of the publication of the Revised

most accurate translation in the
history of the English Bible. IF

Madison Co. High
On Production List

City residents who buy steaks
and roasts, ham and chops for
their dinner tables often fail to
realize that much of their meat
comes directly from Buckeye
farms, says the Ohio Farmer
magazine
Only five states outrank Ohio
in number of hogs produced,
while cattle production within our
borders is exceeded in only II
states. In fact, meat animals
comprise 80 percent of the billion
dollar annual income of Ohio
farmers.
Center of this production is the
southwestern part of the state
where modern feeding and breed
ing practices are enabling far
mers to turn out over 60 percent
more food than they did two
generations ago.
I'VE can thank the agricultural
experiment station scientist for
this boost in farm food output, :"
The Ohio Farmer said. And the
agricultural extension service is
the primary educational force in
distributing this new information
gained at the experiment station"
In 1917, the Ohio station es-
tablished the Madison County
farm. Since then, research has
been devoted mainly to cattle re-
search and soil management. Ma
turally, to raise more cattle, far
mers have to grow and harvest
more crops. That's where soil
management entered the picture.
Improved fertility through use of
lining and manure has stepped
up corn yields as much as 81 per-
cent. Translated into meat, that
means more and cheaper food for
Ohio dinner tables.
Tests with silage materials
showed a total of 69S pounds of
beef resulting from 3 acres of
well-dented corn as silage. SGT
pounds from soft corn used also
as silage, and 452 pounds from
corn and cob meal. Summing it
up, says the magazine, the Madi-
son County experiment farm has
emphasized that the greatest re-
turn from an acre of corn came
through the silo.

The World Today

WASHINGTON LP)-The Korean
War has assumed the full trap
pings of a Greek tragedy.
1t is being argued with fury on
the American political stage as one
of the main issues in the presiden-
tial campaign.
From afar come the winged
messengers, IN the shape of new
bulletins, bearing daily tidings of
battles won and lost and of men
dying.
To this now will be added the
gloomy chorus of the diplomats de-
batting Korea in the halls of the
United Nations.
But in this play the authors, the
Communists, have refused, as if
enjoying the agony and the smell
of death, to write an ending.
The United States, backed bv
France and Britain, pushed for i'm
mediate debate in the u. N. on
Korea. So the debate begins.
Secretary of State Acheson is ex-
pected to lay down today the case
for the U. S. and its allies.
Andrei Vishinsky, Russias for
eign minister, is on hand to blast
the U. S. for the Communists.
Before it's over the u. S. and
other U. N. nations may condemn
the Communists who, operating on
the theory that sticks and stones
may break their bones but names
can't bother them, will hardly be
impressed.
So before the debate begins
judging from what's happened in
the past-it would be sheer optim-
ism to believe any end to the war
will come out of the speeches in
the U. N.

had been referred to the eXecu-
tive board by the federation's re-
cent convention in Cincinnati, after
members affiliated with railroad
brotherhoodS had contended the
conveyor would take business
away from the railroads.
Riverlake is seeking recognition
by the State Legislature as a COM
mon carrier SO that it will be
able to buy the land it needs for
a right-of-way between Lake Erie
and the Ohio River. Along this
route, it proposes to build at a
cost of more than S200,00O,000 a
system of belt conveyors for the
low-cost transportation of coal
and iron ore.
The Federation of Labor re-
endorsed the conveyor, Hannah
said, because we believe that this
vast project Will bring progress
and prosperity to every worker,
farmer and businessman in Ohio.
We urge Ohio's Legislators to de-
signate the belt conveyor as
common carrier - a status that
has been given hundreds of other
companies.
Three other major Ohio labor
organizations had previously en-
dorsed the conveyor. They are the
Ohio CIO Council, 450,000 men,
bers; Ohio State Building & Con-
struction Trades Council, AFL,

Rittenour Scores
Continued from Page One

N>OIllilliCu lIOlll dSG oIltJ
The Farm Bureau president
pointed out that under the new
proposals, light trucks (under
$4,000 pounds loaded) would pay
Is percent of the new taxes in
increased tag fees and gas taxes,
while the big heavy trucks would
get off with about Is percent.
Rittenour also blasted the Com
mittee for ignoring the recon-
mendations of the Simpson Fiscal
Report which was made for the
Ohio Program Commission two
years ago. This Study was made
by a research staff, headed by
Herbert d. Simpson, Professor
Emeritus of Finance, Northwest
ern University.
THE Simpson Report, Rit-
tenour said, has been accepted
widely for its scientific and OBJ
jective approach. This report in
dicated that passenger cars and
farm trucks were already paying
more than their share of the
cost of Ohio highways and that
medium-sized passenger cars in
Ohio were paying twice as much
IN gas taxes and license fees for
the same use of the roads as the
heavy combination trucks.
And by the same token, Rit-
tenour added, THE report showed
that Ohio's typical farm duty
sized trucks feven with its Ii
cense fee reduction) was paying
nearly three times as much as
the heavier trucks in proportion
to highway use"
According to the Farm Bureau
president, the committees new
proposals would hit farmers twice
as hard because they will have
10 pay unfair taxes on both pas
senger cars and trucks.
I'VE should not abandon our
good start on fair highway pro-
gram based on scientific engineer
ing and fiscal study for this
patched-up affair which has been
cooked up by the large CONNER
cial trucking interests to protect
their unfair advantage, Ritten-
our asserted.

Phil Hannah, secretary-treasur-

from az mills to eight mills in

THE London City Schools
therefore, is required to levy a
total of s mills for operating pur-
poses during the tax year 1853 if
! the school district hopes to be
! eligible to participate in what is
called Additional Aid by the
B state.
4 Under the foundation program
D which sets up per pupil cost
q 'or elementary and high schools,
4 he state makes flat distribu-
4 on to all districts. This initial
& stribution is supplemented by
locally inundated levy (5 3/8
nills), and if both the states
flat distribution and the local
levy are insufficient to meet the
foundation program, then the
state makes an additional distri-
button to make up the difference.
The London City School dist
rict is faced with this problem.
With the boost in property val
uations, the revenue derived from
existing school levy may be suf-
ficient to operate the school dist
ricts previous budget, without in
creasing the levy to the necessary
mills. BECAUSE WHEN TAX
DUPLICATES ARE INCREASED
THE VOTED TAX RATES WILL
BE REDUCED IN PROPOR-
TION TO THE INCREASE IN
THE TAX DUPLICATE. AS
result, the board of education
may find that the total school
tax rate for operating purposes
will be less than 8 mills. This
will necesSitate therefore, the
submission of an additional tax
levy to increase the total rate to
8 mills.
Special caution is necessary
that the levy being submitted will
be sufficient to offset a reduc-
tion which may occur as a result
of Increased tax duplicates due
to reappraisal.
"If a school district eligible
for Additional Aid" fails to levy
not less than 8 mills during the
tax year 1858 and thereafter, it
will lose all of the Additional
Aid" provided by the state. This
would mean loss of $4,000 to
the London City Schools.
Furthermore, if the auditor in
our county refuses to raise the
tax duplicate in Madison County
to the degree required by the
State Board of Tax Appeals, the
London City Schools will lose
fifty percent of the amount due
the school district under the pro-
visions Of the school foundation
program.
Therefore, the London Board
of Education is submitting a
three mill additional tax levy to
the voters on November 4th, for
their approval in order to protect
the $4,000 additional state aid
that IS needed in the present bud
get and, offset any reduction of
revenue in the present outside vot
ed school leyies.
