FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1942 W H Y NOT ROB tH E CEMETRIES OF IRON FENCE? .We get e story that is mot denied that a certain New Deal­ er as a representative pf some part of the New Peal $et-up wants the iron fence across the front of the’County Home lorn out hy the root forjtlnk, supposedly for *war purposes. We doubt veryinuph if the majority o f citizens in the county would approve of such a move because tbe fence has an economic value for years of service and again it wpuld be im­ possible to get another fence j>f any hind that could be replaced for all the present fence would bring as ‘‘junk” . There is a his­ toric value to the present fence in that it once served to enclose the old court house in the days when fences were in style. Scrapping the present county institution fence would of . course lead to digging up every other iron fence that surrounds private property in the county. Even the iron ornamental fen­ ces around the,various cemeteries, would have to go for junk. Not so long ago we visited a “ junk” yard in a neighboring city in search of a certain piece of iron, the war requirements .making it impossible to get a, new piece. While, oh that visit we saw several hundred feet of iron fence piled high in the junk yard and we take it that every other yard in that business has more or less old iron fence, some of which has a value to our citizenry as well ag for war need, but all for sale. The, point is this iron fence is for sale and why dobs not the New Deal pur- chaseiit along with everything else in sight. Certainly, it is not a question o f funds in these Rooseveltian billion dollar days l With such a condition why then should any New Deal agent be snooping about county property for the homeless to get scrap? Another suggestion would be to follow reports of employ­ ees at the government fields this county where plenty" of altim- . inum and scrap rubber can be found in great quantities. Our suggestion is for "Greene countians to ask for a Congressional investigation of the-waste of needed materials',at both Wright and Patterson Fields, *- 'The saddest part of this commentary is that if it takes the iron fence-from county homes and cemeteifes to win the war in the face 'of New Deaf extravagance and waste, we are waging a loosing fight and must have new leadership. . LEON, THE GREAT , W AN TS $250 PER SERMON . A very interesting letter, from Ray Tucker, the Washing^ ton columnist .gives an account of how out price-fixer Leon Henderson is feathering his nest while trying to prepare him­ self for the'high cost of living. Leon is a very busy man. Leon is a very important cog in , thb New Deal Communistic wheel. He knows more about con­ duct of business than another man that was never in business He can think of more red tape than even Harry Hopkins, whose specialty has been spending other people’s money and working without drawing the sweat of his brow. , Henderson told congress he needed 90,000 paid aids"to tell business men what they must do. As taxes from everyday necessities of life have much to do with the cost of living Hen- derson does not tell his subjects that the combined salaries'of 90,000 snoopers Will add to the cost of living with higher taxes on the things the public must purchase. Leon, the great, has let it become knowqgthat he is will ing to sacrifice his talents and the government’s time to take the lecture platform where he will deliver sermons with a min- -• imum fee pf $250 and expenses. Being a busy man Leon does not have time to Write his speeches and radio propagandaso he has set aside from government funds the sum of $5,000 a year to pay for a “ clerical assistant” whose duties it is to write his radio talks, his lectures and the $250 sermons. Some of the churches should take up a collection 'and invite'Leon for a sermon so the world would understand he Was in church and- behind a pulpit ..once in his lifetime. The world at large is now wondering just what would have happened .to the uni­ verse had not Leon and Franklin D. been here in this world of turmoil. ■ * " , , -A mad military genius named Napoleon orice had'the same estimation of himself. Where is he and think what his lory has to say of his attempts to reform the world according . to his own views? / / ~• ---- ■— *'. THOSE DANGEROUS “ON-ORDER” GUN BOATS With both radio and press announcing the increase in boat losseg on the western Atlantic due to German submarines is the topic"of the week. One thing is certain the government has not been fair in giving the public the facts as events have happened or there has been a piling up of reportg, at least as far back as July 3rd, To hear the radio admit the sinking of our merchant ships was on the increase and that the admitted loss so far has reached 400 has taken the nation by surprise. Comment has been critical and the public wants to know the facts and what the weaknegs is that has permitted such a record. The eco- ‘ nomical loss in ships is great, the sinkings being faster than we are able to build new vessels. Shortages on material has been a great factor and just this, week the ^government has had to stop the erection of a great ship building plant in New Orleans The loss of war cargo in. these vessels amounts- to- millions of dollars and as a result will eventually fall on every citizen in the form o f taxes. England has our torpedo boat destroyers under lease lend. We protect England and suffer at home. The wonderful “ on-order” gunboats and other military equipment Roosevelt boasted about time after time over the radio proved to be paper-pop guns to mislead the people. At that time crit­ icism was. rant about entering the war until we were prepared and we are still preparing with a loss of more than four hun dred 'merchant ships since December 7th. Fighting a war with*our guns loaned across the Sea is proof that we have, had the short-end of the lease-lend deal with England, In this day of wild spending the more billions the better but few words are there for the thousands of boys that have lost their lives with the sinking merchant ships. * Think o f it! Farmers are getting as much as $1.08 bushel fo r wheat un­ der the AAA ! What a tribute to Roosevelt, Wiekard, Mason-ft Co, The old.time farmer o f the days o f Farm Institutes used to sit back and listen with intentative ear that wheat could not be produced fo r leas than $ 1 - for even a small profit. Back in the days when 0 . E, Bradfute was head o f the Ohio Farai Bureau that was one .o f' the objects of- the organisation. What; would he think i f on his return he found wheat $1.03 a bushel with $3.00 a day labor and taxes twice as high on land and improvements and farm machinery three times -what it was in those days. The thing that certainly concerns present wheat growers that have no $17 a month labor is what to do with all the monejr Roosevelt, Wiekard & Mason are getting far­ mers fo r their 1942 wheat crop. ■|S*U * !<JW f UW 1"1 *•W " i w** fA« w i& etisar iHttesMfr **ta do not s u i t whM£ or news eon- sidersd for syutbsttc r&bbsr can be made cheaper and qaidaw than any o f the known product*.

Jacks, Jamestown, R, R. that, it wheat was U*ed fo r rubber we could not grow enough o f it iu this country fo r rubber and flour. The danger would be farmers might get more than $1.03 a bushel for wheat and this would bring on “inflation". Paul Mallon in his Monday letter from Washington refers to “ House Gag Rule” in connection with the pas­ sage o f the last taxation measure. He says: “ It sounded a little like the Reichstag” . Paul might be right jn expressing, himself so bluntly on tax matters and the Hitler method o f fail roading legislation, but he might ge t a cancellation o f his press pass to the White House propaganda mill. With the news writers gathered to get the low down on the war they find them­ selves frequently getting a lesson on the Stalin idea o f world socialization. The New Dealers are good at “ clos­ ing and locking the stable door after the loot is gone." Monday the House voted to outlaw the graft in war con­ tracts after the smell reached high heaven. Months ago stories in press and radio alluded to the fact honest firms had. little chance at war con­ tracts without being held up. New Dealers winked at the outright theft o f public funds and the antics o f the Cleveland firm that*was, so generous with -bookkeepers .end stenographers, There was Charles West, and his oyer ripe commissions with 1 a suit in court. Now Congress -says - a fine o f $5,000 will be assessed against all those who from now on indulge in graft. The loop hole however provides for the pay ments o f salaries no limit, to anyone who works for a contract, cost-plus or not. The ’court records will not be crowded with names- o f the ‘‘alleged graft collectors on salary, f Herb Mengert in his Sunday ‘letter to the Enquirer certainly treats FDR I without kid gloves when he compares the three terms o f Gov. Lehman, Dem. New York, with the Roosevelt terms as executive o f that state. . Lehman no longer shouts the Roosevelt praise from the housetop, He has sided in with James Farley, who is the number one Democrat in that state. When Roosevelt issued his manifesto that Farley’s, religion, Catholic, made his nomination for president impossible, this was hitting Gov, Lehman, who is of the Jewish faith. Mengert com­ pares the $ 100 , 000,000 deficit left by Franklin D. as governor to the $54,- 000,000 surplus now on hand under Lehman. Lehman has paid Off every dollar o f the Roosevelt debt during the present three terms soon-to end. The meat packers continue to sing the blues about Henderson’s price- ceiling on processed meats. One West­ ern cattle feeder who usually ships 1000 head to Chicago each winter is out o f the business this year. He has disposed o f all his feeding calves and will keep his breeding cows. He says the future market under present con­ trol is dangerous fo r feeder a s ; well i,as packer. ' Walter Cultice, Xenia packer, says he is running his own business and does, not have . to have advice from Price-fixer Henderson or any other New, Deal politician down in Wash­ ington. He is buying live stock on the market and not asking farmers to take less so he can sell dressed meat for less. He is doing business a best he can as a true American citizen with the Golden Rule as his guide—not a crack-pot down in Washington, In speaking o f state surplus Can­ didate Heer, Democrat, seeking the nomination fo r governor in a list of candidates, suggests that Gov. Brick- er should turn‘ the Ohio surpfhs of $13,000,009 over to Roosevelt- to be spent on the war effort. Heer does not expect to be elected even if nom­ inated on such a suggestion, Gov. Bricker has paid o ff several- million debt left by Gov, Martin L. Davey and has also built up this Surplus. He has warned the state it was necessary to have this surplus for the school and old ago pensions f o r the sales tax Was to drop with the. freezing o f tires and automobiles. This has happened and yet a Democrat wants to turn over Ohio money to the professional spend­ thrifts in Washington. We doubt if Brother Heer permits any employee in his. big printshop in Columbus to be so generous with the company funds. The plight cemetery management is going to be in-to care for. the yards as well as labor fo r graves is a prob- em that is yet unsolved. A t a meet­ ing o f executives o f Ohio associations recently in Cedar Point, the first con­ sideration was where to get finance to meet mounting costs as 'all endow­ ment income had been, reduced.sixty per cent. The, fact no provision is made under gasoline rationing as well as rubber for cemeteries for. these necessities leaves much o f the modem equipment useless. It was admitted that all-burial costs in the near future from the. standpoint o f cemetery man­ agement would be greatly increased. Most modem cemeteries are hand or power mowed at least once, a month and oftener during the summer son* tu* sea* With Gov. James M. C 6 x’s Dayton News going to four cents a copy and his Springfield Evening News and the Morning Sun going to five cents each, proves the Ex-Gov. has little' fear of inflation even if his editorial columns do fear economic hell in the country if the farmers of the nation are to get oven a small slice o f the wartime profits everyone else is enjoying. We agree as to the increased cost o f pub­ lishing a newspaper, large or small, but we disagree with the editorial policy o f opposing the same benefits for farmers as publishers desire. The old c r y o f parity prices is a myth. I t was put out to fool the public and the farmer as well. It is a damnable lie to deceive and "betray American far­ mers and at the same time cover up low living costs for political purposes to organized labor. Joseph- Wade, who- has had charge o f the Xenia Woodland Cemetery for a' number o f years and has probably supervised the burial o f more persons than any -other person in this or ad­ joining counties predicts * within a year cemeteries will "be mowed with the old hand scythe- instead o f the laWn mowers, which, are not to be made for the duration and lot owners may be required to mow their own lots if the labor situation docs not change. The situation being in the hands o f the government, lot mana­ gement cannot be held responsible due to the war restrictions. , Lewis Talbert Benson, Xenia, R.
