Chicago WHY A STATE INCOME TAX’— There is a well concerted movement on foot to put through the next legislature of Indiana a state income tax bill Already much publicity is being sent out about this proposed act while newspapers are receiving plenty of requests to publish the arguments in Its favor. This work will undoubtedly be carried on until the general assembly meets next January when the real drive will be made. Just why at this time Indiana should have an income tax is rather hard to understand. Already this state has enough laws which give it a reputation that is not helpful over J the country and to add this additional burden right at a time when all passible methods should be used to attract capital here is beyond understanding. Other states which have placed heavy taxes on incomes have found that wealthy and influential men. prominent industries and organizations have gone elsewhere rather than submit to an additional and uncalled for load. Florida Is splendid example of a state which took a step in the other direction, it forbid in its constitution the passing of a state income or a state inheritance tax Immediately men of wealth and influence as well as industries began coming into the state without being asked. They invested their money freely and this was one of many reasons why Florida experienced such an awakening during the last few years. If large and helpful industries are not taxed heavily they will invest more money continually that will in time result in more taxes for the at ate —in fact, the increase will be as much as t»> be gained by saddling an income fax ob them Tbis has t-.ct-n well tl.d'i since the United states government has decreased its income tax Indus try has onee more 1 doo med forth and money that has been tied up in nontaxable bonds and securities is being pieced where it does much more good. Probably the farmer who has beeu neglected in national and state legislative matters may believe that it the other fellow is making money while be suffers the he should be taxed on bis profits. But it can not be figured that by soaking the industries it will help the farmer as it will not. in fact, the more prosperous the industries the surer it means in thne that „iuue of this money will flow into the bauds of the farmer and help him. But no help can come to the farmer by going after those who have money and spend it and help promote prosnojity. The farmer should be helped and it will come, but it must be along constructive lines for him and not by destructive methods against the industries. —Rochester News-Ben-tiixcl. President Coolidge has congratulated congress and is promising them aid in the coming campaign. It required all the nerve this economic Vermonter had but he gritted his twsfh and issued hie statement, also adding that he would appreciate a republican congress. He may get it for the people are peculiar when it comes to voting but he will never get It because of any record made bj the sixty-ninth congress. The only legislation of importance was the tax redaction which was bi-partisan, the i :!J.-:f ottered tv the smaller income

* tax payers coming from amendments offered by democrats. The best half of the session was devoted to efforts to defeat the request of the farmers for relief measures. Mr. Coolidge is in for a haid Job. UU I__!.L-!JHUL 1 ..'I!' 1 ""* George Dale, who has hud his ups and downs ami ins and outs as editor of a weekly paper at Muncie Is gaiu-j Inga lot of free advertising from the fact that several large newspapers including the Chicago Tribune and the llerahl'Hxamincr have taken up his battle. The Civil Liberties Union which financed the Scopes trial is also backing him according to reports. Dale w under sentence of ninety days in the penal farm for contempt of court and the Indiana supreme court recently held that “proof is no defense.” He is planning with the assistance of the Chicago agencies to lake his case to the supreme, court of the United States. Dale will keep on until he gets on the lecture platform Pennsylvania democrats believe they will elect their candidate, Mr. 1 Wilson, to the United States senate. Interesting If true for it hasn’t happened in forty-five years. Even when the republican party split in 1 two they were strong enough there to hold the state. However strange things are happening in polities these days and such a result would perhaps be no more impossible than it was for Kansas, California and other west1 ern state to line up as they did in 1 1916. Lightning did a lot of damage Sat--1 urday night when it caused th e ex- > plosion of a naval amunition depot near Dover, N. J., causing the death : of thirty-three people and doing dam age estimated at more than a hundred I million dollars. It was evidently the ‘ same storm which passed over this ’ section the day previous but seemed ’ to gain in force as it neared the Atlantic coast. I ■ l " 111 - " r Mr. AValb. the republican state i chairman announces the organization i of a club ota "hundred thousand work- !■. ers for Watson.” Perhaps he got his I clue from some of those Pennsylvania > politicians. At the same rate how- . ever it will require a good many mils lion dollars and the finance coinmitl tec will first have to get busy.

SUM MER Bees are in the blossoms, Yot some ire blind to beauty Birds are on the wing. And some are deaf to song Rosea climb, and summertime Th** troubled brow is heard to vow Is kissing every thing. That all the world is wrong. Little pansy faces And some display their sorrow. Wink and smile at me. And some bewail their woe And far and near there's not a tear Ami some men sigh that love must die That human eye can see. And summertime must go. There's beauty in the garden Yet sonic there are who blossom There's beauty in the sky. Like roses in the sun The stately phlox and houyhocks Who dare to climb in summertime Have put their sorrow’s by. When all their care is done. The gentle breath of summer They hide 'neath smiles of beauty Has blown the cares away; The sorrows they have borne. All nature sings, for morning brings They seem content that God hath sent Another lovely day. Another lovely morn. • (Copyright l»2b Edgar A. Guest - .. '. —-

20 Years of Stomach and Kidney Trouble Trouble All Gone Now?* Backache Quit. Eats Anything. k " "I suffered with stomach trouble for twenty years. I was bloated and ’ at times I felt as if there was a rock : lying in the pit of my stomach. My kidneys were weak and I had to get up several times during the night. My back ached all the time. Nothing I ate did me any good, and I tried different medicines without improving. Then a friend told me to try Viuna, The first bottle made me feel better and so I kept right on. When I started in I only weighed 145 pounds; now I weigh 157 pounds, a gain of 12 pounds, and I feel fine. Don’t have iany trouble with my stomach any ( morc and can sit down to the table and eat a good hearty meal without one bit of fear. I don’t have any trouble)with my kidneys and back, either.wAll the pains have gone. _• My constipation is entirely gone,’and I want to say Viuna did it all.”—Chas.-LAScott? 839 East Maryland StJlndianapolis, Ind.
