Better lose a few minutes and save injury to yourself and the occupants of your car. By a vote of more than two to one, the Indiana house of representatives went on record as opposed to any weakening of the Wright "bone dry”) bill, and signified that they intend make its teeth sharper. And this in direct opposition to a campaign of months by th e Fort Wayne NewsSentinel and other republican newspapers of the state. Now what do you make of such actions as that? it is claimed that 235,000 automobiles in Indiana with a combined valuation of |S1.30t),00l) escaped taxation. It seems impossible with all the agencies we have to ferret oilt such matters and if true certainly should require some change in the present laws. Mr. Johnson, of Fort Wayne, • is urging the bill providing for the issuance of licenses from the county iiuditor's office. It seems wise. • m,..——... . I Thirty Decatur merchants and bus- t iness men appealed to you in a page < display last evening for Decatur fel- j lowship, a cheery good morning, a t real smile, for good will, loyalty and 1 cooperation. It is not much to give f but it means so much. These men i will talk to you with similar messages s once a month during the year. Read i them and follow their suggestions and j • his will really be a <ity of content- < ment and friendliness. Decatur , should be "first, last and always” for those who make this their home and . who believe in the future. , We regret that the matter of secur- , ing easements on the Monroe road have reached the point where the state will file condemnation proceedings, but it seems there is nothing else to bo done if they wish to proceed with the work. It looks like fuss and worry for small returns but the commission takes the position that they cannot stop progress because a few citizens do not agree with their policies. It is to be hoped that the matter can be speedily adjusted in coutt and the work proceed in the early spring as has been planned. So bitter has the feeling become against the public service commission that a monster meeting of citizens of the slate has been called. It will be held in Tomlinson's hall at Indianapolis Friday night of this week and Edgar Bush, former lieutenant governor will be the headline speaker. The commission idea as originally planned was for a good purpose but it is claimed that it is now so controlled that the people are not benefittlng and that a change must come. It looks lik L . the biggest thing in the present session of the general assembly and is apparently getting bigger. Following the revivals in many of the local churches and the interest manifested it is expected that the enrollment of students for the second semester of the Community Training School, opening Monday evening, will exceed any held before. The first semester tins year was a recordbreaker aud those who are In a position to know say that th e results arc

I felt in many ways in the churches 1 The idea is to provide trained leadership in the work and the classes arc very interesting. Those who expect to enter are asked to report early Monday night for enrollment. Os course if the Decatur Industrial Association does not intend to hold I meetings more frequently than they I have been It Is needless and foolish to maintain the present Quarters or others suitable, but it does seem that with a little effort there could be enough interest to make not only possible but necessary the continuance of quarters. There are many activities that could be profitably engaged in by such an organization and are in other cities. Don't let the association go to pieces for the time will come when it will be a very helpful and needful one. Think it over serious!) before the annual meeting neX month. The Daily Democrat has started t I campaign to increase its circulatioi to four thousand, a big undertaking, and one that can only be put over b) the cooperation of all interested. li -you are a citizen of Adams county you will want your home paper to bt the best in every way, if you are t user of advertising space you wil realize the benefits which come Iron a larger circulation, if you are a read I er of the paper you will profit becaust of the increased interest. The way to help us do it, is to renew at onci and to urge your neighbors to sut scribe. Needless to say we appreciat the loyal support already given u and any help in this important cam paign, marking the close of ou twenty-fifth year in the daily field. A petition has been sent to th state highway commission askin that the route of state and federt road number twenty-seven be change so as to come east on Adams an then north on Second instead dt nort on Fifth as now routed. This woul bring the traveler through the mai part of the city and means during th enurse of a few years a large sum c business they would otherwise nc receive, Those who have traveled it cars know that it Is quite natural tc stop for lunch, cigars, sodas and othe: articles when they see an attractivs looking place and it seems but little for the commission to grant since i is the desire of the people here. Th, state men are now marking the high way with the new federal signs am it will be more difficult to secure s change -Iter those are up, this th* reason for the petition at this time. ■ o ++++♦♦+*+♦*♦♦♦♦« ♦ BIG FEATURES * ♦ OF RADIO * Friday's Five Best Radio Features Copqright 1927 United Press Central Standard Time WEAK and WJZ—(27 station hookup: Act from Verdis “11 Travator' Chicago Civic Opera company.

e By Walter A. Shead y Written for the Daily Democrat P Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 27—The wel and dry question, smouldering fol I several days, came to a head in the 1 Indiana House of Representatives 1 Wednesday, the dry element coming off victorious In the tilt over amend--1 ment to the Wright Bone dry law by • a vote of 65 to 30. The fight came over an amendment offered by Representative Scott, of Lake county, which the drys claimed weakened the search anil seizure ecions of tho law. After a bitter lebate, in which flighs of oratory were Indulged in upon botli sides angled the speaker in a parliainent- , try knot, the vive voce vote was aken with the wets louder in their ■oars of “aye” than the drys. It was lecessary to take a roll call vote. Coincident with the dry victory, hich Is one of the first of a numberof meiulments to the dry law, comes he announcement from E. S. Shuniakier, Superintendent of the Indina Anti-saloon league, that the ■ague will sponsor a primary meaure as a counter measure tw the bill ow pending in the senate which ould seek to repeal the state-wide eatures of the primary law. Dr. Shumaker said his bill would provide or all state offices to be nominated n the primary and would obviate any tecessity of a state cocrentloa by redacting the proristotis of the old 915 primary hv by calling for first nd second ctxw-e voces.

The meaure would district the state into five districts and provide for the elecion of commissioners to the public ervice commission starting with the ’eneral election in 1928. The gover>or would appoint commissioners to mrve until the new commissioners ire elected under the bill. The measure would provide that di corporations or holding companies\■Bsociations or individuals which own ir control more than fifty percent of, ‘he slock in any utility shall be j leemed a public utility and subject o the regulation of the commission. Appeal from the rulings of the com-’ mission is made to the circuit court..

I commission. These objectionable features are ■t not present, it is pointed out in the r Democratic measure which is being e sponsored by Senator Carl Gray, of Petersburg, in which the state is s | districted into six districts, the them--8 hers, three Democrats and three ReI- ipultlicans appointed by the governor, y subject to ratification by the state j senate. Appeal in this bill, also lies t in the circuit court. f, One of the features of the day was i- a warm debate in the Judiciary B e Committee in the House over the r Murden Klan measure which would v eliminate graduates of parochial i schools as teachers in high schools. ■ Murden denied that the measure was s backed by the ku klux klan, and said r it was merely a move to provide the 1 same qualifications for graduates of I parochial schools as graduates of . high schools. | The Senate after a long and bitter i debate killed the bill providing for, - legalization of boxing and creation of a sta'e boxing commission. The mea- ■ sure was killed on a minority report from the committee by Senator Andrew Durham, of Greencastle. Democratic floor leader. Senator Durham won a second victory at the morning session when his minority reportcalling for passage of a bill allowing children over fourteen years of age and under sixteen years to drive an automobile to and from school. The report was adopted by a vote of 29 to 15. The measure occasioned bitter debate, and was opposed by senators from urban districts. Great plans are being made for tho rigantic mass meeting of citizens and delegations ftom various cities to be held at Tomlinson hall in Indianapolis in opposition to the Public Service Commission Friday night. Delegations frotn a score of cities have expreyed their intention of attending the meeting. One of the hottest fights this ses- >• n has been over the establishment of a criminal court at Evansville. The measure passed the House and the Senate committee on the organization of courts have held two public hearings on the measure. Delegations representing business, industrial and civic interests of Evansville, including the churches are opposed to the measure. Herbert Males,' mayor and Vanderburg county chairman Wednesday enlisted the aid of Clyde A. Wall), state chairman to have l.he bill passed in the Senate. While Wal-b, it is said, asserted that .he would help out Males, who is be-1 hind the measure, he did not appear ■at the committee hearing. Lieutenant Governor Van Orman, of Evans-1 ville, refused to make a statement at | the meeting although it is understood f'.om reliable sources that Van Orman is using his influence with his senate committee to have the measure killed. The bill assumed a political significance, marking the parting of the

ways between Waite and Van Orman, l>oth of whom are candidates for the governorship. It is (predicted > that tho committee will kill the mea- ' sure. The bill is a result of rival po lltlcal factions in Evansville in which '■ Judge Charles P. Bock, of the Van derburg circuit court is the vortex. Bock cannot be handled by the politicians and they are taking this meth od of removing h'm from criminal jurisdiction. o — Teachers’ "Tenure” Bill To Be Introduced Soon e By the United Press ( e Indianapolis.
