PROPERTY ~REAPPRAISA

Regardless of how we feel about it, there will be another
property reappraisement in Noble county and this time, the
state department is going to make sure that the values are
high enough to suit them, not the county auditor or the
people here in general but the state department or better
known as the board of tax appeals.
Under the Hoffman act, which the general assembly
state auditor to withhold so percent of state subsidies to
local government until the respective county auditors re-
adjust property valuations in accordance with findings of
the board.
This automatically stops Auditor Jack Wilson from do
ing anything to the contrary and the state department has
already made it quite plain that the auditor and county of
fcials must go along or they will feel the pinch.
Business firms in Caldwell will know within the next
sixty days that the department means business for they are
going to check this county on the personal property returns,
which must be filed by Friday of this week. This comes
first with the property reapprasement in the offng.
Since the actual work of property appraisal is invested
in the hands of the county auditor, the boards chief con-
out of line with similar properties in comparable counties
with consideration given to use and productive value. This
means Noble should fall in line with Morgan, Monroe and
possibly Guernsey counties.
Field workers out of Columbus are now concentrating
upon a screening program"
The men are going into the recorders offices and check
ing deeds and transfers of property and comparing the sale
prices with the tax valuations. By this method they hope
to screen out the discrepancies.
They are then going ahead with the equalization pro-
gram because they are getting the information from the
screening process and that is what the board needs to pro-
coed with the ~readjustments.
1t is a well known fact that property and farms in the
selling far beyond their value, as listed on the tax duplicate
For instance a recent Caldwell property deal brought
$4,000 and it is a well known fact that it isn't on the tax
duplicate for one-fourth this amount.
But when the field men from the board of tax appeals
gets through, the value will zoom on the tax duplicate and
so will the taxes. They will check the recorders office and
note that the property sold for $4,000. They will then check
the tax duplicate and probably find tina. is has a listed value
of some where like $500 or even less.
In our opinion, the reappraisement completed, last fall
was a fair one in many respects for Noble county but the
final figure.
The next reappraisement will be something to talk about
for property owners are going to howl to high heavens.
And yet we have a feeling that 80 percent of them sup

and effective.
think the Committee Is
wrong in giving the impression
that the pension increases could
be paid for by the companies.
Whether there is competition or
no competition, prices are in
creased by any increase in cost
which apply more or less gen.
orally to the entire industry.
Producers certainly can not re-
duce their prices to less than the
cost of production for any length
of time even under heavy COM
petition.
With regard to the new pension
contracts there can be no doubt
that the increased cost to the steel
companies will be reflected in
higher steel prices, other things
being equal. The men cannot hope
to get something for nothing and
we should not try to deceive either
the men or the public into believ-
ing that pensions are to be paid
without cost to the consumers of
steel, that is, to practically all the
people of the United States.
1T DOES not follow that the pres
L ent price of steel may not be too
high. Perhaps it was too high be-
for the last increase. That is why
we should study further the ques-
ton whether there is real compe-
tition.
Profits are undoubtedly high,
but this may not prove lack OF
competition where there has been
a long period of extraordinary de-
mand, both during the war and to
make up the deficiencies of war.
The falling-off of demand may
very rapidly bring about the ac-
tive competition which will reduce
prices. Higher prices when there
is extraordinary demand are not
inconsistent with competition
They may even be desirable tenn.
porarily to provide the money tc
build the additional facilities sc
that further production may meet
the demand and restore more &C
tive competition.
The Joint Committee on the
Economic Report should make a
much more objective study than
it has and should abandon its
strong inclination in favor OF a
planned and controlled economy.
Liberty and competition r and
should remain the guide for
higher wages and living stand
ards in the United States.

FLOOD TAXES

Last year I was able to get
enough appropriated to pay the
taxes of the benefited property
owners in the Muskingum valley
as provided in the bill which
got through congress in 1888,
Sufficient funds are on hand and
carried in the present bill to pay
the taxes for 1850 and 1851. The
payment of these taxes by the
federal. government requires
about two hundred thousand dol
lars each year. Without this ap-
preparation it would be necessary
to levy flood control taxes.
The army engineers will round
out their recommendations for
the budget bureau in 1912 in No
vember and the budget bureau
will consider them in December.
1t is my plan to attend both
meetings on behalf of the con-
tinuation of the Licking project
just as I have done during the
past two years. At the same time,
I will take steps to assure funds
to pay the flood taxes for 1852.

troll act approved on the 18th of
June, 1898. 1t was included in the
comprehensive program for the
Ohio river basin. In 1899 the gov
eminent embarked on an about
defense program which made it
impossible to undertake new
flood control construction. The
Dillon Dam is the most impor-
tant of those on tributaries of
the Muskingum river, and will
give 3 percent more flood con-
troll in addition to that now af-
forded by the fourteen dams al
ready constructed. The perman-
ent pool will cover fifteen hun
dred acres and the reservoir
area will be ten thousand four
hundred acre. To cover all the
reservoir area, it would require
a flood 80 percent greater than
the record flood of 1913. This
means that a great part of the
area can be cultivated with the
likelihood that it will never be
flooded.

OMNIBUS APPROPRIATIONS

Always in the past Congress
has considered ten separate ap-
preparation bills providing money
for all activities of the federal
government. For the first time
all appropriations have been in
cluded in one bill. The total
funds recommended for 1851 are
twenty-seven billion, two hun
dred and sixty-six million, eight
hundred and thirty-two million
dollars less than was appropri-
ated for 1850. The recommended
twenty-seven billion dollars in
cludes about thirteen billion dol
lars for the defense establish
ment, six billion dollars for the
veterans administration and over
two billion dollars for the fed
eral security agency. 1t does not
include interest on the national
debt which is over five billion
dollars annually.

This seems to me a fundamen-
tally wrong approach. Our system
of economic freedom is based on
the maintenance of free and open
competition. Prices are supposed
to be determined by such compe-
tition and l believe that any gen.
eral system of price regulation
would destroy the entire incentive
and progress of American indus
try.
AS I see it, the only justifca-
ton for government price-fixing
comes when you have deter
mined that you cannot maintain
a competitive system. This is
true in the case of public utili-
ties which are natural mOn0pO-
lies. Of course, if competition
doesn't work and some monOpo-
list. has the power to fix the
price, then the public properly
demands that the government
do that fixing itself; but the re-
suit is generally much less pro-
gressive than is a competitive
operation.
THE real subject which the
l. Committee should have inves-
Itigated is whether competition ex.
lists in the steel industry. In my
lopinion the evidence clearly shows
that there is no collision between
the companies and that competi.
Ition is reasonably active. / dc
think there is a doubtful question
namely, whether the position Of
the United States Steel Corpora
Ition is so predominant that it ha:
power to fix prices and at leas'
modify the usual effect of compe'
|tition. There was no conclusive
evidence on this subject. If tina
Icondition does exist, however, VIZ
should consider whether we
should place a limit on the pro
tportion Of any industry which car

She haint never been married, but she can tell you how to raise

DAM

The appropriations committee
of the house has recommended
one million dollars for the Dillon
dam project in the next fiscal
year. Two hundred and seventy
nine thousand dollars of this
amount will be required to COM
| plete the Nashport dixie. Six hun
| dred and twelve thousand dol
liars will be required to complete
| the railroad grading, leaving one
hundred and nine Thousand doh
lars for additional work.
Last January the bid for one
phase of the Nashport dike' was
seventy-four thousand dollars be
low estimates. That seventy-four
thousand dollars will be avail
| able for construction on the dam
together with other money saved
by a very low bid on the rail-
road relocation work. The total
construction for next year should
equal or exceed the progress
made this year. In view of all
the circumstances, we are very
fortunate to get the committee to
recommend the one million dol
lars. Many projects already I'M
der construction we're given no
funds at all. -
Last year the flood control ap-
preparation did not pass until
Oct. 18th, leaving only about
eight months of the fiscal year
in which TO spend the appropria-
ton. Normally the money should
have been available on July lst.
This was one of the reasons the
committee made reductions be-
low the budget bureau recon-
mendations. In fact, on the 30th
of November there was an unex-
pended balance appropriated for
the Dillon Dam of four hundred
and four thousand, eight hundred
dollars. There is still two humid
dred and thirty-five thousand
dollars unobligated from last
years appropriation. This will be
obligated by June 30th when the
new funds should be available
the coming fiscal year. Further
more, the committee gave prior
ity to projects that could be fully
completed in 1850 and also pro-
jects that would bring in a re-
turn were given preference. For
instance, over one-half of the
total appropriation for flood con-
troll in 1850 is given to eleven
projects, ten of which will de-
velop great quantities of power
and theoretically, at least, bring
a return to the government. The
other one of the eleven projects
is a great irrigation project in
Nebraska. Total funds recon-
mended by the committee for the.
flood control in all the United
States is three hundred and forty
one million dollars and one hun
dred and lightweight million
dollars of this is allocated to the
reservoirs that are potential pro-
ducers of power. The amount re-
commended by the committee is
more than one hundred and thir-
ty-seven million dollar below the
amounts appropriated in l949.
The one million dollars recon-
mended by the committee would
make a total for the Dillon Dam
of two million, two hundred and
twenty : seven thousand dollars
for 1949 and 1850. This years ap-
preparation, plus un responded
balances, should result in more
work being undertaken than will
be accomplished under last years
appropriation.

Truman. There is every evidence
that he is under the conscientious
impression that the American
people desire his social program.
And it is perfectly logical that
he should harbor such a notion
for in his book he has an indel-
IDLE notation to the effect that a
plurality of the voters gave their
votes to him-and thereby en-
dorsed the very things he stood
for. With the 1948 election a
matter of historicar~fecord
doubtless he'd consider himself
nothing short of a nasty little
double-crosser if he didn't bend
every effort to carry out his pre-
election promises.
Being an old haberdasher,
Harry is businessman enough to|
| appreciate that the first rule Of
business is to please his Gus
toners. If it's pink neckties they
want from him, it's pink neckties
they shall have-and if he does
MT have them in stock, he'll or
der them, of course!
This doesn't for a. moment inn
ply hat the proprietor himself
has a personal liking for pink
neckties-or that anyone could
hire him to wear one, even
around the store. But SO long as
his customers are at him for
pink neckties, instead of ties of
a more conservative hue, he
must display plenty of pinks in
his window, if he expects to sur
Vive.
Officially, in 1948, the voice of
the people spoke-and elected
haberdasher Harry S. Truman
to the presidency of the United
States. But there was also a
voice that didn't speak; the
voice of that high percentage of
the electorate that, for one rea-
son or another, didn't vote. Pos
sibly that was the actual voice
of the people-a voice which
might have changed the course
of events-but such a chorus
just doesn't figure in election
returns.
The tragedy certainly doesn't
lie in the fact that Harry Tru-
man was elected; it lies in the
fact that an administration in
Washington must operate with
SO little accurate knowledge of
the true will of the American
people. And such a tragedy sim
ply must not happen again-es-
pecially in such crucial times as
lie in this country's immediate
future.
The American voter must con-
scientiously exercise his fran
chise-first of all, by voting on
each and every election day
but, even more important, by
studying all issues and the pos
sibilities of all candidates well
in advance of the day of deci-
sion.
We must examine the back
ground of each candidate for
public office with utmost care;
we must find out what he stood
for ten years ago, five years ago,
last year-and what he stands
for today. If his ideas run
counter to our own best con-
science, it is fatal to give him
our vote just because We like.
the sound of his name or the
twinkle in his eye. Our vote
must be based on what he as a
man and as a potential office
holder stands for-or against.
