Marion, O. The tax exemption is to be increased 8600 if present plans are carried out by those revising the income tax law. except for those who show a profit of 85,000 or over. That figure will in most people this year. This paper will be glad to print the opinion of citizens as to the proposed constitutional amendments. . There is much to be said on each , side and the question should be f openly discussed that the voters may , have all information. Send in your opinion. * ( . Judge Smith is right—“ Why leave placid waters and sail into the unknown seas in unsettled times? There is doubt about the results of some of the proposed tax amendments and much cloudy about all of them. These are not times when we can afford to take chances and the experiences this county has had with the state tax board will not encourage the voters to agree to a request for more power. The Berne Witness devotes a column to prove that President Harding has made good. He has certainly given us normalcy but the trouble is that the average laboring man, farmer and merchant is not particularly infatuated with the dose. The man who prefers the present times to those of a year ago is sure easy to please. There are a good many things promised that evidently haven't been started. No attention need be paid here to the registration law for the city election, according to the opinion of Attorney General Lesh which means that any person, man or woman, over the age of twenty-one years who has resided in the state six months, in the township sixty days and in the precinct thirty days prior to the election in November, is entitled to vote. In cities of the first and second classes, only those registered have the legal right to vote. It’s amusing to note how peeved people are these days when it's tough picking to get a dollar or two. Most of us are hunting something to complain about and find fault with and it goes with the times. A year ago everybody was so busy he did not have time to fuss about the other fellow. Now he has so much time that he just naturally gossips and criticizes. If we keep on doing the best we can, follow the Golden Rule, smile and work harder, we will all come through fine and dandy. Secretary Hughes will represent the United States government at the disarmament conference, a very wise selection. Judge Hughes is for world peace and will no doubt have much to do with influencing the members of the conference to agree. The appointment will satisfy every one but the opponents to a world agreement as to peace. The secretary has a big job however and will find it a difficult matter to meet every obstacle and please every member of the United States senate and congress, the people and press. The Hoosier State Automobile Association is opposing the levying of a federal tax on autos and will make a fight to defeat that part of the : program. They insist that automo-ij

biles are now taxed unti the owner feels he is paying more than his share and they are asking the support of all owners to assist them in defeating the new proposed tax. Protests should be sent to the association headquarters at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis. There is danger J that in changing the tax law greater burdens will be added to the aver-i age citizen. A concrete case of the unfairness and unjust method of taxation used by the state tax board in ordering a horizontal increase on automobiles was given us today by a well known citizen who owns a Ford car, purchased in 1919. The car was assessed this year at SSOO and the ten cent Increase now put on, brings the, total to 8550. A new car, the latest. model, can be purchased, all freight' paid, for 8513. The old car is per ' haps worth 8300 and the owner must pay taxes on nearly twice that; amount. Who will argue that a law', which permits and causes such un-' just taxation Is fair? And now they want greater power. It’s almost a' joke, but a really serious one. We do not wish to be misunderstood in our position as to the merits or demerits of the proposed amend ments to the constitution of Indiana on which you will vote September 6th. We believe that a number of them have merit but others are vicious, particularly those referring to the taxing problem and giving unlimited power to the legislature. Many of the good points can now be given by the legislature if desired and we feel that to be safe the entire bunch should be We don’t like the idea of holding special elections on the amendments because a full vote is next to impossible and we don’t like the “foxy work." of those who wrote the proposed amendments, taking every advantage. We would like to have the opinion of those who favor them as well as those who are against them. It Js an important election and every person entitled to a vote should study the question for themselves. — • FINLAND’S FOREIGN TRADE Helsingfors.—During the first three months of this year Finland's imports amounted in value to 1,432.000,000 marks and her exports to 1,438,000.000 marks.

COSSACKS REBEL 1 Against Bolshevism in Rus- I sia and Expect to Restore Kerensky—Have Office IN CONSTANTINOPLE Intense Suffering Among Remnants of Wrangel’s Army—Red Cross Aids (By Edwin Hullinger, United Prest staff correspondent) Paris—(By Mail)—The Cossacks ol Southern Russia re-combining against the Bolsheviks, according to a i report by M. Kharlamoff. member of the Russian Revolutionary Constituent in Paris. Cossack leaders of the Don. Kouhan and Terek regions, the most powerful of the horseman tribes, recently form ed what they call the "United Council,” and have set up a central executive administration or government. The Council has an active office in ’ Constantinople, publishes a newspaper for the benefit of Russian refugees there, and has aligned itself alongside the Revolutionary Constituent. This latter is significant in view of I the fact that the Cossacks foiAuerly ■uipported Denikine and Wrangel and ’ >ther so-called reactionary leaders for whom the Constituent had little sym:>athy. It indicates a tendency, which las recently been reported from other luarters, among Russian anti-Bolshe- ' vik elements to swing back toward Kerensky and the leadership of the Social Revolutionary party which engineered the revolution of March. 1 1917. , Kharlamoff also reported intense i sufferingg among the remnants ol (Vrangel’s army, a large proportion of whom are living in Constantinople midst greatest misery. The American Red Cross has prevented thousands from starving, doling out supplies and clothing. It has also “staked" a number of the more intelligent refugees to the extent of four or five lires. With this "capital" many of the latter have started a tiny business of some kind md are ekeing out a small living. ELIMINATE BAD CROSSING Indianapolis, Aug. 13 —By substituting two lines of tile and turning the course of the deep open ditch which formerly paralied the state road for 600 feet about a mile and a half from Hartford City on ’ the Hartford City-Fort Wayne highway, the state highway commission has eliminated one of the most dangerous turns and bridge approaches in Indiana. The action follows a visit to Hartford City of William J. Titus, chief bridge engineer, who inspected the situation at the driection of the commission, and recommended the changes to be made for relief, Lawrence Lyons, director, says. The open ditch at the point of contact with the road crossed under an obsolete type of wooden bridge and then paralleled the road for a » J- ■ ' d J . V J ’ considerable distance. • The bridge approach was on a sharp angle ’ and the result was quite frequently if a ! motoriet attempted to negotiate the I turn into the bridge at any eonsidf erat’.e speed, the car swerved into t the ditch and water. Numerous autot mobiles have been wrecked and sev.feral persons injured, some seriously,; II at this road turn.

- — play \ this trick on you by Mrs. Mary Preston Cooking Expert and Food Analyst Honestly, every time i hear of some woman’s being fooled by that outrageous est trick, it makes me so disgusted that I want to go from house to house and expose it. » . . 1 believe in honest competition But when any company tries to prove its baking powder superior—not only to Heckin’s, hut to every ,food baking powder on the market-by false and misleading tests, 1 think eyery woman should know about it. ... This is the trick that is being played on women all over the country: A baking powder that contains dried egg powder is demonstrated to you. A teaspoonful is put in a glass and water is poured over it. Like any baking powder, it fizzes. But the dried egg makes a heavy foam that stays on top of the glass for several minutes. Then the same test is made with any other baking powder that does not contain dried egg. It also fizzes, but there is no foam. The gas passes off into the air just the same as it passes through your dough and makes it rise. But, because of the foam, you are led to believe that the first baking powder is the stronger. Yet, a speck of dried egg in the very cheapest and weakest baking powder made will make it foam the same way. The only reason for dried egg in any baking powder is to create a false impression . of quality and strength by tricky demonstrations. I am glad to say that there will never be any foreign ingredients added to Heekin’s. A better baking powder cannot be made. It will always sell on its quality alone. There is only one real test for any baking powder—that is your baking. You will always 1 be successful with Heekin’s. The Yleekin Company feels so sure of this that they make this • guarantee: If anything you bake—using Heekin’s —does not turn out to your entire satisfaction, I the price of the baking powder and tlie price of i the ingredients will be returned to you. Simply list the prices and send, together with your name and address, to The Heekin Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. 1 know you’ll like Heekin’s. Zu 5 1 !J—.III. 1 JI. I. 11.1.11,1.
