SK PT. 28, 1933 GOVERNMENT I ROM THE I'OP Due tn people looking upward, to someone way up yonder, instead of themselves, government. has developi ed ic s , h a aiirt’i that m many of its phases it canbe said that governliinet "for the people*’ and " by the - .people" has Been discarded. The spectacle of government from the top has been substituted. Last week, i citizens of this county wese subject to the benefits and also the abuses arid Injustices that come fiotr. a centralized government, or rule from the' top. •The county board ,of tax adjustment sal in judgment upon the budgets of the . municipalities of the county. The budget making: officers of the mur.il ipalities submitted estimatesdo the tax board for revision, with the result that taxes were lowered, t'ovris, townships, libraries, >i lioi.l-. a u < ii .ol teachers have been reduced-to <me common standard, and that local government, which means the right of self-deter-mination, the right to levy taxes, 1 ii« !! pushed further back into .the discard of theories of 'governmdnt. The personel of the tax board was high. The 1.....i0 was composed of bustuess men, retired,rich men, doctor*. miyais,.-members of the board of educidimi,' trustees and farmers. They tried to act in a fair and con-sideiate-manner toward the budget- ’ . .n akmr otfii mis who in reality have degenerjated through no fault of their <>wn into clerks for the tax ' board. . . The'- i - makers' drew- up estimates. <jf how much money would be required tor their inuniciplaities, " with-the exception of having the . auma reduced I hey then ted •these figures to the real'budget makers the county board -of tax adjustment. . ■ vMet e this ■ ni are not re- ; pieseiitiutives of the municipalities bei->g heard. They were"appointed by t he-, judge except one member app. ir.ieif by the county council. Yet people pie-i-t in saying that this is government by the .people. No matter how niuch good judgment tjh'e -I/.itd possessed,, by. the . very f its purpose.and by the rmirne.' in which, -it was formed it could be nothing else than dogm.dn , reprei en • alive,- and. si it,.ie. this dec ’. Its chief purpiise- w;as to reduce J.vis..mallet who was hurt, no matter whether pc pie wanted itn- •• 1 ■ '. at ter if people wanted■ -a high standard of schools. ' and mi matter what else people wanted, the board abided by its-purpose' _ - to 'reduce taxes. • ... The ntannet m which the board uiii-.lyr •■•per 'ed t > reduce taxes was to set a ei t.rm, standard of aalarieafm school teacher*, janitors, mar -hills and other public servants, to llpw a certain amount to be used ’or the pur< hiaae of books for libraries.’ s<»‘ milch for school expenses, so much for this, and »omuch I >r that . Everything possible was reduced to ■ a ' ■ u ‘ denominator and exten- • ating circumstances were someni g which could m>t l»e tolerated by the board . It w i ked <at in thi% fashion. If •ie people of Turkey Township ‘‘t of the town "f Syracuse ■ or iy other municipality desired to *y their, teachers, janiltors, nitrl aLs salaries higher than the maxium set by the board the _ board \ ould not allow it. The board said this would set a : credent. Thewishes of' the people v ere not consulted. Then again, if the salary of the ■ i r&rian had been established, say Pierceton, every other library In L e epunty., Warsaw always; except- . . must be inade to conform to the i ierceton standard. Just as if it matcred to the people in Syracuse what . erceton paid ite librarian or xhool teachers, except for comparalive purposejs, - Wltat might be good enough for » erceton ntjght not be good enough 1 r Syracuse, and vic* versa. If a trustee decides _ that due to » ility, , length of service and mount and kind of work performed a teacher in a school was deserving ■ i more money than another teacher, hose business is it to determine the a Dry the. trustee who is personally quainted with the teacher, or a tax i -«ard who only knows a teacher as ae who must receive a certain r mount of money? If the people of Syracuse desire to ’ uy books for the library, who has the right to decide how many books shall be bought, the people or the ion-representative board? Os government “for the people” there * ,s more than sufficient, and government “by the people*” is almost

lacking. ‘ ‘ • — • — The people could have reduced the = taxes under the old machinery of government if they had cared to ex- - ercise their rights instead of letting ” someone else do it. I Under the new, cumbersome machinery for levying taxes, the right of self-determination has been taken 0 away from the people. All that is 0 left to them is the right of negation. 5 They can appear before the board ** and say “Honorable Board, our tax- ; es are too high," and that is all. , .MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS • With falling leaves and autumn rain, the live ’bait fishermen are 0 coming to the front. Big bass are ( biting—-anyhow, a bass weighing six .; pounds is a monster, and the bait f fishermen are getting them. e . A year ago, how many thought that the mighty American dollar i would be of so little value by Sept. 1933 that the league of Nations »’ would rule against it being used as > a medium of exchange in carrying ?! out the League’s work? But maybe i' the burring of the dollar by the League will be of only passing interest . in the strange and weird things that - 1 are yet to come. | 1 Who’ said that Governor McNutt I • and Ear] Peters, Democratic state chairman shook hands at the con- • vention at Lake Wawasee? If thev did it must have been a money • changer’s hand-clasp for right now. Toth are leaving it up to the Democratic state committee as to who should get the proceeds from the ’ Hoosier Democratic chib. That club is the Hone which obtains its money from .every Democrat holding a salaried , position. He must donate so) much to , this club. / ' ■ ' . . J “Where is Helen Kyle, she will i know" was the continual query of the county board of tax adjustment w hen I it met last week. One of the spectators was heard to say this assistant county auditor certainly runs the court house. The library book “Life liegms Forty" gloats that at 40 a man Or ‘ woman w’ill have time to enjoy his or her hobby and suggests its too bad for the person who hasn’t one. Now comes the news from Butler University that a “loafing course" teaching people a hobby is oh the curriculum. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind A serious attempt “glorify" loafing will be m*de this fall by Butler university of Indianapolis. In the belief that the National Kecvefy Act, with its sulisequent limitation of working hours, will ere-' ate an immediate need for converting idle hours into profitable recreation, officials of the school have announced plans for a series of courses to be known as “proper use of leisure time.” T 7 Th w ill be ayailable . to students in the night school and ex-, tension division. They will deal exclusively in pre- ■ paring working men and women to develop avocations or hobbies that will be both cultural and profitable Public speaking, music, reading and shrubs will lie among the subjects offered. I* REUNIONS 1 ♦_ J’ The Evan Miles family reunion was held last Sunday at the Sam Snavely cottage on Lake Wawasee. Forty relatives were present." Two members of the original family were there- Mrs. Jane Bachman and Mi*. Alice Felkner. The third living member, Douglas Miles of Milford, could not be present on account of illness. ♦, Evan Miles and family came to Northern Indiaha from Ohio in a covered wagon eighty three years ago, when Mrs. Bachman, now 90, was but seven years of age. She remembers some incidents of the trip, such as the muddy roads, and the stop over in Ft. Wayrte. Everett Miles, son of Douglas Miles, has been interested in tracing back the Miles ancestry. Recently he has visited the region north of Germantown, 0., and found the location of the old homestead and found also an old resident who remember* when they moved the old cabin birthplace of Evan Miles, “down here from up youder". Following the Revolutionary War great numbers of eastern people came out into Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, looking for homes in the Western wilderness Everett Miles, in his study, has learned that the Miles Ancestors came from Virginia with land warrant* given for service in the Revolution; The route of their migration was down the Ohio river to Kentucky, branches coming north into Ohio, and one family at least, consisting of four brother* and two sisters, on out into Indiana. o Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dell Gibson, who enjoyed an indoor picnic at their home on Kale Island, last Thursday evening were: Mr. and Mrs. James Lantx of Willard, 0., Mr. and Mrs. Earl Colter and Mr. Williams of Cary;, 0., Mr. and Mrs. Frank Klink, Mr. and Mr*.

Anyone who does not agree with views expressed here is welcome to write in reply so long as the writer’s identity 'is known to the editor.) ’Course its heavy stuff. Must all things be froth and foam, which is half wind and half filth? If them good old cronies ’ud watch the bottom more, top ’ud take care of itself. Surface only reflects the depth anyway. But I’ll comb it once more, to please ’em. I had just read The National Geographic Magazine. A medical man, w ith a ’group of scientist-explorers in Outer Mongolia, cured some nomadic Mongols; but they paid dues tor the cures to their own priestdoctor, saying that unless they pand him he would put. a curse on their sheep and ponies. One might expect this from central Asia. But The new primate archebishop of Spain, in The Chicago Tribune recently mentions that Russia- is without bread and without God, and says that Russia is without bread, o,'— “WHY I TRADE AT HOME" I 1 trade at Home and never roam, I Seeking “bargains” elsew here. ; I love the town of Syracuse, For my interests are there. And then, again, ftmn friends We all- need one another. i When I run short, 1 can approach . My dealer as a Brother. And then 1 know when buying here It helps things to relax And also helps the man who pays ! His portion of the tax. And here I buy, I can rely 'On What my dealer sells; jHe stands in back of all his goods, II can believe just what he tells. ■ i And when I’m sick or in ill luck, The man I buy from is here, wi h his pocketbook I ilf need be, and kindly words if I I cheer. ’ |

not from natural causes, but because it is without God. It is not his ox, so breadlessness is due to godlessness. Then he adds that his own priests in Spain are likewise without bread.- 5 His ox is now being gored, jso the situation is “unhurnaine and unjust,” from natural causes, Democratic Government. • My Britannica gives a formidable 1 list of famines in Christian Europe. In fact, during 200 years just after Constantine Christianized Rome and Italy those areas suffered disasterous dearths, famines and plagues. Whose ox is that? In A. D._ 1715, one-third of the peasants of France died from famine, 2,000,000 people (Taine). Famine and religion are ever-pres-ent twin-phenomina in Asia. Thousands die each day in ' China from famine right now. Whose ox these? Meanwhile, Britannica lists two of the “artificial,” or hijmari, causes of famine. Namely: Errors in economic production, etc., and war. These causes, as everybody in this generation surely knows, are uniformly supported by the churches, the Spanish church being no exception. 1 w ish we could our problems with, the scientific method, exclusively, instead of the theological methoy oltentiines. iSo when buying*! here with conlscience clear, jl put my mon'ey down and know it stays r,iL,ht here And works, for the welfare of the town. And that is why. 1 trade at home. I’m a booster Through ana through, For if Syracuse is good to live in, < It is to buy in, too. I —Anonymous. !
