Tile next Job is to file your income tax report, another one which you had better not overlook. We have a lot of duties these days and the trouble is that if we "stub our toes” ' in any way it costs extra. AH records since 1930 were broken ' this year in Adams county on the sale of Christinas seals by the Anti-Tuber-culosis Society, a fine record and those in charge arc more than appreciative for this Interest. I "Daddy”' Browning has received over thirty thousand letters of sympathy during the past few days which l gives you some idea of how many , "squirrels” are running loose in this country. < I If the Indiana legislature doesn't pass any more acts during the second month than they did the first, most , everybody, excepting those expecting something special, will be happy. So far the total is two and one of those l was for their salaries. The Ford fortune grew to a half billion yesterday. We have been used ' to reading and hearing that he is worth a billion or near that, but now comes one Norval flawkins, a Detroit • accountant to testify that the noted flivver king is worth at least a half more than that and perhaps twice. We have been adding subscribers ! at the rate of a dozen a day for a 1 week past and we hope this average continues for a month. We are sure there are live hundred families in the ‘ ti<'l>! covered by thi i.q-v.r which will enjoy the home papei wnl» ~ cuimuua , of news of greatest interest. Tell , ypur friends about it. Thirteen members of the Purdue faculty have resigned during the present term, at which rate they may have to suspend, but they neglect to tell you that there ate a dozen applicants for each place. They are using this as an argument for a larger salary appropriation. This is granted in tin budget bill, but they don't seem to be satisfied. So far however, no strike has been threatened. A McNary-Haugen farm relief bill is being "juggled around” in congress ami may pass. It is however a long ways from being the original bill 1 offered under that name and its autl> ors are free to admit that it is being discussed with the idea of being used as a panacea in politics next year. Even Mr.Dawos is for it, which should convince most farmers that its not very serious. 1 The site' where stood the barn , which contained Mrs. O'Leary's fam- < ous cow which kicked the lantern < over and started the fire that destroyed tliat city, is to be immortalized, the council having decided to purchase the site and erect a memorial. Just why is not explained, but if its to benefit Mrs. O'Leary anil she be still alive, it would seem better to just buy her another cow. Does it pay to advertise a elty? Ill' 1925, Atlauia. Ga., spent $250,000 and increased the pay rolls by adding new' industries, $7,000,000. Then they raised a fund of a million dollars for advertising purposes and lust year secured new pay rolls of over $3,000,0110. Scarcely a merchant gav e a dollar that didn't return many times. It

| sure pays to keep your community ' and your business alive and when its slowest is the best time to lake action. By a strict‘party vote, 61 to 36, th L > Saunders resolution demanding u probe of Indiana affairs in general und the state house in particular, was defeated. We are not surprised, if the republican members bad intended to do tho job us they should have, they would hav e used their majority and looked after it themselves. They admit in many ways that conditions are the worst ever known in the stalo and that the graft and corruption would cause a lot of folks in the state to gasp, but they think it too serious to giv 0 to the public for four of a political revolution. The leaders feel that bad us It is, for political reasons, they must grin and bear it and hope for something better soon, it would have been much easier for the republicans who are in power in every office in the state house to have done the job, but they hav t . again declined to let the people in on the secrets. .Mr. Saunders gave them the chance and they have refused to Accept it, but just the same they are now on record and can answer buck home in the next election. The public has just had its attention called through the columns of tlie press to a very striking example of the injustice and absurdity of our present inheritance tax system. A wealthy Chicago lawyer died some months ago, and left a bequest of $2,300,000 to an Indiana university. Although this vast sum was generously bestowed upon a great institution of learning by the will of the . donor, yet the federal government and the various states stepped in and took $1,000,000 of the total, or almost 50 per cent, from the university through inheritance taxes. The state of Michigan levied a tax of $350,000. The federal government took a big slice. th t . state of Indiana imposed a high rate, and Illinois took its share. By the time the federal government and the various states got through, they hud consumed $1,000,000, so that the university received only $1,300,000 Instead of $2,300,000, as the de- , ceased intended it should receive. It is passing strange that our national ( state legislators will permit such a condition to go uncorrected. — Nashville Banner. jj +♦♦+♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ BIG FEATURES * + G7 RADIO ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ -Saturday’s Five Best Radio Features (Copyright, 1027, by United Press) Central Standard Time Throughout.
