( J The state tax board has notified

assessors of Vigo county that unless the valuations are increased, there the commission will do it by means of a horizontal increase. Vigo officials are inclined to let them do it and carry the responsibility of such .action. Similar cases will no doubt be reported from about ninety-two counties in Indiana. Are you ready for the coal strike? It is scheduled to open at midnight tomorrow. All lines are set and it seems impossible to head it off, useless as it appears to the average person at a time when so many factories are closed and the season which demands fuel is about over. There are those who think the plan a pre-arranged one to create a shortage and force increased prices of coal for next winter. The letter from Daniel W. Simms, a leader of Indiana, a brilliant attorney and a candidate for the democratic nomination for United senator, is worth your -careful study for in his message Mr. Simms tells some truths that we all know but too often pass up because it’s easier just to sit back and criticize than it is to actually step out and do things. There is too much of the idea of letting the other fellow carry all the responsibility. If things are not right, you should help make them right. Fred VanNuys will be temporary chairman of the democratic state convention at Indianapolis on June Ist, and Lincoln Dixon will be permanent chairman. These selections

' were made by a committee named to complete arrangement* and whiuh reported yesterday, A number of candidates for state office are now canvassing the state and the delegates elected in the eomlng primaries will be quite popular evidently. VanNuys and Dixon are well known leaders and splendidly capable, assuring a rousing convention. The report of the city ofllfficlals showing Ithe condition of the city plant should be of much interest to citizens of Decatur. When the affairs of a city are running smoothly as they are now we are likely to not think much about it or give credit where credit is due. The report shows a profit in the electric light department of about *IO,OOO during the past year, after paying interest and allowing a depreciation charge. This year the plant should earn twice that amount and those in charge believe it will. We are going along nicely, the city has a good credit, the lighting system is being operated in a business- 1 like manner and the streets are well 1 illuminated each night. As a good , citizen you should say so. Boost , your home town. IS- J

s Senator New will sit at his desk in Washington tonight and deliver a speech for the benefit of a meeting in Indianapolis while at the same ! time hundreds of other radio machines will pick up the first political , address ever delivered in this man ner, for the plan is to send it via wireless. The idea is uniqque but ■ the questions of the hour are somewhat important for this long range stuff, and Mr. Beveridge will probably be able to reply in the old-sash ioned way most effectively to what ever his opponent thus radiates by means of radio. The plan if found feasible may become popular and soon millions will listen to the speeches of the nation's leaders. However, we doubt if this means of communicating political messages will ever effectively take the place of the old "pound the table" methods. Most of us want to see them perform. Hundreds of friends in Allen coun ty will be interested in the announcement that the Hon. John W. Tyndall of Decatur will be a candidate for the democratic congressional nomina tion in the Eighth district. About fifteen years ago he held the seat for the joint senatorial district of Allen and Adams counties and was a sound land diligent legislator. He was punctual to his duties and as attentive to his obligations in Allen county as to his obligations in his home county. He is a business man and manufacturer, and has made a distinct suc- • cess of his undertakings. As a demo-

crat he la everything plus. Mr. Tyndall la no tanoy »tato*maa, no inexhaustible windjammer, 'but he is a sturdy citizen, a capable, practical man, the kind of fellow who can go to congress and acquit himself with credit to his district, and honor to his state and to the benefit and satisfaction of his constituents. Mr, Tyndall should be able if nominated to give Congressman Vestal an interesting campaign. — Fort Wayne Evening Press. NEW CORYDON

WHY LEAVE HOME? (Continued from page one, in any climate and these requirements may be fulfilled right here in Indiana. In the same report from the national association it is shown graphically that Hoosiers have been in the vanguard of the great migration to the west, and southwest —many titties in the false hope of being cured. Under "Sources of Migration,” the national report said: “We are able quite definitely from this study to fix responsibility for much of this migration. A few states are responsible for most of it. They are, in order:, Illinois, • Nfw Ybrtt. Missouri, Ohio,Pennsylvania and Michigan. In the next group to the big six come Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Minnesota, which together with the ones already mentioned, furnished half of the migration to the southwest.” Those who have tuberculosis are cautioned to plan carefully before

leaving home for other states. If they have enough money to insure proper care, good food, medical treatment and peace of mind, then the trip may be made. If they lack funds they should stay at home. Recovery can be made in Indiana under the proper supervision. Every well conducted sanitarium, no matter where situated, will produce good results. Those having tuberculosis should place themselves under the care of a competent physician and follow his advice. A SUITABLE NAME • ■■ — ll Hoosier Automobile Association Offers Cash Prize for a Name TO BE APPLIED To the Careless Auto Driver —A Campaign Against Reckless Driving. Indianapolis, Ind., March 30. —(Special to Decatur Daily Democrat)— "What is the name for the reckless

driver, corresponding to the term •jay walker' as used for the pedestrianasks the Hoosier Automobile Association in a bulletin issued today. “What is the term or word that will best fit the boob or hick driver who never signals; who is rowdy and always pushing his car ahead of general traffic; who cuts corners regardless and who turns corners with no thought for the welfart of pedestrians; who dashes through intersections without thought of possible traffic coming from other directions and who leaps on across railroad crosings without any effort to see whether or not a train or car is coming; and who, even when he sees such train, tries to beat It acress?” “I realize that Is a long question,” -says M. M. Noblet, manager of the Hoosier association, “and it will take some word or phrase that will pointly as the term ‘jay walker’ applies to the careless pedestrian. “However, 1 am pleased to say that it may be worth while for Hoosiers to get busy, put on their thinking caps and try to coin such word or phrase, for the American Automobile Association is now offering a cash prize of *25 to the person who unearths a fitting sobrequet that will at once convey redicule and opprobrium on the foolhardy and reckless motorist. “The contest, which is open to all, will close May 15 and the award will be made on May 29. Persons wishing to submit names should address Contest Editor, American Automobile Association. 1108 Sixteenth St.. N. W., Washington, D. C." The American Automobile Association is the great nation-wide association with which the Hoosier Association is affiliated. The A. A. A. service gives Hoosier members free touring information and courtesy and service in all the larger centers of the country. The A. A. A. also loks after national affairs and is the recognized authority on all sporting events in motordom. “It is plain Indiana is not alone In boob driving” states Mr. Noblet, “when the A. A. A. offers such a prize. We hope to keep up our fight for safe and sane driving with the opening of spring so that a very marked improvement may be noticed this year. Just let each motor car driver remember his is not the only car on the road or street and to be ever watchful for others; to look out for pedestrians and above all to watch for the undertaker and the coroner just beyond all railroad crossings.”

TICKET NOT FILED The republicans held a meeting at the Smith & Bell office in this city Tuesday evening and it was expected that the names of their candidates for the county offices would be forthcoming. At time of going to press however the names had not been filed. The time limit expires Saturday, April Ist and in the mean time thd republicans will more than likely file their declarations. With the democrats a number of candidates have filed, there being two or four candidates for each county office. o — —— CORRECTION OF ERROR In the article in last evening’s Democrat in regard to the time limit for candidates to file their declarations it was stated that committeemen and delegates to the state convention had until April 13th, to file. This however is in error as it .is only ,tiie• delegates who’ haive uadi lifts date to file, the committeemen must have their declarations in by April Ist. • PATENT LAWS Q. When was the first Patent Law passed? A. On April 10. 1790. Three patents | were granted the first year.
