Entered at the postofflce in Decatur. Indiana, as second class matter. Indian summer that you have heard of all your life and seldom seen h here as per schedule. Another year of the Wilson administration and all the days will be bright and glorious. The democratic primary is on in earnest now. the time being up for paying assessments. Besides the contest for places on the county ticket there are a number of scraps in the townships that are attracting attention. According to. a. dispatch sent out from Indianapolis. Hon. J. A. M. Adair will be a candidate for congress next year and two years later for governor. Everybody in this district is for him and when he gets into that governorship fight, the boys will know it* and when the smoke has cleared away, and , he has landed, they will wonder how < he did it. Somehow or another that i fellow does things and we all love him for it. ■ The lute progressive candidate for ■ attorney general wants a public de 1 bqte with State Chairman Fred A Sims or some other republican, upot J the merits of their respective factions It would be amusing, and perhaps, it some respects informing. The peopl would like to know just what the re publicans and their late associates, the progressives, think of each other. When the democratic legislature o'. 1893 assembled it found the state can tying a debt of over $8,000,000. It im mediately set about to pay the deb off. For that purpose Is imposed a state debt sinking fund tax of 3 cents The proceeds of that tax were used u paying the debt until 1905. when the republican legislature of that year finding itself lace to face with a bankrupt treasury, turned the sinking fund tax into the general fund.

' withstanding this, in the fiscal year - 1908 they were compelled to anticipate 1 future revenues to meet current ex- : penses to the extent of nearly $1,800,I 000. And then they went out of office leaving a deficit for it was nothing else of over $3,000,000 for their democratic successors to struggle with. And the democratic administration has ' made good. The tax levy for current 1 expenses has been reduced 2 cents, , which means $370,000 a year. The . state debt sinking fund has been reduced from 3 to 1 1-2 cents. In four years this alone has saved to the tax payers $1,1001.000. In addition to all this, $500,000 has been paid upon the state's outstanding debts..
