Heaven help the consumer if the present legislative trend continiiflei , A number of states have passed lews which punitively tax economical, mass-merchandising systems—thus boosting prices. Forty-three states have passed so-called Fair Trade Acts /which make price-fixing by manufacturers legal—thus boost­ ing prices. Twenty-four states have enacted so-called Anti-Discrimina­ tion Laws, which outlaw various low-cost selling methods—-thus boosting prices. In th is legislative orgy, everyone has been given considera­ tion, apparently—except the consumer. The inefficient and lazy .merchant is protected-—and the consumer pays the bill, Unnecessary middlemen are protected—and the consumer pays the bill. The progressive and efficient retailer is curbed—and the consumer pays the bill. , How long the consumer will remain supine under this kind of treatment remains to be seen. If he doesn’t make an effort to help himself soon, he will have to rely on divine providence for aid. INDIANA NEW DEAL HILLBILLY GOES NATIVE The New Deal faced caustic criticism Tuesday night over the air when an “Indiana Hillbilly Congressman,” and other states including Ohio have them, burned brimstone in the Halls of Congress in ah endeavor to purify as well as justify New Deal acts tha t have resulted in the present Roosevelt panic, called a repression. ' As the congressman directed his tirade against the money changers in the temple we recalled tha t a certain occupant of the White House had taken over the management of all our economic problems and had.congress transfer all its authority to him. The speaker was hitting the nail on the head time after time but he failed to note tha t all authority was placet in the hands of FDR. If things have not gone well he should have directed his remarks to the White House and not Con­ gress. The congressman blasted the bankers and the Stock Ex­ change; he demanded th a t congress provide more credit for everyone and an increase in paper money—otherwise inflation. He was angry because the country had to pay millions in in­ terest on bonds for relief, public work and other government spending. But not once did he admit th a t the Stock Ex­ change operates under the SEC commission appointed by Roosevelt. He scored the Federal Reserve but never mentionec. th a t every member on tha t board is a Roosevelt appointee. He opposed the idea of high, priced gold'but overlooked the fact th a t congress placed the power in Roosevelt’s hands to fix the price of gold and silver and tha t he was now paying $34 an ounce for Russian-gold tha t cost only $4 an ounce to mine and refine in th a t Country. If we should have more paper money congress should take the power from FDR and by law regulate our monetary system. He also failed to note that only Roose­ velt holds the keys to the big underground vaults in Kentucky .where billions of gold owned by the government is stored anc. taken out of circulation. / The speaker made some, predictions that unless congress ekerted some rights the people of this country would hold this -administration responsible for the repression, which he pre­ dicted, would continue to. grow into a depression more serious than what we had in 1932-33. This was about the only state­ ment he made tha t we could endorse. Otherwise the congress­ man was wasting his time critizing everything and everybody bu t the person responsible for present economic conditions. BIG AND LITTLE BUSINESS ON PARADE Last week there ,was a trek of big business to the White House to confer with His Majesty how we might pull the re­ pression off the New Deal. It was a sort of Barnum-fool-the- people stunt. This week small business (parades to the White Houpe, th a t is what is called small business, firms that do around a million dollar volumn business. We notice where two Dayton Democratic business men are in the list but there are no business men in the million dollar class in rural 'counties, so these men are on the “forgotten list.” The whole affair is only for the purpose of keeping the public mind off the first class Roosevelt panic that has crippled all kinds of business, large and small. * . Roosevelt’s attack on automobile credit, as well as other kinds of credit, as injurious to business stands out in strong con­ tras t to his charges against financial interests back in 1932-33 when bankers were criticised because they did not extend more ' liberal credit. Today Roosevelt says selling automobiles ant other machinery, household goods, etc., on long credit, is harm­ fu l to business. If his statement in 1932-33 is true how can his statement of last week be true? Credit from another angle is government loans. Today the government owns nearly a million homes, farms, hotels, fac­ tories, etc., because the owners who had government loans fail­ ed to pay interest on the principal. Yet, the great housing plan where the government will loan $5,000 to erect a new house if the applicant has $500, a good job a t steady salary, even eclipses automobile credit as damaging to future business. Big business as well as little business cannot fathom the floolish and silly proposals of the New Deal, Dancing the “Big Apple” should shock the modesty of Sally Rand in her famous fan dance. Study the past if you would* divine the future.—Confucius.

It looks now as if there would be but two con­ tenders fo r the nomination, Davey and Sawyer.' W ith George White, f o r m e r governor, D e m o c r a t , opposing Senator Buckley, Democratic yotere will find things interesting be­ tween now and August. Our Democratic friend'in the court house that gave us the "hot tip” th at Senator Vic Donahey was to resign to become a candidate for governor evidently owes us a good dinner, Heretofore this friend has generally been on the righ t side'o f the' Demo­ cratic predictions but he fell flat when the Senator issued a statement th at he would serve his time out ini Wash­ ington. Some’ Republicans'read the Donahey statement with much inter­ est. > ■’ ■ ’ A Xenia merchant showed us a pair o f ladies’ gloves this week th at had been purchased in a prominent Dayton store. The trade mark showed the gloves had the "Checko” imported brand. It was a good piece of^mer­ chandise that was permitted to come into this country under the Demo­ cratic free trade, rules. A New York -importer some months ago was per­ mitted to bring in several hundred thousand pairs of shoes made in the same country where the gloves, came from. Cheap labor abroad enabled one New York firm to retail 60,000 pairs of these shoes a t less than $2 Te same quality shoe made in this country with union labor brings 83.46 in case lots a t the factory. The peculiar thing about these imports is that congress gave the authority for all imports to Roosevelt who alone opens the gates to foreign goods, Shoe manufacturers recently protested for­ eign made shoes coming in and the ap­ peals went to congress th at would have to repeal the present law. The petitions should have been sent to the White Rouse. A neat profit went to the Democratic campaign fund by lift­ ing the lid for foreign made shoes to compete with home labor. A salesman from Cincinnati relates an interesting story of what happen ed in his residential community when a chain grocery store closed a grocery. Within ten days after the chain store was closed three individuals opened grocery stores in as many different places in the same square. In other words three stores would divided the business one store was supposed’ to have. The facts were the chain com­ pany closed the BtoTe because the volumn of business did not justify continuance of the grocery with in­ creased taxes on companies, social security taxes and higher labor costs due to union demands. Then how can three individuals make a living from the same volumn of business that one chain grocery store with lower pur­ chasing power enjoyed? The corn- company that closed the store is clos tag fifty stores in Cincinnati as fast as leases expire, some o f‘them in the downtown section. In other words fifty closed stores left fifty store man­ agers and a certain number of clerks out of jobs under New Deal dreams tferiafcftw o f Republican* R u t re- U fk a t kto#me refund and ws w ight h in t of soma others th a t were M*t in th a t list.

One more member of the Roosevelt family is soon to be annexed to a fa t pocketbook when the marriage of John Roosevelt takes place th is summer to Anne Clark, the daughter of a mil­ lionaire banker family in Boston. The daughter of an “economic royaliBt” is good enough for any Roosevelt but bad company for the common herd of citizens. Tags under the new live stock scale law th at places a nice piece .of g raft in the hands of the Fairbsnks-Morse Co., as state Scale inspectors, are being placed on live stock scales in this and adjoining counties. Several Xenia livestock dealers have refused to be held up under orders of E. H. Hanne- feld, state director of agriculture, and the scales aretogged against weighing livestock under a penalty as much as 8600. The owners refused to pay the 840 fee, bond and license money, a- mounting to'about 8100 each. The scales operated a t the local stock- yards were tagged against weighing Wednesday. Owners of scales that permit weighing of live stock fo r sale, on or off a farm, must hand over the g raft to the- scale company under a law passed by a Democratic legis­ lature and signed by Gov, Davey. In view of the g raft uncovered by the legislative investigation committee, we might ask how much Fairbanks- Morse & Co. had to pay to get a chance to hold up shippers and feeders of live stock? We placed the above information Wednesday with Lieut. Governor Yode who heads the Senate investigation of legal graft.

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is out with a statement that woul< cause one to wonder if he is loosing his ardor for the New Deal of whether he has found an excuse to unload on an administration that a t this moment is now plahning for a huge navy. A1 ither issues, even anti-lynching legis lation, arp secondary to mere power on water and in the air. Wallace says admirals and generals have smothered the peace campaign and are now busy getting ready for war. But what a- bout FDR? Tinie is no object to him. Each day Is ju st another day. Yes­ terday has no place in the calendar. Today its battleships and airplanes for war. Wallace makes the charge that -the AAA program stands to loose, 82(10,006,000 of its fund for bullets' and battleships. FDR lifted that a- mount in juggling frmds for his latest craze. The farm er evidently is no longer in the "forgotten man” class. One of the claims made while the New Deal was in the formation was that ail refunds on income taxes would be stopped, Andrew Mellon was Cited as the chief benefactor under that corrupt ru le .. Last March much bub- \ lid ty was given about FDR making out his own income tax without the aid of the revenue department.
