THE PRESIDENT'S VETO: As was expected and predicted,. President Coolidge chose between the eastern capitalist and the farmers of the south and west and middlewest *by favoring the former. He vetoed the McNary-Haugen bill authorizing tile appropriation of $250,000,00(1 to be used as a revolving fund with which to guarantee the farmers a "fair price” I for the production of cotton, wheat, I corn, hogs, rice and tobacco. It was believed by great statesmen that the passage of the bill would have stabilized the farm business, advanced the prices of land and made the business again one to be desired. , The excuse that it was unconsli-l tutional seems flimsy when we stop* to think that for some seventy-five Vears we have been paying tribute to manufacturing industries in the way of a tariff tax. A similar group of men opposed and for some years defeated a federal reserve banking law. declaring it could not operate and would be unconstitutional and unsafe and a few other things, yet it has' proven to be one of the greatest pieces of legislation ever put upon our books and has time and again averted a money panic. If tlie eastern statesmen had so desired they could, we are sure, have easily eradicated any provisions which seriously affected the constitutionality of the law, but the trouble is they did not want a farm relief measure to pass and assisted by the president have defeated it. Just what effect the president’s action will have polit- 1 ... .. . • • ■ - doubtful if he has ajlded to his prestige. On the other hand -it is probable that in the minds of many he has missed his biggest opportunity to make good by supporting the people who must produce the crops of this country. Bill Hays is an up and doing gentleman and whether it be in politics, law, office bidding, the film world or] church work he does thing hard when ( he tackles tlcem. He is chairman of (lie Laymen's committee of the Presbyterian church in the I’nited States' and has tackled the Job of raising J sls,oon,i'(pi for the minister's pension fund. Relieving that no good general will send his troops whye he is' airaid to go. Bill had his worldly possessions appraised and gave onetenth of it to the fund. That’s really | practising what one preaches, isn't it? Cal E. Peterson, well-known business man. has been selected as president ofvtbe Decatur Industrial Asso-1 elation, an honor earned by years of service for the community and a place he will till with credit. Mr. Peterson] has been a member of the board for a number of years hud an active worker in every drive made here since the association was made. Assisted by able men as officials and by active committee heads lie will make a good record we predict and the community will receive many' benefits? % '■ Two college boys from Elgin, Illinois, arrested in Gary after holding up a -theatre cashier, have admitted that they committed nine robberies the past week and declare they did it for a “thrill," the money thus secured being only incidentally. They are fortunate that in one. of the nine affairs they di(ljiot shoot some one and thus •

.have earned the thrill that goes *ttk C death in the electric chair. A lot of j these young fellows need the thrill of having to earn their own livelihood worse than most anything else. . David Lawreuce predicts an extra t session of congress due to the fact ( that practically nothing has been accomplished at the present session. A filibuster against the Boulder dam bill i has continued eight days and it be- [ gins to look that all legislation will • be blocked by the half dozen groups ! of senators now whirling around in I the uppet house. The present session 1 must close next Friday. The Monroe street bridge is slowly but surely going to decay, at least it looks like it ami we are sure that a little money expended on repairs now would save itself many times over within a short time. The attention of the county commissions should be directed that way. Well, there is only another week of . hope ami fear for the Indiana legls- , lature. The session, which has ali ready been repeatedly pointed out as the leaderless assembly by leading newspaper correspondents, will con.elude a week from Monday. Editor Dale is trying to have Judge Dearth, of Muncie, impeached ami the judge is trying to send Dale to the <' penal farm. Each side has some support and there is grave danger that both will succeed. A little more winter today, which ’serves us right for we have no business thinking about spring in Indiana in February. Never was and never will be. —— o- + ++ ++ + + + + + * + '*** + ♦ BIG FEATURES * + OF RADIO ♦ +*+++*♦+++♦+♦♦♦+ SUNDAY'S FIVE BEST ■; RADIO FEATURES I.

Vust money.

How strangely money acts’ on different men! To some ’tis poison, and to others food. Some winning it grow kindly, and again Others we see grow arrogant and rude. II changes all for better or for worse. To one a joy, to some one else a curse. This man it makes a stranger to his friends, This one a friend to stingers passing by. The cpmmon stuff which every pawnshop lends Affects the heart, the mind, the flesh, the eye. 1. seems to have no standard and no rule, I makes a scholar and it makes a fool.

Extended Session Looms For State Legislature Petition Os Muncie Citizens For Impeachment Os Judge Dearth, of Delaware County Expected To Require Additional Time; Important Steps Taken By Legislators Friday; Moorhead Bill Killed In Senate; Pay Os County Agents May Be Increased.

By Walter A. Shead Written for the Daily Democrat Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 26 —The Seventy-fifth session of tlie Indiana Legislature, with only one more week, to go until‘the end of the ses skill, faces an extended session, at 1 >ast in so far as the Senate is concerned, to act 011 a petition for the impeachment of Judge ( larence Dearth of the Muncie circuit court. The petition, signed by approximately 250 freeholders of Muncie, asks Chat the legislature take steps to impeach the jurist who is charged with abridging the right of freedom of speech and the press and with being unable to cope with the lawli - s tuation alleged to be in existence in Muncie. The same committee in the House which brought out an adverse report on the Saunders resolution for a legislative’ investigation of tlie Tom Adams charges of political corruption. has the petition and it is doubtful if a favorable report will be returned. Should the impeachment, however, gain headway, the Democrats in the House will unite in putting the petition through. This will necessitate a special session for the A’J'.JU the upper house ••• oliill Bit a- a 1 ill silt i. a case. The Legislature too, r-onie important. steps Friday, probably the most important of the session. The last Drill providing far repeal of the abs> nt voters’ law was found, its absence was not explained. The House i< pealed the registration law; the senate discovered a joker in the Sliatik-O’Rourke primary modification law. which precipitated a bitter debate. The joker would have kept the governorslpp in tlie convention which is just what, the law was not supposed to do. The measure was Blip- | posed to lake tin' president, vke president, two senators out of the primary, lea"iug the in. A section, however which repealed section 14 of the present law would have provided the governor also go into convention. The friends of Lieutenant Governor Van Orman, who are back of tlie measure had a cl<o call for defeat of the measure smd it was only saved from indefinite postponment by a vote of 26 to 23. The majority of three represents the close division on the primary question. Lieutenant Governor Van Orman, wiio is a candidate for governor doesn't want to throw the governorship into convention, and that is what Clyde A. Wall), Republican state chairman wants to do. The debate on the measure was bitter ami opined up the feud between the Nejdl-Van Orman and the HarlattO'Rotifke crowd in the senate. Sehator Joseph Cravens (Democrat Ohio, Clark, Jefferson and Switzerland) contends that the repeal of the registration law by the House . will not hold water, that it is unconstitutional anti that seine form of registration must be provided for if it is | a constitutional provision: Senator Cravens said the state constitution must first be changed before the registration law is ropeulej, or unless some other form of registration is provided. Senator Cravens is generally pretty well informed anti it may be that his opinion is the correct one. The Senate, as was predicted kill--led tlie Moorhead, remedial utility 'measure by a vote of 31 to IS. The | debate took up most of the afternoon

Because they have what minted coins can buy Some instantly appear to swill with pride. Good judgment, through the window seems to fly And decent conduct, runs away to hide. While others, by good fortune, win ning much Still walk the world and keep the common touch. We know precisely what a drug will do; That water drowns and fire burns one and all. But none can prophesy of me or you Whether with money we should ’ rise or fall. None knows what course the power of gold will take. Both good and evil follow in Its wake.

ami now the legislature, as this writer early predicted is left without having accomplished anything in this regard. It is true that two bills are now in the House, having passed the senate, one providing that municipal utilities are taken from without the jurisdiction of the public service commission ami the other providing for an appeal to the circuit.courts. It may be, however, that these measures will never get, through the house. The old Jap Jones bill which was in-

trodticcd by Senator Uochard. has not sufficient time to get through both houses before adjournment. , The senate took a peculiar action on tlie Hewitt measure to take from the jurisdiction of the state tax board all local bond issues, when on I a motion by Senator Holmes of Gary to recall the measure from the House, the senate later ijfused to reconi Rider the vote by a vote of 25 to 24 and thus the bill stands as passed, i The senate then refused to send the measure buck to the House on a mo- ■ tion to make such action forthwith. 'by Senator Carl Gray, (Democrat, 'I Pike and Gibson). The measure, will autoniatfbally find Its way back to the House, but too late for any action . to bo taken at this session, ft will > likely die. The bill, as result of the I vote to refuse to send the measure 1 back, may lie and die in the senate. . 1 The farmer block, which has set itself up as a guardian of the peoples purse in the state and which has vot- ‘ ed against any and all measures J which would increase expenditures, i except farmer measures, Friday voted .' to increase the salaries of the county ■ I agricultural agents, which it is pre- ' dieted will amount to approximately $138,000 throughout the state. The measure gives the county boards the power to pay what they desire to county agents and removes the $2500 - limit now imposed under the law. The Democratic minority in both 'the house and senate have not been I voting as a unit on important mea- | sures of late. In the Senate the Dem-I . ocratic solons are more inclined to I listen to Senator Cravens, rather ' than tt» Senator Andrew E. Durham. I the floor leader, and as a result there has been some difference of opinion and there hasn’t been a solid vote on any question in several weeks. In the House, there appears to be thb same division. with no attention being paid by the Democrats to their floor leader, Addison Drake. Mr. Drake, apparently has constituted himself as a "seconder of the motions" of Representative L. A. Pittinger, the Republican floor leader. Representative Edward B. Bender, of Zionsville, George L. Saunders of Bluffton and Delph McKesson of Ply- i

mouth are looked upon as the Democratic spokesmen in the house. The farmer bloc succeeded in reconsidering the vote on their pet bill the oleo bill and passed |t to third reading with the clause preventing the two in state institutions omitted. It Is predicted, however, that the measure will be killed when it reaches third reading and the senators who are for killing the measure only agreed to allow the vote reconsidered in return for some suport in killing the Moorhead measure. CANDIDATES Several Democrat* Aspiring To Presidency Paul R. Mallon (U. I’. Stuff Correspundenl Washington, (I’nited Press t —Still the Democratic presidential aspirants continue to come. With Gov. Al Smith of New York, William G. McAdoo of California. Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, Senator James A. Reed of Missouri and Gov Vie Donahey of Ohio, actively in the field., comes now Evans Woolen, an Indiana attorney popular among the Democrats of his home state. Those in line to receive support of 1 their state delegations include Senator , Thomas J Walsh of Montana: Rep. Finis Garret. Tenn.; Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, Woolen's candidacy was advanced Iby Thomas Taggart, Decocratic.l I leader of Indiana who said that hi'man would lie selected in case anoth | er McAdoo Smith dead-lock developes. It is a natural assumptioh that the I Indiana delegation will be for Tag- : gart’s choice although Woollen was dei seated in his race last November for | the senate seat of Senator Watson. Republican Wooien, however, ran ahead ot his ticket. Tlie Missouri delegation is expected to vote for Reed; and tlie Maryland delegation loi Ritchie if not for Smith Whether McAdoo will have his home state California delegation is doubtful as is likewise the- strength of Donahey in his home delegation.
