FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1936 THE MAGIC WAND SWINGS WIDE AND FAR • Two years ago when the desert west suffered intense heat and high winds, moving the shifting sand for hundreds of miles and leaving farm crops exposed to the sun only to be withered, came forth the Roosevelt magic wand to save the devasteted sections. Then it was a belt of trees farther west that would be one hundred miles wide and extend from the Canadian border on the north to the Gulf of Mexico on the south. Up until the appearance of the Roosevelt wand only the cactus bush and jack rabbit graced the desert for in all the generations of civil­ ization in America, God had never provided a single tree. Thousands o f trees were set out even against the advice of the Conservation Department, but who dared dispute the power of the magic wand ? The net result was the sun, without rain, had more power over the young trees than did the Roosevelt wand. Magic failed in this instance but magic still stands out, just the same old method of illusion. Two weeks ago while the Coughlinites were in convention in Cleveland, the Roosevelt magic wand was again in play, this time to change the course of rivers in the flooded districts in Pennsylvania. There was demonstration of the wand that could control the rain fall or the waters on the surface .of Pennsyl­ vania. The journey ended in Cleveland weeks ahead of an­ nounced schedule. The trip was to draw attraction away from Father Coughlin. The flood inspection trip was only the excuse. When reports indicated Lemke, the Coughlin candidate for president was making great gains in the northwest, out came the magic wand for an airing but this time to control the heat and deliver rainfall over the Dakotas. Magic works both ways, it can deliver rainfall or control floods, depending on the eye being unable to detect the clever movement of the hands. There is no magic in politics, which always has and always will work under cover for that reason came the announcement that there was no politics in the Roosevelt trip to the west. SAYS DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARDS ARE A HANDICAP Ohioans have just been informed this week that district school boards, there being 10,508 board members of the state, “ are the biggest handicaps we have in the state,” so says E. L. Bowsher, state director of education in Ohio,'a political ap­ pointee of Gov. Davey This statement was made Tuesday before a Hamilton County Teachers’ Institute in Cincinnati. Bowsher also said: “ You would be surprised at the political and personal scheming of many members to attain their own selfish ends.” We do not doubt but that part of the Bowsher statement is true so far as “ scheming” is concerned but his indictment of the whole school board setup in Ohio can be challenged. There are men and women, and by the hundreds, that are giving unselfishly of their talent and their time towards advancement of the schools. It was only two years-ago that the school “ schemers” in Columbus, Democratic politicians, that backed a law abolishing the two dollar fee that had been paid board members. It was onlyhollow mockery as a gesture of economy for not a dollar of the high salary of the state director was lopped off. It the school board member‘is not entitled to something for his time, then it is time to abolish all boards of education, local and county, and adopt the dictatorship plan ns desired by all politicians. For some years every method, has been adopted that might lead toward taking local control of the schools from the parents and taxpayers by abolishing local boards of education. Once we reached that stage we will fall to the level of Germany where Hitler rules supreme, even on religious matters. We do not doubt but that the. various boards of the state are a “ thorn in the flesh” o f any director o f education, but be it as it may, the* present plan is better than dictatorship with a director of education supreme, than have the “ thorn in the flesh” of every taxpayer or school, patron. It matters not what administration is in power in Ohio, with the director of education in complete control of our schools* , book, coal and supply purchases; would open the way to “ easy ii picking” for the politicians. Then too, the school teacher would have to have the endorsement of some central committeeman before he or she could be considered for the job. Under a Democratic administration, Republican teachers would have no chance, and just the same if the adminsitration Republican. Director Bowsher has put the wrong foot forward in at­ tacking 10,000 board members in Ohio. Better be our churches controlled by politicians than have our public schools controlled under a plan of-dictatorship and dropping local control. Dictatorship is in the air in Washington. It is a Demo­ cratic creed. Bowsher has caught the spirit of the times _Publisher Willian Randolph Hearst certainly is a big issue in the present presidential contest. Southern Kluxer Senators are pouring fire-water in large gallonage to burn Hearst at the stake, using his religion as a basis of unpatriotic citizenship. To listen to Sen. Joe Robinson, you would think that Hearst was himself a candidate for president, rather than London or Roosevelt. Four years gao Hearst was strong for Roosevelt and the Democratic ticket. Hearst is a Demo­ crat and o f course could not follow Roosevelt Foui'. years ago Hearst platform out the White House, window to follow advise from his circle of Communistic professors. Four years ago Hearst. put a score of his daily papers behind the Roosevelt campaign and it is said he also dropped some­ thing like half a million in different forms in the Democratic war chest. Four years ago Hearst was a good fellow, even ,with the Southern Klux­ ers, who forgot his religion, Now that he repudiates Roosevelt, the Kluxers are plastering the south against the publisher. 23' A .B .C .o /T A X E S BY BERT POSTER HOW CAN TAXES BITE YOU? . • * • T O understand the tax question we must first see wljnt taxes can do to every one of us, 1. Taxes can take our property, because they are a first mortgage an dahead of everything else, 2. Taxes can take what they see fit out of our income, 3. Taxes can make us pay every time we spend money. 1 “ The power to tax Is the power to destroy .”—Chief Justice John Marshall. Mr. A. L, Flatter having rented hir farm, will hold a public sale, Wed­ nesday, Sept. 16, at- which time live stock, farm machinery and feed will’ be sold, Mr. Flatter expects to move his tenant house to a site along the Miami river and will remodel same with modern improvements for lus own use. - While the fight centers about Hearst, Roosevelt has never uttered a word against his former benefactor. Robinson attacks not only the pub­ lisher, but his newspapers, his nation­ wide news service and his picture news reel service. • It is not likely that Roosevelt will forget Hearst. It is said that Hearst following the elec­ tion four years ago made one of the Roosevelt sons a vice president o f one of the Hearst companies.. Roosevelt proposes a conference that the King of England, President of France, Hitler and heads o f other nations gather to discuss peace. Both ’ the State Department and the War Department knew nothing of this pro­ posal, which Was a secret but leaked out across the water. England ans­ wers that the King reigns but does not rule. Mussolini answers that- he has eight million trained men ready for instant duty. The Roosevelt pro­ posal sounds like that old voice from the grave, “ He kept us out o f War,” •. and Franklin was assistant Secretary of the Navy during the World War. | Once Roosevelt sets foot on European j soil, America will find herself in the1 grasp o f the foreign War Lords. Names o f forty-nine crippled chil­ dren in Greene County , have’ been certified by the county auditor’s office to Juvenile Judge S. C. Wright as eligible for .financial aid for medical treatment.

Ohio had a similar law but it only served to enlarge the pro­ fits o f the milk trust, and the law was permitted to . die. Last week 7,500 milk producers in a meeting agreed to dump their milk if th»#state board did not force payment of $3 a hundred which had been promised weeks ago. The old price o f $2.40 is still being paid. Gov. Lehman made bold pro­ mises in support o f the higher price but the labor unions protested that such a price to the farmer would mean milk would be a luxury to ’the poor;. The Governor, whom Roosevelt insist­ ed should seek a thifd.term, let the farmers fall. Importing Canadian wheat and com for South America by Roosevelt is only to keep the price down to the producer. A Columbus liquor dealer paid a Democratic politician in Democratic headquarters $700 to protect his li­ cense. The Liquor Board held a hear­ ing which involved even the con­ trolling head o f the party. Now the board wants to prosecute the liquor, dealer as a warning to other license holders not to welch when being held up for the campaign fund.

SPRINGFIELD Another Bond Issue For Prosperity Relief The county commissioner* will sub­ mit to a vote o f the people in the county a $9,500 bond issue for relief purposes. Abond issue fo r $35,000 was approved by the county, in 1935, schools and the various taxing dis­ tricts, The Carey act is the modern method o f “ robbing Peter to pay Paul.” A number o f Ohio counties have turned down bond issues under the Carey act, and are being supported from funds provided by the state legislature. The utility companies are out little for the Tax Commission grants a re­ duction in valuation that helps offset the relief tax. Reduction in the duplicate means less general tax for schools and the various taxing “ rob­ bing Peter to pay Paul.” THE RICOCHET 415 Land Bank Loans In Greene County Recording to reports there have Leen 415 loans to the amount o f $1,- 426,000 made by tbe Federal Land Bank in Greene county.
