The election has passed into history, the jollification* have been held and It's time to get down to business | again The past year has been the beet ever known la Decatur in a business way, that fact being due to the I loyal bunch of boosters who have 1 made good in several ways. Their work has just begun There is much 1 to do if we would continue the reign : of prosperity. There is a chance to 1 laud a milk condensory here that ' would help a great many people aid; give employ ent to from one to three hundred people. Owners of a . belt factory, a bedspring manufa>i tory and several others are looking us over. A little effort will secure one or two good concerns each year. , That's enough Let’s not go too fast, but step along carefully. If we! advance each year during the next decade in comparison with the past year we will be going some. If w<> start off next spring with the assur-1 ances that we will move forward, t hundred new houses will spring up. Then will we grow, then will we be *. *~ —— — -1. • /r 1 \ /i i rm L A ipl j ' w i I • V I Copy right, 1912, •übarU Firm & Ma. Rochester. N.

really improving. Get ready to do something, for we believe you will be called upon within a short time. Let’s be big enough now to keep up the splendid movement which has such a good start. ——~«sw~w—vsw The commission form of government for cities of Indiana will probably be a possibility after the next session of the legislature. It's a big question, one that deserves your best thought If it is an improvement, we want It, it not. we don’t. It seems likely that the campaign now being made will result in the coming legislature passing a bill providing that cities which so desire can, by presenting a petition signed by twenty J per cent of its voters, change its form of government into a non-parti-san commission jovernment. It is argued that this is especially des'.r- --' able in cities which own their own ' electric or water plants. We do not I know or < la’m to know the nir’lta or i demerits of the new idea, though we do know it has worked wonderfully I well in a number bf cities such M .Galveston, DesMoinea and others, but we believe the question is of enough importance to deserve the attention lot our people.
