After this unless they change the law in some way you won’t have to bother with registering unless you move to another precinct from th" one in which you now reside. By all means qualify this year and be done with it. Register and be quick about it if you intend to take your part in selecting officers who will spend your money the next two years. Os course if you don’t care any thing about it, you won't need to wony and of course you won’t complain whether it suits you or not if you don't register. The last day is Monday and after nine o’clock that evening it’s too late. . The Adams County Witness says that eighty-eight per cent of the taxes arc used at home and that high taxes are therefor due to the local officials. It’s true that most of the tax money is used at home but the rest of the statement is not true. The cause of the high taxes is the new law which permits it. The people will spend money so long as they can under the limits of indebtedness and that's the real trouble. Your valuations were trippled and the limits left as they were. Consequently your taxes were doubled or trippled. Talk as you may the facts remain that the taxes are much higher than they could have been under the old law and there is just one cause--the new tax law. You won’t get relief

until it is changed and a limit fixed on the amount which can be spent. Adams county has never sent a representative to congress. We have the opportunity this year and we believe the voters of this section will do their part by voting for John Tyndall. He has lived among you always, has played the game straight, believes from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head in those things of greatest benefit to the people. He knows the farmer’s battle, the laborer’s trouble, the business man's uphill fight. He knows the tricks played against the people and he will if sent to Washington, devote his time to fighting for you. If that's what you want and you do, ■why not vote for John Tyndall? He will report back to you and he will make good if given the opportunity.

He is entitled to a vole of coulideuce from thia county and wo feel sure from all reports Uuu be will receive it. Some of the republican political speakers, anxious to discuss sometiling other than their own record* are repeating much of their speeches of two years ago and as they reach the climax, proclaim in dramatic fashion: “If we were in the league of' nations now we would be sending our boys alongside the Greeks and the British against the Turks." To any one with a grain of common sense this ought to be sufficient to convince of the bankrupt condition of the orators. Canada is in the league and you haven’t heard of them sending any men across, Argentina and Sweeden and fifty other nation* are members but not a man has been tent to the front. Even Great Britain is only defending her own. However they should mention the fact that the United States which is not a member of the league is the only nation in North or South America which has sent armed forces to Turkey. We have dispatched twenty \merican destroyers there. A lot of folitical speakers think the only way o win a campaign is to misrepresent he facts to the voters. The league n nations is not an issue in this ampaign. Tho real question is the ecord of the administration and the Do nothing congress.” A four page circular headed ’"I he’ ruth about your taxes” was sent io ome of the voters of this county this uorning declaring that only twelve .er cent of the entire total of money aised goes to. the state which doesn't loan a thing. Os course if your ownship builds school houses end oads you must pay for it. The cirular shows that from this county ve send $118,265.12 to the state. Think of it and this is one of the mall counties of the ninety-two in Indiana. For the expenses of the opnty and county government the ircular shows we spend $114,405.80. n other words we conduct the conn y for less money than our assessment for stat,£ government. In addiion to this the expenditures at home re largely increased because the ■ew law permits it. The circular 'oes not explain why they are build-

ng a two million dollar palace for riseners, wasting great sums of uoney in various ways, spending :iglit times as much to maintain ach mile of state roads as is used in Adams county on other roads or the other charges of misgovernment. The people understand this tax question better than the tax commission ■nd the republican state committee give them credit for and they are sick and tired of high taxes and poor ‘xcuses. A O NOTICE YEOMEN There will be a meeting of the brotherhood of American Yeomen .text Monday night, at 7:30 o’clock, prompt. A class of candidates will be intiated by the local degrgee team which will appear in new robes which were received this week. There will also be installation of officers.

The People’s Voice YOU SHOULD VOTE Editor Democrat: it has often been asked, "what are our ideal* of citizenship, individually, collectively ancT nationally." Or haven't we any. Arjy we that selfcen ter nd? Does the world mean any thing to us? Do we mean anything to the world except the money bags of Sbyßxik? Is that the *xtent of our Christianity? Does it measure the depth of our civilized veneer? Are we our brothers keeper or is that lim ited to individuals? True, our ideals should begin at home in our home community but that's no reason they should be con fined there. Every citizen should take a positive attitude a*d do his duty however humble. The little things are as essential as the big although perhaps not as important on their face. We can't all be leaders, some must be pushers. Some people are too interested in chasing the al mighty dollar to perfect or fulfill ttyvir franchise. Is money their ideal, is it their object in life, their god? Some are just careless, others imply apathetic, in regard to voting Would not a few of us kick like the proverbial bay steer if we could not vote? What is the accounting for this cross current and contradiction of human life? One of the causes of the Revolutionary war was taxation without representation. Haven’t we taxation pow? Confiscation would be more apt. Can we induce the political profiteers to respect us and give us what we want if we remain at home on election day? No matter how many chibs you belong to; how often you attend church: 1 will not say you are not a good citizen unless you vote, but 1 do say you are a better one If you do vote conscientiously. Although not only from a human itarian standpoint 1 believe this country should not refrain from lending its moral influences to the old coun try. A few years ago Wilson brought ajcross the water one of the greatest human documents of modern times and we were opening a new epoch for America that of scratching elbow? with the Europeans and an era of great prosperity was ushered in. The Republicans have reversed this policy, built a wall around us and here we are almost like the China ot' olden times. I believe a mistake was made in putting the league in politics. It's too for partisanship. The American public should examine it calmly, feel it, taste it, touch it and smell it if necessary, then after thoroughly analyzing and dissesting the child put on the clothes deemed necessary. Yours Respectfully JOHN SMITH, Farmer. •— MR. PATTERSON EXPLAINS I take this method of expressing

I myself in regard to certain petitions of which some of you are very familiar with, at presentation of said petition, assure you that I was unaware ot any such action that might be placed within. My thought and object in so doing was to accomodate those in High School work. And giving those the privllodge within their rights and donot care to be charged with any intent that might discomode others 1 would ask that the responsibility be placed on the responsible ones. I wish to say to those that are placing me as being in favor ot centrillzing this township with already our goodly number of school buildings are entirely wrong and without foundation whatever. I wish to make it plain to you, as one of the peition er* of school building in district No. 4. Am very much displeased with the action which prolonged the construe tion of our much needed school building. 1 feel that this matter however should be ruled by the state laws as well as trustee and taxpayers of Blue Creek township, and for any official that has deprived as from the upe of said school has placed nothing to his credit.

1 wish It to be understood that I am positively no guarantee of any such action or any expenses that may be in connection. And to the interest of our people we feel that justice will rule these few remarks I care to make in defence of myself which may be of interest to you and as a candidate for trustee will pledge myself if elected to merit the confidence thus ’placed within to make any community greater we should strive to cooperate.
