Such a ’situa­ tion makes it hard for the President to justify his recent demand for in­ crease! taxes and for additional ap­ propriations of ninety billion dollars for war purposes. War appropria­ tions have simply been so large in the past that the government has been unable to spend the money. As a result many Members of Congress are Insisting that previously approp­ riated funds should first be expended before large additional appropria­ tions are made.

MAPLE SYRUP OUTLOOK NOT ENCOURAGING . The maple syrup outlook is not en­ couraging according to Greene Coun­ ty .maple syrup makers. While it is to,early to make any prediction it would seem the open, winter coupled with dry weather would make fo r'a heavy flow of sap.

There, are five counties in the dis­ trict; Greene, Clinton, Fayette, Ross_ and Highland. For many years there has been a rule that all terms be. limited to twb, each term being two years, and that the nominations go tg the various counties in rotation: The last senator was Albert "Daniels of Greenfield in Highland county. Under-the rotation rule it was thell Greenie county’s turn for the nomina­ tion this year. The committee had two names for consideration, that of Dr. Chambliss and Charles Beaver, the latter of Beavercreek Twp., he being engaged in the real estate bus-- iness. Both candidates had agreed that which ever received the endorse­ ment, the other would give his sup­ port. ■. Dr. Chambliss has served as May- or of Xenia for many years since the city has been under commission form of government. He .is a ,member, of the Republican committee represent­ ing his- ward and has been- active in Republican party affairs for many , years. - — . -------- - The committies passed a. resolution requesting the officers to send tele­ grams to Senators Taft and Burton and Cong. Clarence Brown, urging a vig orous opposition to the Roosevelt ’ federal- vote plan which would if .pas­ sed disfranchise every Republican— and Democratic voter in the. armed ! service from voting for all state can­ didates'from governor down, all judi-. rial candidates and all county candi­ dates'. .The Roosevelt plan would also compel .service voters to write in the. -names of senators and repre- senatives:while Roosevelt’s name was to be printed upon the ballot. There would be no Republican nominee. It was argued that state candidates would require larger ballots and thus overload the, mails, yet the Roose­ velts have girdled the earth ztiming up millions of gallons .of gasoline and the same cn'n be said of the cabinet ’ members and some radio commenta­ tors. • If a soldier giving his life cannot yote his state ticket, Republican or Democratic, have’ the. citizens back home the right to the same ballot?
