Australia, has the largest savings bank in the world, its the Savings Bank of New South Wales with deposits of over 5700,000,000. a Since it takes the legislature a month to get started why not reduce < the session thirty days and make it ( snappy while they are at it? , Ben Franklin was a thrifty codger and has been talked about now lor some two centuries but perhaps It was because he had to be so careful that he was. Benjamin was an editor you know and had to be frugal or quit. Things haven't changed so much. The court has allowed Lita Grey Chaplin $4,000 a month for supptjyt of herself and children, $4,000 for the , attorneys and the U. S. government has filed six liens In federal court to collect $1,073,000 from the screen comedian. No wonder Charley is I nervous. , This, the anniversary of the birtl ( of Benjamin Franklin, is celebrated each year as Franklin week, when ( thrift, saving and more thrift is urged i Its really one of the important move ments of this country in this age ol jazz when we are all trying to outdo j each other in speed of various kinds, i Thrift week and we call your at- a ztenijoj to which are being extended you by the three f banks of this city, splendid institutions, well managed and for your 1 benefit, that you may safely save, that you may practice thrift and thus pro- 1 vide the very best insurance for your old ag“ and tor the rainy days. c They are calling Thurman Gott- « schalk of this county “Governor" and as the Adams county man assumes the leadership in the senate, as is . sure to occur, this idea will grow. ( Mr. Gottschalk is one of the most I capable and popular men of the state * and there is more than a possibility J that the boys may be calling him j "Gov" in earnest one of these days. ] ~~ ■' ——— i The second week of the simultan- 1 eous church services should excel ill interest the first week and indications from reports of last nights crowds and interest is that this will happen. Life is uncertain, death is sure, are your lamps trimmed? Are you ready? Thats the thought the services leave with you and its an important thought whether you think so or not. The government coined 249,000,000 pennies and 52,000,000 nickels last year, exceeding in number of these coins produced any year in the history of this country excepting one and rather refuting the idea that we no longer use pennies and nickles as w ( . did a few years ago. Seems as though there is still something these coins will buy—if you have enough of them. The legislature is “all het up” over the salary question ami both houses passed the bill for a ten-dollar a day .econipcnse over the governor’s veto. Wc doubt its validity since the constitution provides that salaries of the

( legislature cannot be raised for the ' term in progress, but we hope the I matter is soon satisfactorily adjusted so they can give some attention to other matters of more or less importance. .... The death of John F. Lachot, Fort Wayne salesman, while calling on the trade here yesterday, has brought sorrow to the hearts of many Adams county folks where he lived so many years and was active in business and politics. Mr. IJichot served four year- as county treasurer and no man ever filled the position with more desire to serve his constituency or with more sincere honesty. He had a splendid personality and much ability and counted his friends by the score. We sincerely believe that about the most popular measure that could be passed by the legislature and a right and just one, would be one to place the automobile taxes where they belong,—in the county where they originate and to make it the duty of the county treasurer to collect them. This money used as road maintenance would solve one of the great problems of the rural counties —how to keep their roads up without a continual increase of taxes. 0 - ++ +++++-t- + + + + + * + * ♦ BIG FEATURES * ♦ OF RADIO ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦* Wednesday's 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 1926 By United Press Central Standard Time WJS —New York and Hookup (3 stations) 8 pm.

Democrats Map Out Their ! Program For Legislation Plan To Introduce Resolutions Calling For Legislative Probe of Highway Commission And Marion Count) t Grand Jury; Support Os 26 Republicans Promised ■ In House; Salary Boost Measure Passes Over Governor’s Veto; Thurman Gottschalk Sponsoring J Movement To Combine Registration And Primary Day.

By Walter A. Hhead (Wiitten for the Democrat) Indianapolis. Ind.. J n. 18 —liesolutions calling tor a legislative investigation of the state highway commission. the state board ot accounts, the public service commission, the Mario:, county grand jury which brought in‘dictnients against membors of t-he highway coinmission and the Marion county grand jury which recently adjourned after eleven weeks of investigation, were scheduled to be introduced in the lower House of the Seventyfifth general assembly Tuesday. Demeocr;s»ic metftbers of Ihe house and senate caucused at the Claypool hotef Monday night and agreed on a unit caucus rule. According to the latest information, the resolution will be Introduced by Repuresentative Edward P. Better, of Boone county, and George. L. Saunders, Adams and Wells county. Many Republicans Back Move It was first understood that four separate resolutions would be info luced on different days, but the latest information available from Democratic leaders is that the demands for an investigation of alleged political corruption and graft in state politics will be incorporated in one doublebarrelled resolution. The Democrats ire staking their entire effort oti this one broadside and, according to a more or less accurate poll of the lower house approximately twenty-six Republican members will join the Democrats in seeing the measures through. This will give a lee-way of approximately sixty-three members of the 190 in the lower house, enough to put the mea sute accross, despite the words from Republican leaders to block any su'd investigation. Speaker Harry Leslie of the House of Representatives is said to be friendly to the legislative probe. Leslie said today that he had not decided on what course he would take, but that two courses wete opcu to him. One was to refer the resolution t > a committee and the other was to call for a direct vote on the measure. It is believed likely that the -latter course may be taken, thus bringing the debate immediately on the floor of tlie house. Should this be the proceeding, the evidence recently takn before the Marion county grand jury will lie called to the legislature and probably lead on the floor of the house. One Friendly Investigation fn- an investigation of the state'high way commission is a friendly one ami is for the purpose of clearing members, one of whoc Earl Stawford, former Democratic member has been under indictment for more than two years, but has never been brought to trial. The members of the highway commission are anxious for the investigation to clear their skirts of charges of misconduct • The legislative quiz, whether or not it goes through either house or senate, the Democrats hope, may give them a chance to air on the floor of the house the evidence that has been collected through witnesses before the grand jury mentioned by William H. Hemy, Marion county prosecutor. The public service commission will come in for its share of investigation through charges that certain utility interests pdid $19,000 to the campaign fund of Governor Ed Jackson, with the understanding that appointments favorable to the utilities would be made on the commission. Subsequent events bear out the tact that appointments have been more than favorable to the commission and, through acts of the commission, a bill is not in the senate calling for abolishment of the com mission. A public hearing on this measure, sponsored by Senator Cann, of Frankfort, is scheduled for next Wednesday afternoon. Cann asserted he has sufficient volts in the senate to pass the upper house.

Party Lines Disregarded With party lines disregarded, the . assembly passed the $W per deim nal- , ary measure over the veto of the Gov- ! ernor Monday afternoon In a masterly , address, Senator William I’. Evans, ol - Marion county riddled the argument*. . cf Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom. who held the bill unconstitutional. Os the sixteen who voted against > passage of the measure over the Governor's veto, four were Demo rats. Included in the, four was Representative George L. Saunders, of Bluffton. < Eight voted against passage over i the veto in the senate including ton: i Democrats. Senator Gottschalk, o" r I Berne, voted for the measure. The I measure jiow becomes a law. Lewis

Bowman, author of state, said Monday j that he would pay no warrants, how--1 I ever, until he had mui a Conference : i with the attorney general Tuesday, i- Despite declarations ot both maje or party platforms tor repeal of modiifcation of the primary law. it in the ~ opinion of sage observers that the B seventy-fifth general assembly will u not change the law. There is, however, a definite move- |. nieut under way, sponsored primarily by Senator Thurman Gottschalk, ol . Berne, to combine registration and . primary day, using the same Machinery for both. According to Senator > Gottschalk, the primary election much , inety could be used for registration and a vote in the primary constitute a ; registration for the general election. I Those persons who did not wish to J cast a ballot at the primary, could, however, avail themselves of the opportunity of registering. This change - in the law, and it is receiving very favorable consideration in both the house and senate, would save the state bun- . deeds ol thousand of dollars now spent . on registration days. I It is believed that a measure will ; be introduced in the senate providing for this combination of primary and registration. , o — “Blossom Time” Returns To Fort Wayne This Week Theatre goers and music lovers of Decatur are again to have the pleasure of seeing that lovely operetta. "Blossom Time." which will return to Fort Wayne at 'he Shrine Auditorium Saturday matinee and night, January 22. This musical play is under the direction of the Messrs. Lee and J. J. Shubert, and is now in its sixth year. They positively announce, though, that this will be tlie final and farewell tour of this, tlie greatest of all musical plays of the past century.
