As there are about 3,500 pre■cincts in this state, that would mean ■about 50,000 workers.

- - ■■ - = ■i Those three candidates in the Pennsylvania primary spent a total of $1,835,745 to secure the nomination for an office which would pay a total salary of $60,000 for the term. Why do men do this unless there is some reason back of it which makes it worth doing? They don't. They want the power to sit in with the law makers and help them work for those laws which mean greater profits to them and their friends. At least thats the only explanation that sounds reasonable and that’s what the public believes when they hear of such wild expenditures in a political campaign. Mr. E. A. Barnes, general superintendent of the General Electric company’s Fort Wayne plant writes a congratulatory letter over the new public swimming pool here. About a year ago a suggestion was made that such an improvement would add to the numerous advantages here and the promptness and speedy comple-

Lower, president of the Adams county organization of the benjamin Franklin highway, has called a meeting for this evening at which time pl/ins will be discussed for meeting the assessment of *3OO to pay our share of the expenses of routing, marking and advertising this route which promises to not only become one of the most popular east and west roads but to be the one selected by the government as the official military trail. It means much for the future and we should not falter in our duty which includes of course the paying of our share of the expenses. Attend tonights meeting if you are interested, and you should be. Hand-picked state accountants hate filed a report of the handling of surplus war materials by the state highway commission, showing that a considerable amount is not accounted for. Os course there is just a chance that some of the machinery was worn out and would not show on any report unless charged as depreciation which does not appear to have been done. A lot of folks think the whole transaction is a "frame” and that the efforts to remove Crawford and Williams has brought the politicians to a place "here they will leave nothings undone to influence the public. ,Th> trial wiH occur early next month and will be watched with great interest and the hope that the result will not deliver to the politicians the highway organization and its fifteen million dollars a year.

‘‘Your Health” This Column is conducted by the Adams County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Association in the interest of the public’* health. Prevent Hay Fevfir Now. Now is the time to start your battle to prevent hay fever rather than in August when the disease is under way,” says the bulletin issued today by the Publicity Bureau of the Indiana State Medical Association. “Act now, or since we are speaking of hayfever, wo might say ‘make hay *hile the sun shines.’ “It is generally known that seasonal hay-fevet is caused as a rule by inhaling the pollen of plants which are blooming at the time, but many details of the process are not fully appreciated,” continues the bulletin. "It is impossible to get the disease unless the particular pollen to which the patient is susceptible is floating in the air which he breathes. "The hay-fever subject should first And out to what plants he is sensitive. Any physician can make this test for you, provided he is supplied with the dried pollens of the suspected plants, br has extracts of them. It is evident that it is useless and misleading to test a native of Indiana for susceptibility to mugworth ar sweet vernal grass which

are kno - ’n to cause hay-fever, because these plants do not grow here; 1 there is also no need to test for sus- j Iceptibility to grasses if the fever is i of the fall type. I "Having determined what plants ( ’are responsible, it might be well to (try preventive treatment. This treatment may consist of about fifteen hypodermic injections given by a physidlan at intervals which he will

determine. It is best to begin this process during the month of May if the hay-fever is of the fall type. Treatments of this kind made during the course of the disease (co-season al) are often of value, but are not as good as those given before (preseas onal.) It the hay-fever is of the spring or summer type, the corresponding injections should be started during the late winter or early spring months. “While a great number of plants exist that may cause the disease, the actual problem of finding the culprit is easier than it may at first appear. The great majority of cases occuring in the spring are due to the grasses, particularly timothy, and since the grasses are all quite closely related, treatment with this one extract usually suffices to immunize against al) grass susceptibilities. Likewise flic fall type of the disease is almost always due to the ragweeds (common and giant ragweed), and treatment with a mixed extract of these two pollens is usually efficacious. "Immunization is not always successful but medical science is making steady headway along preventive lines. It is said to benefit in one form or another nearly half of the patients who take the treatment, provided they do not suffer from some nasal disorders which are present , throughout the year. The procedure at least is well worth investigation j and may allow the patient to live in comfort that season of the year which is so dreaded by hay-fever sufferers.” i

X X « XXXKSXXXBXXXXXXXM THE SCHOOL UNIT Editor Democrat: — In these remarks I have ondoavor-j ed to be impartial with no measure, of hostility or prejudice to any person, class, sect or opinion. Yet a! baseball umpire will quite often favor the home team in a pinch. There is much agitation in favor of a law to redistrict the school unit of the state. There is also as much agitation against any proposed change and chances are that the approach-! Ing session of the legislature will see an increase both pro and eon. Now.' regardless of opposition to this proposed measure there is a point that stands out to the unbiased observer as feasible as n working proposition. That is for the county to buy the supplies for each township from coal to chalk and slot ‘he expense among the i several townships according to their , requirements of supplies. Here seems a good opportunity for the county board of education to give this point a trial and the test would J show whether a saving would be pro i rated to each township by virtue of ] larger buying. And while we are on ] the subject of cooperation, why not i take over the contract for supplying ( the school books for the entire coun- j ty? A saving seems possible along i the line here somewhere. i Tax is a great subject and I would ] like to “bust a lance” on it. They | have tax for this, tax for that and , tax for the other thing until some- ] times people wonder if they arc sup- | posed to be made out of tax. Not ( questioning the merits of a just tax- ] atiem or its economical disposition I ’ wish to mention this new tax pfopo- ( tition, i.e., state income tax. No ] doubt it has objectionable features ] as well as those that are meritorious, i I have spoken in favor of this tax ( different times during the last two ] or three years. As an -additional tax i I believe it would be unjust. As an ( equalizer apparently it will afford [ some relief byway of distribution of j tax. It will not come under what , was called a few years ago as single ' tax but should take care of a percent ' of the state tax. It might be tried i out at 10, 25 or 30 percent. ' Let us examine the merits of the i case. Who pays tax today? I)o we , pay according to age or size or the ] number of children we have or the | amount of fine clothes we can sport i around in? Tax is unpopular. Tax- ' ing methods are more or less ante- ] quated admitting of improvements as i machinery and forces of power and , energy have been in late years. --To- | day the property owner shoulders the ; tax burden. Tangibles pays the bill, I practically. No tax can be expect- ( ed to be approved unanimously as ; self applicable any more than pulling i teeth or prohibition. h Is tax just? If so why? Who re- ] ceives the benefit? Tax is just when i neople are justly taxed and thb tax i is justly spent not to create more , jobs or find more places to spend it. i All to some extent receive benefit. ( Now do all pay according to that ] benefit? h“he law permits one man I to make perhaps four hundred dol- < lars, another a thousand. Perhaps ] the former pays *200.00 tax and the ] latter perhaps *40.00 tax. Is that i equitable? Each have the same use ] of the roads, schools, etc. That is | the farmers position today compared ( with the laborer, the professional , man. etc. What group is offering ] objection?

It is often said 'tis a poor rule that won't work both ways. A parallel IS furnished here for a redistribution of tax credit. We all pay to support our state public institutions, buildings and seats of learning. To reverse the thing why porations of the state that cater to shouldn’t all the great industrial corthe general public have their tax pro-rated to the credit of the different counties? And to come closer home. In the county tax why not pro-rate the tax of those same industrials to the credit of each and every township? We all support them They should reciprocate. “Ain't I right or ain't 1” as Golduh Stubbins says. Now if the primary law is lost without objection will we have any mourners at the obsequies? It looks like a reactionary step to me to have it repealed. Your respectfully. JOHN SMITH.
