ITS GOOD BUSINESS: — Eliminating all esthetic Consideration and art pleas, any movement to enhance the attractiveness of a city is a business proposition of no small

concern. Municipal beauty pays. Every property owner, no matter in what section of the city he may live, is benefited by improvements that are made in ills community. Business shares indirectly in the betterments, for they advertise a city as effectively as do many other projects. A city whose homes uniformly are kept in a good condition recommends itself to the attention of the stranger. Every dirty and dilapidated bit of environment detracts from the general effect the tidiness and neatness. It mars the whole picture. The appearance of an entire city block is ruined by one house with an unkempt premise, litered with paper and rubbish, and advertising the pwner’s unconcern about civic tidiness. Attractive streets are to be found where all the property owners have developed the idea of civic responsibility for neatness to such a point that the whole row of houses shows it.

Some o£ the owners of untidy premises fail to see the financial advantages of cleanliness. They do not know that neglect of this kind detracts from the value of their homes. An attractive neighborhood meiiis additional profits to them if they try to dispose of their property. If every part of the city presents a neat and clean appearance, the whole community will have a pleasing aspect. Two or three beautiful streets do not make a beautiful city. Tfctj' merely stand out in contrast to the unattractive streets. All the streets and all the sections of a city must conform with a standard of tidiness and neatness if the whole municipality is to be regarded as a beautiful one.—Richmond Palladium. In a number of nearby counties plans are complete to carry out the orders form the state board of health to kill all dogs found running loose and unmuzzled. The order from the state department calls attention to the fact that 128 people have been and are being treated at the Pastear laboratory for rabies and that the disease has been increasing for seven months. It has spread even to live stock and in cattle is similar to the old foot and mouth disease. Police officers, sheriffs and marshalls are instructed to kill all dogs found running at large without being muzzle*!' or under control and the order is effective ninety days. Now the republican candidates for the senatorial nomination have something to work on any way. Both Senators Watson and Robinson havd made public speeches and guring the next week their opponents can have all kinds of fun tearing to pieces their arguments of why they should be in while many "deserving” aspirants are out. Bob Tucker says its a ten to out bet that Senator Watson will be nominated over Clarice Adams, but perhaps Bob hasn’t been away fro'n Che Columbia club very far the past couple of weeks. While the odd: Bhotthl be in favor of the Indiam political boss who is backed by 'till machine, they will probably be sur prised at the vote Mr. Adams re ceives. It looks from this view mon

Edward W. Browning, millionaire realtor of New York has adopted another little girl, securing more publicity. He married ‘'Peaches'' Heenan, are fifteen yesterday. They may call him a philanthropist, a benefactor or what ever they wish, but to us he appears like a silly old fool, who is seeking trouble. He'll probably find it too.

Mrs. Lew Shank is for Watson and her spouse, the former mayor of Indianapolis is strong for Adams. I: is said the arguments can be heard far down the block and so far art about even. It will probably not be decided until the May 4th primary and some times in these family disagreements there are hangovers. Banditry is a business. Fifteen prisoners escaped from a Nashville prison Saturday and while the officers were in pursuit of them, they stopped long enough to burglarize a bank of $15,000, thus financing themselves foi a try to any foreign port they can reach. Frenchmen are shocked to learn they must swear to their income tax reports, declare messages from over there. Thats nothing, Frenchy, over here millions have sworn at 'em for several years but it doesn't stop payments.

Perhaps it will soon be necessary to require all the candidates for sheriff and the police force to pass an exam on dog killing. That seems to be one of the important duties just now in Indiana. Well, any way we had a touch of spring and while It lasted only a day. it brought forth a iot of rakes and hoes and spades and other tools, indicating that we are just waiting for a chance at the yards and gardens. Gary will get a lot of free publicity out of the malt tonic eases even it they don’t get to use all the one thousand cases of the "medicine.

Just how many now have you?" Answered John, “A few. Fifty marbles, I should say, but I've ' more than you." I 1 1 “More than I?" said Ed. surprised, “sorely that can't be!

passed by the state legislature in 1921 J This law, they contend, fixed the salary of the county treasurer at $7,500 plus fees for collecting delinquent taxes and numerous other fees. I In Marion county last year, it was ' pointed out, the treasurer derived a revenue of approximately $15,000 exclusive of Barrett fund interest. I The interest in 1925 on this fund I was $60,000, making a total salary of i $105,000 for the county treasurer, the democrats assert. Ed Ramsey, county treasurer,, delelared his action warn l»se4 en a federal court decree of lfteß and a'su-j preme court decision of 1915 which entitled him to the interest. Lawrence Orr, chief examiner of the state lioard of accounts, has suggested a new system which would make the city trustee o fthe fund and turn the interest back to the fund. The Marion bounty fund on January 1 amounted to $1,039,000. o —-— — Daily Democrat Want Ads Get Results Children Need
