" FRIDAY, MAY 26 ,1939 _____________ BANKS GIVE UNHERALDED SERVICE Itrs probably only human to do a good deal of kicking at our commercial insitutions, particularly those which involve “big money." But this kicking shouldn't be allowed to obscure our vieiw of the services they render us., * Banks, fo r instance, probably come in for about as much uninformed abuse as any business;. The banks—which are simply the repositories of money be longing to millions of people, most of them of very moderate means-—provided the financial blood tha t built this country. And they are still providing the financial blood that is further developing this country today. . , No banker wants to refuse an application for a loan. He knows th a t loans make the mare go so fa r as banking is con­ cerned, and tha t the more sound loans he can make, the faster his community and his bank will grow. .Bankers refuse some loans because they have to*—because.their first thought must always be for the safety of the money entrusted to their In every community in this country the banks are helping today, as in the past,, in financing homes, factories and mer­ chants. Banking's service to America isn’t often heralded—-but i t is second to none. IT IS HAPPENING HERE? America is picking up the tools of dictators! . That is the conclusion reached by Dorothy Thompson in a T6C6nt article. While our principal officials are conducting an energetic offensive against the foreign dictators, says Miss Thompson, “this country follows a domestic program which tends toward dictatorship and' adopts many of the measures which are most susceptible of criticism under the dictatorships, such as a rapid- ly pyramiding increase in the proportion of the national income controlled by the state, programmatic deficit financing, the strangulation of private enterprise and initiative by taxation policy and the setting up by the WPA of a separate work eco­ nomy demoralizing working standards of the rest of the eco­ nomy." Regimentation, whatever name it may be known by, is an insidious thing. It grows in the dark. In constantly lusts for more power. And, if its way goes long unchecked, it spells the absolute doom of those basic freedom, liberties, rights and pre rogatives of the people, which constitute the very fibre of a true democracy. More and more does business come under the control of government. In certain instances, of which the electric utilities are the most conspicuous example, government has actually taken over industry, and operated it under a policy which can honestly be called nothing save state socialism. The power to tax has been used as the power to destroy. And business at large exists in constant fear of some paralyzing political move or policy tha t may further blight the outlook, If this doesn’t tend toward dictatorship, the lessons of his­ tory are all wrong. In the name of democracy, we are regi­ menting our institutions. In the name of democracy, we are •rapidly pushing forwards collectivist doctrines. Those who watch with amazement, events beyond the seas, would do well to take a thoughtful look about in this country—-and then wonder if it isn’t happening here. “I CAN GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU” One of the best mottos tha t carries a vital message to every­ one and one fitting for any graduating class is the following Which was from a neat card issued by the Ford Motor Co., during the dark days of New Deal strikes in Michigan under Gov. Murphy. “I can get along without you, can you get along without me?” How true that is today and true it will be tomorrow to the young folks looking for a start in life. If you are willing to start a t the bottom and work to the. top you will find a bene­ factor as implied in the question quoted above. Unless you do you will have the road to yourself with no future in sight. Daniel C. Roper was asked to resign ad’Secretary of Com­ merce to make a place for Communist Harry Hopkins. Daniel is repaid by appointment as Minister to Canada, after all a softer birth. ' ■. . . Now they are trying to tell ug that somebody is guilty of starting a “whispering campaign" against FDR and the Mrs, That is the gist of a press report as to what is going on behind the curtain in the Dies com­ mittee investigation It seems the campaign was intended for the South. It was our experience when last in the South that everybody was talking out loud about the New Deal. We admit we. heard some unprintable remarks from old time southerners but we never heard any whispering. One publisher of the Southern Democratic faith had just returned from New York City. What he had to say would not have looked well in print but he did not hestitate to speak out his sentiment. You have probably noticed' the New Deal is going to Reduce- the interest rate on ,IIOLC bonds, which of course will lower the income for building and loan associations that are londed with the new fangled bonds bearing two and three-fourth per cent. The bonds have been called for exchange this coming August but will only bear one and one-hnlf per cent. Moral— No wonder a few well known :!armera from Beavercreek, Xenia, Miami and Cedarville Twps. put their heads together, if the grapevine is correct, to determine whether to aslc for a grand jury investigation, file charges with the liquor department or lay the whole situation before Gov. Bricker. The meeting was somewhat secret but even wives will talk and the news reached the Herald just in time for the issue. Some of the subjects discussed were: -county gambling places; liquor law violations; slot machines; and official winking at open violation of various laws. A well known dance institution, licensed bj •the Probate Judge, came in for sonu hot comment. It looks like summer ahead, .

JEFERSONVILE UNDERNEW LAW Consider the widow that must de pend on her interest from her HOLC bonds. She would have to have $10, 000 in such bonds to realize $150 a year to pay $12.50 house rent. She would have to have $10,000 more to have income enough to pay for her heat, light and water; it would take another $10,000. to get revenue enough to pay for groceries; and another $10 000 to provide medical care, clothing and a .contribution to her church That’s one way the-New Deal cuts a way for the wolf to the widow's door But the widow is not the only person that suffers from the FDR interest schedule to “help the little fellow.” Think how much a college, seminary, church, hospital or library must have in .IIOLC one and one-half per cent bonds to even pay the janitor. If he received $1,800 a year the institution must have $120,000 in HOLC bonds to pay the salary. _ ’ The press tells us that congress set $3,000 as the cost of entertaining the King and Queen of England at the .White House. Reports say the cost has now reached $150,000 and neither if the guests have arrived yet. How­ ever all the Roosevelts have rolled in for the event. A few select senators and congressmen with supreme court judges and cabinet members will get in line at the British embassy for the poW-wow there. Not all the Roose­ velts were on the British list hut the heavens'began to roar and the fires of the hot place were at steam heat until the Roosevelt contingent was added “in full” to the guest, list. And America is tied' to England by treaty to. provide men, money arid guns for the next war aguinst Germany. Eng­ land has plenty of money for war ma­ terial but not a Cent on the last World War debt. King Franklin has never even asked King George to kick in with a few millions. The Cleveland Plain Dealer came near burning up in editorial comment on Roosev t’s speech to the Retail Merchants last Monday. In view of ‘he fact that the Plain Dealer has been feverishly New Deal and 100 per cent Roosevelt, makes it hard to believe that even and editorial writer would dare write his view on the Roosevelt peech and take issue with one who 'knows it all.” When Roosevelt said he had no appeasement, no olive branch, no relief from heavy taxation, there was not enough Democratic blood in the voins of the Cleveland Democratic organ to have one word in agreement with the speaker, The Plain Dealer must have inward pains over the nation’s debt; it must be suf­ fering from the New Deal Social Security taxes that rob the cash box each three months to pay for the Rus­ sian brand of government at home, The Plain Dealer points .out that Roosevelt juggles definitions to make it appear that the real red radicals in the picture are those who believe in government solvency. The Plain Dealer is only sitting bn the blister and tries to forget its pain but even then that act is more painful as we read the editorial comment, “More of the Same.” Establishment of a bank in Jeffer­ sonville within 90 days appeared prob­ able Tuesday as the legal barr ier pre­ venting the moving of the Milledge villo Bank to Jeffersonville was over­ come with the signing of the Nelson- Wiliams bill to amend the general code of Ohio “by permitting banks here- location,” Gov. John W, Bricker signed the bill Monday, it was reported. The bill was drafted by Senator O. S. Nelson of M-illedgeville, who presented the bill to the upper branch of the legislature, and W. W; Williams of Jeffersonville, who offered it to the house. Details for the change in location were worked out several months ago. The next step will be the appointment of a committee to select a suitable lo­ cation here.. Jeffersonville has been without a bank for the past 10 years. The Milledgeville Bank is the oldest bank in Fayette County, having been established- in 1903, Its officers are Charles Fichtliorn, president; Forrest P. Smith, vice president; O. S. Nelson cashier, and Miss Fern Fichthorn, as­ sistant cashier. The bank is capitalized for $25,000, Directors are expected to have the de­ tails of the new. location worked out by the time the amendment to the general code becomes effective, within the 90 day period.

While little Ernest Houck was giving our local officials a Saturday night workout much to the merriment of a crowd that lost several hours sleep a t the advent of the Sab­ bath hour, one of the beer emporiums in Y. S. was the scene of activity whereby a certain county Democratic employee met headon with a haymaker at the hands of a carnival stranger. When everything was said and done the big question was what led the county dog catcher to that resort at the early morning hour? When the carnival gentleman thought he had been the victim of a trick there was a lot of action, and the dog c&t-chcr either ns the “ tavern bouncer” or in the act of friendship for the manage* ment, took tho Joe Louis haymaker on t,he jaw nnd landed in n heap on the floor, A s k Us A b o u t This New 2-Row Shifting-Gang Cultivator for Farmall 20 and Farmall 30 Tractors T HIS new McCormick* Deering No. 221-G Culti­ vator was developed to meet the demand for a lighter 2-row cultivator, for the Farmall 20 and Farmall 30.
