Sclieerer, Inc., 35 East Wecker Drive Chicago 300 Fifth Avenue, New York STATE ROADS:— Plans to add 811 miles of highways in Indiana to the system over which the state highway commission has supervision marks another step in tne logical development of the commission's program. Definite action has not yet been taken, but mem bers of the commission are considering every section of the state without favoritism and without prejudice. What the commissioners have in mind is serving the greatest number of persons. When the proposed additions are made the state will have the maximum mileage permitted under the federal aid system. This, of course, does not prevent the addition of other roads at a later period, but it means that subsequent additions will be made without federal aid unless some change is made in the Jaw. A study of the roads under consideration shows that every portion of the state will be benefited. Mostly the effort has been to use roads included in the program as connecting links between routes tha l now are under state control. There is a conflict of opinion about some of these links and local differences will have to be adjusted before final steps are taken. The addition of so many miles of roads does not mean that these highways will be paved at once. There are many tinpaved roads nowin the state system. It means state supervision and patrol. The roads will tie marked in the same manner as the other state routes and will be maintained by the highway commission. It also means that when many of tm se roads will be hard surfaced. Completion of the proposed program will give Indiana 5,040 miles under state supervision and this ranks well with any of the other states. Without interference, the highway commission ought to be able to work out a program that will be satisfactory to all parts of Indiana.—lndianapolis News. Dick Whittemore, 25, head of one of the most successful bandit gangs which ever operated in this country was hanged this morning in the Baltimore prison after being convicted for killing a prison guard last March, Whittemore was smart, had unusual courage and a record of crime that was never made public in detail. Il is known that his gang acquired several hundred thousaif.i dollars in loot and several murders were charged to them. Whjttemore with his brains could have made good in most any endeavor but he chose a career which took him to the gallows when a young man. a lesson for those who think they can beat the game. The wages of sin is death. Dates for the Northern Indiana Fair are September first to fourth and Arrangements are now being completed for a program that will please those who attend. Among th e features which it is believed will be unusually attractive and are always of greatest interest will be the automomile show and the merchants and manufacturers tent. Beginning next Monday a campaign of advertising will be put on and it is expected that the crowds will be record breakers. Any interest manifested by the

home folks will add to thu success r of the •fair. Senator Jim Watson winks at President Coolidge and then proceed* to split with him In a speech in IlliP . note. That lias been Jim's tactics r. ever since he entered politics some forty years ago. Ho has the happy r. faculty of riding two horses going in the opposite direction at the same time. * He can appease the wets and • drys, the klan and the anti-klan, the 0 farmer who believes in the Haugen- ■’ IMcNxry bill and those who don't. It's i i just a question of whether h e can ’ Continue to do this and still have j t ie confidence of the people. Taxes in Indiana this year totaled $53,001),000 as compared to $8.000,000' the last year of the Ralston adminis-t tratten. Do you wonder that Gover-1 nor Jackson has been able to pay Hie state debt and leave a balance oil $16,000,000' in the treasury? Os course he didn't pay it. You did. Do you think it was good government to make you pay so excessively during the past two or three years when al dollar looked like a' cart wheel to the average man who has been try-II ing to make ends meet? ’ I The frequent rains recently have I r.»i-ol .hi increase in the weed crop II and unless you keep after them they I will blossom just at the time when I many folks are suffering from their 1 annual attack of hay fever.
