OF INTEREST TO TAX PAYERS

With the coming primaries, re-
newed interest is being shown in
government economy. Relief work
and distressed schools must be pro-
vided for, but it seems that certain
ly there is an opportunity for econ
omy in many other government ac-
tivities.
From 1920 when local and state
taxes in Ohio amounted to $780,
100000, we see them climb to to-
tai of s327,OO0,O00 in 1882, and
an estimated higher figure for last
year. 1t is doubtful If the increased
service to Ohio citizens has increas-
ed in this proportion.
Who pays these staggering
amounts-the rich man, the poor
man, the large or small business :?
Everyone pays taxes who consumes
goods. Tax the property owner and
he includes it in the rent he charges
for the use of his property. Levy
on the manufacturer and the
amount is added to the price of his
product. Tax the utilities and the
amount eventually finds it's way in
to the bill that the customer pays.
1t is estimated that Is percent of
the national income goes into tax
alton channels. That means the av-
erage man spends three months of
work out of each year for the priv
ilege of being governed. Unless
some economy is forthcoming, this
taxation ratio may increase, and it
is reasonable to imagine that we
might be taxed into a condition of
servitude.
Before approaching blanket
program in government economy,
everyone is interested in how it will
affect him. Will he be inconven-
fenced some by having certain To-
cal and state government activities
curtailed? The answer obviously
is, ''Yes," but the situation is no
different from the family that must
inconvenience itself to some extent,
to live within it's income.
Each government expenditure
probably benefits some class of peo-
pie. Additional expenditures then
must be made to satisfy the other
classes. 1t becomes a matter of ev-
eryone trying to keep up with the
Joneses.' A look behind the whisk-
ers of a government Santa Claus
reveals that he is only the taxpayer.
The office seekers today are the
spenders or conservators of public
money tomorrow Can't we get some
definite promises out of them on the
economy program, and then follow
through to see that those who are
elected keep their promises?-XX.

Party Honoring MIR. and Mrs. Fast

The Deavertown Women's club
gave a farewell party in honor of
Supt. and Mrs. Fl. e. Fast, Friday
evening, July 27, at the home of
Mrs. H. M. Fell. Games and con-
tests were enjoyed and a delicious
luncheon was served. Eva Spring,
club president, presented Mrs. Fast
with a beautiful painting, a gift
from the club. Mrs. Fast in
accepting it spoke few well chos-
en- words of appreciation. Mrs
Fast organized the club three years
ago, and was it's first president. 1t
has come to mean much to the conf
munity socially as well as educa-
tionally, and the club feels that it
has lost one of it's most valuable
members.
Mr.. Fast has been chosen to head
the schools at Ringgold, and will re-
side in McConnelsville. When Mr.
Fast came to Deavertown the school
had only third grade rating, but
in three years time he built it up

ing schools of the county, and the
community feels grateful for the in
terest he has taken in the rebuild
ing of it's schools, and will feel its
loss keenly.

LOANSF0R SMALL !
INDUSTRIES
House Banking Committee
Favors Bill Providing
$4,000, 900.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Banking Committee to-
day asked passage of bill to make
s44O, ,OOO, 900 available for loans to
small industries as a means of ad-
vancing recovery.
The committee submitted its for
NAL report when the House started to
consider the bill. Leaders sought
passage before nightfall.
At the same time, legislative right
of way was given for tomorrow to
another administration banking bill
which would extend the temporary
deposit insurance plan until July !,
1895.
Debate Limited.
Debate on each measure was lin
tied to three hours, with administra-
ton forces hopeful of voting down
the many amendments offered.
In its formal recommendation for
passage of the industry loan bill.
the Banking Committee said:
The r. F.. c. has been endeavoring
for several months to assist small in
dustries through loans to community
mortgage companies, without marked
success.
Because Of the distress of MANY
industries which are seeking loans
and the belief that they could be of
assistance in the recovery program by
nrnvtdino
and Because there are crippled indus
tries of the smaller and medium sized
type that will need nursing for sew
eral years. some of which are risks
that commercial banks should not
take, though ultimately good. many
of such industries deserve a chance
to re-establish themselves. and So
ciety generally will be better for it.
Emergency Credit Needed.
Banks ultimately will meet most
credit requirements for business and
industry, but the hearings before your
Committee show that there is need of
supplementary and emergency credit
for such business and industry
1T appears that the $500, 900 900
for (R. F. c. capital loans to-
gether with the capital loans au-
thorized to be made by the Federal
Reserve banks will be sufficient
to meet the need for credits for capi-
tai funds supplementary to the usual
normal bank credits"
Speaker Rainey told newsmen that
when the deposit insurance bill was
brought up he felt sure an amend
ment would be offered to make the
pay-off provisions mandatory. He eX-
pressed the belief that such an
amendment would be voted down.
