THE HOME RULE CHARTER
AMENDMENT

One of the questions coming before
the people of Hamilton at the pri-
mary election next Tuesday, ques-
tion of utmost Importance, is whether
or not the Hamilton people are to
rule themselves in the matter of tax
ation-that is, whether they are to
say how much tax they are to pay
and the city to receive, or whether
they are to continue under the pres
ent rule wherein budget commits
sion made up of county officials tell
the citizens of Hamilton how much
tax they must pay and then the COM
mission apportions only to the city
what it, the commission, thinks are
the city's real needs, no matter how
much the citizens have paid into the
county treasury. In other words, un-
der the present system Hamilton peo-
pie are paying more taxes for city
needs than is being returned to the
city by the commission.
Under the proposed amendment tc
the city charter, it will be up to the
city council to determine just how
much the city actually requires tc
function and then make levy accord
ingly. 1t is admitted that under the
new system taxes may temporarily
be increased a slight amount, but
even so, isn't it better that we pay 3
$3.50 and and get a dollar and fifty
cents worth for our money, than tt
pay one dollar and get about 65 cents
worth, as under the present rule
1t is simply because the city ism
getting what is really coming to i
that many funds are short of wha
they need to function properly, sucl
as parks, Fairgrounds, recreationa
centers, etc.

why not give them lift? Remember
your obligation. But be sure to vote
and urge your neighbors and friends
to do likewise.
LIMITING OUTPUT TO
BOOST PRICES

Employer economists have yelped
themselves hoarse in condemnation of
the alleged restriction of output" by
trade unionists to maintain a reason
able price for the use of their labor
power.
1t is remarkable what a change
comes over the spirit of the econo-
mists when output restriction is
adopted by employers for the exclu-
sive benefit of investors who "earn"
their living by clipping coupons and
endorsing dividend checks.
The advantage of restriction of out
put for the benefit of employers and
investors is described by Alfred j..
Williams in an article in The Annal-
list, the journal of finance, commerce
and banking" published by the New
York Times Company, on the "co-
operative control of crude petroleum
output"
Owners of the petroleum industry,
Mr.. Williams declares, have been
struggling for years to gain control
of the supply of raw material in the
oil industry-crude petroleum. Why
have they sought this control? To
pay higher wages and shorten the
hours of labor of the men who do
the work? Not at ALL According to
Mr.. Williams, the prospect of ade-
quate restriction of output is bright
and will work for greater stabiliza-
ton of earnings and security values
The owners of some of the oil wells
have reduced the output so per cent
Present work centers around bring
ing the recalcitrant operators, usu.
ally small ones, into the voluntary
agreements. Success for the move
ment will tend to stabilize prices anc
earnings" concludes Mr.. Williams
''and should be a welcome factor il
| the situation from the point of view
of the investor in oil securities"

By saying that he is angry over his
transfer to the Boston enforcement
district, which he is not accepting
But Campbell must be a pretty good
man from the dry point of view or
he would never have been chosen for
the New York job, nor would the ad-
ministration have sought to retain
him in the service in the latest of
the periodic shakeups.
To be sure, Campbell did not sue
ceed in enforcing prohibition. Neither
did none of his predecessors, nor will
any of his successors. That is the
point. And these tiresome shifts of
personnel, which the country has come
to expect, cannot obscure that point
from the public.
That the public understands the
impossibility of enforcing these laws
and the desirability Of their repeal
is clear not only from newspaper and
magazine straw polls but also from
recent votes in such widely separated
states as Massachusetts, New Jersey
and Washington.
Considering the growing wet SEN
timent in the country and the fact
that no law is enforceable which vio-
lates the will of the majority, it is
perhaps not so surprising that fed
eral prohibition administrators them
selves are beginning to resign and
demand prohibition repeal.-Cincin-

seeming favoritism in the matter of
pictures. Pew writes about con-
versation between himself and Col.
Lindbergh over the matter of cheap
newspapers. Pew describes Lind
bergh's long conversation as modest,
sincere almost philosophical, in
which the Lindbergh voice was never
raised above normal. His position
was that of citizen protesting
against an evil in public life.
''There is not a boastful, self-asser-
tive, conceited atom in him." Pew
writes, "yet l have known few men
possessed of greater determination,
fixed purpose and calm assurance"
Lindbergh values good newspapers
what he calls the constructive
press" and speaks of its remarkable
liberality" in dealing with his work
But of such as the five New York
newspapers with which he refuses to
have relations he minces no words.
These. he said, Mrs. Lindbergh and
he could not Cooperate with and
maintain our self-respect." Their
practices he termed contemplate"
He termed them "a social drag"
"waste of time" and non-constructive.
having "no serious purpose"
It is not in Lindbergh to be super
fetal, and it seems to be his ma
ture that he cannot encourage or con-
done the superficial, which does not
mean that he is dull, lacks wit or dis
likes fun. because he is the complete
reverse of dull, few wits are keener
and he loves fun But he has a sense
of values and sense of proportion.
Few have made cleaner analysis
of cheap, Sensational American news
paperdom.
There is no lack of evidence of the
admiration and affection held by the
American people and particularly
Young people for this knight of the
air. 1t is recorded that in recent
examination a class of youngsters,
asked what they wanted most to
know about, put Lindbergh at the
head of the list, ranking Lincoln and
Washington second and third.
If American youth admires the
courage and the adventure of Lind
bergh it also can proftably admire
his mental qualities, his denunciatlon
of the cheap and shoddy and tawdry.
Pew writes that the colonel doesn't
exactly feel sure that he can reform
the newspapers he condemns, but he
knows he can make his protest.
| These newspapers that to him have
been "disgusting" and "humiliating
at least do not get his encouragement
His protest is made against sucf
journalism in behalf of other per
sons who are similarly plagued anc
cannot defend themselves"
This healthy, clean-minded resent
ment against type of American
journalism rampant in New York anc
Chicago and more or less initiated IL
many cities, is one of the most in
spring and encouraging develop
ments of late And it lacks all O.
the elements of preachment. To nom
is it more valuable than to wage
earnerS.

" Where with our
Tree Litt1. ii = H.,s,s, .e.s
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pre-
fOundly, sometimes hippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Once again it is necessary to pin
medal on Col. Charles Augustus
Lindbergh.
He has taken crack at the cheap
and tawdry press of New York.
Newspapers that "have no serious
purpose" are not to be "co-operated
with" by him. In this stand the fly
ing colonel is displaying about as
much courage as he showed on the
flight to Paris. 1t isn't easy to stand
up against the sensational press.
When pictures of the Lindbergh
baby were made public they were
given out by the colonel. He took the
pictures and gave to each fortunate
agency a different picture SO that
they might be copyrighted. Five
New York newspapers got no baby
pictures.
A great many thought this was
spite work, but it was nothing of the
kind. 1t was an expression of tre-
mendously sincere purpose-almost q
quixotic purpose.
