He has renewed the, same promise for his second term, * At present there is a movement of mayors mid city man­ agers in the cities of the state to urge a greater division of sales tax, mo tor vehicle or other taxes with municipalities to meet increased costs of operation. ,A drive is to be made on the legislature by municipal officials to get the Jfe^w changed. These same officials take issue with the Governor in .stat­ ing that"Ohio must pay its debts, especially the school debt left by Martin L. Davey, The state must pay banks interest on several million 4°Hars that was borrowed and the Governor insists a large part of this debt must be paid to stop interest charged- . • ■* ’ *♦. It is unfortunate that municipal officials would even ask a public official, to disregard his campaign pledge, The Gov­ ernor has promised when the time comes al) will gather around the table and discuss the situation but he makes it plain - , no new taxes. . Most of the Ohio cities are in desperate, financial condition hut it is no fault of the state of Ohio. Most every city, except Cincinnati, has lived beyond its income. Much money has been wasted on poor relief. More on work relief such as tearing up good sidewalks in order that more labor would be employed to put down new walks, the government paying labor, the city and property owner, paying for material. Ohio should not be asked to pay for the folly of municipal spending in the state*' Cities should be compelled to live within ‘ their ,income eyen at the expense of sacrifice on certain ques­ tionable services. •. • . - ' . . . Congressman Clarence J. Brown points out that there is a real difference between the American Defense Program ant the President’s lend-lease legislation. Congress, he says, is practically unanimous, an support of a strong national de fense for the United States, but the “ lease-lend” measure is not in reality a defense measure. “ Instead,” he says, “ it is designed to confer unheard of power in the hands of one man- the President.” ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO It was this day, (Sunday, Jan. 26), 100 years ago that Cincinnati had one of the greatest celebrations in its history risvnrvt*n1 W i‘ 1i*dni TTow icAn Taffr nn h is w a v i f the Atlantic oeMft to hold bade the enemy. Dablin ______________ Important! If any citizen happens hy chance to see ‘'open gambling” go­ ng on in Greene County it Is his duty, according to Probate Judge Henrie, to report same to the officials. One local citizen in commenting oh the re­ cent speech, by the Judge said that statement took him bick twenty years ago whenever prohibition law enforce­ ment was brought "up. The new angle Judge Henrie put on his statement was not gambling but ‘open gambling’ as he expressed it. That could mean i f you saw four men sitting on the post office steps or the steps o f the court house playing poker or ‘‘shoot­ ing dice”, that would he open gambling liiit whoever saw a gambling game conducted in what must be termed •‘open space” , 'The Judge did a good job o f eliminating the behind-the-door gambling places In the county. He al­ so took refuge in the statement that •‘law enforcement agencies in the county” reported “no gambling," How different from a year ago- when JUdg. Henrie and his Democratic supporters were campaigning for a candidate for prosecuting atterrfey on the plea that “ gamblers were running the epunty” . Then as now we had a Republican Prosecutor and then we had a Demo­ cratic sheriff but the judge was not making public speeches a year ago on gambling. He finds delight today with a Republican Prosecutor anfi a Repub­ lican Sheriff, the latter being in office less than a month, of talking about “ open gambling whatever that means. • We read In e Chicago paper o f the millions o f yards o f woolens the gov­ ernment has ordered fo r army and navy uniforms, We turn next' to the wool market to see what it was doing and strange to say the price had dropped on American wools. Importa­ tions o f South American wools under the Roosevelt-Hull free trade treaty for good neighbor policy showed the foreign wool was being made into yardage for army and navy uniforms. In the meantime clothing dealers are having a hard time trying to get de- liveries on spring merchandise due tc factories being turned over for gov. eminent use. The Ohio wool growei sees his wool lag in n home market while his government purchases foreign wool. General iliam Henry Harrison reft Cincinnati on his ay to Washington to assume the Presidency. He drove the day before from his home in North Bend to the city and stopped at the Henrie House, on Third Street between Main, and Sycamore. It was the town’s newest hotel, There was such a crowd waiting to welcome the President- Elect that he was unable for half an hour to get into the hotel. That night the crowd surged up and down Third Street in a wild enthusiasm and made so much noise the General couldn’t, sleep. . . ’ The next day at 10- o’clock he was scheduled to leave on the steamer Ben Franklin. The people had provided an open carriage With two beautiful horse's led by grooms. But the General thought that-too pompous. He decided to walk. And walk he did—at the head of_a^pmeessionjof uniformed militia and pretty much every other organization in the city. His, Negro body-servant walked behind the General, carrying an arntfuTTof eanes* It was the habit of the time to present Presidents with walking sticks, and when the Ben Franklin was reached the poor man staggered under the load of them. There were two cannon on the deck of the Franklin. These boomed a welcome; Once on board, the General stood on the after deck and, removing, his gray beaver, made a speech of farewell— alas, it was a farewell forever to the city he loved. — Enquirer One of the troublesome question? put to New Dealers about Roosevelt's recent lifting o f the embargo on war supplies ,to Russia right at a time when we Were asked to prepare for war to ,save Democracy is; “When di$ Russia become a Democracy or 'iSben has Stalin reformed?” Who knows but what Russia will buy our war materials and then turn them ov­ er _.to. Germany:?. The Russia incident has, proven a problem for the pro English supporters to explain. - D r in k in g f o u n t a in s in c o u r t h o u s e It is to be hoped the Greene County Commissioners will take notice and act as quickly as possible on the recommenda­ tions made by the last Grand Jury to install drinking fountains in the court house. - In the meantime it was suggested- that paper cups be used in the various offices to eliminate the “ tin drinking cup” that not only hag been outlawed^yfears ago but should be,abolished as a step to better health safeguards. A similar recommendation was made for the. county jail. The idea of a dozen or more prisoners drinking from a tin cup day after day, after hearing certain evidence against one of the prisoners confined at the time of inspection was more than the jury could stand. No juryman would want a dog to drink from a cup folldwing'use by that one prisoner alone. We know the demand for funds by the commissioners fo r various pur­ poses is great but there is no reason why the county govern­ ment cannot observe both state and good health -laws. We have faith that the present Commissioners will in due time follow the recommendation of the last grand jury. 'William C. Bullitt, former Ambas sndor to Russia and later to France', named to the first post as an admitted Communist, appeared before the House Committee as favoring the lease-lend bill even favoring war ac wording to a* former report. Bqllitt did not stay long in Russia for he was forced to live like Russians and lay­ away" htfTstuffed shirt. Ho returned hvtno and later was sent to France. Everyone is entitled to his own op­ inion as to where to place truth and veracity in the ,lease-lend bill contro­ versy. If you believe reports from the." White House there is no opposition to the lease-lend bill for all the mail is supporting the measure. That might be true but after the experience on re­ ports following the reorganization bill last year when the White House was Hooded with protests, and reported no opposition, one must question the truth o f reaction this year. Greene countlan who once was. rated one o f the foremost and most success­ ful farmers and especially one famous for his success in fruit growing, Hav­ ing accumulated a small fortune by hard and diligent personal effort this farmer fell under the spell o f a “ blue- sky Shylock." It is said investment was made in what proved to he ques­ tionable values o f certain blue-sky stocks to the tune o f $40,000. Shortly afterwards this outstanding farmer, who apparently had enjoyed the best of health, suffered a nervous break­ down that developed into a mental dis­ order, For years he has been an in­ valid, and unable to transact his own affairs. Geiger-Jones! Where.has the public heard that name before! At? a recent meeting o f -national leaders o f the Lutheran Church “in ‘ Sen. Robert A. Taft and Sen. Harold Burton each reported their mail is about forty to one against the Roose­ velt dictator bill. Sen. Taft says his direct personal letter mail is about 3,000 a week. We get information that Ohio congressmen each report about the same ratio. One Democratic’ con­ gressman whose name we cannot use for confidential reasons, says the let­ ters from mothers of draftees is al­ most unanimous against the Roosevelt measure, yet this Congressman says he must vote with Roosevelt or be denied his share o f patronage. Congressman-at-large Stephen M. Young, Cleveland Bern., has an easy way o f facing.vthe controversy over the lease-lend bill. He writes and tells all objectors he was elected to back Roosevelt on everything and this he proposes to do right or "wrong. This is what' is termed an ideal rubber- stamp congressman. And you can pur­ chase rubber stamps in a ten cent store for a thin dime—and sales tax.

Thousands of, Ohio citizens always wear a carnation on McKin­ ley’s birthday. , The Lutherans like leaders in other denominations realize that draftees of church congregations are thrown in company with all classes' o f people from all walks o f life. It Is also realized that wherever there $s a gov­ ernment camp, all sorts o f question­ able places open up where rice thrives usually unmolested, though not on land under control o f "the war depart­ ment.

Do they travel for business, pleasure, or just to get away from the office?” How soon will we be told that the Declaration of Inde­ pendence belongs to the horse and buggy days? It hasn’t been so many months, since we were told that about the United States constitution.. , The Akron Beacon Journal pictures Americanism thus: “ Colorado people votirfg 3 to 1 in favor of a pension; voting 100 to 1 against a tax to pay for it,” Col. Charles Lindberg has not yet been answered following his views before the House committee on hearings of the Roose­ velt “ Give England everything” bill. The war mongers have been stumped. Sen. Brooks, 111.; before the American Forum asked a dozen times s“ What is it we can do under this give­ away bill that we cannot do now without establishing a dic­ tatorship here to fight dictatorship in Europe?” When a New Dealer asked in connection with the war bill what business Was it pf preachers, teachers, farmers and doc­ tors, what was in the “ lend-lease” bill ? What do they know about government, business or conditions in Europe? Sen. -Robert A. Taft in a radio ad dress before the New York Bar As­ sociation, Saturday night, made one of the best speeches oh the lease-lend bill that we have heard so far. His voice was smooth and clea r, and distinct. The Senator asked the im­ portant question as to what we could do for England we have not done. He favors outright gifts or loans if neces­ sary to England, but cannot see what England can do with our navy, air­ planes or war equipment as she has not been able to man boats*Roosevelt “sent over, not even airplanes. He says limiting time unde >■tlie bill will mean nothing for the damage could be done within: a month or a week after passage and then we would find a new emergency that calls for our soldiers.

If ope is looking for freaks just check up on the kind o f bills that are offered in most any state legislature and Ohio is no different from other states. Now a New Deal Senator from Cleveland wants a bill passed that will require every owner o f a camera to take out a state license. Just where the amateur and profes­ sional lines are drawn the bill is not plain. In as much as 'it provides for a state board o f five members. Li­ censes will cost ■$12 a year and $25 to take the examination, like the barber license bill, all the fees go as salaries to support the board and clerical help. Newspaper photographer would be exempt. To tic the hands o f Cfov. Bricker the bill would require him to. name the state board from a list of the state association members. And we call this a free nation. We would guess, the bill has little chance o f /passing.. The fact that it comes from-Clevcland should guarantee its defeat in the legislature.
