responsibility from City Clerk Linton Ridgeway for a deficit of public funds due to the defunct Lincoln Bank & Trust Co., closed nely five years ago by the state banking department. Clerk Ridgeway who collects fines assessed against law violators in city court, had such collections on deposit in his own name at the Lincoln bank prior to its closing eraly in 1930. Such deposit was placed without requirement of a depository bond and while nearly 75 per cent of the total has been repaid by the receivership through dividends, yet, the balance due has been charged against the .city clerk, cus-

todian, by the state board of accounts.

If this bill is passed, and there is no reason why it should not be enacted, since no public officer should be held liable for’losses incurred by bank failures unless coercion to defraud is evident, it will be the second time for “Lucky Linton” to save his own hide. The first time occurred two years ago when examination of his office revealed that record changing netted him a theft of approximately $1,400 which

marked that he was glad to have been of assistance to the taxpayers of Indiana since the occupying of any time from a legislature was doing a justice to the people. He sympathized with the governor for having to put up with the lawmakers for sixty-one days and offered the suggestion that by popular demand it might be possible to get rid of them sooner.

“Old Age Pensions” Many plans are being put forward by different members of our national legislators to give to the aged a pension that will sustain them in their declining years of life. Some of those plans are simply crazy, and others are so low that no person could exist on the amount proposed to give the aged. There are many persons in this nation now drawing a government pension who are not entitled to anywhere near the amount the government is paying them. There are others who did more to protect this nation than the above and are drawing no pension, or not nearly enough to compensate them for the good work they performed for the government. We claim that any person who has given the whole of his life for the benefit of society is as much entitled to a gov ernment pension as any man who ever went to war to protect the dollars of the privileged few. Now here is a plan that we think would only be just to those who have given the best years of their life for the benefit of society, but who are now past the age limit of employment. Give each man and woman that is past the age of employment in industry, $125 per month, they to spend $100 each month, and deposit the remaining $25 in the post office, without interest, and not to be drawn out only in case of sickness or death. When the amount on deposit reaches the amount allowed by the government for one person has reached $2,500, cut that person’s pension down to $100 per month and the money must be spent during the month for which it was issued. There is enough money wasted in this country each year j by public officials to cover the amount of the old age pensions, if some way could be found to eliminate this waste. But if this cannot be done, then put a profit tax and a salary and wage tax on every one who is employed according to the amount received each month.—W. J. D.

It is hoped that a third score is not registered and Clerk Ridgeway does not succeed in getting the legislature to authorize an appropriation from state funds with which to reimburse himself for the repaid embezzled money reported from his office during 1930 and 1931 by the state board of

accounts.

The Editor’s Corner

In the absence of ex-mayor Dale and his family, who holds the title of editor, owner, and publisher of the PostDemocrat, this column will attempt to give you the highlights of everything going on through the medium of a pinch-hitter, another ex-official by the name of Holloway. I have performed a double role for the ex-mayor-editor (now just plain editor) on so many different occasions that I sometimes wonder whether I did the right thing by accepting that antiquated custom of keeping the male’s name after matrimony or whether I should have adopted by wife’s former name Dale. Anyway, either is satisfactory so what about it. j A week ago last Sunday, Mr. Dale and family left Muncic for a much needed rest in Florida. Correspondence from them assures us that they have reached the warmer climate and are located at Lake Worth, Florida. In accordance with almost traditional fate, the Dale family encountered a bit of excitement on their trip down which was made by motor. The stage was set for the grand finale of ‘JMa” Barker and her son, Fred, notorious gangsters and kidnapers of Edward G. Bremer, St. Paul banker who was released a year ago after payment of $200,00 ransom, and the Dales witnessed a part of this shooting affray with federal agents in Oklawaha, Florida. It has not been learned as yet whether the ex-mayor of Muncie and “fighting editor” took part in the battle but members of his family ta home are checking on whether or not he took his gun along. A report also comes back to Muncie from the vacationists that if the price of oranges are increased do not feel that you are being cheated because only the Indiana River fruit of Florida escaped being frozen which
