From Columbus
Youngstown Plan
Will Take Taxes
From County

Representative George c. Phil
pot said today that Noble county
stands to lose approximately
$12,233 if senate bill No. 43
would successfully pass the
house of representatives. Already
approved in the state senate, and
expected to- appear on the floor
in the lower house, possibly to-
day, the bill favors metropolitan
counties in the distribution of in
tangible taxes and all the money
collected on bank deposits and
bank shares.
Noble county's representative
stated the bill, favored by Gov
ernor Lausche, called on 81 coun-
ties to carry the freight for 81
counties. Under the present law,
all such taxes collected in Noble
county remain hers.
If the House approves senate
bill No. 43, more often referred
to as the youngstown Plan,
Noble eounty's tax money will
have to be sent to Columbus
and will be distributed on a for
mula basis, rs percent on the
basis of municipal valuation and
% percent on population.
While Noble county loses, the
large metropolitan districts like
Youngstown, Toledo, Dayton,
Akron and Columbus gain heav-
lily at the expense of Noble
county. According to Represent
ative Philpot, the proposed bill
violates the home rule policy
and takes away Noble county's
rights to use its own tax money.
Representative Philpot said to-
day that he will fight this pro-
gram with all his strength to
prevent Noble county from los
ing this money, believing that it
should be retained in the county
of origin as at present.
In Columbus Tuesday from
Noble county seeking support
for retaining the old law, were
County Auditor Jack Wilson,
Ira Pryor, treasurer, and May
wood j. Love, member of the
county board of commissioners.

To Elect Candidates

Little activity is reported on
the political front so far with the
deadline for filing candidacy pc
titions in the off-year election
less than a month away. j. K.
Walkenshaw, clerk of the board
of elections, today announced
that all petitions must be filed
with the clerk CT the board by
August 10.
This year, trustees, local school
board and village council mem
bers and mayors make up the
plurality which will seek public
office. One of the main campaigns
of interest will be the election
of three members to the five-man
county school board. Board mem
bers who will probably be seek
ing reelection this fall include
F. w. Burlingame, Sharon; Will
liam B. Schott, Enoch township;
and L. E. Hedge, of Brookfield
township.
1t was intimated by a source
close to the county school system
that all three members Would
again seek the office. No petit
tions for the positions have been
filed at the local election office
however Other members of the
present board include E. o. Bond
and J. L. Gibson.
Six villages throughout the
county will elect mayors and
members to their village councils
in November. In Caldwell this
race seems to be wide-open at the
present time. George L. Thomp-
son, former clerk of the common
pleas court, officially took him
self out of the mayoralty race
Tuesday when he stated that he
had no desire to fill the office of
mayor and that all reports to the
contrary were erroneous.
Homer Johnson, formerly with
the state health department is re-
ported to be considering entering
the race for mayor of Caldwell.
When interviewed Monday, hcW-
ever, Mr.. johnson intimated that,
he would make up his mind de-
finitely after watching develop
ments that are now pending.
The present incumbent, Mayor
Sam Secrest has steadfastly
denied any ambitions toward re-
turning to the office as head of
the village. Several persistent
rumors however have it that he
will run. The mayor stated re- !
Gently that his present health was
not such as to permit such a
move and that he was looking

Daredevils Here
For the first time in over ten
years, the fair board has booked
a show comprised of daredevils,
who will startle and chill the
fans with astounding feats of
skill and daring on the track in
front of the grandstand Saturday
evening. The famous Lucky Lott
troupe of helldrivers will make
their appearance at 800 Satur-
day evening. Only one perform
ance will be given.
Enlarge Grandstand
This year the fair board will
build special bleacher seats in
front of the grandstand to accom-
modate crowds at the races and
evening shows. For several years
in the past it has been necessary
to stage two shows nightly to
accommodate the crowds. This
year only one show will be con-
Quoted each evening, starting at
800 o'clock. The new section
will be built from cement blocks
and 2x12's in such a manner that
they can be stored
At the present time the capac-
ity of the grandstand is 1900
persons. Upon completion of the
bleacher seats the fair officials
hope to provide facilities to care
for at least 1000 fairgoers.

expectations OF flnQlng some
thing in the way of housing, Last
Thursday the rush started, and
has gained momentum daily.
Several have been fortunate to
find housing facilities, yet the
need to supply many more re-
mains most urgent. The people
of Caldwell have been asked to
do their utmost to see that ad-
equate housing is made available
to as many as possible.
In addition to homes it was
stated, ground space for trailers
is also in demand: Where con-
veniences are available, property
owners are asked to let it be
made known that trailer space
can be arranged. .-
Five years ago similar hous-
ing shortage struck Caldwell
when the original of the pipe
lines were constructed, through
this section. During the war
years many homes were made
available to pipeline employees
since many local people had Sc
cured employment elsewhere in
war plants.
Today, the local picture i'm
plies a different story. Strip
mine employees have taken up
practically every available home
in Caldwell and in adjoining vii
lagos.
To find housing and lodging
for over $50 newcomers is a
problem that the people of Cald-
we'll and adjacent villages must
work out. The present housing
situation is only of temporary
nature, since the pipeline en-
ployees move as their work pro-
crosses.
1t has been automatically stat
ed that the majority of those
seeking homes now will remain
in this immediate area for only
a period of three months. For
that reason only temporary ac-
comodations are necessary and
nothing of a too permanent ma
ture is expected.
In the event that anyone has
a room, or rooms, or apartment
facilities, or ground space for
trailer Accommodations, that can
be utilized to alleviate the pres
ent situation, kindly phone Raj
ston's Rexall drug store or The
Journal and give them the nee
essary information. These firms
will in turn contact pipeliners
and arrange for a meeting of the
parties concerned.
1t is the peoples responsibility,
especially those who live in
Caldwell, to see that the new
comers realize that every con-
scientious effort is being made
to bring this situation to a happy
conclusion,

From Washington
Secrest Opposes
Salary Increase
Bill' Passage

"On FSi ay, July 8, bill
passed tfF House to increase the
salaries of about $50 top officials
of the United States government
by an average of $5,000.00 per
year.
1T was impossible to get a rec
ord vote and for that reason / is
sue this statement to inform my
constituents that i did not vote
for this bill.
s'In the first place most of
these officials have life time po-
sitiQEs at big salaries. They have
big retirement benefits when
they cease to work for the gov
ernment. None of them have
campaign expenses or are direct
ly responsible to the people"
Cong. Secrest, in commenting
on his action why he opposed
passage of the salary increase
bill," continued, In the second
place, this is a time to reduce
government spending rather than
increase it. Tax collections are
falling sharply, last years deficit
was more $1,800,000,000 and
3,500,000 Americans are unem-
ployed. We should balance our
budget and retire our debt and
my efforts and votes have been
consistent toward that end.
81 agree that corporations pay
their executives fabulous sal
aries but they pay them out OF
profits. Any added expenditures
by the federal government must
come from borrowed money
These great salary increases, al
this time, are wholly unwarrant-
ed.
against my vote, the House
recently created "a new federal
judges and gave enormous raises
to top military brass.
1T is a procession of these
bills for new expenditures, in
cluding billions for Europe, that
are sapping the resources and
destroying the financial security
of the United States.
In conclusion, Cong. Secrest
said, in the field of old age Sc
curity ! have long urged a plan
on pay as we 60 basis. Every
needless expenditure keeps us in
debt and renders us less able to
care for disabled veterans and
other just and permanent obli-
cations of our government.
