If you like the tax law, the tariff and the others which hit you between the eyes, you will probably not be interested in the campaign speeches this year. ."—.’-■■L-l 1 A leading dry goods merchant ol this city showed us a letter today from his rug house in which they gave notice that after tjie tariff becomes effective, a rug now selling for $21.00 will cost $29.00, concrete evidence that

the tariff law is going to be a great benefit to us common people and there are a thousand other instances where you will be bumped. Hon. Walter Myers of Indianapolis will speak at the court room in this city next Tuesday evening and his address should be heard by those voters who are really interested in the issues of the campaign. He is a brilliant young orator, able and one of the leaders of the younger men of the state. His reply to Senator

Petroleum and Independence SAYS the Chicago Tribune, “The automobile has increased the ability of people to take care of themselves — America’s streets and roads are filled with motor cars because —the American in his own car feels the independence of going where he pleases and when he pleases.” The effective use of automotive power depends upon an adequate supply and efficient distribution of gasoline and other petroleum products. The users of automobiles and motor trucks of the Middle West would find themselves seriously handicapped were it not for the practically universal distribution of gasoline and oils, maintained by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This distribution system is continually growing, expanding, and penetrating new corners of the 10 states served by the Company. The number of automobiles in the United States increased 13% during the first six months of 1922 over 1921. The increase in the states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) during the past two years was over 36%. These figures give a fair idea of the rate of increase of distribution facilities required of this Company. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) expands in proportion to the increasing needs of the people it serves. It maintains 3973 bulk stations, so located as to assure rapid distribution of gasoline and oils. The number of these stations is promptly increased , as the need for them arises. It maintains 1605 service stations, situated with a view to the convenience of the motoring public. It maintains throughout the rural districts 7167 tank wagons, which serve the farmer at regular intervals, enabling him to keep his truck, tractor, or motor car ready for instant use. This efficient service of petroleum products is maintained at a high degree of effectiveness under all conditions and is the dominant factor in assuring the independence of the motorist of the Middle West.

Beveridge is a worth while message which every voter should hear. Administration leaders at Washing- ' ton. evidently going on the theory that • a large army assures peace, is de- . manding that the peace-time army be largely increased. Most folks believe that a large army makes a nation enter war often, when if they have to prepare, they will not do so or cannot tn time to thus settle a question. Any way, most people just now oppose nt heart a big military machine. We want peace and we usually don't have it with a great army which can defeat that of any other nation. They are now asking 150,000 men and 13, 000 officers. You can best Judge whether taxes have been Increased or not by taking a look at your receipts for the past four years. You will find that as soon as the new law went into effect your I taxes began to soar and have never oine down to give you a rest. The ■ncreased valuation with the same limit of bonded Indebtedness makes high taxes. Add to that the boost in four state taxes and you have an un- j bearable burden. Its a plain matter ■ if business that you oppose this law ■ md keep on doing it until it is re-! >ealed or so corrected as to be work-1 able. 1 John Tyndall if sent to congress will go to serve you and not to see ' how many names he can get on the 1 payroll. He will tell you the honest | c truth about conditions good or bad, < in the capitol and that's worth some- . thing to every citizen and he will give vqu his own record to consider. I I c iohn Tyndall will not be a rubber v jtamp but a real for sure representa- * ive of the people of the eighth district. You are playing the game safe when you vote for John Tyndall on f November 7th and every citizen of I e Adams countv ought to do it Mr. Beveridge, in the course of Ills •

We have in stock a nice selection of desirable patterns to chouse from JMtgferZ&rxfivare &>. w K jjavac you MONEY campaign, reaches Fort Wayne this evening and will speak. Mr. Bever-’ idge is eloquent, always interesting and will no doubt draw a good crowd. But what a sensation he would create if he were to repeat tonight horn the stage of the Majestic theater the speech he delivered 10 years ago this month from the platform in the old Princess rink. However, Mr. Beveridge is not going to do anything like that or come anywhere near it. Mr. Beveridge was singing “Onward Christian Soldiers" in that campaign. This year he tunes up to “Just As I Am.” —Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. The action of the state tax board in reducing the township fund of Root township from two cents on the hundred dollars to one cent is the best proof we know of that the board, if continued in power, will ruin credit of every township. The valua tion of Root township is two million dollars and the one cent levy will raise S2OO. Out of this, under the law, the salary and office expense of the trustee. $960, is to be paid. Just how this can be done no body understands, except the tax board and they won’t tell. We all want taxes as low as possible, but surely a trustee is entitled to draw his salary. Isn’t it good? If John Tyndall were elected representative to congress from this district we suppose he would not place any member of his family on any government pay rolls nor hand them any political plumbs. There would be other near relatives who would undoubtedly want some recognition for the ceaseless efforts they have put forth in his interest. —Adams County Witness.

Just to ease the mipd of the Berne editor, permit us to say that if he is referring to the editor of this paper, we are not seeking any appointment or any political job and that the insinuation is a very punk answer to the charges that Mr. Vestal not only appointed relatives, but that they did not do any work to earn the government salary they drew. -I'-ia. A good illustration of what has happened to the value of real estate in Indiana and elsewhere, during the past two years, was afforded Saturday at Portland, this state, when a farm of 120 acres sold at administrator’s sale under the hammer for $7,740, or for $54.50 per acre. For fear you may get the idea that that was all the farm is worth, it should be stated that it was assessed for taxes last spring at $11,375. The Portland Sun says the farm is one of the bfcst in Jay county and that two years ago it would have brought $175 per acre. No doubt the purchaser of the farm took into consideration the fact that he would have to pay taxes on a valuation of $11,375 when he was bidding as all real estate was appraised

Md., Oct. 17—Powerful outside influence hax bePis brought to bear to hush up and forestall work of navy officials probing the latest hazing auandal at the Naval Academy, • high official of the academy charged today. “If these outsiders would let us alone, we would make a lasting example of this hazing case and there would be no hazing, In any form at the academy," this offices told the United Press in an interview.
