What may be our loss will of course be the South’ s gain for the competition between the North and South for industry is indeed tense. Twentydive years ago kraft paper was unknown yet today it has replaced various kinds of paper that were once known in the commercial world. Northern in­ dustry in aby branch calmot hope to compete with the south where living is cheaper, where they do not have strict regula­ tion of industry and above all where one dollar and one dollar and fifty cent labor prevail^. Again the south offers free taxa­ tion for a period o f years to Northern industry and this is some attraction when you consider what tribute Ohio takes from industry. The local company has had forty years of prosperous success and been the main cog-wheel in the industrial life of the community. Reverses were almost unknown until the birth of the NRA some five years ago when the New Deal attempted to operate all business for the benefit of larger concerns in each classification. Since that time the company has faced an uphill fight against all kinds of competition, increased taxation and re­ verses beyond its control. Backed by the New Deal larger com­ petitors unde,r various supposed governmental regulations had this company with other concerns with their backs to the wall. The time had come when an organization could tell you just how many dayryou could and could not operate your plant each week, regardless^ o f rush business or np business. The next burdensome obstacle was the N gav Deal profit tax to be follow­ ed by social security taxes, both of which were the burden of complaint at the “ rough horise” conference of smajl. business •men in Washington last week.. Invested capital uritiT recent years had some rights and always some protection but under the brain-truster-code it has no rights arid capital is gradually taking its cut and retiring rather than be' the target of a mul­ titude of demagogues that never had business lerienee and never had to earn a days pay by the sweat of the brow. - What has happened here has happened elsewhere and much larger plants are now consigned to the scrap heap than #the local mill. •There are a score of othfer smaller mills in the central states that are eithei; for sale today or have been taken over by larger concerns that the so-called “ inch-tonage” could be centralized, in 'a more modern plant with greater capacity and in a section of the country where labor costs are little or nothing. Eastern states have lost textile mills by the score, shoe concerns by the hundred and manufacturers-^ wearing apparel look with favor on the south. It’s a -battle of the South against the North with New Deal backing and government lending to southern cities to capture northern industry with such ventures of cheap power from TV.A and similar’ projects. The New Deal has robbed the community of its greatest asset ‘ and there is little need of harsh words or tears. The verdict is written.

WALLACE B U R Y fetteringVIRGINIA BRUCE DENNIS O ’ KEEFE JOSIPHCALLKIA<UEW 1 SSTONE GUY KIBBEi The Columbus Citizen last Friday contained an illustrated article on the improved Roosevelt WPA privy that is now in mas* production in Franklin county. The first order was fo r 71,- 000 o f the little houses with down draft ventilation," air-conditioned, screened windowa with a new idea 700- pound cement base that will fool the Hollowe’en prankster who has been in the habit o f overturning such institu­ tions. The order for ^Franklin county is 672. of these Roosevelt cabins to be completed by June 1st. The Citizen reporter inspected the advance models and concludes his interview: ‘’And these houses! Boy! They’re snug as a bug in a rug, 1'am tellin' you." There can be no rushing for the new Roose­ velt contribution to American archi­ tecture is only a. "one-seater.” The result o f the conference of ‘‘Little Business Men” down in. Wash­ ington last week was nothing more than expected and just what, the rep­ resentatives of various industries ex­ perienced during the days of the NRA until the “ sick chicken” case set busi- free on orders o f the Supreme Court. Tn NRA days Hugh Johnson, custodian of the Blue Eagle, invited business representatives to Washington for a ■onference. He opened the meeting by reading a statement that he knew Tust what they wanted and laid down bis orders. The business men return- ad : home cussing. Last .week the a‘Little Business Men” made it plain lhat they did not approve o f the New •Deal but the resolutions were all pre- >aral before hand endorsing the ad­ ministration plan but the group did not even get to hear them read for approval. Business men read the resolutions in the Washington papers endorsing Roosevelt. No vote was ever taken. The fracus between groups at the Washington Conference sent a scare ■rtto the White House that resulted in extra- guards being ordered out and FDR taking up his abode in the Li­ brary behind locked doors.! Word from Washington is that the New Leal will not only attempt to re­ flect Senator Bulklcy but also Charles Sawyer for governor in Ohio. This would shut out former Governor luorge White who is expected to op- >ose Bulkley on a platform o f anti- lew Deal. Of course no one ever ex­ acted the New Dealers to back Gov. T Martin. L. Davqy for a third term. Martin shows signs, o f ;campaigning on- a conservative platform .with the ‘ isms" and the FDR college profes­ sors out in the cold. It promises to bo a bid as well as an eventful year for Ohio Demopracy.

He says his state pays its share o f the school cost and takes care of the aged and helpless but that he warned Washington early that Ken­ tucky did not need relief money for her people were going 'back to work. He also issued a statement against: “ sit-down strikes” that no group take over another’s property without due process o f law, A ll o f this was bad Democratic politics for Washing­ ton and FDR now says Chandler must be defeated if he runs against-Sen. Barkley, who favors spending other people’s money. Gov, Martin L. Davey was a guest and a speaker during the evening and he too evidently heard spme interesting things as to how Democracy works down in our neigh­ bor state. ; j story-spinner, headlined the enter­ tainment program at the’ Greene County Fish and Game Association’s second annual “ fish fry,” which at-] tracted 325 sportsmen, their families and friends to the Armory Thurs­ day night.

An Ohio publisher shed some tears during the recent newspaper conven­ tion in Columbus and wanted to know just why it was that we could not have Democrats like we had twenty- five yeavs ago. He had just learned .i few days before that the main in­ dustry in his town that employed 93 men was to be sold because the own­ ers, (Democrat brothers), were unable to make any money Under the New Deal • taxes. The machinery in this plant would bo junked by a compet­ ing company that had placed a bid on the factory. The company was not large but the brothers had operated it with some success for a period of 43 years. During the past few years the dividends usually were four or five per cent, Under the NeW Deal corporation tax Haws and the social security taxes the four per cent div­ idends faded into a loss for the own­ ers who have now decided to sell out. Of course the 93 employees will be out of jobs but they can get on relief. A fair example of taxing a company out of business and throwing labor to. the winds. S . SWANGO Cofe. Weticert and Gordon, Auctioneers H, A , Turnbull, Clerk An industry in a neighboring town, London, had a taste of the CIO this week, when representative o f the Roosevelt-1.ewis gang attempted to organize the employees. Not meet­ ing with much success one o f the gangsters attacked a woman employee ‘as she*endeavored to enter the plant. The gangster wan arrested in mayor's court but some high-hat attorney up in Cleveland called His Honor and made all kinds o f threats against the official if he did not release the gang­ ster. The mayor was accomodating to say the least but when he apolo­ gized for tfito arrest, that was more than Londoners could stand. With the gangster free union business again picked up but not so far aWay stood the force ready to call out the Ohio militia. A court injunction in Spring- field cooled the Roosevelt-Lcwis gangsters In that boycott against one o f the largest department stores in that ?ity» It sounded good last Friday evening to hear Gov. “ Happy” Chandler of Kentucky relate ids experiences and accomplishments before Ohio news­ papermen at the annual banquet in Columbus. This Democrat Governor, a member o f the American Legion, with ten years public service at 39 years, as a state senator, lieutenant governor and governor, made us think o f Governors Ohio had back in the days o f J, M. Cox, John Pattlson, Thp state senate investigation that has done a splendid job o f uncover­ ing “ legal graft” in squandering the taxpayers’ money should have the backing of every property owner, It seems that every so often it is neces­ sary 't o have a house-cleaning. Twenty-five years ago a grand jury returned indictments against a few members of the Ohio legislature and ‘.t was under Democratic administraT tions that several members were con­ victed and sent to prison. In those years the party wanted the scandal cleaned up while Democracy this year tries to smother the charges against the grafters. Iwo P erfect.
