On* can. readily see that soms ten ok twelve counties desire to milk the state at the ex­ pense of some V5 rural counties. It is hoped that Governor Brisker will ytand Ms ground, having refused at different times to call an extra session of the state, legislature at the request of the city officials, . We have made a cheek on a report of the Petroleum In­ dustry Committee of Ohio as to taxes collected from automo­ biles, oil, gas, licenses, etc. We are using in round numbers, millions of dollars, for ,convenience, figures on the amount of tax collected from the motorists in the state and how it was distributed., • The State Highway Department received SI million; coun­ ties, 6 million; municipalities,^ million, and townships, S mil Hon, a total of 88 milUon dollars from gasoline tax. * The amount collected from license plates amounted tp 22 million dollars.' Of the various taxes collected as above the municipalities of the state received more than 11 million dol­ lars. With the federal government checking the sale of auto tires and ah estimatedone third of the automobiles being forced , off the highways by Starch 1st, it,is safe to assume^that the state as well as the counties, municipalities and townships will receive at least one third less revenue from that source than last year. The cities have'received their share under the law of all state collected taxes and evidently have not exercised good business judgment in expenditure. Gov. Brisker is pledged to pay state debts, part of which he inherited from a Democratic administration, there being six million yet due on the state school debt. He had repeatedly reminded the legislature that if the nation become involved in warit would be necessary to have a surplus to* meet emergencies; or special state taxes. The Governor was elected a second tijpe on, his campaign - promises which is"more than the city officials can say for their own taxpayers have refused to vote‘them extra tax'levies as well as bonds, yet they come to the state treasury door implor­ ing tor funds for cities in a few Counties at the -expense, of the great majority of counties, ‘ . : * . The meat o f the municipal appeal is, that practically all of the city officials represent city Democratic administrations. Cincinnati is the lone exception. She has a Republican adminis­ tration and so fa r is not,begging the state for financial aid, Jamestown; Bay Miller, Bellbrook Mayor-elect'; Charles I.

He cites the fact the farmer is asked to produce more with little new farm machinery, limited rubber tirss and with labor supplied through the Department o f Agricul­ ture a* worthless “nothing laes than trash,” Bromfisld has been mentions at times as a possible Democratic candidate for governor at the primary. He has been an ardent New Dealer but evidently is distressed when he sees farm prices fixed, farm income placed tower than any other class in the nation. A few more such state­ ments to the United Press and radio such a* Brumfield hAs issued migb; earn for himself the term o f "on patriotic.* Cur attention has been Called to a communication in the .Dayton Herald concerning farm prices and deploring it, price ceiling that would put farm prices pn par with war profits for al industry as well as retail' business, Oie writer, evidently a Dayton,citizen, protests that a price ceiling o f 182 per iertt should be proposed as parity, this 'igure being set as necessary to place the farmer oh equal terms with what tther interests are enjoying, . The writer says: “Most of us would dispute at the.present time any argu- ' rnent* that- the farm population is lot now getting its equitable share o f the national income—Frankly I feel ,hat the rank and file o f farm popula­ tion, would allow their patriotism and £ood citizenship to dictate their-judg- ment if they were aWare o f the ramifi­ cations implied" by the suggested measure. Most o f us would,prefer to make our monetary sacrifice in.the form o f buyingjlefense bonds rather than by transferring the equivalent purchasing power to the farm group -m the form o f higher food prices.'’ The sentiment expressed by this writ­ er i* largely that of the average citi- -sgp. It Is the expressed feeling of nany of’the daily press editorial.Writ- jrs, -especially those that preach the ioctrines o f the New Deal. Patriotism is a firm thing* to discuss, especially. AFjhenone's pocketbook is being enrich­ ed. But let. the shoe get on the other foot and then patriotism must be the prime object irrespective o f any m eet sary gain fm tiw attk«r' fisBew. Att the patriotism o f the nation is not In New Deal ranks. Neither do city folks have any corner oh it.' The American farmer will bo found patriotic and just as firm in his support o f hi* gov­ ernment but he cannot be and will no; bo a goat for sacrifice in the name o f patriotism while other classes gamer war time riches.. . The turn ° f events in theAAA wheat protest movement which were evident at the hearing Saturday in -Federal; Court indicate the government'did not' have as much interest in injunction proceedings against collection o f the 49c penalty as during the first hearing some months ago. I f the temporary injunction had been granted but two farmers would have been protected from payment. As the case stand* all the farmers in the southern district o f the federal court which includes everything south o f an east-west line above Franklin county are protected. The protest associations have an es­ timated membership o f 10/100, more than 600 being in Greene county alone. Every effort has been made to get the Ag. Department to file a test suiu for the. collection of the 49c penalty rather than have the injunction method resorted to but every effort was fruitless. The Ag. Department changed the rules from the time farm­ ers voted, from a 15c penalty to 49c. Charge* of favoritism have been filed by scores of farmers against tbe con­ trolling committees in some twenty counties. Some damaging letters have been Sent by tbe various committees to farmers under a veiled threat, all o f which would attract the attention of any court. The attorneys Were ready with Witnesses at the Dayton hearing last Ssturda ' at the govern­ ment made no effort for an open hear­ ing at this time. If the protestors Win the final decision a lot of farmers tfaat have paid the penalty will have thrown their money away without any chance whatsoever of getting one penny returned. tb«k sag l * • *MT tfr* $I m & mmmnmm t o m M • toJW j* iw i | im adam wkmm 9 mu It ^ lhNi raal ship* wHfe- w i . m tm i aw* ta oarry *o a iw r M i fo fannotdotM ; wttit M m «wt kt ksg 4 f e«r beata la the Atlastis a*rtsc dfrastimi o f tiw British Navy.

You will recall that Sen. Wheeler also gave warning and likt the others was termed an “ isolation­ ist”, even by his Democraticassociates who were under the halter o f the New Deal Col, Charlea Lindbergh was em­ ployed by Boosevelt tojmake a trip to Europe to spy on the other nation* as to naval and air strength. He prob­ ably secured more Information than could any other citizen. What he re­ ported made Boosevelt furiously mad, The report showed Germany had more airplanes and a larger army than any nation, including this coun­ try, with plenty o f equipment for land forces. He reported. England and France could not jointly defeat Hit­ ler and this brought more anger. Im­ mediately Lindbergh became the ob­ ject of. New Deal wrath because he told the truth. Now we learn that Japan is the only nation that has sub­ marines that can travel 10,000 miles without refueling and has-fifteen of these, boat* in use, something neither England nor the U. S. can boast of. .Congress voted ipttliens for home de­ fense each year of the New Deal but most of the money intended for the army and navy went into New Deal privy construction and raking leaves.
