Labor has had some increase in wages, but after supplying the wants of the home for the week at the new high prices, the family budget is found in the red. The American people have been patient while the experi­ mentation of untried ventures have been carried on. There' is now every indication of unrest at every turn and with aM classes. Even where labor has been granted increase in wages, . strikes abound in all lines in an effort to get back to the spend­ ing spree days of 1929. Unless there is a return to something more conservative before midsummer the whole so-called re­ covery program will pass from the evolution stage to a genuine revolution and such a thing as a civil rebellion might be closer to the corner than the oft-mentioned prosperity. The future promises little encouraging for the more pros­ perous days from December until April passed with the ending of the CW A spending spree. There has of course been some gain in some lines of business outside of the CWA spending, but it has not been general over the country. . The best index of how things stand today in that the hotel business has drop­ ped fifty per cent the past sixty days over what it was last November. Hundreds of salesmen are being withdrawn each month due to the fact that retail stores are loaded with unsold goods. Weather conditions early in April checked retail sales. The discontinuance of CW A did much to slow retail trade so that the natural increase in business was not there and the little ooom was of the inflation order, The administration has made some mistakes in what from the first was intended and accepted by the public as an earnest e ffo r t to incubate business. "Mistakes in new ventures can be overlooked but asinine blunders on pet theories, from text­ book exponents that have, never enjoyed a day of practical test will no longer be accepted by the people. . A friend of the writer just a few days returned from Washington where he had business with different departments covering a.two weeks stay. He came in direct contact with the heads of several departments and brings back the word that every effort is to be made to regiment, all classes of business and citizens) as if we were preparing for another World War. When •he remarked to the head of an important department that the farm program had thus far been a failure and promised little in the future he was informed that the farmer has no reason to complain for he has a home to live in and plenty to eat while millions are hungry and can be set out into the street. It has never been the plan of the 'brain-trusters that there would bje any great profit to business or farming interests. If there is to "be a profit the income tax is to reduce it. Our informant was shocked when told the farmer, to be patriotic, must be content with a living for a few ye^irs and do his part towards feeding the nation for he was being paid for not producing the usual crop. Such is the first year of the recovery program. LOWLY, BUT PRETTY AND USEFUL Consider the lowly dandelion-*-the rowdy, hoydenish, com­ mon, vulgar dandelion, imp of the lawn. How bold, how thrifty, how colorful, and how it lives with an almost disgusting exuberance for the worldly pleasures of the sun, the wind and the rain, and how even iri old age its fine gr&ay head has a fas­ cination. . It digs its roots in deeply and raises its yellow head proudly upward. It may be a pest to the pernickety lawn keeper, but it is a joy to children. Who doesn't remember of poking a dande­ lion under any convenient chin in a solemn effort to learn whether its owner liked butter? Or of blowing off the gray hairs .of an aged flower and watching the fine, little seeds, mounted upon*wings, go sailing merrily in the wind ? And what little girl has never split the ends of the dandelion stem and wet them in he mouth until they curled so prettily that she couldn’t resist sticking them behind her ear an pretending they were ringlets? . . . Never more than this spring have they made such brilliant splotches of yellow. They are like golden plush, so brilliant as to be dazzling and as irreverent toward the more dignified lawns which they adorn and the more aristocratic flowers which need to be cultivated as any urchin of the streets is toward the more sedate adults who surround him. If only dandelions were rare, how much they would be ap­ preciated, and how carefully they would be cultivated, both for their beauty and their more useful qualities. They take root quickly in fresh, new topsoil, or in ground that for some reason has been disturbed. The tiny seeds lodge against a small clod of earth or beneath a pebble and at-the first rain take root. In about two years they are big fellows— almost bushy, and if the leaves are gathered together at the top and tied they will blanch almost like celery. And, like celery, or rather, more like lettuce, they make a good salad, if salad dressing, like French. dressing, for instance, is used on them. Or, if anyone wants to cultivate them, and some people do, the plants should be placed out in the fall in a well puverized bed of rich soil, and in the spring should be covered with dirt Until only the tips show above ground. Again they bleach like celery. The have a peculiar, bitter taste, which many people like, but which, if it is to repugnant, can be controlled by the use of a strong or tart dressing. Their use as greens is widely known, They are whole­ some and nourishing, but, again, to some the taste is too bitter. If a handful of young onions— tops and all— is dropped into the pot of greens and cooked with them the bitterness will dis­ appear, and there will be no onion taste either. The poor dandelion, maligned as it is, has a difficult time of living. If a man wants to get rid of them the best way to do it is not by digging them out, but by encouraging the grass to grow. Within a few years the grass will crowd out the dande­ lions until only a few are left. The have the souls of tramps and don’t flourish quite so well in the more civilized and sedate surroundings.— Columbus Dispatch, brain-trusters that have been drawn , . . , , , , from the different universities in the t° adopt the federal country. If one sought a fountain Clr‘clnnatl re- * duced the Ohio law to a pulp and threw it out of the Window, It was a brave stroke that may cost him his head, even if Gen. Johnson has to order it delivered to him on a charger. There, is a higher court in session just at present according to the view of many people, if the weather condi­ tions are to be taken into considera­ tion. Many of the western states, like the central, are suffering with drouth and crops are not in sight, not even for human consumption let alone live stock. The Kaiser once admitted he was in partnership with God. Prob­ ably the German ward-lord could be induced to turn his seat over to Gen. Johnson until he could map out a plan for some NRA rainfall or propose a code or military rule that guarantees moisture for crops. While planning such a program it. would be well to have the rains regimented. Few likely have never given thought as to how much of the Ohio govern- m mt in the past, as well as present, is the product of some type of brain- truster. During the Cooper' adminis­ tration Dr. Walker of the O. S. U. was called upon ■to lift the state to a higher standard. Gov. Cooper gave him a free hand, laws and even the state constitution were set aside and what a sorry mess it turned out to be not only for the state but for the then Governor. Some years ago Ohio established what was known as the Legislative Reference Bureau, com­ posed of O. S. U. experts, and it was only by having a bill drawn in this department, or having its approval, that it could get into the legislative hopper. Gov. White has made good use of the inexperienced university professor who may knpw his preek, but never had a day of actual experi­ ence at the factory bench, counting house or on the farm. Just a few day's ago Gov. White drew upon' the knowledge of a brain-truster who comes forward with a cure-all for the building and loans in Ohio, yet previ­ ous to that date was never known in financial circles and never heard of by nine out of ten citizens in the state. 'The Governor even presents this knowledge at this late date after his own legislature passed supposed corrective laws some months back that guaranteed sweeping reforms, in building and loan operation. The pub­ lic swallowed the idea, not knowing ditferent, but the legislation proved to be nothing more than a political move to wreck building and loans by liquidation to put favored politicians oft the pay roll at handsome salaries at the expense of stockholders and de­ positors. No town or city in the country has had a more sorrowful experience as a result of this wreck­ ing plan than the city of Dayton. It is to the credit of C. R. Titlow, Bath township farmer, who now heads the Dayton ’ loan1 depositors protection committee, that the victims are to have some protection against the White wrecking crew. Gen. Johnson, NRA Chief, has come and gone so far as his Columbus trip is concerned. Billed as visiting that city at the request of the Ohio Manu­ facturers Association, it proved noth­ ing more than a coupe to give a little limelight to Cong. Lamneck, Gov. White, candidate for Senator, and a few other Democrats of lesser no­ toriety, The Gen. wanted the largest building in- the city to accomodate the crowd and Gov. White Used the col­ iseum on the State Fair Grounds. The huge building seats 15,000 but for some reason not all the Democratic officeholders attended for the crowd was estimated at 4,000, and there are more than that number of state, county and city faithful on the public payroll who are residents of Colum­ bus and Franklin cotmty. is a dictator and refuses to even fol- the Ohio law that requires the sale o f good whiskey aged in wood at least four years. The quality o f the goods being sold is said to be very poor and also contains much poison, in fact more than is ordinarily found inand. Gov. hite forced his eak- in bootleg goods. Little of the state liquor Is made from grain which o f course is not helping the farmer any and he was promised better grain prices on the repeal o f prohibition owing to the great consumption of grain for liquor. The Gov. may not he remembered by the farmers at the coming primary. Gov. White, whose administration is best noted for extravagance, higher taxes, legalized race horse gambling and the legalized and glorified .saloon, had a legislature muqh to his liking, and it finally got from under his con­ trol. Most of the members, Demo­ crats out numbering Republicans- in both houses, began to feel the Execu­ tive had taken advantage of their good nature and finally rebelled. at otders. These men had a serise of responsibility after all and knew they could riot face the voters at home if they were to be held accountable even for the cheap black-strap whiskey be­ ing sold in state stores. Tax prob­ lems bothered the members as much as the complaint of the rotten liquor being sold legally at holdup, prices. ■After weeks of effort with members personally broke, and the state many thousand dollars in the hole, it 'was impossible for the bosses to hold the members in line. Gov. White became alarmed arid public sentiment with caustic criticism was heaving at his door. His final act was to “ prorogue” the session, that is adjourn it when the members could not agree. The Gov, promises to'call another special session in June and the public should insist that members rebel and "refuse to support any more legislation, re­ gardless of brand or the apparent need. .It is time to call a halt on such ’ an administration as the state has faced the past- two years. The Gov. has given us face horse gamb­ ling, higher taxes, cheap whiskey and seveial thousand additional public officials. That should be enough for one administration. John Dillinger, Chicago gangster who has taken first place in the news away from A1 Capone, was pardoned last year by Gov. McNutt of Indiana. Since then Dillinger has terrorized bankers and citizens in a dozen states. Previous to the confinement in the Indiana prison Dillinger had a bad record yet the Governor for some reason gave a pardon. Criticism has been caustic but it took the action of the Indiana Republican Editorial As­ sociation to, build a ' fire under the Democratic administration in that state that brought forth a wail never before known. The Republican press advocated the Democrats drop the “ donkey” as an emblem and adopt the “wooden pistol,” the tool used by Dil­ linger to bluff his way out of a county jail. What actually took place or what was said at the brain-trust cock-tail party as to where this country was headed matters little today. Congress gave the learned “ doctors," a clean bill of sale as was to be expected, once the investigating committee was given close inspection. A county sheriff down in Fairfield county received a tip of three strangers in a back hill camp that might be the escaped Ohio penitenti­ ary birds. The official took his little delegation to the scene, walked in on the gangsters and ordered hands up before the trio could arm themselves. They had the same arms with them that were stolen from the prison guards. The Fairfield county Sheriff delivered his charges to the peniten­ tiary within three hours after receiv­ ing the tip.. The Ohio Rural police read about the capture of the gang­ sters in the morning papers, ' * ______ . State Auditor Tracy, has been dig­ ging into, some things that are going ' on in the White administration in CO- ' lumbus. He finds that state em- j ployees are not only drawing salaries from the state but the federal govern- merit as" well. For instance John Gilbert, chief of the division of labor statistics draws a salary of $227 from the state and -has also drawn $107 from the federal government. A long list of state employees are drawing two salaries, the second being from the federal government. If the state and federal relief divisions are ever given a close inspection the public will find the politicians have been well cared for while the unemployed had to at least play at work to get a few groceries. | Regardless of the fact that the pro­ cessing taxes have killed the hog market as well as the dairy prices, it is now proposed to increase these taxes. A year ago hogs were four cents arid pork chops," best cuts, I5c a pound. Today hogs are little over three cents and the same cuts are 25c a pound, and no demand for pork. A little more tax of the processing nature and hog feeders will cease, to exist.- i ! One of the largest mail order houses in the country is advertising in an unusual way. The firiri states that it desires to continue the sale o f auto tires, at prices that save auto owners money but after May 14 the price must be advanced 20 per cent to meet the requirements of the NRA code. Tires ,will not be the only thing to have prices boosted. Most every­ thing in the retail market is going up from 20 to fifty per cent whether your income is increased or not. Three cheers and a tiger for Gen. Johnson, who draws a fat salary at the ex­ pense of the taxpayers. NOTICE Greene County Common Pleas Court.
