LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Some time ago you carried an ar­ ticle on the Bigelow old age pension plan and the, referendum proposed. I like some others must admit I knew little about it until that time.. Since I find it is a different plan and one that will mean much to every property owner in the state. But property owners are not all to be hit, even the person'who would get the pension would be no better o ff than under the present pension he receives today. Being thp owner of a small farm and having business with an attorney in a neighboring county I put a number o f questions to him about the newest pension plan and how it would effect tne. The catch in the whole plan is that few people think they have or live on land valued at $20,000 an acre. I f the plan is adopted and is to work I am told it will be assessed on the fractional basis of the $20,000 valua­ tion. Thus we all live on $20,000 value land in Ohio. If the group plan of an acre of town lost together is the method, then everyone gets in on that plan. Anyway you look at it the land owner, farm or town property, all will bo hit and as this 2 .per cent tax is a constitutional plan it will be added to your present one per cent tax, making taxes on all real estate three per cent or more, This would more than double our present taxes, small home and big farm alike. The feature that will not be kept in front for consideration is the fact all this tax has to be paid by some one or more persons, directly and every one in the state indirectly, The man­ ufacturer will have an extra cost to force up the price o f his goods to the merchant and he to the-consumer. The renter or. farm or town property will find he will have higher rents to pay in many ways, - Being a small farmer I now submit my side and where will I get back the increase in this extra 2 per cent tax when I must sell my hogs, wheat and corn in a marker I have no control over ? In other words the farmer is to be the goat once more, rich farmer and poor farmer alike, and Ohio far- owners may be forced to rent farm land for cash and not on the fifty- fifty plan so common in this state. There is time yet to consider the pension plan more fully before Nov, election. The more it costs to operate a farm or factory the less labor there will bo for everyone. This leads to im proved machinery to eliminate all kinds o f labor. Let no one be deceiv­ ed in thinking they are to get spnie- ting for nothing. SMALL FARM OWNER FARMBUREAU WIL OPOSE AMENDMENTS The board o f trustees o f the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation has reiterat­ ed its stand in opposition to all pro­ posed amendments to the Ohio Con­ stitution, according -to a report o f its recent meeting, just received from the headquarters in Columbus. Emphasizing that it is not opposed to old age pensions and that it defin­ itely supports the present old age pension system, the board voted unan- mously against the Bigelow pension amendment (1) because o f its pro-, posed 2 per cent tax on an unknown area of. real estate, (2) because it i provides for an earmarked income tax which would “practically preclude Any further consideration” of a construc­ tive income tax program for the state General Revenue Fund, and (3 ) be­ cause provision'for an old age pension system has already been made by state and federal enactment. The Farm Bureau directors-express- their opposition to the second and third Bigelow proposed amendments, providing for reduction o f the number o f petition signatures required for instating constitutional amendments .and legislative enactments because passage o f these amendments would, it was contended, assure eventual a- doptian o f the unicameral form o f leg­ islature and other amendments long fought by rural-Ohio, land would begin the breaking down o f our present form o f representative democratic govern­ ment. Opposition was also voted to the pro­ posed amendment providing fo r a State.Board o f Education with the explanation that this did not repre­ sent opposition to a board o f educa*- tion but rather that the present pro­ posal does not properly safeguard such a board from becoming a political football, and that any future proposal found necessary should be so safe­ guarded. Rrcposed amendments to the Na­ tional Cooperatives Marketing Act, introduced in the last session o f 'Con­ gress by Senator George W . Norris, and providing fo r minority member- . ship o f non-farmers in the farm co­ operatives, and the handling o f non- farm commodities, without precluding them from Farm Credit Administra­ tion benefits, were unamimously fav­ ored by the Trustees. Fungus Disease On Hybrid Variety Com A new threat to com farmers has shown up in southern Ohio and In­ diana where hybrid com has been in use. It is a fungus disease preying most often on what science has termed helminthosporium, a Greek word for “ worm spores.” The plague is brown flat worms with stripes across the back, that cause sudden illness to all live stock that eats the fodder. The disease also reduces toe crop production and in most sections the crop lias been reduced more than fifty percent. It seldom gets on the ears. One form of the- disease is known as Stewart’s disease, that resembles the fungus growth. The latter follows the veins and the spots are longer. The other form just spreads out from the center o f infection. Some claim that the disease is the result o f the dry weather. While little is known about either variety it is not often found when there is an a- bundance o f rain. Election Board Scans Bigelow Signatures The Greene County Board o f Elec­ tions canvassed some 20 supplemen­ tary Bigelow petitions containing 1,101 signatures, The board invalidated 230 names as illegal. On the first set o f petitions there were 562 names thrown out o f toa 2,101 names filed. The total names invalidated was 702 or 24 per cent o f a total o f 3,432 signatures. ■' .,.,-.1....
