The power of the state guard- ionship was temporarily transferred upon the county commis­ sioners, who were to issue the orders to the township trustees. However the county commissioners and ah appointed case worker were to contini o to be the representatives of the state and fedei’al government. Xenia city and the twelve townships will be called upon to pay the bills as contracted for by the .case-worker, who is not responsible to the trustees in any way. The meeting in Xenia last Thursday evening was quite a surprise, to the representatives of the various township trustees that had been called together to “ get their orders.” In fact the program was very distasteful to most of the trustees, who did no sign up the agreement until some heated words had passed and some very plain talk indulged in by several persons present. The trustees were unanimous in opposing a case worker in their townships and there is a legal question involved yet as to •whether any township is legally liable for bills incurred by any one other than the trustees. A taxpayer’s injunction suit on the payment of these bills might create an embarrassing situation not only to the trustees but the merchant that sells the merchandise. - •We have hastially scanned the names of those that have been receiving relief. Some we know personally and. are worthy of relief from some quarter. There are others unknown to the writer but there are far too many “ won’t-workers” and unde­ sirables. We fear if the list would be made public, and we see no reason at this time for publication of same, there would be a hasty rebirth of several of the protective associations in the county. We suggest that you call at the proper head­ quarters and scan the list for yourself. It will interest you as a citizen. It is not the officials that should suffer all the criticism that is being heaped on them for this situation any, more than the merchants that sells the goods; It is the rotten system being forced at present on unwilling township trustees that every citizen that knows the inside of the relief movement, must object to at this time. We should have more public criticism and not so much mumbling behind the doors. The politician has no fear of the coward but he does have reason to object to the searchlight of investigation that will reveal something every honest citizen will protest. • Una » \ s to \verr. * ' * « * ; jl .*.. " Ji.htl lYitji +* XviLUti g it J .1 A! - I-' COURT PACKING PLAN DANGEROUS PROCEDURE When the proposal to increase the membership of the Supreme Court was first made, it was widely believed, by the bill’s opponents as well as backers, that it would be endorsed in the Senate by a handsome majority. Today, the most authoritative surveys and estimates indi­ cate that the majority in favor of the bill is extremely, slim— two or three votes. A number of senators originally believed ‘ to be for it have recently come out in opposition. -What has caused this change? Several elements are in­ volved—but the most important of all is the force 'of public opinion. It is no secret that every congressman’s mail has ' bulged with letters discussing the proposal, and that the major-, ity have opposed it." The metropolitan and rural press is over­ whelmingly opposed. So are most of the nation’s most respected political and economic commentatoi's. More and more, partisanship is disappearing in regard to ■packing the high court. The people and their representatives are realizing that here is one of the most vital issues the country has yet faced, and that it must be debated on grounds of prin­ ciple, not politics. Thj.t is a heartening sign. When the Senate Judiciary Committee by a vote of 10 to 8 turned down the court packing plan on Tuesday, it might ap­ pear as if there was hope of the legislation being shelved. The same day a conservative member of the court announced his intentions of resigning his honored position sometime in June, after the court recess. This at once makes it possible for John L. Lewis to make his endorsement to Franklin D. Roosevelt ^s to who should be named. The next appointee must be a radical labor supporter to pay an election promise; he must also be what is termed a liberal to pay the liquor interests for election support; he must be a so-called Democrat with Com­ munistic background. One tiling is sure no 100 per cent con­ servative Democrat will be offered the appointment anymore than a conservative Republican, ffl ffl • . It will be the first time in the history of this nation, or so far as we know o f any nation, where an appointment will be made to the highest court of the land of one that must be pledged to upset a modest fortune in the hands of a trust Company beyond the life of the son, who the father regarded as unfit to manage even his own affairs. When control of the Supreme Court passes to the repre­ sentatives of the mob we have witnessed the first act of the Communists in overturning a free democratic government. The only redeeming feature of the situation is that so-called Demo­ crats as well as Repuublicans must suffer the consequences alike. Certainly treason can be charged against officials in Lancaster, O., and Fairfield county. The city has several prosperious industrial concerns one of which is a glass factory that employs 3,400 people. Lancaster a year or so ago had a bitter experience during' a strike o f shoe factory emplqyees. To head off more trouble being fomented by an Italian labor leader under the John L. Lewis and Franklin D. Roose­ velt union, the city chief o f police end county sheriff forbid a public meeting and met the Italian organizer at the Fairfield-Franklin county line when the latter was ordered to return to Co­ lumbus. To think that these Demo­ cratic officials would challenge the right of a Lewis-Roosevelt labor ider certainly is nothing short of treason. If some of our larger cities followed the example of .Lancaster and. Fairfield county officials and gave the New Deal labor anarchists to understand that orderly government comes first, irrespective of what Lewis and, Roosevelt want, we might have a semblence of decent government, something a self-respecting Democrat cannot point to under this administra­ tion; • • i.uf u n r o r . r .,.v i jl-rushp-- are u p -" ’ : , .. ; , ■ •. ovase. Round cakes oi soap have been used fo r years but after June first in Ohio neither soap and'brush can be used, according to Ohio Democratic New Deal orders. Won’t Ohio bar­ bers squirm wlien they dig down to purchase the new contrivance and won’t the barber supply people smile as they jiick up the change? Some of these days the Roosevelt New Deal­ ers will have salvation for sale under a union label so that all you will have to do is to make your purchase just before you shuffle off on the trip where St. Peter stands at the gate. x 5 Co. Public HealthFlection We have what is k n ow as corrupt practice acts, both national and in cer­ tain states, that are supposed to guar- intee honest and fair elections, -dimmate bribery and a lot of other political practices. Such Senators as riorah, LaFollette, Robinson, and others in the past have challenged the An attorney in a neighboring city as the owner of a bit of stock in a building supply company. We have had intimate acquaintance with him for several years. Four years ago he was proud as a peacock over the elec­ tion of a supposedly Democratic presi­ dent, Today he is ashamed to admit -lie fact for lie openly repuliates the the administration on most every issue and claims the political party he once boasted is made up of nothing but office seekers that car.e little what the issues are or what the future lias in store for the party. In speaking of he Roosevelt fishing trip he laugli- ngly boasts that Biblical history can be repeated anytime for one F. D. would have no trouble walking on the. water. ' He does admit that what is needed most is “ air conditioning” for all the New Deal. When'F. D. took a poke at high cost o f ! building . ma­ terials, this Democratic attorney dis­ covered the new born king was attack­ ing his bread and butter..

McPherson, Xenia, was named vico president and Mrs, Alice McCarty, Osborn, secretary. The re­ tiring president is Dr, Gordon E Savage, Xenia, county health com- :h: sinner, 't he league has adopted a constitu­ tion which, when ratified by the Ohio Public Health association, affiliates the runty association with the state and . tuionul lualfh leagues. -ight of several duly elected, senators should building supply people not have to sit in that body due to violation o f ^ 00^ Profits also? But where, is the -ome corrupt practice act. Today the average citizen to get his money to hire the brick mason or •purchase building material? Grover Cleveland, Democrat, once had the theory . that following a panic all goods should be as cheap as possible so that everyone could have some of. everything made. That was his idea of the foundation for . future prosperity. Compare that with the Roosevelt plan of take from the “ haves for the havenots.” greatest violator of any or all of the corrupt'practice acts is the govern­ ment itself through Roosevelt and Farley, if reports are true, that senators are being -threatened that "hey will be deprived of their political uatronage if they do not support the Roosevelt order to. -pack the Supreme Court. I t .is known .through a state­ ment of Roosevelt’s son, James, that i political appointment -goes to Iowa because the delegation from, that state is supple minded enough to trade its vote' for- an appointment Had some Republican president ever 1attempted lie. same method of forcing a vote .to nark the Supreme Coui*t, even' Frank­ lin D., Robinson and others would .have sent their voices in protest to High heaven. Sen. Vic Donahey stands four square against the packing plan and the whole world not only knows it but approves of his independence in thought and intended' act. 'But what of Sen- Bulkley, is he to be branded a Democratic man or a Roosevelt mouse? Is he on the trading block for patronage or even a' seat on the high court to carry out orders from New Deal headquarters? Dreading a task ia harder than doing it.

HOERNER, Mgr. 7*j !?, Main Street Xenia, Ohio A New Deal revenue,collector was in Xenia, Monday^ collecting the social security tax from the barbers in that, city. Most barbers work for the owner of the shop on a commission basis, sixty.-forty* the former for the ^arber. A suit in the Supreme Court in New York state on the question of com­ mission has decided that those work­ ing on a commission basis do not have to pay the tax, being independent workers for themselves. As most barbers are members of a union and the unions, backed the social security tax one would think it strange that objection to payment would be made now. The barbers are all kicking, the .New Deal, the government and everybody, but the collector, the Roosevelt-labor union appointee, says “ fork-over.” It So happens that Xenia has. a prominent barber that has al: ways been a prominent Democrat We; get the story that this Democrat made | a speech before the collector, a red- hot anti-New Deal speech on collect­ ing a tax from a barber. He also served notice that no more taxes' would be paid in the future. It is re-j grctnble that more Democrats are not in a position where Mr. Rooseve1 's tax collector can stick his hand in their pockets so that they too would have just grounds for making a speech. Sit-down strikers took charge of *200,000 worth of narcotic drugs in a Detroit wholesale drug company. There is a federal law against having . urh drugs in possession unless au- ’ bored by the ' Internal Revenue De- uirtment.
