shadow entered her life and she was
sorrowful because a little treasure
had been taken away, Wednesday,

there being seven times as much in
liabilities as under eight Democratic
years. These figures are from the
report of r. G. Dun & Co.
In the face of these facts, is not
Moore's claim clear out of place,
that the Republican party is the
party of prosperity, and that it is
the only party fit to govern? MI.
Moore claimed he wanted to be fair.
1t is a poor rule that won't work
both ways. If the party OF Cooper
and Moore is to take credit for pros
perity when there is prosperity un-
der a Republican administration,
they, if they want to be fair, must
accept the responsibility for the de-
plorable economic condition now ex-
isting-perhaps the worst in the
history of the country. The speaker
mentioned that there was nothing
spectacular about President Hoover.
Probably not, but it was spectacular
enough when the stock market
crash came-about year ago, just
y
prosperous condition of the country,
and investors after placing conf
dence in his words, invested and
lost billions Of dollars in the worst
stock market crash the country had
seen in 80 years.
Moore in conclusion thought to
take petty fling at George White,
candidate for governor. Had Gov
ernor Cooper been on the platform
we hardly think he would have done
it. Moore stated that Mr.. White
was dry; that he was in congress
when the 18th amendment was pass
| ed, and had always been classed as
dry; then criticised Mr. White as a
candidate, for not talking prohibi-
ton on the stump this fall. His
same criticism could have been aim
ed at Governor Cooper, since in his
address Monday night Mr.. Cooper
never mentioned word along that
line. Both Democratic and Repub-
lican platforms are silent on that is
sue this fall Chairman Fess of the
Republican national committee has
said that it is not an issue, but
Moore thought to inject it. Since
Cooper was here speaking for the
state administration, it would have
been his place to attack White along
| that line; not Moore's. The truth
is that since White all but trimmed
Moore when Republicans were much
stronger in the district than they
are this fall, he is fearful of Whites
popularity in this district, which he
will from present indications, carry
and with the factional fight against
Moore, in his own party, he is fear
full of his scalp this season, and he
figures that if he can cut down
Whites lead on the head of the
ticket, it will help him somewhat
and he thought to use the method
named.
A Disappointment
It was late when the two speakers
finally finished, and many who came
to see the pictures, had left. Many
thought that the pictures would be
shown first, and when the curtain
went up and they saw the figures or
the stage, they at first thought tha
it was going to be an Andy GumI
comedy, since they thought the!
saw Andy Gump, Uncle BIN, ans
sothers of the famous Gump family.
II May Experience Trouble
1t is beginning to look as if thu
committee in charge of the meeting
is to experience some trouble, un
less some financial matters can bt
amicably settled. The trouble l:
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1930-10-09

who opposed President Hoover and
delayed the passage of the tariff bill.
But he didn't say that the worst OBJ
structionists came from the Repub-
licans. If ana1yZed, Moore's defense
of the tariff was extremely weak.
He knows as everyone knows that
the farmer has not benefited by the
tariff neither has labor; and gen
orally speaking neither has the. con-
suming public. The increase in
tariff rate on sugar alone will raise
the cost of living about $35,000,-
600 per year A group of manufac-
turing corporations will benefit and
will increase their earnings with fig
ures that are staggering.
But how about agriculture? That
is what we here are most interested
in. Agriculture in this country at
large-and here in Morgan county,
is in the most serious, indeed the
most critical, plight that it has ever
been. 1t has been slipping ever
since the World war; and the tariff
laws and Hoover's farm relief mea-
sures seem to have made it slip still
faster, and the Grundy law hes i'll
creased the disadvantage of the
farmer Take the price of wheat,
Of wool,--in fact Of everything tho
farmer produces-where has been
the benefit from the tariff and farm
relief? And stacked against it is
scarcely no reduction in the price
of everything he consumes.
Then Mr.. Moore mad something to
say about tax reduction. (He was
speaking concerning the federal gov
ernment. He meant income tax re-
ductions and tax refunds. 1t is
true that since the World war the
, tax refunds have totaled close to
three billion dollars. Wonder why
| he didn't name some of these con-
Germs so benefited? The U. S. Steel
Corporation alone has been paid a
total of almost s1O0,000,000. 9th
er big claims have been paid to the
Aluminium Co., of which Secretary
of Treasury Mellon and family are
members. 1t must be borne in mind
! that about 88 percent of this vast
sum of money paid out in refunds,
and interest, was collected in war
excess profits during Wilson's ad-
ministration, and which had been
collected to finance the vigorous
prosecution of the World war Then
! it was fairly we'll understood that
those who remained at home and
| the concerns that made high profits
during the war, were to pay the cost
of the war, in war taxes.
i We wonder why Moore did not
| give his audience some figures con-
corning business, and bank fail
ures of the past nine Republican
/ years, compared with failures dur
| ing the eight years Woodrow Wilson
was in the White House. From
1913 to 1920, eight Democratic
years, the total number of business
or commercial failures in the coun-
try was 1866, and the liabilities
involved, totaled 81 1882, SO, ,943.
| From 1921 to 1929, Republican
years, the number of such failures
was 1875, 5,545, and liabilities totaled
$4,679, 100000. AS to bank fail
ures: From 1913 to 1920, under
| Wilson's two administrations, these
Numbered TAG; liabilities of sans
| $226,4S4,447. From 1921 to 1929
inclusive, under Harding, Coolidge
and Hoover, there were in the coun.
try 4,147 bank failures, with liabili-
ties totaling $1,526, 6,O94, ,O00-sis
times as many banks failing. and

office building is necessity in or
der to house these enormous in
creases in state employees? All this
at the expense of the taxpayers. In
the face of these facts-and other
increases in expenditures, the gov
ernor had the effrontery to speak
of an economical business-like ad-
ministration.
He mentioned the decrease in the
cost of road building. OF course it
is decreased; with thousands of un-
employed, practically on the verge
Of starvation, forced to work at any
price, no matter how small it is
possible to employ labor at figure
far below that of two years ago.
He spoke of welfare and prison re-
form, just as though Governors Har-
mon, Cox and Donahey had not bent
their every effort in that line, but
were hampered through Republican
legislatures in carrying out their
plans.
The governor stated that he took
no side in the classification amend
ment, but now that it had passed,
he had appointed committee of
100 to reach a judgment concern
ing a taxing system Certainly the
governor takes an easy way out of
it, by passing the buck, when such
decision really rests with the gov
ernor. George White has not at
tempted to dodge this issue, but has
made himself plain in the matter.
AS stated, Kenneth Ray presided at
the meeting, and he and the gov
ernor passed back and forth pleas
antries. One thing we were wish
ing that Mr.. Ray might have asked
the governor, and that was why he
(Cooper) vetoed the measures Ray
introduced, after the legislature had
passed them unanimously.
In the beginning of his address,
Cooper made reference to the repeal
of the Pence law, and stated that it
it's stead was enacted a constructive
utility law This is under the public
utilities commission. He also refer
red to Senator McCulloch's service
on the public utilities commission.
When he mentioned the state public
utilities commission, the chief ex-
ecutive was treading on tender feet,
since our people here have not been
able to get particle of relief from
this commission, in the matter of
gas rate, and local consumers
paying a price for gas which seems
clear out of all reason. Again, high
as is the rate here for electricity
the Suburban Power Co. which sup.
plies the local electricity, has an
application with the public utilities
commission, asking for an increase
in rate-and the chances are that
this powerful, wealthy concern will
get it,
Congressman Moore
Governor Cooper spoke about an
hour, and then came Congressman
"Wee" Ellis Moore-small of stat
ure, and small of works. How
many bills has he introduced; what
has he really done worth while fol
the district, other than to make
postoffice recommendations?
Moore. as all know, is about the
smoothest, pleasantest pOlitica

platform All his former ammuni.
tion was of no use, and he made fol
the most part sort of Fourth o1
