Moreover cities and villages would not receive a single dollar of benefit therefrom.for the state police are only to operate in the country. But the people living in the cities and villages and along the sixty thousand miles of county and township roads would have to help pay i the bills. About three-fourths of the people in Ohio would ; receive no benefit whatever from these state police. The move-1 ment is only more jobs for politicians. FORESTRY CAMP LIFE NO HOLIDAY AFFAIR Judging from reports those in charge of the government forestry camps are having much trouble in enforcing rules and regulations. With many of the enlisted young men they had the idea it was to be a picnic or more like a Boy Scout outing. Aiding the unemployed is to be complimented but service must be returned by those in need for America is not soon going to adopt the open dole method of public aid. Several hundred young men that did not care to work but wanted clothing and food, all able bodied and in good health, have been discharged for infractions of-the rules. Some ob­ jected to part of their pay being retained to send to families in need. Here is where public aid should cease and some penalty inflicted. We are now forced to ask ourselves, how much farther should we go in the way of-so-called poor relief ? That we have millions that are in need, and worthy, no one can deny, but in our zeal to grant this aid are we not breeding a new.brand of pauperism in this country? Ohio now owes the federal government millions of dollars for so-called charity, and the state is asking for more which in years to come will only be a burden on the-state. The problem of charity is a local one unless some, great disaster has befallen that community. Placing public funds in the hands of politicians for public aid is dangerous in principle and wasteful in practice. It has how taken the form of a new kind of racket and will eventually lead to a breakdown of public support. SALES TAX A FAILURE AND A SUCCESS The continued debate over a sales tax brings out several points that will not carry convincing argument that Ohio should adopt any such law. Gov. White continues to drive this meas­ ure. through the state legislature and it will no doubt pass in the House, but there are fond hopes that it will be defeated in the Senate, State Senator Taylor of Mississippi addressed the legis­ lature Monday night; at the request of Gov. White, to explain what had been accomplished in that state, but it was plain the Southerner, did not favor the coupon system. Again it was pointed out that a few citiesiin Ohio would contribute more than what'has been collected within the year in Mississippi. - Opponents of the sales tax will have Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania appear before the legislature to show what a fail­ ure the sales tax was in his state and the unjustness of such legislation. The opponents have also been holding up the Illinois State Supreme Court decision wherein the sales tax in that state was declared unconstitutional in that it discriminated against certain products as exempt. Most of the same articles will be exempt under the plan proposed by Gov. White. While a bait of reduced real estate taxes have been flaunted before Ohio property owners, the Governor has not yet con­ vinced citizens that such would be mandatory on the part of Ohio taxing authorities. The Governor’s suggestion of 1.85 mill reduction is not meeting with popular approval. The sales tax plan, will be a nuisance, but probably would be accepted if real estate was guaranteed a limit of about ten mills. This limit would be in line with present day valuations. PRESIDENT APPEALS TO WORLD FOR PEACE ’ Not only the United States, but the whole world was stirred as never before in peace time, when President Roosevelt ap- , pealed to the heads of fdrty-four nations to limit war time pre­ parations and stand for peace by not sending armed forces be­ yond their own borders. It was the boldest' stroke ever attempted by an executive in behalf of peace to save civiliza­ tion at the most critical time in the history of the world. - The President no doubt has given the peace movement more backing than has any conference or treaty gathering that has yet considered world peace. It was a timely suggestion and comes at a time when Germany, mad with Hitlerism, is ready to spring on one or more European nations. The United States is probably suffering as much or more from disturbed world conditions than any nation, due to the fact that the leading foreign powers owe us billions of dollars. Our economic disturbance has only been magnified by the Hoover moratorium granting Germany a holiday on payments due this country. Had Germany been compelled to keep up her payments, France likely would not lag behind as she has done and continues to do. With Germany inthe throes of a war with neighbors and probably revolution within her borders, she is giving her debts no consideration. The President is to be complimented for his appeal to the world, what he can accomplish no one knows, probably he him­ self does not, yet he is willing to take the lead and his masterly appeal should at least bring fruit in a number of the nations. Attacking the European clinched fist is daring to say the least and the time was right now for such an appeal. Germany of course knows America does not want war, but she also knows what one war cost her, and there is more than one way of chastising a nation than with poison gas and gun powder. The President has shown he has the courage and fortitude to try his hand against strong odds for world peace and his hands will be upheld by a very large part of the wovld that believes in a peaceful civilization. Remember the thunder in February ? Will we get the frost in May? From indications no corn will get nipped. While federal and state governments are in the regulating business, one field has been overlooked— the roadside tourist camp, ’ Many little children are dying of whooping cough, this spring says a health bulletin, because the mothers want them to ‘ ‘get it early and have it over with,’ * How far should we go in spending public money to ferrit out the mysterious death of a “ woman of the street” ? The mandate of the law should be followed of course but has not society been benefited in a way. Farm prices on hogs and grains continue to ascend which is pleasing news. But how long can they remain at new peaks when labor is still walking the streets? Will they remain even at present levels after congress adjourns? Marketmasters and brokers usually know their trade. Gov. White of course could not think of dropping one or two o f the ninety janitors, watchmen or elevator men in Ohio’s new six million dollar palace for office holders, while hundreds of thousands in the state cannot pay their taxes. Dropping a politician from the pay roll would only be adding to the un­ employment situation.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—H ow to Deal W ith Objectors. I. Jesus Silences HI* Enemies (vv. 13-34). 1. The Pharisees andHerodlans (vv. 13-17). In order to destroy him they sought to discredit him ambng the people. To th'Is end they sent rep­ resentatives ot both factions (v. 18). a. Their question (v. 14). The Phurlsees contended that since God was tlie real king of Israel, It was not obligatory to pay taxes to a heath­ en king. The Herodlans were support­ ers of Herod. They came to him with flattery on theh -Ups with this' subtle question. For him to answer yes would have discredited him with the people, and to have said no would have made him liable to arrest by the Roman authorities. b. Jesus' reply (vv. 15-17). He asked for a coin to be -brought and in­ quired whose image and superscription It bore, declaring that, those who ac­ cept the coin of Caesar should pay taxes to Caesar. •In this reply Jesus escapes their trap and enunciates a principle which applies to all time and conditions as to the responsibility o f Christians to civil government Those who accept the protection and benefits of civil government should support that government However, being a loyal citizen is not enough. There la a duty to God. 2. The Sadducees (vv. 18-27). The Pharisees and Herodlans' being si-, lenced, the Sadducees came with a question which involved not only im­ mortality but the resurrection of the body. a. The case' proposed (vv, 19-23). The law of Moses made It not only le­ gal but morally binding in the case of a man dying without children for ■his brother to take his wife (Deut. 25 ;5). They proposed the case of a woman married successively to seven brothers. They asked whose wife rhe shall be in the resurrection. b. Jesus’ reply (vv. 24-26). By a quotation from the Mosaic law (Exod. 3 :G), he proves the resurrection of the dead and their continued existence be; yond death as human beings. He showed that marriage is for the pres­ ent life only. Iii this respect human beings will be as the angels In the resurrection life. He pointed out that . their gross error was due to two things: (1) Ignorance of the Scriptures (v, 24). In the very Scriptures which they professed to .bellove was positive proof of the resurrection (Exod. 3 : 6 ) ( 2 ) Ignorance of the power of God (v. 24). God is able to provide a life where there will be no death, no births, or marriages. 3. The scribes (vv. 28-34). per­ ceiving that Christ had effectively an swered the Sadducees, one of the scribes came with the question as to which was the great, commandment. Jesus summed up man’s whole duty in one word, love—*‘love to God and love to man." II. Jesus’ Question (vv. 35-37). He now turned upon J)ils adversaries with a counter question^ Its answer involves the central problem o f {Chris­ tian philosophy, indeed of all rational thinking. Christ’s place in the scale of being is the foundation truth of all right thinking. “Is ’Jesus Christ man or God, is he God and man7*’ David spoke of the coming Messiah as both his son and God. There IS but one answer to this question—the Incarna- tion of God in Christ. III. Jssua Condemns the 8 cribss (vv. 38-40). The attitude of these people toward Jesus was not determined by insuper­ able Intellectual difficulties, but by their moral nature. L They loved to go in tong cloth­ ing (v. 38). This means they loved ostentation and display. 2. They loved to be saluted in pub­ lic places (v. 38). 3. They sought to occupy the chief seats in the synagogues, airi the up­ permost rooms at feasts (v . 59). 4. They devoured widows’ houses (v. 40). They lined their pockets at the expense of helpless women. 5. They offered hypocritical prayers (v. 40). IV. Jesus’ Praise of the Sacrlfletaf Giving of the Widow (vv, 41-44). These words of Jesus reveal unto us the fact that in God’s sight a gift is measured by the heart motive, Mr, C. N.

We have public affairs in Clinton county. It is said a “sleeper” <?lau»e fix* been uncovered in the recently en­ acted Ohio law placing the sale o f automobile license tags in the hands o f the State Highway Department, as urged by Gov. White, who seeks to control the patronage for Demo­ cratic organization-purposes, In most states tags are issued by the Secre­ tary o f State. I f this bill is not de­ feated by a referendum vote the high­ way director will have the power to designate a patented fastener as well as patented license pl'ates fo r your automobile. These patented articles would be sold at. a fat profit and all automobile owners would be required to purchase same when taking out a license. Ohio was one o f the first states to have license tags made by Ohio penitentiary labor and under Clarence J. Brown, former secretary o f .state, were produced as low or lower in cost than in any other state using prison'labor. Jt is not any wonder that people are continually confused over public mat­ ters. For instance' former attorney generals have ruled that signers to all referendum petitions must sign their own name, ward, precinct,, address and not the bearer o f the petition signing everything but the name. . Now comes Attorney General Bricker who rules that all former rulings are set aside and electors need only sign their name and thp bearer o f the petition can fill in the other data. Without going into argument over the Bricker ruling, the point we wish make is that we should have some system whereby a ruling stands and would not be subject to re­ versal. It has always been our opinion that all attorney generals have had more power in this respect than they should. For instance Gilbert Bett- man came near being attorney general legislature and a court. No opinion o f an attorney general can be given that is not subject to court review but the trouble is public officials and individ­ uals never know where they stand fo r each attorney general has his own idea o f laW construction and interpreta­ tion. Subscribe fo r The Herald Last Friday evening we talked with a gentleman from Clairmont, Florida, that stopped- in town with his party for the night. He was enroute north, his ninth trip since he located in Florida. He had originally resided in and near Medina, had been a farmer and at one time was in the coal business in Medina. He had just completed picking the .last o f his citrus fruit crop last Tuesday and started north the following day, He has a seven acre grove that has net­ ted him about $1,600 annually. Three years ago he sold his crop on the trees fo r $2,700. He remarked that one o f the things that had- injured Florida was the extremely high taxes fo r several years but they are now back to normal in his county and are are not burdensome. He says high taxes and ill health forced him to leave Ohio, and he predicted there was no future fo r his native state, Until all real estate valuations are reduced in keeping with present day values. The recent rains and continued wet weather through most o f April and thus far in May has resulted in break­ ing some weather records. In Cin­ cinnati the weather department re­ ports a rainfall o f 5.53 inches from .5:30 Saturday evening until the same time Sunday evening, a new record in that section o f the state. Reports out o f Columbus is that during the first five month* o f 1933 the rainfall has amounted ta 1(K38 inches. This is 2.82 inches above normal. So far this month the rainfall for Central Ohio is reported at 3.61 inches. Martyrs to a cause might be ap­ plied to a supposed Ohio family traveling to Washington, D. C., as one o f the leaders in a mortgage moratorium appeal, Friday, might be applied to the Mylorie family, sup­ posedly from Union county. A dis­ patch out o f Union- - county puts a different story on the situation. The Mylorie family owned a 69.3 acre farm in Dover tounship that county for 27 days in 1930. They conveyed it to Edwin A. Creque, Cuyahoga Falls, O., a relative. An insurance company foreclosed when interest and taxes had not been paid by either the Mylorie family or Creque. The sale took place last November and the Mylorie family-departed the next day in a trailer and landed in Washing­ ton last week to protest foreclosures. It is just such instances aS this that gives the foreclosure a black-eye under present conditions and also is making it hard far worthy persons to get loans on real estate. The White state administration is making a desperate effort to keep citizens from signing the referendum petition* on the- law to transfer the motor vehicle license bureau from the Secretary o f State to the State High­ way Department; also the state highway patrol law. Highway Di­ rector Merrell is sending hundreds o f letters to eyeryone who wants a job at the expense o f motorists and to those even who have not 'applied for jobs. One o f these letters was sent to Maurice McMahon, Kenton, who says he is not arid never has been an applicant fo r a patrol job and that tilo whole business looks like a cheap attempt to intimidate those Who might desire to sign the petitions.
