"Assembly back for hard work” says a headline in the Fort WayneNews last evening, referring we presume to their strenuous efforts to secure a ten-dollar a day wage. It may be hard for the legislators to struggle along on a six-dollar a day salary, but thats the wage most of them expected when they consented to sacrifice their time and effort for the good of the public. Renew your subscription if it Is due. The Daily Democrat, better than ever this year, will cost you but three dollars by mail in the first or second zone. Yon can't afford to miss reading the news daily When the cost is less than a penny, can you? Dy tile way what has become of tile postoffice appointment for* D■catur? According to information sent out from Washington some six weeks ago it was to have been made early this month but somthing seems to have happened. If you don't get your 1927 license this week better the car in the garage until you get one for the ord- . ers from the secretary of state's of-j tice are to arrest all violators of the law and that will cost you considerably more titan your license. Allen county has more than a thousand delinquent tax payers; .lay 1 county has about nine hundred; Wells ' county has a large number and Adams ' county had but thirty-one who failed to meet the payments before the list 1 was p.ttb.'-sbfd - test. ...week the Ae-st. proof we. know of that th *s the best I, spot in the world. ' —■mM-finmi ■■ iim 11 twit n Senator Bruce declares that only ' three members of the United States ■ senate refuse a drink when it is offered and the mean old thing names those three right on*. They are Willis ami Fess of Ohio, and Shepherd, of Texas. All the others he declares , "vote dry and drink wet." And thats the answer to why prohibition is not enforced, if you really want to know it. The lonely man of Washington, according to reports, is Andrew Mellon, millionaire secretary of the treasury. You meet him on unfrequented streets, but never with a companion. He is never hurried, a thip, grey, spare man of many weary years with a face that seems always blank. He looks more like an elderly bookkeeper who is tired of the game than he does like the financier and statesman. Wonder what “kick", if any, he gets out of it all? Mrs. Nicholas Longworth who used to lie Miss Alice Roosevelt and who feei ins to have inherited her father's ability to get on the first pages has a new fad now, one which she guarantees will bring back the girlish figure to the woman of fifty but the trouble is so few can and will follow her. Each day Mrs. Longworth spends several minutes standing on her hctld hml it is said she can do it real gracefully. Towns along the Ohio river in Indiana. Ohio. Kentucky ami West Virginia are suffering from the midwinter floods. For the past week rains have fallen almost incessantly and the loss already is heavy. If thb

| ruins continue greut damage to propp erty is sure and there is danger of loss of life. Warnings have been sent out and hundreds of families in the lowlands adjacent to the river are moving out. t It is estimated that ten million people heard the strains of Gounod's immortal “Faust" as presented by the Chicago Civic Opera company last j Friday, this being the first national • broadcast of grand opera. From ; every corner of this country it is • claimed reports have come that the [ wonderful music was heard and i thoroughly enjoyed. It is expected that other demonstrations will be made during the next few weeks and that demand for this class of music by radio fans will grow. Washington writers are fearful that a special session of congress will have to be held to take care of farm relief measures, Muscle Shoals, the French debt and railway consolidations. Just why they can't go ahead and take care of these things now is not explained but then if the congressmen and senators would have to put in a few hours a day for 'a part of the summer they wouldn't be. any worse off than many of us who feel we ere fortunate if w» get a week or two off' in August. This is the open season for colds and statistics show that during the months of February, March and April almost every persorf in the United States, more than a hundred million, contracted them. Consequently whether you want to or not, you, should be advised that plenty of good air, exercise, warm clothing and care in eating are the best preventfCtiVes. ' And colds are serious for they are th e primary cause of many ailments such as pneumonia and tuberculosis. Avoid a cold if you can and fight the , first sign. The annual meeting of the Decatur Industrial Association will be or should be held soon and at tlris time there should be an effort made to injeej. more life into this very importwant part of the city’s organization. There are many things which such a body can perform to the advantage of every citizen and this is the time when those interested should be thinking seriously about it. Such an organization should not be a society but a business outfit with plenty of pep and energy. Come on boys, lets ' go.

Amendment To Cann Bill To Be Introduced r —„ ■>.—— Several Measures To Appear In Senate in Eflort lo Preserve Public Service Commission In One Form Or 1 Another; Present Personnel Os Board Under Fire; Several Bills Os Interest To Rural Counties Arc Introduced In House.

I Uy Walter A. Shead (Written for the Dally Democrat Indianapolis. Ind., Jan 25. —Senator Carl Gray (Democrat Gibson and Pike) will introduce an amendment to the Cann public service commission bill in the Indiana State Senate Tuesday, calling for striking out all the Cann measure except the enacting clause and substituting therefor his amend-, ment of six public service commissioners. three Democrats and three Republicans. appointed from six districts in the state and subject to ratification by the state senate. This measure is one of several which it is believed will make appearance in the senate'in an etfott to preset ve the public service commission in one form or another. Senator’s Gray s measure would further provide that appeal couid be made to the Circuit court and the state supreme court from service commission rulings, taking appeal away from the Federal court, where it now lies under the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. Democrats have taken the stand that there must be something dene to rid the state of the personnel of the present utility commission and to curb the appointive power of the governor, as has been pointed out hy this writet in a .previous article, the Democrats will further a measure to executive appointments of the troxernot subject to ratification by the state senate. Although this method is more xless unwieldy, the Democrats take the position that in the long run it will save the state many more thousands of dollars than it will cost to call a special senate session. In connection with the Democratic effort tn curb the power of the Gove.nor, the address of John E. Frederick? of Kokomo, president of the stat” chamber of commerce find defeated Democratic nominee for United States Senator at the last primary was madh public today. "At no period in the history o f Ind iana has it been more apparent the’ the business and commercial interests of the state are vitally concerned in the kind of government we have," said Frederick. "The state chamber is now advocating an amendment to our tax laws which would limit public expenditures strictly to the sums sp< i’iec. in the biennial budget which is subject to remonstrance by the taxpayers. The money comes from the taxpayers and certainly no one will deny them a vote in its exponditme. Unless expemTn".- . • au actually be limited to the amount . . the taxpayers it is useless to pretend that our budget system is effective." Frederick said. In this connection, the biennial budget just issued by the governor provides for the annual expenditure oi approximately $24,008,000 during the next two years, while the actual expenditure Os the state will reach a figure estimated at $54,000,000 annually As an outgrowth of the sub-commn-tee on the rnral education committee named by the Governor to make an educational survey of the state recently, a measure which would provide that the state inheritance tax amount ing to approximately $1,200,00 be turned over to the common school fund, may be introduced in the senate. Senator H. Ly’-e Shank (Rep. of An-] gola) is Sponsor for the plan. 3 he inheritance tax now goes into the general fund, which according to financial men. is conti ary to aN rules of finance Senator Shank s plan would be to taut the inheritance tax lie undisturbed ever a period of years, using the inteiest for the maintenance of the state school system. In twenty-five years, accoiding to Senator Shank, the in come from the principal would run the state school system, obviating tlie necessity of a tax. Aiibther outgrowth of the sub-committee meeting which was held Monday, is the plan for-free text books. There is now a bill before the Senate sponsored by Senator John S. Alldredge of Anderson, which would provide for p: inting the-books in state institutions and fro free distribution. The committee recommendation, however, while not yet adopted, would provide lor free distribution. Irtit the state would retain copyright, and have the bocks printed by private concerns. The objection to the Alldredge bill v ould i be the’high expense in equipping the ‘ State schools and the clash with union printers, Which would be involved. I Several measures- of interest to rur‘'al counties have been introduced in , I the house. Amonfc them are the Mens denhall measure distributing the cos’ | of maintaining ditches among all laud-

owners within a watershed instead of . against abutting property owners; the r Murden bill providing that when a 1 county board of review agrees on as■.segments for taxation, the state tax 1 board cannot review the action except on petition of ten taxpayers; to amend , the aprdon board law to require that , before the Iward can make recommeni datlon to the Governor, the petition for pardon must have the signature of the prosecutor anti judge who tried the case; Holloway bill giving the township trustees jurisdiction over the dog fund, instead of the boards of county commissioners; Knapp bill, creating county board of education composed of township trustees, transferring powers mot held by trustees and advisory boards with regard to schools; Martindale, allowing county assessors $5 per day compensation during sessions of county boards of review, allowing county recorders to bite assistants and providing for their compensation. A mea nre regarded by some as a "shake down” bill .and by others as an economy measure was introduced in the House, Monday, which provides , ■ ed and operated cement mill at the Indiana state faim, the entire output of which is to lie med on state highways. According to some, the measure has tlie support of the Indiana Farm bureau federation and calls for an appropriation of $250,000 tar the curneat fiscal year and for one of $350,000 for the succeeding fiscal period to place the p'ant in operation. The output would be delivered to the highway commission at cort and convict labor would be'compensated at the rate of $1.50 per day under the terms of the bill. Tlie state farm now operates a brick factoiy and Stoue crusher, the output of which is’ taken by the high? way commission. o gONG.J There will be no meeting of the Rcy Scouts this evening, but the Scouts are requested to meet at the high school gymnasium at 6:30 o'clock Thursday evening.
