SMITH IS,,FOR HERRICK

DR.. A. e. Smith is president Of the
Ohio Northern University at Ada. He
is a strong man and a staunch Re-
publican. He has never been known
to stoop or approve petty politics.
He has announced that he will vote
for Myron T. Herrick for United
States Senator This is a surprise
in big political circles. Politicians
do not understand it. Willis and his
wrecking crew have been working
with Daugherty.
Wise ones shake their heads and
say that President Smith and Will
lis are no longer OF the same poll
tical mind 1t is a well known fact
that Ada has ceased to get red in the
face for Willis.
President Smith is no longer work.
ing his head off to boost the politi-
cal fortunes of the dIscredited gov
ernor. The vote on the referendum
at Ada in 1915 showed that Willis
was no longer a fayorite there.
r. Smith would not be a party to
deals with brewers fer political ad-
vantage. He is asking every one of
his friends to vote FOR Herrick both
in the primary next August and in
the November election. This will be
a big jolt to Mary r.. Lee who has
given orders to the wreck crew to put
Daugherty across for Senator-Ot-

DEMOCRATS
More in Years Than Re-
pubIicans Did in 40, Says Former
Republican Cabinet Officer

From the Indianapolis News, April 26.l
Hon. Leslie M. Shaw former Secre-
tary of the Treasury, says
Il have no hesitancy in admitting
grave doubts whether the Republican
Party can, even if it should try, and
also whether. it ought to try to de-
feat the party now in power upon an
issue of excoriation because it has
failed to accomplish in four years
what we failed to do in forty years.
If we have a small and inadequate
army and navy, the Republican Party
is 80 per cent. responsible for its in
efficiency, for the Republican Party
has been in power 80 per cent of the
last half century If our coast de-
fenses are silly, l sucmit it does not
lie in the mouth of the Republican
Party to say much about It, Let the
next administration be a business ad-
ministration, and while preparing for
peace let it also do what we all agree
should be done-prepare for eVentu-
alities that may ensue."

TRIBUTARY AMERICA

The New York legislature and the
United States congress are kinder to
the government of Great Britain than
to the American people. They man
age so that Baron Astor, formerly
William Waldorf Astor, pays into the
British treasury $1,6S0,O0O in taxes
derived from his New York tenants.
In regard to this matter the Chica-
go Tribune, in its issue of April z,
states with truth:
Baron Astor has no just claim to
an income from the United States.
He does nothing for this country. He
is being paid for the cleverness and
activity of his ancestors and their
associates"
Astor is taking advantage of the
negligence, or worse, of American
law makers. He is legally appropr1-
ating ground rent that rightfully be-
longs to the people of New York
Every dollar of this should go into
the treasures of New York City, New
York State and the United States.
But rather than deprive Astor or
what belongs to the American people
American legislators impose burden
some taxes on American labor. The
British government is taking from
him but a small part of what ought
to have been taken for the public use
in the treasury of the United States.
Baron Astor is by no means the
only one drawing an income that
should be going into the public treas
ury His cousin, Vincent Astor, is
doing the same thing. The fact that
Vincent has not become an English
man does not make the tribute which
he levies any the less an injury to
the American people. And the same
applies to every private individual,
American citizen cor foreigner, who
appropriates to his own use land val
ues created by the people. Because
these values are privately appropri-
ated, heavy taxes for public purposes
are levied upon labor Thus wealth
producers are forced to pay second
time in taxes what they have already
paid in ground rent to private land
lords.
The legislators have not the eX
cuse of ignorance for allowing the
state of affairs. In New York there
has been represented TO each succeed
ing legislature for many years,
bill to allow the people of New York
City TO vote on the matter of slightly
relieving labor from taxation and
taking a little more of the unearned
income of the Astors and others.
This bill has been continually defeat
ed. This year legislative commit
tee, headed by Senator Ogden L. Mills
refused to recommend relief of labor.
Senator Mills, himself beneficiary
of the unjust laws that give unearn-
ed wealth TO the Astors, would not
tolerate the slightest lessening OF
that iniquity.
The American people must wake
up. Their most dangerous enemy is
the group of privileged interests and
their legislative tools, who uphold
the system that puts publicly earn
ed wealth into private pockets.

ANNUAL INCREASE IN TRIBUTE

What is the annual increase in
land values of the United States.
The question is answered by Basil
M. Manly, who wrote the report of
the Commission on Industrial Rela-
tions, which our predatory interests
would like to have suppressed
Mr.. Manly, in course of a series
of articles on the income tax, de-
clares that it amounted to six billion
dollars in the year 1910, and to eight
billion dollars in 1914. Yet this
enormous increase is almost entirely
absent from returns under the in
come tax. The land monopolists are
lodging.
The increment of six billion dollars
in land values means an increase in
ground rent of about three dollars
per head or SIS per family for the
United States. Eight billion dollars
increase means an increase of $40 a
year tribute levied on the average
American family by the landlords.
Then instead of requiring the land
lords to turn this tribute into the
public treasury for public use, the
government compells the renters to
pay taxes on labor and labor pro-
ducts.
1t is time that the workers bestir-
red themselves to put an end to this

STILL SIGHT FOR OLD TIMES

Some days ago state auditor A. V.
Donahey made sale of crude oil
from state lands at a top notch price.
By holding the oil until the price
went up Vic Donahey produced
profit of $4,000 for the state. A
few papers like the Mansfield News
fell for Willis dope and took a crack
at Vic for making this money for the
state. They said: "We think the
people would approve the good old
way of handling the peoples prop
erty along conservative lines.
Whereupon the state auditor is NOV
ed to recount what the good old way
was. 1t seems that in the good old
days politicians robbed the treasury
while officials helped and campaign
contributing corporations looted the
school lands. Since auditor Dona-
hey took hold the robbers and the
looters have been heaueu off and the
school land products have turned oy
er a profit of $4,000.

THE CONSIDERABLE POLICY

Colonel Roosevelt says President
Wilson invites war by his timid pol
icy, but there are many, very many
people who think that he invites
peace by his cautious and consider
ate policy. If these people were not
in a majority we would probably
have had a war long ago. The pres
ident is consulting the wishes of the
people and he finds they are in per-
feet accord with his own views. 1t
is fortunate that we have that kind
of president in these perilous times.
The ordianry issues of politics don't
figure these days, and the paramount
object is to keep the country out of
war, if it is possible to do so. Thus
far the president has found it posst-
Bile, and the universal prayer is that
he will keep it up. When this coun-
try goes to war, it wants to do so for
some real raeson and not on frivolous
and capricious grounds. This repub-
lie is too great to be touchy and
boastful.-Ohio State Journal.

A BUSINESS PRESIDENT

President Wilson probably will be
best known in history as the author
Of the higher moral law of nations.
His name will be written large in the
record of progress Of Industrial JUS
tice. 1t was the friend of these on
the lower rungs of the ladder that
came to the White House.
Yet, in giving justice to labor, in
bringing about a more equitable dis
trbiution of taxation, relieving of
their burden those most unable to
bear it, and widening the field of OPP
portunity for the younger men, he
has been successful in bringing to
the United States it sgreatest era of
prosperity.
There are 25O,OOO corporations in
the country, in addition to the bank
ing and railroad corporations. None
of these corporations has been har-
assed or hampered in their success
full progress. On the contrary,
through the Federal Trade Commits
sion, new facilities and new business
improvements have heen placed at
their disposal
The business men of the country,
for many years have been demand
ing a tariff commission that would
be non-partisan and whose makeup
and character would commend itself
to the confidence of the business
world.
The United States Chamber OF
Commerce, representing all the
chambers of commerce and trade
bodies of the United States, has for
mally approved of the administra-
tons tariff commission bill, intro
duced by Congressman Rainey, of
Illinois.
Recently the report of the Comp
trOller of the Currency showed that
the reserves in the national banks of
the country were greater than the
reserves in the Bank of England, the
Reichsbank of Germany, the Bank
of France, the Bank of Russia, the
Bank of the Netherlands, the Swiss
National Bank and the Bank of ia
pan-greater than all the reserves of
those foreign banks together. These
reserves are the wealth of the Amer
ican people accumulated in large
measure since the advent of the Will
son administration.
The accumulation of the gold in
the United States has reached the
value of $2,OOO,OOO,OOO, a greater
amount than ever held previously
by any two nations together.
America has reached its highest
point of prosperity and efficiency un-
der President Wilson. Industrial
justice has been advanced without
hurt or hindrance to business pros
perity. Wages have reached the
highest point in the history of the
world.
Four years more of President Will
sons leadership will mean four years
more of steady progress and prosper
ity.

4 LAW OF GREAT IMPORTANCE

Here is a mighty pointed news
story from the Georgetown News
Democrat concerning the Cass> Road
law, which the good young COVER
nor's publicly maintained publicity
bureau calls a law of great impor-
tance"
THE preposterousnes of the Cass
highway law received further expose
Tuesday when a representative of
well known company furnishing sup
plies was before the county commits
sioners. The gentleman stated that
his work took him into forty-four
Ohio counties, where, meeting with
the county commissioners, he had OPP
portunity of seeing what was going
on. He told of one county where he
found that twelve assistants were
lowering about the county highway
superintendent office drawing sal
airy. In another he had found that
an order had been placed without
consulting the county commissioners
for $4,000.
In some counties, the commission
ers, like in this county, had refused
to employ assistants and that there
was deplorable condition of affairs.
He stated that one time he was en-
gagged in the civil engineering busi-
ness and he had learned that the only
qualification to be an assistant engi-
neer was ability to carry surveyors
chain. He had been attending coun-
ty road meetings wherever possible
and said that from what he gathered
from the speakers sent out by the
state highway department that what
was wanted yet was more money
from the people and more power for
the representatives named to look
after its orders.
He here dwelt long enough to say
that the trouble all laid in the state
highway department, where economy
should be practiced first. That if
this was done then a Curbing of coun-
ty expenditure could be made. The
state department has an opinion now
from the attorney general which
makes compulsory the payments of
expense accounts created by the
county superintendents. These Off
cials must meet with the township
trustees and the bill left for this
with the local county commissioners
for the month of April amounted to
$3.50.
1T is not the intention of the
News-Democrat to place any blame
upon any official OF officials for en-
deavoring to follow this legislative
monstrosity, but it is our mission to
point, as we have all along done, that
it is the crowning sheaf of the de-
Capitalization movement of the Will
lis administration. What it will cost
the people in maneuvering, as this
authority has pointed above, before
it can be reached for repeating, is
beyond the estimation of people who
know the possibilities provided un-
der its far-reaching provisions"

SOMETHING ANS JOHN

For twenty-five years Mr., John
Begg has posed as the friend of the
farmer and farmers wife. AS a
Granger he Is bound to give same
consideration TO the wife as to the
husband, II he We're free to follow
the distates of his own conscience un-
doubtedly he would show respect for
the farmers wife In his official posi-
ton.
But the public mind of Ohio has
become to believe that the State
Board of Agriculture, of which Mr.,
Begg is President, is used as part
of the political machine of the Willis
wreck crew.
The board must obey orders no
matter how much il may humilate
the ten members.
Mrs. Nesbitt was employed by the
State to promote Civic improvement
in Ohio. She lived on farm She
is a farmers wife. She has endur-
ed all the hardships that go with ac-
tual farm life, She was competent,
There is no person in Ohio or any
other state better fitted for the work
she was doing.
What happened when the Agricul-
ture board went into politics?
Mrs. Nesbitt is the daughter of a
Civil War veteran. He Is a staunch
Republican. He was serving his
country on the battlefield before
Willis was born. He has an honor
able record as a citizen, as a soldier,
and as a Republican,
Orders came that Mrs. Nesbitt, the
Farmers Wife" should be fired and
City Lady hired to take her place.
What did Mr. Begg do when these
orders came. His Board agreed to
hire the "City Lady" to look after
the farmers girls. Mrs Nesbitt was
discharged. The daughter of the
Old Soldier was dismissed by the or
ders of the wreck crew.
Mr. Begg should have resigned be-
fore he became party to such in
fanny. He above every other mem
Der of that Board should have stood
by the Farm wife instead of the city
lady.
There is no reflection cast on the
City. Lady. She no doubt is doing
good work. But for a quarter Of a
century Mr.. Begg has been paid to
stand before audiences and proclaim
MS lIltuuhulD lOI ldIHl lOlhos llN
should be heartily ashamed of him
self every time he faces country au-
dience in the future. Mrs. Nesbitt
belongs to the same political party
that Begg and the wreck crew do.
Willis aims to appoint only those
who will take his orders and do what
dirty work there is TO be done. The
State of Ohio would have applauded
Mr. Begg if he had shown backbone
courage and saved the Agriculture
Board from the disgrace that has
come to it.
If Mrs. Nesbitt was not desirable
to the board, some farm wife could
certainly been found to take her
place.
None of the other Board members
have ever stood before the public and
pretended to be the friend of the
farm wife as Begg has done. He
seems to have been willing to lay
aside all his conscience and self re-
spect and play the game of the cheap
john politicians who give orders. No
excuses or apologies will relieve Mr..
Begg for having double-crcssed the
Farmers Wife.
Mrs. Nesbitt now holds a position
in Indiana at $500 per year.-Otta-
wa Sentinel.
