We read a statement some days ago that more than 700 bond issues, past due, are delinquent on interest ■ or coupon payments. . , . J . I Rarely a day goes by but what we hear o f complaints that ] various taxing districts are negligent or defaulting on bonds and interest. With the public mind centered on restoiing the purchasing power o f the people now is the time when the Gov-, emor should take the lead and ask the legislature to put some teeth in the present laws to compel payment o f bonds and in­ terest before any other obligation is to be met. It has been reported that numerous municipalities are mak­ ing no attempt to pay their bonded debt. The same is said' of schools and certain counties. Thousands of individuals own such bonds. Estates are tied up due to the bond situation and many an elderly couple dependent on bond interest payments are in want, due to nonpayment of coupon interest. To meet the debt of a taxing.district is just as important as for the individual. The state of Ohio owns probably several million dollars in bonds issued by different tax districts. To permit taxing districts to default with the individual bond own­ er is but paving the way when the teachers' retirement fund and workman’s compensation fund will be short millions of dollars.. ' ^ We have always maintained that defaulting a bond, or any other obligation, was about the worst black mark that could be put against either a public taxing district o f private individual. To call the legislature in session and make no pro­ vision whereby public officials must be forced to meet bond and interest payments first, is but the stepping stone for a wide­ spread default of all bonds owned by the state. We should not like to see this happen but unless the individual owner is given some protection, we say default first on each bond issue now held by the state of Ohio for. any purpose. Such tactics are of the boycott variety but the state should take the lead, if not. then it must take what follows, along with the individual. The Governor has the opportunity of taking an advanced step, and he alone will be held accountable as the coming session will likely be confined to tax problems under his call. . WHO IS THE SANTA CLAUS? A lot of people have come to look upon Uncle Sam as a financial Santa Cluas. - They forget that every dollar that he gives to his children has to first be| taken away from those children in the form of taxes. It is just beginning to percolate into the people’s minds that the $3,300,000,000 public works program is going to have to be taken from them, the taxpayers. Every community is clamoring for a share of this fund and although the government gives 30 per cent outright of sums alloted to projects which it approves, the remaining 70 per cent must be returned by additional tax levies in every political sub-division obtaining a loan. The 30 per cent that is given outright must be dug up by all the people for the favored section to, which it is given.. The public works program, which has been passed as an emergency measure in time of stress, must of necessity increase the burden o f the taxpayers, unless Ways and means are, found to cut government costs in some manner, sufficiently to off-set this new expense, It is well for the people to begin to understand that each citizen is a separate Santa Claus, who pays for every “ gift" presented to him by his government. OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING Property owners who have been planning to repair old structures or build new ones better get busy unless they wish to pay heavily for delay. With better crop prices, heavy public expenditures for bridges, roads, public buildings, etc., it is not difficult to imagine rapid improvement in the employment situation and commodity price levels. Cement, lumber, painty structural steel, electrical equip­ ment and all manner o f building supplies will probably never again, in a generation at least, be at the bargain counter prices we have been witnessing. Today property owners can improve an old building or build a new one, from concrete foundation to fire-resisting roof, at record low figures. There is abundant labor, both skilled and unskilled. It seems cer­ tain that the foregoing combination of circumstances is doomed. The investor in construction activity today not only gets double return for his money, but helps to start normal employ­ ment in the wage and price structures, which will rebound in benefits to himself in better business and rental values. Remember that investment and employment are cheap­ er and better than charity. PROFESSIONAL CLASS NOT ON PREFERRED LIST While speed ahead is the command under the Recovery Act and business o f all kinds, as well as labor, is being taken care of, the question comes up in most every quarter as to what is to become of the professional classes? Mihisters, pro­ fessors, educators, along with many others have no place in the new scheme. Most of the people in the professions have taken heavy cuts in salaries, in- fact salary has been no con­ sideration. With ministers it was take what was handed them. Now that prices o f all commodities are rising daily and no provision being made whereby these classes can be restored to at least the level o f artisians, how are they to meet the new conditions? But the problem of the professional class is no more serious than to the business man. He must stock his shelves with high­ er priced goods. Must pay his help in most instances more money, He iff to be held down under the fair trade practice. I f the public fails to respond to this patriotic appeal, what is to become of the business man also? THE NEW AGRICULTURAL ERA It would be an interesting thing if a farmer of thirty years ago could be suddenly transported to the Chicago World’s Fair and shown the model exhibit for electricity at work in agri­ culture. As the saying goes, his eyes would pop out. He would see chickens treated with ultra violet rays, and their hours of rest and work controlled by light. Cows in a scientifically built lactery are automatically washed and then milked by sanitary, efficient electric equipment. Electric cooling and bottling equipment has superceded old hand methods. There are no hay lofts in the modem barn—-instead, a large new type silo, a silo within a silo stores both ensilage and dry feed and re­ duces fire hazards. Two small structures store grain which is transported by electric conveyor systems. In the fields o f this farm, he would see still more startling things. Even the tractor, thought up-to-date a short time ago, has.been dispensed with, its place taken by an electric cable plough which makes its way about the field carrying its own selfwinding cable. There are no power poles to interfere with Work or mar the farm’s appearance— all the distributional lines are underground. As a matter o f fact, the farmer of thirty years ago would not be the only one to stare with unbelieving eyes at the ex­ hibit, Today’s average farm is still wasteful and inefficient, ex­ acting a miximum o f hard labor for a minimum of result. The exhibit at the world’s fair shows what the farm of the future will be like In a really “ new agricultural era,” WMini..M il ’*■ 'IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson ItmUtUtO or CiliCNTO-) „ . fe 1933, Western Ntwiwpar Union, Lesson for August 6 RUTH LESSON TEXT—Ituth OOLDEN TEXT—Beloved, let U* love one another: fo r love 1a of God; and every one that loveth U horn of God, and- knoweth God. 1 John 4:7.

However, far con venlenco the lesson text which Is to be printed has been confined to the first chapter, verses 6-19. I. Ruth's Connection With the Jew­ ish Nation (1:1-5). 1. The sojourn In Moab (vy, 1-3). On account of famine in Bethlehem of Judah, Elinielech with Naomi, his wife, and their two sons sojourned In the land. During this sojourn Dll raelech. died, leaving Naomi, the wld ow, to care for two fatherless sons. 2. The marriage of the two sons (v, 4). During the sojourn the two sons fell In love with and married JMoabltlsh women named Orpah and Ruth, Fo'r God’s chosen people even to sojourn in the world exposes them to the likelihood. of Intermarriage of the members of the family with the people of the world. 3. The death of the sons (v. 5), In a brief time, three widows were left in the one family relation. This fam ily went to Moab to escape trouble only to have their trouble* greatly In creased. When God's people go into the world to escape difficulties they are sure to suffer In consequence. II. Naomi’s Return to the Land of Judah (vv. 6-14). 1 Because of the chastisement that was sent upon Naoi^i, she resolved to return to her country. The purpose of God’s chastisement Is to cause his children to return unto him. When the time came for Naomi to i co, Ruth and Orpah accompanied her for a distance. This she permitted. ■ but deetrmined to place before them frankly the difficulties that would con , front them. Having laid the matters before them, she urged them to turn back. As much as Naomi loved her daughters-in-law. she would not have therii go with her without knowing fully what their decision meant III. Ruth's Noble Choice (vv. 16-18) Tills choice on her part meant : 1. No chance to marry again. In that day to be unmarried . was the greatest . disgrace. Furthermore, it was against God’s law for the Jews to marry outside of their own people. 2. She must renounce her gods. Idolatrous worship could hot be car­ ried on In the land where God’s peo pie dwelt This was delicately touched upon by Naomi when Orpah went back (v. 15). Orpah went back when It was plain that there was no chance to marry again. At this time Nnomi put an additional test upon Ruth, that of giving up her religion. Ruth was equal to the occasion. Her mind was fully made up. Her very expressions have come down to us in words which “ no poetry has outri­ valed, and no pathos has exceeded, and which have gone through centur­ ies With the music that will not let them be forgotten,” She was deter­ mined to share Naomi’s Journey, her home, her God, her lot In life and her grave Jn death, whatever thnt would he. It meant that she would renounce her heathen gods, and worship Je­ hovah, IV. Bletting* Which Attended Ruth’e Choice (chaps. 2-4). 1. She found the truo God (1:16). Instead of her heathen gods who were unable to help her, she now had a liv­ ing God—the God of Israel. 2. She found human friends (chap. 2). As she went to glean she was led to the field of Boaz. a man o f wealth and grace. The servants treated her with consideration. Even Boaz gave Instructions for special consideration to be given her. 3. A good husband and a happy home (chaps. 3, 4). She not only se­ cured a husband, but a man of God who had an abundance of this world's goods, 4. An honored place in the Israel- ltlsh nation (4:13-17). Though she had to forsake her own people, she became one of a nobler people. 5. She became a link In the chain of Christ's ancestry (4 :lS-22, cf. Matt. 1:5), The one who fully decides for Christ pod gives up all for him shall receive a hundredfold In this life, and In the world to come eternal life. The Holy Spirit There Is only one Inlet of power in the life; Just ono inlet—the H(#y Spirit. He Is power. To yield to his mastery, to cultivate his friendship, to give him full swing—thnt will result in what is called power. One inlet of power—the Holy Spirit in control. Facing Wrong Way The man who becomes a Christian because he confirms the faith of his fathers may be on the right way, but he Is not fncing In the right direction. 32.00 will start you out for fire and theft, wind storm and hail, and then t little over a penny per day will carry 100 per cent protection on your car.

Inquire as where it can be seen and price at this office, member of the Ohio legislature and author o f part o f our gasoline tax laws, came to grip over the proposed ten mill limitation for Teal estate taxes. Both have Worked together side by side for many years but they are on opposite aides o f the tax limit­ ation proposal. Last week we had a letter from Dyer urging farmers that had signed the petitions to write to the Secretary of State and have their names withdrawn. the lake is now a busy concourse for dealers in pedestrian and automobile traffic, all have paid landscaped in a beautiful -park. In­ stead o f the Take coming up to the railroad tracks it is now about six squares away. Filling up/S hundred acres o f the lake is no problem nowa­ days. Practically every foot o f the exposition grounds is on ground created by. filling in the lake. Sullivan in his letter sent out over the name of P, A, Howell, head of the Ohio Taxpayers’ League, takes Dyer to task for his attack on the ten mill limit proposition. He also makes public the vote of the twenty- three directors o f the Ohio Farm Bureau on this question as being U favorable and 12 opposed to reducing the tax rate -on real estate. He also says all eleven o f these Farm Bureau directors are securing names to petitions . Sullivan uses no gloves when he attacks Dyer’s public record in the communication. I f Sullivan wants to giye the public something interesting he should uncover the campaign in Ohio in support of classi­ fication of property for taxation. Fooling the people- has been an art the past few years but it has also been profitable to many o f those in­ terested. The . real reason why Dyer and Palmer as well as other farm politic ians are so interested in checking the change in real estate tax limitation from fifteen mills to ten mills, is that many a-member of. their organization that is now enjoying a salary out of public funds, might be dropped in case there was a retrenchment program Farm leaders have in the past work­ ed with the leaders o f both the political parties and as a result must take dictation from state politicians, The management o f the county fairs in this state have not yet been convinced that to make a success of a county fair it would be necessary to sell gambling permits or allow the sale o f beer. Under Ohio, laws race gambling has been legalized under certain conditions and restrictions, ten per cent o f the profit to go to the state. Beer being legalized would be permitted also. The sporting element no doubt would Welcome' legalized betting on the plea that a certain amount o f illegal betting has been in­ dulged . in at every county fair for years.

One of the sticking points in all lilies of busi­ ness and industry is as to how many hours a proprietor can work in his own place of business, With some of the codes the proprietor is to be listed on the same basis as other labor. Most business houses under the new codes will not be able to re­ main open as many hours as in the past, Many city stores will not open until 9:30 in the morning.
