White Action Praised

Columbus -Conceding that protests
from those interests directly affected
will be vociferous, editors of infuen-
tial Ohio newspapers generally view
the state administration emergency
taxation proposals as justifiable. I'm
employment relief needs and the finan-
cial plight of the public schools, they
point out, make the raising of addi-
tional revenue imperative and the leg
islature must accept the suggestions
Of Governor George White or devise
more acceptable methods.
AS the Independent Cleveland Plain
Dealer sees it:
after careful consideration Of the
states fiscal requirements Gov. White
recommends what in his judgment is
the most appropriate revenue legisla-
ton for meeting them. The governors
program involves the taxation of soft
drinks and bottled beverages, of adj
missions and of tobacco and cigars
He urges that revenues from soft
drinks and admissions be employed fol
direct relief while those from tobacco
be made available for education, par.
/ ticularly for the aid of weak schoo
districts.
"By comparison with other state:
and the revenue legislation they con
template Ohio will be fortunate indeed
i if it succeeds in meeting the fisca
problems Of this trying period withou
more and heavier taxes than the gov
ernor proposes at this time. 1t goe
without saying that this states fsca
situation is comparatively good, ant
that it stands in the next year or tw,
to reap the benefits Of the program O.
economy adopted two years ago am
rigidly adhered to throughout the bi
ennium.
'.Without the efficient public house
keeping of that period we should b
confronted now not with a relativel,
few new levies but with a complete
revamping Of our revenue system, wit
a general sales tax or an income ia.
probably unavoidable"
The Republican Cincinnati Time
Star thus expresses its views:

wide mailing list on January 13.
Rats cost the average farmers IN
the United States $40 year according
to figures compiled by the Z. S. Dept.
Of Agriculture. This is an annual loss
Of 100000 on farms. In addition
to this rats are a menace to health,
they pay no dividends, are always on
the job and perform no useful service.
Red squill will be used on three diff
ferent prepared bats in the campaign.
The bait will be distributed to farm
ers, at cost on February %. The bats
are meat, fish and cereal. The bait
will cost SOC per package and will be
distributed for the campaign only. No
bait will be distributed other than on
February %. Distribution points are
being arranged in all parts of the
county for the convenience of the
farmers.
Only those persons who order bait
before Feb. Is can get it at the time
of the campaign. The bait must be
ordered from the U. S. Biological sur
vey. The bait is prepared especially
for the county wide rat campaigns
now being held in all parts of the
United States. The rat poison is pc
culiar in that it is poisonous to rats
but relatively harmless to all other
animals.

SESSIONS OPEN

Washington, D. c., told the farmers
"there is little hope for the raising of
prices of farm products by legislation.
Only when the federal, state and local
budgets are balanced will prices rise. "
President-elect Roosevelt, probably
will take it on himself to force a bal
ancing Of the budget, Friday, asserted,
and for this reason some rise in farm
products may be expected.
The domestic allotment plan was
branded as insanity by Friday. "Only
balanced budget will bring a price
increase, and in the meantime there
will be moratorium and tax reduction
on farm debts
Every day farmer delays planting
his corn after the middle Of May cuts
his yield one bushel, John Silpher
soils and crops expert at Ohio State
university told the farmers.
Early seeded oats yield better thar
those seeded late, Silpher declared Al
acre planted March 25, yields Ii bush
els more than when planted April Is
and the kernels are plumper and more

Soy beans seeded after May l yielt
less than when planted earlier. Eacl

IN THE ARENA OF


.The financial needs Of the state
government are real and obvious. The
proposed taxes have the merit that
they are in part optional in character.
People will go to the movies and will
buy cigars and soft drinks whether
there is small tax on them or not.
The very fact that they are not forced
to pay the tax makes it more endur-
able. than if the payment We're actual
~ compulsory as with an income tax
which, to be productive, would have to
affect small incomes, or tax on the
actual necessities of life.
Gov White is not telling the peo-
pie of Ohio what they would like to
hear, but what he thinks they must
hear if their best interest is to be
served His financial program is bas-
ed on old-fashioned common sense
which quality has been George Whites
greatest asset ever since he became
prominent in the government of the
state"
The editor Of the Independent Gin,
cinnati Enquirer offers this comment
aIn submitting the new tax pro
posal to the legislature Governor
White expressed himself as being will
ing to consider any plan to raise tht
needed revenue which would be les.
painful than the plan suggested b,
him. II is doubtful if a generally les.
painful plan can be found. About th'
only other sources available are til,
income tax or to a sales tax on th
necessities Of life. Neither should b.
seriously considered.
f'The regrettable fact is that TIL
money must be had. Ohio canno
think of economizing too closely Of
aid to the needy. And, although th
schools are reaping in penury wha
they sowed in extravaganza, they can
not be allowed to close altogether il
the weak districts In the light 0
these emergencies it would appea
that the new taxes should be accepte
with as good grace as possible, an
with the belief that their effect G
the taxed industries will not be a
harmful as the interested people, quit
naturally alarmed, predict"

Emphasizing his determination to
make protection of depositors in build
ing and loan enterprises major ac-
complishment of his second term, Gov
ernor White thus counseled the law
makers:
"The ultimate ability of most OF
these associations, when properly and
economically managed to pay all their
obligations in full cannot be doubted
by those of US who still have faith IN
the assured future of our state.
Notwithstanding the difficulties,
some degree of relief can, however, be
furnished by the solvent associations
of those most in need and this must be
recognized by the associations as a
moraL obligation; the penalty for vio-
latioM Being more severe and often
more certain that the violation OF a
legal duty.
in those cases where building and
lean associations should be liquldateo
we have been confronted with the
drastic alternative of receivership with
all attendant expenses and destruction
usually accompanying such procedure
at is clearly apparent that some
method of dealing with these institu-
tions must be devised which will avoic
the unbearable overhead expenses anc
at the same time avoid hasty and un'
wise liquidation.
Building and loan associations
which have been so unwisely managed
that they are really unsound and II
cases where public welfare requires
dissolution, must be removed from th'
class known as building and loan as
sociations lest in the public mind the!
contaminate the entire body of sounC
institutions and for fear that unin
formed persons may entrust their saw
ings to those institutions. This shoulc
be done by methods less destructive
than the only method now provided
"Liquidating or realization corpora
tions, owned and controlled by the de
positors and stockholders of the pres
ent building and lean corporations ma.
insure orderlyt economical and equit
able liquidation and be for the best in
terests of the depositors, stockholder
and the community at large.
"The existing law must be strength
ened with regard to supervision an
new laws be framed which will pra
vent continuance or recurrence 0
the conditions now existing"

WHERE SOUTH WINDS BLOW
By Ebert Patterson


Under the silvery southern moon,
With its soul-inspiring glow,
Where January seems like June,
hear the soughing, plaintive tune
Of the softest winds that blow.
Blowing from the placid sea,
Blowing sweetly and low,
can feel, but cannot see,
Just what causes it to be
The softest winds that blow.
Blossoms on the orange trees,
Palms a-waving to and fro,
Humming birds and little bees
Reveling in this balmy breeze
Where the gentle south winds blow
The air is filled with sweet perfume,
Where the golden oranges grow;
So many flowers now in bloom,
With all of nature on a boom
Where the soughing South winds
blow.
Blow on, south winds, blow,
To my hearts delight;
Blow softly, sweet and low,
While think of those | know,
Where it's cold and drear tonight.
Der the plains of Ohio,
And the hills of Tennessee,
There must now be sleet and snow,
While the frigid north winds blow
O, this south winds melody!
'Tis quite novelty to me,
Watching sea birds come and go;
Where. life seems joyous and free,
In this land beside the sea-
Where the balmy south winds blow.
Yonder rolling, briny deep,
Whose beach is white as snow,
Has some secrets it will keep
It's rocked so many souls to sleep
Where the storms sometimes blow
While the seasons come and go,
With time drifting on SO fast,
This ceaseless tide will ebb and flow
And these balmy winds will blow,
just as long as time shall last.
North or south, east or west,
Wherever winds may blow,
Come floods. storms, calm and rest,
And everything's done for the best
BY God, who loves US so.

again but persisted in her original
