If the advance notices being sent out to republican , papers by their publicity bureau are to be believed, comedy will not be lacking. They promise that Senators Watson and Robinson, with a wellpaid supporting cast of voluble orzturs, will play one-night stands In rural Indiana. The chief object of this tour will be to convince the farmer that the Fordney-McCumber tariff , act has increased the purchasing 1 power of tlie farmer’s dollfir. \V e are waiting, with considerable eagerness ! for this illuminating performance. j Upon learning of this promised pleasure we took the trouble to refresh otlr memory on the subject of the farmer’s dollar and its purchasing 1 power. Using the official government ( reports, prepared by a republican administration, as our authority, we discovered that the two senators are assuming a heavy burden. For this republican report will lie hard for a republican to impeach. While it ’s true that both tlie senators have not found it difficult to disown the president and his policies, it is going to be muph mote difficult to make the public think that a republican department has published false figures on such an important political subject. | It m i !••■ tr ie that President Coolidge wou!*i * to see Senators Watson and K ason retired, but there are other republicans seeking office iiii % ’ !l, pi '-'id U’ s hearty support. And a departmental I publication circulates all over the country. This report assumes t lie year 1313 to 1,.- norma-, . *d ‘.''at, in that year,l the farmer’s dollar was worth 1001 thpp jjyv j dollar's worth o? woolen s clothing. In the year that the Ford ! ney-McCumber tariff was drawn the farmer’s dollar was worth 97 cents. He could get 97 cents worth of woolen clothing with it. But by 1925 the farmer’s dollar was only worth 01 cents, and he could only buy 61 cents worth of woolen clothing with it. Tile Fordney-McCumber tariff has been in effect five years, and the farmer’s dollar has depreciated 30 cents in that time. At that rate, if the present tariff continues, the farmer’s dollar will be worthless by 1936. The farmers of Indiana will certainly be highly entertained and cheered by the two seniors. In the coming election you will be staked to vote “yes” or “no" on four amendments to the state constitution and you should inform yourself on these proposed amendments. One of them is for a state income tax, another for the classification of couutie:, townships, cities and town for registration of voters, on e for apportionment of senators and representatives on the basis of the vote for secretary of state and still another is to provide that terms and salaries of public officers Cannot b e extended or increased during the term of office. One or two of those seem to have merit and one or two certainly ought to be defeated. Since it a majority of the entire vote cast to carry them it will be necessary to vote intelligently and m a non-partisam way to secure their adoption. We should study, the proposed amendments aud vote as we deem best for

the general good of the great state or Indiana and her people. A Decatur visitor told us yesterday ! that he considered this one of the best towns of its silo in the country and he-is a rat.’.t who has traveled over many slates and ho Is right but ilet's not be satisfied for we can con- j tinue to improve it and to make every one who visits here wish they j could live in this. community. A I couple of new Industries would put ; us over in a dandy way if we could I secure them and we believe with i proper effort it can be done. The next two months will be busy ones for those who engage in politics and for those who take the interest j every good citizen should take. The j campaign in this and every county in the state has started and will soon lie going briskly along. The next month will be devoted largely to orI ganization work and October to a speaking campaign which will reach . every citizen who desires to be readied. Vacation days over, school begins, court convenes, the activities of the autumn season are at hand. Its time for every one, young and old to “buckle” in and make things count. Its fine to play and its great to take a vacation and forget the hum drum of effort but after all its splendid to know also that we must produce, so lets all go at it with smiles and determination to win. Why not a dollar day to start the fall business off with a bang? It doesn't take much effort, it doesn’t re- ! quire a great expense and it means jso much to show the public we ar£ .“up on our toes" and alive. If a few .merchants will mention the fact they 'are for it, the event will come along nice!-.' m JEfc next comes football and other sports j which occupy thr. minds of those seek iing entertainment aud from all indications at this time, there will be plenty to keep you well occupied. ++++++*+++++♦*++ * BIG FEATURES * + of RADIO* + + +++++*+++++++♦++ TUESDAY'S RADIO FEATURES (Copyright 1926 by United Press) WEAK—Hook-up —7 p. m. — Everready Hour.

Woman SuiTrage Is Six Years Old; Leaders Proud of Achievements. By Julian M. Snyder (U. P. Staff Correspondent l Washington. D. C„ Sept. 7—(United Press.) — Leaders' of women's organiiitilons celebrating the sixth aunt-j versity of the enfranchisement of: women in this country today pointed< with pride to their political achievements during the last six years, ap- j pealed to women throughout Hie nation to join in tiie movement for greater equality with men and warned the nation tlttft women now have the power to institute a “political house dfeanlng.” Although the end of six years of enfranchisement finds the women divided into at least two major-camps —the League of Women Voters and the Woman's Party—both sides view with pride the achievements of, women in the political arena. Summed up. these achievements t are: Women in legislatures in 36 states, total—l 33. Two women governors f— Nellie Russ, Wyoming, "Ma" Ferguson. Texas. Half a dozen women in congress. A woman on the Supreme Court bench in Qhlo. Numerous women mayors. Miss Belle Slierwiu, president of the National League el Women \ olers. in a statement written for the United Press today, suid: “Tlie most significant result of six years of woman suffrage is the woman voter’s contribution to the open mind in politics. Woman's entrance into the political field also has created a new conception of what to vote for. it has become a political habit for them to study candidates of all parties, tlie merits of all campaign issues and the election laws themselves. “The first six years of woman suffrage mark no new era in deflate results at the polls, because of the woman vote. But here and ther e where women have taken the leading part In local elections, the,result has been a political house cleaning.” The League of Women Voters has no national membership list hut the total membership is estimated at about 1,000,000. The League claims among its achievements an increased woman vote and the adoption of the world court resolution. The Woman's Parly, smaller, more militant anti radical, is at odds with the League over the question of “equal rights in industry.' The Woman's Party, which has a membership of 25,000, wants no legal discriminations in industry favorable to women because it argues such laws “legis-

"We favor a woman for pre'-ldetit. At least half the cabj inet should be women. We should ! like to have an equal number of they laud women itj congress.” The Woman’s Party, through Sen jutor Curtis. Rep.. Kan., lias introduced an amendment to the Constitution reading: “Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States aud every place subject to its jut is diction." lu their war against discriminatory legislation members of the Woman s Party have investigated all the laws of every state in the Union and claim to have drafted 506 bills, subsequently passed by the various states. “By the passage of these bills. 60 points in the equal rights campaign, effecting the lives of 26,000,000 worn en, have been won.” tlie party claims Tlie treasurer’s report shows the Woman’s Party has spent $1,263,53419 to further the cause of woman s rights since 1912. For the suffrage campaign during which more than 100 of "their members were imprisoned for picketing ami militant tactics, $798,053.19 was expended. in the equal rights campaign up to May 1. |?2C, the party spent $443 408 94. ’ Both the League of Women Voters and the Woman's Party already have begun their campaigns for the fall elections. The league in addition to its “get-out the-vote” campaign will support a program of “law enforcement” —generally taken to mean enforcement of prohibition —aud the direct primary system. The Woman's Party has launched an "elect-women-to-Uougress cant paign ami will seek the support of its proposed equal right amendment. Jap Naval Air Force Denied New Increase Tokyo (United Press) —Japan’s pro posed naval air force must give way in order to allow the auxiliary warship construction program to proceed, ac cording to decision of Admiral Takeshi Takearabe, Minister of the Navy It had been expected that the air force would be increased to two corps a it a half, instead of which it is to be lef: at one corps and a half, thus affording a saving of about $900,000. Naval authorities are annoyed a the retrenchment policy of the Waka tsuki Cabinet, which caused postpov ment of their program at the Idkt Die session, and intend to put up a stroni fight for more money at the approach ing session.
