THEY ARE
AND BRICKBATS ARE
DISTRIBUTED
Commendation and Criticism Handed
Out PromiscuOusly as Deemed
Just by Our Hired Man
DON'T WANT TO COME IN

The Licking County Agricultural
Society has turned down the city's
rather pressing invitation to become
one of us and let the council run it's
corporation ring around the fair
grounds, as it is believed that suf
ficient amount of brains, horse sense
and business ability exists among its
own officials to attend to their own
business and conduct their own af
fairs. 1t is also believed that the
county commissioners entertain SINH
lar views, and many of the city people
agree with them.
Anyhow a meeting has been called
for May 9Th, at which time it is un-
derstood the Agricultural Society
will enter vigorous protest against
the proposed annexation scheme, as
it is desired to keep these historic
grounds under county control and
domination.

MAYOR NOT SCARED

Mayor Stevens, although aware
that petition looking toward his re-
moval is in existence, is not losing
any Sleep over the matter. In dis
cussing the matter he thus expressed
himself:
'1 know to a certainty that the pc
tion has only IL names on it. If it is
carried around much longer it will
fall to pieces from old age and wear.
"The reason that is given on the
petition as get it, is that | am Ku
Klux Klan mayor, an anarchist, and
several other things and that is the
reason why the petitioners who sign
the petition are asking for my re-
moval, but that's practically all myth
about them removing me, twelve
names won't do it."

CHANGED
THE MELLON TAX SCHEME rs
KNOCKED OUT
And Plan to Reduce Tax on Big In
comes Is Beaten in the House by
Decisive Vote
(By Federated Press)

Washington, D. C.-Despite an ex-
tensive propaganda in its behalf, Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon has
lost his tax bill fight in the house.
Enough Of the administration party
joined with the minority in favoring
the bill proposed by Congressman
Garner of Texas, that the administra-
ton party was forced to produce a
substitute which was accepted by a
vote of 408 to 8.
The portion of direct interest to
wage workers is the tax on incomes
rot exceeding $4,000 Under the bill
The present law provides for per
cent. The Mellon bill called for per
cent and the Garner bill for per
cent.
The new proposal makes no change
in exemptions. These are $1,000 for
a single person and $1,000 for heads
of families.
The big fight wealth made for the
Mellon plan was centered on it's re-
duction of the surtaX. Under the
present law surtaX rates are as high
as so per cent on incomes in excess of
100000 year. The Mellon bill re-
duced this to 25 per cent on incomes
in excess of 100000.
Every power that wealth, plutocra-
cy and privilege could muster was
rallied in defense Of this substantial
cut of their income taxes.
The Garner bill reduced this surtax
only 6 per cent, or to Al per cent.
Fearful that this bill would be adopt
ed, the administration party dropped
the Mellon 25 per cent reduction and
favored a 1212 per cent reduction, or
3712 per cent tax, which has been
approved.
1t is claimed that the Mellon plan
advocates are not pleased and that
they will attempt to have the senate
restore the original proposed cut Of
25 per cent
This alleged dissatisfaction is good
strategy as it would be folly for plu-
tocracy to boast that it secured any
reduction. Besides if it is as success
full in the next two years, it will have
secured 25 per cent cut.

Labor Premier Not
Spoiled by Honors

London, Eng. Ramsey Mac
Donald, first Labor Premier of Great
Britain has no illusions about his
greatness.
Macdonald states very frankly that
he doesn't feel that he is entitled to
spend the rest of his life living in
luxury at the expense of the British
people.
Il would be perfectly happy to re-
sumo my former private life on a
small income" Macdonald said when
questioned regarding his views on
pensions for ex-Premiers.
~ detest the idea that a man can
not serve his country in its highest
offices without an income of several
thousand pounds year.
"The expenses are, of course,
enormous; but on retiring from office,
why not go back to the simple life,
with it's porridge and plainness ?"
Macdonald intimated very clearly
that when his term of office ends he
will be happy to return to his modest
home in Hampstead and forget the
glories that surrounded him while he
resided in Downing street. He looks
upon service to his nation as an asset
to character and not an asset to social
position and is not at all likely to con-
fuse the homage paid him as Premier
with his own private character.
There have been few changes in the
life of Ramsey Macdonald since he
became Prime Minister. He still
wears the slightly shabby overcoat
which he wore as leader of the Labor
Party in the House of Commons. He
still rides in the subway when neces-
sary, and he still smokes a cheap and
popular brand of cigarettes.

CAN'T ISSUE GAME CHECKS

From time immemorial it has been
the universal custom of those who
play cards in public places to spend a
nickel each with the proprietor of the
house, at the close of each game, and
to those who did not want the imme-
diate delivery of the goods voucher,
in the form of check which could be
spent at some future time, was issued
But those halcyon days have been
relegated to the scrap-pile, as just the
other day the proprietor of a soft
drink place, who was giving out these
little brass promissory notes, was ar
rested for conducting gambling
joint, found guilty as charged, and
soaked to the tune of ten and costs,
so hereafter the boys will have to
smoke a cigar on each side of the
month to keep up with the game, as
checks are thing of the past.

How Chinese Crews
SmuggIe in Dope
(BV Federated Pressl

wy CQCldICd L ISSSJ
Seattle-The steady flow of illicit
narcotics into the United States will
never be stopped until the big Amer
lean shipping companies discharge
their Chinese crews in the stewards
department, according to John R.
Norkgauer, secretary of the Marine
Cooks and Stewards union here.
Norkgauer recently exposed the
methods of recruiting Orientals for
the American ships, demonstrating
the inevitability of dope smuggling
under the present plan.
Compradors Qabor agents) in
Hongkong and other Chinese ports
have charge of employment of the
Orientals. They charge $4,000 for
signing full crew Of 130 men, the
complement for an American trans
pacific liner in the stewards depart
ment. To meet the high charge, the
Chinese band together for the privi-
lege of getting jobs for which average
pay is but $3.50 in United States cur
rency.
Clearly, the jobs do not pay enough
to Justify the high employment fee.
Norkgauer says it is understood by
the comprador, by the American ship
ping lines, and particularly by the
Chinese that their money will come,
not from wages, but from the pro.
ceeds of smuggling narcotics, liquor
and jewelry into American ports.
Hardly an American ship enters
port without big seizures by customs
officers but the Chinese manage to
secrete most of their contraband and
later to sell it through go-betweens
in the American ports.

KEEP THE DOLLARS AT HOME

When you have dollar bill to
spend, why not spend it at home?
Instead of sending away for arti-
cles or going to other cities to buy,
why not boost the local business
firms which in turn will help you
and aid in the growth and prosper
ity of your home town. If Newark
is good enough to live in, it's good
enough to work for and you can
help make it a bigger and better
city by spending your dollars here.

"WOODMAN, SPARE THE TREE"

Many people, especially those who
live near the park, are raising de-
cided howl against the wanton de-
struction of the giant oak trees which
constitute one Of the chief beauties of
our fair grounds, and furnish the
crowning glory to this wonderful relic
of the prehistoric moundbuilder.
1t is stated that beautiful trees,
monarchs of the forest which have
existed perhaps for centuries, are be-
ing ruthlessly slaughtered in order to
obtain few measly feet of lumber.
It's a sin and a shame to permit this
work to continue, and those in au
thority should put stop to it.

DISCLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY

Mayor Stevens declares he is not
responsible for the circulation of a
petition asking for the resignation of
Councilman R. A. Crawford, who is
supposed to be the "chief cook and
bottle washer" of an anti-administra-
ton insurgents, although he admits
that he is aware of the existence of
such a document, and it is alleged
that he stated he believed it would
"gather 5000 signatures Of people
who are opposed to his (Crawford's)
tactics.
Meanwhile Bob sits tight and saws
