On Farmers-On February 10, in
agricultural Nebraska, Mr.. Taft de-
clared that the Governments 80 per
cent of parity price floor is too high,
advocated immediate lowering there
of. No other public man has taken a
similar stand on farm prices, though
many agree with Mr.. Taft. They well
know that the main reasons for high
food prices are the farm price poll
cies.

Farmer Speaks Out
Against Daylight
Time For Oakland

To The Editor:
| read in your paper the recent vote
on whether or not to turn the time
ahead one hour, which was very close.
| think the county people should
have some say about this. 1t is a head
aches to the farmers, and to the par
ents who must send their children to
school by bus.
The farmers need all the real sun
time, to get their work done. We can't
make hay till the dew dries which is
plenty late by sun time. We can't quit
work in the middle of the afternoon
when we want to go to a public meet
ing or anything held by this crazy
time. Since the food is furnished by
the farmers let them have the real
sun time God intended for them. Take
the farmers produce from the store
shelves and what have you left?
Let's not have a mess of time like
we had last year. Let the town people
put themselves in the place of the
country people for a while. They
would soon change their minds about
twisting time ahead. Let us rural peo-
pie speak for our rights about the
time. We have no say about prices on
what we produce, or what we buy.
We get the last raise and the first
cut on what we produce.

Price reductions on more than $50
products of ESQ Standard Oil COM
pany will be made Immediately, ac-
cording to an announcement by M. j.
Rathbone, president, through H. S.

In addition there is offered a sum-
mer "fll-up" discount of seven-tenths
of cent per gallon on Kerosene, to
encourage persons to buy during the
off season to fill their storage tanks

COMPLETELY MISSED


Sometimes we are much surprised
at the way a story actually appears
in The Republican, compared to the
way it started on its journey from
the typewriter. Sometimes word
here or there omitted, comma or
period added on missing, line or two
transposed may change the entire
meaning.
1t isn's often that paragraph or
two are omitted. but that was the
case last week, and as a result all the
notoriety that Grantsvillc received on
its most severe windstorm was a sub
heading Garage Windows Broken"
We can imagine that Grantsvlle
would have been quite pleased had
the storm itself passed them up, like
it appeared this newspaper did.
We had written of the damage to
the Motor Service company. the John
Hershberger barn, Mark Peachy slos.
barn on the Hanft farm at Keyser
Ridge with the killing of several cat
tie, barns Of Galen Beachy, Melchoir
Georg and on the Loechel farm I'M
rooted, but all this went for naught
as the eyes of the linotype operator
missed those paragraphs entirely.
The only reason we mention this
at all is to assure the readers in that
section of our sincere desire to give
them the best news coverage possible;
and also to admit that sometimes, if
that same linotype operator didn't
catch" few Of our mistakes there
might be some unusual statements
from time to time.

eulOgy of Senator Taft He has been
criticized here in the past and easily
may be in the future. But, as mat
ter of fairness to high-minded and
truth-telling man, there seems an OBJ
legation to report more fully upon
his unparalleled political courage. If,
under similar circumstances, there
has been any public man in American
political history who has equaled the
Taft demonstration in this respect, it
would be interesting to know his
name and see the evidence. So far as
Mr.. Taft is concerned, the facts are
clear, recent and indisputable.
Undeniably, the four most power
full groups of voters in the country
and the four most influential Hobbies
in Washington-are those represent
ing labor, the farmers, the Negroes
and the veterans. To these four all
presidential aspirants, except Mr..
Taft truckle and cater, often in a
humiliating way. Mr.. Taft is friendly
to all four but not subservient;
anxious to treat them justly, but COM
pletely independent, the one man
mentioned for the presidency who has
had the fortitude to oppose all four
when he thought they were wrong.
Here is his record in this Congress:
On Labor-He put through the Taft
Hartley Labor Act, despite violent de-
nunciation from every labor boss of
every labor faction, and a grand
chorus of threats to his political life
On Veterans-He was the one man
in Congress who voted and spoke a.
gainst the terminal leave pay bill
which added approximately two and
half billion dollars to the cost of the
war after it was over. Mr.. Taft could
have refrained from voting, need not
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1948-04-01

speaks and acts solely from con-
viction; that he does not straddle;
that he can neither be cowed nor ca
joled. He wants to be President, but
he has made it extremely clear that
he does not want it badly enough to
stultify himself or sacrifice his self
respect. He may not realize his am
bition, but his gain in public esteem
will be sufficiently great to compen-
safe for that. Perhaps he lacks
"charm" and "glamor," which is too
bad. But there also is about him no
trace of that oily smugness and
acterizes so many who run for high
office.

He Has The Nerve

Probably the odds are against Sena-
tor Robert A. Taft becoming the
Republican presidential nominee. Ger
tainly, he runs poorly the popularity
polls. He is the favorite target for the
self-styled journalistic and political
liberals" There are plenty of things
about him to criticize. He makes mis-
takes and flaws can be picked in his
voting record. 1t is easy enough to
disagree with him.
Nevertheless, even if he loses in
the convention, it is altogether likely
that Bob Taft will have gained more
than any other-perhaps more than
all the other aspirants combined For,
what he will have gained is increased
admiration for his ability and respect
for his character Those gains he will
have made because of what he SO
clearly is as a man. He will have made
them not among the prejudiced and
ignorant but among the thoughtful
and intelligent men and women in
both parties all over the country. Per-
haps the highest tribute to him is
that neither the poorest of his oppon-
ents nor the shoddiest of his critics
even remotely reflects upon his in
tellectual integrity and complete sim
cerity.

more harm than good; that the right

'CI0 Says Wages Lag
15% Behind Prices,
Presses for Raises
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Leaders of the CIO have set forth
another argument for substantial
wage increases" this year.
In report yesterday to CIO
President Philip Murray, CIO eco
nomists claimed loss of Is per cent
to wage earners between prices and
take home pay since January, 1945.
What is called real wages" fell
that far behind, allowing for tax
deductions, the economists wage
study said.
Mr.. Murray, who also heads the
steelworkers, with 100000 members,
will be negotiating for Substantial
wage increases from United States
Steel Corp. and others beginning
April 80. Mr. Murray also wants a
pension plan.
Packers Request Is First.
The CIO president won't be the
first to bat in this springs wage
contests, however. The Packing
House Workers, headed by Ralph
Helstein of Chicago, are poised to
strike March Is for a 29-cent hour
ly pay increase. That figure was
chosen on the basis of a Bureau of
Labor Statistics study, which Mr..
Helstein says showed a three-mem-
ber family needed 20 cents an hour
more than the average packing
house worker was receiving.
Other key CIO unions in the 1948
labor management tests include the
United Electrical Workers and WAL
ter Reuther's United Auto Workers.
Mr.. Reuther opens negotiations
with General Motors next month
for a 30-cent hourly increase, and
already is bargaining with Chrysler
Motor Co. for a 35-cent hourly
boost.
The electrical workers are nego-
tiating with General Electric and
Westinghouse and have confined
their demand to a "cost of living"
raise of about 1929 a week.
The CIO study, contained in the
monthly Economic Survey" said
that in the 1S months since OPA
was abandoned, retail food prices
have risen ~ per cent, clothing is up
% per cent and rent has increased
ga per cent.
although the price advance since
June, 1916, has been interrupted on
four occasions, the first three in
terruptions proved to be only tenn
porary," the publication said. The
most recent break. although the
sharpest to date, it added, still has
not made itself felt and under
lying conditions remain unaffected" !"
Runaway prices have brought on
big loss in workers purchasing
power, the Outlook said, and the
gap between prices and wages which
widened in 1945, was not cut down
in 1916 and 1947, in spite of two
rounds of postwar wage increases.
The CIO economists said that
