FBIDAY, JUNE 23, 1933 ONE STATE REPRESENTATIVE HAS A PROGRAM With the Ohio legislature wasting weeks of time over what is certain to be a dead issue, the sales tax, it was left to Rep­ resentative J. S. Pettit, Logan county, to outline his plan as follows: “ Use the $.16,000,000 for new highway construction to keep our schools open and relief; use the $15,000,000 given to our state by the Federal government for new highway con­ struction; pass the Ward resolution to amend the constitution to relieve real estate from 15 mills to 10 mills and then go home.” Governor White might adopt the Pettit program and thus help restore himself in the estimation of Ohio citizens. CONGRATULATION TO DR. McCHESNEY The lower branch of the Ohio legislature of which Rep­ resentative 77. R. McChesney is a member from this county defeated the obnoxious sales tax Tuesday by a vote of 88 to 37. In as much as the House is strongly Democratic, many members voted with most Republicans to kill the bill, which had been taken from the taxation committee by the rules com­ mittee and called for * vote, Congratulations are due Dr. McChesney for his stand on this issue. His vote was not only in the interest of the business men in this county but consumers who would have been called upon to pay the tax which would have been added to all purchases as provided under the law. The issue is not altogether money for schools and poor relief. The demand on the part of the people is for lower taxation and a greatly reduced cost of government. This cannot be possible by raising more taxes at every turn. Gov White no doubt was elected on his plea of reduced cost of state government but he has permitted himself to be influenced by the same element that ruined the administration of former Governor Myers Y. Cooper. There was much favorable comment Wednesday when it became known the-sales tax was defeated. Not only business men here but in Xenia were pleased over Dr. McChesney’s stand. Moreover, nine, out of ten farmers opposed the sales tax, irrespective of the stand taken by farm leaders. It was not altogether the nuisance connected with the sales tax that most people objected to but because it would raise millions more for spending than in the past. A sales tax on all sales goods manufactured or shipped into the state with a ten mill limitation on real estate might be a good step. CHICAGO NOT THE ONLY GANG TOWN Chicago with her millions of population including all nationalities naturally,would be a fertile field for gangdom under such leadership as A1 Capone. With such contending forces gangdom and racketeers waged a war that brought the second city of the land into first page space almost daily. But Chicago is not the only city infested with this element of citizenship. In Ohio, Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati, even the smaller cities like Hamilton and Dayton have had their taste of it. Just last week Dayton experienced one of the boldest shooting affairs in the history of the state. Gang warfare suc­ ceeds because local officials are not on the job. Cincinnati has probably done a better job of cleaning out this class than any other large city in the state. Law enforcement we have noticed is not altogether matter of our public officials being on the job. Law enforce­ ment officers will be no stronger than the public sentiment that is behind them. When people become careless, indifferent and divided over enforcement policies then things begin to go from bad to worse. But this is not all that has a bearing on law enforcement When the public gets the impression, rightfully or wrongfully that our public servants are not on the square, the public morale is broken. Gangdom knows more about the psychology and temperment of our citizenship in a certain community than ninety-five per cent of its citizens. Why-shouldn’t gangdom thrive in Dayton. Just recently a county official goes to prison for wronging the county. A building and loan officer takes the/ same dose and other Officers have been indicted. Meantime state examiners are uncovering much dirt in Montgomery county affairs. The gang world wants no better backgrounc for its operations. Congress has adjourned and returned home. The Ohio legislature wants to adjourn but cannot get away from Gov White’s plan for more state machinery to place a few hundret more politicians on the state pay roll. Both want a rest but there is to be no rest for the wicked in this case will be the farmers and home owners that will have to work harder and longer to pay the bill. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY1 chool Lesson (By BEV. P. B. FJTJ5W*T*B. D. ft . Mem­ ber o( Faculty. Moody BIL-U institute o f Chicago,) ©, 153D, )V««teraN«w*y*u*t Daio». JUNE MARRIAGES Men and women who choose to be married1in June un­ consciously bow to the belief qf ancient Romans who consid ered that month more propitious for happy weddings than any other, especially if the day selected were at a time when the moon was full, or when the sun and the moon were in conjunc­ tion. May was especially to be avoided, as it labored under divers unpleasant spells. Thus down through the ages, public sentiment and to some extent regulations made by the church have governed the time when young people meet to exchange vows. In the old days the brigegroom was expected, the night be fore marriage, to place a considerable sum of money in a purse or on a plate, to indicate that he was purchasing the bride. In the middle ages this custom was changed so that the morning after the wedding day the bride could choose any gift she liked and the husband was bound to obtain it for her. Avaricious brides eventually caused the custom to be abolished, but a trace of it remains in some parts of England. When the officiating clergyman comes to “ with all my worldly goods I thee endow, the bridegroom hands over the fee and pours some gold pieces in a handkerchief held by one of the bridesmaids. The wedding ring is a symbol of eternity, and has been used for centuries. In tiqme countries the bridegroom fits the ring on every finger until ite reaches the wedding ring finger of the left hand, and there the Circle of gold remains. One old custom was for the father of the bride to present his new son-in-law with an old shoe. The bridgegroom then struck the bride a light blow, indicating his authority over her. In later years something o f this custom remained when friends threw old shoes after the newly married couple, but this was done.to bring good luck, rather than show that the bride was under her husband’s authority. Complete submission to a husband’s will was a part of early marriage customs, and the law permitted wife-beating. An old Welsh law modified this to provide that the husband was limited to three blows with a broomstick, “ on any part of the person except the. head,” Another law permitted a husband to whip his wife with a stick nd longer than his arm and no larger than his middle finger. That the authority was not en­ tirely one-sided is shown by old records that said a husband must be kind to his wife, else she had the right to leave him. -—Indianapolis News.

Lesson for June 25 REVIEW: JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR GOLDEN TEXT—Go y« Iterator*, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of th* Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching thorn to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. Matt. 2S:19, 20. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Our Friend. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Our Saviour and Lord. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- IC—Trusting and Obeying Jesus. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—Giving Ourselves Unreservedly to- Christ, Two methods are suggested which may he used for the senior and adult classes, I. A Perplexities Review, This Is suggested by Dr. Amos R. Wells. A perplexity arising from each lesson of the quarter should be as­ signed to a member of the class a week ahead of time. Suggestions: April 2. Why Is sickness allowed In .the world? April 9. Why Is the Christian life often so difficult? April 16. Why does our Christianity sometimes lack splendor? April 23, Why do Borne men grow hard as they grow older? jtp ril 30. How can we give without pauperising the needy?.- May 7. Why muBt some be masters and others servants? May H.

How can we make sure of a complete loyalty to Christ? June 11. How Is It possible for us to got rid of sin? June 18, How can we be certain of living again? II. The Summary Method. The aim In the use of this method’ is to cast up to view the lending facts mid deduce from them the leading les­ son. The following is suggested; Lesson for April 2. Jesus responded to the fervent ap peal of the Syrophenlclan woman to help her demon-possessed, dnughter. Mis sympathy Is as wide ns the race, and hls power unlimited. ' Lesson for April 0. Before going to the cross, Jesus re­ tired with his disciples to prepare them for the severe trial through which they were to pass. He Instruct­ ed them concerning hls atoning death, resurrection, -and second coming. Lesson fovApril 16. Jesus transfigured. Two men from the upper- world were sent t 1 converse with Jesus nbout Ills app oachlng death at Jerusalem, the thing about which the disciples refused to talk. Lesson for April 23. The disciples were so steeped In selfishness that they were wrangling over official position' while the Lord was facing the cross, Lesson for April 30. Jesus as a son was faithful to hls parents. In this lesson he sets forth ihe truth concerning .mnrrlnge, which is the foundation of the home. ' Lesson for May 7, , The supreme purpose of Christ’s coming Into the world was to die for the salvation of sinners. Through the cross, Judgment was passed upon the world, and Satan was cast out Lesson for May 14. Jesus entered Jerusalem and ofll-, daily presented himself as King to the Jewish nation, according to proph­ ecy. He exercised kingly authority In cursing the fig tree and driving out the money changers. . Lesson for May 21. The Pharisees, scribes, and Sad- ducees sought to entrap Jesua so as to hinder hls work, The very ones who should have welcomed him sought to destroy him. Lesson for May 28. This lesson affords a Study of a prophetic outline of events In the In­ terval between Christ’s crucifixion and Ids second coming, According to this outline the present age shows In­ creasing evidence of the near coming of the Lord. Lesson for June 4. The black crime of Jesus’ betrayal was committed Immediately following the. beautiful act of Mary’s devotion to the Lord (John 12:1). Lesson for June 11. The crucifixion of Christ is the grand climax of the lessons for the last six months, and without appre­ hending Its significance, nil other les­ sons are meaningless, Christ saves, not by hls ethical teaching, but by bis shed blood. Leeeon for June 18. The resurrection of Christ was an­ nounced by an angel, and he was aft­ erward seen by many. Conviction touching the reality of Christ's resur­ rection Is absolutely necessary In or­ der to be an effective witness for him. A - small shed scandal has broken out in Franklin county over the public relief program which only backs the general belief that politics enters into most of the so-called relief work in most places. With the federal govern­ ment, states, counties and municipal­ ities dishing out public funds little else could be expected. Gov. White has a program to increase taxes to gather several million dollars that will pass through political channels. One exposure in Franklin county is that a contractor on a state road improve­ ment under the direction of the State Highway Department has refused to pay labor and withheld several thou­ sand dollars, yet has drawn his money from the state, In the meantime through some peculiar hookup the laborers have been given public re-1 lief orders for groceries. This is the same Highway Department that is to be entrusted with the - Automobile License Bureau and the proposed so- ailed Highway Patrol, made possible by recent legislation. It is fortunate chat the citizens of Ohio are to get a vote on these two measures through a referendum in November. Both should be supported one hundred per cent. The Other Road “ A life of self effort will never reach the place where we shall glorify tjod; the other read Is a road of faith; If you wouldest believe, thou shnlt see the glory of God: let him do the.thins for us.”—Itev. Guy H. King. The weather mail reported some time ago that our rainfall had passed the seasonal average. If the present drouth keeps up another raeord willbu broken. St. John’s Gospel "St, Johh's gospel begins with the son in the bosom of the fattier (1, 18), nnd It ends with the sinner In the bos­ om of the son" (13, 23),—Mr, R.

One city hopes to get enough funds for several miles of boulevard, a civic center, a new city building and a dozen other minor projects. Another city nearby wants a conservation district created to pro­ vide flood protection. Whole counties have been asked to join in a move­ ment for flood control, People seem to have' the idea that public funds come from the ocean or an unseen lake but once this wonton spending gets under way it will not be long until the tax collector will start add­ ing a little here and there to all tax bills to provide funds to repay the government The city asking for funds for a new city hall now has a local committee ready to start a campaign to collect back taxes which amount to more than $12,000,000 in chat county. Most -cities asking for public money are now bankrupt and allowing bonds to default, yet mayors ind civic leaders plead with govern­ ment representatives for money in the name o f aiding the employment situa­ tion. We have not seen the start of what taxes will be in the next three, five or ten years. The financial plight of the cities reminds us ihat a number of mayors and city managers recently gathered in Columbus to ‘oppose a bill in the legislature that will limit the tax rate on real estate to ten or twelve mills against the fifteen mills that has been in effect for some'years. Such a bill should be passed and we predict when the voters get a chance the member of the legislature that'does not vote to give real estate some reduction, in the tax rate will not have an oppor­ tunity to return to his legislative seat. A lower tax rate on real estate will do'wonders for farm land and city property and take a burden from the backs o f the people but you do not hear o f the high salaried farm leaders ringing bells, making loud platform speeches or issuing public statements in support of this kind of relief for either farmers or urban citizens. Secretary of State George Myers has placed Gov. White and Director of Education Skinner in the ninth hole by urging a fifty-per cent reduction in the coat of school books in Ohio. Few people were aware o f It but the Governor, the Secretary of- State and Education Director set the price of school books. It has been shown that school text books cost more in Ohio than most states. Senator Ford of this district has also brought this sub­ ject to the attention of the legislature, J. B. Rife, member of the County Board of Education contends that most of the support behind the pro­ posed school laws now being consid­ ered by the legislature, whereby local control of schools is to be dropped and the State Director made the “Kingfisli,” is from the school book and school supply interests. . , State of Ohio, made at the May term Divorces national hanks and secur- thereof, A.
