matter of law inforcement. —New Or*[ b ans Picayune. A favorite sport of the candidate* I for governor seems to bi* to list those whom they will discharge from office as soon a.- they ar" sworn in. With this in mind, we should njake some i effort to get Adams county on the program for better roads within the' next year for no one knows just what will happen. Anyway, the sooner we can ( get hard surface rouds started, the * better it w ill be for us. We are pay ing out our good money and we ough. to have something in return. Sun 1 they won't continue to spend about | fI.GOO a mile on this macadam road each year. It has been suggested tha*. , we secure the right-of-ways between > hi a*-* and the AH n county line, at one> the petition providing that it is I not effective’ unless we get the con j, cre te or brie k i roads and we believe ■ ’ it a wi ■ suggestion. Who will do It? Sum" farrier along th" line can' get it in a day or two if he will. I Wc* alway have taxes with us. We don't like to pay them. Taxation a'- t v ;,v i,. a burning issue.

Tin- first and third » points are inseparable. Farmers ar- * tomplaining they bear th" heaviest part of the tax burden. The rea-on for ( thl- is the fait that many tangible- , •re not put on the tax duplicates, des | p*t * vigilance of officials. Th** farm <*r ■ propc rtv is where everybody c an • it and it cannot fall to to be lax<*<i When tm re intangiblc-s are put on th" , diiplhat* « there will be a more equal di tributlon of tin- burden. But the most important point is th" reduction of public expenditures. If motley l» | appropriated taxes must be made high | • rough to produt eit Otherwise, we have a < ondition sue h as prevails in the Statehouse, where the tax rate Ims not been mtide sufficiently high: to meet expenditures and officials are wondering from day to day where th"' pay rolls an* coming from. The only reasonable answer to the* tax problem l» u reduction of exp nditures. — Indiatm|*<»lis Time t. 1 THE ONLY WAY You may not accomplish anything ' j much i Tliomth vou toil and struggle for . year*; May feel, in the* end, you have utterly falls-d Me mory may bring only tears, f B’tl thlwl» sure. 4f you do not try . n I You now youll have lived in vaiu. |( , Tile unh way holding promise at all i Is to keep riaht on. y liu may gain. | - A.
