WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1933 THE ELECTION Well, it's all over. Citizens of Massillon have called to the office ehief executive for the two years beginning January 1, next, Willani "Pat" Limbach, democratic candidate, leaving out in the cold Clarence W. Angerman, republican, Claude R. Kramer, independent and Joseph Long, socialist.

To Mr. Limbach go congratulations and best wishes. On the basis of unofficial returns all but two of seven candidates for re-election to the city council were defeated. Attacks upon the record of th'e present membership were violent and uninterrupted. The results Tuesday indicated a sharp change of sentiment since the primaries when councilmen seeking nomination for re-elec- tion won out with ease.

One Republican, Cornell, and Lash, the lone democrat in the present council survive. In a voice of thunder the citizens of Ohio struck state constitution the prohibition amendment while with equal positiveness they added Ohio to the line of states which now have finally repudiated natonal prohibition. Decisively the people of Ohio declared in favor of old age pensions, moved probably by realization of the fact that, if workmen are to be "scrapped" in middle life, society must take care of them. They left no uncertainty as to their attitude on the subject of tax reduction, approving jdecis- tvaly a proposed amendment to the constitution reducing the maximum levy on real estate from 15 to 10 mills or from $15 to $10 per $1,000 ap- praised value. This they did as a means of recovering some of the power of forcing retrenchment in the cost ot.government and of removing from real estate the unfair burden which from time immemorial it has carried.

On the basis of unofficial returns up to 9:30 a. m. today 'they took unto themselves the authority to reorganize county governments in fashon as to eliminate the ancient and obso- lete machinery which now has outlived its usefulness and performs no function except to consume the tax-payers' money. The vote of approval of the county home rule amendment Tuesday serves notice to the tax-spenders and job-holders that the people are in the saddle and that henceforth they will decide what jobs are to be available and how funds are to be spent. It is to be hoped that they allow themselves no rest until they have compelled the legislature to pass an act permitting them to reorganize their county governments in their own way, eliminating human deadwood, combining offices and reducing operating expense.

Too long have the people of Ohio endured the steady and avoidable sapping of their financial vitality. The outcome of the local mayoralty election which enjoyed a large share of local interest was not unexpected to close and trained observers. Early in the campaign it was obvious that the tide had turned strongly against Mr. Angennan. Although one of his chief claims to victory was that he had had long experience in public office, it probably was his record which defeated him.

In these days of unrest and protest the established order and its sponsors are having a hard time to hold their places. The tendency among voters is to clean the slate and start over with new ideas and new administrators. Any person who can be reelectcd these days has won on merit or through a marked ability to remain in the favor of the electors. In some precincts polling 250 voters 150 straight democratic tickets counted. 'The city may settle down now to await the induction of its new officials.

Freed from restrictions of constitutional amendments the states may set themselves to the task of draftng legislation which it is to be hoped may give them complete and effective control over the liquor traffic. A year's grace is allowed the state in which to reorganize government and draft tax legislation to make possible continued operation under 10-m ill limit amendment. If now county government can be reorganized at a saving of money some of the threatened loss in revenue can be absorbed. Attention of'the public should be drected toward retrenchment in every political subdivision. City council and school board must exert.every effort to cut costs while some means should be found of compelling the board oi health to respect the plight of people and the pttblic treasury and reduce its expenses in an amount commensurate with the shrinkage of income.

In the evolutionary process which has been T. MASSlbUJJM. (JtiUJ so pronounced in country during the past few months and which is destined to continue it is to be hoped that legislation enacted will prove beneficial to the public. In the matter of liquor control at least the. public now is command freed from the inflexible restrictions imposed by constitutional enactment.

The best method of handling the question now may be chosen without let or hindrance, if only the people will choose it. AMERICA AT THE CROSS ROADS A PRIVATE NRA? The plan submitted by Gerard one of the most enlightened of American big business men, has naturally attracted respectful attention from all open-minded people, and lively hopes from business men restive under the authority of NRA. Self-government for private enterprise is an ideal that springs eternal in the American breast, in spite of changing times and narrowing opportunities. It would be desirable, nearly all business and professional people agree, if business could manage its own affairs without external compulsion or restriction. Surely there are brains enough in what remains of the country's great private business empire to organize that empire according to the needs of today, suiting production to consumption, providing employment for the idle, creating a fair return for investment, paying a proper reward for management, conserving investments, dealing fairly within its own sphere, reconciling hostile interests, restraining predatory interests, playing fair with producers of raw materials and with consumers of finished goods, and co-operating with the forces of social progress.

So, at least, most business and professional people have thought. And so millions of Americans have hoped. But reading over again that long sentence, we may feel doubts rising. Doubts rise quickly in the minds of business men themselves, as they think over the possibilities of handling the nation's industry, trade and finance by a modern guild system, through chambers of commerce and industry, replacing NRA with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. And enthusiasm seems to be dying almost as quickly as it rose, as intelligent citizens realize the tremendous difficulties they would face difficulties of business rivalry, of human "nature, of clashing interests and classes, of decisive authority, of baffling new economic factors.

It is well for business men to ponder such plans. It is' a good thing to try working them out. If they can produce a successful plan, and place it in operation without pulling down the shaky temple of business upon their own heads, all typical Americans will approve. Meanwhile, thoughtful citizens, considering the depth and peril of-the economic abyss we have all looked into, and the barrenness of big business minds and weakness of big business wills ''during this depression, and the progress toward recovery that has started under NRA, if not on account of it, are likely to hesitate about swapping horses till we are nearer to the other bank and gain more faith in the other horse. The government, with all its faults, is a going concern and seems to be the only concern in sight that can deal in a with all factors of this vast problem, with hope of reconciling the interests of capital, management, labor, rural producer and urban consumer, and "saving them whole" together.

LOUD-SPEAKER PERILS Made in America for use in Russia is a powerful loud-speaker capable of, being heard for miles. It is'to be" used by the Moscow government to disseminate news, governmental orders, propaganda and other matter. When it was tested in this country before shipment it was made to compete with the roar created eleven army planes with motors and propellers whirling. Under the right wind and weather conditions, it is said the thing has an audible range of nearly 30 miles. Perhaps this is an important and useful (device, but it sounds like a dreadful addition to (the already too-numerous noise-makers of the world.

Imagine the if advertisers took to installing these powerful loud-speakers in planes and sending them out over the land! Imagine 'candidates making use of them in political campaigns! Such "improvements" may yet drive civilized human beings to live and work in souncl- proof buildings. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 8. tETTERS the EDITOR To the Editor of The Independent: Someone said if the -people voted out prohibition that they would shut down their factories. Hugo said, an invasion of armies can be conquered, but an invasion of ideas cannot, Let us interpret this saying in a way that we can understand.

What it mainly signifies is that the of the states which have voted out prohibition have no master and on their way to find out that they themselves are master. However, Barnum's saying still holds good. REPEALIST. Massillon, Nov. 8.

A Washington Daybook py HERBERT PLIIMMER Vermont, traditionally a rock- ribbed state of republicanism, is attracting more than a casual interest in-national politics because of an approaching senatorial election. On January 6, a successor to the late Porter H.

Dale for the senate is to be named. The republican candidate is Ernest W. Gibson, Vermont's only member of the house of representatives. Opposed to him as the democratic party's choice is Harry W. Witters of St.

Johnsbury, described as a "veteran National interest has been aroused not only because it will be the first senate contest of the 1034 congressional elections, but also because of what Vermonters describe since the presidential contest as "the democratic DEMOCRATS CUT G. O. P. LEAD Although Vermont remained in the republican column in 1932, there were 54,751 votes for Franklin Roosevelt, some 23,000 less than those given Herbert Hoover. In 1928, the state polled more votes for the republican presidential candidate than it did for the democratic.

It will be remembered that President Roosevelt included Vermont on his itinerary during the campaign. When the democrats met in convention recently to nominate their candidate for the senate, one native Vermonter made the following observation: "Both in numbers as in enthusiasm, yesterday's, mass meeting of democrats was something of a record-breaker. "Following sparsely attended meetings which in the past could have been 'held in a telephone' booth', according to the jokers, the assembled democracy filled every seat in its accustomed hall and a large number were obliged to stand," A law to punish stock gambling would be a funny thing.

The railroad exhibit with its many locomotives and trains, ancient and was one of the most popular and impressive at the Century of Progress exposition at Chicago. It is estimated that 10,000,000 persons viewed it. Locomotives and trains have changed in the past 100 years but human nature remains the same. From the day of the "Puffing Bily," to the "Royal Scot" popular interest" has continued. The trans-continental American tour of the "Royal Scot" which makes the run from London to Glasgow, miles without.a stop, at an average speed of 53.4 miles per hour and reaching at times a speed of 85 miles an hour, attracted'larger crowds than Greta Garbo herself could have The locomotive of the train is operated- in England without headlight, bell or cowcatcher.

There are no grade crossings on its daily itinerary. Why this universal and eternal interest in railroad engines and trains? Many view them, from an artistic standpoint, others from, a mechanical. Some join the long queues out of idle curiosity. But down deep in everybody there abides profound reverence for power, whether it be. spiritual, physical, mental or mechanical.

That at-least is the conclusion of Wall Street. Predictions are made that the groundwork will be laid in an agreement among Great Britain. France and the United States to stabilize gold. But, it is stated, the president has no thought of putting the dollar back on the gold standard at the present time. If commodity 'prices are to rise, the dollar will have to depreciate still more.
