appreciate the power of strike
and be the first to recognize
the Importance of principles
involved.
Boosting the tariff against
competitive goods from abroad
is no long-term answer to our
problem, as some hysterical
people believe. Such a short
sighted procedure is like stop
ping a clock to save time. Fur
thermore, it is contrary to the
very preceptS of our American
free-enterprise system. Finally,
it can easily lead our allies
abroad to desert us in favor of
economic ties with the Soviet
Union-the very nation that is
out to ''get" us, not by military
or aerial assault, but by push
ing the trade war already laun-
ched against us.
The simple fact remains,
there is no sidestepping our
basic responsibility to produc-
tivity-the only source of any
nations economic greatness.
And only by exercising full
responsibility thereto can we
hope successfully to turn back
the tide of recession and win
for American goods the market
the Russians are already reach
ing for
The game isn't lost by a long
shot. We've got plenty of
American labor with the back
bone and CUTS the job calls for,
if only the union leaders will
shut up and leave them be.
We've got the chronological
skill and the managerial savvy.
We can bring back our sales
men and, through offering
them proper incentives, can
put them where they belong
in there making real sales and
thereby stepping up the pace
of production as no order taker
is capable of doing We've got
everything and everybody we
need, if only we'll get together.
The real cure for unemploy-
ment, recession and all that
presently bothers us in our
outlook on the future of our
economy is simply for all of us
to get off our fannies, stand
on our feet, take our hands out
of our pockets, use the brains
the good Lord endowed us with
and get BACK TO WORK.

l lin Every 81

For every 81 people residing in Noble
county, there is one person employed in some
capacity by a local government agency.
This is disclosed in a comprehensive sur
vey OF public employment in the United
States, conducted by the Department of
Commerce as part of it's 1857 census of gov
ernments
The number on the payroll of each local
governmental division-county, municipal
ity, township, school district and special dis
trict-is listed in the new report Federal
and state employees are excluded.
In Noble county, the ratio of one public
employee for every 81 people is higher than
was encountered in most parts of the nation,
where the average was one for every 49,
1t is also above the rate that prevails
in the State of Ohio one employee per 49
people.
The actual count locally showed $40 on
the payrolls of the various branches of gov
ernment, 272 of them on full-tme basis.
The remainder, part-timers, were translated
into their full-time equivalent to permit

A Hugh Success

The first time in many years, the Cald-

AS result of ideal weather, the parade
Saturday night was perhaps the largest ever
held in Caldwell for at least 20 years and
there is no question but what it was one of
the incest ever held here, regardless of time
There were at least % various fire de-
partments represented in the parade with
civil defense units and five different march
ing bands.
The floats, although lesser in number
than for previous years, were outstanding
with the top money going to the Pleasant
City Maidenettes under the supervision of

Where Is It Now?

Well do I remember that about
sixty years ago, in the Olive
cemetery, there was a mortar
lying on the ground about two
hundred feet directly east of the
present tool house. Of course,
this building was not there at the
time. This mortar is a relic of
the Civil War and l think it was
brought to Caldwell by Colonel
Teeters.
The last | remember of seeing
it was about forty years ago, at
which time it was about half
buried in the dirt. l also remem-
Der that when | knelt down and
looked inside, there was a wasp's
nest in it and | got beautifully
Stung on the chin and nose. It
was right then and there that l

ural thing to happen to a heavy

Loss of States Rights

Some persons noted that states
rights presented an obstacle to
uniformity. Forty eight legisla-
tive bodies could go forty eight
different ways. The socialist
element found and finds that the
state governments stand in the
way of a realization of Socialism
or any of its near relatives in
this country.
In recent years we have wit
messed weakening of state acti-
vities and the corresponding CEN
traliZatlon of power in Washing
ton. We have witnessed the Fed
eral Government exerting influ-
ence and debating activity in
many fields through Federal
grants in aid accompanied by
Federal regulation of the manner
in which its funds are to be ex-
pended by the states.
Many of us in Congress have
been highly critical of the ten
dency of Congress to assume
Federal jurisdiction and Federal
control of activities which had
formerly been assumed by state
and local governments. AS the
results show, majority in the
Congress from time to time have
worked to extend Federal auth
ority in one area after another
formerly reserved by the states.
In recent years, the Supreme
Court, too, has seen fit to aug
ment the tendency and has added
its judicial temper to the trend
through a number of its notable
decisions.

Serves Him Right!
Political Matters and Otherwise
BY JESS S. HARRIS

Michael Disable, the Democat-
ic nominee for governor of Ohio,
and this year giving the matter a
second trial at the job, accom-
panied by his caravan" Of a
motor car or two, arrived at Cald-
we'll early last Thursday fore
noon for an open air public ad-
dress. Due to no advance of the
delegation having been made,
Mike" was greeted by minor
bakers dozen of the faithful in
Caldwell, with none from the out
side. However, the Caldwell high
school band was early on hand to
enliven the occasion, composed Of
only few more spectators. More
attention was directed toward the
erection of the equipment for the
comi ing Firemen's festival
than to the distinguished guest,
and his address could be
heard only few feet away be-
cause of the noise coming from
the saw in use in removing sew
eral large shade trees a few
squares away. All told, the oc-
casion proved to be a dismal fail
ure and disappointment to ''his
honor" With greatly depressed
heart and much grief, no doubt,
the caravan at once moved on to
the next stop.

BACK TO WORK
By Maurice II. Franks

The consumer, by and large,
is never under any permanent
obligation to buy anything.
With him, once his basic wants
are satisfied, it is mainly a
matter of personal desire. He is
seldom concerned as to HOW
any cost worked its way into
a selling price.
What he wants is the most of
the best for the least whether
the chosen article comes from
Toledo or Tokyo, Walla- -Walla
or Hong Kong. He doesn't care
whether the workers who
made it were paid &c an hour
or 1922 an hour. What counts
with him is quality merchan-
disc with a low price tag.
The flood of imports-from
cars to cameras, from sewing
machines to shears, from type
writer's toothpicks - and the
way they're selling should be
proof enough of the custom
er's attitude when he goes to
the buyers market.
In nutshell, what's happen
ing is that American industry,
paced by American labor, is
well on the road to pricing it
self out of its own markets
on home grounds as well as
abroad--and the customer is
shedding no tears.
An economy such as ours, to
be stable, must always remain
a two-way street-allowing for
consumers as we'll as producers
and right now we're on a
one-way street that unless we
get back to sound economic
principles will surely lead US
to dead end.
If the labor leaders who are
dong so much hollerlng about
this recession were to sell a
bill Of goods to their members
that it's not how much they
receive in wages but how much
they can exchange those wages
for in goods, they wouldn't t
continually have to throw the

third prize money was divided between the
Summerfield All club and the Buffalo All
club.
Thousands of people came to Caldwell
for this big event and there is no question
but what it was the largest number of people
to assemble in the county seat for several
long years.
But they all had good time, they saw
good show and most important of all, they
left behind dollar or two for the Caldwell
fire department.
Weather-wise and money-wise, the fes-
tival was a success and that is all anyone
could ask
Members of the fire department ex-
pressed their appreciation today to all those
who assisted them in any way during the
past week.

comparison with other counties.
On per-capita basis residents of Noble
county paid less for the operation of their
local governments than did people in most
parts of the country. Whether they got more
or less for their money is not taken into ac-
count.
Their total payroll, during test month
last year, came to $67,5O0 This cost was
equal to $5,65 in the month for every in
habitant of the county.
Elsewhere across the nation, the cost of
meeting local government payrolls averaged
SIP per capita each month.
In the State of Ohio it amounted to $697
per capita
All over the country, the report shows,
the drive to cut local governmental spending
and taxes is running into obstacles. The
pressure is for more and more services. New
schools, roads, water supply and sewers, as
well as the many other needs of communities
have necessitated bigger payrolls, larger cap
ital outlays and even higher taxes No end
to the expansion is in sight.
