eral aid to schools, a little less
than fifty cents actually goes
back to the taxpayer in the
form of federal aid. 1t seems
unWise to pay a dollar in taxes
to get back about 49 cents of
my money in federal aid.
Why not keep the entire dollar
at home and spend it ALL on
the schools?
1t is q Well-established fact
that federal aid is followed by
federal influence and control.
That is already apparent in our
experience. The actual aid con-
templated in the Presidents
recommendations to Congress
is less than the States can do
for themselves, if they will do
it. The real purpose of federal
aid is finally to get control of
education into the hands of the
federal government.
Our real danger is centraliz-
ed control of schools. The last
rampant of freedom is in the
hearts and minds of our youth,
in their ideas and ideals. That
is why the Soviet government
in Russia takes the children
away from their parents to be
trained in government-control-
led schools. Thus the dicta-
tors are able at one stroke to
destroy faith in God and break

up the family as the basic
social unit. With family and
religion dissipated or destroy
ed, it becomes easy to estab-
lish and maintain dictatorship
and socialism.
President Eisenhower has
warned business and labor to
take measures against the ris-
ing spiral of wages and prices,
with consequent rising of in
flatlon and increasing danger
of severe depression. His warn
ing concludes with the assur-
ance that if business and labor
do not take care of the situa-
ton, government will!
There is the key to what will
happen no less surely with
education. The token-help Civ
en- by the federal government,
by way of federal aid to
schools, would relieve State
and local authorities of meas
ure of their responsibility, and
encourage them to seek more
help and give up more of their
responsibility. The federal gov
ernment, in keeping with its
inherent nature, would reach
for more power over that
which it aids financially. We

THE LAST RAMPANT
BY DIR. Alfred p. Haake

It is a mistake to follow any
man blindly. Those who ac-
cept the judgments of leaders
without question wind up
without judgments of their
own. And the leaders who are
followed without question
usually develop complexes of
infallibility. The King can do
no wrong" is climax to that
folly.
Franklin Roosevelt succumb-
ed to the illusion of infalli-
bility. Dwight Eisenhower is
being tempted, 1t is fairly easy
for Well-intentioned man
who loves his people and
wants his people to love him,
to stray into the bypaths Of
personal power OF to accept
unsound advice.
1t is unfair to the President
to follow him blindly in his
quest Of federal aid for schools.
AS this writer showed in a
recent article, the cost of fed
eral aid to schools is out of
proportion to the benefits sec
ured. 1t has been estimated
that out of the dollar which
the federal government must
collect in taxes at the local
level to cover the cost of fed

necessary to pay the heavy load.
And when you start putting new taxes
on property owners in Caldwell, look out
for it makes them furious every time.
There is no question but what this
defeated the sewage issue which came up
last fall They are sick and tired of new
taxes, particularly a large number of
widows, who have very limited income
and Of necessity must be economy minded
Gov. O'Neill has always been very
popular in Noble county but gigantic salary
increases for his state cabinet members is
certainly not the right manner to retain this
popularity.
O'Neill will serve two years as the chief
executive and in 1858 he will be running
for the first four-year term as governor. The
law now limits a governors tenure of office
to two four-year terms, beginning in 1858.
1t is possible then for O'Neill to serve
ten years as governor for the state of Ohio
but in our opinion, he must do little differ
emily, if he hopes to retain the confidence
of the voting public.
Noble county practically feels that
O'Neill is one of their own but, in spite of
this fact, his popularity in the county is now
at new low time ebb.
Perhaps by election time in 1858, the
picture will again have changed. Whether
or not it does depends, we believe, solely
on Governor O'Neill and his management
of state affairs
Only time may heal the breach here in
this county.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1957-02-28

With only two months completed as
governor for Ohio, c. William O,Neill is
already unpopular with the rank and file
of many Noble Countians, Judging from the
grumbling and complaints being heard.
It all started on the local level, when
O'Neill insisted that the legislature pass as
its first bill, terrific wage increase for his
new state highway director, Charles Noble
of New Jersey He succeeded S. O. Linzen,
who did magnificent job at $4,000 per
year.
But Gov. O'Neill insisted on salary
raise of $50 percent or $4,000 year, in
order that he would get highly qualified
man for the job. This is the highest price
ever paid to state official
The director of liquor control was raised
from $4,000 to $4,000 year; director of
commerce, Oliver Bolton, will receive
$4,000 instead of $4,000 and Mrs. Livingston
Ireland, director of public welfare, received
an increased salary from $4,000 to $4,000.
1t is difficult for residents of this county
to understand such big wage increases for
public officials, since 80 percent Of them
have limited incomes and considerable less
than the salaries mentioned above.
1t is also hard for them to understand
why they should, indirectly, be paying these
increases through taxation, whether it be
on a local or state level
Noble countians are also taking very
dim view Of O'NeilPs call for "strict
economy" in the state government and they
are convinced that additional taxes will be

We don't mean that they don't keep
abreast of the other news for they do but
it is secondary in most families here in
Noble county
But to get back to the point, 1t is i'm
possible for any publisher or editor to
promise that a certain news item will land
on page one or the right corner of page
three.
You have certain lead stories but from
there on in, the makeup is strictly a
mechanical one and the stories land where
they fit and not according to the wishes
of those who turned them in.
Wherever possible, we do try to please
but when we don't, the merchanics of make
up entered the picture and it was impossible
to comply.
In the final analysis, weekly publica-
ton is just like any other business. The
publishers will bend over backwards tc
please their customers but only insofar as
it is possible.
If the impossible is not probable the
publishers will have the final word and that
is the way it must remain.

We often wonder what our readers would
think if they received the current issue of
The Journal and all the news was on page

Judging from the number of requests

have just this happen.
We are justly proud of the publication
which comes into your home every Thursday
and the makeup on page eight is just as
important to us as that on page one and it
is just as necessary that we have the right
news to place on this page
We are curious as to why every request
comes in with this notation put this on
page one SO everybody will see it,.
A survey taken for this weekly, and it
applies to most of the others, reveals the
startling fact that the classified page is the
most widely read one in the paper and not
page one as most of the readers evidently
believe
It is to the classified page that most
