lua AW ItU Ipi till rs’WUUV) EXPENSE REVISION: — In a column and a half editorial on the state expense revision as recommended by th c budget committee, the Indianapolis News commends the report and in part says: "State government in Indiana, as far as salaries and allowances are concerned, will cost, it is estimted. SIOO,OOO less annually because of legislative budget committee action In a report made public Saturday, the findings of which have been approved by the Governor, there is evidence of painstaking inquiry and high purpose. A was made of the administrative machinery with a view applying appropriations made by the 1925 general assembly where they are not disbursed specificially by statute. Under the authority granted by the legislature comprehensive action is possible. From now on. with one general fund, concentrated and concerted effort to conserve revenue and promote efficiency should be easier. On the general topic of 1 investigation and inspection, the com mittee said: • The committee finds that there are 1 between 300 and 400 agents, invest!- : gators and inspectors traveling over the state, with salaries and expenses paid, looking after, the personal and business affairs of the people. This does not include employes of the high 1 way commission or the sixty state examiners, the nature of whose business take them over the state. Thc committee believes that if some of these agencies were combined and the number of employes of others reduced it would effect a great saving to tire state and a still greater sav- , ing to the people indirectly * * ‘ Many of these officials practically duplicate the work of local officers, until we have the equivalent of three or four officers in each county with a like number of clerks and overseers at the Statehouse to take , care of the inspectors, investigators, etc. No matter from what source these people are paid, whether from fees, licenses or direct tax, it all comes from the pockets of the taxpayers. "Adaquately conceived and constructively applied, the work of the budget committee promises to be of immense service to the state. The membership includes Chief Examiner Orr, of the board of accounts; Robert A. Moorhead, of Indianapolis. Republican. chairman of the senate finance , committee; Walter S. Chambers, of Newcastle, ranking Democratic member of the senate finance body; Rep resentatives L. A. Pittenger, o.t Muncie, chairman of the house ways and means committee, and Thurman A. Gottschalk, of Berne, ranking Democratic member of that committee. The qualifications of these men for the task undertaken is evident in the sane and sensible consideration they have given to a direct problem.” A city well conducted is a wonderful thing for every one who lives in the municipality and we claim that Decatur has been so managed during the past dozen years or more that we ought not to complain. We have told you over and over about it and we expect to continue to do so for we are proud of this city and its municipal plant, fine streets, swimming pool, ornamental lights and we hre prouder of the fact that this has been done with a reduced tax rate. During the past four years George Krick has served as a member of the council and has had much to do with the management of affairs at the city plant. He is splendidly qualified to continue the work as conducted under •Mayor Huber De Voss, whose record is one that will stand any kind of in- • ■>,

All those who are candidates on the democratic ticket are qualified to serve you well and are deserving of your support. The democrats should control this

city for they have a majority of nearly two to one and it means a smoother running city. The candidates have announced their platform which includes an endorsement of the present administration; continued progress at a profit of the city plant; a low tax rate; more ornamental lights; police protection and enforcement of laws; adequate fire protection; honesty and efficiency; women on the boards. Their declared policies include those things best for all and the personal of' the candidates, with due respect to the opposition, warrants the election of the entire ticket. Governor Ed Jackson has so worried himself over the appointment of a United Stages senator to succeed the late Senator Ralston, that he is sick in bed. Jackson wants the job himself but is just a little afraid of the consequences. If he decides that won't do, it seems probable he will name Arthur Robinson. Indianapolis lawyer and intimate friend of D. C. Stephenson who is now busy at Noblesville. Its a sorry plight of this great state and it looks as though we would awaken to the real conditions pretty soon. There’s a time for work and a time for play and every body is enjoy the Callithumpian parade here on Hallowe'en. Thc funds are now in the hands of the committee and reports indicate that many delegations will come in aipi join in the fun. The.e will be prizes, music, noise, horns, confetti, funny faces and funny make ups to make you scream, just a good wholesome time for every one. Plan to join the Mardi Gras crowd here on Hallowe'en. The sale of thirty-two lots in the G. E. addition within two days is a good sign, indicating that there'will be a building boom here next year. We hope every lot buyer will plau to build some, time for the city needs more houses if we are to grow. The sale was a clean-cut proposition and was conducted in such a manner that not a single complaint of unfairness has been heard. We are sure you will find th? moral conditions in Decatur the equal of jsny city in the land and better than ninety-nine per cent, of them. This is a fine place in which to live and churches have made progress here during the past few years. The police force is efficient and they have kept the city clean. Any talk to the contrary is tor policitics pure and simple. W. A. Lower, of this city, has been named as a member of the committee to select the site for the state Pythian home and Dore B. Erwin has been appointed on the building committee, both very Important places. The men named are qualified to serve and tbis community is proud of their selection to these high posts of honor And service in their fraterntal order. o OW*W*««****4 * Big Features Os * * RADIO * * Programs Today * *+********** TUESDAY'S Ra'dlO FEATURES 1 WEAF, New York, 492, and hookup. ! including WEEI.
