PEOPLE In the fees of the most aggressive and sustained municipal ownership drive ever conducted in this country, voters through­ out the nation have consistently refuged, in the great majority of instances, to put their towns into the electric business. Now the f a r west prod '- ^ more evidence in support of the fact th a t the American electox ite is extremely dubious as to the wisdom of political operation of industry, A few weeks ago the voters of Portland, Oregon, were called upon to pass on a number of measures a t a special elec­ tion. Among these measures was one to appropriate $60,000 for certain valuation proceedings to fix the worth of the local private utility. Municipal ownership advocates fought hard in behalf of this measure,felling the people th a t it must pass if they were to receive the alleged benefits of the famed Bon­ neville Bam on the Columbia River, which the federal govern­ ment is erecting 40 miles from Portland. In all circles, the vote on fhe measure was regarded as an important gauge of the strength or weakness of municipal ownership sentiment among "the plain people/’ Result of the election must have caused the deepest sort pf gloom to descend on the municipal ownership group, which always seems to make much more noise than its size would justify. Portland voters not only defeated the measure—they slaughtered it, by a majority of something .like 5 to 1. And the voters were not simply in a general negative mood—they passed other measures on the ballot, including an appropriation for a new airport. ’ Portland voters defeated the measure because they know, tha t their private utility is'giving-them fine service at low rates. They defeated it because they don't want to throw, away another small fortune in chasing political wiU-o’-thC-wisps. . They defeated it because they know tha t when a town goes into private business, the almost inevitable, consequences are waste, inefficiency and even graft. In brief, they defeated it for.the same sound reason voters in. a hundred other American cities have defeated similar proposals to give politicians a political football—a t the taxpayer’s expense. SUPREME COURT KILLS, REFUNOER BILL The Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday found the high­ way refuhder bill passed by the state legislature as invalid, as was expected .when, the suit to contest the bill was first filed in the Clark County Common Pleas Court some months ago. Seventy-three Ohio counties, including Greene, joined in the suit asking tha t it be annuled. The bill was manifestly unfair to a large part of the state as all refunder legislation of that type proposed so fa r has been. Had the law stood the legal test Greene county would have lost several- thousand dollars in revenue. Prom the standpoint of fairness there can be no highway refunder legislation th a t permits refund of road assessments. I f farm land was to be eliminated from road assesment it is evident th a t property abutting on main highways traversing towns and cities must also escape improvement assessment. The question of fairness of assessment was not an issue . s it related to farm land, the decision being based on fairness be­ tween counties th a t 73 must pay the refunder bill in 15 other counties by Joss of revenue for that purpose. The town or city street nowadays is just as.mfich a part of our highway system as is any mile of .country road for the state has taken over control, even dictating whether^ traffic lights can be used, or not. The decision is welcomed by mpst of the state. The, law was passed for certain purposes, most of which have never been openly debated .. I t was only a few years ago tha t land owners were influenced to contribute to certain interests to get highway refunds. The contributions have been for naught so far. Y O U R B E S T CATTLE MARKET Sa le E v ery M onday SPRINGFIELD LIVE STOCK SALES CO. Shernura Ave. SPRINGFIELD, OHIO Main 335-J Just Arrived A CAR LOAD Dana Block COAL C.L.McGuinn TELEPHONE—-3 South Miller St, Cedarville, O, Says a prominent Rosa Twp, farm­ er whose family name for year* end years has been connected with the Democratic party: “I don't like th e 1 way the administration in Washing­ ton is running the country, and it seems no one knows where it is to ‘ end, or what it is to cost.” Said another Ross Twp. farmer: “Where are us farmers going to get labor'this summer when men live at government expense without work?” “We canpot hire men to husk Torn today. I am .tired and sick of this foolishness In Columbus and Wash­ ington.” In as much as this state­ ment was from a, lifelong Democrat farmer it-has a meaning all its own. In a local store last Saturday a farm tenant with hi* wife Were order­ ing some groceries. The farm hand had worked all week in the cold and wet and it took his week's pay to get some, shoes for the children and gro­ ceries to feed the family, . He return­ ed home with a -cent. . While' his market basket, was not-,full beside it stood a relief basket''stocked high and it went to a home labeled “un­ employed.” . Tho tenant looked about him and with head downcast as he lifted, hi? basket muttered* “What a fpol us country-jakes are anyway.” Such,-was. his idea of what; the Hew Deaf had done for him. Over in Germany and Italy if a newspaper speaks or criticises the government, or even a private citizen takes issue, the guilty become poli­ tical prisoners. FSome are banished to a. distant isle or a dark prison. You have heard much of the freedom of speech and of the press under the New Deal. Some days . ago Gen. (Hagood, 63, was put on the carpet for a slighting remark that Roosevelt WPA funds was nothing more than “stage money,” and nothing received for it. This upset the Roosevelt New Dealers and a court martial, was ordered. He Was found guilty and ordered removed. The whole affair, is but horse-play in which the General is humiliated and must stand a dis­ graced victim, of a presidential order in “Roosevelt’s peaceful revolution.” Even some of the Jeff Davis branch of southern democracy have rebelled at such tactics, Charleston, S. C., be­ ing Hagood’shome. And yet New Dealers say they never have tried to deny free spech.' ■; Some of the New Dealers in the North must, feel just a bit slighted when they read this week, of how pro­ fitable it is to have a front seat in the big communistic show. Walter J. Cummings,' treasurer of the Demo­ cratic National Committee sits among the mighty that weep and worry over the plight of the “forgotten man.” Ypf congress uncovers this week just what Walter draws in the way of salary among the list of “remembered Democrats.” His salary as chairman of the Board of Continental Illinois Bank of Chicago is $75,000. The bank has'an RFC loan from the New Deal­ ers amounting to $50,000,000. He also represents the RFC on the board of the Milwaukee & St. Paul By., at a salary of $15,000. How the Roose- velter’s must weep for the “forgotten man.” Roosevelt exclaims—soak the rich— down with trust companies—wipe out the utility companies—then runs up to Harvard to have part in a Million­ aire club, the Fly Club which now has on its membership roll the elder Roosevelt and three sons. The club is said to be one of the most Exclusive in the country and only sons of mil­ lionaire parents can afford to join or retain membership. In it are rich bankers, presidents of trust companies and utility heads along with scores of Wall Street operators. The “for­ gotten man” has a poor chance of playing the demogoic role of “Dr, Jekyl and Mr. Hyde.” The Republicans are not the only ones having* inter-party strife over national convention delegates. This week the Seventh District Democrats met in Springfield to make up a slate. From one or two speakers came the news that Gov. Davey has been the “best governor ever.” As a matter of form of course both national and state administrations' were endorsed. It would be interesting to know how many Democrats a t that gathering really were for finding opposition .to GoV Davey, ‘HEBALOWANTANDSALEADSPAT !>**>* The Roosevelt New Dealers are paying no attention to district dele gation meetings but continue to map out & state program of delegates to the coming Philadelphia convention. We read of many suggested named hut for jjome reason Gov. Davey and jChairman Poulaon are not in the list, iA New Dealer that supports Gov. j Davey this coming primary, and prob- ■ably next November, will likely find j himself off the government pay roll. } FOR SALE — Used double-tub .Dexter washer in fair condition and | dirt cheap.

Phone No. 1, BANKCHARTERING POLICYREVIEWED State Ol&clal Declares Correct Principles in Licensing Banks Ara Essential for Sound Banking Conditions , ’PHILADELPHIA. - Sound public policy ta eb*rter|ut-bsnk* was dis­ cussed by Carl K. Withers. Commis­ sioner or Banking and (aauranea of the State of New Jersey, before the Eastern Conference on Banking Service, held here recently under the auspices of the American Banker* Association. He de­ clared that “few question* bearing on the future stability dad security of oar banking systems loom as more Imper- tabt than that of a sound policy to be pursued In the chartering of banks" Alluding to competitive policies ot both state and national backing an thorltlea to charter, the moat banka In the past, he said that “this country was over-banked, and that aside from any other consideration, economic nr other wise, this condition was brought about largely through an unwise, unsafe and unthinking charter policy, alternating between the stale'and national aye toms, which has- marked and ham pored banking progress In this country since Its Very Inception." Politicallniuence fie decried political considerations iu connection with the chartering of .banks, saying: “Political influence has no more place In"banking than It has ip the deliberations of our highest tribunal—The Supreme Court of the United States. Until Ibis Is recognized .aiid brought Into, being within both our state and national, systems, wo may ‘'never feel' safe against the shitting Bapds of political expedience." As to the “element of sometimes ridiculous competition heretofore ex­ isting between the state and uatiouai systems." he said that much may be said in favor or the progress made iu recent years. In minty states there ex lets a practical working-agreement be tween local supervising authorities and' the federal authorities, whereby all charter applications are mutually considered on a basis of community need rather than competitive advan. cage as between systems. In some states this arrangement goes even rur iher in the refusal of the one authority to even consider a charter white pend Ing with the other, he declared. Aside from the competitive and po litical aspects of our future charter policy,.he continued, there are several otberamore Individual and local which merit consideration. Among these he mentioned honesty of purpose, com munity need, the character of manage nteot and adequacy of capital. Most state laws make reference to the "character,3.reipouslbliity and Al­ ness" of the Itfcprporators of a new bank, be said, continuing: "So Important do i conceive this fac tor to be, that I place it first among tboss for consldsratfon, for unless the motive Is sounds,bonut and sincere, there Is little likelihood that tbs'result­ ant Institution Ih Its service to the community wilt reflect other than-the spirit pf Its founders, ' Tbs L mimi of tbs Past “Too often lb tils pest have chapters boou granted to promoter* purs-and simple--not always purs, sod by no - means simple: The country wgs dotted with such, The experience has been ' costly end, It Is to be hbped. tbs lesson well learned, not only by charter-grant- 1 ing authorities, but the public.” Other factors to be considered as among tbs most Important in granting new bank charters, he said, are the number of Institutions already serving the area, the record of earnings of ex­ isting Institutions, the number of fail­ ure* since 1920, qud the reasons there­ for, public convenience and advantage, the reasonable prospects for growth of tbs community, expectation & prof­ itable operation and whether a branch bank could serve as well. “Sound public'policy demands that no new banks bs chartered unless there is a definite, necessitous end permanent need," be declared. “Sound mergers, consolidations and the sen­ sible extension or braneb banking are much to bs preferred urany general- movement toward a flood of new char­ ters. But hers again we must guard carefully against monopoly or un­ bridled braneb competition, either'of which might become as dangerous as tbs organization of new banks." •Public Confidence Challenging a recently published statement that there Is an "apparent lose of public confidence In banks,' William A. Boyd of llbaca. N, V., aska why, if this were true, bank de; posits are constantly increasing, "i maintain that any banking fnsiltuttor.’ which has continued to aerve its com munity since the trying days o* turn must be enjoying the respect and cm fldence of that community, ami t an. sure that the very large' majority ot banking Institutions which have conn through this degression have never ban to "regatn' public confidence,'' he says.

The lesson should not be taught In a general way as pertaining to vision and service. The particular vision herein set forth- Is the unveiling of the majestic per­ son of the Son of God, with an epit­ ome of the messianic kingdom. Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and went into the mount to pray. His chief aim In retirement wan to get the disciples Into a state of receptlvltly'so that he might show them the reality and method of his kingdom. Before>golng Into' the mount, be declared. that there were some standing in his presence who would not taste death until they should see the Son ’of man coming In his kingdom (Luke 0:27; cr. Matt. 16:28). That their drooping spirit* might be revived and their confidence restored, he was transfigured before them. Two men from the upper. world were sent to converse with him about his ap- pronching death In Jerusalem (v. 81)— the very thing about which the dis­ ciples refused to talk. Then, too, God’s own voice was heard In words of approval of Christ’s course, direct­ ing them to hear the Master. Surely now they cannot doubt his ability to carry to execution bis kingdom plans. The purpose, then; of the transflgura- .tJon was to give the disciples a fore­ gleam of the coming kingdom, to en­ able them to see the kingdom In Its embryonic form. That this is true Is not only shown by the context and circumstances, but by the inspired In­ terpretation of one who was with him and knew all that transpired (see II Pet. 1:16-19, It. V.). Let ns, there­ fore, note tbe,'outstanding features of the kingdom as displayed In the trans­ figuration. I. Jesus Christ tha Glorified King on Mount Zion (vv. 28, 20). Jesus glorified on the mount to which they went to pray was Intended to symbolize the messianic kingdom as It will be when Christ returns literally to the'Mount of Olives-In Jerusalem (Zecli. 14:447). . It. The Glorified Saints.With Christ ( it . 30, 31). 1. Moses, who was once denied en­ trance'Into Palestine, appears now In glory, representing the Redeemed of the Lord .who after death shall pass Into the kingdom. Many thousands of the redeemed, have fallen asleep, and at the coming of the. Lord shall be awakened to appear in the kingdom with him. 2. Elijah, now glorified, represents the redeemed who shall pass Into the kingdom through' translation. Many, shall lie living upon the earth when the Lord comes, and' shall, without dying, be changed, and thus pass Into the kingdom (1 Cor, 15:50-83; I These: 4:14*18). a The topic ot conversation (v. 81). It was the death of Christ, the very thing the disciples refused to believe. III. Israel in ths Flesh In Connec­ tion With the Kingdom, Represented by Pater, James, and John (v, 28), Israel shall be called from their hid­ ing place among the nations of the earth and shall .be gathered to Jeans Christ, the King, as the central peo­ ple In the kingdom (Ezek. 37:21-27). Christ Is the King of the Jews. 1. Peter's proposal to build three tabernacles (r, 83). The Feast of the Tabernacles looked forward to the glorious reign of Christ. Peter caught a glimpse of the significance of the transfiguration. DIs proposition showed that he apprehended the meaning of the Feast of the Taber­ nacles and, therefore, his proposition substantially was, “The millennium is come; let us celebrate.” i. The divine voice (v. 85). At this time God himself uttered words which assured them that the transfigured one was his Son, Jesus Christ, IV. Ths Multitude at ths Foot of the Mount (vv, 87*48), The people here were grievously op­ pressed by the devil, as Illustrated by the demon-possessed lad, There are times when the devil Is especially ac­ tive In the affairs of men. The mul­ titude a t the foot of the mount Is rep­ resentative of the nations which shall be brought Into .the kingdom which shall be established over Israel (Isa, 11:10-12). laqaivy Inquiry Is human; blind obedience, brutal.
