Editorial IMPORTANT How yon vote is your own pri­ vate and personal privilege— . yonr right and your choice. That yon make certain' to 'vo te is of national concern. A democracy can exist only by participation of its citizens in its affairs. At the last general election less than SO per cent of citizens eligible to vote took the opportunity to cast a ballot. Remember—voting is not only a privilege, it is a duty. A WAR IS A WAR Few persons look upon the Korean incident as a skirmis a.

BUTTER Remember the butter vs. oleo squabble, and how the butter folks predicted oleo would put them out of business—colored tha t is—and the oleo predictions th a t sales of oleo would increase about 50 per cent? Neither ms right, and both were quite wrong, Oleo sales ax*e up about 5 per cent, and butter .-ales are up more than that. TI’c? Wall Street Jpvrr.nl, the big butter er.-i egg r.",A-;v.pev. says so. What squabblers we folks are! NEW TAXES Don’t shrug your shoulders and Imagine the new taxes are going to m;?r poj. They are not. They are going to kit yon right :r. your pocketbook.

So are: corporation taxes, and tha t means higher prices for everything to everybody. OHIO IS BUILDING Figures show that Ohio’s ex­ penditures for schools and high­ ways was up 50 per cent over 1947. Highways cost more than any other item of state expense. And still the roads are fa r from perfect. Many are not even good. Prices of material and labor have increased terrifically since the war. In 1949 it is predicted tha t the largest item on building e x­ pense by the state will be for* school houses and public hospit­ als and state in.-tituii.-ns. LAND BOOM? Predicters are busy foretell­ ing a boom in the price of land. With war much nearer than the rumor stage, and with commodit­ ies zooming higher and higher all the time, prophets who fore­ tell profits insist tha t land prices will go up. A farm over in Clin­ ton county recently sold fo r $225 an acre—a large farm too. One thing is certain—the farmers who bought land a t fabulous prices in the 2 Q’s and saw its value de­ cline to a fraction of what they paid for i t won’t buy any high- priced land without paying cash fo r it. CONFIDENCE A high-up in WDC resigned Be­ cause he didn't have confidence in the top-drawer men of the de­ partment. His doubts increase ours. JEFFERSON SAID In 1800, before he became pres­ ident, Thomas Jefferson wrote 1,0 a friend. Among other -.laui- ’ ho said this: “I said to President WaAiingtr n that if the equilibrium of the three great bodies—legislative, executive, and judiciary—could be preserved, if the legislature could be kept independent, I should never fea r the resultof such a government; but th a t 1 could not but be uneasy when I saw that the executive had swal­ lowed up the legislative branen. "When all government, domes­ tic and foreign in little as m great things, shall he drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one gov­ ernment on another, and will be­ come as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated.” We wish the great democrat were here to say again, «s fbrd&fully and as effectively as he said things like that during his very active and very patriotic me-.

HARPER Using tbe Bible „ Lesson, for October 15: Psalms 19: 7-11; Acts 8: 26-35 Memory Selection: Psalms 119 : 11 T HE BIBLE has one grand pe­ culiarity that distinguishes it from all other books—it is a reve­ lation of God to men. In the 19th Psalm we find a comparisoa be­ tween natural law and spiritual law. The will of God'preserves a uniformity throughout the universe. So does the law of God for the soul seeks man’s highest good. Thus the Bible not only reveals God’s will to men; It also shows that through obedience to that will man can at­ tain vinto the highest life. The Bible Is mighty in evangeliz­ ing men* Philip the deacon brought a great awakening to the people of Samaria by preaching of the things that would by and by be included in the Bible as the New Testament. Afterward, on the way to Gaza, Philip brought the Ethiopian eu­ nuch to faith in Christ by his in­ terpretation of a passage from Isaiah. Tha Bible is a great testimony to Christ Matthew evidently wrote chiefly for Jewish readers. He de­ sired to show them that Jesus came in fulfillment of prophecy. Many things in the life and min- -iry of Jesus he connected with the -p*:’c?’ons of the prophets. Thus • - Matthew prove that Jesus .me as the long-promised Mes­ siah. So may we read the great Book as our guide to daily living and the record of God’s gift to men in Christ. Jesus invited men, as they, thought in the Scriptures to find eternal life. larger and heavier with increased power, but in the main the idea was muck the same as the origin- cm-.

BROWN Writ* With a Buckeye Jn Congress' Look for selective price con­ trols to be pu t in force soon afte r the election without accompany­ ing wage controls, as the con­ trols act seems to provide and congress intended. Some of the clever legal experts of the Tru­ man administration are said to have found language in the law which will permit them to make the interpretation th a t the presi­ dent has the power to put on price controls if there is evidence of sharp price increases, without a t the same time freezing wages in the industries effected. Those us­ ually in on th e “know” in Wash­ ington are also predicting the president will permit wage in­ creases i» several industries, such as steel, before freezing prices of commodities produced in such industries, with control of prices coming before the wage increase is reflected in selling prices. The same vote-geting tactics were used by the Roosevelt administra­ tion in World War 11. The labor government of Great Britain has suggested* the United States make both grants and loans £or British rearmament, but the Truman administration is giving he cold shoulder to the grant or gift idea, simply be­ cause congress will not go along with it.

Riser Camryn of Seattle, Wash.: “I remember when we went to the wooda for nuts in the fall—mostly black walnuts—and how we prepared them for winter. By removing the hull and pounding them through the proper-sized knot hole or one bored through a plank. Then nailing a cleat on the slop­ ing barn roof, and placing them one by one behind It to dry and cure. And the stained hands we had for a long time afterward. Most of the. boys in school had ’em.” From Maria J. Chubb of Chicago: “I remember the good sponge candy we used to buy as children at candy kitchens or in school stores. We paid a penny for a bag. I sure wish I had some now!” THEN From the Bev. Robert E . Oughton of Kirkwood, Mo.; “I’m not much of an old-timer, but I remember when women used to raise children instead of poodle dogs.” From Mary Stewart of Chicago to Mrs. Minnie Cox: Do you remem- * ben “Won’t You Come Over in My .Yard,” “She’s Only a Bird in a Gilded Gage,” “Molly, I and the Baby” or “Down Went McGinty to the Bottom of the Sea” ?

H e had been given the responsibility of di­ recting th e work of several men and women. The nature o f the work was very exacting; even a small m istake could cause considerable trouble and be the means o f creating a good deal o f ex­ pense for the employer. He w as rather young and, as he says, possibly a b it over-zealous, and since he h im self was a conscientious worker, more or less o f a “perfectionist,” he soon devel- ’ oped into a^rather strict man. Everything had to be done ju st the right way* and in - Carnegie variably th e right way was the way he wanted it done. He allow ed no leew ay. When a mistake occurred, he didn’t hesitate to le t the perpetrator know how h e fe lt about it and how the company officials would fee l about it. H e always ended h is remarks w ith “and w e don’t want it to occur again.” Then he went about his own duties w ith no thought o f how it affected the em­ ploye. I t wasn’t long before he was recognized as a very unpopular person. Naturally! But, fortunately, it wasn't long either before O liver Simms realized h is lack o f popularity. He didn’t fee l he had a real friend in th e place. H e w as an in telligen t mah; he knew that no one can work long among a group o f people if th ey are not his friends. H e began to take stock o f him self. Then h e recalled the golden rule. Remember it? In case you don’t, here it is: “Do Unto Others as You Would Have Others Do Unto You,” Was h e treating h is fellow workers the way he would w an t to ho treated? He, too, had made m istakes; he, too, s o doubt, would make others, no m atter how conscien­ tious he w as. \ I t took a little tim e to correct the situation he had created, but not so long as maybe you would think, for people are quick to respond tq kindness, tinderstanding and sympathetic interest.

There is every indi­ cation. the dollar’s value In the market place will continue to de­ cline as governmental actions now being taken or contemplated to control inflation are not ex­ pected to stop or reverse the trend. During World War II the Uni­ ted States was-the only great power to draft college sudents majoring in science and research. Even Hitler Germany, desperate for manpower, exempted their “future scientific brains.” Now General Hershey of the National selective service system is at it again, and Stuart .Symington, chairman of the national security resources board, has protested. Either the president or the con­ gress will probably have to make the final decision. It was pledged by President Roosevelt, when Ale selective service system was ■es­ tablished prior to World War that it would always be under civilian control. It took all of 90 days for the military to take over and to establish General Her- shey as selective service direc­ tory—and the military has had its way ever since, alfcho civilians are used as members of local draft boards, more or less to take the “heat” off, while policy de­ cisions are made a t the top by Hershey and the “high brass.” Regardless of rumors to the contrary, gasoline and heating oil supplies will remain adequate, unless World War III develops. However, there is a shortage of aviation gasoline, and the octane rating for high-test gasoline for motorists will soon -be cut slight­ ly. Tires will continue plentiful, but' will contain more synthetic and less natural rubber. Don’t be surprised if General Dwight Eisenhower is named as the new commander of all Al­ lied .forces in Europe. He is the one man upon whom most all the Atlantic pact nations can agree. Acceptance of this new assign­ ment would take Eisenhower out of consideration for the Repub-. lican presidential nomination for 1952. The Kefauver committee of the senate, set up for the special purpose of investigating crime, has been holding hearings on crime and racket conditions in a number of the large cities of the nation. However, the’ testimony has all been taken in secret ses­ sion behind closed doors and *s not expected to be made public before the election. The reason— practically all of the cities af­ fected have Democratic officials, and close tie-ups between the criminal element and officialdom have been, indicated. * There have been so many A- mercian dollars flowing into Canada since the Korean Inva­ sion that the Canadian dollar may soon be placed back on par value with the American dollar. Ninety- one Uuited States cents will buy a Canadian dollar, which may oe •worth 100 cents soon. Then too Canadian investments are at­ tractive because of high earn­ ings and lower taxes. For instance there is no capital gains or ex­ cess profits -tax in Canada. The first ten thousand dollars of a Canadian corporation’s net h - come is taxed a t 15 per cent and' all in excess thereof 38 per cent. More and' more reserve offi­ cers—navy, marine, air forcg and army—even including chose in the inactive reserve—will oe called to service in the next few weeks or months. Consideration will he given to deferment i,v reserve'officers, who are heads of families or engaged in essen­ tial industry. Recent victories in Korea have resulted in a break in many com­ modity prices here, in the United States. Crude rubber, wool, cot­ tons, leather, sugar, hogs, some lumber, and many other commod­ ities have dropped in price since since he Inchon landing. Howev­ er, most economists predict the commodity price will be only temporary. A system or priorities to as­ sure the channeling of certain WASHINGTON REPORT 1 BY SENATOR ROBERT A . TAFT |7 0R twelve years I have represented the people of the State of h*’ Ohio in the Senate of the United States. I have =,ried to rep­ resent the real interest of all the different groups that make up the population of Ohio, including its great agricultural interests. Ohio is a great agricultural state,, the fifth in the" hation, and agriculture is one of its greatest industries. I have kept in con­ stant touch with the Ohio farmers$> and their representatives. I have had a port in all the constructive legislatidjf in which the farmer has been con- arrned. .1 have taken particu­ lar interest in soil conserva­ tion and the soil conserva­ tion practices which have cer­ tainly increased production for the farmer on many of the farms I have visited I have boon, interested in the support of the cooperative movement, be­ cause it seems to me that one of the farmer’s greatest handicaps is the fact ’that there are several million farmei-s, each a separate small producer, and he has to buy from and sell to much larger busi­ ness units. This disadvantage can only be overcome by cooperative action. Contrary to the direct lies put out by the C.I.O.-P.A.C., which is really running my opponent’s campaign, I have also suported the REA cooperatives ever since I have been in the Senate. I helped the South Central Rural Electric Cooperative to acquire the generating station of Ohio Midland at Canal Winchester at a cost of $2 million. I have been willing to support loans for REA generating plants whenever pri­ vate power is inadequate, or when power cannot be bought from private companies at rea­ sonable prices. Last year I secured an amend­ ment to help^ the Ohio Farm Bureau secureloans for the con­ struction of'modern cooperative elevators to take the place of the Government’s steel storage bins which now dot the Ohio landscape and in which Ohio corn and wheat will almost certainly spoil. * * V I believe in, and have sup-, ported, reasonable price support programs, but I have opposed, the Brannan Plan. In this whole field 1 have worked with the., officers of the American Farm Bureau Federatjsnrind the offi­ cers of the National; Grange, The Brannan MsiNpromises the farmer high prices =md the con­ sumer low price;. I t j s a fraud on its face because, itrsays nothing about 'the taxes/ required to pay the difference. Yel'those taxes will have to be paid, by the farmers and the consumers, in, short, they are getting a bill from the Gov­ ernment- for the benefits that they are supposed to receive, and into that bill will be added the salaries of thousands of employees of the Department of Agriculture to ad­ minister the__plah. The Brannan ’Plan, with its 100 percent guarantee, forces produc­ tion controls not only for crops but for cattle, sheep, hogs, and even chickens. J.n England, where the Labor Government has com­ plete control, i t takes a farmer’s farm away from him and operates it if he won’t follow: .the rules. * 3 -! But the farm prise problem is one which requires. special ^con­ sideration because,, again, the farmer is subjectia-such tremen­ dous hazards in weather, in un­ controllable production, and in widely fluctuating free markets. It sgems to me fchal the Govern­ ment must step ;in “/hen farming prices get out of line-with all'other prices. The resustis^ decrease in the farmer’s inesma is not only unfair to the farmed' but is likely to throw many iadsstrial workers out of work and-bring about a serious depression.- I supported the Hope-Aiken Bill, which Secrei-ry Brannan and President Truman approved until they found f t politically advisable to ;:tta. k the 80th Congress and th;;.

All con- surriers, outside of Uiose engaged 1JTAVE YOU EVER NOTICED AA how often adopted children resemble their foster parents? Of course, under modern agency procedure the physical and mental characteristics of each child and adopting couple are as carefully matched as possible. But beyond this, mannerisms, attitudes, spon­ taneous reactions often make uni­ formed observers exclaim, “Why, he’s the image of his father, isn’t he?” This capacity for imitation leads us to expect that children will be like their parents—even in deficiencies. We shrug our shoulders at Jane’s low spell­ ing grade and say, “Well, her mother never c o u l d spell either.” Jane has probably heard these words many times, and it may be this pronounce­ ment rather than any inherited I Inability that Is responsible for her difficulty. Some parents constantly underrate their chil­ dren, forgetting that just as a son grows in height to tow­ er over his lather, many sons eventually surpass their par­ ents in mental growth. It’s just as dangerous, of.course, to overrate a child. Imagine how terrifying it must be to a mediocre student to know his parents have already registered him in a big name college and cherish hopes of seeing him graduate with honors. Not content with normal family likenesses, we make subtle efforts to make our children more like our­ selves. A man who is mechanically inclined is apt to try to pry a quiet son away from constant book read­ ing. Conversely, a scholarly father cannot help feeling his boy is wasting time puttering with wires and screws. These disapproving at­ titudes on the part of the parents won’t change a child’s nature, but they can be damaging to his secu­ rity. Teen-agers, especially, are apt to feel crushed when the weight of parental disapproval is adfled to overly harsh self-condemnation. A school teacher overheard an adoles­ cent girl telling her friend, “The trouble with me is that I’m the kind of person my mother doesn't want me to assoicate with.” This does not mean that en­ thusiasms and worthwhileness of certain human relationships cannot be communicated by example. The pleasure Mother and Dad get from reading aloud to each other after dinner Is the best possible learning stim­ ulus to the children. And a father who bounds eagerly up the walk to be welcomed by Mother’s “How good_ to have you home,” accomplishes more t o w a r d giving children a . healthy, joyously reverent at­ titude toward marriage than would any number of lectures on the subject. We all know homes which fairly buzz with hobby activity. It is in such an atmosphere that children develop exciting new interests and often reveal totally unsuspected gifts. But don’t be disappointed if they bear little resemblance to those talents you hoped your child would have! in the production of war supplies are now on an equal footing. * Much stiffer credit control reg­ ulations are said to be in the making, which will call for higher down payments on veal estate and all other long-term loans.
