More than twenty thousand people were killed in automobile accidents in the United States last year. Just now on the threshold of another sea son of speed, bad tires and ruts in the road, it may be wise to stop, look a.id listen, lie as careful as you can if you would dodge the list of dead and injured during the year. It i-. openly reported now from In dianapolis that Earl Crawford, a recognized leader in good road move ments of Indiana is to be removed from the highway commission to make room for a politician. That will be a sad day for Indiana for it opens the road to grafts that will be far reaching and difficult to correct. A number of delegations of Decatur Rotarians left today and more will leave this evening and tomorrow for South Bend where the annual state convention is being held. That it will be a great event is admitted by those who have glanced over the program. It includes a bunch of headline numbers which should inspire every Ro tar an to his best service during tin coming year. (Ice whiz, Charley Bryan while visiting his brother Billy J., down ir little old Miami was arrested on : charge of operating his automobile seventy miles an hour. After the recent campaign its hard to believe Charley could show that nivch speed and we are inclined to the belief tha' its a frame-up to injure the repute tion of the Bryans for conservativeness. The proposed amendment to thconstitution which would enable con l ;ress to control ch Id labor has lost. Twenty nine states have taken action on the amendment through their legislatures aud of tin i number four, including Indiana, have refused ■ to ratify, while only lour states. Arkansas, Arizona, California ami Wisconsin have Voted in favor. The placing of the age limit at eighteen is believed to have been the chief cause for the amendment losing for the average person feels that, under ordinary circumstances children over fifteen years of age should be busy rather than idle under legislation. The Knjghts of Pythias lodges of thi! suite are to be congratulated up on the work they have in hand, that i f a home fbr the orphans ami old mende rs. Nothing appeals to the mind these days like caring for tin fortunate children, and the Knights of I'yt’iiias have sensed the situation in a manner that means success. Dore 15. El*wiu, of Decatur, is the ranking officer of the state in this wonderful organization and fiiiich of the honor will rightfully come to him. The local lodge came across with their mite and did if nobly and willingly. A home for the young and the aged i will be a monument to the order that nothing i in < -f!a<-c. Bluffion Banner. (dm of the most serious problems in this country -it seems is that of jirevcutii'.g lire. Though warnings ar<- being constantly sent out, fire pr-ventiou weeks conducted annual I-. supposedly fire-proof buildings lonstructed, the increase continues so ripWly that instn-ance rates must i- oirum to go up.

At the same ratio of increase the total in 193.3 will be a billion dollars. That a lot of money Io go up in smoke in one year and the sad part about it is that most of it could be saved by being careful. Two weeks more and the 1925 legislature will have made what ever history it can write. There is still talk of adjourning a few days early so that those who so desire may go to Washington for the inauguration, but the real buzz starts today with tile introduction of the budget bill carrying about forty millions in appropri- . itions. Up to date only a few bills ( of importance have been passed. These include the Wright “bone dry" bill, the farmer's co-operative pill, the English bill to make December 11th a holiday kuowu as Indiana day, a bill raising the mprtgage indebtedness to $2,000, the Steele amendment providing for a state income tax on 1 which we will vote in 1926 and the state budget bill. « — o — ( Big Features Os | RADIO j X Programs Today c MONDAY’S fTvE - BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright 1925 by United Press) WLW.
