Senator Reed says conditions were never as corrupt as they are now and he knows for investigating lias been Ins’busiuess largely for the past several years. Why will people continue to vote approval of such conditions year after year and grow poorer as they do it? The ultimate consumer pays the bills. Keep the Daily Democrat in your home. Its the best educator you can have for there is something of interest in it for every member of Vtie family and its cost is so slight that you cannot afford to miss an issue. We are closing our campaign and we hope you will renew before the time limit is up. Tv.o weeks more of the legislature and the record will have been written. Os course that includes the most dangerous part of the session for its during the final rush that the dangerous bills are rushed through by those who know the tricks. Its ten

times easier to do now than it would have been any time during the past six weeks. ■> I i. —I — Tlie Hi Naiy-Haugen farm rejjef Mil is now or will be as %oon as she routine red tape lias been gone through, up to President Coolidge. He does not approve of the law and i the question ndw is, “will he have the courage to veto the act?” The general opinion is that he will do so because of the influence of Ids eastfern friends. The real estate men in Florida are probumy ” Smiling ‘up their sleeves’ at the real estate men in California who had their little grin several months ago when storms put a dump- • etter on the rush southward and wilh . the hope that next winter those who r decided upon the Pacific coast will decide to again try the southeast section. The men of Kirkland township who organized for the purpose of purchas-

ing the old gymnasium building here and to remove it to that section where “it will bo converted into a gym for their boys, deserve commendation. It is a progressive rifove which means much to tlie boys and girls of old Kirkland and which will assure much activity among the older people as well. * We have hud several calls from patrons over the city the past tew days concerning the delivery of the paper but for some reason which we cannot understand they decline to give their names. Os course unless we have

sothp definite complaint ft is almost impossible to correct the service. We are anxious to have the paper delivered to you as soon as possible after it is off the press and we will appreciate any cooperation which aids us in doing so. U" . —i The Decatur Industrial Association should proceed with the plans discussed at the recent annul meeting, should bold monthly luncheons, have reports from committees on roads, factories, new buildings, street improvements, lighting, home building, parks, city approaches, public meetings and such other things as will arise after proper interest is aroused. Its not the splurge that counts, its the steady going and such a work continued for a year will produce 1

real results. • - ’'• ' M - Governor Jackson Is asking tor I more power and has asked the legis-| lature to pass a bill Which would give I him the authority to discharge any executive appointtee without cause. [ With that right he could make every body under his reign ‘'jump through 1 the hyop” by the bend of a linger. I Does it mean that •nine of those under the governor are not giving the desired support to the administration or does it mean that he would like to have the power to "fire” John D. Williams and a few others who ate trying to serve the state? One of the leading dieticians of the i'nited States declares that "eating 1 is a greater curse in America today than drinking.” That may startle you, but this health specialist proceeds to prove it and goes so tar as p

to say that every disease known to ' man is first caused by wrong eating. ' We are overfed but undernourished. 1 1 We do not eat the right food and de- ■ vour entirely too much of what we | . do put into our stomachs. Each thing | is good in its place and this is par- 1 ticularly true of food. To have a per- 1 1 . , . i feet body we need only to give it the ■ < right fuel, judiciously combined. Dis- ; ease germs do not thrive in a pure blood stream. Its worth thinking . about. I _ t Do you remember a few years ago 1 when you didn't have a macadam road, how badly you wanted it and ( how you worked to get it? Do you t know that your road cost several s thousand dollars a mile? Getting a 1 road is one thing, paying for ii is important, but keeping it up is the big- ( gest problem. We are now nearing ( the springtime, when the rains cause ) the roads to get soft, in one day t your road can be ruined to such an *■ extent that it cannot be repaired. 1 1 is your duty to yourself and your ’

neighbors to assist in keeping the road in first class condition. Don’t injure it by hauling excessive loads over it, don’t permit any one else to doi so. Report violations of the law . to Superintendent Magley or to one of his assistants and support them in efforts to prevent damage to the high- . ways. o +++*♦+++++♦♦♦♦*♦ ♦ BIG FEATURES ♦ <• OF RADIO * <.♦* + + + + ♦ + + + + ♦♦♦ + Saturday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1927 by United Press Central Standard Time WEAK hookup 15 stations, X pm.— Walter Dnmrosch. lecture-recital.

Lake County Delegation Hits Snag In Legislature Legislators From Calumet District, Accustomed To Geting Everything They Sought, Arc Laughed Out 01 Senate When They Ask For Super Highway Across Northern Part Os State; Bill To increase Road Bonded Indebtedness Is Killed; Moorhead Bill Expected To Be Withdrawn. By Waler A. Shead I which was killed on Feb. 11 by a vote

(Wiitten for the Daily Democrat) Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 18. latke county with its I'jmO Republican majority. which fleeted Senator James E. Watson to the I'nited States Senate at the last general election find which lias triumphed in the Seventyfifth general assembly by getting every thing the Calumet delegation asked oh a score of bills. Thursday struck a snag in the Senate farmer bloc and was laughed out of the senate in their l attempt to force the state highway commission to construct a super-high-way across tlie northern part of the state loft feet wide, at a cost of approximately $4,000,000 The Lake county delegation was literally laughed to death when the farmer bloc, lead by Senator Alonza Lindley introduced an amendment to the “super-highway'' bill which would provide that the highway commission construct the superhighway "by the most- direct and fusible” route past the homes of every member of the senate” and thence to the place of beginning.” The Lake county senators took the amendment as a j ke at first but found out later-that it was a "joker" when a motion by Senator Howard A. Cann (Rep. White, Carroll and Clinton) to indefinitely postpone further consideration of the bill was passed by the overwhelming vote of 37 to o. Senator Lindley took the position that the measure took from the state highway commission the right to direct and locate the construction of highways and the power to spend money allotted to them at their own direction. Senator Thurman A. Gottschalk Dem. Adams, Blackford and Wells) spoke against the measure, asserting that there were 3,51)0 niffes of state

highway to be built in the highway system and that when the people in the dust had been given relief, then it would be lime to talk about a super highway tor the benefit of tho Calumet region. .... Senator Curtis A Shake (Dem. Vincennes) asserted that he already had a state highway past his home and said that he would just as soon have the money in lieu of the super highway. It has become a joke among the legislators that anything Lake county asks for in the legislature, it gets, all because it put over Senator Watscn in the last campaign, it lias gotten salary increase galor, new courts and new judges and a score of other minor measures sought for Lake county alone and of no benefit to the rest of the state. Politically speaking in so far as the Republican party is concerned, the Lake county delegation de erves everything it is being given and the G. O. P. leaders are doing everything in their power to put over tlie bills backed by tlie big corporations in that section. A move to reconsider Senate Bill No. 165, sponsaied by Senator Carl Gray (Dem. of Petersburg) and Senator Edward O'Rourke (Rep. Ft Wayne

| on 26 to 20 was deleated by a vote ’* Thursday of 27 ayes and 16 noes. Senator Holmes moved to reconsider the * vote. The measure would provide that bonded Indebtness in counties and ' townships doubled for road making purposes and was backed by the road contractors, it would have made $161), 1 00$,000 available in the state to build 1 roads. The farm bloc and the Demo--1 cratic minority, was on the job, however and nipped the attempt in the bud. Just what was predicted is happening with the Moul head measure, which would provide for the election of the public service commissioners from which would provide for the elec tion of the public service commission--1 ers from the five supreme court dis- ' tricts. The measure is not going to 1 get a hearing and will be withdrawn 1 and an attempt is now being, made to ' draw up a measure which will please the utility lobbyists and which may be 3 thrown as so much sop to the public. The majority members in the Senate 1 feel that they must not just ignore the public utility issue and that they must do something. An effort was*made by friends of the Moot head measure to trade the elective feature of the measure fjt a clause which would bring holding companies within the jurisdiction of the commission. It is not believed however, that the lobbyists will near to this sort of an amendment and what ever bill is drawn up will be just . so much sop in an attempt to appease the gieat outciy of public opinion a gainst tlie utility commission. An attempt to put over a "fast one' by the Republican state committee on the legislative reapportionment was expected to be attempted at the last minute by the Republican majority at

tlie dictation of Clyde A. Walb, Republican state ' chairman. This measure which was introduced early in the seesi ii lias nevet come out of cemmittee and Walb is currying the bill around in his pocket. The Republican members of the House interested in the bill caucused at the Columbia .club Thursday night and it was expected that some action might be taken within the next few days. I'nder the reapportionment the counties of latke, St. Joseph. Marion and Vigo will be given increased representation taking away some of tlie sole representatives of the rural districts, and making joint representation in these counties necessary. Any ma- v. ho docs not think that me Sevemy-iifth general assembly can be classed as a “do nothing" legislature consider the following record up tc noon Thursday Feb. 17. Biijs introdet cd 652 Bills pa.-sed by both houses out of the 652, 19; bills signed by the Governor, 9; vetoed by the Governor 1; Senate bills passed by the House 8; bills withdrawn In the house,3l; bills killed b) indefinitely postponed in the house, 66; house bills passed by he house, 61; house bills passed by the senate 11; senate bills with-

drawn, 1: bills killed or indefinitely) postponed in tho senate. 32: hills failed to pass for lack of a constitutional majority in the senate, 6; senate bills passed 93. With only two weeks to go, only nineteen meaauies, all of them local and of no importance, have byu sent to the Governor for singature ami the. Governor has signed 9. As has been: predicted, if the legislature passed the biennial appropriation measure within the next two weeks and does nothing else, it will do well at the present rate of progress. - - o COMEDY AND FUN IN WRIGHT PLAYERS PRODUCTION OF "PIGS” • — "Pigs", that hilarous comedy which northern Indiana paid top prices to see last season, will be presented by the Wright Players at the Majestic theatre, Fort Wayne, next week beginning Sunday matinee.
