Vote For Bond Issues
For Jobs and Progress

Hamilton voters have an important
decision to make in the coming elec-
tion-a decision on whether their home
city is going to progress or stand still,
more upward or stagnate."
This was the statement this week Of
Robert j. Brown, chairman of the
United Citizens Committee for Jobs
and Progress, civic group supporting
passage of three bond issues in the
November 6 election. The bond issues,
totaling $2,676,O90, are for city-wide
improvements in sewage disposal and
treatment; parks, Fairgrounds and re-
creation; and to provide new and
adequate incinerator.
The largest issue is for $2,131, 700,
to provide city-wide disposal SYSTEM
including a modern treatment plant,
pumping stations, extensions and inn
provements Of present over-taxed sew

Six Veteran Candidates

With exactly one-fourth of the can
didates for City Council having war
records, the theory that service in the
armed forces is a political asset will
receive a test here when voters go to
the polls on November 6.
Although declining to predict the
probable winners, political observers
point out that the election could re-
suit in the control Of Council being
placed in the hands of the veterans.
Seven places are to be filled and the
list of candidates includes six veterans.

ing. Conservative estimates show more
than 10 millions with some difficulty
in hearing in one or both ears; mil
lions have disabling handicaps, often
accompanied by psychological frus-
tration, and more than / million school
children urgently need special acous-
tical attention. Among returning SOL
diers, we shall have scores of thou
sands of ear casualties to deal with.
Recent developments have given US
new powers to help this vast army of
the hard of hearing. Medicine has new
techniques. In the last few years, cleo
tronics have made more progress than
during the previous decades. Hearing
aids have been improved and their cost
lowered Very important also is the
more sympathetic and understanding
attitude toward the hard Oh nearing
that has been built by press and other
agencies.
Lip reading instruction has been
greatly improved and is more widely
available. By the full use of the pres
ent facilities, hundreds of thousands of
the acoustically handicapped can be
enabled to participate more fully and
to contribute their full share; vast
numbers of school children can be saw
ed from stunted development and need
less, lifelong tragedy.

WAGE GAINS WITHOUT STRIKES

w <t0L 0tI4NO
While the newspapers have been
featuring strikes, which at no time
have involved even half million work
ers, many millions of workers have re-
mained steadily at work. Many of them
have obtained wage increases. without
even hint or suggestion of striking.
But the daily press largely ignores
this peaceful wage increase movement.
Some idea of it's extent is given by
the American Federation of Labor
monthly economic survey.
"While newspaper headlines feature
strikes, thousands of union members
have gone forward with normal collec-
tive bargaining procedures and secured
substantial wage increases" the AFL

A letter of President Truman to the

to nationwide action, for with today's
knowledge and means, millions can be

cognize that workers have earned pay
increases and that pay must be rails
ed to provide buying power for post
war products. On the other hand, some
employers who do not realize that high
national income is vital, are attempt
ing to cut wages.
Some take advantage of the situa
ton that still ties wage rates to prices,
thinking they can profit by discredit-
ing collective bargaining. Others still
hope to destroy unions "Such attitudes
cause strikes" the survey points out.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

According to Pink it is in America s
own interest to maintain free trade
with the Philippines. He predicted that
if we raise the tariff bars our present
strAde,With the Islands will go largely
to China aa Japan.
at must not be assumed" he de-
clared, "that the continuation of free
trade between the Philippines and the
United States would be entirely for
the benefit Of the Islands. 1t is prob
able that the United States gains more
from the arrangement than the Philip
pines. In accepting preferential trade
agreements with one country and fun
neling it's trade and commerce through
that one country, the Philippines lose
the great advantage of diversified
trade with many nations. 1t is always a
sound policy not to have all the eggs
in one basket.
''In accepting close economic ties
with the United States, the Philippines
place their future in the hands of a
single nation rather than in world
economy" Pink added. ''The chief rea-
son for the continuation of free trade
and close economic ties with the Unit
ed States is the maintenance and i'm
provement of the standard of living.
''If the Philippines were obliged to
compete in the Far Eastern market,
there would be tendency to pull down
the standard of living towards that Of
China, India and Japan. Were it not
for this factor, the Philippines would
be on a sounder basis with wider eco
nomic horizons"
Discussing Americas obligations in
the rehabilitation of the Philippines
whether or not the Islands are grant
ed independence, Pink praised the ap-
pointment of Paul " McNutt as High
Commissioner.

Interference with the policies of
Gen. Macarthur in the administration
of Japan was deplored by Louis H.
Pink, president Of Associated Hospital
Service of New York, at luncheon
meeting of the Insurance Advertising
Conference held Oct. 18 at the Hotel
Roosevelt, New York City. His COM
ment and opinions seem sound and
worthy of the nations attention.
Pointing out the relation between
Americas policy in Japan and the re-
habilitation of the Philippines, Pink,
who served as special advisor to Presi-
dent Osmena in the reorganization of
the Commonwealth insurance indus
try, condemned "sniping from affair."
and urged that, despite mistakes being
made, the administration of Japan be
left to Macarthur and his associates
with "as little interference as possible
by remote control"
"The Philippine people," he said,
shave great confidence in Gen. Mac
Arthur. He has lived among them and
knows their problems. 1t is in the in
terest of the Philippines and of the
civilized world that Macarthur be
permitted to work out the salvation OF
the new Japanese Commonwealth with
out too much interference from afar.'
Declaring that the restoration OF
Japan is of more immediate and vita
Importance to the Philippines anc
China than to any other nation, Pink
said, ga starving, unemployed, en-
bittered Japan, seeking revenge, woule
make the independence of the Philip
pines difficult and dangerous in the
years to come. A democratic, peace
loving Japan with constantly rising
standard of living, will remove the
greatest bar to the enjoyment Of
political and economic independence.

Washington, D. c. NS).-Eleven
Negro locomotive firemen have filed
suit in District of Columbia Court
against 26 railroads and terminal COM
panies, the Brotherhood of Locomotive

ional Railway Mediation Board in an
effort to set aside an agreement which
excludes colored firemen from serving
on Diesel engines.
The agreement, set up in 1941, ex-
cludes from service on Diesel engines

who cannot be promoted to engineers,

ers, and low head dam in the Great
Miami river The dam, in addition to
carrying West Side sewage across the
river in large trunk sewer contain
ed in the center Of the dam, would
back up river water to form a pool
through the city, suitable for fishing
and boating.
A second bond issue, for $39, 800,
provides for expansions and improve
ments to the park and recreation sys-
tenn, including improvement of all ex-
listing parks, creation of new parks,
addition of new equipment, new swim
ming pools, new baseball, tennis, field
house and night-sports facilities.
The third bond issue, for $105,0 900 is
to provide an adequate incinerator for
the city, The present plant, designed
to handle 40 tons per day, is handling
rs tons under forced operation. This
hard usage is rapidly wrecking the
plant. A city of Hamilton's size should
have an incinerator to handle at least
100 tons daily.
Leaders of civic, fraternal, business,
labor, industrial, religious, and patrio-
tic organizations are members of the
committee sponsoring support of the
issues. They point out that, unless the
sewage system is improved, Hamilton
will not be able to attract or locate
new industries with new jobs and
money or to build the many homes now
, needed. This is a serious situation,
| they point out, as it affects future
progress and prosperity of the city
and it's residents. Creation of the sew
age treatment system would also clean
UP the river, remove it's stencil, mos
quitoes and health menaces and pro-
vide a civic beauty spot and recrea-
tional area.
"The parks and Fairgrounds must be
expanded and improved to give our
people good, safe, healthful recrea-
tion," Mr. Brown stated. He pointed
out the lack of such adequate facili-
ties in virtually every section of the
city as a prime argument in favor OF
the park bond issue.
| another interesting angle to these
bond issues is that this money will
be spent right here in Hamilton, for
materials and for hundreds OF jobs.
These jobs will come right when re-
turning servicemen and displaced war
workers need them. These won't be
leaf-raking jobs but jobs that will
give Hamilton these improvements it
needs so badly"
"It is of interest to property owners
| to know that present tax rates won't
| be raised a penny, to provide these
good things. Conservancy taxes, about
$3.50 per thousand dollars valuation,
is being paid now. These end in 1948.
| Average tax cost of the three bond
issues combined, certified to be about
| $2.O6, would not start until 1949. Thus
we could have all these necessary I'M
provements-and our tax rate would
be about $1.44 less than they are now.
9Thus, the bond issues become bar
gain, especially to the person who
wants his city to progress so that prop
erty values will be maintained. A vote
FOR all three bond issues will be a
vote FOR jobs and progress and your
taxes won't be more when you vote
FOR the bond issues"

a colossal figure of Washington.
Statues of the signers of the De-

be placed around the rotunda.
Because of construction costs, the
plan was simplifed to conform with
the present, classic proportions we
know today.
BY 1848, the society had raised
about $4,000 and the cornerstone
was laid with Masonic rites on July
of that year. The trowel used was
one Washington had used in laying
the capitol cornerstone in 1898.
During the Civil war work on the
monument was paralyzed, but con-
struction was resumed after the war
and finally completed in 1885. Total
cost was $1,200,000, with the monu-
ment society furnishing 100000 and
the federal government the remand

An average of 100000 visitors per

The Washington monument, 555
feet high when it was dedicated on
Feb. 81, 1885, has sunk only six
inches since that time, and settling
in recent years is estimated at about
one-fortieth of an inch per year.
Engineers say that its 81,120 tons
are so we'll distributed that it would
take a wind of more than las miles
an hour or probably a severe earth
quake to overturn the gigantic me-
mortal to our first president.
Its dedication by President Ches-

after Congress first proposed erection
of a monument to the "Father of
