NYSs S%M tentio n be-,
~ tween Spain,
France and England. Spain's
claim was based on the voyage
of De Soto up the Mississippi
!; river. France, through the ex-
I plorations of. La Sale from the
north and the early entry of
: French priests from Canada,
considered this territory theirs.
AS for England, She rested her
claims on the discovery Of North
America by the Cabots, and in
the charter granted to Virginia
included all the country lying
! to the. West.
The French were the first to
get a. foothold in Ohio, but the
English pioneers, who shortly
!. began to drift westward, firm
ly established their settlements
in the fertile Ohio valley. Af-
ter a: long period of warfare,
in which the Indians played a
leading part, the Northwest Ter
ritory was finally ceded to the
United States by the Treaty Of
Independence in 1888. And Vir-
ginia and other states, which
had laid claim to portions of
this region. turned over their
rights to the federal govern
ment.
The government of the North:
west Territory was formally
created by the ordinance of
1857. People from the East mi
grated into this territory in
such numbers that by 1903 Ohio
was taken into the Union as the
seventeenth state. The fourth
largest state in size Of popula-
ton, Ohio has "a electoral votes
for President, while in area,
with it's 41,040 square miles, it
ranks only thirty-fifth, which
shows how densely it is popu-
lated. 1t is noted as the state
Of Presidents. President Hard
ing makes the seventh Ohioan
to fill the presidential office.
The name Ohio is derived from
the Iroquois word O-hee-yo,
meaning beautiful river" It
was first applied by the Indi-
ans of the Five Nations to what
we now call the Allegheny riv-
er, Gne of the chief tributaries
of the Ohio. Gradually the
name came to include the whole
river, sometimes even being ap-
Piled to the Mississippi: Later
it was confined to the river be-
tween Pittsburg and Cairo, and
appropriately the first state
formed on it's northern bank
was named after it. Ohio Is
often called the Buckeye State
from its large number of horse
chestnut trees.

"I tried to get McKenzies version of the affair

This makes the matter a straight question of
veracity between Mr.. Howard and Mr.. Peacock. Mr..
Howard says that big business, as represented by
the National Industrial Conference board plan
ming to shoulder five six billion dollars worth of
taxes upon the common people, but that Mr.. Nc
Kenzie stopped them. Mr.. Peacock denies that any
change has been made in the essential plan of the
National Industrial Conference board, which is to

on large incomes. and make the consumer pay the

According to Mr.. Peacock, big business has "con-

Which do the readers of the Leader think is
right? .., IT..s -
Since our last issue the Leader has had another
letter from President Howard of the American
Farm Bureau federation in which he says:

GAS a result of the work of the National Indus
trial Conference board committee tentative report
was made in October. That is the report concern
ing which Mr.. Gregory's article was sent out. It
was merely report of progress and not of fnality.
After three days discussion the tentative report
was not adopted but the committee was instructed
to further consider the matter and issue final re-
port which understand is now in the hands of the
printers. This final report will be followed by an
other conference called by the National Industrial
Conference board, which may accept or reject or
amend the report ~

The Leader wishes to make only two COM
ments in regard to Mr.. Howards statement.
Mr.. Howard says that the report sent out by
Mr. Gregory was merely "a tentative report"
and that "the matter of information and
not of adopted policy" If it was not matter of
adopted policy why did Mr.. Gregory's report

Head Big Business Tax Denies
Claims Approval Of Farm Bureau Federation

Leader as stating that his organiza-

The nonpartisan leader., 1921-01-24

wa ZZ>IA was quoted in the last issue of the
MA Leader stating that his organiza-
|Ssv-asS8 tion had ."converted" wicked big busi-
c=1 ness, as represented in the National
Industrial Conference board, and had induced that
organization to give up it's plan of urging congress
to shift taxes from big business to the consumer.
The exact words that President Howard used
follows:
"The National Industrial Conference board is
powerful organization representing the large east
ern business interests When I learned this organ
ization was appointing committee on federal tax
alton to make exhaustive research and recommen-
dations took the liberty to ask that agriculture be
represented on the committee Just that much in
way of explanation of how it came about. Mr.. Nc
Kenzie has been in conference with the board since
April. At that time the whole thought Of the pow
erfu business interests of the country that our
national taxes, totaling five or six billions of dollars
every year, should be readusted that the burden
of taxation would be passed from those powerful
and wealthy interests and individuals and trans
ferred down to the consumer common citizen of
the country. Mr.. Mckenzie, in the beginning of
these deliberations practically the only person
who opposed such program and I want to tell you
at this time that he has the majority of that pow
erful committee with him recognizing that it is
wrong economic principle to transfer the burdens
of taxes to those least able to pay. We never can
estimate in dollars the services which Mr.. Nc
Kenzie has rendered and is rendering, but I
slider it, as 1 said, very great indeed"
When printed this statement by Mr.. Howard
we doubted whether Mr.. Mckenzie had really sue
ceeded in converting big business, Mr.. Howard
claims, especially in view of the fact that Mr. Nc
Kenzie made such claims himself. To get the
facts in the matter the Leader asked it's Washing
ton correspondent to look up the question and tell
exactly what the situation was. Following is
the report of Washington correspondent
"The National industrial Conference board held
a conference at New York on October 22-
49, as you know, and adopted tentative
program, which you are familiar with. 1 I

We are glad to say that one or
ganizer, who knew nothing about the
Gregory report until it was called to
his attention by a Lacquer at a
farmers meeting, is on the trail
after the truth. We quote the fol-
lowing letter verbatim:

"However, since that meeting the final ~

declares in favor of the repeal of the ex- -

position was lip opposition only. W
