BROWN Writes With a Buckeye In Congress As this column Is being writ­ ten the House is preparing for a show-down vote on the Admin­ istration’s Public Housing Bill. The final roll on the measure is expected to be close. Under the provisions o f the bill the Govern­ ment would be obligated to spend as much as 16 billion dollar’s, and the states and local communities as much as 6 billion, on a public housing. I f the measure becomes law 80 to 90 per cent o f the hous­ ing constructed will be in a doz­ en of the large cities o f the na­ tion, with but little construction in the smaller communities. As introduced the measure would cost Ohio taxpayers an estimated 1 billion 44 million dollars, or $134.00 for each man woman and child in the state. Based on the latest census figures, the cost of the proposed public housing pro­ gram to the people o f Champaign County would be approximately $3,32r>.942.00; for Clark county $13,402,444.00; Clinton County $3,305,000.00; for Fayette CCoun- ty $2,000,000.00; for Greene 35,- 000,000.00; for Logan County $3,005,000.00; for Madison Coun­ ty $2,735,000.00: for Union County $2,448,000.00; and for Warren County $4,211,000.00. The total cost to the people of the Seventh District would be §41- 478,070.00. H F L O A O M R A E M N S S S Claibourne-McDermott Co. Phone 2238 38} 1 N.

"Evan Your Camera Sav* CLICK* Open Monday Till 9 P. M» A NAME THAT STANDS FOR GOOD FURNITURE BUDGET PLAN AVAILABLE ADAIR’ S The American people should he alarmed over the ever-increasing cost of th Federal Government. The first sixteen appropriations to pass the House fo r the various departments, agencies and act­ ivities of the Federal Government fo r the coming fiscal year total §36,131,324,946.00. A p n r o p r i a - tion bills for the very same pur­ poses passed a year ago totalled means that for the coming fiscal year appropriations fo r the same purposes and activities have been increased by better than $6,203,- 000.00 over those fo r this year, which ends June 30th. In addit­ ion to the more than §36,000,000.- 00 already appropriated to run the Government fo r the year be­ ginning July 1st, contract auth­ orizations totalling §8,784,678,- 109.00 have been voted. During the coming year the Congress will have to make ^efficiency ap­ propriations to meet the cost of these contracts as they are car­ ried out. Government spending incomes continues to drop. Last year was ended with a Treasury surplus of §4.5 billion; this year there will be a deficit of around $1.5 billion, and next year a def­ icit of from §4.5 to §6.0 billion. As the Senate moves into its third week o f debate on the Ad­ ministration-sponsored Thomas' Bill to repeal the Taft-Hartley Act, it becomes more and more apparent that only moderating amendments to the present la­ bor law will be adopted. The bill as it passes the Senate will look very much like—if not exactly similar to— the labor bill intro­ duced by Senator Taft earlier in the session. An amendment to give the President power to seize and take over industries where strikes are in progress was re­ jected by the Senate last week. The rapid expansion o f the Fed­ eral Government and its many controls over the activities o f the American people in the past few years has clogged the Federal courts with litigation. In many jurisdictions it now takes many months, and even years, to. get cases adjudicated. To meet this situation the Congress last week was compelled to create a num­ ber o f new Federal Judgeships. Thus big government is becoming bigger. According to latest official Government reports four million Americans are now unemployed, while another four million are working only part time. The num­ ber o f unemployed is expected to reach six million, and perhaps more, by the end o f the year, while part-time employment will also grow. Unemployment com­ pensation is temporarily helping to meet the situation, but such payments last only a few months. Many Government officials are predicting the present recession will wear itself out by the Spring of 1950, with gradual recovery beginning in the Autumn o f next year. Others are fearful a fu ll- fledged depression may result, as world economic conditions are not good. In 1929 all welfare benefits paid A m e r i c a n citizens from all sources totaled §1,2 billion. Ten years later, in 1939,.the total was §2.9 billion. In 1949 it is estimated such benefits will total §13.1 bil­ lion. Congress has already had requests from the President and various Government departments to increase these benefits by sev­ eral billion dollars a year more. Secretary o f State Acheson is back in Washington from attend­ ing the Paris Conference of the Foreign Ministers o f the Four Great Powers. The Conference certainly was not a success. Neither was it a complete failure. The best that can be said of it is that the status quo in Europe lias been maintained, and that the passage o f time does strength­ en America’s position in world affairs. Another conference of the “ Big Four” is scheduled for some time this Fall. Congress moves out o f the Capitol July 1st so the present dangerous roofs o f the House camera shop , 31 W.

The House will meet in the Ways and Means Commit­ tee room o f the New House Of­ fice Building, and the Senate will return, to the original Senate chamber, for many years the Su­ preme Court room, in the old north wing of the Capitol. Lowell Fess Writes from the Legislature I f this General Assembly re­ mains in session much longer, don’t be surprised if a movement Is started for a constitutional a- mendment to limit the duration of the regular biennial session to ninety days. Several states have constitutional limitations like that. " When the Senate and House, adjourned: Thursday afternoon fo r the weekend to reconvene Monday night, we had put in our ninety-sixth legislative day since the present General Assem­ bly started work on January 3rd. Last week was the twenty-sixth week o f the session, and the most optimistic observers figure it will be mid-July before the mer- ry-go-round stops whirling. This week should be classed as quiet in the House delibera­ tions. On Monday night we pass­ ed a Senate bill providing for the disposition o f revenues be­ longing to the city of Cincinnati which accured to them from their foresight in. financing a railroad right following the Civil War op­ erating between that city and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Of course the city leases the proper­ ty fo r operation purposes, but the revenues have been a substan- ial support in their economy. Tuesday we passed legislation which attempts to equalize ap­ praisal .values on real property which can be o f much monetary value to Greene county. It is and has been fo r years one o f the most controversial questions per­ taining to the the collection o f taxes. It is current talk around the Legislatuhe that certain coun­ ties are materially undervalued in comparison with others. I f this is true, and since each coun­ ty is the unit for taxation pur­ poses, it must follow that the county under-valued benefits in the distribution o f state subsid­ is e s . This is particulary notie- able in school districts, many of which have taxable property in two or more counties. Since the mandatory levy of four and one- half mills enters into the com­ putation o f school money paid by the state, it’s certainly true that the property inequitable ap­ praised puts a heavier load on the highly appraised property. This particular legislation is ^radically the same as has been in effect fo r years, with the im­ position o f 50% reduction in state’s subsidies to those coun­ ties which refused to cooperate, with the State Bc~ri " f Tax Ap*‘ peals. I supported this legislation; There is a strong possibility of a state-wicfce tax levy to pro­ tect the payment o f the bonus bonds. If we maintain our present plan o f expenditures for subsid­ ies and other government opera­ tions as now constituted, new taxes are just around the comer. Whether these new taxes are hid­ den or indirect, or whether they are open, direct taxes, remain for you, the citizens Jo decide. I f you should decide on direct, open levies, you most certainly will approve equalizing values over the state. On Wednesday the Ohio Sen­ ate virtually closed the door on the enactment o f a Fair Employ­ ment Practices Commission by the rejection of the Senate- House Conference Committee re­ port recommending a compul­ sory Fair Emnloyment Practice program. Six Democrats sided with eleven Republicans on the twelfth poll call on a six-hour hectic session to refuse, by a vote of 13-17, to accept the com­ mittee report which consisted of a greatly watered-down bill.
