FRIDAY, JUNE 19; 1936 RE-APPRAISEMENT SHOULD BE DEFERRED There is now a bill before the Ohio leg islatu re which if passed will postpone the re-app ra isa l of all rea l esta te in Ohio two years. Under th e p resen t law such app ra isa ls must be made every six years. The last app ra isa l was m ade in 1931 and th e nex t will be due in 1937. The proposed bill is a ll rig h t as f a r as it goes bu t it should be am ended to postpone th e app ra isa l due n ex t y e a r to 1943, Re-appraisal usually means increase in all p roperty values except in some unusual cases. The system in Ohio is a very expensive one, much more th an is necessary and p lanned back in the days when do llar bills grew on fence posts. As to the value of rea l esta te of today compared ’with 1929, when ev e rjih ing was abnormal it must be said t h a t values of th a t da te were f a r from the average value over a period of years including prosperous as well as depression years. One o f th e th ings t h a t he lped wreck th e country was abnormal values of rea l estate and on th is basis it is un fa ir under present conditions to consider revaluation with increased values in view. Jn as much as all county auditors a re more o r less under the control of the Ohio S ta te Tax Commission on ta x matters, the power lies in Columbus. The s ta te board has power to increase any value local app ra isers under th e direction of the . county aud itors m ight believe to be f a ir to a ll concerned. There has been some discussion in certain circles th a t all improvements on real estate, fa rm as well as urban property , should be on th e rep lacem en t value. To this we a re absolutely opposed and believe we rep resen t th e united sentiment of p rope rty owners in voicing our objection. We are in fo rm ed . by County Commissioner Clarence Schmidt, C lark county, , th a t he has enlisted th e suppo rt of th e F a rm Bureau in endorsing an amendment to the presen t bill ;to ppstpone re-valuation fo r ano ther six years. Inequalities in valuations can be cared fo r under the p resen t law by the boards of equalization composed of the county treasu rer, county aud ito r and presiden t of th e county commissioners in each county. Mr Schmidt says it would cost more th an $40,000 . to re-app ra ise C lark county property. County Aud itor James J . Curle tt of this county, informs us th a t ,it cost Greene county abou t $16,000 to re-appraise in 1931 . All counties a re su itering w ith .a shortage of revenue in th is s ta te due to demand fo r more money fo r relief, old age pensions, with still more in the making if Ohio adopts th e Roosevelt social security program . A t th is time the estimated cost a yrear fo r G reene-coun ty is placed a t $20,000. There must be some method adop ted to increase revenue to meet the la tte r and th is can only be done by increasing taxa tion in some form w he ther it is direct or indirect. Greene county is fac ing a financial shortage to m eet the p resen t demands fo r all purposes. Ju st last week the County Commissioners 'had to ask the Court of Common P leas fo r au tho rity to tran s fe r $8,000 from th e gasoline ta x funds to re ­ plenish the general fund. Recent laws and orders o f state boards and commissions has forced an unusual cost of operation on each county in th e state. We now face the problem of more . ta x mone 5 r or drop some of th e so-called activities th a t have been loaded on th e counties in Ohio. I t is your issue as a farm or home owner w he ther you wish higher valuations fo r taxa ­ tion purposes or a re trenchm en t in p resen t day operations. To endorse revaluations is bu t pu tting the stamp of ap- ’ proval on wha t has developed as a ra ck e t in the m anner in which re lief is adm inistered in Ohio, th e seed of which was sown by th e Roosevelt Socialistic-Communistic adm inistration in Washington. If th is program is to con tinue—Pay Day is a t .■.■"■Hand..; . This is your problem as a citizen and tax p ay e r and only by your openly expressed opposition can th e revaluation be deferred . Tie the hands of the Columbus tax spenders and politicians who a re eating as much if no t more of th e re lief funds than those actually on relief. Our view is th a t a ll re lief should be re tu rned to local au thorities in each community. We have discussed th is question with Representative W. R. McChesney, as he has with county authorities. He informs us th a t he will oppose revaluation nex t y e a r and support the . proposed p lan to postpone revaluation ano ther six years. City and sta te politicians can be expected to oppose this suggestion bu t th e ru ra l counties must stand toge ther o r ‘ be forced to. assume paid; of the re lie f load in th e cities. Those on re lief in ru r a l counties can ha rd ly endorse th e new proposed re lie f bill wherein a city residen t is to g e t a th ird more than those re ­ siding in the ru ra l counties. Gov. Davey a t his leisure time if nothing else prevents can always call the legislature in session to pass another relief law. Every few weeks the law making body is called to pass relief laws to eat into tax funds to ceep the Democratic inspectors, check­ ers, snoopers ana solicitors on the state payroll. Regardless of the claim that the New Deal has put two cars in every garage and a flock of chickens in the back yard, wo are told more people are on relief this year than last and that the situation in the larger cities is growing worse day by day. We do not doubt this for the. reason the Roosevelt federal white-collar politicians are making house to house canvasses seeking those who might be out on a strike, those who, won't work, those out of a job and those working that would pre­ fer relief to a steady job. Its your tax dollar the Democratic politicians have their eyes on and the -un­ fortunate used as the vehicle to carry the load and keep the political wheels moving. prominent part in the national cam­ paign; In fact sk -. v d ii.iv sits on the driver’s se.-.t it) Repubii.au circles in this state. The next step the Re­ publicans should take is to demand the repeal of the state law that places power in- the bauds of machine-poli­ ticians to control convention delegates and say just who and who cannot be candidates or even delegates to the next convention. Over in Columbus this week the manager, o f ,a wholesale paper house Rev, and AIis, C. E. Hill of the M, E. Church had for t ; « r guests Sun­ day, liieir son-in-law and daughter, Dr, and Mrs, Radford Potter and little daughter, Virginia Louise and Dr. Potter’s mother of Toledo. Their son, Air. H, Hru.ce Hill and wife of Loudon- ville, O., Mrs, Mable Thorojnan and daughter, Miss Edna, Captain and Mrs. Kite of Peebles, O., Mrs. Reatrice Handley of Greenfield, O. LEGAL NOTICE informed us that he had offered a man $15 a week to care for his lawn, flowers and shrubbery and do chores around the house. He offered steady employment for six months to the same man that in former years soli­ cited the job at $10 a week. The reason he would not take the-job this year was that he was drawing $17.50 a week on relief doing nothing and was afraid that if lie accepted a , job ne would be dropped from the relief rolls. This may be one of the ex­ amples why Gov. Davey keeps call­ ing the legislature to pass more relief laws that people should not be per­ mitted to starve, REPEAL OF SALES TAX ALL POLITICAL The suggestion this week by Gov. Martin L. Davey th a t the legislature remove th e sales tax from foods of course strikes a responsive cor'd. The sales tax has never been popu lar bu t it was a necessity. It is no doubt a popu lar move on the p a rt of the Governor, especially with an election only a few months away. I t is unusual th a t he should advocate such a repeal now in view of his silence during the Democratic prim ary when he came n e a r being defeated by Cong. Young,, who openly ad ­ vocated the repeal of the sales ta x on food and clothing. While th e Governor would have th e legislature drop the sales tax on food he makes no suggestion as to where th e state and different political subdivisions will ge t th e revenue now received from foods. Neither does he suggest any govern­ m ental retrenchments th a t would be the means of th e sta te saving money. This same, week he calls fo r more re lief legisla­ tion and where is th is money to come from. P a r t of th e sales tax goes to re lief under fo rm er legislation. It would seem th a t the Governor is more interested in votes th is fa ll th an the sta te m eeting its obligations. I t is na tu ra l th a t consumers would not jolif.v over a sales tax b u t ne ither state, county or municipal governments can function if th e re is no money. The schools, counties, townships and municipalities would suifer with the loss of the sales tax.

WEIGHT—Standard weights per bushel indicating qual­ ity and moisture which effect cereal and flour out-turn provide a justified penalty fpr below standard and premium for above standard. MOISTURE—Although water is heavier than wheat, it swells the grains making fewer grains per bushel, cutting down the weight. Shipping wheat with moisture above standard is trying ,to sell water at the price of wheat. We are equipped to accurately grade wheat so that you will not get disappointing returns and we handle grain instead of gamble. ________ : ; TO MEET COMPETITIVE PRICES WE OFFER THE HIGH GRADE RACKO TWINE AT $4.00 CASH.

Tuesday evening when we picked up a Columbus paper that has been New Deal from the Start of the Socialistic- Communistic administration in Wash­ ington. In the column of letters to the editor we find this shocking para­ graphs ' "Mr. Roosevelt is not a Democrat and I don’t blame the Republicans and Socialists for not wanting him. Neither is ho an American. He swore to defend the Constitution and he,has been, trying to destroy it ever since. He is a traitor and should not have been allowed to stay in, there. His family has dirtied up the White House, too, with divorces and scandals, He has done our country more harm than good, lie has dia- giaccd it. He is no American. The greatest good Mr, Roosevelt could do for the country would be to crawl in a hole and pull it in after him.’’ have Now that the Republicans cleaned house and nominated a na­ tional ticket that really has appeal, we can expect something else In the news columns of .he daily press other than the canned news about the Deal, new, old or rotten, just as you wish to term it. You have not been promised a section of the moon or a front seat in Glory, neither can the Kansas Governor make it rain. Coming from a western state and knowing what water famine is, he makes no claim of beihg able to grow trees on the alkali desert. From a popular song there is a line "Only God can make a tree” but tlie New Dealers not to be outdone promise a belt of trees across the desert where God planted only the cactus bush, If ever the bottom dropped out of a mushroom political growth it was when the Republican "favorite son” collapsed at the Cleveland convention last week, Of all the bushwa about this movement previous to tho conven­ tion wo have the contrast today of never'hearing it mentioned, Lnndon’s friends far outnumbered all oppon­ ents.. Col. Frank Knox, a presidential possibility, was credited with 38 pledged votes in the "favorite son” delegation, which left the trailers with little to offer. Clarence J, Brown, state leader for the Knox campaign, gets the credit of dropping the cur­ tain on several has-beens, He evident­ ly bad the commission as lie headed the list of delegates with the largest popular vote, He seconded the nominating speech of Col.
