LINCOLN SPEAKER AT FARM BUREAU MEET— The’ Senate Finance Cmmittee has practically rewritten the tax bill which was passed by the House two weeks ago. While the Senate goes a- long with the House in freeing some twelve million Americans in the low income group from paying income . taxes in the future, the Senate version o f the tax bill provides for a three per oentage point reduction in each in come bracket instead of four, elimi- nates the ten percent reduction guar­ anteed to high bracket taxpayers un­ der the provisions of the House bill and in lieu thereof gives each taxpay­ er a five perceht deduction from the total amount of tax due as figured un­ der the above schedule. The Senate has also added a new provision which Will continue and extend special in­ come tax exemptions to members of the armed forces, and to veterans Hom 1 Preaching 11 A. M.

The bride wore a Suit of pearl gray wooll with brown accessories, and car­ ried a white Testament on which was a corsage of white roses. Her sister wore a suit of bottle-green wool with brown accessories and a corsage of bronze chrysanthemums. Following the ceremony eighty-five guests attended a reception at the home of the brides mother. Mrs. Fer­ guson wore a gray dress with black accessories and a corsage o f rose chry8 anthemums and Mrs. Harvey Shaw, mother o f the bridegroom, wore a dress o f wine crepe with harmonizing accessories and a corsage of white chrysanthemums. Lt. and Mrs. Shaw left Saturday night on a wedding trip and will be nt home after November 15 on a farm on the Clifton pike. Mrs. Shaw is a graduate o f Cedar­ ville High School and attended Ce- darviUe College where she was a mem­ ber of Chi Sigma Phi Sorority. She has been employed at the Xenia Na­ tional Bank, Lt.

Ferguson, Telluride, Colo., Mrs, Paul Duncan, Coulterville, 111., and Rev, James C< Stormont, Ligonier, Pa. Greene county’s proposed budget for 1946 envisions an increase o f $20,- 000 i’ i expenditures in the general OP' crating fund. A public hearing was held Wednesday morning at the court house when final action was taken on' the outlined $256,361.25. The require­ ments are about tho same as last year except an additional amount to care for necessary repairs on the court house-roof. A decrease was voted in thc dog and kennel fund. The Greenville, O, chamber o f com­ merce has sent vigorous protest to the OPA in Washington, to senators and all congressmen, against the present hog price ceilings and any change in the floor price for the following year. The chamber also asks the aid of .all like organizations in neighboring cities to oppose the present ceiling on hogs in behalf o f the farmers, who are the protential part of the retail trade in each county. Tiie cry across the central states is that if organized labor is entitled to an increase o f 15 to- 30 percent in all wages, so are the farmers entitled to the same on all farm products. ‘ x, County Is Short In War Fund Campaign p ■ Greene county has so fa rnot met its quota for the National War Fund that was to close Tuesday, according to Dr. H. H. Abels, county chairman. An appeal went otit to all workers to do their best and “ comb every corner.” There is no excuse to go into detail as to the purpose of this fund for it has had wide publicity over the coun­ ty. There are many Greene cuntyians in the service and more “ boys” are to be drafted regardless of the fact the war is over—everywhere except in Washington. A special appeal is made to all the lunches, fraternal orders, granges, in fact ail groups, to make up a fund of certain amounts among their own members to meet this emergency. MEETING IN INTEREST OF BOY SCOUTS A number of parents and sons met in the Methodist Church to discuss the oy Scout movement, Ward Creswell is Scout master of the local and head­ ed the movement to expand the work of the organization. Supt. Walter S. Boyer of the public schools was ap­ pointed chairman o f the cubbing com­ mittee to arrange for additional meet­ ings. The organization needs headquarters nd it was suggested that the town- hip Trustees grant the use o f the floor under the opera house stage in out of tlie dressing rooms to house the organization this- winter.

PRICE, $1.50A YEAR DENISTRADE L0WHO6SF0R C IO VOTES The American: farmer is still the experimental guinea pig for the new. Dealeirs in trading lower coBt o f living fo r higher wages to organized labor. The Truman administration is in the hole trying to make good promises to organized labor by the former Pres* ident. Lower cost of living at tbe ex­ pense o f the farmer is part o f |he New Deal campaign strategy fo r the 1946 congressional elections. Fanners are being traded o ff for the* votes o f organized labor by Secretary o f Agri­ culture Clinton Anderson, who has all along posed as the friend o f the-farm-. er himself owner o f several hundred acres of land. His salary as Secretary is evidently more important as * poli­ tical job than the income from hia land in the arid west. BACK FROM HUNTING TRIP William Marshall and brother, Fred, the latter of Dayton, spent a week at Miller, S. Dakota, hunting quail. The game was plentiful and forty birds were brought home. The trip was made by motor. * The Research Club will meet next Thursday at the home o f Mrs, J. S. Wart. The Secretary announced this week that the floor price for hogs .after Oct. 1,1946 will be one dollar less than the present price. The price is now- $13 at Chicago fo r the base and . will be dropped to $12 a year from* now, just one month before the congressional elections. j Sec. Anderson in his argument*for a reduction in the floor price goes to the dream days o f Henry Wallace and his boggy parity fooler to deceive farmers. Anderson uses his arithmetic in computing the Vfew floor price. “ Parity for hogs on Sept. 13,1945, wps $12.60. Ninety per cent o f thiB is $11.34. Anderson adds a new feature in his , plan to lower the cost o f living by low­ ering the floor price o f hogs.using the - seasonal method. He took care to put the floor price down when farmers are able to feed hogs at a minimun, cost and upped the price when,there, ia. al­ ways a scarcity o f both hogs and feed due to the season. Anderson,puta> his floor figures as follows: “ The.Chicago $12 average support... price will vary with normal seasonal changes , rang­ ing from $10,75 in December, 1946 to $13.25 in September, 1947. ^ Anderson sets the 1946 spring pig goal at 52,000,000, about equal to the -1945 spring pig crop, Sec. Anderson's reported action on 1946 floor prices- are hardly in. tune . with his radio speech or his talk to representative farmers of the .central states some months ago at Lebanon. Farmers that heard his remarks and were in attendance at the WLW affair had high hopes of a much different secretary of agriculture than the re­ cent Hoosierite that has gone into re­ tirement with a record as the greatest fizzle that ever graced the ag chair in more than 159 years o f the nation’s history. -It was he who. double cross­ ed the farmers on the, hog market and the farmers immediately went on a hog strike” and shipped hundreds o f thousands o f sows to market, thus creating a scarcity o f pork that not be found in great quantity in any retail market. Secretary Anderson by his recent lowering of the floor prices on hogs in the face o f organized labor’s demands, has taken a step that abut puts his judgment an his interest in thefar* m judgment and his interest in the farm- on par with his Hoosier predecessor. One is inclined to believe Anderson is not familiar with the central states farming situation with 1945 war time wages on ail farms against panic year hog prices of 1914. Ohio alone raises probably ten times more hogs than the Secretary’s native state. Ohio is not regarded as a very good field for billy goats or cyotes. The Secretary has put the weight o f organized labor first in, computing his hog price schedule against the organ­ ized farm vote as his latest order will prove attractive to organized labor at the 1946 congressional elections< Hog Price Ceiling Protested In Dark Co. The Chamber of Commerce in, Green­ ville has taken action to protest the OPA local hog price ceiling for Darke county and other restrictions,. The chamber acts in behalf o f the tenners and urges similar organizations in six neighboring towns, Piqua,’ Sidney, Ur- bana, Troy, Van Wert and Cellita to take similar action. IL S.
