THE LEGISLATURE: Whether the work of the legislature, which adjourned Friday night, Is good or not only actual experiment with it can show. It passed a remedial tax bill which certainly will be less effective than that passed by the house early in the session. Under this measure it will be necessary for the-state tax board to review its' order of last year, and certify its findings to the auditors of the several counties "wherein any township or other taxing unit was or will be effected by the horizontal raise of assessments contained in said order." 'I hen the county auditors and county boards. o.‘ review shall equalize the questioned assessments, and certify them back to the state board of tax co., misstoners. This is, apparently, a somewhat complicated process.and and that will take time. There are in the bill provisions insuring relief to over-taxed citizens, and making it possi re for taxing units to borrow money if they do not get from the taxes enough to meet their needs. It is curictis that the legislature should have been unwilling to validate horizontal increases and yet have validated prospective bond issues based on such increases. The bill may work and all will hope for the best, but there are doubts about it. Os course [ the senate combinations ..id its way. It was felt by the political leaders that the most important thing was to bring about an adjournment, and ! so, as the senate combination would ! not yield, it was necessary to sur-! render to it. Os the so-called home rule tax bill, much the same must be said. It may prove to be a wise piece of legislation. But we can see little protection against exorbitant tax levies and foolish bond issues in an appeal to the county councils. These may prove to be more heroic than they have ever shown themselves to be,

However, the bill provides- for home rule, ami that was the object sought, it looks very touch as though both these bills were designed to ward off campaign criticism rather thun to cure the evils in a scientific way.—lndianapolis News. The tragic death of J. Frank HanI ly, former governor of Indiana, the i prohibition candidate tor president of the United States four years ago. | prominent citizen and journalist of this state, will bring sorrow to thepeople of the nation generally and particularly to thousands in this I state. He was killed Sunday in an automobile accident at Denison. Ohio, when the car in which he was riding: with Mr. and Mrs. Baker was struck; by a Pennsylvania train. Mr. Hanly was admired for his wonderful ability as a speaker and writer and his services were always in great demand. For several years he has published a national temperance magazine and his editorials on various subjects, particularly politics were always read with interest and had an important bearing upon results. Governor Roberts of Tennessee, unlike Governor Goodrich, believes his state operates tinder a real constitution. He has called special elections to fill twelve legislative vacancies prior to summoning a special session. Goodrich, however, failed to heed the fact that five vacancies exist in the Indiana legislature, even though the constitution directs that they shall be filled before summoning the lawmakers together. Miss Adah Bush has resigned as chairman of the woman's republican state committee and it is hinted that her action was forced because of the fact that she went to the San Francisco convention and urged ratification of suffrage. If she can't be bossed she is not needed apparently and the men in controll of the republican national committee do not propose to have the women interfere. All roads will lead to Dayton the last of this week where Jimmy Cox will accept the nomination of the ! democratic party as their candidate for president. The big campaign will open next week and Governor Cox ; and his running mate, Franklin D. Roosevelt, will be kept busy for the next three months if they fill a small part of the demands for their presence. The idea of a separate peace w ith Germany will not appeal to the people of this country when they understand just what it means and how it

The Plays Were Greatly Enjoyed (Continued from page one) Her husband, who was not killed, but merely taken captive, escaped and returns to London. He comes to the home and finds them in want, Im’ is overjoyed to find a son. Then the| ; mother, who has heard of the return . of her son, comes back to the house .and premises them that she will take the wife of her son into the family. The weak-minded father is disposed of by sending him to a place and giving him a good allowance so he can have al Ithe liquor lie wants. The Mallory Players showed their skill in this play which, although it has its funny ]>arts. is a moral play, and the pathos of it is impressive. The players are artists every one and furnished all mini amusement and entertainment. Saturday Afternoon Mrs. Hanley gave the reading. “Polly of the Circus," which is the story of a little circus girl. She is injured in a performance and was taken care of by a minister who was censored for caring for her. She left the home of the preacher and return ed to the circus. The preacher then reclaimed her, which resulted in him losing his church, but he did it to keep her in his family. Another reading illustrated the foolish questions that children ask. which proved very amusing. The second part of the program was given by the Cliffton Mallory Player: who played the comedy, "Money." Th< story of the play concerns an old man who made a fortune out of th, civil war. He had planned to have his only daughter marry a rich mat. who was a slave trader, but there it a rival in the form of a distant rela tive, who is his clerk, but who if penniless. This young man pretend? that he is in love with a rich girl and secures instructions how to get het without her parents’ consent, whirl he knows it is impossible to secure All works fine and the daughter am her lover, the clerk, elope. Then the rich man. who was to have married her, refuses to marry her. even i Harry, the clerk, is prevented fron taking her for his wife. So the youn? man is successful, and not only get: the daughter, but a dowry of one mil lion dollars. The play abounds will snappy' sayings, and is one of the besi farces, and the acting, needless t< say, did credit to the drama. The Rotary club is planning on go ing to Rome City Thursday where the boys will be guests of Rotarian Jin Arnold at a chicken dinner at th Spring Beach hotel. About thirty o the local Rotarians are going. MORE GOOD THAN TRIP TO SPRINGS Had Rheumatism So Bad He Could Not Stand On His Feet Several Months

“Yes. sir. I can testify to Tanlae be ing good for stomach trouble and rheumatism," said William C. Huff 312 Garden street. Toledo. Ohio, a well known employe of the Willys-Overland Automobile company, "for the medi cine set me right more than two years ago and I am still feeling fine. "My trouble started about ten years ago with loss of appetite. Soon aftei this I commenced to suffer from indi gestion and sour stomach and it wasn' long until inflammatory rheumatisn - got into my feet and legs. Foi months I was unable to stand on my feet and was in intense pain most of the time. My feet and legs would swell up to twice their normal sizand if a red hot iron had been rut into my flesh 1 don't think it coulr have hurt worse. Now and then 1 felt a little better, but the trouble would soon come back worse than ever, ami something more titan two years afeo 1 got in such a bad fix that i was ad vised to try Hot Springs. “After taking the treatment there six months I seemed to be consider ably Improved, but a few months la ter the old trouble started up again and it was at this time that a friend , of mine suggested Tanlae. The first

two bottles brought about such goou results, giving me a fine appetite and making me feel so much better, that I bought more and just kefft taking it and improving. Well, after finishing my ninth bottle I felt perfectly sound and well and had the surprise of my life when I got on the scales and found I had actually picked up forty pounds in weight, and the best of it is I have held my wonderful increase in weight and strength and have felt fine to this day. 1 have the best rea sons in the world for praising Tanlac and I don’t hesitate tn recommend it for it sp< me right when everything else failed. lam enjoying better health than I have in fifteen years and can hold my own with the ‘ best of them. Tanlac built me up until J 1 neither look nor feel like the same ' man.” , : Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith t Yager & Falk's; in Berne at Stengel , I & Craig's and in Geneva at F.
