FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1933 BATTLE RAGES OVER LIQUOR CONTROL The Ohio legislature is involved in a terrific battle as to whether Ohio is to control the liquor traffic or whether liquor is to control the state. One of the promises made by the wets was that we would never again have the old-time saloon if the state was taken out from under prohibition. The electors evidently took the promise for what it was worth and the wets won by a big vote. Now the brewers and distillers are in a fight to get the advantage with the leaders of the two dominant political parties struggling for the same control. The brewers want to be let alone and permitted to operate as at present. The distillers are demanding open sale of whiskey by licensed dealers. This means the return of the saloon. From many quarters including numerous clergymen and nine out of ten of the daily papers in the state, there is a demand for the White administration state monopoly plan whereby the state would operate stores and take the profit and sales only in the original package. If sold by the glass only hotels, restaurants and private clubs to be licensed. - At this time it is uncertain what the legislature will do yet the prediction is being made that the state control plan will eventually be adopted. Senator Bulkley has injected his influence behind the state control plan in as much as he cam paigned for prohibition repeal with a promise of no saloon. It has been a long time since any Ohio legislature has been under pressure from various interests as in this fight. In as much as the wets are divided there is to be many sore spots that will not soon heal. AFTER LIQUOR THEN COMES TAXES When the Ohio legislature finishes legislation as to con­ trol of how hard liquor is to be sold in the state it will adjourn only to be called back soon after the first of the year to revamp or find anew plan for collecting revenue, not only'for the state but each taxing district as well* The old system has completely broken down and it was this situation that had much to do with adoption of the ten mill limitation for real estate. Each taxing district under the amendment to tine constitution will be completely broke unti the legislature finds new means of raising revenue. One of the lessons from the tax limitation for real estate was that property owners expected a reduction in state gov­ ernment costs. We do not believe the public will be satisfied with anything else. We have certain functions in the state that must .go on at any cost within reason. The first is police pro tection as well as fire and health protection. Then comes the schools that are more necesshry today than in the past. There has been much criticism of the conduct of the schools in the state and the enormous cost attached to it. We will never see the day when we will go back to the standard of twenty-five years ago and few want to take such a step backwards. But there are numerous things that might be eliminated under pre­ sent business conditions to aid in reducing the tax burden. Probably the reason why the school question is discussed the most is because the system spends the most of each tax dollar. In this the average citizen is responsible because he has not paid close enough attention to what was-taking place. One reason why school costs have mounted has been the waste in buildings in localities where one building would do what probably two or three are doing today. Another fault has been in the school patrons letting control pass from local boards to. a central authority in Columbus. The same complaint will be heard in years to come when county Home Rule is in.full swing. With central control in Columbus the school book, material and supply interests have been enabled to saddle all sorts' of frills on the schools. The lobby around each legislature for these interests shows they are on the job while Mr. Average Citizen has been asleep. It has been the plan of various or­ ganizations to .“create a demand” for these things through parent-teacher organizations. If you doubt this statement in quire of anyone fully acquainted with the activity of the state parent-teachers’ association. It has had more to do with heap­ ing school costs on the taxpayers than any organization we know of. It has been the vehicle behind which the school book, material and supply interests have ridden for years. State departments are loaded with thousands of political appointees that have little or nothing to' do but draw salaries for faithful service to political bosses. There can be tax reduc tions without serious injury to the state or schools but the pub­ lic should first realize what has been behind the building of the tax burden of which all complain. -WANTED—MEN. The editor of the Los Angeles Times preached a sermon the other day in his paper, equal almost, to the Sermon on the Mount. Nevefc, in all the history of the world, Was the demand for real men, sun-crowned and above the selfish and sordid things of earth, so insistent as at this very moment. The real problem of the present, is moral and spiritual, he says. Recovery in America today is in the realm of spiritual .dynamics rather than mechanics; in the realm of faith rather than that of finance. Integrity and honesty must come before profit. And then he goes on impressively; The big war was caused by the Collapse of national char­ acter. That war, as every war, was followed by a letdown in individual morals, While 1929 is regarded as the peak of prosperity, it was also the nadir of ideals. The financial and political panic came because men lost confidence in each other. What price prosperity! Our want-ad columns are filled; “Wanted-—Money;” —“Wanted—Job;”—"Wanted—A Car;” “Wanted—Health;” “Wanted—Travel;” “Wanted—Agents;” “Wanted—Apart­ ments;” “Wanted—Diamonds.” Wanted—Everything—but character! And yet what we need is men who will keep their contracts, though they go to the county farm; men who will not stand up the first day of the week and profess—and then melt and run down into a puddle the second day. . j , , Two-legged creatures are very plentiful; but men are very scarce, wrote Herodotus some thousands of years ago. “Wanted —A man” is the sign still out in this year of 1933. Along with all the codes, we need a code for character, a code that keeps a man human, snug to his ideals, a code for service, not profit. , Wanted—A corporation organized of the best to give the most for the least! Wanted—A trade union of the most skilled to produce the largest at the lowest! Wanted—A renaissance of character; notJess cotton nor fewer hogs, but more outstanding, upstanding men! —Western Star, Lebanon, IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAYI chool Lesson (By REV. P. B.

His object so far as the Roman church was concerned was twofold. First, that he might Impart to them some spiritual gift, to the end that the? might be established. Second, that he might be comforted by their fellowship. His vision no doubt extended be­ yond the Roman church. His hope was that from that metropolis the gos­ pel might -find Its way to all parts of the world. 1. Paul's Voyage to Rome (Acts 27). L The Bhtp (vv. 1-6). It was a vessel of Alexandria sailing from Myra to Italy. 2. The company (vv. 1, 2). Two of Paul’s friends, Aristarchus and Luke, were permitted to go with- him. Be­ sides these three there were two hun­ dred and seventy-three In the - ship (v. 37). 8. Overtaken by a storm (vv. 7-20). Paul hud advised that they spend the winter In Fair Havens, (vv. 8-12) but his advice was not heeded. The gen­ tle south wind deceived them so they loosed from Crete,, only to be over­ taken by the tempestuous wind called Huroclydon. They did everything pos­ sible to save the ship. 4. Paul’s serene faith (vv.21-26). (a) His rebuke for failure to heed Ills advice (v. 21)., This was more than a taunt, it was a reminder of the wisdom of his former advice urg­ ing them to give to him a respectful hearing.. i (b) Bids them to.be Of good cheer (v. 22). (c) Promises them safety (v. 22). He assured them that though the ship: would go to pieces, every man's life would be saved.. < (d) The source of bis Information (vv. 23, 24). U. was revealed unto him by the angel of God. (e) The reason for Paul's faith (v. 23). The consciousness of having been chosen by God and being engaged In bis service enabled him in the midst of the most violent storm to rest In God. 5. The ship's crew all safe on land (Acts 27:27-8:10). This was exactly as the Lord had promised. (a) The hospitable reception by the natives (v. 2). They built a fire >and made the shipwrecked people as comfortable as possible In the cold and rain. (b) Paul gathering stick* for the lire (v. 3). In this he was like his . Master, ministering rather than being ministered unto. (c) Paul bitten by a poisonous ser­ pent (v. 3). Among the sticks gath­ ered there was a serpent. When warmed by the Are this serpent darted at Paul and fixed Its fangs upon his hand. At first the natives thought he was an escaped murdeer and that retributive Justice was being meted out to him. When they saw he was not harmed they concluded he was a god. (d) Paul heals Publius' father (vv. 7-10). He now reciprocated the kind­ ness of these people. Others - came also for healing. II. Paul's Arrival at Rom* (28: 11-16). 1. Tarrying with the brethren at Puteoll (vv. 11-14). 2. Met by brethren from. Rome, (v. 15). They came some forty milts to meet him. This greatly encouraged him and moved him to give thanks to God. 3. Living in bis own hired house (v. 16). He was treated with great leniency, being allowed to live apart in his own hired house even though he was constantly under guard. III. Paul's Ministry In Rom* (17- 31). 1. HIs conference with the leading Jews (17-22). He did not wait for the Sabbath day to speak to the Jews, but after a three days' rest he called the chief Jews together in order to hare a fair understanding with them. 2, Paul expounding the kingdom of God and persuading concerning Jesus (23-31). He pointed out a real king- dom with the historic JesuS as King. To Paul the kingdom meant a definite reign of a definite person, not merely an improved state of society.. Last week the government called to r the sale of 009 million dollars in bonds and tha issue was over sub­ scribed three times. In other words there were eltiaana in the country, that ware willing to invest two billion and its broad interpretation there could be no prosecutions of traffic light violations in villages, However there is another view. The street going through Englewood was put down and paid for by the state and under state control. It is now held thftt villages that have paid for their own streets are not under state con­ trol and are not affected by the high court decision.

Now cornea Henry Ford who urges his 7,009 sale*, representatives in the nation to get behind the Roosevelt ad­ ministration aricT pu t all their force behind his recovery program. While he did not mention the NRA it must be taken that h e included this pro­ gram.

The steel tru st has signed the code for another year stating they are pleas­ ed with present results, The .steel executives did not sign the first time until many verbal combats were en­ gaged in on both sides. Is i t any wonder the ordinary citizen is con­ fused and unable to get, his hearings on these economic problems? Com­ pare a speech by fien.

In the tformer he urged support Of the administration and in the latter attacked i t Where docs the Senator atand? Association. While the gold atandard may have its place in our reconstruction period in such sections as Greene county the average citizen is more interested just now in the price of hogs and corn. Below cost price for hogs and corn not on the profit side farmers are hit hard* Since the second section of the processing tax has gone on hogfe the price haa dropped wfhich looks like the packers were making the feeders pay the tax yet the re­ tail price of pork is fa r out of line with the price paid feeders. I t is no uncommon thing in reviewing the market to find the price of hogs re­ duced and the same day the price of dressed pork in the wholesale market is raised as much as one dollar a hundred. Then you hear it said the processing tax is responsible. We hardly see how the tax can be ab­ sorbed by a reduction in the farmer's price for hogs end again added on dressed meat, Mayor Harry Davis, Cleveland, is bagging state support and financial relief on a plea that his city is flat broke. I t is said that the delinquent tax in Cuyahoga county including the city of Cleveland will reach twenty million dollars. While economic con­ ditions have probably not been any worse in that city than other parts of the state there are some other things that may be responsible for the city’s plight, It must be remem­ bered that politics of the vicious type has ruled the city and county .for years and it was only within the past year that a shortage of several hun­ dred thousand dollars was found in the county treasurer's office. In addi­ tion it is said taxes were paid with "rubber" checks in many instances, property owners in the organization taking advantage of the county. These checks are now said to be Worthless and the present treasurer upon as­ suming office refused to be responsible for them.- A little more honesty in government might bring Cleveland Cuyahoga county out of the "red.” No government is ever any better than the kind of men elected to public office. A writer interested in dairy pro­ duction takes his dairy and farmer neighbors to task in no uncertain terms in a recent issue of the Frank­ lin Chronicle. He pictures the plight of the dairy interests that are suffer­ ing low price only because of the im­ portation and use of certain oils in the manufacture of substitute butter. He terms farmers that sell cream and purchase the substitute the "greatest chislers" in the country, not only Spring* of Comfort They ere In God. He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, As a father pltleth his children, so the Lord pltleth them that fear Him, According to dispatches from Chi­ cago Farm Bureau leaders in session 1n that city gave public approval of the Roosevelt plan to relieve the farm situation and faring about better prices, While this was taking place hogs reached a new low the first of the' week that set the market on par with prices th irty years ago.
