now known as the King bill, because
of its introduction by Representative
Charles G. King of Massillon.
The fake stock salesman has been
preying upon practically every class
of individual in the state for the last
five years and finally he turned to
the home-Owner and the prospective
home-owner," declared James A. De-
vine, secretary of the Ohio Building
Association League. He told members
of the legislature that the record of
building and loan companies had beer
such during the last 30 years that il
was very easy for INSCRIPTIONS sales
man to go out and sell stock to the
unsuspecting public in promOtional
building and loan companies.
Mr.. Devine, in commenting on the
new building and loan law, declared
that the legislature had made it i'm
possible for promoters to fleece the
people of Ohio out of millions of dol
lars through the sale of promotional
building and loan stock. 'If we had
permitted promoters to flood the state
with hastily organized building and
loan companies, we might have had
serious situation" declared Mr.. De-

SUGAR TRUST MANIPULATION

Another week has passed, and the
national administration has done
nothing to end the gouging of the
American people by the Sugar Trust.
Housewives are still paying 10 or
II cents a pound for sugar which
should be selling frely for cents a
pound, or less.
No one questions the accuracy of
Basil Manly's claim that the sugar
profteers are robbing American sugar
consumers of S15,000,000 a week, but
no one in authority acts on Mr.. Man
ly's suggestions as to how the rob
bing may be ended.
Instead, everyone in a position to
do something-including President
Harding, Secretary Hoover, and At
torney General Daugherty-is en-
gagged in the ancient game of pass
ing the buck"
The President has asked the Tariff
Commission to make an investigation
to determine to what extent the
sugar tariff is to blame, and it is sug-
gested that the commissions inquiry
will occupy six months.
At S15000,000 a week the Sugar
390,000,000 in that time.
The commission, or any intelligent
clerk in its employ, should be able to
answer the Presidents question in six
hours instead Of six months. All the
data needed are in the archives Of the
commission.
Everyone who has given the sugar
problem any study knows that the
tariff is always added to the selling
price of sugar. The tariff is a little
over 2 cents pound, and it is ans
werable for high prices to just that
extent.
Manipulation by the Sugar Trust is
responsible for about 3 cents more.
As Mr.. Manly has pointed out, this
manipulation is a clear violation Of
the antitrust laws, and if the AttOr-
ney General were disposed to do his
duty, he could either put the profiteers
out of business or in jail in a very
short time.
There is no shortage of sugar. In
stead, there is a world surplus of
476,000 tons.
If the law of supply and demand
were permitted to function, the
American housewife would be buying
twenty or twenty-five pounds of sugar
for dollar at the corner grocery.
But the law of supply and demand
has been put out of business by the
sugar magnates largely because they
control the government at Washing
ton.

Columbus, o. - (SpecialO = Home
owners still have first place in the
thoughts of Ohio's lawmakers. This
was evidenced when members of both
houses of the 85th general assembly
passed almost unanimously the King
bill, which provides additional safe
guards for the two million and a
half Ohioans who are depositors and
borrowers in Ohio building and loan
associations. Despite the fact that
depositors In building and loan as
sociations in Ohio, according to evi-
denece presented to members of the
legislature, have not lost a penny in
any building and loan institution dur
ing the last decade, the building and
loan men in Ohio asked the legisla-
ture for a new building and loan law
in order to further strengthen the
safety of their institutions.
The appalling losses suffered by the
people of Ohio during the last several
years through investment in worth
less securities was first brought to
light by the officers of the state as
sociation of the building and loan men.

PEOPLES RIGHTS AND DUTIES

The fight against the chiropractors
is really an effort to abridge or deny
the rights of the people to 90 where
they desire for treatment when they
are sick, and to force out of business
a profession which even its enemies
and opponents are compelled to ad-
nit has accomplished some remark
able cures where other means of re-
lief have failed.
The prosecution, or rather perse-
cution, of members of the chiropractic
profession it is alleged is all brought
about by the State Medical Board,
and not a single case has been in
stigated by any citizen or community,
who have no objection to chiroprac-
tors. 1t is claimed that half million
people in Ohio are taking chiropractic
adjustments of the spine for various
diseases and abnormalities, and that
these persons will not quietlv submit
to being deprived of the privilege Of
selecting the persons they choose to
minister to their physical ailments,
but will arise in their might and de
mand that the medical trust be shorn
of some of the supreme power with
which it has been invested

and sane investing, Ohioans have been
saved many millions of dollars. How
ever, when the spotlight of publicity
was thrown upon the fake stock sales
man, promoters in various parts OF
the state then turned their attention
to the organization Of promotional
building and loan companies. The
building and loan men, however, were
just as prompt in fighting irregulari-
ties in their own business as they
were in picking flaws in the various
stock-selling and promotional invest
ment companies.
The new bill just passed by the
legislature prohibits the organization
of building and loan companies
through promotional methods and
does not permit the charging OF a
membership fee in connection with
the organization of these institutions.

DESPICABLE CHARITY

Why is it that heads of business
and moneyed men are considered the
logical dispensers of charity? Is it
because they are judged as having
taken more out of the community than
strict justice would permit, and
charity" becomes a means of salving
the public and their own conscience +?
Is it wholesome when churches and
colleges and other public institutions
depend on the doles of the rich and
not upon the general abundance of
the people? Is there anything more
degrading to business concern than
to underpay its men and then supply
even churches and pay ministers and
give them to the men as gifts and
is there anything more degrading to
the men themselves? Charity in this
sense is most despicable thing,
staining him who gives and him who
takes.-Henry Ford in Dearborn, In
dependent.

vine. He said the new building and
loan law made the old-line building
and loan companies practically loss
proof.
The new law gives the superinten-
dent of building and loan Institutions
the power and right to say when and
where a new building and loan COM
pany shall be organized and such in
stitutions can be organized only where
there is a very definite need for such
an organization. There are now more
than 800 building and loan institutions
in Ohio, everyone Of which, according

10000 Gases Weekly

Official figures from the Dominion
government for the one "recognized''
wharf in Petite Cote used exclusive
ly for exporting" purposes show an
average weekly shipment of 10000
cases of Canadian beer or approx
mately 100000 bottles a week of
beer alone.
How much beer and whisky comes
from the other "unoficiar' wharves
nobody knows. Prohibition authori-
ties say at least $4,000 cases of beer
reach the American side every week.
Whistles govern the flow and ebb
tide of ~contraband liquor. Rum run
ners are organized like an army.
Outposts warn of danger and tell
when to go ahead, all by means of
whistles, in a code known to the

When open water is reached the

On January 10, 1928, Judge J. J.
Coughlin, Essex county, Ont,
handed down a decision which, say
Ontario jurists, probably will render
1t possible to dump every bottle of
liquor distilled in Canada into the
United States unless the decision is
reversed.
Judge Coughlin acquitted the
Walkerville Brewing Company on a
charge of transporting liquor on a
public highway other than g. rail-
road.
Magistrate w. e. Grundy of Walk
erville had convicted the company
on this charge, i4olding the concern
violated the Ontario liquor carriage
act, which prohibited use of the
highways for liquor shipments to
export docks, but permitted rail
shipments.
This decision makes every Cana
dian highway leading to the water
front a liquor road with its terminal
in the United States.
On January ~, two days after
Judge Coughlin's decision, figures
were announced by the Canadian
government concerning export" of
bottled beer which made American
prohibition enforcement officials gasp
in establishment. 1t showed thou
sands of cases of liquor were being
shipped daily.
This quantity a shipped by rail
alone, it must be remembered, be-
fore it became legal to use the high
way.
With Canadian officials powerless
to stop booze-laden trucks, American
bound, how great is the increase
since Judge Cough1in's decision is a
matter of conjecture. Some say the
liquor import has practically
doubled.

The ordinance was amended to reai
or motion of Mr.. Disprow that indi-

be drawn. The reason for the &C
ton Mr.. Disbrow stated was that
it. would be unfair to have the or
dinance presented in q blanket

IN the veto.

ker county treasurer, stating that
if the city of South Amboy would
forward their share of interest on
the Main street improvement, the
county in turn would send their
check amounting to $500 as por-
kion of the Bordentown avenue
storm sewer interest. Mr.. Coan, city
solicitor reported that after several
attempts the matter was finally
cleared up and at a later time drew
an ordinance authorizing the draw
ing of the city check to the mount
bf $952.21.
Mr.. Lloyd, president Of the coun-
ell, named Counilmen Delaney aad
Disbrow as members of n Boara
Vt Estimate for the city budget.
The council also received a letter
from Sophus Greisen, of Fords, con-
tractor for the David street improve
ment advising them that he would
comply with their recent request
that the materials he removed from
David street at this time. Mr.. Gre1-
sen stated that as soon as weather
conditions changed he would esum
operations on the street.
At a. recent meeting Of the Police
Pension Fund Commission, Robert
Seagrave was elected a member.
Mayor Chase notified the council last
night of the action of the committee.
The action was confirmed.
A communication from Thomas
Coleman of upper Augusta street,
advising the council that recently he
had made application for a sewer
tap, but that on the particular sec
ton Of the street on which he i've
there is no sewer line. The nearest
one being on Main street. Mr.. Cole
man stated that before he was &C.
quainted with the fact men from the
street department had commenced
work, but he ordered them to stop.
He was later rendered a bill from the
city and asked that the matter be
dealt with at one On motion OF
Councilman Delaney, the commune
was referred to the council
s a whole.
= A letter from George r. Kress,
secretary of the Board of Education.
stating that Richard U. Rue and
Francis P. Coan were appointed

innate, was received and filed.

Ing of the salary of the city engineer 4
was passed on its final reading and
approved by Mayor Chase later. The
salary specified is $3.50 per annum

covering the period of 1921 and 1922
