Entered at the Post Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 31,1887, as second class matter. __ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1933 NOT THE THOMPSON THE PULPIT KNEW It is seldom you hear much criticism of the NRA or the purpose of the Recovery Act, most everyone being willing to give up personal views that the law could have a fair test. However from many quarters there is much comment, some outspoken, more by whispering, as to the ruthless manner in which the law is being enforced. One of the traits of the American people is that they are willing to be lead but only under the most unusual circumstances will they be driven. The news item concerning the action of the Columbus Compliance Board of which Dr. W. 0; Thompson, former president of Ohio State University, is chairman, will hardly impress those who in the past have known the Dr. in the pupit, on the platform or in the classroom as broadminded; sympathetic, a living example of the teachings and precipts of the One he would have the world emulate. But compare the Thompson of the past with the Thomp­ son in the new role when he refuses to recognize the state­ ment©that a firm is loosing $500 a month. He suggests that the patrons be gouged by higher prices to overcome the loss at a time when public patronage is least able to pay the in­ crease. If not, using his own words, “it looks as if you’ll have to go to the wall.” Following that line of reason the 25 employees in the restaurant would be without jobs, while the NRA was created to not only make secure present jobs, but more employment. We have heard the Doctor several times from the pulpit and from the platform but never before have, we heard him advocate such principles or expound such doctrine. ■As head of the leading educational institution in the state we could hardly imagine the Doctor passing judgment on the young student that he never would be a Socrates, a Lincoln or a Moody and should return to plow corn. The -Thompson Ohio has known in the past was that'the young student was fitted to find his place in the world. Certainly the Thompson of today would not have Ohio know that he has laid aside his early Chrisitian training and ideals'of Muskingum College to. serve an arrogant rule of mamon and crush the defenseless. I f so, NRA will fail, as it should, whei\,trusted to such hands. ARE SAVINGS NO LONGER SAFE? The mania for originating new tax methods to pay for governmental extravagance, reached a peak in New York City with a proposal to pick out a handful of business for a new brand of class taxation. The financial, real estate, insurance, savings bank and public utility worlds were astounded. The proposal would tax life insurance, for example, “one quarter of one per cent of such portion of the value of its total capital, investment and gross assets as shown by its books as •its receipts on account of policies of insurance in the City of New York bear to its total receipts.” This is inequitable taxation of funds held in trust, for mil­ lions of people. The great proportion of life insurance policyholders are persons of small means. Life insurance is often their only safe­ guard for families and dependents. But politicians point to the accumulated savings of these small policyholders pooled in an insurance company, and say, “Let’s tax this rich corporation.” They do not tell the people that such a plan is an installment method of destroying savings of the masses. Supposing other cities and states adopted the tactics pro posed in New York Gity. What would happen to the savings of the nation? One hesitates to; conjecture. Have we reached a point where no investment is sacred; where politicians can confiscate private funds to fill public treasuries which their mad schemes have depleted? Unless such class legislation and confiscatory taxation of private savings and investments, are stopped in this nation, private, property rights, that great heritage of American citizens, will have disappeared. TIME TO FIGHT Th& time has come when the intelligence of the country mush speak its mind on the question of currency inflation, and speak it forcibly. It can no longer, it seems to this newspaper, stand by and permit the impression to gain ground in Washing­ ton that the Pittmans, the Thomases, the Bankheads and others of their kind are representative of the' responsible and thinking mass, of opinion in the nation, .There can be no question that those who understand mon­ etary matters and who are familiar with the history,of previous experiments in currency inflation are irreconcilably opposed to subjecting the country to the grave dangers inherent in these fatuous proposals. Unlike the inflationists, however, this great body of thoughtful citizens lacks, at the present time, the lead­ ership and the organization* that are essential if it hopes suc­ cessfully to combat the uninformed but highly articulate propa­ ganda of those who would resort to the printing press. Any counter-movement launched against the inflationists should be non-partisan politically and should have leadership in which people could place confidence. Its objectives should be two: first, to educate the public in the dahgers and fallacies that underlie demands for paper money inflation; second, to organize informed opinion so that the latter would make itself effectively felt in Washington. Those who do not already realize it should be made to understand that there is no more vicious illusion in the world than the illusion that a shortage of money can be remedied by placing an official stamp on paper and declaring that "such paper shall have a stated value. During every paper-money inflation of the past, whether one takes the case of the French assignats, the German marks or our own greenbacks, the result has always been the same; the faster the paper was printed, •the greater and the more poignant the cry of a “shortage of currency." The reason for this is, of course, that such paper depreciates in value much faster than the printing press can produce new supplies. This is the essential fallacy of paper- money schemes. It is this fallacy which makes paper-money inflation, as an emiment German authority, Dr. Peter Reinhold, has put it, “the most terrible thing that can happen to any civilized state," But it is the record of inflation of the currency that its evils do not end with art eccentuation of the problem that it is ex­ pected to remedy. In the process it works an inequitable and a cruel redistribution of a country’s wealth. As one historian has trenchantly written, “It leads to the absorption of the means of the workingman and the man of small fortune; it impoverishes men living on fixed incomes, salaries or wages, and creates on the ruins of this large group a small class of debauched speculators, the most injurious class that a nation can harbor- 7 -more injurious than professional criminals, whom the law can reach and throttle; it stimulates production at.fi^st, and leaves every industry prostrate afterward; it breaks down the idea of thrift and develops social and political"immorality." We Warit no experiments of that sort in the United States. But there is grave danger that we may have them forced upon us if those who are aware of their hidden dangers do not make their opinions felt. Friends of sound money cannot afford to permit an issue fraught)with such grave economic and social consequences to go by default. —New York Herald-Tribune. UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL!

A few days later Taft informs the Governor that he does not care to serve in such a capacity and intimates that he wilt oppose any relief for real estate in the way of a lower tax limit. He also says that those who favor the change sould shoulder the responsi­ bility of setting up the new legisla­ tion. A year ago when classification was under fire in the courts in Hamilton county the county commissioners naked Taft to appear in support of the law, but he declined. Later the Supreme Court punctured the law in the interest of the larger counties. With the years of Taft's service in the House and Senate he never was known to exhibit any degree of sym­ pathy or interest in anything of in­ terest to the rural counties of the state. He did take enough interest in the legislation to see that certain interests were granted protection and given lower tax rates, Classification has done more to muddle Ohio taxing districts than anything known in the history of the state.
