'— jTT The injection o f Bigelow, a sisals its for forsrnor in The "Rev” .Herbert Bigelow took in a lot o f territory when he made the ' announcement some weeks ago after filing hip petitions that no politician in Ohio would dare oppose his old age pension plan. What the. Socialist- Democratic cai^lid^te for governor said and what has since happened are two different things for it would be hard -to find a prospective candidate in either the Democratic or Republican ranks that is supporting the pension plan, at least openly. The New Deal fireside chat has now become the “ Town Hall Tonight" with the White House stealing Fred Allen’s thunder for public attention. * . Another one of those in and out of war promises came over the air last Thursday night and what a panning the parents of boys of draft age received at the hands of FDR because they had the xierve to write to their senators and congressmen urging their vote against repeal of the neutrality law'so that the ad ministration c$n ship our boys abroad at the command of the White House on call from abroad. The.letter writing must be bothering the Ropsevelt followers and especially FDR'himself. In words that could not be misunderstood and in a more or les§ angry tone the parents of this country had to take it on the chin and elsewhere all because they dared write a congressman or senator their war views. Frank R, Kent, Baltimore Sun correspondent, called the Roosevelt episode “Buncombe" with a question as to who is now (writing the White House speeches. Certainly Fred Allen puts mi a better show, even though he laughs first at his own jokes. 'Again, if one had been troubled with constipation a sit through one of the FDR “ Town H a ll" speeches such as last Thursday Might would give the Allen remedy with the theme song, “ With­ out a Word of Warning", genuine competition. . ’ The forum speaker like the speakers of the ages past gave Hie nation some hew definitions from the New Deal dictionary, edited and compiled by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Such as: A radical is a man with both fectfirm ly planted-—in the air. A conservative is a man. with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to. walk. A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards. A liberal is a man'who uses his legs and his hands at the behest o f his head. i Of the four classifications where would Wallace, Ickes, Per­ kins, Lewis, Bridges and the 500 Communist government em­ ployees under the New Deal bejplaced? If a parent witp a spend-thrift son makes his will and places his. million dollar estate in the hands of a trust company and only the income to be turned over to the son, and at his death the estate passes to the spend-thrift’s children, where would the spend-thrift son be classified? Was,the elder Roosevelt a radical, a conservative, a reac­ tionary or a liberal? What kind or a will did he make for his million dollar estate?

Leading Democrats seeing their state committee weakening at one time come to the front, such men as Davey, White, Poulson, Cox and others. Leading Republicans took an adverse stand from the start with­ out apology and not a break in party ranks on that issue. -taxer as a candidate................. the next Democratic primary has j developed gome hasty action among j Democratic leaden, The Herald -has the tip that Martin >L. Davay and Charles Sawyer are out o f the picture, and their force* will get behind Gov. George White, Marietta, as f the white-hope to defeat. Bigelow in the primary and Gov. Bricker in No­ vember 1940, There is a lot o f time between now and the next state elec­ tion fo r such plans, to be upset. Suppose good luck should fall in Bigelow’s lap and his pension plan be adopted, then who would be the Democratic nominee ? You may have the reason why Democratic leaders like former governor Cox insists that Ohio down the Bigelow pension plan next week. Bigelow has some organization fol­ lowing. ’-The Communists have en­ dorsed his plan and so have a number of labor unions, particularly CIO followers. The AFL is divided with the majority rated against the plan. How a voter can go against the judgment o f leaders in the Farm Bureau, Grange, manufacturers, bank­ ers, lawyers, educators, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish leaders, all thi-ge with many more interests are openly opposing the Bigelow iplan. There will be more people outside the pension limitations who cannot qualify than those who can qualify. Tom McCaw, head o f the present old. age pension system in Ohio is out with a statement that adoption of the Bige­ low plan will repeal the present pen­ sion law and that there will, be no pensions in December if,the Bigelow plan is endorsed. Thousands of women now drawing pensions will not he ’‘wage-earners” and entitled to a pension under the Bigelow law. Mr. Roosevelt thinks it was •“ sor­ did” in Cong. Dies, D.f Texas, making known a list o f 500 Communists that the New Deal has intrenched in places o f importance in government depart­ ments. No doubt FDR is peeved for exposing his administration, especial­ ly .by a Texas Democrat, that as head of a committee has done good work pointing out what Russian Reds arc doing to and against this country. As. long as Roosevelt has Communists in his cabinet his outbursts will fall on deaf ears. The public has a mind o f its own and looks with grave suspicion not only upon his acts but his pro­ war propaganda in behalf o f England and France. To make a long story short the public has lost confidence in his promises for his acts outweigh his cleverness iii spreading propaganda from the White House. The Springfield News-Sun and the Cincinnati Times-Star each have a- dopted a plan similar to . what the Herald used some weeks ago to bring home just what it was going to cost home owners. The News-Sun car­ ried pictures o f houses in certain squares and gave the increased cost o f taxes on e&ch as computed by the county auditor. The Times-Star gave lot -numbers and appraisal now with the tax at, the present fate o f 1 per cent and the new tax ,oi two per cent asked by Bigelow. Where a property owner paid $25 on his modest home ander the one per cent plan the cost ,vith the Bigelow tax would be ?75 year. The Herald used a similar plan of computing the tax on all property in a certain square showing what the increased cost to all owners in that square would be. Lawyers arp calling the attention of church and college people to the L.gelow amendment which does not provide'for any exemption for prop erty used for religious or educational purposes. As far back, as the organ­ ization o f the state our forefathers safeguarded these institutions by making them exempt from any tax burden. Mr. Bigelow wants all such taxed under his single tax plan. Sentiment has reached the boiling point on the. pension issue and as a result o f the (Bigelow statement at hid Springfield "niecHpg* when he- said if his plnn -war not adopted, this year' ho would try again next year and make the rate five and one-fourth per cent instead of his suggested two per cent this year. Rather than have old age pensioners drawn into another fight, sentiment is dominent that the legislature make it illegal for any old age pensioner to circulate such peti tions or sign - same where he or she is to be a beneficiary, under penalty o f being forever barred from receiving such a grant in Ohio.
