A LOT OF WAYS TO COMBAT GAMBLING The gambling wave can be checked and in the end will be, however slow progress might be at this time. The newest form of gambling that is gathering extremely large amounts in small sums from hundreds of thousands of individuals each day, is ; eating the heart out of the retail business. Every dollar that] goes into gambling, just like every dollar of tax money that goes to Washington, is just that much left for retail trade. Business is beginning to make inventory of conditions as they exist at present. Retail trade is always slack at the end of a winter season but this year it appears a bit more so from the dollar and cent standpoint. Merchants have been com­ pelled to lay off clerks to hold down overhead expense. Busi­ ness no longer under the New Deal social, security laws can keep clerks or any kind of labor unless it is income productive. If there is a scarcity of store patrons, the,clerk hire must be reduced.. ~ We were reminded in a discussion some days ago with a Xenia business man as to the number o f clerks that have been • laid off the past two weeks, a condition no different than other cities. When asked what he believed to be the basic cause, he was frank enough to say that in his opinion the liquor busi­ ness and number racket was doing more to injure business in "the county than anything else. He stated that he had never be­ fore taken any part in the prohibition movement but he be-, lie.ved it would not be many years until business would openly oppose both gambling and the sale of all kinds of liquor. When public sentiment is strong enough both will go out. 'W e hays many ways to combat gambling today if they were . used. How many that gamble make a report of -winnings under the income tax law where all winnings are profit. Busi- , ness property is taxed on the basis of income and as gamb­ ling is all profit—the public can insist on higher valuation. Even if the home is used for public gambling or headquarters for gamblers getting information, the home then can be classed as business “property. If one who is an old age pensioner permits property to be used for gambling, as well as the sale of intoxicants, the pen­ sioner can be regarded as having an income and thus not entitled to an old age pension. Moreover any citizen can bring a suit to declare property used for gambling or headquarters for gamblers or sale of intoxicants as a nuisance and the place vacated and put in charge of a designated officer. We now have plenty of .laws covering such violations. It ; is up to the authorities to enforce the law and it is up to the Citizenship to see that the officers do their duty. It is not more laws but enforcement of what we have. seemea unusual that some o f those that en­ dorsed the Judge before the election would find it necessary to “ sit on the job” hour after hour that justice might prevail, How those who get themselves in such a position are to have legal •ounsel in this county, can best be ex- 'pjained by the experience of those found guilty last week. We hear A t torney Dan Aultman was approached but he declined. Attorney L- T. Mar­ shall was on the list for a few days, but he declined. Attorney Dawson Smith, who once presided over Xenia municipal court and made so much fuss and feathers over the-part boot­ leggers were playing in1the early days of prohibition, who prided him­ self of his “ soaking” violators, turn­ ed up as attorney for the beer ped­ dlers. Many have questioned them­ selves as to how the former Judge squared his conscience of today with that o f some years, ago. The ministers aresent at the trial asked themselves the same question. Our answer is this: “Judge. Smith is a devoted fol- ’ower of FDR, who gave the notion hack its intoxicants. With the aver­ age Democrat, (new school), FDR can get anyone salvation or beer, or both if desired. has happened under the Davey ad­ ministration, some one should have nerve enough to uncover the mess. Each day brings new things to fight even to state employees working it one department and being on the pay roll in another, drawing two salaries that in many instances total over $300 a month. Not only offlce'recorde have been burned, this on order of higher ups, but office furniture is gone. Typewriters and adding machines, cameras, even automobiles are missing. Much o f this equipment has been purchased within the past few months. One Davey appointee, who was transferred to another job a day or so before the year ended, took a costly desk and chair, owned by the state^ When the, discovery was made the state property was re­ turned* to the office where it belonged. It has also been reported that it has been common practice for certain Democratic politicians to drive to the state garages and have their auto­ mobile tanks filled with state gas. Charges are made that garage me­ chanics were compelled to service privately owned "automobiles for Dem­ ocratic officials in many counties: If you are a New Dealer and have not enjoyed some o f this “ legal graft,” you have only made such possible for those in power. • Police investigated and found the body- on the roof o f the main ball room. Death was due to a broken back and crushed chest. The act was committed while officers awaited out in the hall at her suggestion until she dressed. In the room were four empty whisky bottles and a fifth part empty (Dr. Roosevelt’s medicine). In her pocketbook was 27c and a' hotel bill for .$84 that was unpaid. Part of the fruit’ of the New Deal. LEGAL NOTICE We have witnessed the' gradual building up of public sentiment • for war craft for defense, just as was done by the Democrats under Wood- row Wilson. FDR proposed the next step towards our interest in the con­ flict in Spain, lift the embargo here for shipment o f war material. Father Coughlin in his Sunday afternoon dis­ course locked horns with FDR on that issue and by nightfall telegrams were coming into Washington so thick it looked like a snow storm. Senators and Congressmen were swamped with protests. The whole thing on the part of the New Deal is' to get mixed up in some war to keep the minds of the American people off the terrible situation at home," the nution being virtually broke by the, wreckiess spending program to bring prosperity. Margaret Stevens, whose place of residence is unknown, will take notice that John Stevens has filed his peti­ tion for divorce-in Case No. 21,846 o f the Court o f Comnfon Pleas o f Greene County, Ohio, on the ground o f wilful absence and that the case will come up for hearing on or after January 14th, 1939. FORREST DUNKLE, LEGAL NOTICE GOING TO HELP BUSINESS— NOT HINDER IT When Governor John W. Bricker read his first message before the joint session of both houses Monday evening anc among the many good recommendations was the statement that it was the purpose of the administration to "help busi ness rather than injure it." Thfe capitol roared with applause Whether you heard the message or read it you must admit that the recommendations meet with the approval of all con­ servative people. Ohio has had a bad record in many ways the past few years and her citizenship has been plunged into debt much after the fashion of what is taking place each day doWn in Washington. The Governor suggests a worthwhile movement for Ohio that she find new ways to create new wealth by inducing new industries to locate within our borders. The south has drawn heavy on Ohio industry from the days of NRA down to date Out system of confiscation of property by numerous taxes has forced numerous industries to locate elsewhere. It is an omen of good news that the Governor sees a real need for the state and suggests a movement through one of his departments to put the wheels in motion. But here is the worthwhile suggestion of the message: “ Stringent economics; no matter how distasteful, are required," Republicans should back this statement. Many Democrats endorse it as they do the entire program as outlined by Gov, Bricker, VOTERS DID NOT TRADE FOR DOLLARS When the public awakes to what politicians are doing there is nothing to check the trend of an election. The New Deal could not muster enough votes in thirteen states to keep con­ trol of state machinery. In two Democratic states the trend was even anti-New Deal. In the list of states the federal gov­ ernment spent an average of more than 200 million dollars from April 19J8 until Dec. 1, 1938, .and one state, New York, re­ ceived more than a billion dollars. It was significant that eleven of these states went Republican in the face of so much public spending which was for political purposes only. A year ago we passed through a small city in the south and found Borne local pridfe, *a sign at the city limits which read, “ We erected and paid for our own brick streets." Such a sign Was an oddity in the south where the federal government, in­ stalled water-works system in towns of 300 people. We can­ not overlook the fact that' some of the towns that were given government postoffice buildings, sewerage plants, school build­ ings, etc. gave big majorities to candidates on the Republican ticket. The average New Dealer must have a ’ feeling that gratitude was a bit lacking in spots last November. . Congress worries over politics in WPA. Previous to the election Congress said there was-no politics in WPA. In Ken­ tucky and Ohio Barkley and Bulkley were backed with WPA millions. Now Congress finds there Was politics. But election day has past and the truth comes to the surface. Congress can be just a bit more in­ dependent this year than last. Vice President John-Garner is now much in evidence, j lie would like" to get his heel on the Communists that have made a convert of FDR. Already con­ gress has made a big cut in the spend; ing program. The more John W. pricker cuts in Ohio the stronger sentiment in Congress will be for greater reductions in the waste pro­ gram. Washington is keeping a close eye on Ohio. Gamblers in Ohio, have reason to watch their step. Ohio has a gover nor that cannot be reached by the back door route where political pull has been useJ to cover up many things. How many ever stopped to think just what power a governor in Ohio has? Do you know he can cause the removal of mayors, chiefs of police, sheriffs and common pleas judges for non-performance of duty. He can direct the attorney general to go into any county to seek indict­ ments and that trials can be had in any county in the slate. If you have orderly government it is neces­ sary to have the right man for gov­ ernor, irrespective of party. Under the leadership in Washington, such as it is, one .could hardly expect much more from Ex-Gov. Davey than what we had. If the Ohio governor fol­ lows the standards and ideals in Washington, there is no hope for orderly government. Democracy, a la Roosevelt, is on the rage everywhere. A New Dealer that does not take advantage o f a second wife soon will, not be in good stand­ ing. A number o f Roosevelt’s bratn- trusters have within the past year or so divorced their wives for a second trial at the marriage counter. Even members of the cabinet, old ns some of them are, found divorce a handy thing. The Roosevelt family set a social standard that just keeps on growing. Now we hear that a former Democratic candidate in this county beat up his wife and brings suit for divorce. It was not so long ago that a show girl of the blond variety jumped out o f a New York hotel window to end her affairs with a now cabinet member. With "Gov. Bricker cleaning out the useless employees on the state pay­ roll things do not look bright to some. Republican aspirants. It should be kept in mind that the Davey ad­ ministration placed several thousand politicians on the pay roll before the election. Many o f them.had no duty to perform, not even . desk assign­ ments. Most o f them worked out in the state for the Democratic ticket. There were hundreds and hundreds of provisional appointments for ninety days. Many departments will be rip­ ped wide open to reduce the “cost o f state government as promised by Gov. Bricker. Ohio citizenship ex­ pects Republicans to be placed at the helm after the betrayal was exposed Many Republicans in every county in the state are seeking places and many already endorsed but all arc given to understand that all cannot hope to be successful. Each applicant must be able to sell himself to the head of the department that has a vacancy. H. Ervin Harner, whose residence is unknown, is hereby notified thpt Dena Iiarnev has filed her . petition against him for divorce, to obtain pos­ session of certain personal property, restraining orders, and equitable re­ lief, in case No. 21851, of the Common Pleas Court, o f Greene County, Ohio, and that said cause will be for hear­ ing on. or after the 28th day1of Jan­ uary, 1938.

Farmers have walker upon the various townships and signed up for v hat—doing what any land owner -should do to keep his farm in a high state o f cultivation.. A number of farmers have shown us the yellow sheet which conveys just how much money they will get some of these days. How many farmers actually know whether they are on par .with, their neighbor or not? The New Deal has been so crooked in every depart­ ment that one must question every act. When farmers pointedly tell us they have ‘squawked” and had their allowance raised, only to do the same thing the second time, to get another raise, we wonder if everyone has been treated “ on the square.” Some inter­ esting stories are afloat and “.murder will out some day.” Roosevelt and Wallace will not always be at the helm. The only way the public will be kept in ignorance will be by doing just what the Davey administration has done, order clerks to bum all records.
