LAND HELD BY FEW;
LABOR URGES SMALL PLOTS

Sir Daniel Hall, chief scientific ad-
wiser to the governments Board of
Agriculture, has declared that the
only, solution of the land question in
England is for the state to become
the ultimate landowner.
The Daily Herald quotes statistics
on the evils of English landlordism.
Land that is equivalent to one-quar-
ter OF the total area of this country
is owned by 256 peers and peeresses.
In 1929 the British folk who di>
left land valued at 930,00O,O00. More
than one-half of this land belonged to
800 rich men and women.
Nothing can be done to satisfy the
healthy and creditable hunger for land
on the part of those who cultivate it."
says the Daily Herald, "until the peo-
pie resume their ownership-or, at
any. rate, until the shameless profit
eering which goes OH at present is
sternly brought to an end"

bonds were made in the presence of
Thomas w. Miller, former alien prop
erty custodian, who is also under in
dictment, and Jesse Smith, Daugher-
ty's confidential adviser, who later
committed suicide in the "little Green
house" in K street, Washington.
The Daugherty indictment alleges
that the Liberty bonds was an unlaw-
full commission for putting through
the claim of the Swiss company for
the German property, and that this
conspiracy prevented the Federal gov
ernment from receiving an unbiased
judgment of Daugherty as attorney
general.
The case has no reference to the
legality of the Swiss transfer, and
only relates to the methods employ
ed to obtain the signatures of the at
torney general and the alien property
custodian for the transfer.

Old Age Pensions

Kentucky is the latest state to en-
act an old-age pension law. It's act
was passed at this years session of
the state legislature, was signed by
the governor on March 25th and went
into effect on June oath. 1t is mod
eled after the Wisconsin act in that
each county has to accept the act be-
fore it becomes effective in the
county. The maximum pension is
$3.50 year.
There are now five states, and the
territory of Alaska which have old
age pension laws. The Alaska act
was passed in 1915, the Pennsylvania,
Montana and Nevada acts in 1923, and
the Wisconsin act in 1925. The state
supreme court declared the Pennsyl-
vania act unconstitutional, and new
act is being framed which is supposed
to get around the difficulty.

Independent Strike
Has Expected Finish

New York-The independent strike
on Interborough Rapid Transit lines
has collapsed, and these workers have
placed themselves at. the mercy of the
company. Seniority and other work
ing conditions are lost.
The strikers were members of a
company "union" which all employees
are compelled to join. Dues are tax
en- from their envelopes. A large
group suspended work in the hope of
securing higher wages. They formed
an Independent organization, but re-
fused to affiliate with the recognized
trade union in this calling.
The company spent money without
limit to defeat the strike, and other
losses were recorded because of the
drop in passengers.
The Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
of America was willing to aid the
strikers, but the latter insisted on
joining the bona fide union under
their own terms.

Gates his abandonment of verbal fire
works:
"In the west it is certain that
there exists, from the very nature
of the people, tendency to quick
protest against inequality in the
administration of government,
and they are the best friends of
government who insist most
strongly that it's powers be not
misused. 1t is this tendency that
if often misinterpreted in the
east as radicalism. So far from
being radicalism, in it's true sense,
it is the vests form of conser-
vatism.
"The present unrest in the west,
for instance, is not based upon
demand that agriculture have
equal treatment with them under
the law. The effort to create the
impression that the agricultural
industry as a whole seeks undue
advantage is unfair"

III CAkC ONAAO1AaN OVNA
Newark's Mayor and his plant
satellites who are under his au-
tocratic thumb, have finally sue
cessfully put the kibosh on the
city street cars and the bus lines
operated by the Southern Ohio
Public Service Company.
The company, which for some
time has been up against it good
and proper, has finally decided
to cease operations in Newark,
with the exception of the inter-
urban lines, and Monday after
noon Mr.. Zimmerman repre-
senting the company, issued the
statement that street car and
bus service would cease in New
ark at midnight on Tuesday
August 10. Mr.. zimmerman
said "Within the past year or so
we have spent 100000 on i'm
proving the service in Newark.
Under the conditions the opera
ton of busses and street cars is
a poor business proposition. We
are not making any threats but
simply making a statement OF
facts"
This looks like the end of an
uphill fight against the colnbin-
ed efforts of a relentless and
continued opposition by enemies
whose tactics were devoid Of
sportsmanlike conduct or honest
fair-dealing. The city will lose
the benefit of approximately
$4,000 annually paid in taxes,
and thirty-five or forty men
whose wages amounted to near
ly $4,000 year will be out of
jobs These men live in Newark,
a majority of them being prop
erty owners and taxpayers
consequently their money was
spent here at home, and It's loss
is an important item to our mer-
chants.
This latest result OF what ap-
pears to be a united effort on
the part of certain individuals to
work against the best interests
of the/community, and permit
"a desire to "get even" with the
other fellow override their bet
ter judgment, has excited a tide
of adverse criticism, which
shows that public sentiment
overwhelmingly condemns their
attitude not only on this ques-
ton but also upon numerous rec
ent happenings.
Without a street car line New
ark will be deader than ever, and
citizens will be ashamed to ad-
nit that they live in such a God
forsaken place. Judging from
present indications a return to
old-time conditions when cows
were pastured on the streets and
pigs and geese wandered about |
and through the court house
yard is not improbable or far
distant. Il
So thoroughly disgusted and
indignant are people becoming |
that a change of some kind is
bound to come, the last straw
mas broken the back OF the long
suffering and much enduring |
camel, and the Babylonian warn
ing "Thou are weighed in the
balance and found wanting" has
appeared on th wall.
The commissis ! form OF gov
erlment is now favored by
many who were formerly dead
set against it, and hundreds OF
voters who opposed the idea
when it was brought up last
time will gladly hail it as offer
ing an opportunity of a welcome
change and grab at a chance to
"clean house"
