CHAPTER XLV
FINANCE-WEALTH OF ALLEN COUNTY
There have been radical changes in the economic as well as the social life of Allen County in its first 100 years of history. While emphasis is still placed on agriculture and livestock, the county has a multiplicity of manufacturing and commercial interests.
While it has been said: "The greatest blessing a young man can enjoy is poverty," and some people die in full possession of that "blessing," not all accept the truthfulness of the statement ; a smart para- grapher has remarked that this country has reached the stage where men can use the word only in front of ten million dollars, and in Allen County there are those who require six figures in "setting down" the amount of their riches, saying nothing about the sequestered fortunes as yet unknown to the tax ferrets. On the other hand, some who are in purse-proud families sometimes disappear into oblivion, and are never heard of again.
The first human inquiry transmitted by electric agency: "What hath God wrought?" may be answered in a measure from a perusal of the pages of the life history of the pioneers in any community; in their poverty they planned for the future, while the average citizen of today says: "If life and money hold out," in forecasting it. However, no human equation is more uncertain ; it is death and taxes always staring humanity in the face, and as yet no wizard of finance has devised any means of escape from them. While the Allen County settler borrowed money in his effort to overcome wilderness conditions, because of his sagacity and foresight, succeeding generations have loaned it; and yet when readjustment followed in the wake of the War of the Nations, people who were used to inflated market conditions borrowed money for taxes rather than accept the inevitable decline in the price of commodities.
Allen County farmers held their grain while wholesale dealers or jobbers continued calling on local buyers without results; the farmers were waiting for the return of war-time prices, and a newspaper para- graph with a Columbus headline, December 1, 1920, says: "Farmers are again becoming borrowers at their country banks for the first time in five years; the season of ready money with the farmers is at an end, and pinching of coins will again become common if present conditions continue; at this time they are borrowing money to pay taxes. * 2 * * But borrowing money to pay taxes is the most common form of credit asked at this time. * *
* And farm barns and granaries are burst- ing with things ready to be sold if a market for them could be found," the latter statement slightly in error since farmers are holding their commodities for more money.
"The rural element is getting restless in its condition, asserting that the prices of things to be purchased are as high as ever, but that the things which hard toil and devotion to duty have produced have no value; only poultry, butter and eggs are the exception to this rule. The situation is the cause of more complaint because the farmers have not been used to backseat treatment; for the past quadrennial period they have been liberal buyers of automobiles, talking machines, lighting plants and water systems, together with all the little luxuries that their city cousins have enjoyed as necessities; in their vexation the farmers have

become students and investigators, ascertaining facts that in former years when times were better, they cared little or nothing for; they have sought an explanation in importations of wool and wheat from Argentina and Canada, but the explanations they have received have not carried complete satisfaction," and thus agriculture, the world's oldest occupa- tion, was first to feel the pressure under the reconstruction process.
"The World war has taught us to save. everything but money," said a domestic economist; while it is the easiest thing in the world to figure out how other people can save money ; when everybody was poor their very necessities bound them together, and thus the world hears about old-fashioned neighborliness and hospitality; the almighty dollar has always been the incentive, but minus the element of competition the pioneers were not forced to struggle for a livelihood as has been the portion of some of their posterity; however, the new name for hard times is the period of readjustment, and the present generation in Allen County history is learning the meaning of it; the men and the women who did not participate in developing the country have their duties of citizenship in preserving it; the Allen County of today is a legacy from the civilization of its first 100 years in world history.
