Dif- little or no progress has been made. One suggestion much out of the ordinary is to pass a lair requiring the county treasurer to post a. large sign on each property delinquent “Taxes Unpaid.” With thousands paying taxes on time and giving aid to support of government, there is a growing feeling that instead of more prompt payment, more and more jeople will fall into the habit of slow payment. With moratoriums on- bonds, mortgages, etc,, why should any one pay for anything? Are we not educating people to spend their money for everything else than meet­ ing just .obligations. There are inn Stances where property owners have met with misfortune that offer a valid excuse but there is no just reason why we should legalize non-payment of our obligations. At Ik* P«*tOfflci, Cederville, Ohio, October 81,1887, s m — ami cleee m»Mm* ____ ___ _ . 1 _____ ~ ......T O D A X APRIL 5,1988 , iMtOftATOftlUM ONCE MORE BOBS V P The mo»t awtcrly of *11 proposals was the Hoover mow r . - - - - torium that European nations could legally escape payment or ferment method* as to giving aid and debts. It was a new horn idea that foreign nations could hold j making it easier to pay taxes hay* back payments to thi* nation while our international bankers (been tried but many counties say that collected from our distant neighbor* for private loans. 1S“ ’--------------------- " " v----------J‘ The Idea soon became a football of sham politicians and it waa not long until it became a political issue. Such a thing of course appealed to the Roosevelt forces, sham as it was, and in time spread to states and smaller political subdivisions. One of the issues o f the Davey campaign was the mora­ torium and this week the Governor calls attention of the legis- lature that we* should have a moratorium of two years on bond issues maturing in that time, yet the taxpayers are asked to produce the money for interest on unpaid bonds. The Herald has always opposed the moratorium both a- broad and at home, irrespective of who ever proposes it. From a public stand-point the high official that proposes such a thing or aaks for it, or gives it support in or out of the legislature, is a troitor to the best interests of those whom he has been elected •A moratorium is only staving off the evil day of payment of just obligations, that are not only legal but moral. There is nothing constructive in it. It wrecks credit whether for the state or the individual that thinks he is going to be benefited. It retards recovery for state or individual as the. case may be. It enables either or both to spend funds for something else than payment of debt, leaving either or both in worse, condition at the end of the moratorium. One moratorium invites another which in the end will wipe out both public and private finances. The Davey moratorium, no different than others proposed, will depreciate life insurance holdings, savings in building and loans, reduce the live assets of banks, deprive the citizen of the , use of his investment for anyother purpose. The moratorium should be denounced from every quarter and by all classes. It is anything but an honorable way to con­ duct, business, public or private. H it should continue to grow and spread to other lines we would soon reach the time when no one could be compelled to pay for anything. It was one of the things that brought disgust and disgrace on a former Re­ publican administration and it is being proposed today only as a political issue to attract voters. The legislature should defeat the Davey proposal with a protest vote that will for years to come convince Ohioans and the nation that we have not yet stooped to the dishonorable to escape payment of our debts. Let’s play fair with ourselves and live within our income so that we can pay our obligations. Honest debt is no disgrace. We may have had an excess of it during'the so-called prosperity spree some years ago but that was only possible because the individual as well as the tax­ ing district incurred it voluntarily. These debts were created In good faith and they cannot be regarded honest debts under a moratorium. From the taking district standpoint it certainly does not appeal to us that any set of officials from governor down ghbuld be permitted to spend money in sinking fund accounts paid by the taxpayer for debt purposes, for the purchase of this or that as,public officials would have the right to do under the Davey moratorium. The village of Cedarville has never defaulted the payment of a bond or interest in more than 100 years. W e know how local officials have planned and saved wherever possible that this long record should not be broken. It is an honorable record that each citizen should be proud of, and moreso under the times through which We have past and what we face in the ' future. Every effort has been made to reduce our debt each year to reduce interest charge. Under the moratorium interest charges mount, with the debt hanging over the head of the tax­ payers. Ohio should shame the federal government by opposing anykind of a moratorium and announce to the world that we stand ready to pay our financial ,obligations as- they fall due, even if we have to reduce oiir standard of living to gain this ■ honor. ■ ■ tryiag to throw th* feed 0 * Gov.

V an Taaael (Copyrighted) The Roosevelt TVA socialistic ex­ periment wherein the government is entering .into direct competition with private industry is of more than pass­ ing interest? to property owners and business interests in Ohio and other northern states. The experiment in providing southern states with cheap power is political bait at the expense of taxpayers in northern states for R very small percent of government revenue is collected south o f the Mason and Dixon line. A few days ago the Ohio Chamber o f Commerce exposed a plan where government agents were attempting to influence certain northern industries to locate in the south to get advantage of Cheap power, cheap labor, etc, A Democratic congressman -from Ohio complained to President Roosevelt and the latter challenged the Ohio Chamber to produce the evidence, The evidence was given the President but to date be has not publically acknow­ ledged it. Moving Ohio industries south means less labor, reduced pur­ chasing power and more people on relief. The north is being betrayed.. A third campaign is planned by the Federal .government to boost the sale two DEMOCRATIC SHOWM ANSH IP A T ITS BEST "The Greatest Show on Earth,” such was the slogan of the circus owner that was credited with the oft repeated state­ ment: " A fool is bom every minute.” W e give credit to Franklin D. Roosevelt as the greatest political showman that ever appeared in or out of doors in America with the “Greatest Show of Performing Political Jack­ asses’* known ip the d tf listed world. By this time Roosevelt has been convinced that the early master showman was wrong in his statement which now reads; "Two fools are bom every minute,” otherwise there would not be the number of followers of Roosevelt’s "Greatest Show on Earth.” W e have exhibitions of this show daily in Congress. We read the press and find what the bill boards have always claim­ ed for all circuses. We turn on the radio and can bring the "Greatest Show” into our homes. Roosevelt himself is one of the mystery showman that has put the old shell game circus operator in a lower class. By a magic trick he has passed the cups, fooled the people, and w e ' are now' told that a dollar’s worth of gold is worth $1.50, In the side show division we have the Richbergs, Tugwells, Hopkins, Greens, Lewis and Perkins. A ll might be what "Hooey” Long calls the saint vitis dance outfit!

The Roosevelts are cousins, Added to this the average reader might form his own conclusion as to why the President wandered away from Dem­ ocratic party ideas and has urged Congress to subsidize a merchant marine, This would mean' the gov­ ernment would pay part of the cost of operating the steamship business for private profit. I f this is in con­ formity to attacking holding com­ panies we fail to see'the point. The average Democrat must swallow much of what has been said about Republi­ can administrations backing big busi­ ness or else repudiate the' Roosevelt program. The point to the whole argument is that the Roosevelt families have great financial interests in steamship companies, i The first -seeidefe o f th* GenersIM Assembly to meet at th* new capital,] Columbus, convened December 2, j 1819, and adjourned January 28,1817.

No matter what happens— the show must go on— under the guidance of the "Greatest Political Showman” known to man­ kind; » MORE TAXES NEEDED FOR STATE TAX COLLECTORS With 200 political appointees drawing annual salaries that amount to $500,000 in the state relief division; 466 on the state sale* tax payroll with yearly salaries of $776,015; and ap­ pointees in four state officials getting in on the sales tax collec­ tion, we are not far from one million dollars a year alone for collection of sale* taxes so far as the state is concerned. Then we come to the counties, each one in the state having from one to ten new appointees in the treasurer offices, While it costs more than one half million to pass out re­ lie f so fa r as the state is concerned, each county has an ex­ pensive set up that may have from twenty-five to fifteen hun­ dred to keep the relief wheels moving. But one county in Ohio has no relief organization, Harrison county. It has a record of no bonded indebtedness and refused to bond itself as demanded by the White Democratic administration. The county takes car* o f its own relief in Its. own way. It is also interesting to note that what few Democrats entered office on the landslide w«nt out after one term. Meantime other counties are issuing bonds by the hundred thousand monthly and hungry politicians are eating up so- called relief fund* by the hundred thousand before those actually in need o f relief get sight o f a sack o f Hour or a half to* o f eoal; A gullable public fe ll for the "forgotten man” hash and all those m actual need can do is to remain hungry and arid while the Democratic politicians in Washington and Columbus ge t their grab first, as to how good the relief meat has been by one nursing the public teat. We hear no shouts from those who have had to eat the meat. Their silence speaks for itself.
