WHITE CHANGES HIS MIND FOR NEW TAXES I Democrats, as well as Republicans, took Gov. George White » at his campaign pledge, “No more new taxes.” Votens felt that 1 he had made an endeavor during his first term to bring the state within its revenue and for this reason his pleasant sounding and attractive pledge gave him one of the largest majorities ever cast for a candidate for governor in this state. His proposal to the joint legislative tax committee for a sales tax, whereby the public must be troubled with the pur­ chase of coupon books, is neither in harmony with his campaign pledge and far from being popular with the citizens of the state. Instead of bringing the state government within its in­ come, he seeks and warns the joint tax committee, no other plan will be approved, to force the arm of the state into the purse of every citizen for some fifty million more in taxes. As provoking as the sales tax is, the Governor is placing Ohio business at a disadvantage with other mail order houses. He fails to take into consideration that other interests in the state will not be called upon to contribute its share of the new tax burden. His statement that real estate will be relieved must be taken with a grain of salt for such a promise was made when classification was adopted. A glance at the delinquent tax list in any Ohio county is proof of the failure of classification. The Governor will attempt to force his bill through the Democratic controlled legislature, with probably some Repub­ lican support that has been taken into the Democratic ranks for personal gain. The public will be helpless due to the fact it has not awakened to the fact that tax bills are not yet subject to referendum. The extra two per cent sales tax will cost the average property owner double any possible saving in real estate taxes. Gov. White has betrayed the people by his new tax proposal and is condemned in every quarter. THIRTY HOUR WEEK WILL DISAPPOINT MANY The proposed thirty-hour bill now before the lower house of congress, may not make the progress it did when the senate voted for it some days ago. The measure is a mere jesture to union labor leaders, yet it is coated with an appeal as a sort of relief program. Under the Ho’over administration a campaign was staged known as! the “ share the work” idea in which each regularly employee'was to lay-off a day or two aweek to give some other person his job. Many firms tried to enforce the plan but labor failed to give its support to the Hoover idea. The thirty hour week, five days of six hours each, is to be as disappointing for thousands are to have their present incomes reduced. Thirty hours a week does not mean three days of ten hours.each but under the terms of this bill must be five days or six hours each. Labor leaders are urging eight hours pay for six hot^rs work but this is going beyond the power of any legislative body. If the new bill becomes a law all employees will be paid only by the hour. • From the otherside merchants and industry must be heard. Take for instance paper mills, steel mills, sugar and oil refin­ eries, as well as other industries, that operate on a twenty-four hour basis when they have sufficient business, it will mean foui shifts instead of three as at present. This means a reduction ir the total amount an employee can earn during the Week. Will this appeal to men or women that now have employment? It has been reported that President Roosevelt is much opposed to the bill passed by the. senate and before he would give it his approval it must be radically changed. So far it has made no progress in the Houses. I t should be defeated as it would only add to the cost of the manufacture of necessary products^ even while the purchasing power of people is lower than it has been for twenty-five years. WHOSE PROBLEM IS IT? The problem of effective control of children was old when recorded history began, and it was doubtless only the repetition of an adage already old when the collector of the Book of Pro­ verbs included the words: “ Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart therefrom.” But somehow, in spite of thousands of years of experience, we still fail to get this training effectively done, in a distressingly high percentage of cases. There still seems to be no little uncertainty as to wh ose job it really is. The Florida Times-Union says: “Some parents can’t control their own children, but they raise merry sand if the school teachers also fall down on the job.” And some are in­ clined to criticize the church and Sunday school for falling down on the same job. With modern life what it is, at least all three of these agencies need to work in constant co-operation, if a better record is to be achieved, in the kind of child training that will not only keep the child in order-while it is a child, but will establish an orderly bent, mentally, morally and physically, that will continue through life. Human nature, on this earth, will never score 100 per cent perfection in anything. The old Greek dramatist was-right when he described errancy as inherent in human nature. Still, , the vast majority of parents want their children to go right, and there is not one school teacher, preacher or Sunday school teacher in 100 Who has not the same desire for the future of every child under his or her influence. With proper teamwork, and with more systematic atten­ tion to the problem, even at the sacrifice of some of the time given to bridge, golf and other less important avocations, the average quality and success of child training might be immen­ sely enhanced-—and it would seem to be worth while. — Columbus Dispatch. A STEP IN A LONG JOURNEY Visitors to the Chicago World’s Fair will see unique electric lighting effects which will form a milepost marking 40 years of progress in the science of artifical illumination with incandescent lamps. A t the 1893 Chicago World's Fair were seen incandescent lamps in their first application to decorative lighting on a large scale. The lighting of that time would seem humorously crude now, but then it was a miracle. It marked the beginning of a neW age in the home. It sounded the deathknell of an age-old type of lighting. It was the pioneer effort that made possible modern electric developments— not only in lighting but in labor-saving power appliances. Those first lamps weren't viewed with any particular en­ thusiasm. They were comparatively expensive to buy and to operate. They were uncertain. Burn-outs were the rule, rather than the exception. They required kid-glove handling if they were to work at all. A good many years passed before the public in general was convinced that they were more than a fad. But that conviction finally came, and the perfection of the electric lamp came along with it. To the homes of fifty years from now our present standards of lighting will seem as crude as those of fifty years ago do to us. The spectacle of lighting at the World's Fair, fine as it will be, will not mark the apex of development— it will simply be one more step in the long march of domestic civilization. The sales tax idea may not be so bad after all, t will tend to relieve unemployment situation. The present administration will get to name several hundred inspectors, politicia s not yet on the public pay roll. Gov. White may discover that his senatorial ambitions ore but a "Mid-summerNight's Dream." Many Democrats are now having a “Night-mare" over future prospects. f i UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson <By BEV. P. B. FITZWATKR. D.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—Greatness Through Sacrificial Serv. Ice. I. Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection (vv. 32-34), This is the third time he makes this prediction. This time it was while on his way to Jerusalem. 1, Jesus &oing before the disciples (v. 32). Jesus was going with the full consciousness of the awful tragedy of the cross before him, the treachery of Judas, the fiery persecutions of the priests and scribes, the unjust Judg­ ment, the delivery to Pontius Pilate, the mocking, the scourging, the crown of thorns, the cross between male­ factors, the nails, the, spear—all were spread before him. The notion that the death of Christ was Incidental to his career is most fallacious. The very purpose of the incarnation was the vicarious death (Heb. 2:14), 2. The amazed disciples (v. 32). His utterances and , demeanor filled their minds witli perplexity and their hearts witli awe. 3. The crowd followed In fear tv. 32, R. V.). The strange atmosphere and happenings struck them with awe and fear. ! 4. Jesus instructed the twelve (vv. 33, 34). In this state of confusion Jesus called them to himself and pa-. tiently instructed them ns to “ what things should happen unto him,’' a. “Delivered unto the chief priests and scribes." b. “They shall condemn him to dea(h and deliver him to the Gem tiles.” . , c. “They shall mock, scourge, spit upon, and kill him.” d. “The third day ha shall rise again.” II. The Ambitious Request of James and John (vv. 35-45). ' 1. What It was (vv. 35-37). It was for. a place of pre-eminence In the Kingdom. According to Matthew, their mother was the intercessor (Matt. 20:20). Christ had told them of the awrnl agony of the cross^and also of the glory which should follow. It was not entirely for their glory that they made tills request, but because of their personul desire to be with their Lord. 2. Jesus’ reply (vv. 38-45). a. To Ja aes and Johafvv. 88-40), ( l ) ' Their misconception rebuked. “Ye kndw not what ye ask.” (2) Positions of glory in Christ's Kingdom are earned, not obtained through favor or arbitrary assignment. The way to honor is through suffer­ ing, The cup which they were to drink was all that they were to suffer be­ cause of his crucifixion, b. To the ten disciples (vv. 41-45). (1) Their displeasure (v. 41). They were displeased with the request of James and John, because they were not free from* selfish ambition. (2) True greatness declared (vv. 42-45), To minister to others is great­ er than to be ministered unto (▼. 43). Among the Gentile nations greatness was conceded to those who exercised authority over others. The highest standard of Christ's Kingdom Is to for­ get self In devoted service to others, even to the giving of one's life. III. Jesus Cures Blind Bartlmaeus (vv. 40-52). Though already bearing the weight of bis cross, he had time for gracious deeds. Blind Bartlmaeus received his sight 1. Bartlmaeus* request (vv. 46, 47). As soon as he heard that Jesus was passing by he cried to him for help. The fact that he addressed him as .the Son of David showed that he recog­ nized his Messlahship. 2. Rebuked by the multitude (v. 48). This rebuke provoked even a more earnest cry from Bartlmaeus. 3. The blessing granted (vv, 40-52), Though Jesus knew his desire, he Wished him definitely to commit him­ self. Note the progress In the experi­ ence of Bartlmaeus. n, A blind beggar (v. 40). b.

Ilow quickly an earnest soul may pass from sore need to jubilant dig- clpleship.

C., that congress should legislate to cancel some o f the contracts for new post- office buildings, let under the proceed­ ing administration. It is charged contracts were let at excessive prices and extravagance found on every hand. We have reason to believe this must be true for a Springfield citizen informs us that the contractor that put in the basement for the new post- office building in that city made no provision for sewer, water and gas pipes and workmen are npw tearing out heavy cement walls at groat cost to make this possible. And yet the public was baked to pay three cent letter postage owing to a groat deficit in the postal department. Under Gov, White’s new sales tax plan' housewives are going to find themselves troiibled with the coupon tax books. If the housewife sends her “Jimmy” to the grocer for a broom, soap or starch, only food pro­ ducts being exempt, she must send coupons to cover the tax, whether the sale is to be cash or charged. In fact everyone will be compelled to pur­ chase these coupons before the gro­ cer, hardware dealer, druggist, can compete the sale. All business houses must be licensed by the state to do business in Ohio. However if you want a bottle o f beer or cigarettes, you do not have to turn over the little tax coupons. system, submitted to Congress, said: “ To annul tbs use of either gold or silver as a money is to abridge the quantity o f circulating medium, and is liable to all the objections which arise from the comparison of the benefits of a full circulation with the evil o f a scanty circulation. In all these years this conflict between silver and gold, between the groat common people and the Money Trust, has been going on until the widespread disaster prophesied by John G. Carlisle, more than half a century ago, has come to pass. President Roosevelt, who seems to know history, and who is about to sit in a great international poker game, when he found his chips too high and too few, put a padlock on his chest of gold and decided to play with the same chips the other fellows are using. Will Rogers recently re­ marked: “ America has never lost a war, nor has she ever won a confer­ ence.” It looks now like we had a man in Uncle Sam’s seat at the com­ ing International* poker game who knows how to draw and the proper value to put on the chips, The eyes of the world are upon him. —Franklin Chronicle. Reports every week or so of the theft o f chiektns tends to make us believe that now is the time to revive the Cedarville Protective Association. We are entering the. season when farmers will have enlarged flocks, of young chickens and some action should be taken to give the community more protection. We have in Cedar- vjjle several families that are living under more or less suspicion. From all reports they spend most, of the day in. bed, or-at least there is little stir about the property during the day time, but’ each .fvening an old auto mobile is put into use.. Other reports are that there is considerable travel­ ing at night, among, these people. If the Protective Association could pro­ vide "a few spotters, it is very likely seme o f these folks living under .suspicion may find living in some other community more agreeable. - People are pretty much befuddled about this business o f going off the gold standard but there is beginning to trickle through the brain of the average man the idea that all the bil­ lions of Government bonds, payable in gold has been gathered into the hands o f the International bankers and {hose wizards of finance who have made their,fortunes out of the tariff and those who have made their mil­ lions out of the war, out of the blood and tears o f .the suffering men, wo­ men and children of the world. These m en , have fixed incomes, derived through interest coupons on tax-ex empt bonds, and they naturally do not favor any expansion, which will bring the other man’s wages or commodities up and bring their dollars down. They are the ones who are opposing any currency expansion at this time. On every hand we see failures, fore closures, bankruptcies, We see farm­ ers driven from, their homes, mort­ gages forecldsed, lands sold to pay their taxes; we see ragged and distressed laborers tramping the streets or crowding the broad lines of the towns and cities; we see hungry men, Women and children from the best families o f America begging their bread from door to door, while crimson splotches of suicide mark the mileposts along the road to ruin that we have been traveling since 1929. Then why not try something that may lead to relief? Away back in 1878 Hon. John G. Carlisle said: “Accord­ ing to my view* of the subject, the conspiracy which seems to have been formed here and in Europe to destroy by legislation and otherwise from three-sevenths to one-half of the metallic money of the world is the most gigantic crime of this or any other age. The consummation of such a Scheme would ultimately entail more misery upon the human race than all the wars, pestilences and famines that ever occured in the history of the world.’’ There is something to think about. If William Jennings Bryan were alive today, how happy Would he be to see the swing to bimetalism. Even Wm, McKinley, Who defeated Bryan in the famous 16 to 1 campaign, declared on the floor of the House of Representative^ in 1890, “ I would give silver equal credit with gold; I would make no discrimination;' I would utilise both metals as money and discredit neither; I, want the double standard." Away back in 1791 Alexander Hamilton in a communica­ tion relating to our first monetary May the fourth, one year ago, the Exchange Bank joined the long list of institutions that are now under the care of the State Bank Department, in the process of liquidation. It.is no pleasant thing to revive such hap­ penings for the closing of any bank cannot bet done without bringing dis­ appointment and loss not only to depositors, bub the entire community. However brighter days are certainly ahead. Fires have devastated blocks in many cities and floods have swept whole counties but from it all came more and better fire protection and even flood protection. Just so will we have better bank laws that will pre­ vent such wholesale closings and de­ positors, as well as stockholders, will enjoy more protection. It is out of such disasters that we make progress for the future. bayk in the earlier days when we read with interest the unfortunate affiction that -befell a girl six and one-half years old that camo out of a serious illness, deaf, dumb and blind. Her life and what was being done for her was often commented upon in the Youth’s Companion. Now a college graduate and able to speak, yet can­ not hear or even see, gives all a new light of what American has ac­ complished in the educational field. Miss Keller speaks five languages. She is able by placing her thumb on her secretary’s throat, and two fingers on her lips, road what she says. The secretary also can con­ verse by the finger method, desig­ nating letters and words with fingers in Miss Keller’s hand. Miss Keller has few equals when it comes to a mental test. She has had throe and four pages o f manuscript road to her and then go to her typewriter and put the copy down word for word as given her. Her motto has been: “Make perseverance your companion, and work and continue to work.” She has a wonderful personality and her facial expression while talking con­ vinces you she is conscious of all her surroundings, > each county having a delinquent iwt much longer than the list o f telephone, gas and electric subscribers, it was very unfortunate that Ohio was called upon to put up nearly seven million dollars to erect a twelve story palace <that is to be used to house several Ithousand state employees. The build­ ing was started under Gov, Cooper and completed under Gov. White, Both provided for not only unusual advanta­ ges for the state salaried list, but we never saw so many expensive frills, It takes about ninety janitors, eleva­ tor operators and .other servant help. Gov. White has fallen down badly on his economy program and will not get the credit*of Gov. McNutt of Indi­ ana, who abolished hundreds of places with a salary saving of three million dollars annually. One hundred and sixty-three boards and commissions were reduceed to eight. Now Ohio’s governor asks for a sales tax that is to call for several hundred inspectors, ^ to say nothing about clerical help St headquarters in Columbus. The state high highway patrol system is but an­ other piece of political graft to be saddled on the motorists rather than a reduction of at least one cent in the gasoline tax. * Two months ago the population qf the Dayton Soldiers’ Home was 4500. May 1st it was 3583. Of the sixteen barracks at the home four are now vacant. It is estimated that by June 30th one-half of the population will have been discharged. The reduction comes about by tfie new , rules now enforced under the federal economy act. Each case is considered as in­ dividual and if the veteran has no funds when given his discharge he is permitted to remain until his pension arrives, when he can purchase a ticket for his original home. President Roosevelt has-proclaimed May 14th, as Mother’ll Day and urges that everything be done “ for the relief and welfare of mothers and children who may be in need of-the necessities of life.” Seeing and hearing the marvelous Helen Keller is a treat that will never be forgotten. Well do we remember If you want to rest the eye on what appears to be a wanton waste of pub­ lic funds some time when you are in Columbus just make a trip through the new state office building. We are not offering this comment from strict­ ly a critical standpoint but when the whole state is down financially, taxing districts as well as individuals and According to a report from Colum­ bus there were 313 injury claims dur­ ing the past year in this county.
