e! The Northern Indiana Fair will open tomorrow evening and there will follow three big days of fun, amusement, education and everything which goes to make a county fair the biggest even of the whole year. Get in the game and join the throngs. We have heard so much about economy at Washington that we were beginning to believe it, but now comes the official statement that there are 20,000 more on the government pay roll than a year ago. Well, any way, the talk helped for it naturally made everybody else be a little more careful about expenditures, but it would aid more if the government was really trying to economize as we were Jed to believe. Chicago is going to try to get congress to appropriate *15,000.000 for a now postoffice building there and their proposal is unique because the plans they offer include a building with a flat root, covering two city blocks and which they ask be used as a landing plate for flying machines of one kind and another. They claim this arrangement would knock an nour off the flying time of mail planes. 1 Its coming and you will be surprised at the advancement along that line during the next few years. "'ta Fair week is here and thousands of people who visited the park Sunday agreed that indications are excellent for a big and successful week, provided of course that the weather is anywhere near right. We are sure ( it will be. The rains of fewdays were badly needed and will help if they let up now for the week. The 1 grounds are covered with tents and attractions and you will be greatly phased with the many features. You will have a good time this week if you permit yourself and you cat; make the fair a continued success by being a genuine booster. Attention will soon turn to the world series for the baseball championship. It looks like a cinch for . the Pittsburg Pirates and the Washington National and with opinion as to the winner of the big battle about even/y divided. Its Interesting to ' nbte. that a lot of people who never see a ball game and who don’t pay attention to the results during the year become greatly excited over the wind-up. but there's no barm in that and it docs get their minds off of a lot of ugly things like murder, banditry. sensations and trouble, so let’s go. _____ The Hoosier Motor Club and the Hoosier State Auto Association have started a campaign to change the lawin Indiana which permits all officer to stop an automobile and search it for liquor. They declare that thousands of cars were routed through other states because of fear of this humiliation. They cite a number of instances to prove their claims and say that, the state has lost millions of dollars as a result of the law which considers every tourist a law vioator. They will urge that the next legislature amend the law so that only a uniformed officer has the right to stop a car or search the occupants. The death of P. J. Hyland this morning, removes another of the wellkuovn business men of the city. Tor

as a foreman on the construction of the gas mains and we have known him well. He was a good-hearted, well minded man. a good listener with a pleasant smile and a cheery "howdy’’ that was good to hoar. He • was always for those things which I helped the community and aided them . to the full extent of his means. Paddy ifyland was a good felow. and will be missed. The work of planning a memorial for Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter goes forward steadily as it deserves for there is nothing in all the world, nothing in your life, nothing for the com niunity more inspirational than the study of nature, as it was studied byMrs. Porter. Its great to do things which live, its fine to perpetuate the work of a woman like this great Adams county authoress. Your buildings will be torn down after a while, your money will be distributed, there will be nothing left In the years to come except the memory of how you sefrved. If you aid in teaching to the children of this county those things discovered by the author of the "Girl of the Limberlost" and thats what this movement will do if it is successful, you will have done a thing well worth while. Its up to you. all of you and each of you, to make it so. o IBig Features Os ( RADIO ; Programs Today ( Monday's Five Best Rarfio Features Copyright 1925 by United Press WEAF, New York. 492; WC|AE.

' The People’s Voice | ] ( THE HIGHWAY REPAIR FUND ' Editor Democrat: , Dear Sir:—ln your issue of Sept. 9 on th'' subject "Tax Economy" some < one seems to claim great credit on I' account of a cut in the amount of the levy tor repair and maintenance of highways. In view of many criticisms of the unbaUuiced distribution 1 of taxes, excessive amounts given to ' state highways and insufficient amounts to our local stone roads, it seems to me that the article of above date is ill advised. Our past arguments havc all been tuned to the refrain. “Equal benefits to all taxpayers, special privileges to none." Now the tune has been changed and wc seek to justify a Cut m tbc tax rate, just when it injuriously affects the many. There is no justification of the action of the county council <in cutting the repair and maintenance fund, even if they were advised by other county efficia/'s. Everyone acquainted with the first principals of the needs of Adams county highways knows that the amount of the last year’s levy was insufficient to protect our investment in good permanent roads. Why pick out the road fund as the victim for this so-called economy program? This, in my judgment, is penny wise and pound foolish policy. We have invested over three and ot>''-he!f million dollars in our highways. Now to make a tax record, the road repair fund is s'ashed and the road investment is jeopardized ' and the taxpayers Interests are permanently injured. 1 The value of oar read investment " is several times the amount invested in our county jail, court house, county farm, the hospital and all ‘ county equipment combined. I appre--1 elate the need of all these and that they should be kept in the best con-

dition possible and additional improvements are under contemplation while the ax has fallen upon the repair of highways passing the hirms of our taxpayers who are not fortunate enough to bo on the council or live along state highways or on n special road. The action of the county council by and with the advice of some ,one is an injustice to the taxpayers. In the past few weeks a petition was granted to construct an asphalt pavement bearing the name of one of the councilmen. The cost Is something more than *17,000.00 and yet he thinks that *200.00 is not needed to keep one mile of macadam rqad in repair. 1 do not object t« the asphalt pavement, but I do object to economy preached in the fuco of such inconsisted facts ’ Another petition is nn ftic for a paved road from Berne east, the same to be built tinder the county unit law. The taxpayers of Adams county would be interested tn knowing which of the county councilraen sign-

ed this petition. Three and onehalt million dollars invested in roads and no other place available to cut the tovy than in their maintenance, looks like folfy to mo. Now Mr. Taxpayer which, in your judgment, is the cheaper for us all. a few pennies for a reasonable tax rate to keep onr roads in good repair, or dollars for new construction?

Workman. 29, and Miss Rose Podlc- ' sak. both of Chicago, who were hurtled to the ground when Workman's i airplane dropped from a height of 200 feet near here yesterday.
