BROWN Member of Congress, Seventh Ohio District , The President’s message on infla­ tion has brought a mixed reaction in ■ Congress, While most members tjf ■ Congress agree that a greater effort to prevent inflation must be made, they are resenting the attempt to place full responsibility for present conditions upon Congress, and espe­ cially the President’s threat to- take action himself if the Congress does not repeal or change farm price ceil­ ings "by October 1st, In his message, the President demanded the repeal of the section of the Price Control Act which provides that no ceiling shall he placed on any farm product a t less than one hundred and ten percent ot parity, and the,fixing of a definite ceiling on farm prices. At the same time he told Congress that he would take action to “stabilize” wages. In this connection attention, should be called to the fact that when the Price Control Act was before Congress last January, farm leaders of the nation agreed to accept ceiling prices on farm products a t parity, providing wages and salaries were * likewise frozen' at the rates then in effect.. This the Administration refused to do, and Administration leaders fought and defeated all attempts to write, any wage fixing provision into the Price Control Act, As a result the agric3ltural interests demanded the ■one hundred and ten percent of parity price ceiling, which was written into the law. Since the Price Control Act was passed, the President’s War La­ bor Board has granted many wage increases to industrial workers and has established a policy of approving wage increase requests up to fifteen per cent above wage payments being received on January 1, 1941, PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR COURT NEWS Sallie Taylor, seeking4 a decree from Lee Taylor, Cedarville, whom she married in Richmond, Ky., July 10, 1940, charges neglect and cruelty and asks restoration to her maiden name of Sallie Collins. Charging cruelty, Christine George asks for her freedom from Theodore R. George, 1238 W. Columbus Rd„N. W., Washington D. C., and seeks cus­ tody of a minor child. The couple was married December 24, 1932.* Matilda Mitchell charges cruelty in her suit against Mike Mitchell, 412 Main St., Cincinnati. The couple was married in Canton, O., October 29, 1934. ‘ Nellie Baughn, in a suit against Clement Baughn,,Xenia Twp„ charges cruelty and neglect and asks for cus­ tody of a minor child and /temporary and permanent alimony. They wefe married a t Peebles, O., August 10, 1941. Bonnie Belle Holton charges neg­ lect and cruelty in seeking-a divorce National Grange Head Sees Politics * In Price Ceilings BOSTON, Albert S. Goss, master of the National Grange, asserted to­ day that President Roosevelt's prom­ ise to impose new farm price ceilings by Oct. 1st if Congress did not act before then, was “purely political”, “I don’t think there’s any emergen­ cy -that requires such a threat,” he said in an interview after conferring with New England grange leaders. Declaring that the country is in no danger “of blowing up” in the im­ mediate future, Goss said that Price Administrator . Leon Henderson has power to regulate farm prices. “Of the 22 farm commodities which comprise 75 per cent of all agricult­ ural production”, he said, “jhirteen already are selling far below parity prices, while -Henderson already has the power to restrict prices on the eight items which now are selling at prices far above those set by law.” Goss said the Administration hes- BECOMINGACTIVE , itated to act on those commodities from Edgar Holton, Xenia, whom she because cUtting prices on thcm would married September 6,1929. She seeks custody of two minor children, per­ manent alimony .and asks- that the defendant be restrained from remov­ ing from their home some of the fur­ nishings and belongings. It appears rather certain that the Congress will not pass any law plac­ ing a lower ceiling, on farm prices un­ less at the same time legislation is also enacted to fix land freeze wages and salaries. Many members point "out that the President has never been as firm in dealing with the organized workers of the country as he has with other elements of our population. They know what he means when he talks of “fixing” farm price ceilings, hut they,, are not certain as to his meaning when he talks of “stabiliz­ ing” wages. There is a general feel­ ing in Congress that any -legislation enacted should be all embracing and should treat all groups within our citizenship exactly alike. The sug­ gestion of Speaker Rayburn that Con- ress adopt a short resolution authoriz­ ing the President to take any steps he may deem necessary, regardless of any present law, to meet the in­ flation situation, has hut little sup­ port in Congress. Most Members are adverse to granting any such dicta­ torial powers to the President. There is a growing feeling among, the na­ tional legislators that perhaps the Congress' has already delegated too many of its powers to the President and others, and there is a quiet Tie- termination to maintain Congress­ ional control of our economic sit­ uation through legislation. DIVORCES GRANTED Divorces were awarded ■ as follows:, Grace Dunbar from Paul Dunbar and custody of four minor children award­ ed plaintiff; Joseph A. Lyvers from Lela Lyvers and defendant restored to her maiden name of Lela Early; Henry S. Stafford'from Betty Jo Stafford and. defendant restored to maiden name of Betty Jo Hunt. DISMISS CASES The case of Hari’y Fisher agpinst Nellie Fisher atnd others was dis­ missed by the plaintiff and the case of Lena Fannin against John M. Fan­ nin was dismissed on application of the plaintiff. . result in production’s being cut off. This he said, left only one com- .modity-chickens-between parity and 110 per cent of parity. Pointing out that the Oct. 1 dead­ line which the President set for Con­ gress to act was only-five weeks be fore the November elections. Goss said was calculated to put i many of Mr. Roosevelt’s congressional antagonists “on the spot” by forcing them- to take a position on the price issue which may appear to be contrary to the view of either labor or agriculture or both.

Church St,, Xenia, and had resided in that‘city 35 years. He was born in Clifton and was. the son of John Shope a coBjpSi' by trade. He is survived by two sons, Earl and Robert, Xenia, a brother, Oliver, Clifton, and a sister, Mrs. Emma Cultice, Springfield, Chas. R. Rheubert* elected recent­ ly to head defense activities in this community, called a*meeting of citi­ zens interested in this work. The group met in the town hall, reviewed past activities and made plans for the future. Plans are in progress for showing educational films at the high school auditorium; for organizing var­ ious defense courses, organizing for fire protection, especially against in­ cendiary bombs, and for continuing the first-aid program”. A survey of past community -act­ ivities includes a ”number of defence courses as follows: Red Cross' first aid courses, both standard and ad­ vanced, completed in May under the supervision of Mrs. John Mills, and Mrs. H. A. Reinhard. These ladies are now in the process of completing a Junior Cross course, and an adult course backed by the Zion Baptist Church. A course in Home Nursing has recently been completed under the direction of Mis. Warren Barber. Mrs. Donald Kyle gave a course in nutrition during July and August. During the school year, 1941-42, courses in automechanics and sheet, metal working were conducted at the local high school by Wni. Fisher and Ralph Moon. These were well attend­ ed, and proved vocationally worth­ while. Courses which will proably begin in the near future include first aid, automechanics, metalworking, and- a course for college credit in Xenia in pre-flight aeronautics,, carrying col­ lege credit. The last course is open to high school graduates, and adults who have had some background in mathematics and physical science. ■ Mr. John Mills will offer a training program for volunteer firemen. Those interested in the above? should calL^the high school office, where a file will be kept to expedite schedul­ ing this work.' Complete organization of the local defense unit will be announced in the near future, as well as plans for additional defense activities. Mr. Rheubert has*,called an addi­ tional meeting of the Defense Council for Tuesday, Sept. 22. at8 p. m, ' Henderson Says Hogs Are Out of Reason And Must Be Lowered Leon Henderson, New Deal price fixer, stated before the Senate Bank­ ing Committee hearing the farm and wage control bill, Tuesday, that hogs were out of reason and should be lower in price even to the farmer. He boldly told the committee farmers were not entitled to present farm prices. Maine Gives Answer To Farm Price Fixing Maine went Republican Tuesday, the first state election, all state of­ fices being captured by votes of two to four to one. Most of the counties of the state also went Republican, including ten that usually go Dem­ ocratic. TheriHemocratic rural counties re­ pudiated the New Deal price fixing proposal which is the answer to the Roosevelt Labor Day speech for con­ trol of all farm prices. Evidently Maine Democratic farmers do not relish fighting over the world for democracy and then be forced under dictatorship in this country.

Aj FOURTH ANNUAL SALE Chairman Neal Hunter of the Re­ publican Executive Committee has called a meeting for this Friday even­ ing in the Common Pleas Court Room* Xenia, a t 8 o’clock to select a cam­ paign committee. The Fourth Annual Sale of Berk­ shire boars and gilts will be held at the Boa-Mar Farms, 6 1-2 miles west of Washington C. H. on State. Route 3 nnd U. S. Route 22, Friday, Septem­ ber 25 at 1 P. M, Beside boars there will be 20 head of bred and open gilts oiffred. The sale is that of S, C. Beas­ ley and' S. B. Marling.' If tt\e New Deal has its way under the Roosevelt-Henderson proposal for control of hog prices, the highest par­ ity price would be $10.25 a hundred. The lowest. Would be d fraction over $8.00 per hundred. * '• .However, Congress is not going to let the New Deal fix prices for farm products under the' Russian Commu­ nistic formula. The sham' boast of regulated organized wages as propos-' ed in the Labor Day speech with farm prices frozen will be ignored by both Republican and Democratic leaders from the rural states. The National : Grange is opposing the Roocevelt plan while some of the Farm Bureau lead* ers want fixed farm prices, notably Sec. Lincoln, of the Ohio Farm Bu­ reau. . ■. ■. Congress is now considering a farm price bill on demand of the New Deal to make good a campaign pledge to organized labor leaders that the “cost of iiviiig would not be increased by the war” while wages.could go sky high. Report's indicate Congress will tie farm prices,, wages and salaries. By this control the nation is promised there can be no inflation.. No one will ever know until it is tried. If*it does not work, the fault will not be w ith 1 Congress. It can be said now that such a bill will not please organized labor and probably Roosevelt has- mo intention of forcing a control of wages. Until this time the farmer was the center of the New Deal fight for con­ trol of farm prices for it was he that was responsible for inflation-follow­ ing the First World War* this being a White House charge weeks ago, , .With farm prices having risen 74 per cent over the 1907-’14. base for ‘ parity, and wages 240 per cent, the farmer is not going to get a square deal under most any bill proposed or passed by Congress, due to the New Deal Stalin club being held over the Democratic majority. > We have been handed a copy of the Pittsburgh Live Stock, Journal, issue of August 2, 1919, by Mrs. Frank Townsley, widow/of the ’late Frank V Townsley,;noted' stockbuyer* and far­ mer of his day. We find a stream headline across the paper in bold wtfoditype: ‘Hogs $24.30; New Record* Here are some other prices: Mediums* 24.30; Prime Heavies, $23.25; heavy yorkers, $24.25; pigs, $23.00. The Herald weeks ago carried the story if $23.50 being paid for bogs in Ce­ darville the First World War and on be base of increase for organized la­ ser wages today, the price of hogs would exceed $24.50. • ‘ Prices quoted in the Journal that ' same issue for other stock are as fol- * lows, sheep $11.00: lambs, $15.50. Cattle prices were: Prime steers, $16.00, choice i000 lb., $15.10; butch­ er steers, $13.75; calves* $21. Hay prices: Timothy No. 2* $36; Clover, $26. mixed, $29. Wheat, $2.50 bu.; Oats, 88c bu.; No. 2 corn, $2.27; wheat straw* $11 - ton. Poultry, Hens alive, 38c dressed 45; * Butter, 58 l-2c lb.; Eggs, 54c; Lard, 37c lb. Compare the above war time farm prices with the New Deal controlled price-of 85c a bu, for com and $2.27 for corn in 1919, At the same time compare wages of 1919 and cost of living with that of 1942, and income taxes you must pay this year that you probably did not have to pay in 1919. We find the Department of Agri­ culture in figuring farm costs on crops . does not include the labor of the wife ” and the children, many of them taking the place of labor that once ■ could be hired. This makes the annual income of the individual farmer much higher than It would be if he had to employ labor outside of his family. The A g . Department does not consider family labor on par with hired labor.. Under present farm prices the coming in­ come and sales taxes (proposed fed­ eral' 10 per cent)) to meet war ex­ penditures will reduce the net income of the farmer for .debts and home sup­ port a t ‘25 to 50 per cent under what the income was in the years after tha First World War, when few farmers had to pay income taxes directly* F. O. Harbison reports he sold hia.. wheat on July 10* 1919 for $2.09-out of the field. Oh August 13* 1919, he sold corn a t $2.00 a bu. On July 9, 1920, he Sold com for $1.80 a bu. July 21, 1920, wheat a t $2.00 a bu* The 'New Heal asks far­ mers to accept panic (1907-‘14) prices as parity regardless of increased cost of production. LOST*-Pair glasses.
