respondent will tell you. What i'm
pressed us most was the patriotic
address by Atty Bernhard Mercer.
1t was an address that should have
been heard by a much larger crowd.
AS we listened to him our mind
went back to the time we boarded
in the home of his grandfather,
Fred Mercer, at Chesterhill. His
great grandmother King was with
them. They were great readers
and discussed the events of the
day. While it was several years
before women were granted suff-
rage these good women discussed
politics with much more knoWl-
edge than many Of our politicians
of the present, which perhaps is re-
sponsible for the fact that folks
who have political itching in Nor
gan county Republican circles eth
er see Bernhard-or wish they had.
We read Of a barber shop where
the BARRIERS don't talk, which made
us think of the one on Kennebec
avenue. where they only relay in
formation. Do you know that
more of the boys in service write
to John Fox than to anyone else in
the county?
In writing of the Memorial SER
vice we forgot to tell you that there
are SO soldiers buried in the
100 in Wind
sor township.
1t may be of interest to some of
our readers to know that Windsor
high school has graduated 532 dur
ing the 52 years it has been in ex-
istence. OF the four graduated in
the first class, 1890, Attorney Link
c. Russell, Newark. and Attorney
Charles C. White, Cleveland, are
still going strong. The deceased
members of that class were Attor-
ney Frank McDermott and Rev.
Harley Fleming.
Mrs. T. N. Shook and sons Rich
ard and Donald, South GAINESVILLE,
were holiday visitors with the for
mer's parents, C. B. and Ruby A.
Ray, Stockport.
We spent short time at Big
Bottom park, Sunday p. m. In
spite of the fact that there has been
much money wasted on the i'm
provements, it is one of the finest
parks along the Muskingum. Not
only Morgan county folks, but folks
from every state in the union visit
it, we were informed by E. A. Scott,
who was caretaker for II years.
The park was dedicated in Septem-
ber, 1905. The trees which were
set by Obadiah Brokaw, the doner,
have made a wonderful growth.

Ordnance Journal
Investigated After
Revealing Secrets
Facts Regarding Bomber
And Tank Production
Disclosed in Magazine

The Army Ordnance Association,
which this week published certain
military information Of . nature
strictly forbidden tn the public press,
was under inquiry today by the War
Department and the newly created
Censor Board.
Information revealing pertinent
facts regarding bomber and tank
production, as well as disclosures
about new Army materiel was con-
tanned in the current issue Of Army
Ordnance, the journal of the asso-
citation, which enjoys a semi-ofi-
cial status, since its officers and
directors are retired and active Army
ordnance officers.
Much OF the information was dis
closed in uncensored advertisements
giving the location Of plants and
production figures, all Of which Is
now in violation of the wartime
censorship code, unless its lise Is
officially authorized.
War Department officials were put
in an embarrassing position by the
disclosures. They explained that
the information was gathered be-
fore the wartime censorship rules
applied.
It was believed that all Of the
numerous service journals will come
under stricter surveillance in the
future.
A spokesman at the Censor Board
said he thought such journals
should be made to comply strictly
with censorship rules, as newspa-
pers or any other publication are
required,

Cut in Pay Roll Tax
And Greater Benefits
Urged by D. {. Board
Annual Report Coils
For Relief Of Burden
On Employers

Reduction of the unemployment
compensation tax rate now charged
to District employers and liberaliza-
ton OF benefit provisions Of the job
less Insurance Act were recommend
ed to Congress by the District Un-
employment Compensation Board In
its annual report made public to-
day.
The board urged that the act be
amended Ito reduce the contribu-
lions payable by employers by means
of an equitable formula which will
relieve employers Of any excess
burden of taxation and at the same
time preserve the solvency Of the
unemployment trust fund against
heavy Withdrawals in time Of emer-
gency."
District employers now pay . 81
per cent tax on their pay rolls. IN
der a bill which has been pending
in Congress for several months the
tax would be reduced to one-half
of l per cent Immediately. The
rate would be readjusted each year
by means Of a formula based on
the amount OF contributions and
benefit payments.
Recommends Higher Benefits.
The boards annual report, sub
mitted by its chairman, Commits
sioner John Russell Young, recon-
mended that the act be amended
to increase benefits payable to ell
gible claimants from $18 week for
a period of 10 weeks to $50 q week
for a maximum period Of 20 weeks.
The report also urged an amend
ment to protect the benefit rights
of individuals who have entered or
who will enter active service in the
United States military and naval
forces.
Although the board made no spe-
cific recommendation in its report
concerning a formula for reducing
the tax rate, it was recalled that at
hearings conducted by Representa-
tive McGehee, Democrat. Of Missis-
sippi, sponsor of the tax-reducing
legislation, the board went on rec
ord in favor of the plan provided IN
the pending bill. John A. Marshall,
director of the board, pointed out
at that time that the unemployment
compensation reserve fund was large
enough to pay benefits for the next
10 years without collecting any addi-
tional taxes.
Favorable Report Ordered.
The Judiciary Subcommittee Of
the House District Committee which
handled the McGehee bill, ordered .
favorable report following the hear
ings last fall, but the measure has
not yet been reported to the full
District Committee.
While the McGehee bill was being
considered by the Judiciary Sub
committee, Congress last November
amended the act to extend the
effective date of the merit rating
provisions from July /, 1912, to July
/, 1913.
Benefits paid during 1941 amount
ed to $2,127,679.71, while taxes paid
into the trust fund by local en-
ployers totaled Sc, 493 $50, the boards
report showed. AS Of last December
81, the balance in the trust fund
was $24, 900, 1883.
The benefit payments last year
compare with $1,675, 900 in 1898, the
first year benefits became payable:
81 ,450, 900 in 1889, and 2,089, $40 in
1910. Total benefits paid in the four
years was $7,347, 635 SO, which is less
than one-third OF the total collected
from employers. The average bene-
fit check last year was $12.12.
