Our mistakes of the past year should strengthen us to plan differently for we live in a world where much o f the old passes each year. Our experience of the past should guide us in meeting new problems and new condi­ tions. As the days grow longer the smn will shine brighter and soon we reach the period where nature arises from its slumber. In nature all things are provided. In life you never get more out of it than what you put in it. The past few years has found the world in a greatly disturbed condition with many obstacles in the path of all but individual responsibility and effort is all that will lead us out of our present condition. Give up and you are lost. Battle on and you have chance of success, Other generations have continued the fight and to them we owe much for what we have today. Let us approach the coming New Year with faith, courage and determination to carry on. BUILDING AND LOAN DECISION IMPORTANT The complicated situation in which many building and loan institutions in the state have found themselves due large­ ly to the depression, low farm prices and unemployment, has caused much concern not only to the management but to stock­ holders. , The Dayton Bar Association set out to help clear the air of so many unfounded representations and claims as to the responsibility of stockholders. Those who were familiar with the Ohio laws knew there was no statute providing for double liability such as was required for bank stockholders. Reports continue to disturb building and loan stockholders who would take the word of some speculator who wanted to purchase the stock at give away prices rather than consult association offi­ cials or a reputable attorney. ' As could be expected depositors became panic striken and in many cases sold for fifty per cent of the actual value and some less, allowing the purchaser to walk off with a fat profit. There is no way an owner,of such stock can be denied the right to sell his own holdings, but when he sold at panic prices, he was bringing injury to the standing of the association and also lowering the value of stock owned by others in the same in­ stitution. The Dayton Bar brought an action in Common Pleas Court to set a precedent and thus give stockholders more confidence. Last Saturday the Court handed down a decision which frees stockholders from any chance of double liability. The Court also handed, down decisions on questions of law concerning stockholders in institutions being liquidated. It has been unfortunate that brokers could be permitted to conduct a campaign to frighten building and loan stockhold­ ers into selling their holdings much below the actual value in order to take a handsome profit. The decision should build confidence in those who have such holdings.. If you must sell demand a price that will not represent a great loss to you. I f you want to give something of value away you will always find a willing hand to accept it. That other courts in Ohio cannot hand down conflicting opinions on this issue, the Dayton Bar Association will carry the court decision to the Court of Appeals and then to the Supreme Court. The Bar Association has performed a worthy service to all those interested in building and loan associations. A New Year’s greeting to Herald readers and patrons. Imagine yourself in the dentist chair facing the cold steel and hear the photographer’s “ look pleasant please.” We are told death and taxes are sure but you have the advantage of being informed when taxes are due. Facing the New Year with hope means much. Ambition and energy to carry on means more. Prosperity will not be left in your lap without your own effort. With the passing Of the Holiday season we next pass to a season of politics that will last several months, With the elec­ tion of a governor and senator as well as other state and county officials there will be plenty to talk about.

The wets promised i f prohibition was repealed there would be no rotaro to the old. fashioned saloon. Then came the call for a new law and.wa find the legislature wrangling for many daya. representatives out o f Sodom and Gomorrah, Cleveland and Cincinnati, fighting for the old time saloon and opposed the state control plan backed by not only the state administration but religious and educational organ­ izations. The law passed plans state control but during the next few weeks until the state board can get “ the liquor business” established in every county, drug stores with federal per­ mits are to dish out the Christmas cheer to those who wanted to cele­ brate, So far as we can learn there has been no great rush oh- the part of druggists to take out the special permits or even patrons seeking some­ thing stronger titan 3.2 beer. before ether departments art provid- jdoing away with any state tax on real ed for. Maintaining credit it just as estate. The loss will made up by a What we discover now is that most of the hard liquor offered by drug­ gists is little better than the “alley brand of com liquor’ 1 that has been sold in every county by bootleggers. A Cleveland newspaper made several purchases and had samples o f the drug store liquor analysed at Case School of Applied Science and found out that all o f it was either cut, blended or a mixture o f ingredients. One sample showed a large per cent of a poison. If this is to be a sample of what drinkers are to face, boot­ leg liquor may be the best after all. important kith a taxing district as with the individual or industrial cor­ poration. Sven churches or educa­ tional institutions cannot afford t o ! ignore financial obligations. Payment o f debts is not only required by law but when a moral obligation is vio­ lated by a taxing district, church or educational institution, then you have the foundation laid for a complete breakdown in our government. Under the Volstead Jaw newspapers were denied postal rights if they car­ ried liquor advertisements. Now that prohibition is a thing o f the past liquor advertising becomes permissible but we notice by trade publication that many o f the wettest daily papers will not take whiskey advertising. Some will admit advertising o f wine and most ail daily papers have used beer advertising, We notice where Dr. Daniel V. Poling, noted prohibi­ tion crusader, is organizing the drys to boycott* newspapers that carry any kind o f liquor advertising. Tak­ ing Ohio for example, where we are most familiar, what daily paper can a conscientious dry subscribe for that does not carry liquor advertising? The boycott© will not hit many week­ ly papers in Ohio but it will be in­ teresting to see the list o f daily papers, toJw found that have not or are not now carrying some kind of liquor advertising. With Ohio' wet by nearly a million the daily papers will probably ignore the hoycotte. . It has been suggested that in as much as we are to have guaranteed bank deposits Uncle Sam should get out o f the postal banking business and turn back the one billion eight hun­ dred million dollars in postal savings to the depositors. Most o f this would find its way back to banks to be loan­ ed to individuals on proper security. Industrial corporations could be re­ financed where necessary.

While the plan is a new feature it comes as a result of so msny bank failures over the nation the past few years, especially last year and this. Banks contribute one- fourth percent on insurable deposits the Federal Reserve 131 million and the Federal government 150 million to the guaranty fund. The law is new and may need some changes after it is in operation to determine the weak spots. It is a sad commentary that we must force banks that have been un usually well managed to submit to a plan of this kind to force those who are not so careful to keep their house in order. State banks have been given too much rope and allowed to do as they please. The failure among na­ tional banks in many cases can be traced to trust companies that were so controlled but did nothing but a speculative or brokerage .business.
