WHERE WILL FUTURE TAXES COME FROM? , A well known Ohio newspaperman spent several days last week in Washing!. .„ D. C.> and was a luncheon guest of two well-known southern senators much in th e public p rin t a t this time. No gathering even in Washington would be complete without a discussion of taxes and where government revenue will come, from in the near future. Both senators were of the opinion th a t within the next five years th e federal government will be compelled to provide for an occupational ta x fo r every citizen, male and female, with no exemptions in any class. The present income taxes would still continue w ith probably higher rates and drop to $1,000 or less w ith most of the present exemptions eliminated. While the federal government faces many new kinds of taxes to pay fo r th e “Roosevelt frolic/* Ohio must have more taxes. * The state schoof foundation fund is now more than $10,000,000 overdrawn and will be a t least fifteen million by January 1 ,1930; Two different courts have held th a t candy is a food and not taxable under th e sales tax law. If. sustained by th e Supreme Court the state looses $500,000 revenue from th a t source. Most of our new taxes now go fo r relief and still the clamor goes on fo r more ‘revenue. We had the promise th a t liquor would provide the revenue fo r old age pensions bu t npw the state must find new sources to get pension funds as much o f the liq u o r revenues goes to th e politicians who sell the liquor in the various counties,. The sta te is already ridden with liquor inspectors th a t e a t up the liquor p rofit th a t was originally intended fo r thp old .age pensions. SUPER HIGHWAYS CAMPAlGNISSUE Senator Robert J . Bulkley’s plan to erect a system of super highways across th e country is looked upon as fine'campaign publicity. I t has made first page everywhere and has also h it some sarcastic comment in the southern press, and before it be­ comes a law, which it never will he in our time, i t must have the Bupport of southern congressmen and senators. The southern press in many instances point out th a t th is is a yea r when sen­ ators must seek re-election, fo r th a t reason, most any bill makes publicity. Then to use relief money does not appeal to the south where re lief is not and probably will hot be a political factor. The suggestion of government finance by bonds to be paid by motorists paying toll falls flat in view of the fac t th a t many state* now use the automobile and the truck as the agency to collect gasoline taxes. In th e south everything political lives off th e gasoline tax and this comes home to people when the tax in several states is eight cents a gallon. Another argument against the Bulkley plan is the road toll which some now call a tax on the “low-browa” fo r th e benefit of the “high-brows/* Already, the south has shown its hand when Senator Me- Kellar, Tenn., Dem.. had the Bulkley bill transferred from the banking and currency committee to the committee on post roads. Senator McKellar also seeks a federal super-high­ way commission and this will block the Bulkley bill. Sentiment in both houses of Congress is against the toll idea and congress­ men will not back th e super highway plan when they can get federal money fo r districts by the pork-barrel route. Another argument against th e bill is th a t we still have hundreds of thou sands of miles of roads used by ordinary people th a t are not even graveled, le t alone dust-proof. What chance has the aver­ age citizen using a super highway to cross a dozen states when he now must deny hi* family some of the conveniences of life to buy gasoline to reach his nearest trading point or the county seat to pay h is taxes or purchase his liquor a t a government store?

One thing must -e certain the Roosevelt family has •onfidence enough in itself that a few million will not break the moral and ioeial backbone of thm family. For myone else to have a million-well 'anger larks there. Last year young ?ranklin R, entered the millionaire tn Font family in Delaware, the ’amity that controls banks, auto­ mobiles, dyes, colors, war material, -ailroadS, etc. Another member of he Roosevelt family is the wife of the manager of a Hearst newspaper a t i figure slightly under the president's salary,. Not so long ago the New deal said Mr. Hearst owed the gov-' -raiment several million in back in- ome taxes. A few weeks ago another mvestigation brought forth the news hat the government had over charged Mr. Hearst several million and he had i refund. Net result w as'the gov­ ernment collected a difference of some ’>600 dollars. Mr. Hearst was pleasedt Ve suppose Unde Sam had to be.

This week we checked die returns a t the Board of Elections it Springfield and find that Aleshtre, V received 24,21? and Marshall 15,; >20 votes in Clark county, ' The eity mte alone was as follows: Aleshire !8,465 Marshall 11,171, the former eading by 7,284, Breaking down the *ural vote in Clark county Aleshire .receiving 5,^54 and Marshall, 4,743, again the former won out in the ■ounty by 1,011. Judging from the returns it looks iiko Miss Margaret Baker, Clark county Republican leader evidently did not have a very close grip on the dtuation in 1936 for the Republican nominee, With Margaret having a hot contest in her own city and county vith Mrs. Jeanette V. Rockel for ffbman Committee in the . Seventh District, 'Margaret has cut for her- nclf quite a task to win her election and a t the same time change 7,284 votes from New Deal to Republican. To the causal observer one wonders just where Marshall expects to find Ins primary vote. A glance a t the Aleslure vote is all that is necessary to cause glee in Democratic ranks and do the drum beating for the Marshall nomination. HAVE OUR FRIENDS DESERTED US ON TAX QUESTIONS? Over * long period of years when ever tax matters eome tip or even an increase in salaries of school teachers we always had plenty of callers to protest “extravagance/* Congress ad» journs spending 2d billion dollars and has a deficit of 40 billion and some of those who begrudged a school teacher an increase seem to nod their head today in silent approval. .

JJeulah Bondi, Frances Mercer and Charles Coburn head the supporting cast marked for slaughter by the New Deal from Roosevelt down to the precinct health officer.. The Ohio Senator has a contest at the coming primary In the person of ‘Uncle” George White, who seeks to represent Ohio Democracy in the upper house. Reading between the ine» we fear Bulkley was throwing a scare into the followers of White about all these political rumors th a t start everywhere but in -New Deal circle*. The Senator says there will :e no politics with relief and WPA. This sounds good. We have state and federal civil service laws but we do not believe Bulkley can prove tha t the Democrats hive even made attempt to follow;the law and Ex-Gov, White "enowfe what this means and how shal­ low Bulkley'* radio speech proves to *e. The press dispatches on Sunday md Monday reported that action on he part o f State Administrator Wat- on was necessary to divorce politics in WPA in Clark county. Two Demo ratio factions in "that county have fought fo r the patronage in WPA, 3ven becoming *o intense that re igioUs issues were raised. Moreover Bulkley might by investigation find out that iheffMbto Democrata ate not Tver looking the fac t that the Sen­ ator's millionaire family has drawn -cads of money for high rents for government departments in Cleveland. The contest it among Democrats and Sen, Bulkley might turn bis nose to the ground to get the scent as to the report that all WPA and relief work­ ers must have their names on the Democratic poll books a t the August primary. Bulkley should investigate what is going on in hi* own p r t y and then deposit his fee to the radio com­ pany and give his findings to Ohio citisens. He has started something which if he does not complete, the friends of Ex-Gov. White will bring to light. It is Certain there are Demo­ crats that will call the Senator’s Mon­ day night scare speech. the Communistic board. Mr. Verity would do a j&al service to hia cities where he has plants and to the state and nation by announcing the closing of all his plants for a definite time to give the citizens plenty of time to de­ cide whether they wilt hack the com­ pany or Moscow’s representatives in the labor world with headquarters in Washington, D. C. ' Down in Kentucky Gov. Chandler, who is a candidate fo r U. 8. Senator, has to fight the New Deal in his own party. There the WPA and relief are the New Deal issues to defeat the Governor. WPA federal officials have been fork ing in the open against the Governor, if Brady W. Stewart, head of the Chandler Campaign Committee is correct in his report to Roosevelt. WPA and relief voters will be com polled to vote for Sen. Bradley, a 100, per cent rubber stamp for the New Deal, Sen. Bulkley ofiOhiolsays there is no polities in the New Deal PWA. Sen. Wheeler, Democrat, says there is, and th a t the Recovery bill should be earmarked but Roosevelt fights this as does Hopkins and of course Bulkley being a good rubber stamp for tho New Deal, makes no mention of what his colleguo Wheeler says. Will Ohio Democrats swallow the “canned speech” put out by Bulkley, Monday night? Who paysithe radio company for the time devoted to political speeches for the New Deal ?' The American Rolling Mill Co., with branches in Columbus, Zanesville and in Ashland, Ky., the main plant being a t Middletown, faces charges filed by NLRB, one of Roosevelt’s Comnsun istie beards that makes a finding be fere the evidence is presented, It is charged the company took part In municipal ototJens in one or mere towns, certainly a w ry serious charge, George M, Verity is one of the most public spirited men in the country and has always been active in good gov* ernments, especially where he has plants. He has given Middletown what few cities of the stse could not af» ford to buy in the way of civic letter* ®c»ts and this Is the curse the labor beard charge* acalnat the company. To deliver a fi**d verdict, the NLRB has selected th ttkebw g , Kyt» as tbe place for th# trial, Moscow, n p d d be more In keeping with tbe decision* of Times must be getting hard with the New Deal. We get the report that 150 WPA workers a t Fairfield .were laid off this week. Rubber money must be. rebounding. Down in Cincin­ nati one or the largest department stores has laid off 600 clerks and vari­ ous employees; one Dayton store has dropped 350 clerks, .several residents of this county; another Dayton store 180. In Springfield & department store has staggered the clerks each me loosing an entire week every third week. The Roosevelt depression con­ tinues to grow and he will fiddle on g government war vessel down in the deejv south while the nation triea to pull itself out of the hole where busi­ ness was plunged.. Speaking of government checks' brings to light what was uncovered In the Georgia.campaign fo r local op­ tion. Georgia was thought to be one of the driest states in tbe Union and a state with a very high percentage of church people. Two or three different state laws have been passed since the Roosevelt booze began to flood south­ ern states. The last law just about throws the entire state wide open. This year eleven counties have voted and ten , have gone wet/ the largest with the city of Atlanta expecting to lean that way. Nine of the countie* voted wet for the first time, old time dry majorities being reversed ihto wet majorities this year. For instance a 330Q dry vote last year with 770 wet was this year pat in the wet column by a vote of 3,400 to 720. With those on old age pensions, relief, farm­ ers, county age to and postmasters out in the field to save their monthly checks, “rum had a holiday" and the county goes Wet. We are anxiously awaiting the next local option elec­ tion in Greene county when all these forces arc lined up from Washington. That will he the day when old Greene takes an invoice as to whether the church, religion and man’s con­ science can outweigh the temptation of tliat little slip of paper with “United States Treasury” or “Ohio State Treasury” that come through tbe mail the day after the ward-heeler passe* the word “vote wet or no more cheeks.” Gov. Davey played a similar trick two years ago on the old age pensioners and it Worked. Will it work again, oven with prohibition a* tho issue? We predict it will. Whats’ your* predicitiou?
