This brand of weather makes you think that spring is just round the corner. Eight weeks front next Sunday is I Easter so if you think this balmy weather is here to stay it is time to think of the new bonnet. One month remains for the person who is required to do it, to make out ami file his income tax report. The lina! date is March 15th. No one will object to this kind of weather ami while it looks like spring l you might step outside and take a' look at the garden plot. The farm sales now being held over i the county are attracting buyers and the price for live stock, farming ini-1 pleinente and the like has shown a * trend towards better values. Two concrete roads leading into file city from the west will add another couple miles to the fine road, system in this county and will give' Decatur a network of improved road ( approaches to the city. ; Sav 0 the roaibi as much as possible. I No one wants to stop traffic, but right now the roads are soft and can very easily be ruined. Don't overload (and protect the roads from abusive use. The Detatur industrial Association is not dead, as shown by the attendance of mor e than one luindred members at the meeting Monday night.' When it comes to showing a united spirit ami the willingness to do things ( our merchants anil manufactures, : * An example of the value of -newspaper advertising is shown in the recent absortion of one of the largest' stores in Detroit with a more pro- ’ gressive concern, which daily usedj columns of space in the newspapers there as against the policy of the concern which was absorbed and which used advertising only infrequently. About the meanest fellow we have (heard of is the one who after robbing a man at Monticello, set fire to his victim’s clothing and left him to burn to death. The man's clothing was saturated with gasoline and the bandit then set tire to it. It they catch that guy it might be well to give him a taste of his own medicine and the posse which is chasing him may do just that little thing. The lower house of congress has agreed in committee on the passage of the t McNary-llaugeu farm relief bill and the bill will come tip for action Thursday. The senate has passed the measure and indicalicms are that the house will pass it, which makes everyone wonder what President Coolidge will do when it is presented to him for final approval or rejection. The impression has been given out that Coolidge will veto it ami many are wondering if he’ll do it. The directors of the Decatur Industrial Association could create interest 1 in the association by having monthly luncheons, either in tlx: evenings or at noon. Through this means the members could be brought together and subjects of interest talked over and the suggestions of the I

members us how to help the com- [' niunity, the discussing pt problems now confronting the association could Tie brought up and we believe that u majority would like the monthly meetLugs. t The senate of the Indiana legislature late yesterday killed the Cann bill providing for the abolishment of the pulglc service commission. The i vote was 17 to 30 against thi mi rage J of the bill. It was one of the most ; important bHis presented in the legis- ) lature and the opponents and propon- [ ents of the measure fought bitterly I for their side. As matters stand now there yvill not be anything done wit It the regulating of the commission and the matter of appointing the members will still lie within the power of the governor. Senator James Reed, of Missouri, delivered the bey-note address at the annual meeting of tbe Indiana Democratic Editorial Association in session at Indianapolis last night. The gifted senator sisike in the regular I Jim Reed style and pleaded for party | unity and for the Jeffersonian brand of democracy. He cut lose and with his fiery tongue he called a spade a spade. One political writer commenting on his speech said, THs words fell upon those he styled ‘assassins of human liberty.' like the lashes of a cat-o’-nine-tails.” Do you read the timely messages I iff the three Decatur banks on saving? Each day the advertisements of these banking institutions give a suggestion or timely advice as why a person should save a certain per cent. ,of his or her earnings. The banks jdo this for the reason that thrift .makes a better comufunity and in the long run everyone, the individual the merchant, the farmer or the manufacturer receives the benefit. With three banks inviting you to call and - make use of their facilities and offer- ' ing their service in helping take care lot your savings or investments the ' public should find no trouble in feeling at home with any of the banking ' institutions in this city. You have to bartd it to the automobile manufactures as being the most aggressive,* progressive and up-to-date bunch in the country. With the approach of spring they begin to hit the ball, showing the beautiful new models, increasing their advertising appropriations and making the average person feel that he cannot 'afford to run the old model another 1 month'or that he should, have two "" " .. <~is' in Ihe in mil v. It is doubtful if tbe automobile business will reach the proportions of the volunnie ft did last year, but anyway I the high-powered executives are mak’ing the effort and last year it will be | remembered that they turned a slack year into one of the biggest in the history of the business. o > —— ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ + From the Daily Democrat File + ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. + ♦+++++♦+*♦♦+♦♦+♦ Fob. til— Miss Margaret Mills wins prize from Record-Herald and receives check for $72.91.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10,

Party Vote Kills Cann Utility Measure Republicans Again Refuse To Accept Challenge; Defeat Os Moorehead Bill Expected Today; Senator Ketchum. Os Greensburg, Makes Outstanding Speech For Cann Bill; Crowded Galleries Cheer Speeches Favoring Cann Measure. ,

By Walter A. Shead (Written for the Daily Democrat) Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 16—By a vote of 30 to 17, almost a strict party vote, the Indiana State Senate of the Seven-ty-fifth general assembly defeated the Cann public service •itilily measure which would have abolished the Indiana Public Service Commission. The vote on the measure was predicted by this witter some days ago, the question being merely another instance of Hie Democrats, aided by six recalcitrant Republicans, putting the challenge up to the Republican majority to clean their own house, and the Republicans refusing to accept the responsibility. The same treatment, it is predicted will happen to the Moorhead remedial measure when It comes up for third reading Wednesday. Three Democrats, Koenig of Fort Wayne, Market of Elkhart and Gray of Petersburg, Jumped the Democratic traces and voted with the Republican majority. Senator Carl Gray, of Petersburg one .of the promising young senators on the minority side, killed himself with his colleagues and his party by voting against the Cann Bill, lu so doing Senator Gray lends credence to the unverified report that he will get one of the Democratic appointments on the commission when the terms of the two Democratic members, Jones ami Wampler expire. Senator Gray was all pr imed with a speech against the Cann bill, but was kept in his seat by the wiley strategy e Senator Joseph ('. Cravens, of Madison. Senator Cravens, at the end cf hrs speech for the Can bill, asserted that he would yield to one of the younger members bf the minority side who toid him when he first came to the sesion Hurt lie would die if he did'nt get a chance to talk for the Cann bill' The members of the senate, of course, knew that Senator Cravens referred U> the younger senator Gray arid Gray could not take the floor in Lire face oi such a chalfepge. Republicans who voted with pre Democrats for the bill were: Johnson of Atlanta; Kline of Huntington; Moorhead and Guillin of Indianapolis; Nottingham of Marion and Senator Cann, author of the bill. Senator Koenig, Democratic Senate ■ from Fort Wayne, has jumped the Democratic reservation on every question of any importance and his vote was not counted on. He is apparently controlled by Senator O'Rrourke, senior senator from Fort Wayne, who admitted that “be was closer to tbe ulililies (iiitr amy many in Indiana.' With the defeat of the Moorhead measure, which is expected without doubt on Wednesday, the utilities will have flone just -is expected ami the Republican Senate will have done just as expected by failing to do nothing with the utility Uiw other than provide tor an appeal to the Circuit or superior court, which is already possible under the present Law. The lie. of the utility battles is then, that the legislature has done nothing at all o relieve the people either of the personnel of the present commission nor the present utility law. Senator Anderson Ketchum of Greensburg, a Democrat, probably

Lost His Rheumatism and Stomach Trouble Says He Never Has a Bit of It Now. Suffered for 30 Years. "I had stomach trouble for 30 years. My stomach would bloat and cramp. The gas would crowd back my heart, and the pains were awful. My appetite was poor and I had to watch what I ate all the time. I also had rheumatism in my right leg below the knee, and my ankle swelled up so I could hardly walk. Nothing I would take did me any good. Then I heard of Viuna and bought a bottle, and right from the first I felt better. Now I feel fine. My stomach trouble is all gone. No gas, none of that bloating, and I can cat anything and plenty of it. My rheumatism is gone, doesn’t pain or swell at all, and my leg is as good as it ever was. My weight was formerly 140 pounds, and now I weigh 157 pounds, a gain of 17 pounds. I Jay my present state of good health to Viuna.”—Harvey Knox, Route 2, Gaston, Ind.

made the outstanding speech on the 1'loor" of the Senate in which he proclaimed the Democratic stand on the meusuie. The Republican senators were merely the dictation of tile utilities given them through their party bosses. Senator Ketchum asserted that while the Spencer Sliiverly act was passed under a Democratic administration, tile Democrats hud had little, to do wit 11 tlie administration of the law since and that tbe board had accumulated power and authority far beyond any ever intended in the original draft of the law.'He spiked the argument that there were two Democrats on the public service commission by denying there was a drop of Democratic blood id any member of the present commission. This denial of them by their party is a bitter indictment for Frank Warn-

pier and Clyde Jonea. so-called Democratic HpjKjintoe* to ibe public »ervi« oommlsßl<A whcnWie thundered the question ofiiow could the menibers of the Republican party clean house in the public service commission when the commission was totally devoid of public support and when the Governor of the state stood squarely behind the actions of the commission. The debate on the, measure was the mo,st bitter of the session, and occupied the entire day Tuesday, no other measure being considered. With the exception of Senator Johnson and Kline, the entire farm bloc, which has been pleading for remedy of farmer ills, cast their own interests aside and voted against the bill at tlie dictation of the Republican party chieftains, speaking through the utilities. Friends of Senator Alonzo Lindley, of Kingman, leader of the farm bloc were outspoken in their disappointment In his vote against the measure when the farm bloc is asking for so much and giving so little. A flock of amendments are scheduled to be thrown against the Moorhead measure, but It is predicted that the bill will receive little more , sup port than that offered the Cann measure. The galleries and the floor and lobbies of the senate chamber were

filled to capacity during the debate on the Cann bill, the largest crowd 0( the session being in evidence. At every speech of those for the Cann bill applause and cheers rang out, giving the senate an indication cf how the people of the state felt toward the commission. In deed it was stated on the floor by more than one speaker than from 8« to 99 per cent of the people were for the repeal of tbe measure, inspite of this, however, the Republican majority was responsible to its bosses and not to the people.
