Another im­ portant leak as to how government money has been used to benefit ad­ ministration supporters is the pay­ ment of $760,000 to the millionaire Vanderbilt for property "in the slum district in New York City th a t was on the tax duplicate for $450,000, Even millionaires must be in the “forgotten man” class. But who could expect the owner of a million dollar yacht to pleasure ride even the President of the United States for nothing? Meantime the little home owner in distress, stands by helpless —the “forgotten man." After weeks of anxious waiting the decision of Supreme Court on the gold cases created no great furor either emment loaning institution with the Roosevelt administration th a t took some comfort from Congressman states th a t while loans it, or for opponents th a t expected a repudiation of broken con- were to be made only on homes a tracts, with either government bonds or those in the industrial Mg loan was made on a Boston hotel field. Speculators naturally took advantage of the decision and .owned by a prominent Democrat. To boosted Wall Street stocks Monday afternoon, Once again the get the loan the owner took down the small investor was the victim for the big operators unloaded ;sign of the hotel and called it h/g their holdings a t a big profit. Since then the market has grad- " ually declined day by day.' Roosevelt supporters expected big things the moment the decision was announced. Opponents thought the end of the world would be announced within the next twenty-four hours. At no time could we see a chance for much change either way. If the gold clause was sustained, there would be no legal gold with which to meet payments. To have compelled companies meeting terms of gold bonds would bring bankruptcy with the Rdosevelt factitious value on gold—something not found in open market—-and illegal possession if you had it. Five judges backed the majority opinion, some of them with reservations. The opening wedge for future action is tha t the holder of Liberty bonds can sue the government if loss can be proven with the low purchasing power of the Roosevelt cheap dollar tha t is as hard to pocket as any other back in the gold standard days. The majority decision was not based sole­ ly on legal lines in conformity with the constitution. It meets a temporary situation only, but gives a warning th a t radical inflation or repudiation of government debts will not get major­ ity approval, In reviewing the minority opinion one cannot help but be impressed with the decision read by Justice McReynolds, Dem­ ocrat, former attorney general under Wilson and. appointed to the bench during his administration. His opinion is a sharp shaft of criticism of the Roosevelt administration and its policy when he says: “It’s the end of the Constitution.” , Froni another angle it made no difference what the Supreme Court decision might be for a large percent of the population had little faith in Roosevelt and his Communistic supporters even giving it recognition had it been adverse to present policies. The Supreme Court has no power to enforce its decisions and must rely upon the Attorney General, who is an appointee of the President. The President has unlimited executive powers to enforce Supreme Court decisions and can use the Army and'Navy if necessary. If he has no sympathy with Such court decisions, he can decline enforcement. The next avenue is by impeachment by Congress of the President. In this case Congress is a ten-cent rubber stamp in the hands of the Communistic-Socialistic order in Washington- I t cannot be regarded a Democratic administration in any sense of the word for the party principles have beep discarded. The Roosevelt campaign promises have no place in the present acU ministration. Democratic platform pledges have been ignored. The Supreme Court evidently took present day events in consideration feeling tha t the shortest way out of the tangle would be the easiest way. The Democratic platform called for drastic reduction in all governmental expenditures, con­ solidation of departments. Expenses are more than doubled -and hundreds of new departments have been created. The platform called fo r .a federal budget annually balanced and two years after Roosevelt takes office the deficit is placed at 34 billion dollars. But not only party pledges have, been discarded. I t was Franklin Roosevelt as a candidate th a t stated: ’‘The platform is a promise binding on the party and its candidates. I have accepted the platform without equivocation and* without reserve.” . I t would be natural tha t Roosevelt would be elated when a court decision can be twisted ,to give approval to-removal of *T promise” from contracts, governmental or private, and thus escape payment of moral obligations. Governments can no longer play fast and loose with na­ tional honor than can individuals with personal honor and credit. The effect of the decision based on temporary condi­ tions will not be fully recognized even during the Roosevelt administration. The moral effect on the nation in the years to Come is a t stake. No other nation has taken such a step th a t has not in the end faced disaster. The American people since the founding of the Republic has prided itself on national honor. Neither repudiation nor conquest of land has blotted a single page of history but can we defend and protect this record in the light of present day developments? RESTORING THE DEAD The old saying th a t “as long as th e re is life there is hope,”, never can be made, by any sort of magic, to be twisted around to mean tha t things tha t are very positively “abd permanently dead can be revived, The skill of modern physicians is wonderful in bringing back to life those who are near death, and even some of those who are believed to be dead, but who, of course, are not. But when actual decease is known beyond peradventure to have oc­ curred, everybody with any sense gives up to the inevitable, th a t is, so fa r as human, animal and vegetable life is concerned. But in politics and government, somehow or other it’s dif ferent. There are those who persist in attempts to revive the patient after the heart has stopped, the ralje has sounded in he throat and the death pallor has spread over the countenance. There are still more hopeful souls who dig up dead bodies, hoping to clothe them again with life, The effort to revive the dead NRA would be comical if it were not so pathetic. Great doctors of politics, experimenta­ tion and theory are engaged in resuscitative efforts, in the Washington clinic. It even seems sometimes as if there might be a breath left in the corpse, but all the skill of the political medicine men will not avail. I t is time to bury the dead. —Ohio State Journal, you have to do is to put down about $18.75 and At the cad of t a t y«tr# Unek Sam promise* to pay you $25.

I t was reported 'in financial circles in Columbus Tuesday that all persons who have been receiving government rental payments are to be listed and solicited to take their share of the “baby” bonds. The bond issue will be great­ er than any issued during the World War. H istorical Mileposts O f Ohio By C. 3. Van Tassel (Copyrighted) . I t will not be long until the Roosevelt “forgotten man” slogan will be in the has been list with the Hoover “two cars in every garage and two chickens in every ppt.” .Next will be the Kingfish “Everyman a.,Kijig,’’ The Couglilin Social Service pjan and the Townsend $200 a month pension for all over 60, even Rockefeller and Ford. When the economic whirlwind has blown over with it will go all such slogans and Roosevelt’s name will not appear in print any oftener that of Hoover. In the Democratic circles A1 Smith, who has more com­ mon horse s<pise than all the present day Democratic leaders; • will be whistling “The Sidewalks of New York,” and thumbing his nose a t the Roosevelt followers. We d ip the following from Bud Nelson’s column in the South Charles­ ton Sentinel as the Townsend version of “Silver Threads Among the Gold": Darling, we are growing old, Though not left out in the cold; With 400 bucks to spend, Every month, we need no friend. Yes, my darling, you and me Always full of pep will bet And while we are going some, We’ll spend little time at, home. When your hair is silver White, Still your heart beat will be light, To the night clubs we will go, Keeping young and gay, what ho! So, my- darling, you will .be Always hotsy-tois to me, Life my darling, will be great, While the youngsters pay the freight. * Farmers will be interested in what is being done by the AAA that acts as “pegging" the price on wheat. For the administration to do what Hoover did in the Wilson administration by fixing a top price on wheat would al­ most startle the populace. Few people have any means o f knowing how much wheat is imported into the country. With labor unions and city residents flooding Washington with protests over the present high cost of living, a new method has been put in force to hold down, the price of wheat to the dollar mark or less The AAA quietly opened the doors a t port for the Argentina wheat and oats. A report of the Commerce Department shows that from September to De­ cember imports on wheat were three million bushqls more than exports. The January report shows an in­ crease of 330,000 bushels of imported wheat qnd 2,664,000 of oats. If these figures are not correct the fault lies in Washington as they are taken from government reports. The American farmer, even though he is paid for not raising wheat, is the looser when he might have the profit on wheat equal o r more than the amount of the rent with wheat imported by the million bushels, There is being shown on the silver screen today what many think noth­ ing more than a burlesque on the Roosevelt administration. A suave individual named Elmer Green is a candidate for president and during his campaign many promises are made. Campaign parades show all kinds of signs; “No more work”; “No more scrubbing”; “A pension for everyone"; “Stop overproduction”; “Every man a king"; “Kill more pigs”; etc. Election returns show Elmer Green wins the presidency by billions of votes. The first meeting of bis cabinet it is decreed that proper,'names., are out o fr cjate and the edictiis announged th^'each.mfwi, s(n<Lwoman, musit go .by a numtyjj?, \For a time life i^.one sweet dream and Elmer’s administration is the culmination -of the. fruits of the brain trust. Then comes the crash. Re­ ports reach a cabinet, meeting of dis­ content among the people , and threats are made of a general strike being called by the American Federa­ tion of.Loafers. The administration outlawed the ownership, or use of tools of any kind. Then came reports of tools being bootlegged and the en­ raged “President Green” orders vie Inters brought before him for convic tion and sentence. The strike order spreads and men and women parade demanding work and not holidays. The cabinet holds an exciting meet­ ing and convinces “President Green" that his administration faces revolu­ tion unless he, revokes his “No work order.” The enraged executive in a maddened frame of mind issued a statement: “The same authority that gave work relief and checked, produc­ tion ha d t h e power to order each man and woman to work and to produce more hut each must work- twenty- four hours * day,".. The picture ends showing crowds/., entering factories/ Housewives busy. Craftsmen of all lines a t work and men and women busy in the .field,. And Elmer Green’s administration governed * happy people. The picture brought down the house seating 2000 people. A pro­ ceeding picture showed Hoover—-no applause. Then Roosevelt—but three scattered persons had the courage to applaud. . ■ , . I t is very unusual to see one of the large taiik trucks used in hauling milk go through hero.

THE CEDARVILLE HERALD Cedarville, Ohio 'HEMU.OWAHTANDSALEAOSPAY’ The Ohio State Tax Commission has gone into the ballyhoo business, Three female politicians have been employed to trave 1 the state on a salary of $200 a month and expenses to “sell” the sales tax to the people. If the plan works out Well additional men and women will get a chance a t the ballyhoo game. If the Tax Com­ mission is to spend the sales tax money as fa s t as it is collected it will not he long until there will he a de­ mand for increasing it from three to five per cent. The object of the law was to raise revenue to care for pre­ sent activities, not create more jobs for politicians, and we fear;, the tax board rnkY. h*Ve .^overstepped its rights, Iffe was lif t "To thOAfferchants to collect the tax* and the small per­ cent discount was to in a *measure recognize this service. Unless Gov­ ernor Davey shows some interest in changing the Tax Commission it is not likely the people will give him much credit for his effort in reor­ ganizing other departments, Senator William Handley,-Cincinnati, has introduced a bill in, the legislature which if passed Would do away with present county bounilry lines, The 88 counties would be consolidated into 22 , Greene county would be thrown with Montgomery, Preble, and Clark coun­ ties. The county seat would be the largest city in the district, In this new plan Dayton would have that honor. Various plans are proposed to simpli­ fy county government in the state but all of them have the ear mark, of city control. More power centralized in Columbus with more state boards. I t is proposed to do away with many of the elective county offices but the bos­ ses would get to name the appointees. The bait is to reduce taxes for it is now popular to talk economy. Most all of the plans tha t are being urged have back of them the idea of reduc­ ing the power of the rural vote in the state. There is yet much fear that rural counties Will in a few years de­ mand prohibition. 666 LIQUID —TABLETS — SALVE 686 Liquid or Tablets used internally apd 666 Salve externally, ntake.itppm- plet* and effeethr* trealntaiffp, .for Colds. * .. , Most Speedy Remedies Known .......
