' j ^IDAY , OCTOBER 20, 1989 When In Doubt Vote “NO” on any Constitutional Amendment or Referendem Proposal. WE ARE DRAWING STEP BY STEP NEARER— TO WAR I f you have a-son of draft age you might as well make up your mind now tha t Roosevelt will have .him a t the front in Europe a t the first opportunity. I t is certain th a t regardless of the efforts of the minority in congress to maintain strict neu trality the Democratic majority is going to vote for repeal of th a t law. Roosevelt dickered with Anthony Eden and King George during their visit and committed this nation to furnish Jboth men and money, just as was done during the World War, irrespective of the views of the majority of people at home. The Senate will no doubt vote to repeal the neutrality law this week and the House will do so later under threats to in­ dividual members if they do hot support the administration plan. „ England tossed Poland to the German forces to keep the latter from the British Isles until Roosevelt could get American troops across the ditch but events in the Democratic party under Sen. Clark, D., Mo„ who is leading the minority, delayed action on the neutrality bill, until now. Meantime Poland has been wiped out and both Hitler and Stalin take their slice. If the worst comes to the worst England will foresake even France to save her hide when Hitler starts his “bath of blood.” Much of the turmoil abroad is due to England’s attitude in the past. Certainly this country does not need to have any part in this war in as much as the allies have money for war but not one cent on their World War debt due this nation. Washington orders the Ohio militia to recruit its ranks and drill twice each week. Think of tha t ! / COMMUNISM IN YOUR GOVERNMENT One of the oustanding acts of the New Deal administra­ tion is the work of the Dies committee in Congress investi­ gating and exposing the activities ot: Communistic Reds in and out of government circles. Some weeks ago Dies stated tha t Roosevelt was to fire 2,000 Communists that had been given government places o: importance during his administration.' It has been chargee frequently and never denied but tha t these appointments were made to pay for Communistic support in the election of Roose­ velt. Following the Dies announcement, Roosevelt denied that he had ever made the statement. This pleased the Russian Reds who were on the payroll. \ This week Cong. Dies makes known a list of 500 Russian Reds or members of the Communist party that are on govern ment pay roll at the grace of FDR. A storm of protest arose because the names were made public both in Red circles as well as New Deal quarters. For instance there is the name of Edwin S. Smith, member of the NLRB board 'that protects the CIO union leaders in strikes.- His salary is $10,000. Louis Block, Maritime Labor Board, salary $10,000, where CIO is welcome and industry not. Mordecai Ezekial, Agriculture Adminitration under Secretary Wallace a t a salary of $8,600. Radical labor leaders who make no denial of being Communists are in important places at high salaries. ■ / With the cabinet loaded with pinks of the Perkins and [ekes stripe and cheap lawyers with Red leaning on the Supreme bench, you have a sample of what Russia is in the U. S. A. And yet Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, the traveling half of the presi­ dential household, attempts to smear Col. Charles Lindberg because he does not approve of the Roosevelt back-door methot of entering the European war. , RENEW SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX LEVY * You Will be handed a ballot at the coming election calling for a vote on continuing the special three mill tax levy for sup port of the local school. During the last five years the levy was authorized, the board at times found sufficient funds with out using the full amount. You can depend on the. board con tinuing this policy in the future for it is just as important today th a t the board have sufficient finance to keep up the requirec standard of our schools. By voting for this levy you are no' adding new taxes in any form. HOHUNT 1 K 6 sms The Hunting Season will soon be here so you had better Protect Live Stock and Fences WE HAVE ’EM “The Bey.” Herbert Bigelow is get­ ting a lot of free publicity theso days. The Single tax advocate has had the left-appendix to his name for many years. He is unique in the field of eligion. He has no church. He has no church denomination, being a single unit to himself. His church is neither Protestant, Catholic or Jewish as we recognize church division these days. For years the “Rev,” has been, an exponent of single tax, all taxes to be levied on land, He has been more active in Socialism than preaching religion. He has prayed for the day when that great “divide” will take place between those “ who have and those who have not.” He is more in­ dependent in the field of religion than in politics. Wherf not a candidate, he is strong for Socialism. When a can­ didate for office he is a" Democrat. Once more he is a thorn in the side of Democratic leaders, just as he was forty years ago. The party is split over his entrance as a candidate for governor, using the old age pension plan to ride oyer Charles Sawyer and Martin L. Davey, both men of wealth of the Torry type so much despised by the one-hundred per cent Socialist, and the hide-bound New Dealer. ha* appealed his. spit for $4,583 for salary. Col, Charles Lindbergh re­ ceived the White House boot because he exercised his individual right in expressing himself as opposed to re- ;jeal of the neutrality act so we Han meddle in the British-German war. Morgan exposed wrong doing among New Dealers on his board. W. F. Kirk, state master of Ohio Grange, is out with a forceful state­ ment to farmers in an appeal to de­ feat the Bigelow old age pension plan, He says the Bigelow plan would be a “first lien on state revenues”; would threaten “revenues for school and local government” and would nullify the 10-mill limitation for which rural areas worked for so many years prior to its adoption. As to the second pro­ posal of Bigelow reducing the re­ quirement of 100,000 signatures for initiated bills to 50,000 signers, “is but opening the way for the single tax government which is to place all taxation upon real estate,” says Kirk. This amendment would destroy rep­ resentative government farmers have been warned. Herbert Mengerb, Columbus cor­ respondent of the Enquirer, digs up some history in that Bigelow in 1902 a candidate on the Democratic was ticket for secretary of state, using the single tax plan to win but he met a terrible defeat as the vote of the rural counties rolled into state- head­ quarters. It was in that' campaign that Bige­ low spoke before a Farmer's Institute in the local opera house, advocating single tax, but he made no impres­ sion on the audience of farmers. The writer of this column called on Bige low in his room at the local hotel fol­ lowing his talk. His last statement to the writer was: “As long as I am able to hold up my right arm I will advocate the adoption of single tax in Ohio." Many are of the opinion .hat Bigelow today is more interest­ ed in adoption of single tax than the pension plan, hoping to carry his :hange in the constitution from 100,- 300 signers to petitions to 50,000 signers, Bigelow in his speech in Vlemorial hall, Springfield, last Sun lay, said: “Wo are not proposing i flat pension of $50 a month for •ingle persons, or $80 for married :ouples who are retired from gainful jeeupation.” ‘He repeated the same ■statement Monday evening over the •adio. At the same time he appealed 'or contributions and read a list of .310 union organizations that had al .•cady made gifts. ,He also made it jlnin that only “wage earners’ :ould benefit under his pension plnn, !e never mentions that if his p lan ts . idopted the present old age pension plan will become illegal or paid only mt of federal funds. In Texas where the same pension plan was adopted most of the pensioners get only $8.50 * month from federal fdnds, while in Ohio at present it averages about 523.50 a month. Many trades people, irofessional, teachers, preachers, farmers and farm labor as well as re tired businessmen or women are not included in the Bigelow plan. Deal radical **» NINETY YEARS By Charles E-nua Lamala Senator Clark, D., Mo,, brings up an unusual situation in the Senate de­ bate over neutrality when he pictures Roosevelt at a church gathering and the pastor praying for the King of England that he might.have strength to overcome his enemies. This war business brings up unusual things. We ran across this news item from Eng­ land: Newcastle, Eng. Conscientious objectors broke up a meeting when Judge Richardson, chairman said, ‘I am as certain, as sure as I sit here, that if Christ appeared today he would approve of this war." Back in 1914 we recall a remark by the ifaisar, “Me and God," as partners in he World War. ' “I'll be ninety years old, if I live five months more.” An active farmer spoke the words. He was starting the evening chores, and we met in the barnyard. He stood straight, He heard easily. His eyes, were good. We conversed several minutes, He re­ sumed his chores, I went my way. I had faced a remarkable man.* Ninety years is a long time for one human life. Not many who were bom in 1859 still survive. Most all have dropped out of the picture. Zachary Taylor was the president of the United States. “Old Bough and Ready” and his comrades were back from the Mexican War two years. The Civil War was still eleven years away. No one dreamed of the Spanish-American war or the World War. No automobile had been built. There was no airplane or radio, no movies, no cement roads, no tele­ phones. In the conversation he had asked, “Do you see that field of corn over there?” As I recall, it appeared to be about six acres. “I cut all but twenty shocks of that," he said with becoming pride, “I ’d get tired and then go in to the house and rest a. while. I'd soon go at it again. I like to work. I t is good for me.” I had listened in sheer admiral tion. Here was a program of life. Work and* rest, a proper balance of interests and mingled enjoyment. He said he was bom on this farm, and always lived on it. His father had owned it before him, and before that his father was the owner. He and 'his- wife Have been married sixty-five years. She is eighty-six. They have many descendants. What contentment! What devotion to one spot. Most of us Americans are migrants. Few of ua stay in the one locality a lifetime. There are the rare exceptions, and this is one of them. “Yes, I'm a churchman,” he said. Then I surmised the secret of this long well-spent life. He used his own powers under the direction of the Higher Power. He watched the seasons come and go, the crops un­ fold, the children develop, and in- industry and government evolve, under the benign providence of the Eternal. And he had his place in life, and made the most of it. Ninety years. A period between two eternities for back of him is the boundless past, and before him the un­ disclosed future. He is passing thiB way but once1. When the' pilgrimage is ended here he will never more re turn. Therefore he is using every day to the best of his ability, for in the A prominent citizen of Jamestown xplains that “ things are in a heck of a shape,” due to recent suit by a bond holder which will force all prop l ty owners to connect with the muni­ cipal sewerage system. This means •vlso that the property must have water connections to have use of the rewerage system. To make matters worse a rental charge is-fixed for use of the sewer connection. This sys­ tem say« there are ‘marly that will 'ind the new. order a real hardship due to lack of finances. Both water and •sewer systems were New Deal jobs, he sort that had the “free money” rom Washington attached. Every­ body in the village this citizens says ‘ell for the chance to “get something 'or nothing” without looking deeper nto the “small print” in the contract. There is nothing the town can do but 'ollow court orders and “pay regard­ less of how it hurts”. Even though e te rn ityo f the future,'there'will every piece of property in the village finai estimation of the real values Is connected with both systems, there o£ hi„ life ^ by man and God. vill hot be enough revenue to meet Hero’s hope that he win ,ive five die “court order. , J months more to toe ninety, and then T years beyond that.

GRBENBCOUNTY’S ONLY KSNDSBlNO PLANT The United States Supremo Court, Roosevelt controlled, ran away with decision that set New Dealers in the jitters stage. Just what influenced the court to back away from the New plan of controlled medicine, Communistic proposal, is mystery. The Department of Justice undertook to get even with the Ameri can Medical Society by charging a violation of the Shcrman-anti-trust act. A District of Columbia court rendered ■ a decision against the New Dealers and had it affirmed by the highest court. Dr. Roosevelt, Dr. Perkins, Dr. Ickes, Dr. Cohen and others who think they know medicine can lay their defeat of the Commun­ istic plan to their own court.
