Export prices and exports have fallen off and the in­ dustries o f the country are unable to compete under Socialistic conditions with those o f other countries. One doesn't have to go to New Zealand to see what a policy destructive to private enterprise, does; to business— witness our own government ownership drive against our, electric industry and the havoc it has raised in this country— loss o f private jobs, unnecessary loss o f private investments and increased taxes. It's a p o o r time fo r us to point a finger at New Zealand. NO CAPITAL STRIKE— JUST FEAR Accord ing to reports from Washington,, a group of more or less left-wing government officials is advocating a decisive governmental attack on what they term the "strike" o f capital. Part o f the attack would be centered against the banks, on the grounds that they are hoarding money. i This program might turn out to be a rabble-rouser among 'the uninformed, but that is about all that can be said fo r it. Banks are cautious with their deposits, not only as a matter o f duty to depositors, but because government regulations require it, and because, under chaotic conditions today, avenues o f safe investment are steadily closing. Any banker in his right mind wants as many sound and profitable loans as he can— it’s not his fault that comparatively few can be found. Stable government policies which would do everything pos­ sible to assure business a profitable future, would do more than anything else to break the so-called "strike” o f capital, which is' nothing more or less than fear on the parjt o f millions o f citizens to invest their savings, in the face o f political trends that tend more and more to reduce the cha,nce fo r profit, and safety fo r private capital. Attacking business which is doing everything it can, under the most adverse conditions, to serve America, will produce more fear, more uncertainty, more de­ pression— not less. It wil be a national tragedy if a group o f politicians, blind to the lesson o f the past, is permitted to go . in fo r more destructive business baiting. i ’’ ---- W - f | WEE Time after time the past few yea rs, the question o f peddlers selling in th e ' village with a supposed veteran’s li- j cense has been an issue. We had been informed tliat 'the cities in Ohio did not recognize the ‘'license” but the j bluff was always worked on village officials here and other places. Some time ago we took up the question with a former state senator who is attor­ ney- for retail business interests, He knew of no law that gave such au­ thority because one happened to be a veteran. That would be class legis­ lation. ' - - r We notice by the Uolumbus Citizen that the veteran license issue is up in that city. A peddler/of flowers was selling at a cemetery/entrance, Tues­ day.- The policeman asked to see the license to sell in the city hut the vendor could only produce whnt was purported to be a veteran certificate to prove they arc veterans while sell­ ing or soliciting. The vendor was sent to jail. Threo fines were levied against peddlers without a city li­ cense; What local officials have taken to be a license is nothing more than a certi­ ficate that the holder is a veteran. The state law does not give anyone any authority to sell or solicit. That is entirely up to village or city offi­ cials according to the Columbus at­ torney. CHURCH COLLEGES GIVEN PRAISE When Dr. Ralph Cooper Hutchison, president o f Washing­ ton and Jefferson college, termed America’s independent, col­ leges and universities the symbols o f freedom and democracy, a warning was given the serious minded people in the nation such as has not been given in many years. Dr. Hutchison was speaking to the. delegates o f the Presbyterian General Assembly in Cleveland. His though that government control and financ­ ing o f higher education might conceivably be the first step toward totalitarian government in this country. 1 Speaking further in behalf o f the church college, Dr. Hutchison sa id : . "Ou r church colleges are champions o f free thought,” he said, “ They are subject to the laws o f the state, but the fact that they accept no subsidy from the state marks them the most glorious free institutions that the’ world has known. As long as they remain free from dictation by those in political power we cannot have the fascism which has conquered so many other nations. ■ . hi . “ But a new crisis has arisen. Taxes are eliminating the source.from which these colleges were,supported— namely, the surplus wealth o f individuals . . . And after appropriating these funds, the various units o f government are turning them back into the creation o f competing colleges and universities. "T o support more colleges and more universities means for the politicians more influence, more patronage and more con­ trol. Remember that the colleges o f Germany were state sup­ ported and that when the government there denied freedom they had no choice hut to acquiesce.” Wc have often wondered what .the Farm Bureau will do when the Bige­ low pension proposal comes up for a vote this fall. The Bureau could not see the poor relief situation as the Ohio legislature did. The lifting of the percentage requirements on -ma­ jority vote for three years was done after much deliberation facing the facts and the coming situation. The Bureau leaders were only looking at the picture as it exists today. The legislature was looking into the future. ■ , velt and Hull were gelling the nation a plan SSflfprotaction as war wag at our dOQr._jye must have this and that to cost-Difliona to gave democracy here and around the world- We must get gokjg^at £wce or 9 ifle r, would jump aoroM the Bitch any night. The King and the Queen, have taken .the first page o f the press. The Roose­ velts have laid the war plans in the closet until society can inspect the Royal visitors, Meantime fighting to save Democracy is to be a day late. However while the King is away from home his goyerriment throws the Jews in Palestine over to their worst enemy, the Arabs. England does not want democracy in India, then why should we be excited about the Roose­ velt war plans ? For many months an eastern syn­ dicate has operated a nation wide pole on various subjects o f general interest. Sopietimes it is on the pop­ ularity o f this and that person in public life. It may bo business prob­ lems. or legislation by the congress. A t any rate all results are read with interest and so far no one questions the tabulations. We were interested in a late poll. Mouths ago John N. Garner for president on the Demo­ cratic ticket stood at 42 per cent a- gninst Roosevelt if he wanted a third term. Farley arid Hull had 10 per cent each. A late poll gives the Vice President 60 per cent of the vote with 13 per cent for Hull and nine per cent for Farley. All New Deal forces have been combating the Garner move­ ment as the next Democratic nominee. At least half the membership of Congress returned to their homes for Memorial Day exercises and visits, with the result that Congress trans­ acted but little business the first part of the week. However, more and more important measures are being brought up for consideration and it now ap­ pears it will not he long until the rush and high pressure on legislative matters in preparation for adjourn­ ment will be the order o f the day. Most legislative veterans, however, are still predicting that Congress will be in session until around the first, of August,'and perhaps longer. Those more optimistic express the hope that final adjournment may come soon after the 4th of July, A t the end o f 1938 there were 257,- .000 Ohio families dependent on WPA, .86,000 on general relief. A t the end o f 1937, the case totals for the two were about equal—856,000 on WPA, 88,000 on general relief. As a refuta­ tion to the campaign charge that the 1938* list Was "built up” because of the general election heid that year, officials claim that without this WPA increase, direct relief demands would have swamped local and state treas nries, which as it was, had to pro­ vide 22 per cent more relief money in 1938 than in 1937/ in i..■i f, i i i .

POINT W ITH PRIDE Bigelow is one of the brainiest So­ cialist leaders,,in the country. He was a New Deal congressman but met defeat last fall and now is devoting his time to the pension movement, having le ft RoOsevclt to his fate. It was his cunning method o f placing this new pension plan before the people tliat has nttractod the thought­ ful business leaders of the state. Col­ lecting on $20,000 an acre land sounds good and would at first hit only owners of city property. Bige­ low knew thnt if lie included $200 an acre land this would hit the farmer so lie wants to get his scheme adopted once, being a single taxer, then he could muster enougli pension votes in another year to reach down ns low as the $75 an acre land, out in the rural counties. How many remember the Bigelow speech in the local opera house many years ago when lie ad­ dressed a farmers’ institute ? If you were too young to recall it was a talk advocating the. collection o f all and every kind, o f tax from farm and city real estate. Some o f the Farm Bureau leaders of today evidently were not living in Bigelow’s earlier career. A Democratic boss from Kansas City hAs entered the Federal prison at Leavenworth, to start serving his 15 month sentence for evnsion' of income tax. Republican prosecutor, Dewey, New York City, placed guilt at the door of a Roosevelt politician in New York City on the Number’s Racket. Now Frank Murphy, attorney general, former CIO governor of Michigan wants to bent Dewey’s record and is out to make it hot for the Demo­ crats that have .not been paying thoir all on income tax returns to an ad­ ministration thnt needs the money badly. - - . f'/fw f l ' bright* id icn i: 5**lprokci * ©rdinnv ^ wft be proud of • Green Seel hint . >itedey,A#morrowend for the yeert to cemc«, v \ANN A*$ A G1 IEN SEAL PAINT CEDARVILLE FARM IMPLEMENT, INC , Cedarville, Ohio ^ w w v w exhibits, etc,, will run well over a million dollars, Incidentally, it in bard for some Members o f Congress to understand how money can be found in WPA funds for the construction and operation o f tho WorkPs Fair build­ ing and exhibit, while at the same time lveadB o f large and needy families are being laid off o f WPA wojjc be­ cause of insufficient funds, Incident­ ally, the testimony before the commit­ tee also brought out the fact that most o f the labor used on the construc­ tion o f the WPA building at the New York Fair was regular union labor and was not drawn from the WPA or relief rolls. It is estimated that only twenty percent o f the workers employ­ ed were on WPA.
