BROWN Member o f Congress Twelve million Americans now paying Federal income taxes will be exempt from such tax in *46 under the provisions p f the so-called “ quickie” ■ tax bill, approved by the Congress and sent to the President last week. Oth­ er individual taxpayers will have their income taxes' reduced by three percentage points in each bracket, plus a five percent over-all cut on the total amount of tax due. The war­ time corporation excess profits tax is to be eliminated as o f . January 1st, while normal corporation taxes will be reduced by four percentage points for small corporations and by two percen­ tage points for corporations with pro­ fits o f more than fifty thousand dol­ lars. The capital stock tax on corpor­ ations has been entirely elimiated, while tbe $5 dollar automobile use tax due July'1st each year, has also been abolished The total reduction in rev­ enues as a result o f Jhe new bill has been estimated by Treasurq officials as five billion nine hundred dollars, but most economists believe the tax cuts will prove such an incentive to business expansion that total taxable income will increase and the actual .loss in revenue will be less than the figure fixed by the Treasury. use available-shipping to return vet­ erans home fo r discharge than it is to put on Navy Day celebrations. Andrew J. Higgins, the New Orleans boat building wizzard who made such large contributions to campaign funds for the reelection o f President Roose­ velt, last week announced the closing down o f his ship yards, and the stop­ page o f all construction o f pleasure craft and other vessels for the post­ war period,, because o f his inability to carry on in peace-time under present labor laws and government regula­ tions. .Higins insists it is impossible to operate at a profit under present New Deal restrictions—and it is evident he has been entirely disillusioned. The House has passed and sent to the Senate a joint resol ution appro­ priating the remaining five hundred and fifty million douuars due on the o- riginal pledge of the U. S. to contrib­ ute a total o f one billion three hundred and fifty . million dollars to-the U- nited Nations Relief and Rehabilita­ tion Administration. All the other great powers signing the treaty es­ tablishing UNRRA have made their promised contributions in full, with the exception of Russia, Notwith­ standing the dissatisfaction which was expressed on- the Floor of the House withithe way UNRRA has function the Membership believed it necejs fo r the United States to live up to it obligation by contributing the b. due Under the" original agret m <. the vote was 339 to 17. However, t action was not taken until after the House had adopted* over vigorous Ad­ ministration opposition, the Brown a- mentment, prepared by your humble servant, prohibiting the expenditure of any American funds in any country which refused to give free access to the news.or proper use o f facilities to representatives o f the press and radio o f the United States for reporting back to America the way UNRRA op­ erations are carried on and American funds contributed thereto! are spent. The so-called Byrd Committee o f the Senate, which has been making a study of possible economics in the Fed­ eral government, has just made a re­ port to the President pointing out there are more than thrc.e million six hundred thousand civilians now on the payroll, with many government ser­ vices being duplicated in dozens, o f a- gencies having jurisdiction over simi­ lar matters. In fact, the Committee discloes all sorts o f waste and extrav­ agance In the Federal Government with duplication o f effort and general Confusion so great as to make neces­ sary a thorough-going reorganization o f the entire government structure. As more and more testimony and in­ formation are given to the Congress, the feeling is growing on Capitol Hill, that the greatest hope o f future na­ tional security rests in an early at­ tempt to get. international agreement to control or outlaw tbe Use o f atomic bombs in warfare, and in the contin­ ued attempt to get a world organiza­ tion for the preservation of peace firmly established and fully function­ ing. The coming conference between President Truman, Prime Minister King o f Canada, and Prime Minister Tttlee o f Great Britain on the atomic bomb problem to be held here in Wash­ ington' within,the next feW days, will be o f the utmost importance. No Congressional action will be taken on the atomic bomb subpect until after the conference has been completed.^ The display o f United Stales Naval power in various American seaports on Navy Day was pleasing to many spectators and may have had a strong effect oil other nations,, but it also brought fo r the Truman administration and Navy Department heads respon­ sible for the demonstration an unlim­ ed amount o f criticism’ from the’ arm­ ed forces. Prom all over the world letters o f complaint have been pour­ ing in on Congressional offices from "high point* men in our fighting forces stranded in foreign countries because o f lack o f transportation. These m en - as well* sms their families at home are insisting it.is far more important to Power o f an Idea.” The embryo journ­ alists were advised by the speaker that success in life consists not in the mon­ ey one can make but rather in the j building of a character, i The founda­ tion, of character is to be found in the .knowledge that comes from science, literature the Bible, and the common virtues, honesty, integrity, fair play, decency and the like. The clinic was held at Xenia Central High. Butter, on which ration point values have been dropped, went up in price from five to six cents a pound, on Nov. 1st, due to ending o f government sub­ sidy payments. All during the war, when there was full employment at high wages, an<J war workers had plenty o f money, the Federal govern­ ment paid producers five cents per pound subsidy on butter in order' to hold down the price to the consumer. Now that the war is over, take-home pay has dropped, and there is consid­ erable unemployment, the subsidy payments are stopped and the price of butter permitted to go up to its nat­ ural level. Somehow or other it all does not seem to make sense. INFIRMARY BOND ISSUE (S DEFEATED I COLLEGE NEWS f i i tlllllllllllMlllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllfIMIIIIIIIIIIIIllllMIIIIIII* ■President Vayhinger represented- Cedarville College at the inaugura­ tion o f Dr. John Gordon Howard as he 15th president of Otterbein Col­ lege last Saturday. The academic orocession wa a very colorful one with :iear a hundred colleges represented. The main address was by ■President Kenneth Brown of Dennison Universi­ ty . Mrs. Vayhinger accompanied her husband. The vote on the county infirmary bond issue was quite a sprprise in some sectors of the county where an underhanded method of opposition de­ veloped to kill the bond issue. The result of the voting unofficial, count at this time was 3291 for and and 2429 against. The law requires a 65 percent majority, which was not forthcoming on the result. The vote did carry but with 327 short of the necessary percentage. Opposition developed a few days previous to the election from sources that had a selfish interest. Talk, about a county hospital, old age pensions and social security were the blind arguments1to defeat the is­ sue. It may be a long time before the opposition will be able to reap a re­ ward for what the campaign was in­ tended. . ._ Pouring tax money year after year info ah old building that, cannot be modernized is but a waste of public funds. In as much as the present building is not fire proof the aged and infirm are daily at the mercy o f the elements and a majority of the electors realized the danger avid vated to change con-, ditions. .

ORDER CLOVER SEED— Government estimates on red clover seed production indicate that farmers should put . in early orders if they want locally grown seed, which is oest adapted for Greene county farms, lhe red clover seed crop for the na­ tion is larger than last year but Ohio production is down. The estimate on Oct, 1 put Ohio red clover seed pro­ duction at 190,000 bushels as compar­ ed with a crop of 237,000 bushels last year. • FARM PRICES 19 PER CENT ABOVE PARITY— Farm produce prices are now 19 per cent above so— called parity levels. In­ dividual products range above and be­ low this average. Federal legislation now in existance provides that the price of major farm products shall not fall below 90 percent o f parity for a period of two years following January L after the end of the war. The war has not been officially declared ended. A decline of 90 percent o f parity cculd mean an average fall o f 25 per cent in the present price of farm pro­ ducts, assuming that the prices which farmers now pay fo r the products they purchase remain the same. Nine­ ty percent of parity would mean for wheat a price of $1.40 per bushel, corn $1 per bushel, and hogs$ 11.50 per hundred. , Legion Will Observe Armistice Day Sunday Sunday is Armistice Day!

'The ballots were impounded and all records taken to Xenia and officials notified to report at the board office at 9 A. M. Thursday when the count was to take place before the Board of­ ficials and two inspectors named by by the controling party committee executive chairmen. ' - When Chairman Earl Ritenour and deputy sheriff H E. Barnett arrived at the polls they found an unauthoriz­ ed inspector working on the poll books. It was reported the records were not complete and not in proper form. The nituation was said tohave been the outcome o f a hitter local con­ test on the adoption o f a charter form of government. The report was that Precinct West, defeated the charter plan by a Y0tj» of 191 to 161. One of the issues in the fight was that outsiders not taxpay­ ers were behind the campaign for the charter plan. Considerable ill feeling was the outcome o f the campaign. JAMESTOWN HAS A “ WRITE-IN” CAMPAIGN FOR MAYOR Charles Sharp was chosen mayor o f Jamestown over Vernon Stafford.
