Jtatered » t the Poet Office, CwUrvUIe, Ohio, October 31,1337, ** second «!*** matter. Friday, September 20, 1040 MR. DAVEY AND HD5 DEMAGOG T^e Democratic state convention is now a matter of history with former Governor Martin L, Davey having things his own way. The old faction fight between the Governor’s forces and National Committeeman Charles Sawyer was dormant during the pow-wow. That it still exists there is no question for Mr, Sawyer eays he will open headquarters for directing the na­ tional earaq ign alone thus leaving Mr. Davey to fight his own campaign* Mr. Davey Jeweled some sharp shots against the Bricker administration about the roads, management of the state liquor department and the schools but the administration in power now is able to answer Mr. Davey on all these issues and then discuss the accomplishments the past two years, most of which the public knows as much about as-does Mr, Davey. To have a new issue Mr. Davey suggested, and the con- . vention accepted his idea, of repeal of all sales taxes. This sounds good and is something to talk about in a campaign. Just what he would do to replace the lost revenue he makes no suggestion and vje ace not quite sure he could even prevail on a Democratic legislature to carry out even a convention pledge . A prominent Democrat stated Monday, in Columbus . to the writer th a t the seAtiment in Democratic circles last Fri­ day and Saturday was to ask repeal of the tax limitation on real estate and increase land values and make the sky the limit on tax rates on the theory th a t those best able to support the state government would pay the bill. During the Davey administration there was set up a school foundation based on the sales tax. Relief gets a share of this tax. Where would these two divisions get revenue with repeal of the sales tax? Repeal the sales fax and every school in the state will be closed in thirty to sixty days for lack of revenue. Even, though land and home owners would pay. more in taxes, what about the fellow who rents, would he not be called upon to pay a much higher rent? The answer is in the affirmative. Even though those on relief and receiving old -age pensions might own homes, they probably would pay the difference re­ ceived in taxes. As for the liquor stores it must be admitted the state has received more ^revenue under Governor Bricker’s administra- „ tion for old age pensions than was possible under the Davey administration. Then it must be kept in mind the federal law on old age pensions is based on “need”, not a mandatory provision for payment of that sum. Ohio would have to make- , up the difference. Mr. Davey. has mentioned conduct of the State Banking Department under the present administration. Now we learn that during the Davey administration, Mr. Davey has not paid the $100,000 he is supposed to have borrowed from two Ohio banks now in liquidation. The Bricker administration says Mr. Davey has offei*ed to pay only 30 cents 6 n the dollar on his debt and wants a receipt in full. This is something Mr. Davey has not .discussed as yet in public. What do you suppose the hundreds of depositors in these two banks are thinking about when a former governor and now a candidate again only offers, to pay a stingy 30c on the dollar to square his debt? Of course the Bricker administration rightly turned down the offer. We recall during the Davey administration there was" dis­ cussion as to repeal of the sales tax. In those days it was work- . mg well for the Davey administration and he did not want to lbse the revenue. We also recall tha t the then Governor Davey issued a public statement reflecting on anyone who would ad­ vocate repeal Of the sales tax and we reprint what he said then for the benefit of those who may have forgotten it: "Gnce in a while a demagog raises up and demands repeal of the sales‘tax and offers nothing in its place. There is no way to explain the mind of a demagog except th a t he is for' anything or against anything that will get him some votes.” In view of the action of the Democratic convention onare­ peal of the.sales tax a t Mr. Davey’s demand, we wonder just" What he thinks of his former statement today and whether his definition of a damagog then could be the same today as applied to the one who urged repeal of the sales tax? OHIO DOES NOT FAVOR DRAFT LAW If we judge the expression of the big crowd th a t heard Cong. Dewey Short at the Republican Rally in Xenia last Fri­ day evening when he touched on the New Deal methods to get this country into the European war by the conscription route, we are near 100 per cent against the draft measure that has just become a law . If the crowd had been Democratic, hot New Deal, it would have been the same spontaneous burst of disapproval. New Dealers that have no sons, New Deal office holders, exempted under the new law, those who manufacture war materials, are all for conscription. , The fac t tha t both Ohio senators voted against the bill and tha t every Republican vote in the House was cast the same way, with a irbu t a few Democrats joining, is proof that senti­ ment is aghinst every step of the Roosevelt following tha t want to see this country at war with some other nation. The proposal of the volunteer methods did not suit the war lords or the White House either. This plan if followed w'ould fill all army ranks if the New Deal leaders would march their sons and relatives of draft age to the enlistment post. Such Would be proof tha t those who sponsor draft have taken the initiative. Cong. John M. Vorys, R., Columbus, who opposed the bill says he reserves the right to criticise a n y enforcement t h a t is not fair or in keeping with the spirit of the law. Here the Congressman strikes a t a vital spot. It will be fa ir because Franklin D. Roosevelt is the head and tail of the draft setiip and' any thing he proposes or does is always right—in his own estimation. ' The time will not be fa r away when your son will first sign On the dotted line and later your son will be called to service to fight somewhere probably Mexico or some nation in South America or the isles in the Atlantic oqean. The New Deal in going to roake'it comfortable fo r the thousands of gov­ ernment employees. A contract to run between 1260,000 and 1800,000 for for electric fan* was awarded last week to the Robbins A Myers Co., Springfield. The contract is not a part of the defense program: but will he necessary to keep the white-collar job holders comfortable. All the fans will be 12 and 16-in. variety. The taxpay­ er that foots the bill can keep cool the beat J» can. The Ohio National Guard' will be called out under Roosevelt’s1order on October 16th for a year’s training a t Camp Shelby, Mias. The Ohio guard numbers about 10,712 men with 818 officers. Under the latest draft law those 21 to 35 years of age must register an October 16th for military training. None of the conscripts will be called to camp until after election day, just as the New Deal planned it, Why should the. state provide ,a place on, the ballot for a list of Communist candidates for public of­ fice ? Communism is not regarded poli­ tical and is only theoretical. Cotn- Tiunism does not stand for preserva­ tion of our form of government but for its destruction. A Communist if elected or appointed to public office must take the oath,of office to support the constitution. If this is followed she Communist candidate then swears .o something his own group seeks to destroy. State petitions in most every munty in the state have been signed in maliy' cases illegally or names Gorged and such names are now being cemoved There is no place for Com­ munism in either the state or nation. Let them vote with the New Deal where they were found four years ago, Neither the Republicans' or old-line Democrats want them even election day. A Glamour Girl’s Fight Tor Love And Fame! The Columbus Dispatch carries a wircphoto of Roosevelt signing the :onscription law, surrounded by a lot f New Deal leaders. The picture ,hows Roosevelt ."Chuckling” along >rith the others Over the prospects if forcing Hitler’s method of conserip- ion on the boys in American homes ictween the ages of 21 and 35. The ioosevelt "Chuckle” will never cover >'he tears and heart-throbs of the Millions of mothers that will see their ons tom from their homes not in .he name of patriotic duty, but by force ahdrespect of a Hitlerised law. As Cong. Short stated in his .Xenia jpeech “Why set up a..Hitler in this country to fight another Hitler thou- ands of miles away?” We notice a list of fifty^Columbus .louples and five mom from neighbor­ ing towns that journeyed to Green­ up, Ky., Sunday to get married. Each day scores of couples are married in the* commercial marriage institutions to escape the coming draft. Every State in the nation finds the same sit­ uation It would have been cheaper for many of these husbands to sign tip for a government job and be exempt from draft. v The weakness of the Ohio law on referendum and initiative petitions' or petitions for any cause is that so ireqently ^irresponsible persons arc hired to solicit signatures, There should be more safeguards as proven by the thousands of illegal signatures on the Communist petitions filed with the Secretary of State, George Ncff- ncl*. There is just as much weakness on the part of the citizenship in not reading the" heading on all petitions before signing to see that you are not being deceived by statements made by the solicitor. The only safeguard as we see it is to require all petitions solicitors to give a good bond for faithful performance of duty and upon misrepresentation be subject to a heavy penalty. There is now provision for misrepresentation but with a bond required there -are many that make colicitation of names a business that could not give bond, A . peculiar situation comes to the surface in Jefferson Twp., Preble county, where a farmer refuses to build a line fence to separate his land from that of his neighbor across the state line in .Wayne county, Indiana, The Indiana farmer wants a fence. An appeal was made to Attorney General Thomas J.Jflerbert for an opinion. He admits the contention of a fence on the part of both land owners but there is no way for Township Trustees who have the power to erect disputed fence lines, to collect the cost from .a land owner who .is not a resident of this state. Neither can a resident of this state force collection for a fence in another adjoining state. patents *r# to* 0*7 it not like Aw draft pto» wfefeh. lx tk* m m m mmi h r *wry l&m tftm na­ tion mw fit war; Again th*** potent* cannot >*• any m l dangar Mid fool the situation la being manufactured to inflates the people for eonunsrclal profit t* the manufacturer* of war supplies.

It was rain every day while in camp and the hoys lacked dry bedding. There was much complaint of the quality and quantity of food. Many contracted.a condition which has been prevalent in all war camps'for years which greatly reduced their weight and cut their vitality, This situation has held many a young man from volunteer enlist­ ment. I t also has had something to lo with resignations from Guard mem­ bership in this county. —ASK FOR Schaefer’s Bread WHEN YOU WANT THE BEST * FES ALWAYS FRESH | | Qnce in a while you hear the state­ ment: "There was .a time when I thought Willkie was a winner but there is no question he' is slipping now”, The Republicans began to ran down these rumors and have traced it to Roosevelt press agents in Wash­ ington, D. C. Instruction was sent put government agents over the country to "pass the word along”. It is a part of New Deal campaign tricks. Cong, Clarence J. Brown has sent us a published list of government em­ ployees in the various departments that are listed in Communist-Front. League for Peace and Democracy as taken from the report of the Dies committee in Vol. 10, page 6404. There ire an estimated four to five hundred names on the list, with the salary of inch and the department employed, farmers will be interested in knowing the list under Henry A. Wallace, ag-, ^cultural department, is one of the longest with the top salary of $8,000 (o Ezekiel Mordecai. The poster with .he list is displayed in our window. I ♦REPORT OF SALE i .
