Most of us really believe in making the other fellow obey the laws. What penalty can be imposed on • those who attempt to fly across the ■ ocean? Surely those who have tried It have paid a great price. We just had an Idea that the "high state official" carefully referred to in news dispatches was none other than the “horse trader.” Its a sorry plight but thats been the condition for several years. Drive carefully. Even if you are reckless and don't care what becomes of you, remember you are endangering the lives of a lot of folks who don't care to be hustled off into eternity. We wouldn't blame that Allen county man for feeling that he had paid too much for fishing in the St. Marys river. He came over into this county and teased the finny tribe without first securing a license. His fine and costs totalled twenty-three dollars. Vic Donaliey. three times governor • of Ohio, will be a candidate for United States senator in Ohio, fighting it out with Senator Fess. Vic is > some speedster when i: comes to . running for office and Fess w r ill know , he has been in a fight when election day rolls around next year. We are glad that experts, backers 1 and law makers are viewing traus- . oceanic trips in airplanes as “futile and dangerous and that laws will be \ passed to restrict further attempts. | The loss of a scorp of brave men and ■ women the past munth should make ' those who have bee-a encouraging ; such attempts stop and consider. > Tests of planes can be made on land with just as good results anu much ■ safer. ) Wells county boosted their tax rate | for general and highway purposes j sixteen cents and Jay went up fifteen cents as compared to eight cents in • Adams county, showing that economy is being practised here whether you • believe it or not. The increase of rates in this county where there is ) one is due largely to increased expenditures for new roads which have been petitioned for and which is evidently a step in the highway of progress which will not stop until our roads are the best to be found any where. i A news dispatch dated Decatur, Indiana, and stating that Decatur citizens had been “taxed $25.00 each for displaying their knowledge of electricity by Installing a little piece of wire so that the electricity would not puss through the meter” has caused a lot of guessing here. According to the officials in charge of that department no arrests have been made here on such a charge. Occasionally some one does attempt to work such a game but so far the only punishmeut has been that they are made to pay up on an estimate based on the highest amount of “juice” Used. A Holland, Michigan, man whoso name is Stellema has hit upon a novel plan to cause him to be remembered and “raonumented” and loved in five hundred years from now. Some one in that section who is

I "good at figures" proved to him that one dollar -deposited now and drawing Interest, compounded each sir. months would grow to the very tidy su m of $2,900,000, so Hill immediately put Ms dollar to work with the specification that in 2127 the money Is to he divided among his lielrs. Gosh, what a time they will have und how they will praise Hill Wish someone had done that here live hundred years and specified that the money pus to have been used to build highways, schools, parks, pay the taxes or some thing else that would have benefited every one. Might be alright for a dozen or so to start it now. 'Twouldn't cost much auil might come in handy after a while for our great grand children's great grand children The indictment of Governor Ed Jackson, Mayor Duvall, of Indianapolis; George V, Coffin, political boss and Ilobert Marsh, former law partner of Jackson on charges of political corruption will again bring this state into the limelight in a manner which is regrettable hut. unavoidable. For several years a selfish gang of politicians have evidently had charge of affairs and it is needless to go into details again as to*the long list of wrongs committeed. The graft in and about the capitol has been an open secret and the only way to clean house seems to be through an opeu airing of court. The finger of scorn has been pointed towards Indiana long enough. The people have a right to know the truth about affairs and if the investigations and the trials draw others equally guilty into the sorry mess, let them take the consequences. More than a year ago Thomas Adams, Vincennes editor and leading republican, began an investigation and published statements which if untrue would have subjected him to libel suits and criminal actions but those started have been dismissed and the denials have been flimsy and weak. At that time a political campaign was in progress and Adams was ridiculed, “gagged” and berated. His predictions are now coming true. The next few weeks should bring about a "clearing up shower” of unfold value to Indiana and her citizenship. o 7 ************* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * ************* Saturday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1927 by United Press Central Standard Time WEAF, hookup, 7:3o—Second act of the “Circus Princess.” WJZ, New York. 451, 6:3o—The Mediterraneans.
