planning to check Noble
county business returns with
in so days after the tax
collection is finished. Farmers
will also be checked although
only spot checks will be made
in the case of most farmers.
Mr.. Warrington said that the
department would go over re-
turns in the near future and
check them against income tax
returns and other data. The tax
department man said that per-
sons who failed to file returns
in previous years would be CIV
en- due consideration if they
called at the auditors office and
filed the necessary forms. "Per-
sons who fail to file and make
payments on their personal
property will be dealt with ac-
cordingly', Mr.. Warrington said.
In years past, farmers have
brought their tax forms to the
office of the county auditor and
employees in the office have
filled out the forms for them.
This policy will not prevail any
longer, the tax representative
said, Monday. Business men and
farmers will be required to Sc
cure the blanks from the auditor
and fill them out either at home
or at the office.
Auditor Jack Wilson has an
nounced that he will remain op-
en- all day Saturday to allow the
farmers to file returns while
they are in town during the day.
OF special interest to many
farmers was a list of valuations
drawn up by the department of
taxation. The list was complied
by the department in Columbus
from information received from
the u. S. Department of Agri-
culture and is not a true value
but an estimated one.
Included in the valuation
sheets are the following items
and values: corn, $1.18; wheat,
$1.91; oats, 70 cents; loose alfal-
ia, $21 a ton; clover and timothy
hay, SIT ton. Farm animals
included horses (plugs) $55 and
up; saddle horses, 5000 and up.
Grade milk cows and bulls, $170
up; purebred milks cows and
bulls, $500 and up.
Hogs ranged from SIS for fat
hogs to SIT for feeders. Brood
sows were listed at $40. Rough
beef feeders are supposedly
worth $14, beef cattle, $20.50,
and veals, $26. Sheep are listed
as: grade ewes, SIS to $40, pure
bred ewes come at $40 to 80,
grade rams are estimated at $40
to $50 and purebred rams at $25
to $40. Wool is reported as be-
ing worth so cents. Other list
ings, too involved in detail, can
be scanned by the taxpayer at
the auditors office.

green shrubs growing outside but
it becomes a more serious fire haz-
ard every hour. At the end of a
week, it win be highly hammable.
It is best to bring in fresh tree
as short a time before Christmas
as possible, and to remove it as
soon afterwards as you can. If you
do this, ordinary precautions should
prevent it from taking fire. Famil-
les, clubs, churches, and business
men who want to keep their trees
from a week or more before Christ
mas until after New Years day
need observe special safeguards to
keep it reasonably safe.
The tree can be kept fresh if you
set it up in pan of water. Cut of
the base of the tree at an angle
at least / inch above the original
cut and keep it standing in water
during the entire period that the
tree is in the house, adding water
to the jar or tub in which the tree
stands at intervals to keep the wa
ter level always above the cut. This
method when used with fresh trees
reduces the fiammability as effec-
lively as any fireproofing chemicals.
Chemicals may cause the tree to
turn brown or yellow or to lose its
needles.
The place you select for your
tree, said the Council, should be
well away from stoves, radiators,
and other sources Of heat. When
you smoke, keep away from the
tree.
The tree should be well secured
against falling by inconspicuous
wires holding it against the wall.
The tree should be 80 placed that
standing or fallen, it cannot block
doorway which might be needed
to escape from the room.

! 1t states the principal domes-
tic issue to be liberty against
| socialism, which is defined to
! include RECOMMENDATION by the
| Federal Government, and bases
its program of progress on lib
erty and incentive.
THE Democrats have asked two
questions: How has your liberty
been limited? Where is the social
ism?
Liberty has not yet been greatly
limited, because both the Repub-
lican 80th Congress and the Demo-
cratic 8lst Congress have blocked
Mr.. Truman's program. But in one
respect liberty has been seriously
limited: Taxes are higher than
they have ever been in peacetime,
consuming Is per cent of the ma
tional income.
Since large part of these taxes
is passed on into higher prices, the
poorest workman or housewife is
probably paying at least Is per
cent of his or her income in taxes,
directly or indirectly. The average
for all people is 25 per cent. This
means that men are not left free
to spend the money which they
earn by the sweat of their brows
on those things which they need
and desire. The government takes it
away from them and spends it on
services which they may or may
not want, and which they may or
may not get.

increased, as the Truman plans
would require, it could reach a

Bob Secrest

For many years conservation
and sanitary officials have been
greatly worried by pollution of
the Ohio River and its tribu-
taries. The chief source of pollu-
ton are acids and other waste
products from mines and fac
tories and the dumping of un-
treated sewage by towns and
cities directly into the Ohio
River and streams flowing into
it. After years of piecemeal eff
fort, it was fully realized that
action by individual states could
never solve the problem. Great
progress was made when eight
states in the Ohio River water
shed signed a water sanitation
compact on June 80, 1948. These
states agreed on an anti-pollu-
ton plan and the steps necessary
to carry it forward. City officials
in Marietta realized they must
voluntarily plan for a sewage
disposal system or be compelled
to build such a system by order
of the state sanitary officials.
Consequently, they applied to
the federal government for a
loan of $50 440 to plan a sewage
disposal plant estimated to cost
a million and one-half dollars. l
have informed the local officials
of Marietta that this loan has
been approved. The city is not
charged interest, but will be re-
quired to repay the loan when
construction is started. If the
city acts in good faith and
through no fault of its own finds
it impossible to proceed with
construction, repayment of the
loan is not required. This pro-
gram is a part of the effort by
the federal government to en-
courage local communities to
plan worthwhile projects. Mar
ietta was the first city in Ohio
to apply for such a loan.

Maurice II. FRANKS many of our
businessmen are content to ex-
pound themselves to each other,
which is equivalent to lecturing
themselves in a mirror. In short,
so far as public education is con-
cerned, all they are doing is TAX
ing in each others wash.
For some strange reason, our
businessmen seem to go along
on the assumption that there is
no way by which sound instruc-
ton or information can be put
across to the workers and the
general public. They seem to be
haunted by the fear that any or
all information coming from
them, the businessmen, will be
ignored, misunderstood or dis
torted. This cockeyed notion has
given the man out-Size inferior
ity complex, which has done
more real damage to the rela-
tionship between workers and
employers than anything thus
far concocted by rackateers or
radicals.
The Communist doesn't bother
his head about fancy phrases; he
doesn't care snap about such
highfalutin' stuff as "semantics"
or as to what the businessman
may think or do about his stuff.
Result: a whole generation of
people growing up with little or
no accurate knowledge of the
mechanism that makes our bus
mess tick. Many within this new
generation are toying with the
theory that our Enterprise Sys-
tenn is largely predatory and
that our republican form Of gov.
ernment is outmoded and should
be replaced by real" Democ-
racy, such as is now being tried
in England-or maybe even in
Russia.
The tragedy is that the bus
inessman himself is more res
ponsible for the present condi-
ton of confusion than any other
