New York ’ The weather forecast has been so contrary this winter that most folks read it and then prepare for the opposite. If the five weeks are no worse than the ft-t one of the groundhog s guess, we will be satisfied. This was a glorious February day. We favor peace but we don't see what good these conferences of representatives of nations do. There is sure to be something that can’t be agreed to without reservations. "Indiana legislature has made good record — pass five bills during first half of the session." You bet, that's fine. Pass five more and quit. It will saxQ, a lot of money. President Coolidge is asking lor a ■ limitation of cruisers, destroyers and submarines in a proposal to the gov- . ernments of Great Britain, France, ' Italy and Japan. My goodness, do you suppose he wants to destroy those three new battleships before they are * built? * They are seriously considering enactment of a law in Kansas, provid- ' Ing that a young couple when applying for a man iage license must show that they have SI,OOO. That may be good but it would have barred most of us who some how or another have managed to get by. Thomas Edison, one of America’s greatest citizens is eighty years old * today. More than a thousand patents have been granted him and he has devoted his life to the services ofc providing things which will make it easier for millions now and in the generations to come to enjoy life. His , has been a great life. During the first four weeks of this year there were 473 deaths in seventyeight of the larger cities of the United States. Most of these accidents ' occurred within the corporate limits of the cities. This number compares with 431 deaths over the same period and in the same cities last year, a record however which ought to be going the other way. New York furnished 100 and Chicago 65. » ••■■■ 11 " rl " The trouble with these bills to force the reading of ‘he Bible in school is < that they are so often offered not be- ‘ cause of the desire to encourage study of lite Great Book but because of a desire to force ideas on others which they know will not be acceptable. Making people <lo things they don't want to do or don't believe in doing is a different thing. Forcing people to be good by laws is also next to the impossible. A nuthber of leading attorneys over the state have declared that the proposed farm relief tux bill in Indiana is unconstitutional and could not possible stand if enacted and approved by the governor, its quite likely those who prepared it knew it and that they are simply preparing some more “apple sauce" for the next campaign. They think they can just keep oo putting this kind of propaganda over on, the farmers. Fifteen million dollars is a 10l of Ynoney and when it must come from the pockets of the tax payers of Indiana. if it comes, it seems that"they ought to know just wba! is to be done kvith it. Just to call it a building

Fund would appear to be a rather broad 1 Wnd uncertain description. Indiana colleges are asking that amount anjl urging a thrce-ccnt tux levy for ten years to cover it. Don't overlook the fact too that long before that ten years is up there will be more de--1 mantis. We're strong for education and w ( . are also strong for good common sense in appropriations. ! Did you ever hear of a more durJ ing, an uglier or a more vicious , political attempted frame-up than that ' against the state highway comrnis- , sion members, John D. Williams and Earl Crawford? When they could not be dislodged by the Stephenson crowd, they were indicted on fake charges. All efforts to ifecure a trial that they might vindicate themselves failed and now the case has been dismissed because there is no evidence. The men who aided in securing such an indictment ought to be roughtly handled by the courts. If Governor Jackson wants a fine muddle, one of the biggest scrambles ever cooked up in Indiana, let him permit the passage of the tax bill which recently slid through the senate as though it was greased. It contains so many "jokers" favorable to wealth that the farmers would awaken long before the next election with the knowledge that they had been trimmed slick and clean. If you have read it we don't understand how any body, city or country, could favor it, excepting a few millionaire corporations. More than a hundred people, honestly, earnestly and sincerely interested in the continued growth, prosperity and advancement of Decatur will meet Monday night when the annual banquet and election of directors for the -Decatur Industrial Association will be held.

' Bill For George Rodgers » Clark Memorial Favored e—.. n Senate Committee On Finance Reports Favorably On Bill Providing For Memorial On Site of Fort SackII ville, At Vincennes; Leslie And Van Orman Now Hold Leadership Os G.O.P. In Legislature; Motion To Reconsider Vote On Farm Tax Bill Defeated; Another Utility Measure Passed In Senate.

By Walter A. Shead ■J 1 Written for the Daily Democrat) Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 11 —The Republican state committee which has t demonstrated its lack of leadership or ability to "crack the whip" during i the Seventy-filth general session of I the Indiana State Legislature, was again defeated in the state senate Friday when the senate committee on finance reported favorably ami without amendment the measure providing i for the George Rogers Clark memorial on the site of Fort Sackville at Vincennes. ® Members of the state committee Including Clyde A. Walb, state chairman. Ewing Emison. Vincennes, chair- ’ man of the second district; Lawrence 1 Cartwright, Eighth district chairman I of the second district; Lawrence Cartwright, Eighth district chairman am l Harry Folltou, secretary have been active about the memorial bill, both in I the House and Senate. It is understood tile committee sought to threw the establishment of the memorial commission ino politics by seeking an amendment providing that the Governor appoint the commissioners directly. In other words, the state committecsought to “pack" the memorial commission. Although in Indianapolis presumably on the primary ’till Emison is known to have been active in the G. O. P. machine effort to get their amendment into the measure. Their last chance is now to amend the measure when it comes up on second reading in the t mate. The measure wculd provide the eltn commlss'oners who shall I e uom inated by the various lA-t trical so cieties throughout the state; shall be appointed by the Governor. This would take the commission entirely out of

politics and appoint only members who are interested in the historical value of the memorial to tne state. The measure would further provide for a halfcent appropriation for two years which, would amount! to JitthOOO. Tucsite on the memorial is approximately 12 acres and the fedtwi government is being asked to appropriate $1,750,000 for the memorial. This appropriation is now before congress. There is a vast amount of contract work connected with the memorial and it is fur this reason, according to these interested that the G. O. I’. leaders seek to retain ccntrol of the commits-, siunw which will let contracts for construction amounting to more than The measure passed the house by a unanimous vote and is now ready for second leading in the senate. Thus far the efforts of the G. O. I’. machine has heeu impotent, not only in so far as the memorial commission is concerned, but in other matters. L. A. I’ittinger, of Selma, Republican floor leader has been rendered ‘valueless" to the state committee in the House, for it is now the general opinion that whatever I’ittinger touches will be regarded with suspicion by the members of the lower body. Pittingers impotency was caused by his sponsoring of the "derail” utility bill which was proven later to the brain child of the utility lobbyists and written by Arthur L. Gilliom, attorney general. Thus far in this session, I’ittinger, Gilliom. Walb, Cartwright, Coffin, Jackson, and several others Have been discredited in so far as party politics is concerned. I’lie leadership of the G. O. I’. now lies in the hands of Harry Leslie speaker of the House and Lieutenant Governor F. Harold Van. Orman. An attempt was made Friday to bring back the farm tax bill which passed in the senate by a vote of 37 to 11 caused such a furore. There was a long parliamentary tangle to the question, but it v. aft finally decided that the motion to reconsider the vote was out of order as he bill had already gone to the House. It’s fate now lies in the lower body. Students of taxation, while approving the theory and some sections of Ihe measure arc fearful that it will not work as a practical measure and fear that its passage will result in a col- : lapse of the entire tax system of the state. The farm leaders, however, seem willing to put the theory to the test on the predication that nolliing will be worse than the present tax system, in ' so far as the farmer is concerned. Democrats have as yet agreed on ■ no definite program in so far as the 1 utility question, which with the tax solution continues to be the most important issues before the two houses

of thelegialature. Another utility measure was passed • by the senate when the Nejdl measure c which would provide for appeals to , the circuit or superior courts from rulings of the public service commission was passed by a vote of 45 to 2. The pleasure is the same one that failed ' to pass for lack of a constitutional majority when introduced by Senator i Curtis A Shake (Dem Daviess and • Knox. I The provisions were the same : and it will be remembered that I Shake's bill had 29 votes for it when Nejdl passed the wotd around to ehang their votes. Five c hanged making the vole 25 to 19. The only difference was Nejdl s bill was a Republican measure and Shake's a democratic. Senator Shake as-erted that he was willing for the Republican party to elaipi all tile glory of passing the bill “for the members of the majority faction need all the glory they can claim for the party they represent," Shake, said. The Dickerman part time religious ■ training measure again failed to muster sufficient votes to pass, but the i enemies of the measure neither could ” mster enough strength to finally ..ill the measure as it still remains on third reading at the call of the author J A bitter debate took place when the measure was up for the second time: on third reading, opponents seeing in it an effort to mix “church and state” against, which (lie con.-tituticn of the state and nation is predicted. - i —o | Card of Thanks We wish in this manner to thank all our fiiends and neighbors, and all those who were so kind and assisted us in our recent becreavement.
