Friday, February 7, 1941 HMWWWt CORN FARMERS CAN PROFIT FROM TOBACCO FARMERS If the com farmers in this section think they are free to ’ act and do as they please in regard, to what and how much of a certain crop can be planted, just tear a sheet from the history book of the tobacco farmers and the plight tobacco farmers are in at present. Thousands of tobacco farmers can­ not sell their crop at anything lige a price that compensates them for the labor involved nor anything like the price in former years. ~ Tobacco farmers voted for the Communistic crop control law, that is they were told a majority voted for crop control. This law puts every tobacco farmer under government' control once farmers vote, for it. Moreover tobacco farmers can plant other crops that come in competition with farm crops in other secti as of the country. Down south the cotton farmers are paid to reduce crop acreage and then they plant- corn and ’ other crops. In the corn belt the government pays farmers for not planting corn. The same is true of wheat yet the "good neighbor policy' of Roosevelt and-Hull permits importation of so much wheat each month from Russia. The American cattle feeder also faces more of this kindly, jesture policy in admitting Argentine beef freeof tariff duty that would protect American feeders, , . • Elmer F. Kruse, chairman of the Ohio branch of the Rus­ sianized Agriculture Committee, whose salary is several times the profit of any two hundred acre farm in the state, plainly stated to the Ohio Farmers’’ Week crowd at the O, S. U. last week, that the United States may vote in August on the market­ ing of corn and wheat. Mr. Kruse, after hinting what the next plan would be pulled out the Communistic Club for exhibit that unless farmers vote to tie their own hands and those of their neighbors, there5' will be no more “ corn or wheat loans” in 1941, whatever that means. Farmers should check the ex­ perience of tobacco growers before placing their farm land under dictatorial control of a lot of Communistic nondescripts down in Washington, that are living as despots at the expense of the American farmer. If you do not do your own thinking, at least keep in mind the “ fellow thattrred to beat the old shell game.” . MAYOR FESS LEJTS WATER IN ON PROBATE JUDGE „ If ever an officeholder in Greene coupty stepped from one puddle into another’time after time, such has been the fate of Probate Judge Homer Henrie. Having put on a sham “ gambling talk” recently before •a religious group, without even stating his personal opinion or what he would do in an official capacity or what he would recommend to his hearers, .the Judg e is now between those_whafollow the game and those Who looked to the Judge for a method of cleaning up the county. • v . t To dodge the issue Judge SHenrie left the gambling infant at the.doors of public officials in each community, or the public if anyone knew about %pen gambling” . To close hi stalk the Judge tated law enforcement agencies had informed him there was no. “ open gambling” in the county. • Now comes Mayor Lowell Fess who states, he will resign rather than-stand for abuseover the amount of gambling go­ ing on in his village. This admission blackened the picture painted by Judge Henrie before the’ religious group and.won- . derment now exists on'just.what motives the jurist had as the originator of the gambling“issue in the county and the- first to stick his head in the sand until the storm blows over. The public for some time has been wondering just who has been paying j for the radio broadcasting to sell Eng- ? land's war to the people o f the United i display their patriotism and do more shouting today. The real test is not far away and. that will be the day Solicitors call for subscriptions to the Roosevelt war bond issue to pay for England’s war and par own defense. The list of subscribers and the amount will make Interesting reading. Dayton is tied up with a strike of teamsters, which of course nowadays, , , is largely truck-drivers. There can States. There have been so far twen- , no deliveries"o f merchandise for ty-five speeches over the air favoring j THE NATION MUST BACK HENRY FORD Henry Ford has thrown down a government contract for war trucks, more than 10,000, all because the Under Secretary of War, Robert P. Patterson, one of the war mongers, put a clause in the. contract at the request of Sidney Hillman,. Com munist labor leader and stooge-'for Roosevelt, demanded that Ford permit labqr leaders to operate, manage, hire and fire at the Detroit plants. Ford was lowest bidder by $250,000 but the Roosevelt spenders had no consideration for the dollars that belong to the people and-gave the contract, to another com­ pany at the highest price. ^ Henry Ford deserves the open support of every American that believes ip the brand of democracy of Washington and Jefferson, Lincoln and McKinley. ' He is to be commended, for by his stand he is giving others in less minor positions courage to stand for their rights under the constitution, which at the present has little or no place in.the makeup of the New Deal government. If business i sforced to swallow, the plan that Ford rejected a sorry time is ahead for manufacturer and farmehs as well. Once business is unionized Roosevelt will turn his union blood hounds on the American fanner. Both Lewis and Green have complained .about farm labor 'conditions and the necessity of organizing farm labor and plac­ ing it under the wage and hour law as well as other social security laws. It might be a godd thing if the labor leaders could drive their bargain today. There are a lot of farmers that need education on how to manage their own business. With union labor in control they will be in position to learn to take orders without a whimper—or else face a strike. the nation-eg^ering the war in some form or another to one speech oppos­ ing. It has been reported for weeks that England had a propaganda fund c f -several-million dollars t o . sell the war to this country. If that is so the radio broadcasting stations have be­ come rich. But doe's anyone suppose the Democratic and New Deal poli­ ticians have let any of the million or so get beyond their clutch during the. golden harvest? AH the war mongers are much con­ cerned about England. No one has a word o f sympathy in that group for the millions of people that fell victim to Hitler's army all because England urged the war on ’ them, promised them aid in a thousand ways and then laid down. France fell for the same reason. Little Finland fell before the Russian Communists after- a gallant Fight, all on a promise of support from England. The. war 'mongers now praise Russia and try to tickle Stalin’s beard thinking this country will make a friend out of the Russians. Back door Russia is selling?- Germany American made goods. . Last Thursday night- the New York Town Hall debate was between Sec. Ickes (^ants in' his pants Ickes, ps. Hugh Johnson says), and former Gov­ ernor Phillip LaFollette. As a high pressure real estate salesman Ickes holds the record. All he could say he was for the. lease-lend bill and war if Tecessary,'keeping in mind unpredict­ ed events o f the future the old ■Roose­ velt excuse. LaFollette is for defend­ ing both the Americas against what is uire to come who ever wins the war, European attempt to control South Ameridan trade. Se'c. Ickes stated a,' 3re-war agreement between business m England,'Germany, and other Euro- oean natjons, that no matter who won .he war, South American business lust be kept from the.United States. B A IL ! HOG MARKET Wo conduct a hog market daily in addition to our regular Live Stock Sales EVERY MONDAY. ' This brings us up to the same in- 'ormation this column carried some .-eeks ago that the war was economic etween England and Germany. At hat time we.stated England had been underselling American manufacturers m South America due to the low wage scale iiii Britain. Germany played the last card, the barter system, which stripped England of the business and England began to line up small Euro­ pean nations fo r the war based on promises o f support. .This angered ■Germany and the war was on, neither England or Germany formally declar­ ing war. We reported the experience of an Ohio concern that lost South American business to England. Everyone is entitled to his own views as to.what the New. Dealers will do as to war. Everyone from Roosevelt down has been asked what we can do under the give-away bill that we are not doing now. The war mongers stop there—no answer. Roosevelt cam- paign promises on war before the election entitle him to a blue ribbon in Lowell Thomas’ “Tall Story Club” . Sen. Arthur VandenWg, R., Mich., took advantage o f Henry L. Stimson, Secretary o f War, turncoat Republi­ can to New Dealer to ‘get something he could not get from Ijis own party, and asked him what was his purpose of ordering 4,600,000 tags to be used to identify the men killed or wounded in battle. The Senator thought it un­ usual to at least order four and a half million death tags for an army in training that was not to be sent across the ditch to aid England. Stimson had to admit that he was not familiar with the contract. Even a Democrat senator, Byrnes, S, Carolina, thought the contract was unusual , He thought n few might be needed in army train­ ing. Parents^ o f hoys in camp might send congratulations to Stimson for his thoughtfulness in having supplies to tag the "dead soldiers,” who are not to enter the European war. It is surprising that Gen. Robert E. Wood, president of Sears & Roebuck, j has forsaken his old associate, Frank- j lin D„ due to the administration atti- t tude towards England. Woods has J served on various New Deal commis­ sions and his company sold the first lumber for the building of New Deal ghost town? even in • states that had plenty of pine timber. Wood says: “ If wo attempt to underwrite a British victory, it means .active entry nto the war, a long, exhausting, and suicidal world conflict.” Wood has been associated long enough with loosevelt and probably ty\s good rea­ son to believe that he has1n6 intention of keeping his promise, lie also knows that Woodrow^Wilson had to tic the Roosevelt hands and seal his ips during the World Wnr. Roosevelt aspires to be commander of the armies of the world. Each week we watch for the rush. Of Greene county Demo? crats and New Dealers marching their sons up to draft stations as volunteers in King Franklin's coming war. A Roosevelt vote last November was a vote for WAR and Democrats should factories or stores only where the management has signed a contract with the union. Milk is being deliver­ ed as one o f the necessities. We were in the office of a wholesale company a few years ago in Cincinnati during, such a strike as Dayton now has. The manager did not seem to be disturbed about the outcome when we asked his views. His reply was, “ I am only wait­ ing for the union to -pfesent its con­ tract which I will sign at once. The increased cost q £ deliverer is just one of those things you can always get your money back by increasing the price o f the merchandise. I have noti- fied all salesmen to increase catalogue prices two per cent.” •As this com­ pany manufactured an article used on every farm and many homes in town, and is now retailed here as elsewhere, thd consumer after -all has paid the bill. When farmers wake up to the fact they have no opportunity o f pass­ ing. extra ' costs on when they . sell grain or live stock, there may be a different story until then the farmer and rural consumer pays the bill. Now that the wage and hoiir bill, New Deal pet measure, is a fixture, you as a consumer are also going to pay for .the days a union factory worker does not work, known as unemployed in­ surance. The manufacturer of the milk bucket will add that to the cost of the bucket and the consumer need not shop around for every company in the manufacturing business will add this cost to his merchandise. an effort to do away with two such outfits, abolish the barber and cos- irietology hoards, He makes a serious charge that the barber board is only / ■ft-club used to force barbers to join the union; that it prohibits Advertis­ ing o f prices and is operated for poli­ tics. As for the board regulating the “lady barbers” beauty shops, he claims it is a means o f cooperation to fo r c e ' higher prices on customers, Heads o f both departments claim that the pperation of these boards does not cost the taxpayers anything and each' tries to show just how much money is paid into the state’ treasury but neither show how much has been spent by, each board. Radcliff says Mr. and Mrs. John- Q. Public when .TlirOe years ago when we were In Jacksonville, Fla., In March, we step­ ped around the, coffer from the Jack- son Hotel when we took a view of the new Roosevelt Hotel, and RFC insti­ tution. In- that one block we counted eight government automobiles, all from the agricultural department. 'Of course these Democrats were on gov­ ernment business “hunting bugs that destroy crops.” Four of the ag salary eaters that entered one auto’ in our presence had been thoroughly inocu­ lated against insect bites. A colored- chauffeur was at the wheel, otherwise the party could not have gotten around the square. they enter these places are the ones' that are stuck for what he terms un­ usual fixed pricey. Both boards claim ‘hey have performed^ “great public -ervice:” ' About a year or so ago a Greene county barber wanted the ap­ pointment as secretary o f the barber- board,, which he did not get. At that time he stated, to the writer “ the job is the biggest’ piece o f graft about the state hoqge, and I might just as well cut in on it a s . not” . A Cleveland union barber topk the prize. , There may have been a better rea­ son why Elliott Roosevelt was given a bomb-proof job at Wright Field than merely escaping military duty. At that time, you will recall, the . New Dealers pictured him as making-a-sac- rifice in taking the job ns he was drawing $40,000 or some other fan­ tastic figure, salary a year. Now it developes that the company he was supposed to head as president was •‘bust” and is now being liquidated in U. S. Courts. Elliott filed a claim last week for $70,000 as a holder of 4,000 ihai o f Class A stock. It would he nteresting to the public to know, on what terms he acquired this stock. An Iowa farmer visitinj^jKenia made the statement some time “'ago while discussing politics that the farmers of the country "should get down on their knees and thank God that Roosevelt was president rather than Henry Wal­ lace.” He says “the government is holding millions of bushels of-old corn in. stora'ge, much of it molded or damaged'so far as feeding value is concerned. He claims some cribs bave as much as three and four feet- of moulded corn or corn damaged by rate, This corn is worthless other than the fact it is used to hold down the price of corn grown this past year. He says whenever there is prospect of any great change in the market price up­ ward the government announces it will release several milion bushels o f stor­ ed corn and down goes the market price. He says wheat is uped for the same purpose and the government an­ nounced some days ago the sale o f several million bushels of “ security wheat” and down went the price of wheat. The millers filled their bins with the cheap wheat. When-the New Deal promised organized labor ho in­ crease in living prices under the war, no promise was made the farmer, not even a fair return for his labor, There is ope representative in the Ohio legislature, William D, Radcliff, a Republican from CircieviUe, O., that may face the high platform and the loose looped rope if the New Dealers have their way* He says the govern­ ment is overloaded with boards and commissions and he is going to make We read with interest a few days ago an “ AP” dispatch stating the gov­ ernment accounting office reported that 700 New Deal Democrats had made trips for some reason or another, at government expense down in Flori­ da. All these trips were made between November 1039 and March 1940. E. W. Bell, Audit Chief, is the authority for the statement. Certainly, why .should a Democrat. want to go to Florida in July that Is the month he is due in northern Michigan or Maine ?

Representative John Hayden, Rep., "Clermont county,-offers -a bilHn-^the- Oiiio legislature to protect farm own­ ers from embezzlement of Crops on. the part o f crooked tenants. If the crop, stock or other farm crop taken is valued at $35, the tenant can face a charge of embezzlement. Hayden says Ohio farmers lost about a million h year in this manner and at present have little protection. Rep. Newton B.

The Hayden, bill is- not to be taken1as a general indictment o f all tenants but the records in court cases show the loss to he more than a million a year-16 Ohio farm owners.) ■ PalitihianB, Republicans and Demo­ crats, have been having a glorious •time the past week over a sworn statement appearing in an out-of-tbe- county paper wh i ch s e em s to exonorate a local attorney, of the gray hair vintage, about something the pub­ lic would like to know more. The statement was sworn to by a beer baron who operates the “Hole in the- Wall”. South Detroit st. The feature Xenia lawyers chuckle about is that the affidavit is made voluntary with-_ out compensation. The Democrats get delight in discussing the affidavit and wonder just what would happen if some one would make an affidavit as to the lawyer; that solicited a “ cam­ paign contribution o f three figures from the slot-machine interests last October. The lawyer, was not repre­ senting either of the political party campaign managers. Out merely to get a bowl of “ gravy” . Gen. Hugh Johnson, who spoke be­ fore the Ohio Lumber Dealers in Co­ lumbus, last week, on the war out- lpok said: ‘ji f you want to get in the war tomorrow, convoy ships to Britain. The way It looks now Eng­ land can’t win without four or five million American soldiers or a revolu­ tion on the continent—and there's no sign of a revolution. The lend-lease bill is an abomination.” A task without a vision is Prud­ ery; A vision without a task is a Dream; A task with a, vision is Victory. — Anon. The fight over the lend-lease bill in Washington has caused almost a per­ sonal encounter- between Roosevelt and Sen. Wheeler, D. Charges and counter charges have been made' be­ tween the two. In capital halls some' of the most startling remarks ever known • are being repeated. Such re­ marks .as “ Hitler’s Agent” ; “ Fifth Avenue Trash” ,rl‘Lie and Liar-” ; “ Fish a term being applied by New Dealers against a former Roosevelt supporter 'who' opposed Roosevelt promises to England; “ Charges that money had been offered to implicate a Senator on a statement concerning Hitler and Germany.” The Roosevelt- L-ord Halifax forces are leaving noth­ ing, undone to force passage o f the lcase-lend bill.
