FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1933 COUNTY HOME RULE TO FACE VOTE It is almost certain that the County Home Rule initiative will go on the ballot this fall for consideration of the voters. It will be one of several proposals that electors must ignore or make decision on. The so-called Home Rule change is a dream of certain city politicians who are desirous of throwing most all the government of a single county in one group. In other words, the village, township, school district could be wiped out and the county operated as a unit. To sugar coat a suspicious proposition it is heralded as an economy plan and the public will in the next few weeks hear much about it. Such promises are no more to be considered seriously than were those made by the classificationists a few years ago. What the politicians want is to breakdown the power of the rural counties in the state and this desire is just as much in evidence in Republican ranks as with the Dem­ ocratic bosses. The people are certainly tired of centralized control of government from Columbus now. School policy and costs, road building and upkeep, municipal affairs are more or less dictated from a throne in. Columbus. Each year sees the hand of some state board or commission pressing on the iinalier tax­ ing districts just a bit harder. Under the Home Rule plan of county government these state boards would have easy sail­ ing and the property owner would have no opportunity for a hearing. We are tending to autocratic power in both state and nation and this is what County Home Rule government proposes with the county as the. unit. Set your face against it today and next November. 13-MONTH YEAR MAY BE NECESSARY The proposal of labor leaders in Washington to reduce the work-week to 35 hours with higher wages may be the break­ down of the NRA program if it is forced on industry. The bitter fight being conducted in code hearings over the unionism of industrial plants and the right of the management to pro­ mote or dismiss on merit is a delicate situation. The higher the wages, the shorter the working week, the higher the cost of all. food and comodities will be and can the buying public absorb this abnormal cost. We realize wage increase will greatly aid in restoring, the purchasing power of the people but when operation costs force up prices beyond the purchasing power of the public, the whole economic plan will coilapse. Unionized labor while it runs into millions in this country is but a small part of the whole labor fabric from farm, store, counting house to factory. All ready many factories are feeling the pinch of overhead due to the fact that the volumn of business is not great enough to ab­ sorb the extra overhead cost. As to shortening the work-week to 35 hours there would be just as much reason to make it 24 hours.. Labor is simply trifling with a dangerous proposition, one that would penalize unorganized labor that could not enjoy the short hours and higher pay for at that stage industrial plants would follow the safest course and close down. Under a 35-hour week we might be forced to adopt not only a 13-month year but one of 15 months. PETITIONS FOR TAX LIMIT Petitions have been in circulation the past week in different parts of the county seeking signers to get the ten mill limitation tax rate on the ballot this fall. The present rate is fifteen"mills. This move is sponsored by a state organisation because the present state Administration has checked every move made to' force reduction in government cost. Petitions with .265,000 names were filed some weeks ago but different boards of elec­ tions in the state have thrown out thousands of names for one reason or another. The petitions now in circulation are to get additional names. Those who have had a part in this move­ ment report the greatest interest on the part of citizens. One man reports that he received one hundred signatures in about a half a day and but one man refused to sign it. Not only rural counties interested in this reduction but cities as well. We un­ derstand that Dayton has already furnished 48,000 names. State politicians are alarmed both Republican and Democratic leaders will do all they can to defeat the movement. If a square count is possible, the ten mill limitation1will be adopted by the largest vote ever given an initiated measure placed before the voters in the state. ■ - CUBA PRESIDENTS DON’T LAST LONG Since the recent revolution in Cuba the term of a president is measured by days, not weeks or months or years. The is­ land under the Platt treaty is more or less under the care of this country, yet permitted to have its own republican form of government, The economical situation in Cuba is even worse than this country and thousands are on the verge of starvation. The main crop is cane sugar that has gone to waste due to the fact that the U. S. tariff has shut out most of the Cuban sugar. While it is cheaper in that country than ever before it is selling at a fancy price here. Congress tried to protect the beet sugar interests in this country but beet sugar does not measure up to cane sugar in quality, When Cuba cannot sell sugar to us she is no longer in the market for oUr American made goods. We have been her best customei in the past and she has recognized the principal of reciprocity with this country until the last tariff law was enacted. BANK PRISONER HAS LARK Things must be pretty rosy with the White administration when Clarence A. Dorger, former Cincinnati banker serying time in the pen, has. been permitted to meet his wife and friends at various times at a hotel in Lancaster, O. He had been assign­ ed to the state brick plant at Junction City and was supposed to be a trusty. Moreover he has been attending prize fights in Cleveland and baseball games at Columbus. A parole had been granted to be effective Sept. 15 but this has been recalled for six months. ' Why not a code for the bridge players. After all birth control in the pig lot may yet be a reality.

We all can pass judgment on who should and should not pay the added taxes but it is our opinion that what ever tax is levied no matter where, all the people will pay it in some form .

However corporation taxes whether through phone service or the overall manufacturer, are handed down to the consumer in some form.

When that day arrives on tax problems we all would be con­ scious of the rights of the other fellow. . ery. in the United States be compelled to close down for one year out of seven to hold down the tonnage on cold storage butter, We are surely getting inflation ideason a broad scale in this country, most of which may be more detrimental than with the in­ flation of money. Here, is one creamery operator who is closing down his plant on account of the NRA. The Pearsall Butter Co., Elgin, 111., by its president, B. A. Pearsall, who says: “I have, not sign­ ed with the NRA because I believe individualism is the best qualification We find in this statement the com­ pany excise tax increased nearly $400,000 in 1932 over the preceeding for the operation of a business and {year. Federal taxes increased‘about that any one in Washington, no mat- $124,000 over the 3 ame period. The ter how well qualified, cannot run total taxes in all forms increased businesses from that distance." "Thq NRA will put the small fellow out of business. No independent or individual can live under the code. I don’t believe a single code has been adopted voluntarily.. It is all coercion and fear, bluff and boycott. Since, my business would be affected by four codes, we are going out of business .rntil this blows over.” In Republican circles there is much much comment as jto what has become of Republican leaders with the NRA program. In certain more or less secluded spots some leaders and con­ gressmen try to .uphold the NRA but in confidential conversations take the opposite aide. Lack of backbone is the reason in most cases but we must not overlook the fact th a t many of our leading Republican congressmen and senators are under obligation to big business and draw stipends equal to their official salaries. Other Repub­ lican leaders are looking for a retain­ er hookup and are keeping quiet. Senator Schall, Minneapolis, was the first to break out when General John­ son attacked Henry Ford. Schall offered to defend Ford. Senator Hat­ field, West Virginia, called for a- bandoment .of this “ghastly folly of industrial regimentation," charging it had precipitated a “paradise of pro­ fiteering." Big business has not lost' anything yet by the NRA program. Merchants that have goods of any kind on hand that has cotton in it have been busy weighing the various items to report to the government under the processing tax law. It matters not whether it is cotton in underwear, overalls or cotton thread in rubber tires, Uncle Sam is eollect- -ing the tax from dealers. Even the Horse collar pad must be included a- ‘long with the cotton glove. The tax !is four and one-half cents a pound. ‘This tax goes to pay cotton producers for reducing their crop just as the 'processing tax on flour goes to pay the wheat producer for his crop. This naturally is forcing up the price of .commodities. For instance overalls Ithat formerly retailed at 90 cents a -pair now cost wholesale $17.50 in­ cluding the tax. P a rt of this increas­ e d cost is higher wages in factories 'making overalls. ! FOR SALE—About 75 bushels of good rye or will exchange for seed wheat Call I. C.
