The King as the withdrawing members o f their faculty refused to vote for the Roosevelt so-called four billion eight - leader o f the forces o f righteousness that have been loaned to the various hundred million work-relief bill. Such a method as h a s been marched to the gates o f the" Garden ‘ government divisions under the new outlined i# nothing short o f political blackmail against your elected representatives in the highest legislative body m the country. It matters not what your political belief may be, each o f the Ohio Senators, Bulkley and Donahey, must face such a firing line. It Is also proof that the Roosevelt admin­ istration does not even permit members o f Congress elected as Democrats to have an opinion o f their own, nor must they even dare to represent the views o f their constituents. W e have it from one o f the leading Democrats in this section o f Ohio, one that hgs a large following not* only in his own party, hut has had liberal support at times at the polls from Republicans. He Is opposed to the Roosevelt program and When we asked him if he cared to give his reasons why, he freely stated that no president, regardless o f party, had a moral right to ask fo r unlimited control o f such a sum. More­ over he intimated that he doubted if ever d man existed that could spend such a sum, or be responsible fo r it being spent honestly] and faithfully. He is urging his Democratic friends to write and urge both Ohio Senators to stand pat. With a leading Democrat taking such a position one could not help fee l something was back o f the four billion proposal Roosevelt wants, other than what has been given the public. A pointed question was asked and startling as it may be, the answer implied that little o f the sum would ever go towards any Work-relief program that did not have a political string tied to it. We also drew the information that a national elec­ tion was two years distant and with a couple, o f the four bil­ lion held back, it would easily supplant the need o f the ordin­ ary campaign fund. This leading Ohio Democrat was strong fo r Roosevelt's election two years ago but he finds little com­ mon ground fo r the President at this time due to his policy as directly against traditional Democratic belief from the time of Jefferson to Wilson. Evidently Roosevelt's re-election is o f secondary import­ ance— with present Communistic-Socialistic tendency being supplanted fo r promises o f the. party platform. •His view now is “What o f the future o f the party?” The answer is implied in the proposed use o f .a billion or more dollars to purchase the electorate by all sorts of methods that even Santa Claus, has pever dreamed o f or that New York.Tammany could hope for. Probably'Ohio's two Democratic Senators are thinking the future o f the party for neither have yet shown much’ sympathy fo r the Roosevelt Socialistic movement. Their vote against the work-relief bill may have been in the interest o f party honor. Their vote also was against billions o f government inflation bonds that will wreck the nation. Their vote was in support o f securing life insurance and fire insurance companies where assets belonging to policy holders would wilt under inflation. Their vote was security fo r savings accounts in banks and building aqd loans. How could two Senators faithfully rep­ resent such an electorate, as can be found in Ohio and vote Otherwise than against the four billion eight hundred million inflation graft? Send a card or letter to Senators Bulkley and Donahey urg­ ing them to stand by their original vote. Republicans as well as all Jefferson Democrats should stand shoulder to shoulder yvith the Ohio Senators. PITY FOR THOSE DEPENDING ON FERA PAY I f you want to get a cross-section o f how the “ Forgotten Man” class feels towards the Roosevelt administration, make a journey to the Greene county courthouse some morning when several hundred relief workers mill around, waiting on their pay which is two weeks overdue. For more than two weeks this class o f unemployed has Waited fo r their pay checks which have been promised time after time. In the meantime some 200 employes at state headquarters that draw, annual pay over $500,000 take their good natured time. For months there has been much criticism against the manner in which the state department has been operated and just .as much against county organizations, that must take orders from the political relief dispensors. . I f there ever was an organization set-up so overloadec /with employees, it has been the relief organization in state and counties in Ohio. No industrial organization could sur­ vive such an overhead expense. As ’the relief organization Stands in Ohio today office appointees are eating up a large Ipercent o f funds intended for those in actual relief. We have discovered that certain workers in various head quarters are required to make out a lot o*f red-tape reports that require at least fifty per cent o f .their time, instead o f being out investigating the need o f those out o f employment. W e have had our attention called to the fact families badly in need o f coal could not get it when a car o f state relief coal stood on track fo r days within sight o f many o f the homes that were cold. Meantime these families paced back and forth each day up and down the railroad trying to pick up a bucket o f coal that might have fallen from loaded coal cars As far as the Greene county organization is concerned we have good reason to believe that more results could be given by those who are conscientiously trying to do their job if the state would only use a little common sense and cut out about ninety percent o f what is nothing more than red tape. We know from actual experience in this county, and we get the same reports o f other counties, that more money is going to over-head operation than is necessary. In many instances the state has tried to force county authorities to provide funds fo r equipment that cannot be found in county offices. The whole relief program is doomed to failure and. would be discontinued at once if the average citizen was aware o f what ivas being done with his tax dollar. The public still is in the mood to continue, public aid in various forms to those in need but there is no. one that can guarantee a continuance o f relief once the public rebels against the present program o f operation, Eliminate' the “ brain-trust” idea o f management even for handling public relief aiid exercise some good common horse- sense. More and greater service can be given these in need and the public will have a higher appreciation o f those in authority. Gov. Davey is being criticised fo r some things he had done in connection with the state organization. We have fe lt fo r months some changes were needed in state headquart­ ers and the Governor has made one. His next order Bhould be to eliminate some o f the red-tape that is causing much friction in every county. o f Eden and found Hugh Johnson j deal.

Later two unknowns, Wallace and Tugweli, were discovered iri the Garden, the former herding, a lone­ some lamb a!nd the latter picking in­ sects from the fruit. Under orders from the King, Wallace was com­ manded to let no one fleece the lamb and Tugweli was made, the King’s official taster, that the King might be assured that all he ate would do him no harm. The Garden of Eden having grown out o f date with the King, who had visions o f more worlds to conquer, set out to reform a new world and give freedom to the “forgotten man.” Settling for a time on a new estate on the banks o f the Hudson, noted for its polo poneys, decendents- o f a wigwam termed Tammany, were converted and sent to all quarters to preach the gospel and search for the oppressed “forgotten man.” . But one could” be found, yet oppressed as he was he held much gold and silver; owned vast estates and roamed the high seas in a costly yacht. The King was greatly impressed with the “forgotten man,” and the lonesome Manhattanite named Vanderbilt became a consort o f the King. Once on a voyage the King discovered an unknown tribe on the banks o f the Potomac that had not been observing the code o f the NRA revised yersion. Rather than permit continued sinful waste orders were given Richberg, Wallace and Tugweli, rich in experience in the Garden Of Eden, to take charge, continue the search d f other “ forgotten men,” take command o f animal and grain food, while .one Farley o f the wigwam, a new convert that had won many souls on Manhattan, would control things official, casting suspicion on all the money changers in the temple. The King has been pleased to record other "forgotten men” such as makers o f gasoline chariots, rum and wine and implements o f war. first or be taken from the O.S.U. (faculty. There is a lurking suspicion even among educators, and particular­ ly among Democratic leaders, that the New Deal will blow up as every de­ partment under Roosevelt has its share o f jealous squabbles. ■Moreover university heads are now convinced that most o f the Roosevelt program is not sound and that much danger lies ahead. The “ brain trust” has been anything but an asset for the reputa­ tion o f universities. ess* .

Such a thing could not possibly be honest and be handled by any one man. It simply is not good business. The Herald has forwarded letters to both Senators commending them on their stand and urging them to stand firm in the future against such raids on the American purse. Mrs, Franklin Roosevelt jumps from one thing to another and vevi- dently if we judge Democratic com­ ment is not adding to the popularity o f the administration. Drawing $4000 for a broadcast advertising a certain make o f shoes puts her almost in the "Unforgotten woman” list. Several days ago she gave the New York Times an interview on the Haupt- matin-Lindberg murder trial in which she passed expert opinion and con­ cluded by stating she did not see how an innocent man could expect a fair trial with circumstantial evidence playing so prominent part. Her statement caused critical comment everywhere but a ‘radio news broad­ caster came to her rescue stating she had been misquoted. This was hard­ ly off the air until the D, A , R. na­ tional organization had a mixup over the First Lady who had been listed as a "Red.” Walter Wincheil can take the air again to settle that dispute. The New York Times Washington correspondent refused to give his paper an account that was not true and broke With the President who made one o f his “ off the record state­ ments,” not for publication. Since the Times could not be bluffed, al­ though' originally a supporter o f the President, the correspondent is no longer a caller at the White House for conferences with other news­ papermen. In our last issue we related as to 10Wmuch wheat and oats were being mported in this country by the na- ional administration while farmers »ave been paid for reducing crops.

Much o f the legal work haa been completed by the solicitor, Marcus Shoup, and promise o f government aid on the project has been secured. The Jamestown village council has passed much o f the legal legislation required but now a stumbling block has been reached, two members have taken a reverse stand on the issue. To let work stop on the program at this time means a great loss to the village. It is said 175 property owners have sign ed- up for the water service. I f the property owners follow the plan a- dopted in Cedarville there is yet a chance fo r Jamestown to get a muni­ cipal waterworks, Some days ago while a snow was blanketing all out o f doors one men­ tioned that it would be interesting to see a revival« f sleigh lacing on the improved Xenia avenue. .This state­ ment took us back to the' daya when a good snow meant some excellent racing, for in those daya there were many snow steppers that amused large crowds. We recall -Andrew Jackson, W. H, Owens, John Harbison, W, L. Marshall, Dave Tarbox, O, T. Wolford and many others that could be named, out in their cutters for a speed feat on the avenue. Othniri Looker, who was Speaker o f the State Senate, became acting Governor o f Ohio from March 25, 1814 to December 8, 1814, by reason o f the resignation o f Governor Return Jonathan Meigs, Jr., to become Post­ master-General in the Cabinet - o f President Madison. Looker was con­ sequently a candidate for Governor against Thomas Worthington, then in the United States Senate, at the fall election o f 1814, but received only 6,171 votea to 15,879 votes for Worth­ ington. Resigning as Senator, Worthington was inaugurated Governor December 8, the thirteenth session o f th$ Gen­ eral Assembly having opened Decem­ ber 5, 1814 and adjoiirned February 16,'* 1815. The War was still a major subject o f attention. The war had cost the nation about eighty million dollars and the national government levied another direct tax on the State, and under the authority o f the Legislature/ nearly $180,000 was borrowed from the various banks to meet the assessment. According to Galforeath’a History o f Ohio, the State had contributed 23,951 soldiers to the War, being one-third o f the entire white male population o f Ohio, above the age o f twenty-one and more than one-half o f those o f military age.. It was nearly fifteen perecent o f all the soldiers in the War of 1812 contributed by the whole nation, It was at this session of the General Assembly that the banking law was passed, which brought the celebrated conflict between the State o f Ohio and the Bank o f the United States. Governor Worthington issued a Thanksgiving proclamation fixing upon Friday, March 31,1815, as.a day o f thanksgiving for the restoration o f peace “ to our beloved country.". The tide o f immigration now began to pour into Ohio, and the question of opening up, the lands o f the North­ western part o f the State for settle­ ment, by treaties with the Indian oc­ cupants, was an important problem for discussion. Engineers sent to survey the military boundary lines for the Michigan territory were for­ bidden to perform their work by the Indians, who being arrayed on the side o f the British, still considered they had not*made peace. Liming Effect Over 30 Years Observed Continuous Wooster Experi­ ment Points to Benefits . of Liming Soil Over a period o f 30 years the ef­ fect o f liming the soil has been ob­ served in a continuous experiment under way at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station at Woosteer. Thirty years ago a series of five sections, or plots, was set aside for growing crops in a 6-year rotation o f corn, oats, wheat, clover, and timothy. One-half of each section was limed, while the other half received no lime, The average yield o f com for the original soil during the 10 years pre­ ceding the experiment was 32 bushels an acre, Com yields on the unlimed plots dropped to 8 bushels, or to 26 per cent o f the original yield. From the limed soils, the yields have been three times this large, in the last 15 years. Similarly, the yields o f oats, wheat, clever and timothy have fallen to 30 per cent. Over the, 30 years limestone has been applied at the rate o f two tons to the acre on the' com crop, Or once in the rotation period. A third set o f plots received a moderate application o f fertilizer as well as lime, which resulted in still larger yields. 6 6 6 LIQUID - TABLETS — SALVB 666 Liquid or Tablets Used internally and 666 Salve externally, make a com­ plete end effective treatment for Colds.

Winwood & Co* SPR1NGFIKLD, OHIO Ask Your Banker or Attorney' About tie; Potato Control Plan Proposed Details o f the proposed national program for potato growers Were brought to the potato section meet­ ings at Farmers’ Week at the. Ohio State University last Thursday by Hugh B. Tabb, editor o f The Potato World. The proposals, he said, were ad­ vanced by a committee representing producers from 16 states. The com­ mittee asked the AAA to assist in drafting a bill which the committee will submit to Congress. It was proposed by the committee, Tabb said, that potatoes be made a basic commodity under the Farm Act, and that control legislaion be enacted similar to the Kess-Smith Act which affects marketing o f to­ bacco. Should the recommendations of the advisory .committee be enacted into law, the secretary o f agriculture would be charged with determining the advisable size o f the potato crop to be marketed each year, with a view towards establishing and maintaining a parity price level fo r potatoes. Basis o f acreage allotments to states would be flexible, using a pro­ duction average computed from the three highest yields and acreages of the 6-year period o f 1930 "through 1934. Allotments to individual growers would be based on state allotments. A tax o f half-cent a pound on all potatoes not covered by tax exempt certifiicates would be levied, * All potatoees would be marketed in closed packagees. There would be provisions for transfer o f tax exempting certificates, and for a reserve for new growers. After a year o f operation the plan would be submitted to a referendum o f growers. May Abandon Throe One-Room Schools A plan to abandon .the three re­ maining one-room grade schools in Silvercr. k Twp., in favor of con­ solidation was revealed Wedneesday to be under consideration by the township school board. The schools involved are Myers, ZaZa and Oak Knoll, Whereas there were seventy-four of the “little red school houses” in Greene County in 1920, now only thirteen remain in use. Besides the three located in Silver- creek Twp.. the remaining ten are in Xenia Twp. Those in this township are Old Town, Anderson, Old Town Run, Collins, East Point, Lauman, Mitchell, Hilltop, Rural Home and White Chapel. Four other grade schools in Xenia Twp., organized on the two-room plan are Cose, Jasper, Union and the. County Children’s Home. Vendors Under the New Sale* Tax Who frequently or only occasionally sell merchan­ dise that is exempt from sales tax need blanks fo r his purchaser to sign, The Herald has prepared these blanks and they can be bought in small pads at a very nominal cost. They are approved by the State Tax Commission. Purchasers who know that certain merchandise they buy is tax free will want to have some o f these blanks to insure his right to purchase without paying the tax.
