GOOD FOR YOU. GOV.

From present indications it appears
that Gov. Vic Donahey will shortly
abandon his slef-imposed censorship
over municipalities and cease acting
as official laundryman for the dirty
linen of Ohio's sin infested cities:
No one doubts that Vic bit off a
good sized "chaw" when he elected
himself as prosecutor, Judge, jury
and executioner of city officials who
failed to agree exactly with his ex-
cellency's idea of law enforcement,
and proceeded to make the punish
ment fit the crime" whenever and
wherever he deemed it expedient-
even at times permitting his enthusl-
asm to lead him on such thin ice that
on several occasions he broke through
and got in so deep that he called for
help and owned up he was in wrong
and wanted assistance to get out OF
the hole into which he had fioundered.
But it looks like he'd got enough
good and plenty, and wants to let 60;
If such is his belief most people will
agree with him, and say amen, as it
is the prevailing belief that each
municipality should, as far as pos
sible, be self governing, and that the
officials chosen by majority of the
electors should be allowed to function
and not be removed to satisfy the
envy and hatred of a few sore-heads
and envious politicians.

Right to Organize
Must be Recognized

Oshkosh, Wis.-"We can not have
industrial peace or national prosper
ity until the employers of labor frank
ly recognize the workers right to or
ganize and freely choose his repre-
sentatives in the same way that he
chooses his representatives in gov
ernment," said Rev. F. j. Haas, Ph.
D., of st. Francis seminary, Mil
waukee, in a Labor day speech in
this city.
The speaker declared that collec-
tive bargaining is both natural and
necessary. "It Is natural because it
is in the nature of human beings that
those who have common aims and
likes and aspirations should unite to
advance their common interests" he
said. I
collective bargaining is necessary
because the individual wage contract
is very often no contract at all. 1t
is frequently invalid and unjust be-
cause it lacks the free consent of the
worker. When a laborer accepts any
wage that is offered him because his
family needs food or clothing or
medicine, he is the worker who is OBJ
liged to bargain individually often
accepts rate of pay less than the
going market rates simply because
he does not know what the market
rates are" Ai,a.aa

THE MEETING WAS HELD

The meeting called by the Com
mittee on Public Safety last Friday
night for the purpose of investigating
the alleged i'll feeling existing be-
tween the heads of the department
and some members of the police force,
was duly held in tn council chamber,
with Councilmen Wolverton, Fulke
and Irwin present, and notwithstand-
ing the belief of the mayor that Jim
and Ned would not attend" they were
both on hand, as was also His Honor.
Patrolmen Stewart and German were
there too.
The committee was unable to pry
any light or information from either
the safety director or police chief, all
that could be obtained from the form
er was the reiteration of the state
ment, "I won't make any charges, but
both these men know what the trouble
is" He also intimated that the hand
writing had appeared on the plaster,
ing of the wall, and as his official
head would soon drop into the gar
bage can he would let things go on
as they were. The chief, of police
maintained dignified silence during
the proceedings.

HERE THEY ARE
BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS ARE
DISTRIBUTED
COmmendatiOn and Criticism of Our
Public Servants Bestowed as
Deemed Just BY Leaders
Hired Man
"MAC" GETTING INTO HOT
WATER

Wrinkles are gathering upon the
lily-white brow of Benjamin Franklin
Mcdonald, the immaculate State Pro-
hibition Commissioner, caused no
doubt by charges, counter charges
and epithets far from compliment
tary nature recently gratuitously
handed him from different parts of
the state.
Just the other day, according to
published reports, l.. D. Carter, safety
director of Akron, could not even
wait for a personal interview to ex-
press his opinion but sent long tele-
gram to "Mac" telling him what was
what, and ending by calling him an
unqualified liar" And then about
the same time Judge Seidel, of Colum-
bus, said right out in open court that
the Prohibition Commissioner and all
state enforcement officers were "a
dirty bunch of rats" Pretty plain
talk, eh?
The "Hired Man" extends his SYM
pathy to his friend "B. F." and hopes
he will weather the storm which has
descended upon him; this hope is
strengthened by the fact that lawyers
are usually extremely thick skinned
individuals whose tough cuticle throws
off abuse and cussing as easily as
ducks back sheds water.

THEN AND NOW

The "Hired Man" remembers when
in the not far distant past, in order
to have "good old time" the boys
from the rural districts were in the
habit of visiting Newark for the ac-
complishment of their purpose-the
country districts being reserved for
picnics and other sylvan pleasures.
But times have changed nightly
since the eighteenth amendment has
been in vogue, and now the country
boys appear to have the best of it
in the way of liquid refreshments. 1t
was only the other day a number of
fellows from the Blue Jay school
house district were arrested by a
deputy sheriff and brought to town,
where instead of having a high old
time they were haled before the
municipal Judge and soaked to the
tune of SIS and costs each on the
charge of intoxication. Yea verify,
time brings many changes.

Want Tax Relief
For the Farmers
(By Federated Press)

shington-Heavier taxation of
land values to enable a corresponding
exemption of farm buildings, ma
chinery and crops from present taxa
tion will be one of the proposals which
the Farmers National council, rep
resenting numerous farm organiza-
tions, will suggest for the relief of
the farmers when congress convenes.
Declaring that the agricultural sit
uatiOn has never been as serious as it
is today, the council has framed what
it describes as a specific program to
save the farmers from their present
financial distress and prevent it's re-
currence.
In addition to tax relief, the coun-
Gil makes the following suggestions:
Creation of a government marketing
corporation to buy farm products and
sell them here and abroad. Crop in
surance under which farmers will
contribute at least something to the
cost of insuring their own crops.
Government marketing credit, which
will give farmers credit upon as
good terms as any other equally re-
sponsible industry secures. Opera
tion of railroads as a unified govern
ment system for service and not for
speculative profit.
The council makes public a state
ment by Warren S. Stone, grand chief,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
promising aid of the railwaymen's or
ganization in securing relief legisla-
tion in the new congress.

CHECK ON WAR
ELIMINATE MUNITION MAKERS
SAYS ORGANIZED LABOR
Stop Financial Incentives of War"
By Having All Work Done i'm
Government Shops
(By Federated Press)

Washington-Organized labor is
preparing for drive to eliminate
private munition makers. An an
nouncement that the Hull bill, intro
duced by Congressman Harry E.
Hull of Iowa, in the last congress,
will be reintroduced as soon as con-
gress reconvenes, and that organized
labor will make a determined effort
to have it enacted, was made at the
headquarters of the International AS
sociation of Machinists.
The Hull bill provides for the re-
moval of financial incentives to war"
by having the government utilize it's
own plants for the manufacture of all
munitions, military supplies, vessels,
and ordnance.
At hearings held last year, several
members of congress, representatives
of the Machinists' union, the A. F. of
l.. and others urged the enactment of
the bill on the ground that it will re-
move one of the causes of war-the
incentive of private munition makers
to keep the nations armed and dis
trustful of each other-and would pro-
vide a more economical method of
maintaining the military and naval
forces.
N. P. Alias, president District Al,
international Association of Machi-
nists, is organizing the efforts that
will be made to have the bill adopted.
even more important than the
saving to the government" Atlas
says, "is the danger which is present
ed to the peace of the world by reason
of the incentive for gain which in
spires the activities of munition MAX
ers. In a report submitted to the
league of nations in September, 1921,
six objections to the untrammeled
private manufacture of the means of
waging war were listed. The six OBJ
jections are:
81. That armament firms have
been active in fomenting war scares
and in persuading their own countries
to adopt warlike policies and to in
crease their armamentS.
"2. That armament firms have at
tempted to bribe officials, both at
home and abroad.
"3. That armament firms have dis
seminated false reports concerning
the military and naval programs OF
various countries, in order to stimu-
late armament expenditure.
"a. That armament firms sought
to influence public opinion through
the control of newspapers in their
own and foreign countries.
"5. That armament firms have or
ganized international armament rings
through which the armament race has
been accentuated by playing off one
country against another.
sc. That armament firms have or
ganized international armament trusts
which have increased the price of
armaments sold to governments.
"Our own munition makers have
not been angels in this regard" Ali
fas declares. "We expect to be bet
ter prepared when we resume the
fight for the Hull bill in the next
congress-"
