American' labor is idle due to the high tariff o f foreign nations. STATE FORESTS IN SOUTHERN OHIO . Perhaps the best1 and most reliable land in Ohio lies between the two Miamis and in the valley country immediately east o f the one and west o f the other. A trip in this favored region during the wheat harvest is a revelation o f prodigal fertility, Neighbor to it, however, and still in the southern part of the State, is the least productive land o f the common­ wealth. Hex’e are the true hills o f Ohio, on which great beech forests once stood. Their thin soils were hospitable to trees, but not to the agriculture that came in after the cutting o f the virgin growth. In this, slanting region erosion has wrought havoc to a degree which the more level lands o f northern Ohio escaped. This is the proper seat fo r the State forest domain, on which, indeed, a beginning has been made. Plans for the President’s .forestry conservation corps provide that 15,000 young men will be set .to work in tasks o f tree-thinning, clear­ ing o f debris, treerplanting, construction>of roads, trail and fire-breaks, building o f fire towers and telephone lines, and eradication o f tree diseases in the follow ing counties: Adams, Scioto, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Hocking, Vinton, Athens, Greene* Summit and Portage. The two last named are'in-the Western Reserve. All the rest lie in a fairly compact mast, in southern Ohio. When the temporary work undex*taken b> the Federal Government is concluded, the State should take it up and carry on. There is plenty of. marginal land that should go back to forest. . — Cincinnati Times Star. CONFERENCE AMONG FOREIGN POWERS The proposal o f President Roosevelt and Premier Mac Doald fox' a conference o f foreign powers to iron out inter­ national difference, may and .may not result in anything worthwhile. Dealing with foreign nations according to our experience in the past, has not been very satisfactory. No doubt one of the objects is to get some control or regulation over Russia. England and Russia are now involved over a trial o f sub jects o f the former on aj charge o f sabotage. It is very likely Russia will find a verdict o f guilt in the kind o f a coui't hearing the charges. Poland is facing possible invasion by Germany, France lives in daily fear o f Hitler and his followers. Italy has none to warm a friendship fo r France and Japan and China have been' at each others throats fo r some month's. In this country recognition o f Russia is looked upon with disfavor. Our people do -n o t like the kind government now in force. Her views on l'elxgion are very distasteful but the main thing, American business is divided on Russian recogni tion. Some manufacturers hope to get part o f the Russian business. Ali*eady we have business relations With Russia. International bankers in New York control corporations, now doing business with- Russia. One corporation imports, another sells our products abroad. One o f our big oil com panxes impoi*ts several million gallons o f gasoline each month at a price much lower than it can be made in this country. The proposed conference will be watched with interest. It might also be well to keep tab on the pqsition the Wa ll Street bankers take in the coming meet. “ What, No B eer? ” was a clever piece o f picture show propaganda. Yet, locally we f re in the desert. Create your own opportunity— prosperity will not come by legislation. Coal at the mines as low at seventy-five cents a ton and two aiid three, dollars freight, indicates the $100,000 salaries o f railroad presidents are yet safe. Over in Michigan ninety-nine wet delegates and~one dry constitute the make-up o f the convention to ratify the federal repeal o f the Eighteenth Amendment. The thii’ty-hour work week may not be as popular as might be expected. How can labor be contented when the pay check is figured by the hour instead o f the day basis? Dr. Skinner may have the right idea when he suggests raising the minimum school entrance age from six to seven years but it is our belief most children at the age o f six are better off in schdol. * There may be many investigations as to the cause o f the ill fate o f the Akron that cost seventy-three lives but we doubt the exact cause will ever be known. The elements have blotted out whatever weakness there was in the construction o f the air vessel. The lesson is that man has not yet been able to harness the elements in all cases, and probably never will succeed. TALE S OF THE CHIEFS 'Ey Editha L. Watson SITTING BULL I ■with town people. The worst feature o f the repayment is that it is a “ racket" whereby a seif perpetuating organization is to collect the fees. •* Sitting Bull Col. Herbert Mengert o f the Cincinnati Enquirer pays a clever compliment to cunning “ D ” Pemberton as a “ railroad . lobbyist.” In as much as “ D” had much to say .as to who should represent the Seventh District in Congress, we may assume the railroads have a friend at court. Could it be possible the Congressman’s week-end trips home are gratuitous? George Bernard Shaw, noted English writer, visits this country fox* the first time. He is one o f the few foreign visitors that does not hand out. sugar-coated praise to get Amei’iean applause. He does admit that America must lead the way among the world powers. He only let our news reporters know what he wanted them to know. Probably no Indian is more widely known than Sitting Bull, and certain­ ly no Indian has had as many conflicting stories told about him. In turn we find him called a hero, a cow­ ard, a politician, an old scallawag, and the finest type of In­ dian. The times In which he lived have given him some of these names, t h e changed values of a later day, others. Perhaps he was all of these. One thing Is certain, he was colorful. The year of his birth In South Da­ kota, 1834, is almost a hundred years ago. South Dakota was a wUd coun­ try then, Inhabited by Sioux, who fought the other plains tribes Inces­ santly. The Shoshonl and tlie Crows knew the valor of this tribe, and ns time went on, young Sitting Bull be­ came noted far and near as a warrior of the Sioux. • Certainly, his youth was not-that of a coward. He distinguished him- self in hunting buffalo calves at the age of ten, and at fourteen he had gone /with his father on the warpath and counted his first coup. Coups are counted In three ways; killing an enemy, scalping an enemy, or being the first to strike an enemy. Considering the ferocity of Indian warfare, it must be granted that it was a brave lad who counted coup at the age ,of fourteen. As he-grew older, Sitting Bull was often consulted in the role of peace­ maker. He, a leader in war, was also foremost in,peace; but this did- not extend to the white men. For 'them, Sitting Bull always had a sense of disdain and hatred. It shows in his pictures, glaring out from his Indian eyes; It showed most—and alwnys—in his life. His -first important engagement against the whites-was at Fort Buford in 1866. The next three years found Indians from various tribes flocking to his.standard. Then came seven years on the warpath, when the band was never at a loss for a fight; there were frontier posts to swoop upon, Shoshonl to battle with, or Crows to raid. ■ Then the seven years of joyous warfare came to an end. The govern­ ment stepped in. This was no longer an Indian land, where the red man might, do os he liked. Peace was the word of the day, and peaceful In­ dians went on reservations and be­ haved themselves. . Yes, but Sitting Bull was not a peaceful Indian!. The battle on the Little Bighorn, where Custer and his men fell, Is of course the most famous engage­ ment In which Sitting Bull Is named, Here one may always start an argu­ ment about him. Was he a coward? He is said to have fled with the women and children on that eventful day. Or was he the mighty medicine man who stayed in the hills and prayed for his people, although his heart Inclined to the thick of battle? Who can tell? Gall and John Grass fought bravely, trained in the same school which had taught Sitting Bull the lessons of war. Mahy other Indian warriors fought bravely also. Is It belleveable that he, who had spent the last ten years on the warpath, had fled from this hand­ ful of white men—especially when he had already predicted the Indian vlc-« „tory? But with General Miles hot on his heels afterwards, no one can blame him for escaping Into Canada. Gen­ eral Miles was another sort of enemy, with an nnefinny manner of achieving his ends In the face of all sorts of opposition. The year 1881 saw the return of Sit­ ting Bull to his own country. He had been promised amnesty, and surren­ dered at Fort Buford, where, 15 years before,, he had made his first great fight against the whites. It Is almost Impossible, In describ­ ing the Sioux leader at this time of his life, to avoid using tlie expres­ sion, “a caged eagle.” It so exact­ ly fits him. His fighting heart was not tamed, even If his power was limited. Was this a martyr who urged hls people not to yield to the white men, a prophet who foresaw the fall of hls race, or nn old scalla­ wag with nn Insatiable desire to make trouble? The truth, no doubt, lies somewhere In between. There Is something a little sad In Sitting Bull’s death, The chief was of more than middle age; hls eloquent opposition was hls only effective weap­ on against the whites. Two troops of cavalry with two Hotchkiss guns, and 43 trained Indian police, were sent at night to take him. They woke him where he slept, and told him to go with them, and blttcr-henrt that he was, he berated them ns he made his preparations. He was shot ns he went out with hls captors. Fearful that hls followers might effect a rescue, the Indian po­ liceman at his side killed him, In front of his people who hnd crowded around to save him. Killed by men of his own race, Sitting Bull died as lie had lived, hating and despising the white men and their wnys to the last. (©, 1932, Wc.ltern NowupaporUnion.) Farmers are about convinced that the manner in which the corn, and hog markets have operated the past ten days shows the hand of manipulation on the part o f some one. Corn has continued a steady climb while hogs go up and down. The spread between the two does not harmonize and is mu.ch out o f line. Wheat continues to better than hold its own and there are many that predict at least seven­ ty-five cent wheat to the farmer this harvest. The farmer market for corn at public sales is now from forty to fifty cents. a aE S saB B au ti The State Bank department on Monday named 66 conservators for state banking institutions and on Wednesday 21 more were added to .he list.

The success of the Miapri Conserv­ ancy was demonstrated to the country during the recent high water and cities in the Miami Valley had little or no damage while in the Scioto,- Hocking and Muskingum valleys there was much damage, Arthur E. Morgan bus made a suggested plan of river dams to President Roosevelt for flood control.. Sue!, u plan would have to huvo government financial aid. The Miami Valley syBtem is be­ ing paid by direct taxation on real estate benefited and during such times is more or less o f a burden when added to ordinary taxes. The - recent disturbance in financial circles and the bank holiday soon forced public attention towards some kind o f guarantee for bank deposits. This subject has been under discussion in the past but never from a national standpoint'. Some few states have tried out one form or another but it has never been a success, In. one state where a plan was put in force there were more bank failures than, ever and the state came near going broke. The banks themselves cannot carry all the responsibility, nor can tlie state or federal government. There must be a plan worked out whereby the hanks must take part o f the load to keep them all in the line of safe j banking business. It is now suggest­ ed, and we think a feasable plan, for the government to underwrite one third, the Federal Reserve banks, one j third and the. individual banks, mem- j bers o f the Federal Reserve, the other third. This plan in some form will likely go before Congress soon. Banks that are not members o f the Federal Reserve would not share in the plan for guaranteed deposits. For a long time there has been a feeling that all banks, national, state and private, should he members o f the Federal Re­ serve. ' Reports out o f Columbus indicate the joint taxation committee o f the legislature that is to consider revenue measures during the recess has be­ come dead-locked over the selection o f a chairman. The Republicans are demanding the chairmanship in as much as the Democrats have tliei chairmanship o f the committee con-j sidering school legislation.^ Gov,! White in his campaign insisted on “ No j more new taxes,” hut indentions are] that not enough economy will be en­ forced to make this possible. Gov. McNutt, Democrat, Indiana, has re­ reduced 168 boards and commissions to eight* with a saving to the state o f several million dollars. President Roosevelt is doing likewise. Gov. White has the opportunity, will he do likewise ? There has been an old rule for this section that oats should he sown in March to insure a good crop. Out­ side o f a few days late in February there has been little opportunity of getting out the crop owing to con­ tinued rains. Now we are nearing the middle o f April and only a few have been able to do oat seeding. NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate of G. W. Cregwcll, Deceased. J. A, Finney lias been appointed and qualified as Administrator o f the es­ tate o f G. W. Creswell* late o f Greene County, Ohio, deceased. Dated this 27th day of January 1033 S. C. WRIGHT, Probate Judge o f said County. A peculiar situation has developed about the legislature in this state. The so-called Mort plan provides for support o f the public Schools o f the state. Supporters say it will lift the burden on real estate, but there' is nothing written in the bill to give real estate this protection. Until real estate is protected the public should keep a close eye on the Mort bill. It is in a dangerous position. The trading season among interests is now on with the adjournment date not so many weeks away. The public should be skeptical about radio claims for relief from highway assessments, for the same leaders in most cases advocating this relief are urging the adoption o f the Mort plan. The Mort plan leaders now have a fondness for the highway relief bill. One group is telling a few land owners they will get them a refund, while the other group is after more money at the ex­ pense o f the landowner. The Mort bill provides no protection for real estate. We are of the opinion that some serious consideration should be given the proposition of refunders for high­ way assessments on farm land out of gasoline taxes, and town or city prop­ erty on state highways get no recogni­ tion. The Ohio Supreme Court just recently passed on a part o f the classi­ fication tax law and held it unconstitu­ tional. If the plan proposed for re­ bate is not class legislation at the expense o f the rest of) tlie state, we do not know what it could bo called.
