He will place his cards on the table and will have the support of the people, we do not doubt. The present congress has certainly established a record and one that we hoped will never be excelled. In session three months they have done nothing . Worse than that, they have tried) to do any thing except thwart every thing the president intimated he wanted them to do.

'' struct. Better make mistakes than I not try. This is no time for “chicken t feed" as Representative Mann calls it. The Fort Wayne News in rather a 1 i weak manner is attempting to answer r the attacks against the tax law brought about by blanket increases of valuation. Wouldn't you like to read what they would have to say ' if this burdensome, confiscating law I had been passed by a democratic legi islature or under the direction of a , democratic governor? If they wouldn't ' make the fur fly it would be because there are no words in the dictionary to fit. They know- that the law is one which gives entirely too much control to three men in Indianapolis, that no difference what the rate is, the principle is wrong. No one is objecting to the increased cost of maintaining the business, but the average citizen, regardless of politics does reject with all his might the arbitrary increase of valuations beyond all reason and beyond the “true cash i value.”

The support of the people of this community for the Athletic hall is asked. A year ago the project started when Mr. Worthman rented the old opera house for basket ball games. As the interest grew, slight improvements were made and early in this year the Decatur Athletic association was formed. They put in shower baths, added to the east side, built seats, and put in a furnace. Later an option was -secured on the building, a hard wood floor put in, the building waij roofed and painted. Now it is proposed that the purchase be consumated, the building stuccoed and a better heating plant installed, completing a gymnasium that will provide more amusement for the people here than any in-

I vestment ever made. There is no deJ sire to make any money, no idea in mind, except to help the boys and girls to a clean place of amusement. The school board has an excellent instructor, Mr. Groves, who will have charge, and now the association is asking your earnest support. They want twenty or more men to assist in financing the loan and they want the people to support the project by buying season tickets and patronizing the games and other amusements at the gym. It’s the most important step ever made in Decatur for the young people. Won't you help make it a real success? +++++++l- + + + + + + + + + FROM HERE AND + + THERE IN INDIANA + ++++++++++++++++ Members of the Oxford pig chib in Benton county are making a great showing .
