In Ohio we have a state monopoly system, supplemented by a license system for sale of liquors, wines, and beer by the glass. The main principles o f that system were formed in deference to the sentiment of the larger cities. Had rural opinion dom­ inated Ohio would not have, any licensed restaurants—or sa­ loons as they sometimes prove to be in fact. The system is state-wide, although it is.flexible enough to permit local option at various levels. The bulk of liquor rev­ enues go into the general fund and some are allocated to old- age pensions. Licenses fees, on the other hand, are properly recognized as belonging primarily to the local area where they are paid. If we exclude dry counties from benefits of general liquor revenues, w e at once use these funds as a weapon to compel counties and townships to retain the widest possible sale of liquor. This is not consonant with the spirit of the ’ Liquor Control Act. The object of the state monopoly is to provide liquor at reasonable prices to those who want It, not to sell the largest possible volume of liquor to the people. It is unwise, therefore, to offer a premium to counties in order to get them to reject local dry laws,-—Cincinnati Enquirer, Furniture Repairing AND Re-Upholstering I am again located in Xenia after an absence o f a few years and am prepared to repair and reupholster your furn i­ ture.

Ypu ean Sunday evening, 7:30 p. - ip. The The result o f the Supreme Court in liberating F, E. Snypp some months ago on charges o f violating, the Ohio Blue Sky law, only goes to show what a state department can do for any one | o f the counties in this state. The sale o f certificates was questioned as being legal, There was still more uncer­ tainty as to whether there was any land titles in New York City in ques­ tion as to ownership. The state de­ partment investigated and gathered the evidence and placed it before the Prosecutor for grand jury action. In­ dictments were found against Snypp and Catterlain McLain, the latter serving a short term in prison^ Now it appears the state department had no ground for its action, which left the Prosecutor on the end o f a limb, and the taxpayers had to pay the ex­ pense o f several costly trials. Had not the Prosecutor acted the Attorney General could have followed the same course as the Prosecutor and still■ Greene county would be forced to meet the expense. Our intention is to point out that the state should bear the expense o f such trials and not the counties. Ready.” UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Ralph A. Jamieson, Minister Sabbath School^ 10 a, m.

It now looks like - the legislature might drop the 'coupon system in col lecting'sales tax in answer to con stant opposition to the present plan It is proposed to .adopt the token plan as used in other states. Whether |‘business or. patrons will be better pleased is a question: The great trouble with the coupon system is the red tape'business people are forced to adopt. This .is the fault o f the political created and political: sup­ ported. tax commission. The cost of collecting the sales tax in Ohio is much greater than any other state in the union. Ib is no^so much the op­ position to the sales tax plan as the ;method used to collect the revenue. The commission goes- on the theory that all . business men are confirmed crooks and that the commission must use prison methods in dealing with ] Ohio business men. i Those receiving old age pensions now are experiencing what it- cost for the little boost just before the election. AH pensions now are re­ duced $ 2 / a month and the pension fund is several million in the hole and thousands o f , pensioners must go without Christman because the state has no money to pay even whqt was promised. Profits from the sale of liquor go into the pension fund but the Democrats purchased more than a million dollar's worth o f liquor to get a “ campaign cut” just before the election. The pensioner’s money is now in the form o f bottled booze ur- ed in 'various warehouses over „he ’ state, i . I — — - * Secretary Wallace in his speech before the American Farm Bureau Federation convention this week in Pasadena, Calif., covered a iofc o f ter­ ritory in his address, the first part mainly of a political nature, as what to believe and what not to'believe in the next campaign in 1940. , The Secretary for some reason failed to discuss the presidential junket build­ ing up free trade agreements with South American governments. Ho might have at least stated what the Argentine viewpoint was and the-re­ action the American free trade dele­ gation gathered, Argentine favors a 1 breader trade, agreement which means j more o f her grain, cattle and dressed meat being admitted to the U, S. The Secretary also failed to comment on the hint thrown out'by European nations that they had bought grain, meats and minerals from S. American nations when the U. S. doors were closed to their products under a pro­ tective tariff for our farmers and in­ dustries. Each trade pack made by Roosevelt and Hull, sailing under a guise o f a peace mission, provides for importation o f foreign products which will come into this country in competi­ tion with our farm products as well as manufacturers. Wallace laid stress on the fact that we did not hear much about farm, imports now since the election was over. Dressed meat, poultry, butter and eggs were admitted in largo quantities under the Wallace order for sale only in the big city markets to hold down the cost o f living, to city people, at least Until after election, So much pork and ’ frozen poultry as Well as butter were admitted in October the American market dropped, chickens falling to ten and twelve cents a pound. v,'alln?e m .................................. ............................___________________ __ ' ' ______________ , ® SANTA CLAUS SAYS”YOULLFINDGREATGIFTSIN * » « * * i ' ■ * net- .. 0 "• l l t e ’i WM •■-p.-nv J W e Jh Cs T Th II Luxu ( Cordi Silk L Crepe jamas with! n' ‘1 sstej |»!'£ Lc m TH The handled market, new cor the excr The snow am W ith pi Dorothy Fro: r since w e selection, past wh • know it i same w a ~CE 3 South M.i TOT SPECIALS $69 3-Piece Mod Bedroom Suite All pieces closely matched in wal­ nut veneers with paneling in burl walnut veneers, 4 real value.
