Katered at the Post Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 31« 1887, as second class matter ______________ —L FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1939 FARMER ESCAPED ALONG WITH BUSINESS When the legislative committee of the Ohio legislature voted to pigeon-hole the Communistic wage and hour bill fashioned after the brand the New Deal has been insisting on, farmers, store and shop keepers along with manufacturers, escaped for two years at least a law tha t would fasten some­ thing on them tha t would eat up profits faster than any line of business could develop. It is needless to say no farmer member or shop keeper as a member offered such a bill. The origin of it was among labor union leaders. There can always be found some member of the legislature tha t thinks he cannot be elected without the organ­ ized union vote so he is willing to offer , any kind of union bill. Newspapers today are faced with federal regulations in regard to employing boys under 16 years of age^to deliver papers. Under the New Deal law the first interpretation was tha t a newsboy was an individual merchant buying his papers, delivering and collecting on his own time. Now we hear that no boy or girl under sixteen can have any kind of employment other than farm labor for parents only. In some respects we have come to believe tha t a mistake has been made in opposing some of this Communistic legisla­ tion. W® might have been out of the woods sooner had the New Deal been given a free hand to pass-any and all kinds of laws irrespective of who they hit. Early opposition stayed the attempt to force all farm and domestic labor under the social security laws. When the farmer and housewife had to do as business does now, by paying what is equal to an income tax for labor, we believe the end of Roosevelt’s peaceful revolution, as he termed it would have been terminated at the last con­ gressional election. ' * Farmers in particular can thank themselves that Ohio has a Republican legislature that cannot be dictated too from Wash­ ington. Passage of the wage and hour law would only be add­ ing another New Deal idea to what we nhw have. Wo have been much' interested in the views expressed, by southern pub­ lishers over the so-called resignation of Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt as a mem­ ber of the D. A. R. because the heads of that organization would not rent their hall for a concert to be given By Marion Anderson, colored. In as much as the D. A. R. membership in the south is Democratic what the press says will be of interest to northeners. We have been trying to locate caustic criticism of the D. A, R. for refusing use of their hall for the concert hut it is lacking down south. Westbrook Pegler, noted Washing­ t o n correspondent and world wide traveler, who writes for a string of daily papers, and was in the south when this controversy broke in the press, asks a very pertinent question of Mrs. Roosevelt. “Have you resigned from the Democratic party?” This reflects on southern Democracy which ;r in,control of both branches of con­ gress and everyone Jaiows that the south draws the color line to a vpry fine point. Mrs. Roosevelt of course has nqt answered Pegler—and prob­ ably will not. Ij will Bell next year not even himself | knows. Two men were discussing inherit­ ance taxes, both land owners, when we approached thepi in a local store. One had had experience in seeing a chunk of his father's life-time savings clip­ ped off by the state, the estate not being large enough to come in under the federal tax also. The other while luke-warm to inheritance had never had to face the tax collector yet if he continues to own what he has to­ day, his widow will have the exped­ ience. Where to draw the line on what should be taxed under this form has brought out many arguments. The fortune of the millionaire is just as important to him as the farmer or merchant that has spent a lifetime laying away $10,000 or $15,000. No one knows what the extent of out talents are until we have had the fullest opportunity to develope them. Inheritance tax Is a tax on thrift for the businessman, farmer or' million­ aire. If the million dollar estate should pass through three hands in that many years the state and federal government would eat more than seventy-five per cent of it, leaving the last heir around one-fourth of the original amount. At the time the Ohio law was passed the state rep­ resentative from Greene county was a loud exponent of high inheritance] taxes. Death later uncovered a record] CENTENARIAN WISDOM JUST AS GOOD TODAY In 1922 the late Senator Cornelius Cole was 100 years old, and Los Angeles gave him a banquet, at which, his mind was alert as ever, he spoke. He said, according to the Saturday Evening Post, that h^j had only one message for those present, and that it had been impressed on him through long experience : namely, that human .liberties were won in this country at heavy sacrifice of blood and fortune; that liberty is easily lost; that we must be ready to fight again if necessary to keep it; that we must never suffer any man to arrogate to himself the powers of a king, emperor or dictator. . / / At tha t banquet was Paul G. Hoffman, now head of the Studebaker company. Speaking in New York recently, Mr. Hoffman recalled Senator Cole’s statement, and said: “We listened tolerantly because he was an old man. but privately most of 'us though he was living in a world of ideas belonging wholly to the past . . . What did an old man’s warn­ ing have to do with us? We had just finished making the world safe for democracy. "I have thought of that address a thousand times. The old senator was nqt in his dotage. It was we who were blind. Do I need to ask you to think of the countries where in recent years civil and religious liberty has vanished. Do I heed to-ask you to think of how seriously at this moment those liberties are in jeopardy in democratic countries ? “Why are they in’jeopardy? Because of pressures operat­ ing against free enterprise. Those pressures come from two sources: First, those who are wrongly called economic plan­ ners, but who have something in mind quite different from plan­ ning—namely, government control of the processes of produc­ tion and distribution; secondly, from, minority groups. “Special privilege is an invitation to government control, and no business can long survive bureaucratic domination.” March 4th was the sixth birthday of the New Deal. Six years ago Roosevelt said ten million men and women were un­ employed. Labor leaders now contend the number under the “cut and try” plan is thirteen million. No one sang, “Happy Days are Here Again,” on the fourth this year. ; Southern papers also point out that theRoosevelt administration controls the school auditoriums, a half dozen or more with large seating capac­ ities, yet these were refused the colored vocal artist. It looks like Pegler asked a question that may prove to become a political issue in •the next presidential campaign, particularly if FDR attempts to dictate who shall be the nominee. His stooge for sounding public sentiment bn the third term is Harry Hopkins of the “tax and spend” unit of the New Deal. We suggest that Pegler get down to brass tacks now that he has visited the Warm Springs Foundation. He- should inform his hundreds of thou­ sands of readers ■just how many colored boys and girls, if any he found •in the Roosevelt southern health re­ sort where a negro never has been crippled enough yet with infantile paralysis to get inside the doors of :hat institution. If Miss Anderson •hoitld be unfortunate to contact that Ircad disease will Mrs. Roosevelt in- sist of her husband that he open the loors to permit this patient the bene-.| its of treatment accbrded whites—if they have money enough? If the Roosevelt's wanted to do so much for Miss Anderson why did not FDR open the groat ■ auditorium in the Depart- nent of Commerce Building under the jontrol. of Harry Hopkins ? Pegler should be complimented on. the ques­ tions asked over Mrs. Roosevelt’s resignation from the D, A. R. He should now- point out the government and school buildings under control of the Roosevelt’s that could have been opened to Miss Anderson.

The following communication was sent the Dayton Journal and is worth reproduction: To the Editor:— When I was in my teens I worked in a factory' where the profits .were ample for its needs. The owner sold the factory to men who began to change everything without knowing whey they were making the changes. In less than two years the new owners had to borrow money to keep from having a receiver appointed. When I saw the senseless changes the men who came into power in Washington on March .4,- 1933, were making in government affairs I knew they would prove a curse to our country. I wrote Mr. Roosevelt shortly after he came into power in Washington that this was my country, that they had no right to wreck it. It does Mr. Roosevelt no injustice to say that he would not have been thought of for the presidency if his name had hot been Roosevelt, ‘ .It does- Mr: 'Roosevelt no injustice to say he would not have been nomi­ nated for the presidency if Mr. Mc- Adoo had not for personal reasons forced his nomination on his party. It does Mr. Robsevslt no injustice to say that he was the pampered son of a doting mother who shielded him from financial responsibility and turn­ ed. over to him with a lavish hand money which she inherited to . spend as fancy led him. It is money that is being taken from small and large businesses and put into useless, senseless and idiotic schemes that is causing the people to go around with a feeling of despair, for the money so taken from business not only cripples business, but keeps from the homemaker money needed in the home. —ALONZO B.
