This BUDGETHEARING There is more discussion in this country today over the spreading of communistic views and methods used to under­ mine the government, than has ever- been known. If the war has done nothing else it has awakened the American people to a point where we find this dictatorship brand of government almost at our own door. Every state in the union is exercised and moreover it is not a political issue' speaking in terms o f the two leading parties, • Every reader of the Herald will recall we have been pound­ ing against this movement for nearly ten years. We could see the Russian idea of government gradually taking hold of a cer-i tain class of our people. We discovered the idea was being injected in our schools and colleges and more so in the larger universities. Russia started out to control the world just as Hitler no doubt plans to day. Great sums of money were sent to this country to hire speakers, teachers and socialist politi­ cians, along with labor leaders to spread the gospel of dictator­ ship and class hatred. In as much as Communism ten years ago was a thing that could not be seen from every door step, the public was slow in realizing what was going on,* If one objected to such teach­ ing even in our own state university up popped the phrase “ academic freedom” , which all will recall came to lifrht under the administration of Martin L. Davey when exposure of such teaching-was made-in various departments of Ohio State Uni­ versity. .Gradually that element has been weeded out, yet no doubt there remains a certain element that is fostering such belief in a quiet maimer., At that time there was a group of students organized at Ohio State to sponsor Communism. That no longer exists, at least in the open, If you think Communism has not a hold on this country just attend the coming Democratic Natinal convention in Chi­ cago next week. It was plainlyJn evidence at the Republican convention in Philadelphia. The average conservative Repub­ lican or Democrat that gets higrinformation from the press or from the air has no means of knowing the inside working of Communist leaders. The average Republican away, from a large ., city probably still hoovers the idea that his brother Republi­ can in the big city holds to the same views, just as was done ; fifty years ago. This is not so, for today even among the Repub- bean delegates there were hundreds from the cities that lean to the Communistic idea of government. This is the younger element of the party that must live and breath his life blood in the environment of those who would destroy all political parties as we know them in this country. More than once it was remarked in a serious statement among convention dele­ gates and visitors in Philadelphia that we might be having the last big Republican convention. The same remark applied to the coming Democratic convention, especially if we have four more years of the New Deal under Roosevelt or some one he sponsors. . . ■ ’ Communism is not a political issue from the party stand­ point. It is a method by which the dictatorship of government can be foisted on the people whether they waVit it or not. _Com­ munism works in numerous way to keep the people divided on public issues. It originated in Russia and has spread over the entire civilized world due to the fact that people can be in­ fluenced or hired to teach ot preach most anything in this day and age. In Italy it is known as Fascism. In Germany it is *called Nazism. In this country it is called the New Deal. Stalin is the dictator in Russia, Mussolini the dictator in Italy and Franklin D. Roosevelt attempting to break up our democratic form of government, as well as both political parties, to be­ come a dictator in fact in this country . . Roosevelt has copied his ideas from all three of the old world dictators. He has surrounded himself with the cream of the Communistic elements in this country naming many of them to high positions in the government service. The Dies committee ■"■found Roosevelt was bound to a pre-election promise of 500 appointments from the ranks of Communists in return for their support of the Democratic nominee. The White House might •Be termed the Communist'headquarters in this ilation with husband.and wife preaching the devilish doctrine day and flight. Mbreover the New Deal has placed a front for the Spread of the enemy of democratic government in holding up what he terms “ intellectuals” as exponents of the idea, these being the educators of t^he nation that could be won to the new idea. That the nation faces in Communism something far more dangerous to our future, public and private, than any issue that has ever been before the American people, is the Roosevelt idea of drafting the'youth of the land from '18 to 23 ybars of , age and place them in- government camps for “ military” train­ ing and education under Sidney Hillman, vice president of CTO. an admitted Communist and atheist. Russia regimented" its jfouth from the first for Communism.. Italy did likewise and ITer soldiers of today are from the ranks of the youth of yester­ day. Germany followed suit and now Roosevelt adopts the same plan to force the youth of 'this nation to fall in line with creed adopted by the old world dictators. Russia banned all religion of every sort. Italy did not go so far but the youths are taught that the government comes first. Germany under Hitler has banned both Catholic ant Jewish religions but places the state above even the-Protestant religion. Fraternal orders were banned in old world countries. Some two thousand American citi­ zens who crossed into. Canada, indud- inb a number-from Springfield, have had much trouble leaving that country due to new rules on.foreigners « b , , . . , .. a* v . » bm sale, driver's license, lodge card or crat elected even Ior aog cawncr insurance policy is no proof that you rave ever taeen a lifelong resident o f the U.

One Democratic nominee in this state has confided in friends the ?statement that if “ Roosevelt forced crat elected even fo r dog down in Brown county.” The famous New Deal cartel sys'tem o f holding grains,' meats and other food stuffs for the two American con­ tinents, haB struck a snag. Brazil has let it be known over the air that she will not be bound by any-such agree­ ment.; Also she says when the war is over she will purchase what her people needs from the nation that can giye the lowest priee for the best goods. Once again Messrs. Roosevelt and Hull in mixing in foreign trade relations have spilled the beans for American business. Our business men are able to handle their own affairs without the aid o f inexperienced New Dealers. On our return from' Philadelphia, we were introduced to several Repub­ lican delegates from Texas and Okla­ homa. In discussing the convention events we found all were much Jn- trested in success this fall for candi­ date Willkie and the- entire Republi­ can ticket everywhere. We made in quiry as to sentiment in the two states among Democrats as to Roosevelt for a third term. A ll admit he would con­ trol the convention due to the fact that ninety-five percent o f the dele­ gates to the Chicago convention are now on the federal pay roll in. some capacity. These delegates o f course are not Democrats but New Dealers who take orders from the Communist leaders who are iii control o f various government departments. The issues before the voters of Ohio and the nation this fall on gov­ ernmental control, should superceed all local issues. In fact there should not be local'issues at such a time; as this. There is the proposed Bigelow pension plan following* an increase in old age pension to $40 a month, the limit set by the Federal goverment. There is the proposal to redistrict the state so that the cities can control every rural county in Ohio. There may be other issues but these two are enough to interest the people. I f both should win there would be no local control in government anyhow. The state through the city vote in the legislature could repeal every moral law on the statute books in-the state; could upset every liquor control law and could tax the rural counties to support the “ won’t workers” that have graduated from the New Deal relief, setup in the nation. Southern. Democrats smart most when mention is made o f Secretary Perkins, head o f the labor department, who does not use her family name. The Madame, is Communistic and has. always played to that element in labor unions. She was for confiscation of private property during the sitdown strikes in Detroit, Mich., when Frank Murphy was the Democratic governor. He performed his task so well in ig­ noring pleas o f citizens o f that state for. law and order -that Roosevelt named him head o f the justice de­ partment, the stepping stone to a seat now on the U S. Supreme Court, Mrs, Perkins protected Harry Bridges and hid 'behind an investigation conducted by a half-baked Communist professor from Harvard University, that Brid ges was not a Communist. Democrats from the south poured protests to the White House by the thousand but Franklin D., could not act, due to an Order delivered by one, Eleanor Roose­ velt, who backs Mrs. Perkins on any­ thing she wants. Therer is just as much. Communism in the White Hous_* as there is in Earl Browder’s head­ quarters in Washington and New York. A writer to the New York Times in commenting on the “ Conversion” of Wendell Willkie to Republicanism has the following to say: “ The Democrats are making a great ado about the Republicans choosing a former Democrat fo r their standard- bearer in the coming election. This shows conclusively they either do not have Bibles or are not reading them. “ For the Bible tells o f the Prodigal Son, who*, having got tired o f feeding hogs, and eating hog feed, decided to return to the old homestead with its abundance o f good bread and juicy steaks. When he did so they put a ring on his finger and gave him the best suit o f clothes in the house and celebrated the event. “ There is more joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth than in the ninety and nine who need no repent- act for two years from Juno 30 and now permits cities to go through.bank­ ruptcy proceedings on certain o f their obligations By a mere nod o f his head, Gover­ nor John W. Brlcker could have had the nomination for Vice President at the Republican National Convention at Philadelphia. Hours before the final session .which was to. nominate a can* didate for Vice President, some 13 or 20 state delegations called personally upon Governor Bricker, urging him to accept the nomination, but to all such pleas, the Governor replied that he ■‘definitely and positively would not ac­ cept” because “ I have been honored with an unopposed renomination and have a contract with the people o f Ohio.” Governor Bricker was given quite an ovation when he appeared before the convention at the end o f the last ballot and placed the motion which declared the nomination ’ of Wendell Willkie for President to be unanimous was for U. S. consumption and brought into this country in competi­ tion with our local brands; King George has everything in the White House he could desire but the trouble is the King would have trouble hand­ ling Congress, which is gradually clipping the authority o f the Hyde -Park Squire, if control means any­ thing. t* Notice is hereby given that the budget fo r the Cedfirville Township Rural School District will be up fpr inspection and hearing a t the ritiee o f the board o f education, Cedarville High School, a t 8 P. M„ Monday, July I*, 1840 . . , A. E. Richards, Clerk I ( Recreational Activity For Young Folks ance. One o f the popular surveys taken last week over the nation on the ques­ tion as to how. Democrats and New Dealers stand on entering the Euro­ pean war, o f the Republicans queried only 9 per cent favor our entering the war while 19 percent o f the Democrats favored the war. Only'S percent said they Were undecided or without opin­ ions on-the question. This is one o f the reasons why James Farley has de­ clined to manage the New Deal-Demo­ cratic campaign this year. Now today, in these United States of America, we find the new kind of dictatorship undermining the religion of every faith in this country, Protestant, Catholic and Jew by naming an avowed atheist to head the youth group, To aid in poisoning the minds of our young people we have what is known as the Youth Movement such as has been in session in Wisconsin the past week, an organization sponsored by the leaders of Com­ munism in this nation. Communism is not a political issue for not only does it deny the existance of the Diety but it advocates the confiscation of all property, real and personal of any form, from all classes for the use of the government which in fact is the dictator and those around him in official positions, If Greene county wants to strike a blow at the. greatest enemy a civilized nation ever faced it will have the chance next November and likewise with the state and entire nation. If you want your son and daughter of tender years in a camp where virtue is of little importance you will have the opportu­ nity of registering by a protest vote, the only means you have for protecting your own flesh and blood. If you want your son hearing arms on foreign soil or not, your only opportunity for expression will be at the ballot box next November. The issue at the coming election will not be the tariff, pro­ hibition, trade agreements or local issues. It will be whether the people of this country want to maintain that right won by their forefathers to remain free* and equal and to worship as conscience dictates. You can have neither of these under dic­ tatorship or Communistic control., JOSEPH MARTIN HEADS REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN It was good news when the Republican nominee for presi­ dent, Wendell Willkie, announced this \yeek' he had chosen Joseph Martin, Republican congressman and House leader, as Chairman of the Republican National Committee and manager of the campaign this fall. The announcement had the approval o f Charles McNary, the Vice Presidential nominee. It was freely admitted in the last national campaign that Republicans might have approached victory nearer had there Been a different brand o f leadership and management of tlie campaign, Mr, Willkie, A successful businessman, knows per- Wc had some sport teasing our Southern friends enroute home about the easy money Texas a'nd Oklahoma, along with other southern states, had received through the Agricultural De­ partment in cooperation with S?c Wallace and President O’Neil, of the American Farm Bureau Federation We learned the percentage was high among the appointees that had not been a personal success in either farming or business. In fact there were few farmers making a success that could get a look-in at one o f the hundreds o f $5,000 yearly jobs hand­ ed out in the south. We were inform ed all will be at the Chicago conven­ tion to either vote for Roosevelt or campaign for him and <all travel ^to Chicago on "assignment” so they can get o a f fare and hotel bills paid by the New Deal. In other words Mr. Roosevelt will take his "fans” with him at government expense to do the shouting, “ We Want Roosevelt” . Republicans as a rule do hot back the New Deal plan to call for enlist­ ment all the males from 18 to 65 for Roosevelt’s war in behalf o f England, who refused to pay the World War money borrowed from this nation. There is not much difference in the mental makeup o f a decent family, ............. ................................. ... Republican or Democratic, where there’when the total reached $408,000,000. A brief history o f taxation in Ohio, compiled by the tax research division o f the State Tax Commission, tells an interesting*story o f the increase, in state taxation from $26,000 a year, when Ohio became a state in 1803, to the staggering total -o f $408,000,000 in state and local taxes in 1930. SJhce then, they have gone down some. Ohio was collecting taxes even before it became a state, history shows. As a territory, it-had what was known as a property tax aiid it also collected license fees from tavern keepers, fer­ ry boatiuen, peddlers, storekeepers and auctioneers. The basis for general property taxation in Ohio wbb laid by the General Assembly in 1825, when real and personal property be­ came subject to taxation on a basis o f its value and tax of one hd one half mills a dollar evaluation was levied. In 1831, Ohio made an attempt to collect taxes on intangible personal property. All money and interest Was subjected to taxation and deductions were allowed for debts. An occupa­ tional tax was also tried, doctors and' lawyers were taxed at various rates from $5 to $50. This levy continued until 18i>l. The uniform rule o f taxa­ tion—that all property should be tax­ ed at the same rate—became Ohio law in 1846 and this law remained until the classified amendment to the constitutionw a s adopted in 1931. First excise taxes upon the gross receipts o f public utilities were levied in 1894 and about the same time, Ohio was the first state to levy a graduated in­ heritance tax—both o f these levies are still effective. The state’s population increased from 50,1100 to 4,000,000 from 1803 to 1900 and taxes went up from $26,000 to $47,000,000. But the ast 40 years—when the population ms increased from 4,000,000 to 7,- 000,000—has seen an increase in an­ nual taxes from $47,000,000 to $385/ 000,000. The high mark was in 1930 sonality when he seeta it. He also knows the. difference be­ tween public sentiment and propaganda. The people of this nation owe much to the leadership in Congress of Mr. Martin. Time after time he has forced his political opponents to weaken and come his way by clear argu­ ment even4when pressure from the White House was felt by the majority, membership. Our first acquaintance with the hew campaign manager was last March in Washington. We had a second opportunity of measuring his worth by the man­ ner in which the Republican National Convention was conduct­ ed. It was one of the few conventions in the history of the party the permanent chairman's decisins were not questioned. One of the first to congratulate Mr. Martin following the nomi­ nation for his manner in conducting the convention was Candi­ date Willkie and now he places a greater responsibility on the Martin shoulders by making him manager of the coining cam- paign. Candidate Willkie is to be congratulated and we know Republicans everywhere will rally to give Mr. Martin deserved support this fall. m For the first time in the Ohio State Fair’s history, exhibitors in -a ll de­ partments a re ' this year required to have their exhibits in place by 8 A. M. on opening day o f the Fair, Saturday, August 24. The opening day will be i observed as Rural School Day. All school children in Ohio have been pro­ vided with one admision ticket and hundreds o f school busses will bring them~to the fairgrounds from all over the state. Monday, August 26, will be observed as Ladies and Children’s Day when all women and children ^under 16 years o f age will be admitted free. Another innovation this year will be the opening o f a 100 acre tract of land adjoining the fair grounds for free,. parking o f automobiles. Traffic regulation, policing o f the Fairgrounds and the new free-parking field on 17th Avenue, will be in' sole charge o f the State Highway Patrol. Ohio Farm Bureau Co-operative Associations have been so successful the past year as to attract national attention and now the federal Secre­ tary o f Agriculture, Henry A. Wallace has given out that he is backing a move to bring all such organizations “ Under the government wing” : There are more than 10,000 farmer-coopera­ tives in. the nation and last year these organizations handled products valued at approximately $2,000,000,000. A local lady ■says no “ soft soap” . Two ladies were arranging for a trip out o f town and one called the other to know just the hour to start when the second replied, “ I have not had my bath* yet” ^ The. first remarked, “ Of course you use Mrs. Roosevelt’s soap” . “Not much, I stopped Using soft soap a long time ago” , was the reply. Orton Pool in John Bryan State Park is at present the scene o f much recreational activity fo r the younger members o f the community.
