Friday, March 7,1941 Ham “T_ T FARMER BEING PLAYED FROM BOTH ENDS Just how any administration can accomplish the feat of providing one element of our society with high wages due to organised threats and a t the same time give assurance that the cost of living will not increase; In as much as flour, bread, meat, cotton'and woolen clothing come from farms of the nation in some form it appears the farmer is being played from both ends of the demands of those organized. There is no question the New Deal is pledged to back labor in most any demand .made. A pre-election campaign pledge Was given union labor leaders. Labor was to have a front seat on par with industry and this promise has been 'made good with Knudsen representing the former and Hill­ man, foreign born, the latter. One of the important topics a t the New York Town Hall meeting Monday evening was the control of prices of food products in view of the fact the New Deal was using; public . money to pay farmers to reduce production of farm crops. The whole nation has been given to believe, or a t least that, part known as organized labor, has been promised tha t farm labor must come under the present social security set-up. This is ■but the first step. It would he impossible for the New Deal to muster unorganized labor for this movement. Once organized i t would be tins organization tha t would in the end police the . farmer. .•. , The next step the farmer f^ces today, and it is not far away if advice from Washington is correct, is tha t all farm activity will be concentrated under one board with the farm element a t one seat and organized labor a t.the other just as we have it with Knudsen and Hillman. Roosevelt on. more thafi one occasion has publicly expressed himself that all labor must come under the. social security program. Do not be surprisejd if Congress does not take most of the farm program from the Agriculture Department and place it under an independent board. It is said that when this is done Roosevelt will have met the last demand "and made good his promise previous to the campaign last fall. , * DANIELS INITIATED BILL SHOULD BECOME LAW Sen. Albert Daniels of this district has introduced an im- . portant bill in the Upper House th a t should meet with speedy passage and soon become a law. All will recall the manner in which old,age pension petitions were peddled about last year and the many misrepresentations made to get signatures. Then Secretary of State George Neffner conducted an in­ vestigation tha t resulted in many hundred names being ordered removed as they were genuine forgeries. . One of the proposals in the new Daniels’ bill is that where there is a tax levy connected or expenditure of funds the state tax commissioner shall publicly declare just what the cost to taxpayers, would be if the proposal carried. Petition peddlers1 must under this bill be registered with the secretary of state and file statement of fee expected fpr. service. Also the state will have the petitions printed and numbered serially while heretofore individuals had their own petitions printed a t their expense after' the form had been approved as legal by' the Secretary of State and Attorney General. The bill if passed will cure a defect of the old law which "did not permit signers to withdraw their names. Now electors can withdraw names under the Daniels measure. The old law provided fo r supplimentary names if certain petitions were held illegal. Under this measure a ll names must be filed at one time. * ■ ....... - There is yet one amendment tha t might be added to this bill and that should be a surity bond of $500 for faithful per­ formance of duty for each petition pejddler. This would be no hardship on worthwhile movements and would be a check­ mate to the professional petition peddlers. GREECE DESERVES AMERICAN SUPPORT V Events abroad are shaping themselves in the war zone around Greece much like early plans around Poland and other small European nations. Then England- promised everything in the way of support and gave little. She turned tail and left France helpless for a Hitler walk-away. The same promise Was made Finland with the Russian bear taking advantage of th a t little group of loyal people. Today Greeces,finds herself just where Finland was months ago. All sorts of promises from England and meantime Hitler has built a wall around a t least two sides of Greece. v Greece needs 'not only war supplies but provisions for her people and America is looked upon for aid. A movement na­ tionwide has been started for financial aid and deserves loyal support, Greene county is going to do her part under the di­ rection of Judge Frank L. Johnson as chairman and R. O. Wead as treasurer. No great sums are expected, but small contribu­ tions from a large-number of citizens in the county will be ap­ preciated' by the committee and those who sympathize with Greece. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE ON ENGLISH PAYROLL One of the hard things the average citizen has to do it to determine for himself just who is putting out propaganda for England for pay'and who is not. The^statement made by John T. Flynn a t a forum meeting in New York City tha t England had a fund of $200,000,000 here to sell her war to the Ameri­ can people, has never been denied. * One of the leading committees backing the lease lend bill a few weeks ago lost its chairman who was forced to resign due to public sentiment in his Kansas community, being op­ posed to his views. Senator Capper, one of the leading farm publishers in the nation opp'oses the lease-lend bill. Senator Norris, Nebraska, would support the bill but he wants an amendment tha t we will not ship soldiers to Europe Or leave the Western hemisphere. A score of western senators of both poli­ tical parties are opposing the lease-lend bill. One thing is certaih no finger of taint can be pointed to those who take this stand,and it is up to the public to decide for itself just who is and who might be tempted to get a hand-out from the English fund. Senator Wheeler says ninety-five per cent of those back­ ing the bill have no, sons within draft age. This statement has npt been denied and merits consideration. * Last week a charge was made in Congress that a govern­ ment eihployeein the treasury department was on England’s pay roll. When brought before the committee he admitted the charge as true but could see no harm in it regardless he held an important place in tha t department so fa r as our re­ lations with other nations were concerned. Backers of the lease- lend bill never mention such conditions in our own government where we have a published list of more than 500 government employees, named by the New Deal, that have been exposed by the Dies Gommittee as Communists. No doubt we have sym­ pathizers of. Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin orf government pay roll also. Our greatest danger is from “within and not with­ out”. The lease-lend supporters point to treachery in official ranks in France And other European countries but never men­ tion What this nation faces a t home. Attacking Senator Wheel­ er is not the answer to the lease-lend bill. Should he expose some of the New Deal government contracts that have netted, Democratic politicians millions, there might be a crown for the Montana Demoferat, and a prison term for a lot of the pluhder- bund enthroned by the New Deal. We have much at stake a t home in the way of defense and HOME should come first. If Hitler is one half as bad as pictured, We know we had better protect our own shores first. When Sen. Carter Glass, D., Va., who is about 88 years old, protested a group of mothers gathered around his door in the Senate Office 'Building, he started something that even respect for old age is ignoring He made the charge that h$ doubted even If the women were mothers opposed to the nation entering the European war, the Senator being for the lease-lend bill. One of the mothers h it back a t the Senator by saying that he could not prove he was a father, meaning •this Virginian took unto himself last summer a wife who is about fifty yeurs younger than he, Sen. Lucas, D., 111., had to take cover when the Chicago delegation of women got after him for supporting the lease lend bill. A lot of things are coming to light as a result of the leage-l$nd bill and the hot factional fight among two groups of Democrats. Charges of all kinds are coming up. One is that there is one member of the Cabinet that can­ not show a marriage license. Every­ one will recall what the Democrats dug up and capitalized following the death of Warren G. Hading. Some un­ clean history on the Democratic side is just about ready to "go to press” and it is all on the Democratic side as a result of Roosevelt’s sell-out to King George. ■< If the farm element connected with the New Deal farm program, did not hear Sen. Button Wheeler Monday night in his radio address, something good was missed. His appeal to the farmers pf the middle and west states to continue to oppose the lease-lend bill-was one .of the most outstanding speeches we have heard on''the sub­ ject. His appeal was to. farmers who must contribute their sons as gun- fodder for a war not of. our making or choice. On a previous occasion the 'Senator made the statement that Roosevelt would plow under every fourth American boy ,jn the European war. The Senator did make the state­ ment that boys in two different camps are being especially trained to be shipped to Singapore to be placed in England's army and that all arrange­ ments had been made to ship on a moment's notice from the West Coast. It has been reported in business ;cir- iles for some time that the companies from Ohio National Guard with those from other states were to he moved into the Regular Army. In such an event they will not get to return after a year’s service in camp. Nor will other boys, because the law. has a loophole that gives Rooesvelt power to take advantage of an "emergency” We were glad to hear Sen. Wheeler expose the rotten deal Roosevelt made, with England when he traded 50 des­ troyers 'valued a t $250,000,000 for a few acres of swamp land that belong­ ed to the royal family in England and other millionaire Englishmen, He says the site in Bermuda is a swamp and now Uncle Sam is informed he must pay rent to build fortifications coat­ ing millions that will be for the pro­ tection of| English investments on that island. Similar charges have been made against fortifications on other English soil. One tract was purchased on'an island at the rate of $12,000 an acre. In January . Sen. Wheeler said he made the statement on the basis of correct information that the U. S. only had four bomber planes. This was denied in some quarters and he States that he wrote the navy depart­ ment (Sec. Knox) for the actual num­ ber, but to this date even a Senator has not received recognition of re­ ceipt of such a letter. The Senator, Monday night, asked some direct questions „of administration leaders that may cause some red-faces as to who gets in on the propaganda fund besides the radio and picture show in­ terests. If Roosevelt heayl the radio address Monday evening he probably developed a rather high fever because more than once there was a “knock a t his door," .■ war outside th$ Western Hemisphere. He e*X* Roosevelt has given direct orders to kill such amendments yet a few weeks ago, before faction time, he stressed the claim that our hoys would never he sent abroad. Over In Germany Hitler has what he terms the “Minister, of Propaganda” ; in Italy Mussolini has a similar office for government news. In England censorship is strict and only govern­ ment approved news cap be published. Russia has tight censorship. The'dic­ tatorship plan is In the making here, A proposed federal law creates the office of "government reports” and< naming $1,200,000 necessary for sal­ aries and expenses. Under this law nothing concerning your government could he published unless Roosevelt permitted and ho opinion could he ex-0 pressed in conflict with the "govern­ ment reports”/ The new law is neces­ sary to halter the press to cover up the sell-out to England. Roosevelt now controls the radio and picture show propaganda and A whole nation asks who is "paying fo r it? ” ' In the lobby a t the Y. M, C, A. last week while farmers were Awaiting the call fop instructions for the AAA regi­ mentation, one prominent farmer stat­ ed as far as his observation had gone more of the conservation money had gone into gasoline than fertilizer or, even clover or timothy seed. He re: peated a statement of ,a fertilizer salesman who last fall complained^ about business. When asked*the rea­ son the salesman replied, “The trouble is gasoline salesmen get to. the AAA check before the fertilizer salesman. I have to sell by product while gaso­ line sells itself.” Farmers wonder just why they must file income tax ..returns this year j whether they have, the minimum net income, of $2,00Q or not for married men or $800 for single. Heretofore business men were not required to file an income import unless they did a gross business of $5,000. Two rea­ sons can .be given for the change., firs t the New Deal expects to greatly increase income taxes next year for che Roosevelt w.ar debt and it is prob­ able that even married men with an income of as low as $1,000 will be in­ cluded as taxpayers with the rate in­ creased from four per cent to eight per cent. By compelling all persons that do a gross business of $2,000 the past year to file reports the govern­ ment has a record of all that can be included by the new tax law to be passed this session. Another reason given for calling for such reports is that several thousand Democrats will get on the government pay roll as lerks, inspectors add bookkeepers thus strengthening the Roosevelt per­ sonal political machine to crown him later as “chief pf police Of the world." The recent increase in the number of disasters in aviation brings to the memory the number of army flyers that were killed when private com panics were rejected early in the New Deal. Army flyers in those days had Httle.or no knowledge of flying condi­ tions long distances and most of them met death. Later mail contracts went to companies that made aviation *a business. Some months go the New Deal after having had nearly eight years experience in '‘hot air” and “air bubbles." placed, a lot of, untrained brain-trusters a t the head of the new department. The private commercial aviation interests had to submit. New tangled ideas were forced on the com­ panies' and pilots. The harvest has been costly in pilots and money. The passenger had to purchase his own ticket so he must carry his owrt re­ sponsibility in the light of the new management out of Washington. We hear a good story about a few1 of the local boys that like to play a little poker both for sport and profit, A group was gathered in a certain northside home a Saturday night re­ cently, or Sunday morning to be exact, Everything was going on peaceable until there was a rap at the front door. Silence prevailed. Again there waS( a rap accompar ied by the New Deal call "U, S. CCO,” let us enter. Not a mouse stirred and the Roosevelt code was uttered once mere. Ry tills time there was a quick exit by the kitchen door across lots and fences by a half-dozen or more that scattered as leaves to the wjrtd in a forty-mile gale. Early Sunday morning quiet was greatly disturbed but nothing dis­ turbed the "CCC trio”, The mystery is how did the "CCC Boys" get a tip on the doings of the night. Certainly Judge Henrie would know nothing about what local boys were doing with the pasteboards a t the early Sunday rooming hour. We met Horace Anderson, well known Xenia Twp. farmer, several days ago and in discussion of topics of the day, we learned that he just recently lias added to his farm hold­ ings. He stated that in more than forty years he has been farming he ha<< never had a "year in the red”, which is some record. To hack this record Mr. Anderson every few years has been adding to his farm holdings. He noW has more than 400 acres of farm land. You cannot purchase farm land on. paper profits., ; Sen, Wheeler makes a great hit when he attacks the administration supporters of the War bill when he says One of the amendments the op­ ponents want is a provision that American boys will not be sent into Now We have the other side of*the farm problem from a Clinton countian who*resides near the county line. Back in the boon days when butter was sixty cents a pound, hogs fifteen cents on foot and corn $1.50 a bushel, this friend purchased a small farm for $211 an acre. With high prices financ­ ing was no trouble but the bubble1 burst and down -went prices but there was the $211 an aege investment with taxes and interest charges. He blames no one but himself for the purchase was made against the ad­ vice of family and friends. Today he rents thq farm which just about pays the taxes, insurance and interest charges. To make payment on the farm debt and maintain a home he secured an outside job at a good sal­ ary and some of these days he will have his Jiigli-prieed farm paid for. That’s the old rule our grandfathers used When they purchased Greene county lnljd, cleared Off the forest, erected homes and barns, paid for { private Schooling for the children. Yes, there was a Santa Claus in those days, but he only came around Christ­ mas eve, Even the government in Washington had not thought of draft­ ing "Santa” as a dollar a year man for a full time Job, ........-------------------------------------------------------— m * * ■ 1 1 1 ) / / . - f - , . n * A ' \ '4 ^ ~ ~ , ■ ! ’ / v * 7 f ■■ ....> v i U ‘ l " 1 _ T _ *• >■ f - , / * ■> . . / ‘ ■' / iV < - ' 7 ' " : .. t ■ ■ ( — ■: /■C' i 7 <, ^ - y t ^ •V T V ' } ■" * y > - . * J A supposedly fantastic "Pipe Dream” becomes a reality for the first time la Ohio, Springfield will see a real Ice Skating T»nlr oa the stage of the Fairbanks Theater.
