Sales Tax Watched
By Merchant Body

Members of the London Retail Mer-
chants association are watching with
interest the sales tax plans introduced
in the Ohio Legislature and COM
mittee of local business men has been
named to cooperate with the Ohio Re
tail Merchants association to fight the
sales tax.
Thus far two complete and quite
different plans of levying the so-calied
"salestax" have been proposed. Both
were introduced by Summit county
Legislators.
The bill introduced by Representa-
tive Oakley Spaght provides for \ a
straight tax of two per cent upon all
commodity sales at retail, patterned
after the Pennsylvania plan, which 1T
is claimed, even at one per cent, us
driving many Pennsylvania merchants
into bankruptcy. La
The other measure was introduced
by Senator Carl Shepherd and like
wise is destined to give the merchant
much worry if passed, although this
bill is regarded as a more reasonable
and more carefully prepared bill. 1t
provides for a one per cent tax.

The downward trend of taxes on
farm land was seen as ray of hope
for agricultural conditions by Dean
John F. Cunningham of the college of
agriculture, Ohio State University.
Addressing Farmers Week
gathering at the university, Dean
Cunningham declared 80 far as COM
modify prices are concerned, we can
not expect to see them rise SO long as
the farmers purchasing dollar is at
such low ebb.
"Some lines of commodities are al
ready adjusted to the lower figure, but
others seem to rest on the assumption
that it is better to maintain prices and
do small business rather than to an
nounce prices that will move goods.
''These dealers will wake up and
find that more alert business men have
passed them in the race for the farm
er's dollar"
In the matter of farm debts, Cum
ningham suggested plan of extend
ing the time on mortgage loans and
lowering the rate of interest.
"Many banks and other creditors
have made the mistake of foreclosing
on property that Immediately becomes
liabilities rather than assets" he as
serted.

GOVERNOR INSISTS THAT OHIO

DESIGNED TO HELP ALL

SEEKS NEW REGULATIONS TO
ENABLE STATE TO ASSIST
BANKS, BUILDING &
LOANS IN CONDUCT
OF BUSINESS
By Elmer P. Fries

Redemption of Democratic state
platform pledges to revise and streng-
then banking laws and building and
loan regulations to safeguard deposit
tors was urged upon the Ninetieth
general assembly as solemn obliga-
ton this week. In collaboration with
Theodore Tangeman, state director of
commerce, Governor George White
has worked out remedies for the con-
ditions that have handicapped hun
dreds of thousands of thrifty citizens
whose money has been frozen" in
financial institutions crippled by ex-
traordinary effects of the depression.
Principal reform in building and
loan operation proposed by the admin
istration is sought through legislation
empowering the state to assist in
liquidation of these mutual organiza-
tions. Such power is now employed
by the state in supervision of banks.
Building and loan experts to whom
the chief executives program has been
submitted agree that its extension to
their institutions will eliminate in the
future many difficulties that have been
encountered in the past two years.
Just as the state has been able to
intervene in the interest of depositors
of distressed banks, to free assets and
to reorganize the banks, it will be able
to take over building and loan COM
panies under the suggested statutory
revisions.
Benefits of the federal Reconstruc-
tion policies also will made available
for building and loan associations thru
the Governors plan.

"If we are to make any improve
ment on our farm we must make it
through our children" said H. H,
Casselman, Old Fort, state speaker at
the Monroe farmers institute last
week at Plumwood. He pointed out
that the farm was the best place in
the world to raise children. He urged
farmers to look for the bright things
about the farm rather than the dull
things. Mr. Casselman outlines some
of the dull features of other occupa-
tions, and stated that he was of the
opinion that farm life was much
more pleasant than many other occu-
pations.
Mrs. Lottie Randolph, New Lexing-
ton, state speaker, urged the people to
keep young with their children. She
said that the reason so many children
are not interested in the home is that
parents have forgotten how to play
with the children. In talking Of faces,
Mrs. Randolph said that there we're
three kinds of faces. The frowning
face, the expressionless face and the
smiling or pleasant face. She outlined
the characteristics of the persons who
wore these faces.

quilts and posters added to the inter-
est and success of the institute. The
grain, baked goods and eggs were sold
at auction following the institute to
help to defray expenses.
