LOOK HIM OVER, BUT DONT OVERLOOK HIM

It is easy to over look a fully Qualified man wliose name appears on the list of candidates running for Congress. But in this article the writer asks that you look over the numerous qualifications and ability of Mr. Clauds C. Ball. He is the kind of man who can do things for the 8th District. He has demonstrated by his dealings as an Attorney here in Muncie, that he will not allow business to accumulate. Those matters that are for him to take up and decide, he does so only after the deepest consideration and with the needs of the people at heart. We need a man for Representative in Congress for

the Eighth District who will take action upon the up-to-the-minute problems of oiy' State and Nation. A man of the type of Mr. Claude C. Ball naturally become extremely valuable to the 8th District, since his years of experience as an Attorney make him familiar with the various duties. Mr. Ball has been found to be a very brainy man in public life, a man of great sagacity, a profound student of public and state affairs. He has the broadest intellectual interests of the 8th District at heart. Mr. Ball stands for more liberal pensions for World War veterans, and he is a strong believer in morel

He Looms Up As a Strong Candidate for Clerk

Nowadays people are giving more thought to the candidates they choose for public office and we feel sure that in the selection of a candidate for .County Clerk in Arthur J. Beckner that the public has riot only found a young man who . will not only care for the duties to this official office, but will always be found oil the job. The: people of this county at e indeed fortunate in having such a progressive man as Mr. Beckner to seek this office.

^ itar .arouhd the corner,

Old age pensions and the curbing of the activities of loan sharks are two of the important planks in the platform of Clarence Higi, one of the nominees of the Democratic party for State Representa-

tive.

In his speeches Higi has advocated these two measures as benefits to the working men arid women, especially Old age pensions have occupied the attention of political leaders for several years/as a means of correcting the present poor house system with disadvantages to persons who find it necessary to depend upon the aid of the county in their last days. It is pointed out that old age pension plan would enable the aged men or women to live their declining years in the home atmosphere without the public stigma that usually follows the entrance to an institution of the

poor.

Cost of maintenance of these

poor institutions are said, to be borrower ■ to go to the industrial tairly comparable to amount that {loan companies tor this service.

would be paid in each county for poor house upkeep and expenses of maintenance. With this situation in mind the problem of the old age pension has been gaining favor among the people! High interest charges of the socalled industrial loans of $300 or less which is set by law at 3y 2 percent lower per month is viewed by Higi as excessive tq the people who are fored to avail themselves of these loans. Legal rate .of interest on other loans is but S percent a year, and it is the opinion of the nominee for state representative that the' industrial lenders would not be permitted to exact this high interest charge from the working men and

women
