Entered at the postoffico at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. This is the time to plant trees and several good citizens have suggested that some shrubs and trees about the monument on the court house lawn would help the looks of that beautiful piece of art. It will be well if automobile owners and drivers secure a copy of the new laws enacted along the line of driving and learn just what rights they have and what the pedestrian has. It may save you serious trouble. Swat the fly and keep on swatting. They are disease carriers and the time to beat them at their own game is early in the season. Each one put out of the way now means a million less after while and one good way to do it is to get rid of the dirt. At this season we should do this and don't forget to swat the fly. The agricultural committee named by the president of the Decatur In- i dustrial Association have an important work to do and jf they do it well they will perform the very best service for this community that can be done. They should get busy right away and help to arouse an interest and enthusiasm that will actually get somewhere. Show the farmers that we are trying to help them and you will have their genuine support. ————M— Decatur emerges from the winter, as all other towns and cities, some- ' what drab and dirty. Like most I cities in this latitude the first days t of spring find us unlovely in appear- I anee. Fortunately our decency lov- < ing people have a desire to clean up I and paint up which becomes an urge 1 and a passion. This work should i however not be a hit and miss affair f but an organized effort and it is hoped that some of the civic improve- : ment organizations get busy at once. : - - ■ ■ - 1 I This city needs some system whereby the garbage is taken care of and ; the effort now being made by the city council and members of the citi- ' zens committee deserve all the en- i couragement possible. The small cost is nothing when compared to < the fact that such effort may save us i from disease. There are many ideas : advanced but the main thing is to de- i clde upon one and put it over. The ; Portland plan looks good and is per- ji haps as workable as any. What we ] need now more than any thing else is ; definite action and we hope the coun-'; cil will speed it up. li

1’ A tariff law which will be built with the interests of the big manufacturer the headliner is certainly a >• bad investment for the country at r this time. It will make a few rich >• people richer but it will make times J. difficult for years to come. Every nation effected will fight back and scrap hard and you cun safely bet 9 that they will even it up one way or J the other. What we need is a better i foreign market and we will never get ' it with u one sided tariff law. > • * ' One of the proposed constitutional i amendments which you will vote on in September provides that after thirty days prior to a primary, no independent candidates can be placed on the ticket. It's a scheme to prevent the people rising in their wratli after the primary and cleaning up on the regulars, lu other words it ismore power for the standpat politician. And do you really think the j people will be foolish enough to surrender this right? Do you thiuk it right? Drivers of motor vehicles are again warned to use the utmost care. Watch the corners. Rumember that under a new law enacted by the recent legislature, the man on the right hast the preference when you come up to a corner, that you must observe speed regulations, throw out your arm when you are going to turn and do ofher things that will prevent accident. This law should be rigidly enforced by the officers, let it hit where it will, for that's “the way to make it effective. We notice cars come up to corners at a rate of speed too fast for a straight road and they don't let up a notch. They seem to think they own the road or the street and that it’s the business of the other fellow or the pedestrian to look out for himself. Some drivers who think this are going to get into serious trouble some of these days. One of the important events of the year will be the special election over Indiana. September 6th. to vote on a dozen proposed amendments to the Indiana constitution. The big fight will be of course on whether or not the people of that state wish to give the state tax board more power, and to provide for an income tax law. We don't believe the voters will approve these two amendments. Certainly past experience has not favored giving the state tax board as much power as they have now and we can't see*the arguments favoring greater power. An income tax law means more detail work, more tax and the expenditure of more money. They will argue that this will reduce your general tax and will place the burden where it belongs, on the man who earns money. You know if you stop to think that it will do nothing more than increase your tax. For a year or two an effort might be made to reduce the general tax but after that you would simply pay your income tax in addition to whatever else you pay. However not all the proposed amendments are bad. The one for permanent registration should pass as should that one providing for four year terms of office and one or two others. Every voter shguld study the

BUCK JONES IN “THE BIG PUNCH” Following his great success in “Just Pals,” in which he received universal I praise throughout the country. Buck Jones once more steps out erf his character as cowboy to enact a role of a more serious nature, in his lat-1 st William Fox production, entitled, "The Big Punch.” which will be at | the Crystal Theater tonight. “The Big Punch” is an original story by Jules G. Furthman, and is described as an intensely appealing tale of the western hills. The story revolves around a young man who is arrested for sheep rustling in which he had no part, is convicted and sent to prison for a term of five years. Following his release from prison .his efforts to “make good” furnish many thrilling incidents. In the leading role, it is said. Buck Jones displays greater emotional ability than be has ever shown heretofore on the screen. Jack Ford who directed “Just Pals.” directed also “The Big Punch.” Also the Fantomas serial. +♦♦+♦♦♦*++**♦♦♦* + POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS * ++++*++++++*++♦+ Please announce my name as fc candidate for the nomination for mayor on the democratic ticket, subject to the decision of the primary election to be held May 3, 1921. 63-ts CHAS.
