Then as we stand at the graves o f our dead as a tribue o f honor to those who offered the supreme sacrifice in the defence o f our nation and national ideas. It is a day we acknowlege a debt we can never repay and which is symbolized with flowers laid upon the low ly mounds that cover the forms once dear to us. It is a day o f all days to b e remembered. Let not the duty to ar­ range fo r appropripate services’ fa ll upon the shoulder o f a few . Let the community as a whole do honor to whom honor is due— to our fallen heroes. NOW IS THE TIME TO SPErtD The public has grown weary o f the old slogans to the effect that “ Prices are boom ing! Buy n ow !” etc. But there’s truth in those phrases at present. Recent inflation activities and the prospective change in the gold backing o f the dollar, will be the most powerful price stimulant in three years. It really is time to buy now ! Best o f all, by buying now, and building and repairing now, you can do your bit in the most dramatic stage mf the war against unemployment and distress and at the same time secure the greatest return on your dollar in more than a generation. A dollar in property improvement means a dollar touching the lives o f a thousand people— and doing a thousand dollars' work. Repair the steps, paint the house, remove fire hazards, renovate the-garden, renew rotting foundations with concrete — do any o f these things, and you’ ll be a factor in the work o f recovery. It is not prophecy to say that in your lifetime you’ ll never have the opportunity to get work done as cheaply as now. It’s fact. The price structure is abnormally low. It is lower than ev,en the intensenesS o f depression justifies. As demand in­ creases, the rate o f climb will be sharply accelerated. Remember that providing jobs is cheaper than charity— and that it’ s better to provide a job now than to have to con­ tribute to charity next year, Remember, too, that unless the jobs are provided it won’t be long until nothing is left for charity ! , . SOCIALISM— THE BEGINNING OR ENDING Back in the days o f 1896 William J. Bryrn, then the Democratic candidate fo r president, was regarded by Republi­ cans as half Socialist and half Democrat. The issue was coinage o f silver at the ratio o f 16 to one in gold. What a transforma­ tion a third o f a century has witnessed when the almost solid Republican west not only has demanded more silver but here we find the loudest exponents o f currency, inflation. For years back there has been a demand that the govern­ ment get out o f business' where private capital was interested, holding, that government competition was unfair. Following the world war the future use and development o f the Muscle Shoals plant has caused bitter argument. The power industry in the nation has founght every effort to put the Muscle Shoals plant to use where government power was to be sold for private consumption. The political line-up on this problem was largely Republican opposition to additional development and Democratic support towards government ownership and regulation. ' , What a transformation we find today, Republican captains o f industry having turned socialistic, i f we apply the rule of days gone by. W e find Republican bankers, manufacturers, on bended knee before President Roosevelt begging him to give support to the industry bill that directly puts the government in business. The plea now is that labor must be cared fo r and, cut-throat competition routed. The truth is big business is' broke and is hoping to use the government fo r protection so that the “ big stibk” can be applied to small business without violation o f the anti-trust law. Big business hopes in this way to go on trying to earn billions on “ watered-stock,” and at the same time fo rce small business out o f the picture so that prices o f merchandise can be boosted. What the combination is going to do fo r labor will not be discussed until the plan is tried out, but labor will only get promises, low wage rate per hour and limited to 30 hours a week. From the agricultural standpoint the operation o f Muscle, Shoals has been favored by farmers fo r years, thinking that cheaper fertilizer can be produced, Fertilizer may be manu­ factured at a lower cost but will the farmer benefit? The fertilizer industry is no small affair in this country and it naturally ties in with the utility forces against government operation o f Muscle Shoals. Under the proposed industry bill,-industry and union labor are to join hands before Miss Perkins in Washington. They may agree in her presence but how can we. ^xpect perfect harmany once her back is turned. It is a peculiar combination forced by circumstances. Big business is ready to eat out o f any one’ s hand, even what was not so long ago termed Socialism, HOW MANY FARMERS WILL AGREE? The sales tax proposal in Ohio has brought to light the hands o f two leaders fo r farm organizations, but it cannot be said these two farm leaders, who are urging a sales tax pn every thing a farmer purchases, are o f the dirt-farmer variety. Both are drawing princely salaries out o f their farm organiza­ tions while the farmer can can get his dues paid the best way possible. It is said these two “ farm-leaders,” Palmer and Dyer, are in co-operation with Gov, White on forcing a general sales tax in Ohio, rather than reduce government cost to the people o f the state. It is not surprising that high salary farm leaders would give support to a proposed tax measure that would put the hand o f the taxing authorities o f the state in every pocket, rich and poor alike. We remember the trouble that broke out not so many months ago in the State Farm Bureau when an attempt was made to urge lower fees fo r membership, the powers that be, in a high-handed method, fought through its machine and whipped out those who would cut the revenue that might reduce the salaries o f the upper crust eating at the expense o f the dirt farmer, i f he happened to be a member o f the farm bureau. It has been argued in Columbus about the legislature that the farmer was willing to pay more taxes himself to make the other fe llow pay more. That is a new line o f reasoning. Under the sales tax, the farmer would be compelled to pay tax on each box o f hog rings, repairs fo r machinery or new machinery, dairy and hqg feeds, etc. A ll citizens in Ohio will be compelled to pay the sales tax other than on a few items o f food . As the farmer produces much o f his food supply, he will have no chance to save in that respect. It is a settled fa c t that business interests do not intend to absorb the sales tax but will add it to the cost o f each article sold. Farmers have bean as hard hit by taxes ag any class, yet here we find farm leaders backing the sales tax legislation. The promise o f low er rates on real estate is fixed by the con­ stitution, Neither the legislature or the Governor can change this feature until the people have authorized such a change by a special vote. Farmers had better fu lly consider Palmer’s position before endorsing a sales tax. It was only a few weeks ago that he was named on the State Board o f Agriculture by the Governor. It is Palmer’ s turn now to return the favor and “ misrepresent” the sales tax to the farmers o f the state. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson (By REV. P. B. F1TZWATER, D. D., lt«m- tier ot Faculty. Moody Blbl* Institute of Chicago.) 9>1903, WesternK»wsp»p«rUhtoB, Lesson fo r May 28 JESUS AND HIS FRIENDS LESSON TEXT— Marie 1111-14:9, GOLDEN TEXT—Ye are my friend*. If yo do whatsoever 1 command you, John 15:14. PRIMARY TOPIC—Some Friends of Jesus. ; JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus an Honored Guest. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP­ IC—Being a Friend of Jesus. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—Showing Our Friendship for Jesus, A better title for this lesson would suggest Jesus as giving a prophetic outline of events in the interval be­ tween his crucifixion and his second coming. I. The Occasion of the Prophecy (w . 1-4). As Jesus was passing out of the temple for the last time on his way to the Mount of Olives where he gave this discourse, the disciples reminded him of the splendor of. the building, to which he replied that not one stone should be left upon another. When seated upon the Mount, the disciples came privately, according to Matthew 24:3, with a threefold question re­ questing further information. 1. “ When shall ^hese things be?" 2. “What shall be the sign of thy coming?" 3. “The end of the age?" That which follows Is given In an­ swer to these three questions. II. The Characteristics of the Age Between the Crucifixion and Christ’s Second Coming (vv. 5-23). 1. The appearance of many deceiv­ ers (vv. 5,6). Many false Christs have pressed tlielr claims as being the Mes­ siah since Jesus went back to heaven. As this age draws to a close we may expect these1claims to increase. 2. Wars and strife among the na­ tions (vv. 7,8). The history of the centuries since Christ’s crucifixion Is written in blood. 3. Earthquakes, famines, and trou­ bles (v. 8). Though these calamities grow Increasingly sevpre as the days lengthen, the Intelligent disciple Is not surprised or alarmed for these are the precursors of a new order, the birth-pangs of a new age when the Kingdom of Christ shall be established on this earth.' Let the believer In Christ- in this time of darkness look up, for his redemption draweth nlgli. 4. Dreadful persecutions (v. ft). God's witnesses shall be delivered up to councils, beaten'In the synagogues, and shall be brought before rulers and kings for Christ’s sake ns a testi­ mony against them.- i 6. Universal evangelism (v. 10). The gospel of the kingdom, according to Matthew 24:14, shall be preached in all the world for a witness. This Is not the gospel of the grace of God which Is now being preached,. but * new' evangelism which shall he pro­ claimed by elect Israelites immedi­ ately preceding the coming ot Christ to establish his kingdom, (See Romans 11:13-15; Rev. 7:4-10.) 6. The universal hatred of the be­ lieving Israelites (vv. 11-13). They shall be severely persecuted. Civil ■government shall be against them. Their one duty notwithstanding shall . be to preach the gospel of the king­ dom, depending upon the Holy Spirit for wisdom and power. For this spe­ cific duty they are sealed with the seal of God in their foreheads (Rev, 7:3). This will be the real Pentecost of which the outpouring of the Spirit at the beginning of the church was a type (Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:16). 7. The great tribulation (vv. 14-23); This is the consummation of the age Immediately preceding the glorious ap­ pearing of ChriBt. Out of the mis­ sionary efforts of converted Israel shall eventuate the unparalleled hor­ rors so vividly pictured here. Daniel’s “abomination of desolation" Is the An­ tichrist—"the man of sin" (Dan. 8:26. 27; Dan. 11:36; II Thcss. 3:3,4), who will direct this reign of terror. III. The Glorious Return of the Lord (w . 24-27). Jesus' return Is the superlative event, the one to which ail prophecies ha»e pointed, and to which all ages ore moving with unfailing precision. IV. Application of the Prophecy (vv. 28-87). 1. As these events multiply'in the earth, we knew that the coming of the Lord draweth nigh (vv. 28, 29), • 2. The Jewish race shall retain its integrity until the end (V. 30), The per­ petuity o f Israel Is the miracle of the ages. 3. Certainty of fulfillment (v. 31). The unfailing guarantee o f this Is the> words of Jesus Christ 4. The time of Christ’s coming Is unknown (v. 32). In view of this fact it is folly to set the time. 5. The proper behavior In view of Christ's Imminent coming (vv, 38-3?) Is watchfulness and prayer. Governor White in a special mes­ sage to the legislature Tuesday recommended soma drastic changes in ( the Ohio law relative to delinquent' tax payers. His first recommendation will meet with approval in that public j officials arid employees who are delin­ quent in their taxes shall have same deducted from their salaries. It has developed in numerous counties, particularly Montgomery county, that even judges receiving big salaries had not paid their taxes for several years. The Governor in his next recom­ mendation suggests that county treas­ urers in Ohio be empowered to become receivers for all delinquent real estate. They are- to take over the management, dispossess the owner, rent the property and apply the rental until all delinquent taxes are paid.- Russia and Germany can still get a few new ideas on taxation from Ohio. tion in Ohio, relative to the cost o f ’ text books, These three officials con- j stitute a commission to pass on the? maximum price of text books. He exhibited a first reader that sells in Canada for six cents, while the one used in Ohio cost parents fifty cents. The Senator has undertaken to* fill a large order when he attempts to reg­ ulate the school text book situation in Ohio. Friends of Clarence J. Brown are looking on the political horizon with much interest these days, expecting the road rather smooth should he con­ clude to try again for the Republican nomination for governor. It is con­ ceded in every quarter. Republican as welj as Democratic, that Gov. White has tied a crepe around his arm and will pass back to a, quiet peaceful private life in his dear Marietta, there to devote his time to his banking and oil ‘interests. From the Democratic side there is much uneasiness, the hundreds of state and county officials that were swept in by the landslide, know their party has no chance at the polls, particularily if the Governor can force his sales tax on the people. this is as nothing until the public feet* the inside o f "Hold on to Hoover” prohibition enforcement.

You can’t miss seeing Garlough throw Boat down stairs in that famous mystery play “ Grumpy.” To remind the Governor it might be well to throw open to the public the inside workings o f his State Tax Commission. Recent developments in Franklin county have left the Tax Commission in a delicate situation. Under the classification law records in that office are secret. One com­ pany may be taxed “ to death” and a competitor escape with little or no taxes. The favorite company of course should not forget to make a liberal contribution to the state cam­ paign fund When war funds are need­ ed. It has developed that several hundred citizens in Franklin county were down for reductions. These had to be certified to the county auditor. Seeing the unfairness the auditor and budget commission by public notice gave other property owners a chance to file for reductions and more than one hundred thousand filed the neces­ sary papers. Complications arose to the embarraBment of the Tax Com­ mission. ' The county auditor announc­ ed a straight "twenty per cent reduc­ tion to all property owners. One member of the Tax Commission, wor­ ried sick ,over the exposure, suffered an attack of heart: trouble and has since been* quite-ill. Once again the public can see for itself what classifi­ cation is and- what a system farm leaders urged on not only farmers but all property owners. And these same leaders ace trying to sell a sales tax to Ohio citizens. . Where are all the “Hold on to Hoover” shouters ? Almost every day the Hoover Republican has to dodge a new scandal or offer an alibi whether it fits or not. Thousands robbed by the Hoover administration recommendation to buy foreign bonds. The Muscle Shoals scandal, Harriman hank blow-up and J. P. Morgan testi­ mony that he had paid no income tax for three years, has taken all the pep out of the “ Hold on to Hoover” exhorters. Then we have yet to hear qf the postoffice building contracts, steamship contracts for hauling mail; R. F. C. loans to Mellon companies, Morgan & Co. were paid $122,000,000 for selling government securities' for the government that could, have been sold without cost through the Federal Bank system and yet the Morgan crowd admits it has paid no income tax. The “Ohio Gang” that debased Warren Harding were pikers. They should have had a Hoover suction suction sweeper in their day. All of New federal regulations indicate a big increase in the “pint-a-week” business. Those who are “ ill” can now get a medical prescription for good liquor hut not to exceed one pint a week. Government reports are that 5,000,000 gallons of pre-prohibition liquor are in. storage and about 6,000,- 000 gallons of new now being aged. It may be news to those who looked upon the former administration as “dry” to know the government releas­ ed about one million gallons for “medical” use. The American Medical Association urged the department to lift the restrictions. Times must be getting harder .for the corn liquor healers. Among those from here to attend sessions of the Presbyterian General essambly will be -Rev, D. L« Guthrie and wife, Judge S. Wright and wife, and Rev. James L. Chesnut, D. P., Richmond,- Ind, A court in Cuyahoga county has just held the Whittemore law uncon­ stitutional •as, to distribution of the inangible ax, therein • libraries sup­ ported by taxation would get- the lion’s share o f , tax money. This is the second attack on the classification tax law, the. Supreme Court some months ago having upset the plan of distributing tax funds collected in Hamilton county and dividing it among other counties. There has been much discussion in certain parts of the county relative to the set-up whereby tax payers have been called upon to; support the Xenia City library. Several meetings have been held and an effort has been made to get relief for ’townships that have been taxed to support the Xenia City library as a county institution. Cedar- ville township has not had to pay auch a tax, but townships having no libraries are now objecting to the present taxing scheme. Thus far no hope is in sight unless the law author­ izing such a tax is repealed. It is contended that several townships have had to pay in several hundred dol­ lars to support the Xenia library and only a comparatively, few books have been used, in on* instance something like twenty-five. The law under which the library is operated makes it easy on Xenia Township but the other townships are now finding it a burden. i Press reports* state that the Pres­ byterian General- Assembly that meets this week in- Columbus will ratify a change in the church mar­ riage code that;;Will drop part of the “ Love, Honor, £boir” obligation. The “Obey” goes into discard and the bride is to promise the bridegroom “ to be the loving and faithful wife.” Prosecutor Crawford of Montgom­ ery county face* a trying position in meeting the requirements of the Ohio law on delinquent taxes.' The law provides for foreclosure where taxes are delinquent and it is said several hundred pieces {£ f property have al­ ready been certified fo r foreclosure to collect the taxis due. No public official will retain his popularity long and enforce suck A law but the public cannot complahf a* it is a part of the infamous classification tax law forced on the people of Ohio by special in­ terests that were out to legalize cer­ tain exemptions for their own gain at the expense o f other property own ers. The public officials will be blamed for enforcing the law. It is no fault of theirs that classification was adopted on misrepresentation. Senator JftftM Ford, Chillicothe, representing this senatorial'district, is out to gat cheaper text books for Ohio school patrons. His plan Is to appoint a committee to consult with Gov. White, Secretary of State Myers and B« O, Skinner, director of educa Helping the farmer is a real sport these days among, the political mind­ ed. We mentioned something about the use of grain alcohol to one of our leading farmers several days ago and what might happen when alcohol was used for motor fuel. Our farm­ er friend stated he had been trying to figure r t how he was to bo benefited. The farmer sells the grain for manufacture of alcohol. The cooked grain is then dried and what was not taken out for alcohol is sold as a patent stock feed of some kind at about three times the'price of corn. $1.00 Tonavin—An Excellent Spring Tonic—69c This Week's Special at Brown’s By the way, don’t forget the senior class play at the Opera House on Wednesday, May 31, Card of Thanks: We wish to ex­ press our sincere thanks for the beautiful floral offerings and also for the many kindnesses shown by neighbors and friends during our re­ cent bereavement.
