FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1935 HOW FAR WILL SHERRILL REPORT GET? the past fifty years would the American people have submitted. to dictation, wreck and ultimate ruin, under any other admin-' iteration, Republican or Democrat, as we have up to this time under a communistic-socialistic regime called Roosevelt’s New Dealers. ;nnn:n!iffinnmimms!ULrmmmraLnnmnmTi!tiiimnininmi tration is going to smooth over the Unless the general public takes more interest in the sec­ tions o f the Sherrill State Government Survey, it is not likely to amount to much. Gov. Davey played up this plan strong and asked “business and industry to lend their best brains to the state without cost to the taxpayers to make the survey. To date the Governor has not displayed much interest, at least has made no public announcement that he has accepted and will put in force the recommendations. When the committee exposed the rotten conditions in the Ohio Tax Commission and recommended that a million dollars could be saved in salaries o f useless appointees, one would ex­ pect a Governor that had asked for such a survey to start to work and show the citizens o f Ohio he was in good faith in ask­ ing business executives to look into the state government from a business standpoint. The Highway Department. Utilities Commission^ and other branches of state government have been covered by the ex­ amination but the public has not been informed as to what is to be done by the Governor. In fact about the only comment Governor Davey has madp is that “ You cannot divorce politics from state business.” It has been nearly a month since the first Sherrill report was given the public. In that time we learn the state admin­ istration has added $114,127 m additional salaries by changes in appointments as well as new appointments, and has only abolished jobs that have saved the state $7920 a year. The Gov­ ernor also sits back and lets the legislature increase salaries of state appointees, including that o f .the Governor, at a time when he was asking for more business method's in state govern­ ment. WHY NOT INVESTIGATE STATE BUDGET? Some days ago a request went out from the Ohio State Farm Bureau headquarters in Columbus urging that all citizens take an interest in local budgets and demand reductions. From one angle the Farm Bureau did a good service and the request was not out of place for it should be the duty of every citizen to be better acquainted with county, township, school and municipal expenditures and have some idea of how and where the tax dollar goes. From another angle we fear the Farm Bureau leaders have fallen down on their job by not keeping closer tab on the bud­ get fo r state expenditures. It might be said the Farm Bureau was not interested in what it cost to operate state hospitals, the various prisons, or whether there have been useless expend­ itures in salaries to political appointees on jobs that could be abolished. We boldly make the claim that any county in Ohio from the largest to the smallest in population, gets more for its tax dollar than does the state, and the same can be said of munici­ palities and townships. For that reason the Farm Bureau should have been in position to inform the state that it had used its best efforts to hold down state expenses, but no such statement has been made or is likely to be made. For this good \ attack on former congressmen, Dem­ ocratic party leaders, all out to kill •the Roosevelt “ death sentence’ ’ bill. To date the House has voted against Roosevelt but the Senate voted under the political lash you are “ either ^ f or p iCt,ator or against him.” To Democracy in Ohio could not trust, oppose him you get none o f the four the press of the state, not even the billion slush fund in your state^-and. so-called Democratic papers, to g ive,the Senate v ilted. correct information.

He even went is backing the administration.

Now the Gov. tention was called to it—with Roose- eomes forth in the first issue of “ The veil heaping the debt to thirty bil- Ohinan" with what he has accom- lion and having placed more than plisherl. It is singular that he makes 100,000 deserving Democrats on the no reference to the Sherrill survey as federal pay roll, ignoring almost to how the cost of state government every campaign pledge he not only can bi reduced. made his own party followers but --------- the citizenship as well.

And more; Qf Ohio, In 1817? under Congressional authority, William -Harris surveyed the line Maimed by Ohio as her north­ ern boundary, and it was adopted by Ohio legislative authority. When the territory o f Michigan was formed, its southern boundary was fixed as in the Act o f Congress authorizing Ohio to form a state. .The disputed strip wa3 five miles in width _ at the west end, and over eight miles wide at the east end. The Michigan > claim brought the harbor of Toledo, under Michigan Territory, and her jurisdiction, which she proceeded to exercise, sending troops to back up her claim. Governor Lucas, of Ohio, organized' the State Militia and proceeded to Perrysburg to enforce Ohio’s claim, and open battle seemed certain. But after much maneuvering politically and otherwise, through a commission, consisting of Hon. Noah H. Swayne, William Allen and D .. T. Disney, Michigan was given the Northern Peninsula as a compromise, and the present northern boundary o f Ohio agreed upon. ■pnunMHBgimirmTi IFarmers Attention! pound •For Sale—Refrigerator, 50 capacity.

In fact Ohioans would be more than interested if they only knew how many farm leaders were on the state.pay -oil at some point along the lino. We still say the Farm Bureau did right in calling attention o f the public to the various budgets but now it is time for the people o f the state to ask the farm organizations to take a little more interest and insist on some cuts in the five million agri­ culture fund. In this day of over production with farmers being paid by Uncle Sam to cut production, it certainly is out o f place for the state of Ohio to appropriate such a sum to continue operations on so lavish a scale. The legislature is to be called in extra session in September to levy new taxes for various pur­ poses. These taxes will hit all classes of people. It will be interesting to watch the attitude of the Farm Bureau and how- much reduction it is willing to recommend that the five million can be shaved. Government activities have been curtailed with municipalities and counties in the face o f the state demanding more taxes for itself.

Historical Mileposts O f Ohio By C. S. Van Tassel (Copyrighted) PROSPERITY CROWDING ALMS HOUSES It is remarkable the extent the Roosevelt prosperity has grown the past two years. After experimenting months and months and spending billions and billions to cure unemploy­ ment what do wc find? First the unemployment situation has proven the real “ hot potato” and to cool the Roosevelt fingers it is tossed one da yto FERA and the second day to PWA and so on. Next, the New Dealers announce there will be no relief after August first. The day following that announcement there is a change o f mind and thep relief is to be renewed because the brain-truster-nuts have not yet formulated another new plan. Government agents travel the country telling state and county officials that Uncle Sam is no longer to be Santa Claus and bonds must be issued to meet the cost of feeding the un­ employed. This hits at the pocketbook o f the home owner. Farmers in western states are unable to ^et help for harvest due to the fact that the unemployed do not need em­ ployment as the government purser is open to them; State after state rebelled at the situation and the New Dealers closed re­ lief agencies during harvest to force the unemployed back to farm labor. Last week in reviewing the Cuyahoga situation the ques­ tion was asked how many were on any kind of relief back in 1929. The answer was 1,800 families in a county with a city o f more than a million people. Today there are 52,000 families on relief. Last year there were 38,000 families this same month. A few weeks ago the Hooven and Allison Co., Xenia, needed additional help to get out binder twine. It was hard to find, and an effort was made to get men on the relief list to go to work, but not one responded. Two weeks ago one morn­ ing we counted fifteen able bodied men sitting in front of the opera house, and at a time farmers were in need of additional help. What is the finswer to the situation we face? Funds ex­ hausted for old age pensions for applications pending. County homes all over the state crowded just as we find the one in Greene county. Local agencies in every city in Ohio supported by Community Chests are hampered by low funds yet in most every city doners are asked to increase gifts to care for those in need. * The answer is as plain as can be. There is not one half the business increase the New Dealers boast of. The cost o f pro­ duction has sent prices o f merchandise sky-high to be sold in a market that present day incomes will not absorb. No nation cap exist without a reasonable profit to producers whether in the factory, behind the counter or on the farm. With a nation spending capital and not profit we are going not only into deep­ er debt but backwards, instead o f forward. This is proven by the fact that 65 cents o f every dollar in circulation today is re­ sult o f government spending the nation’s capital. We can get no where on a safe basis on a margin o f 35 cents on the dollar It is a strange thing that the leading nation o f the world can be led into such a situation as we are today.
