Political Matters and Otherwise
By JESS S. HARRIS
In this area the month of
March came in with no wind
but with a very light snowfall.
How it will go out remains to be
seen the lion may appear at
that time.
The season of the year is rap
idly approaching when the little
fellows will be out on the streets
of Caldwell engaging in childish
playing. Hence, Mr. Motorist., it
will be strictly up to you to
be
Hie seven and a half months
old telephone strike at Ports
mouth and in that area has been
settled and service resumed. The
:trike was ended by a majority
rote of members of the uhion
in other parts of the state affect
ed thereby.
Those Caldwell motorists who,
seeming, exercise only the sligh
test care in turning their cars
at street intersections should
take a few lessons in driving on
the streets of nearby cities. How
ever, only one lesson might suf
fice—due to the eagle eye of
some (policeman and the court's
iction.
Ohio's eighteen-year-olds will
not have the privilege of voting,
at least not this year. The sen
ate elections committee has vot
ed down a bill introduced in that
bndy for the purpose of reduc
ing the voting age in this state
from 21 to 18 years. Whether
this was a "left wing" or a
right wing" act is left with you
to decide.
Many farmers in the northern
part of Ohio and in some of the
eastern states are pouring their
cow's milk on the ground in
tead of delivering the product
to retailers. They claim the re
tailers are selling the milk at
fourteen cents per quart more
than they receive for it. Be that
as it may, the milk goes to waste
or to the ravages of flies. In
some sections violence has
resulted.
The movement to increase
postaige to five cents on first
class mail, and other classes in
like proportion, is still on foot.
To do so would mean further
increase in postal expenditures,
including each and every post
office in the United States and
still greater postal deficit.
Better let the present rates alone
and as they are, unless reduced,
and this should be borne in mind
by each Ohio senator and con
gressman.
Only a very few persons now
esiding in Noble county know,
or remember, that a Caldwell
voung man, Homer James,
son of the late Mr. and
I lilton James, of Caldwell,
.i. down with a policeman's
face Colgosz, the assassain of
President William McKinley
whom he fatally wounded with
I
fir
a pistol shot during the world
fair at Buffalo, N. Y., in 1901.
Beforp and long afterwards
Homer was a guard in the Ohio
penitentiary at Columbus.
The organization of the United
States senate may yet fall into
the hands of the Republicans.
On April'2nd a special election
will be held in the state of Texas
to fill a vacancy in the senate
with 2 Republicans and 20
and possibly more, Democrats
seeking the toga. Evidently the
Democratic candidates will
"split" that party's vote and in
all probability the Republican
will be elected. If so, the senate
membership would be tied—
48 to 48—with Vice President
Nixon casting the deciding vote,
which would result in the Re
publicans perfecting the re-or
ganization of the body. President
Eisenhower twice carried Texas
in as m*ny elections.
The Indiana legislature has en
acted a law that outlaws union
labor in that state, being the first
state of the nation to do so. The
governor refused to sign or veto
the measure, thereby permitting
it to become a law on Tuesday
of this week. On last Saturday
5,000 unionists marched on the
governor's offic.e but without
success.
A proposition is now on foot
to adopt daylight saving time in
this section of Ohio. The mayors
of the county seat, towns of the
six counties thereof have been
called to meet in Zanesville on
Thursday of this week to discuss
the matter and take possible
action. The time of the period
would be from April 28th to
September 28th. Some years ago
such a change in time was foist
ed upon the entire state of Ohio
and resulted in great confusion
in all sections. Wouldn't it be
best to let well enough alone?
Armed holdups are becoming
quite numerous in Southeastern
Ohio at present, three taking
place in as many days. The first
was last Saturday evening in a
supermarket near New Lexing
ton, the second was a filling sta
tion in Cambridge early Sunday
morning and the third was in
a drug store at Beverly early on
Monday forenoon of this week.
The loot was in the supermarket
over $11,000 (the burglars short
ly afterward captured and the
money recovered), the second
was $172.50 and the third was
reported as being from $75.00 to
$100,00. On, Monday forenoon of
thi§ week a iuuik at Sharon,
Pa., was held lip and robbed of
$10,000.
RETURNED HOME
Mrs. Isaac Atkinson was re
moved from the Marietta Me
morial hospital to her home near
Macksburg, Wednesday. The
trip was made in the McVay
ambulance.

Need To Curtail
Wasteful Spending
The Ohio Repubiiran delega
tion in the United States Hou.se
of Representatives, after careful
study and evaluation, has unani
mously agreed that a substantial
reduction of the 72 billion dollar
Budget will be in the best in
terests of the people of the
United States.
It was further agreed that
every prqposed reduction in the
Budget, which does not curtail
essential services or endanger
the security of our country, will
be supported.
The action of the Ohio Repu
blican delegation is the first of
its kind with respect to the pre
sent Budget and is in accord with
the admonition of President
Eisenhower, and Ohio's own
Secretary of the Treasury,
George M. Humphrey, that Con
gress exercise its independent
control over government spend
ing.
Congressman John E. Hender
son of Cambridge, representing
Ohio's' 15th District, was one of
those in attendance at the meet
ing of the delegation on Feb.
25 and signed the statement of
policy.
"It is clearly the duty of Con
gress to make every attempt to
curtail wasteful practices in
Government and to insist upon
a program of fiscal sanity", Hen
derson stated. "Economy is a
favorite subject in Washington",
he continued, "and the responsi
bility of reducing expenditures
is now squarely up to the Con
gress. I believe the people of this
Nation are demanding the reduc
tion of the current proposed
budget and they know that it
will take more than pious talk
to get the job done. Specifically,
it will demand the votes of the
people's spokesmen in the House
and Senate.
THE AMERICAN WAY

never going to regulate itself
until the States force it to do
so. That is the sole aim of our
organization—to gain constitu
tional reform by action of the
State legislatures."
From time to tin\e, I'll have
more to say about this organ
ization and report its progress.
To anyone "champing at the
bit" to have fuller details right
now, I suggest you write

shown. A total of 2,068 different
models of shoes were being
bought for women in the serv
ices. This number has now been
reduced to 1,034 models, a still
unbelievable number, which has
nevertheless affected saving in
buying, storaging and issuing
costs. Men's footwear numbered
5,811 different models now
reduced to 2,466. Machine screws
numbered 19,500 varieties. This
has been cut to 6,600. Tents have
been reduced from 380 types to
101. There is obviously a great
urgency for further reductions.
Standardization has moved at
a snail's pace with progress-i'e
sistant officials delaying it often
for well-meaning reasons. How
ever, this is just one more ex
ample of how fewer defense
dollars can buy just as much de
fense for the Nation one more
reason why defense spending is
not a "sacred cow".
