In these days w ith our economic situation such as it is and w ith no reasonable assurance th a t any one hundred pe r cent cure h a s been proposed to guaran tee th a t w h a t w e have experi- ‘ enced the past five years, w ill not b e dup licated a ga in ; th a t the nation as a whole fa c e s a t a x load starting n ex t y e a r to p a y f o r th e various “ cu t and t r y ” experiments, it w ill be w e ll to proceed slow ly on any bond issue such as h a s been proposed, and be certain th a t th e fa rm and home owners, who must fo o t the b ill, are g iv en a ll the fa c ts. I t was only a f e w w eeks ago th a t a h igh ly pa id state poli­ tician visited the county u rg ing m erger o f the county and X en ia c ity hea lth units, as an economy measure, Qn th e su rface it had a certain appea l bu t th e genera l public w a s not to ld tha t a tine po litica l plumb awa ited th e cen tralization o f these units. . W ith a hea lth officer a t a sa la ry o f $ 3,600 a yea r, assistants, stenographers, field workers, etc,, the county would start off w ith a sa laried list th a t wou ld reach $ 10,000 annually. The scheme would have been a fine* th ing fo r X en ia city, as the townships and v illage s would c a rry th e heavy end o f the load , ju s t as is being done a t present w ith the Xenia C ity L ibrary. W e recite th e se undisputed fa c ts be fo re de lving into the proposed county hospital. I f w e are correct th e first step fo llow ing decision to erect a hospital, supposedly to care f o r the le s s fortunate, w ill be th e appointment o f bu ild ing trustees by Governor Davey, These trustees w ill have the sa y where such a bu ild ing w ill be erected and w h a t it shall cost. Once th e structure is opened fo r patients/ control through other trustees, again passes to Columbus authorities as to how it sh a ll be operated, irrespective o f costs. You can see from this tha t about a ll the ave rage citizen in the county w ill have to sa y w ill be voting approva l and then pay ing the b ill in the w a y o f taxes, which w ill be co llected from a ll rea l estate in the county. Taxes trill be lev ied fo r payment o f both bonds and upkeep, the county Commissioners even hav ing little to say as to management. W e do not ob ject to th e erection o f a county hospital fo r the purpose announced, aid fo r the wards th a t now are provided f o r b y the county commissioners and township trustees. ‘ Greene county needs just such an institution and w e endorse such i f erected under management o f count}' officials . responsible to the taxpayers o f the county and operated by those responsible to the coun ty and not to some political pow er in Columbus. The county now owns a substantial brick buildding on th e Infirmary ground w est o f Xenia. It is in a fine location, hea lth­ fu l and f a r enough from a main h ighw ay fo r quiet. A f e w thousand do llars would m ake the building fireproof and la rge .enough to care fo r indigent cases from over the county. Meals , could be served from the county kitchen. W ith th is bu ild ing and site a lready provided a ll the hospital needs o f the county could be cared fo r and maintain- ance and ownership held within the confines o f the county, not in a po litica l bureau in Columbus. W ith economic conditions as they are, and one o f the short­ est crops in the la s t fifty yea rs possible in the county, we have little to w o rry ove r any $100,000 bond issue receiving a fa vo r ­ ab le vote o f approva l. T h e county can have its own hosp ital on lines above mentioned. When a ll is known in connection w ith the proposed $100,000 bond issue, the voters w ill need little enlightenment on how to ca s t the ir vote.* WILE THE SAME RULE BE APPLIED? Now th a t the petitions bearing some 330,000 names fo r the Union P a r ty and seek ing a p lace on the November ba llo t in Ohio, have been filed w ith the Secretary o f State, the election boards in the various counties must check the petitions. In as much as the election machinery o f the state is in Democratic hands and the Coughlihites have handled the New Deal ad- , ministration rough ly in the w a y o f criticism, there will be a close canvass o f the petitions fo r absence o f the dotted “ i” or the crossed “ t,” th a t as many names m ay be declared invalid as possible. B y so doing the Union P a r ty petitions could be con­ signed to the waste-paper basket. Th is would leave the fo llow ­ ers o f Fa the r Coughlin out in tbe cold and g ive Roosevelt as the N ew D ea l D ictator a better chance. The Democratic party in Ohio has sponsored the repeal of the sales ta x on food s fo r home consumption. Petitions laid around on store counters and ye t someone had to sign Under oath t h a t he or she witnessed the signing o f each name, W e are wondering i f the Democratic election officials w ill use the same ru le fo r measuring lega lity o f names on the sales tax re feren dum th a t w ill b e forced on th e Union P a r ty petitions* Our best judgm en t leads us to believe tha t Fa the r Coughlin is in fo r a trimm ing and th a t th e sales t a x petitions w ill be found to be 100 pe r cent perfect. , I f such i s the case th a t th e Union P a rty is to be denied a p la ce on the ba llo t a t th e hands o f the Democratic machine, it does not mean th a t Union Party- fo llow ers w ill be denied an opportunity to vote against th e “ Communist” now occupying the cha ir once held by George Washington. In the face o f one o f the greatest shortages in farm crops in recent years, as reported Monday by the Agricultural Department, fanners witnessed a drop in the price o f com and wheat. With the report came the unwelcome news that it would be necessary'to import both wheat and corn. Buyers Of grain of course would not bid up. on grain with the goyero- met openly announcing that foreign grain would he let in to compete with local grain. Two weeks ago when the price o f wheat took a tumble it leaked out that the New Dealers had lifted the lid and let in several hundred thousand* bushels of wheat at one time from Canada., The American market under the New Deal is evidently for the foreigner, not the American farmer. The farmer is between two mill-stones, foreign com­ petition with that which-he has” to sell, and continued advances in all that he has to purchase, due to the Roose­ velt policy of turning the government bv er to the labor unions. With a tight lid on Canadian wheat the price would go to $ 1.25 a bushel within a week. Shut out Argentine com and com would bring -as much as wheat. The city union labor must be protected in exchange for votes in November. Hie New Deal has counted the farm vote as “bought and paid for” some time ago. Roosevelt will and the reason why a 1 trust company atoyd first over the eon \ aa manager o f the vast estate. Landon. { had no family ’ inheritance and was forced by years o f bard labor to get a hold as an independent oil producer, Roosevelt has been on the government or New York state payroll since the Wilson administration- His legacy to New York state was a state banded debt o f more than $600,000,000, prob­ ably tbe reason why “ papa” Roosevelt' thought best to leave the .estate in safe hands with the trust company. Mallon'a memory on the New York state debt was hazy evidently for, no where did ho mention it. The Greene County Fair closed one of the moot successful meetings last week in recent years. Not only was theire a bigger paid attendance by adding the night feature to the pro­ grams, but there were greater dis- displayed and more interest, The board for many, many years rented or leased the grounds but back in 1924 the board" purchased the grounds and buildings for something like $15,500, This week the: last dollar of debt was lifted from the grounds. During the past eleven .years there have been, many major improvements such as a modern grandstand, new halls , and part o f the horse stables rebuilt after a fire. Secretary Robert Bryson re- porteds the>board now has an Invest­ ment o f about $40,000. One of the next steps for improvement should be enlargement of the grounds to care for more automobiles and increasing the. seating capacity of the ‘grand stand from 1,500 to at least 2,500. The fair in an established institution in the county for many years to come. Congressman Zioncheck, New Deal­ er, -star performer in the Roosevelt “revolution,*1 ended his checkered career this week by jumping from a five story window in Seattle, WasBi. No member of Congress from the first down to the last ever ‘held first page like Zioncheck. jVhether on home or foreign soil the Congressman put on unusual stunts, bordering most times on the rediculous. He was noted for the famous formula used in “ Zipper Cocktails,” which-probably was the basis,for bis many excursions that brought embarrassment to New Deal leaders. Time after time he was chased by police and finally landed in an institution for “ observation” and succeeeded in breaking from his guards. One day he announced be would not seek re-election only to an­ nounce the next that he had filed his petition. His death. closed a hetic career superinduced by an over supply at times o f Roosevelt liquor. IS THE CONSUMER THE FORGOTTEN MAN 7 Unprejudiced authorities are g radua lly bringing to the attention o f -the Am erican people the f a c t th a t so-called “ f a ir trad e practices” legislation proposed in Congress is grossly “ un fa ir” to the interest o f the consumer. One o f the la test voices to be heard is tha t o f Malcolm P M cNair, Professor o f M arketing o f H arvard University. In a , le tte r to the chairman o f a House.committee, Mr. McNair sa id : ' “ Thfe principal sa feguard o f the consumer today is to be found in the policies o f the g rea t m a jority o f large-scale re ta iler dis­ tributors . . . . W ith ve ry f e w exceptions the large-scale re ta ile r enterprises .today are fighting th e consumer’s ba ttle .' Congress ce rta in ly w ill not'be serving the consumer's interest by tipp ing the ba lance o f the scale fa r th e r toward the manufacturer’s side.” I f advocates o f proposed law s to curb reta il competition win out, the consumer w ill be the rea l “ forgotten man” o f the country. The middleman w ill, iiv effect, be subsidized a t his expense. Various merchandising) practices which make it possible to lesson the cost spread between producer and con­ sumer w ill be outlawed . Reductions in the cost o f necessities, no tab ly foods, Will be made next to impossible. Experts fo re ­ ca st th a t food prices alone would a c tu a lly increase more than 10 p e r cent, - .. , . , . , , ch is the most important a t stake, is being overlooked.

BRICKER Democratic fo rces in Ohio received a severe jo lt this w eek when the C leve land ,P la in Dea ler, Democratic, largest d a ily in Ohio, announced its support o f John W . Bricker, Republican cand idate fo r Governor, over Governor Martin L. Davey, Demo­ crat, seek ing re-election. . Tho editorial announcing the endorsement o f B ricke r an­ nounces th e change as due to th e fa c t th a t the governor has not measured up <dther to the promises or th e expectations o f 1984 , The editorial fu r th e r charges th a t Gov. D avey has no t been * statesman and th a t he la cked constructive effort? Harmony with acapital “H” was the word handed out by the Demo­ cratic National and State Committees. For nearly two years* Roosevelt has been trying to keep his heel on Gov, Davey, who exposed the rottenness in Ohio federal relief. The Governor crossed swords with Administrator Hopkins and the internal party war­ fare has continued. Each side wiil have its own campaign headquarters in the state yet will “cooperate,” ac­ cording to public announcement. Davey wants to grandstand with Koosavelt for the campaign opening which was expected to be held in Cleveland, The New Dealers did not want the “Duke o f Kent” as they call ‘ he Governor, so Roosevelt, comes to Cleveland this week but not for speech. It had been arranged that had their been a speaking program, the Governor would have invited him­ self and taken a seat on the platform. Harmony is correct in party factional disputes. We stopped to josh with a Dem­ ocrats friend several days ago. With him was his wife, who found oppor­ tunity of expressing her views on political trend of the times. This friend is recognized as a follower of Jefferson and hot sold on near all that Roosevelt is doing. Like others, when we mentioned the Democratic gather­ ing in Detroit, he does not relish leav­ ing* the party, but thinks the halter should be applied to Roosevelt's “rule or ruin” policy, as he expressed it, One side of that Democratic house hold has definite ideas as to Roose­ velt, whops the wife supported for her first presidential vote. Not express l.rg a preference among candidates on other tickets, her v5tw was about in these words: “ I could never think of voting for Roosevelt, again. ' The Roosevelts have done more to break­ down the morals o f the people of this country than all the presidents from Washington down.” If the Demo­ cratic feminine vote is to take that view, there may be some breakers ahead that catt not be side-stepped. Paul Mellon* Washington columnist, who writes a story each day of Wash­ ington apd the New Deafl, comes about as near being the professional defend­ er and apologist for the RoOsevelts as might be expected from Democratic National Press headquarters. Father Coughlin's words about the Roosevelt Jamily finances and reference to the will o f “ pap*” Roosevelt, leaving his ' million dollar estate in trust, rather haw trust the management of his sort, Frankie, brings out a Monday story from Nation, who pictures the estimated wealth of Roosevelt about equal to that of Landon. Nation goes into detail as to the Roosevelt family rtcome but o f course does not mention the first paragraph o f the original Federal Pike To Be Resurfaced Greene County Commissioners and Ross Twp. trustees have entered into a joint agreement to hard surface with tar treatment one and seven-tenth’ miles of the Federal pike, and that section o f the Jamestown-Selma pike in Ross Twp. The township will re­ imburse the county board for $2,500 of the total cost, the remainder to be financed by the county. Greene County Gets $537,749 For Loans According to Gen. Benedict Crowell, state' director for the National Emer­ gency, 248 citizens in Greene county received $537,749 from the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, the past three years. A total of 98,557 home owners in Ohio received $305,881,793. Taxes and assessments amounted to $21,881,000 and the average loan was $222,00, Subscribe to THE HERALD TIMES DISTILLED r* f o * .

Most o f the trench silos are buOt in day soils but tbe. one at the Uni­ versity was btfilt in a gravel ledge dr bank, and the silage appeared to be of as good quality as in the silos where tibi* soil was heavier, 3$hl* silo was filled between September 27 and 30 and the com was so dry that water was added as it went into' the silo,./. ' The trench was about 50 feet long, 12 feet wide at top, and sloped to a width o f 6 feet oh the bottom where the trench was 7 -feet deep. R. C. Miller o f the agricultural engineer­ ing department says the side walls should be sloped inward even if the walls are to be reinforced with brick or concrete, The silage appears to pack better as it settles against the walls and eliminates air pockets. The silage at the University was packed by running a rubber-tired tractor over tbe silage while the silo was being filled. Enough silage was placed in the trench so that it extend­ ed two feet above the ground surface but timbers had been placed along the sides so the silage was; only a foot above them. Two inches o f poor quality hay was chopped and placed on the Bilage, This was covered with six inches of straw, Acovering of dirt was placed on the straw but re­ sults indicated that~the~dirt was use­ less,. ■ The silo was opened in December arid the last feeding was taken out June 1. An 18-inch vertical slice was removed when the silo was first open ed but it took five or six days,to feed thlsamOUtttof SitagesCrid itw ss found more practical to expose only an 8- inch slice which could be feed ia two days. Very little o f the ensilage spoiled* Trench silos can be built with a plow and a scraper. To store silage enough for 10 cows the trench should bo approximately six feet deep, five or six feet wide at the bottom, and eight feet wide on top. It will require about eight feet o f ‘ length for each month that silage is to be fed. Women Earn Little With Pump Handles Sweat -Shop* Are Gold Mine* When Compared with Wages Paid Homemakers - People who have worried about the pay women and children get in sweat shop* should shift their attention to the wages an Ohio homemaker earns by pumping water, if her wages are considered as the amount of money saved by hand labor instead of us­ ing power line electricity to do tbe work.* Of course, it formerly was impos­ sible for thousands of farms to get electrical service so the water had to be pumped by hand or by windmills or engines but the recent building of power lines has made it possible to hire electrical servants on many farms. One farm on the Marysville experimental power line use* an Average o f 177,000 gallons o f water a year. Twenty-seven thousand gal­ lons o f water came from, the cistern and the other 150,000 gallons front the well, ' . I, P, Blauser, specialist in agri­ cultural engineering, Ohio State Uni­ versity, -says that it would take 59 days o f 10 hours each to pump that water by hand at the rate o f 300 gal­ lons per hour,. At the rate paid for electrical power on that farm, a wo­ man would earn two cents an hour, twenty cents for a 10-hour day, for pumping the water. The 59 day* at the pump would be only the beginning of the woman’s work because each bucket of water would have to be lifted and carried to the place where it was used. Great fiction writers have, brought tear* to their readers' eyes by telling of the harrowing Experiences of poor sailors who had, to work tho pumps to keep tjfeip ship Irop) sinking, The a#iJor* at least had company at the punipr.
