Europe Should Revive Human Ideals England’s suggestion of an air limitation treaty has met with a favorable response from Germany, and it is to be hoped the two countries will pursue this objective earnestly. Unquestionably the civilized nations of the world must reach a sane agreement on the use of air forces in warfare if they are not to descend into a BARBARISM worse than anything known in antiquity. Of course, as the British declare, such an effort would be worthless without co-operation of other nations. Certainly the several civil or undeclared wars now in progress or of the recent past have given all civilized nations sufficient warning of the menace of unrestrained"aeridl warfare. It should be a short sten from tlm oronosed Anodo-Ger-man conversations to a realistic CONGRESS OF ALL NATIONS, aimed at restraint upon all the barbarities of modern warfare. As Mr. William Randolph Hearst said in a signed editorial in the Hearst newspapers manv months ago: , “In order to formulate and agree upon and enforce rules of civilized warfare, there should be a CONGRESS OF NATIONS in which these rules/ are discussed and finally voted noon and accented as reo-idations and restrictions applying rigorously to ALL NATIONS.!” * * * Air bombardment of civilians in open towns in Spain, China and Ethiopia are horrible and barbarous. And the slaughter of civilians and non-combatants by Communist firing squads is just as heinous as destruction by bombs. Certainly it is barbaric and inhuman to make war on women and children, priests and nufis, the aged and infirm, whether the weaoon is the air bomb of an attacker, the firing squad of fanaticism ar religious and racial tyranny of an oppressor. Eurone needs a return to human ideals, a revival of the BROTHERHOOD WHICH TRUE RELIGION AND TRUE CIVILIZATION REQUIRE. European governments ought to lead their peoples in this direction if civilization, religion an^ all the ^finer developments of centuries of human progress are to be saved from destruction.—Herald-Examiner.

Speed Wastes Money and Lives

Pictured above are some of the thousands of deaths which are a part of the annual price the American motorist pays for speed. Another item is accident costs which total $1,700,000,000 yearly.

What is Ray E. Willis’ plan to solve the unemployment problem? We believe the Republican candidate for Senator should tell the voters. The Republicans are trying to make farmers believe the Roosevelt administration is encouraging importation of agricultural products and hurting the American market. How do they exnlain that farm cash income in Indiana rose from $134,448,000 in 1932 to $291,787,000 in 1937, an increase of 117 per cent? Senator Frederick VanNuys has served six years in the U. S. Senate. Ray E. Willis, the G.O.P. candidate for Senator and country weekly editor, served a two-year term in the state legislature 19 years ago—his only experience in government. It is very obvious which man is best qualified to represent Indiana at Washington. There’s be fun for everybodv at the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association meeting at French Lick Aug. 26 and 27. Don’t miss it! Just what one of the New Deal measures would the Re* publicans reneal? Starting with the banking act, which insured bank deposits, we’d like to have them go down the line and tell us. , How independent a thinker do you believe the columnist was who was paid $1,000 a month bv the National Association of Manufacturers? He was anti-Roosevelt. Is it any wonder? Senator Minton will be commended for his courage when all the truth appears about influences now using “freedom of the press” as a cloak for their vicious nropaganda. The Senator struck at the source of the evil, the metropolitan press,, What! Archie Bobbitt’s name wasn’t in the paper today? Archie’s publicity man is slipping. Maybe he ran out of things to blame on the Democrats.

TOTAL CITY (Continued From Page One.) expenditures. The increase in Delaware township for next year would amount to 34 cents and five mills over the present rate providing the proposed levies are fixetT, Salem township will have a six cent boost, Washington township, a five cent increase,/ Liberty township, four cents, Perry and Niles townships with a two cent increase each. The total Center township tax levy for those taxpayer^ residing outside the city limits of Muncie will be $2.27 1-2 on each $100 of assessed valuation as compared with the present $1.71 rate if the new proposed levies are unchanged by taxing authorities. From the proposed $2.27 1-2 cent rate for Center township, 81 1-2 cents will be included in the City of Muncie total levy whereas at present the city taxpayers pay 25 cents of the township total rate. The present township tax for Muncie taxpayers include a 19 cent poor relief levy plus 6 cents for payment on poor judgment bonds issued several years ago. For the next year, the total of 81 1-2 cents included in the total city rate for township purposes is 67 1-2 cents for poor relief, 6 cents for poor judgment bonds, 7 cents for payments on the $100,000 bond issue made early in 1938, and a one cent township levy which was not fixed last year. The total of $4.06 1-2 cents which is proposed at present for the next year city of Muncie tax levy includes the civil city rate of

$1.25, the school city, $1.21, the state, 15 cents the countw and welfare funds, 58 cents, the 81 1-2 cents for Center township, and the six cent Muncie library tax levy. The state, county, and library tax levies in Muncie are proposed to remain the same as at present, the civil city has reduced 28 cents and the schools have provided for a two cent decrease, but the township rate for Muncie has been increased 56 1-2 cents which would net a 26 1-2 cent boost in the present total levy after deducting the proposed 30 cent reductions offered together by the civil and school

cities.

Although a ten cent poor relief levy has been added to the rate in Harrison township, the total reduction will amount to five cents on each $100 of taxable property for next year. Monroe township will have a 13 cent decrease although 11 cents has been added to the total rate for poor relief and Hamilton township will show a one cent reduction wtih three cents being added for poor relief expenditures. The totdl increase in taxes for 1939 by the taxpayers of Eaton would amount to $1.31 on each $100 of assessed valuation while Selma would net a total reduction of sixteen cents. Possible reductions to be made by the county tax adjustment board which will meet next month to review all levies within the county are the elimination of a $57,403 working balance for the county welfare funds which is not necessary and which would provide for an 8 cent reduction, a further cut in both the civil and

school city total rates, and perhaps the slashing of poor relief costs to the townships with the result of trimming down the city of Muncie total levy to at least not exceeding the present $3.80 rate. If poor relief estimates were reduced and the levies also decreased the costs if necessary could be met with the receipts from bond issues rather than the raising of funds altogether by a tax levy to be defective next year. — o —

(Continued From Page One.) throughout the country had failed during the depression and likewise many depositors lost life savings which brought disaster and a lack of confidence to them in our hanking institution^ The bank deposit insurance law followed the re-opening of the banks throughout the nation which gave assurance to all depositors that their savings would be protected up to $5,000 against future bank failures. The efforts and program instituted by the New Deal in an attempt to save the American farmer from complete ruin should also be included in the Senator’s talk. The enactment of legislation such as the Soil Conservation program, crop insurance, and the Farm Credit administration which has nearly doubled the total farm income during the past five years is evidence of the interest by federal officers in the welfare of the farmer. The advantages and help for labor through the savings of small homes by the Home Owners Corporation, the employment of workers and the needs for building materials being purchased through projects aided with PWA grants and WPA allotments, and the recent authorization of the Wages and Hours bill, all are steps forward by the national administration in assistance to the laboring classes of citizens in this country. Child labor has been stamped out of industry while wages for workmen and the number of hours to toil on jobs have been regulated so that all people might have a better chance to enjoy a higher standard of living. Also, the Senator would mention the Social Security Act which is an experiment towards the assurance of a decent living for the aged, the blind, needy children, and the unemployed. The need for leaders of this country to assist in destroying fear of the future so that private capital migiht relieve the necessity of public spending in order to restore economic recovery is a problem facing the federal government. The stimul|us of trade with foreign countries through the framing of foreign trade policies as well as encouraging peace among all nations of the world are other attributes to a prosperous America brought about by the President and our present Congress. Senator Van Nuys has always developed his opinions after careful thought and listening to his fellowmen or constituents and it may be assured that he will admit some mistakes have been both in state and national government but that he shall always he willing and believe himself and party big enough to correct the mistakes and continue good government for all. Both of Indiana’s members of

the Upper House in Congress, Van Nuys and Minton have worked diligently and successfuly to gain every recognition for their state and the people of Indiana. They may both be credited for securing federal approval to many improvement projects to Muncie, Delaware county, and the entire state. Governor Townsend, Senator Minton and Congresswoman Virginia Jenckes will also add to the speaking program along with Vaoi Nuys at the banquet on Saturday night. A record attendance are making their way to French Lick this week-end to attend the twodays session of the editorial association and to further the cause for a sweeping Democratic victory in November. A full program has

been scheduled and it is learned that a large delegation of Democrats from Muncie and Delaware county have gone to the annual outing. o NOTICE TO COTRACTORS The Muncie Public Library Board will receive bids on the decoration of the Maring Branch Library, 12th and Madison Sts., at their regular meeting Sept. 6th at 7:30 p. m. in the Librarian’s office in the Main Building.

SieiSS OF THE TiiSES (Continued from Page One) ernment really wanted to do something for the farmer, it could have have given him the power lines to enable him to buy his own electricity,” adds Springer. It’s the same old Springer—trying to make bigger and better promises. Don’t we recall that in 1936 Springer was criticising the government for

spending money. Now he says the government should have built electric lines and given them to the farmer. In other words, spent more money. Farmers know that the Roosevelt administration provided

the way for them to get the comforts of electricity. They know, too, what Finly Gray has done to help them get this service.

Extra! Get ready, boys, for a bit of needling. There’s going to be a “National Crochet Contest.” The “Crochet Bureau” of New York Ciity makes the announcement. We believe there are ulterior motives behind such a contest. Since it will coincide with the November elections, maybe the G. O. P. will nominate the winner for President. Crochet is a better solution for the unemployment problem than anything the Republicans have yet offered.

FALL FRiPPlES Chinese embroideries, made by girls and women in the civilian refugee camps of China, where victims of the Japanese invasion are concentrated, are being used for trimming many of the new fall frocks for dressy wear. Funds derived from the embroideries are used for relief of Chinese civilian refugees.
