Renew your subscription to the Daily Democrat now. Our campaign is closing. March came iu like a lion, not a full grown one perhaps/ but too wild and wooly to be called a lamb. The Lienton season opened today and if each one of us will just decide to do it we can each refrain from something to our great personal benefit. Now if its true that when March conies in rough it will close with balmy breezes blowing, we can soon begin to look for some real spring weather. The $33,000 received from the automobile taxes to be used on maintenance of roads in Adams county will help if we could add to that half the three cents gasoline taxes we could soon have the finest system of roads in the country. George Dale ought to have known better than to bide at Celina if he really wanted to keep away from the clutches of Judge Dearth. He should have made headquarters at Herriu, Illinois, where even Muncie officers are afraid to hunt. Who ever believed that the state of Indiana could go into the prize fighting business after hearing one of Senator Watson's or Governor Jackson’s sppeches to a church gathering? Don't think they can’t stop it if they want to. The township assessors are now at work and during the next few -weeks will appraise your personal property for taxation. Its a rather mean job at best but one that must be done and we can all aiil these men by treating them courteously and furnishing them the information required under the law. ' Newspapers generally seem to have dropped the matter of the presidents veto of the McNary-Haugen bill, evidently expecting the farmers and business men of the middle west to forget it before next years campaign, but it will be kept alive easily after another harvest without profits. If they want to avoid trouble they had beitqr plan some method to boost prices of farm products this year. * —— There are Indications that several test oil wells will be drilled just north of this city during the next few months and if we could be fortunate enough to have them strike a real field, it would mean much to this community. It would bring profits to the farmers of that section, would stimulate general business in this city. Here's hoping they hit a thousand barrel well right off the bat. Foreigners visiting this country frequently express surprise at the fact that so many people when referring to the president call him by the first name. if they happened through* many sections now and listened to the discussions concerning the veto of the farm relief bill, they would be more startled than ever at what some are calling him. Congress will adjourn Friday and the Indiana legislature Monday, giving the country rest for a considerable time, it is well. The records of

these two law making bodies do not [' contain much of merit unless it be in the fact that fewer laws have been passed than usual. That’s something but there is some remedial legislation that should have been taken care of . before the boys turn in for their long I period of hibernating. The high school sectional tournament will be held in this city Friday • and Saturday of this week and teams 1 from the various high schools of this ) , county will participate. It is a big 1 occasion for the members of the teams , and the fans from those schools they i represent. We can make their visit hete mor*' enjoyable by, extending to them a sincere welcome, .treatiifg them all like the good sports they are. Put out the colors, attend the games, cheer all the players when they deserve cheering and see that every visitor is properly cared for. It’s the easiest ami most natural thing in the world for a man to lose his temper for a minute or so. Nothing is more “human” than (o seek to i "get even” with some one who has offended us. Ordinarily, these little outbursts that all of us indulge i» don’t hurt any one. But there is one circumstance in which none of us should ever let his temper get the better of him. That is—when driving Un automobile. Sure, it makes you tnad when the other fellow cuts in in front of you or passes you on the wrong side. Sure, it's natural for you to yvant to get ahead and cut your car sharp in front of his. But don't do it. Momentary losses of temper, we'll wager, cause about as many traffic accidents as any other single cause. Don't get mad while you're driving a car. It may cost you your life. —Connersville Examiner. o ♦+++++♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY + ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ 4- Twenty Years Ago Thi* Day. ♦ ++♦++♦♦♦♦+♦+♦♦♦♦ March 2.—1). M.

■ Senate Engages In Bitter Debate Over Shade Motion State Senate Thrown Into Chaos And Forced On Record Against Immediate Removal Os Members Os Public Service Commission; House Os Representatives Condemned For Asking Resignation Os Board Members; Farm Tax Bill Is Greatly Changed.

By Walter A. Sltead (WYitten for the Daily Democrat) Indianapolis, Ind March 2 —Senator Curtis G. Shake. Democrat, of Vincennes. threw the Indiana Slate Senate i into chons Monday, forced them to recold as against immediate removal cf the members of the Indiana public Service commission and place the senatein the attitude of condemning the House of Representatives for the latter's adoption of a resolution which a<ked the governor for the immediate r..‘.->iguatiun of members of the public s-i vice commission. The vote on the Shake motion was a strictly party affair, all Republicans voting against it and the Democrats with the exception of Senator Orrin H. Market, of Elkhart, voting for the motion. The Shake motion was as follows: “I move that the senate congratulate the House of Representatives for its eomteous stand in lequestiag the resignation of the members of the Public Be: vice commission and that the senate joins with the House in said re !i quest. Shake, Senator." Senator Shake's motion precipitated a better debate which called forth some sharp remarks, particularly from Senator James J. Nejdl (Rep Lake) who has lead the fight against all utility remedial legislation. Senator Shake and Lieutenant Governor F. Harold Van Orman, engaged iu a little set-to ing off much the best of the argument In speaking on his motion. Senator Shake said: x "1 am surprised that Vie members of this body, particularly the majority members should be disturbed over the reading of a newspaper clipping (the house resolution was read on the floor of tlie senate from a newspaper clipping). Other newspapers throughout Wie state have been making much more serious charges during the past few months, charges against even higher officers of the state than the'members of this senate". “Lets see, Senator Shake, you live in Vincennes, do you not, where a newspapr has made certain charges?" Van Orman interjected. “Yess Mr. President, J 'live in Vincennes wheie a certain newspaper has ben making charges, but I can name lout teen or fifteen other newspapers over the state which have made the same charges, among them one in Evansville where the President resides,” Shake replied. And the lieutenant .governor interrupted no further. The House of Representatives earlier in the day had adopted tlie resolution which in one section pointed out that the utility lobby had prevented | passage of any utility remedial legislation in the Senate was this passage of the resolution which Senator Nejdl objected and\which he declared to be an "untruth." Senator William Hodges (Rep. Gary) a utility attorney and Sen ator William P. Evans (Rep Marion) attorney so/ the Instill interests in Indianapolis, conferred hortly and then Senator Hodges moved tlie adoption of a motion which would ask tlie lieu tenant governor to name a committee of three members of tlie senate to answer the House resolution. Senator Shake, however, by his clever motion, nullified any action t # he committee may take, by getting tin: majority members on recoW as condemning tlie action of Hie house, it is believed that the utility tight will result in an open break between the House and Senate, with Harry Leslie, speaker of the house in favor of the resolution. When the resolution was introduced by Rep. resentative Bossou of Indianapolis, the speaker made no attempt to bwuUjct

it and put it to a vote immediately, without debate, the resolution carrying overwhelmingly. Leslie knew that the resolution was coming and was prepared to take the floor of tlie house ' and speal in favor of its adoption, it is understood. The Speaker, made one of the best moves possible in his pre- , campaign gubernatorial aspirations, when he put the resolution through without debate. The senate resolution condemning the house, when it gets to that body will no doubt, precipitate a bitter fight. The farm tax bill, emasculated so that it bears no resemblance to its original text, came back to the senate Monday for concurrence in the house annulments aud was made a special order of business Wednesday forenoon. The measure peas redrafted, omits the two per cent limitation and the twenty-percent earning power and provides that the property shall lie asessed at its true cash value, the assessor to take into consideration in arriving at this value, The normal earning . capacity, tlie speculative value aud the voluntary sale value, on like property in th same vicinity. This is all more or less nebulous, for it would be bard to figure the normal earning capacity of a farm. It would also be hard to figure its speculative value and its voluntary sale value based on property in the same vicinity might have to be based on “In consideration of $1 und other . . - <> nuiliy deeds it is conceded the men ur-- has littl chance of concurrence by senate. '1 ae tax board measure has only one redeeming feature and this is that the tax board would be authorized to make horizontal decreases in any taxing unit. The board now only . has the power to make horizontal increases by counties. In the redrafted bill the reappraisement of property is put off until 1928. Although tlie Judiciary A coiymittce of the House held an open hearing on the petition for the impeachment of Judge Clarence Dearth of theh Dela-| ware circuit court Monday night, it is predicted a negative report on the . petition will be brought in. Despite the opinions of the attorney general that the legislature has no power ’to impeach the judge, the chairman of the committee also has opinions from aev- , oral able Indianapolis atrorpeys that the legislature docs have the power. In the hearing scores of Muncie people testified us to tlie unfitness of Judge . Dearth for his position and set forth acts as to why lie would be impeached. . H is believed tlie committee merely intends to implicate both sides of the impeachment petition, give the I Muncie people a hearing so thy might . air their grievance and then bring in

These coughing spells, if not quickly checked, are very injurious to the child’s health, to say nothing of the annoyance to others.
