Davey has tried tq smother the investigation, Graft in coal purchases warrant grand Jury indictment. Witnesses testified they were forced to “ donate” before they could do business with state departments. Road contractors were given contracts a t their own bid and the state purchased ‘‘hot-mix” a t prices twice what Cleveland and Columbus pay. Graft figures in the purchase of liquor and goods of a quality lower than Kentucky bootleg are offered at state liquor stores. The state purchases only liquor where known Democrats represent distilling companies. No pur­ chases are made direct from distillers without the middle profit —the legal graft. The committee will noon get to the highway employees being compelled to donate a part of their wages to the Democratic bosses each week. The Ohio Democratic banker that gold 600 acres of land recently and invested the entire amount in Cana­ dian bonds must be given credit for being smart and ju st a bit ahead of all the hounds that as land owners and tenants must now be vasseU under the Modem Stalin, better known as Secretary Wallace. The banker had no desire to be regimented even by one of his own party and especially by one that could not make a success of his own business. The ♦‘Wallace Farm­ er” was sold’ a t ^heriff’s sale months ago. < ■ FARM BILL CONFUSION ON CONFUSION Both Ohio senators are reported as expressing themselves as bewildered a t what the New Deal crazy quilt farm bill means, let alone its intentions. Where the language of the bill is not confusing it is contradictory if the sentiment of leading senators and congressmen is correct. To have heard Sec. Henry Wallace in his radio explanation is even more confusing for he himself made no claims and predicted th a t not enough money, 500 million dollars, would not finance the plan. He suggested processing taxes such as the farmer had under, the first AAA when he paid taxes to repurchase the things produed on the farm. Wallace still has hopes of controlling the weather with the New Deal and he dreams of the day when high prices for farm products will result in low prices to the city consumer. Any fair minded man, farmer or urban resident tha t heard Wallace on the air when he connected the tariff situation with the distress of the farm situation, must admit tha t if the tariff has done so much injury to the farmer, and with a New Deal Fifth Avenue playboy in the White House and a New Deal congress by a large majority, why then does not FDR. and Wallace ask their controlled congress to repeal, correct or change the tariff laws he'complains about? The facts are the only change congress has made in the terrible tariff laws was placing control of all imports in Roosevelt’s hands. He alone orders such imports in quantity and quality as he pleases and importers must contribute to the Democratic campaign fund.1 If as Wallace says our farm problems based on present tariffs, why; all this New Deal fumbling around about the farm situa­ tion if it is not the ground work to find places for fourteen thousand more political appointees to “farm the farmer” at fancy salaries. The number necessary to enforce the new farm bill is placed at fourteen thousand by members of congress ip debating the bill,and the New Deal has not denied /the state- ment. ■■ When we have a score o r more of New Deal unsuccessful or probably 100 per cent failure farmers riding the county tell­ ing the rest of the farmers just what they can plant, how much , and even tell them when they can and cannot sell certain grain crops, then will the New Deal be in full Swing in Greene county. •If either Roosevelt or Wallace, or both of therfi, were open to appeal, reason or would accept a common sense suggestion, all we need is to have the world market restored for our surplus cotton, wheat, corn, rice and tobacco. It cannot be denied but tha t the New Deal [shut out by secret trade treaties during the first AAA farm act all markets for our surplus crops. Today the New Deal is importing wheat, corn, pork and beef to be sold in competition with what the American farmer produces. The same brand of treaties made secretly now link us with England and France to make us the policeman and furnish the man power for the next World War. To cover up blunders of the AAA and the New. Deal Communistic administration Wallace “hopes” the American farmer will face the curtain and not peep under it or look behind it. THE PUZZLING FARM BILL There may be some sense’in the federal farm bill which has passed the House and now is before the Senate. But if there Is it will take the mythical Philadelphia lawyer and a lot of others between Boston and San Francisco to discover the meaning hid away in 62,000 words and 121 pages. The ordinary farmer certainly-cannot ihake it out, and the federal lawmakers themselves say they can’t understand it. The farmer is required to refrain from selling his products above the limit fixed, but just what he may do with his corn, wheat and other feed above the quota is not clear. For it seems apparent tha t he cannot feed it to live stock or poultry. If he has too much corn this year and puts the .new corn in the crib with whatever is left over from last year, and if he does the same thing with other grains, how is he to separate the old from the new, the quota from the excess? As the bill stands it means that an army of government questioners and surveyors will visit every farm. They will want to know, and the farmer must answer, how he came by every grain of corn or wheat, what he did with it all, how much he sold or fed and a variety of other data, J t will be possible, o f course, tha t a farmer starts his steers on grain and hay produced before the quota is established and finishes feeding them on quota grain and hay. How can it be determined how much of the fa t has accumulated from non­ quota food and how much quota rations? Will the American farmer who does not willingly Comply with the last details of the bill be known soon as a kulak, as such a man is known in Russia? And if this thing goes on will not the government finally take practical, if not actual, pos­ session of his farm as has been done in Stalin-land? -—Ohio State Journal. Back in the frantic days of FDR when it was a crime to own a ten dollar gold piece or even a gold certi­ ficate, there was but one honest man in the one hundred and twenty-five million people, and that man wasthe Squire of Hyde Park, who burjea the gold in Kentucky and he has since, held the keys to the vault. Now that the Roosevelt panic is here with more than eleven million' persona un­ employed,, the Squire jthinks it might ‘be healthy to liberate a small amount of the precious metal. ’The Roosevelt panic can he traced, from one source :o the fact the nation has gone broke purchasing gold from, foreign nations at the FDR fabulous and factitious price of $36 an ounce. Russia has been selling this nation her gold at the fancy price when it only cost $4 an ounce to mine and market it. FDR is not to spend this $100,000,000 in gold, just going to spend the “value of it,” what ever that is and what over that means. The answer is in­ flation. With a burst bubble in his hands the magic trickster is trying to pull a rabbit out of his hat. With administration backing Con­ gress is asked to pass the O’Mahoney bill to force licensing of a ll business. Now that the American farmer is to get a “Number” in the Wallace plan, with another number for a license to hunt on his own land, it is just as well that business be licensed also and be on "par. with the farmer. Then we want the “hours and wage” law to apply to farmer, manufacturer and merchant, with the wash-woman and domestic included. country, When Romvelt and Lewis cooked up the CIO tp tweak into the AFL, Howard was made secretary of CIO. He has since tried to throw the printers into CIO but failed so far. Now approaches the time for\re-eTec- tlon and Vide President Burk looms as Howard’s successor. The ballot is being taken mnong unions and so far Howard has not even made a good showing. Howard J ibs done much In the past for his union but when he became imbued with the Russian Com­ munistic theory advocated by Roose­ velt and Lewis hp lost his following.

Taft to Address Students Students of Cedarville College have been invited to participate In the eighth annual Lille’s Meaning Confer­ ence a t Antioch College on Saturday and Sunday, February 19 and 20. Charles P. Taft, Cincinnati lawyer and son of the late President William Howard Taft, Jesse H, Holmes, Pennsylvania socialist and pacifist and emeritus professor of philosophy a t Swarthmore College, and William G. Simpson, former minister and author of “Toward the Rising Sun,” will be the speakers. This unusual institution, the pur­ pose of which is to foster serious consideration of the aims and values of life,, is under the leadership of Bishop- Paul Jones, religious leader on the Antioch campus, The Conference was inaugurated eight years ago by Bishop Jones and ex-President Arthur E. Morgan, now chairman of the TVA. The divergence of views among the SMALL BUSINESS ASSERTS ITSELF President Roosevelt staged a show in the Department of Commerce Auditorium this week which got out of hand and , wrote its own ticket. It was based on an untenable assumption: That big busi­ ness, with whose leaders he has been in conference, had .one point of view, and so-called small business men had another, and must be called in conference. They think alike, as is of common knowledge, as the recent Forbes Magazine poll over thirteen States shows, and as their own resolutions attest, What, above all, they think may be Very simply stated: The President made a tragic blunder, which has come out in the wash of the recession, when he forced through Congress the act which compelled them to pay out their surplus earnings in dividends or have them confiscated through taxes—in other .words, made them face a rainy day without umbrellas. When he demands that they keep up wages and employment by dip­ ping into their surpluses, he is whistling to the wind, for he has been taking their surpluses away. Now his spokesmen talk about helping small business out with Government loans. This is mere face-saving. The way to help all business, big and small, is for Mr. Roosevelt to admit error and urge Congress to repeal the surplus tax act. But rather than admit tha t he ever was wrong, he stages so-called “conferences." The latest one got away from him. —Cincinnati Times Star. When a handful of farmers on public pay roll some where in the New Deal met in Columbus weeks ago and voted to give 100 per cent approval, as representing every farmer in 'Greene county, oh the regimentation farm bill passed by Congress and sign ed by Roosevelt, Wednesday, Greene countians were representated as in full accord. But when we look over the vote in the Senate both Seri. Vic Donahey and Sen. Buikley voted against it. Did these two Senators represent the farmers in Greene county, or did the handful of “farm the farmers” that met in Columbus? Every tub will soon be on its own bottom and every-farmer frill soon be told when, what and how much he can plant this year under the Russian dynasty in Washington. You will also be told at harvest time just when and how much wheat you can sell and the elevators will be told how much they can purchase that day. An in­ teresting summer nears. If industry is to be subjected to the New Deal Straight-Jacket by con­ gressional legislation we might as well have all the Communistic nostrums a t one time apd have the anxiety and misery over with. We are going into the Roosevelt panic deeper and deep­ er each day until the Democrat of two years ago now wonders just what it is all about and what one man with his lunatic following can do to his country and especially his party. When a well- known Ohio Democrat made it his business to journey to Washington following the attempt to get Sen. Donahey to announce for governor of Ohio, a Roosevelt scheme, to save his distressed party, some plain state­ ments were made, one was that the first thing that was needed was a cleaning out of the foreign blood in the administration cabinet and drop­ ping the thousands of Communists that had been parked in all depart­ ments of government. I. this was not done the Ohioan made it plain that even Charley Sawyer could not save the state. A Democratic manu­ facturer holds about the same views on the economic situation as does a Republican, Neither being on the government pay roll they are concern­ ed about the future of their invest­ ment. “That Man Hoover’s Here Again,” so says a Springficldcr as he stood in front of is empty store room in the center square of the city. Thinking the owner was taking a view of the front towards a contemplated im­ provement, our suggestion brought the above statement. Empty store rooms in the heart of the city i, jw hardly reflect New Deal prosperity cs compared with three months ago when everything Was rented.

We are naturally interested in the contest in the printer's union to un­ seat Charles Howard as head of that organization.
