Two weeks from today is the last opportunity to register. Have you qualified to vote? It's important this year for upon the results in Indiana largely depend whether your taxes will be les s the next four years. William G. McAdoo and Governor Smith conferred today with John W. Davis, democratic nominee for president and both will stump the country for him. Smith will tour the east and McAdoo the far west it is expected and with the announcement and the i further word that Smith will again be candidate for governor the democratic cause has stepped out ahead of the ■White House procession. Rev. Lawrence Hight, of Ina. Illinois, ha s confessed to the murder of his wife and a man named Wilford Sweetin. because he wanted to put them out of their suffering. It is claimed the minister was infatuated with Mrs. Sweetin. Now comes the prosecuting attorney and declares he will not ask the death sentence. Os course so long as this mushy attitude of officials continues, the murder epidemic will increase. Have you registered? You can do so by calling at democratic headquarters or by sending word to any of the candidates or to Dan Tyndall, the county chairman or by calling at your voting place on Octber 6th. There are three ways to register, first, by doing so at your voting place; second, by filling out the blank and having it sworn; third, by filling out the blank and having two witnesses from your precinct sign. It’s very simple but it’s necessary if you want to vote and of course you do this year. October sth to 11th is Fire Prevention Week. During those six days you are asked to clean the premises of paper, rubbish and waste, to see that the chimney is safe for the winter, that electric wires are prop erly insulated and that all possibili ties for starting a conflagration are looked after. Seventy-five percent, of the fires in the state are preventable if proper attention i s given. During Fire Prevention week you are asked to do this. Naturally we intend to do these necessary things, but we are prone to put them off and then before we know it. along comes a fire with all its terrible consequences. Let’s every one enter into the proper spirit of the week. As long as it is costing $75,000 mo’e a day to operate the state of Indiana.! you can bet your last penny there can be no real tax reduction. Until overhead i 3 cut off. at least that part of it which is needless and foolish, any attempts to reduce taxes is only a case of “Borrowing From Peter to Pay Paul." What we spend and what e contract to pay must be raised in taxes either directly or indirectly. The trouble with the present Indiana administration is that they do not spend wisely or judiciously. Dr. McCulloch tells you in plain word, how he proposes to reduce your taxes. That's good sewse. He deserves your vote.

Face to Face r. T. With r. Dr. Carleton Simon r, Eminent Criminologist g (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) B | "Eery crime has a cause —the question is what would others do unde? 8 the same circumstances. Resisting ® power is the esent lai,” declared Dr. Carleton Simon, the eminent < riinin- ® ologist in diseus&ing the Franks case. ®| “In the routine of every day life, we “ do not realize all that Is required by 8 the Police Department co-operating through law enforcement agencies to keep in check the impellent passions that might create crime and disaster. "Control and prevention of crime is one of the great problems of peace 'time and became an important problem in the days following the war. (The aftermath of the World War ’(brought a wave of world wide crime. I, Pistols were in more common use. ! | Human life was more carelessly ret garded. Things were somewhat out t of gear.” .1 Dr. Carleton Simon of New York. I Deputy Police commissioner, was I speaking. An alienist and crimin5 ologist of international repute for some years, his observations are pertinent at this time. The New York Police Department under Commissioner Enright placed the Narcotic Division in charge of Dr. ! Simon. In a little over three years • an army of over twelve thousand narcotic adicts and criminals have passed through his hands. Twelve thous1 and derelicts drifting on the tides—- • the flotsam and jetsam of humanity . coming under the supervision of one 1 man is a spectacle difficult to picture, i Articles on crime and insanity written by Dr. Simon have been quoted in almost every language, for crime is a : problem universal. He is a master of the subject because of his experiences and exceptional opportunities., to study all types. There are many 1 medical and legal questions involving criminological problems to which < he has devoted much time in invest!- ! gating. Lecturing on criminology be- i ' fore the Detective School of the New 11 . York Police Department, he has form-p • ulated an exhaustive line of research '; that gives definite promise of results.

( Dr. McCulloch proposes, if he is < elected governor, to immediately ask 1 ■ the legislature to arrange for a re- j ‘ appraisement of real estate in Indi-' • 1 ] , ana. He declares that the present » valuation was placed when farms were ; .worth twice what they are now and • . 1 he believes that it is only fair and J just that this correction be made now. r He promises to do everything he can t to reduce taxes and to make an equit-1 I able distribution. He will combine, several of the boards as they now exist 1 and abolish a number of the useless; i- commissions. This is a promise he will s keep and it is to the interest of those! s who wish lower cost of government i e to vote for him. e y The state tax hoard has fixed the 1 . state rate at twenty-eight cents, a re-1 duction of two cents and thi s in the /face of the cold fact that the state 11 1 e 'debt today is $3,175,000. Bob Bracken, democratic state auditor warned the j board that the rate as fixed means aj 3 continued deficit but they insisted on ; it. Os course the reduced rate under such conditions is for the sole pur- ( pose of influencing votes, going on . the old theory that the people do not . understand what is going on. It is noticeable, however, the board fixed the general fund at considerable more and made the reduction on the state I institutions, thus crippling that part I of the state’s service an a very irn--1 portant part. The only sensible way to reduce taxes is to reduce-the demands for them and this has not been done. Evidently the-republican tax I board expects to turn the government of the state over the demcrats and are thus trying to put them in the hole. — o ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ '<♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ ♦ From the Dally Democrat file* ♦ c 1 ♦ 20 years ago this day 4* ************** r' I Sept. 23. 1904 —Beau-not Club holds meeting with Miss Edna Ehing-

* DR. CARLETON SIMON says: "Crime is often an abnormally developed ego—a form of selfishness that causes the criminal to disregard for the moment, everything in the world but himself—his own wishes and his own passions.” Insight into the criminal mind lias made him in some ways a veritable mind reader, which together with his experience as a medical expert and a . natural aptitude have qualified him as an expert. Analytical qualification in the psychological realm, as applied to pathological mentalities, has made him considered one of the most prominent criminologists in the world. 1 “There must be a stronger fibre of 'moral tissue developed,” said Dr. Simon. "The percentage of the helplessly criminally inclined and drug addicts is so small compared to the population of this country that it is encouraging to know the problem is one that can be mastered to a large extent by applying the simple rule of getting right at the first crime and make law breakers early understand the moral responsilibities they owe to othera. F T f “Crime is often an abnormally developed ego—a form of selfishness that causes the criminal to disregard, for the moment, everything in the world but himself —his own wishes i and his own passions. c In his office in New York, the keen. I dark, piercing eyes, of Dr. Simon have 11 faced individual after individual im- I mersed in criminal impulse from the the use of drugs or hereditary in-. stincts. but he still maintains an irredeemable faith and hope in the ; average human.

It is an organization of service. When we say that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an organization of service, we mean much more than the every day tangible service rendered our customers through the manufacture, sale and delivery of oil products. “Service’ 1 is a comprehensive term. It means anticipating the needs of the public and preparing to supply these needs when the demand comes. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is laboring day after day to widen the sphere of usefulness occupied by the petroleum industry. It is broadening the field of service which oil products offer to humanity. It is extending the application of exact science in this most fundamental of all modern industries. It carries on continuously a search for knowledge which shall be of value to society. In carrying on this great work, it calls upon human ability in every field; it seizes upon the most daring ideas and labors to make them practical through unceasing effort. Problems which presented seemingly insuperable difficulties have been overcome —limitations which threatened to hamper the development of the industry hare been removed. Improvements in refining, marketing and distribution have been developed, perfected and put inro daily operation. Yet, this is but part of the great service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This generation scarcely can appreciate the roe which oil will play in the future. Anticipating the demands which will be made upon it, the Standard I ■ Company (Indiana) is attracting to its ranks, men wit the training, knowledge, vision and enthusiasm neces sary to pioneer in the development of the petroleum industry as it will be tomorrow and in the days to come. The core of Standard Oil Service is in the keen minds of the men who labor in the laboratory and t e workshop —unseen and unnoted by the public. t 1 this part of the organization which has enabler t,e Company to render so complete a service to society. Here a host of perplexing problems are taken pr<' lems of manufacture, problems of application, an problems of effectiveness —and each is studied, wor upon and solved, that the patrons of the Standa, Company (Indiana) may get the greatest value tor money they spend.
