Entered at the postcibce at Decatnr. Indiana, as second clans matter WHAT ABOUT THE TAXES?— N. w that it has been everlastingly determined that the present tax law in Indiana is the great achievement with which it was acclaimed prior to lit j election, the vast majority of Indiana voters who gave it their approval have time in which to wonder how the new administration will amend it. For, regardless of its perfection and indorsement, it must be amended at the coming session of the legislature. The taxpayers of Indiana will in- 1 sist on some revision in this law. no i matter how completely they have expressed their satisfaction with it | The question is wholly to what ex- ■ tent the friends of the measure will 1 permit it to be amended. Marion county's interest in the i new tax law is enormous, it in- ; creases every year. For 1920 Marion county's taxes amounted to about 1 $10,000,000. Next year the sum will be approximately $16,000,000. Hence, the county has at least a $6,000,000 interest in the law. and in this day of high costs, six million dollars is a sum not easily overlooked.

< Probably the greatest problem of tite incoming administration will lie i that of taxation. No one knows today just what the administration Is going to do about ■ it. Indiana Daily Times. In the rush of events we are prone to just take for granted things that happen. Hiavp you considered the wonderful progress made in furnishiiig you the news of the hour? A hundred years ago. it required three weeks to deliver election news to the principal cities of this countries and in the outside territories It was months before the results were known. Tile returns from last week's election were heralded to every hamlet and into the country districts within an hour after the election was over tind within twenty-four hour: the big job of furnishing the news was practically complete. There is no longer any reason for people not being informed. The telephone, telegraph. wireless and modern news paper makes it possible for every person to secure the news quickly. In the Advertising World, a very inspirational trade paper, we find among much other enlightening mate ter, this little paragraph which ; strikes us as worth repeating: 1 “Advertising is not an expense. Only the man who looks upon advertising as an expense and is afraid of 'it — prejudiced against it — loses money in advertising. The man who i treats advertising as an investment and gives it the attention an investment requires—knows that every dollar rightly invested in advertising iyields compound interest, and more,. ' Those who wish to do something for Decatur should get back of th.* effort to make the gym a decent place for the boys and girls and to pay off the debt so that whatever funds are secured more than enough

;[• —, — — - Neglect Keeps Doctors Busy eminent physician once anld* j •'Were It uot for people who neglect the curly symptoms of dlr case, many doctors would have to find a now way to make a living." Every winter doctors nro busy CiJltug on grippe and pneumonia patients because the first symptoms of colds were neglected. Watch out for a cold this year. At the first sneezennd sniffle take U*btnlns l.uatlve Quinine Tablet*. You'll stop the cold and feel like a now person lu 24 hours. Never gripe or sicken. Drugi to maintain it can be used in im- ' pruviementsv We talk considerable about what we want to do for the i j boys and girls but if we want to ' really show that we are for them, let's provide the place for them to use for indoor sports and without burdening them. Whatever legislation, good or bad. comes during the next two years, must be charged to the republicans, who have absolute and complete l control of every branch of legislation in the state and nation. The responsibility is theirs and along with ’ill good citizens, we sincerely hope for a perfect and pleasing administrai tion. m . i Governor-elect Warren T. McCray has announced that a number of changes will be macle soon, including the appointment of at least two new members of the state tax board. Amos Butler and Demarchus Brown who have conducted the state board : of charities for many years are to be removed and an entire new program made effective. I The selling market is rapidly changing into a buyer's market and the time is near when old fashioned I competition will again exist. For a year or two past it has been a case of where you could get goods and quality or price counted for little. Now it is goinfe to be different it J seems. A letter from the president of a life insurance company indicates that he blames President Wilson for the influenza epidemic which caused his company a large loss and these is about as much reasoning in that as in many of the other imaginary charges against the president. Several large factories closed down Saturday. They will probably reopen within a short time but at a reduced wage scale. It is perhaps the start of the "back to normalcy” program which will be watched with great interest by those who have . the good of the country at heart. Those who shudder at foreign liaiic.es. seem to think.it perfectly al- j l ight for the. president-elect to con- • lev with the president of Mexic ?.
