Wear your Old Home Week Club button. It may make some one else think about getting one. Another dose of winter, just to remind you that the groundhog knew his stuff. Lindy is keeping his plans secret but he is Having a hard job doing it. He is watched as closely and as carefully as President Coolidge. Why can't we let him attend to his own business for a while? We couldn’t imagine what that Evanston man could possibly gain from skipping the rope 15,000 times on his fifty-eighth birthday until we read that he lost fifteen pounds in the operation. Remember that a five-dollar membership in the Old Home Week club does not carry with it any liability for further assessments, that only the amount raised will be spent and that if for any reason the plan is not a success, your money will be returned to you in full. Join now. Mr. Hoover announces that he favors the eighteenth amendment and the enforcement of the prohibition laws and yet he will probably get his largest vote in the wettest cities of America. Can you explain that? Perhaps the drys believe him and the wets don’t. Logansport has a municipal plant which made money. They built up a reserve of several hundred thousand dollars and now they are expending $75,0()0 to build a factory building for the Muelhausen Spring Company of Chicago. Don’t just understand how that can be done, but it is, and it maybe an idea to work on. Everybody we have talked to about the i>lans now under way for the organization of an Old Home Week club to finance the big event desired for next autumn, agrees that its sound and alright. Then why not help put it over. A five-dollar bill won’t hurt most of you and makes us all equal partners in Going something worth while for the community. It is predicted that within another decade automobile busses will be operating at the rate of three and a half miles a minute, which will mean you can go from here to Fort Wayne in six minutes and to Chicago in less than an hour. And you know they have got us where wc just about have to believe everything they tell us about this speed stuff. Judge Smith, one of the old boys from this locality does not propose to be left out of the preliminary plans for Old Home Week, his letter enclosing a check for ten dollars for membershlnp for he and Mrs. Smith in the club now being organized. While of course, invitations were not send to those whom we expect to be our guests, we recognize the fine spirit of the Smiths and are glad they wish to be a part of the boosters. The club is going along nicely now and we hope each day will bring along a bunch or members. The republican state committee refused to listen to the demands of the

Fort Wayne News-Sehtlne! and Tom Adams of the Vincennes Commercial to “get Governor Jackson’s resignation or make every effort to convene the legislature to impeach him." The , committee prefers that the Incident • of the recent trial of the governor be allowed to evaporate by giving it no , attention, but the trouble is that so many republican voters over the state do not agree that Is the thing to do. ! Looking towards a clean governihent 1 in Indiana, thousands of voters are . detei mined not to permit politicians I to throw sand Ih their eyes this year. i —————— * Senator James E. Watson is now a I real candidate for president. His candidacy has been presented by Congressman Vestal of the eighth distrlct and a petition signed by some fifteen thousand Hoosier voters has been duly filed, according to law, with the secretary of state. Jim is in the fight and we who have known him many years, knows that he will fight hard, though we doubt that he will get far, nor expects to. He Is going out to get the Indiana vote so he can direct where and when it goes to some one else. He is, it is claimed, not strong for Mr. Hoover and it is likely that he will use the thirty votes from Indiana to start a boom for Vice-president Dawes or some one else. Some good should result from the plan of the civic and industrial organizations to make a study of the tax problem in Indiana and suggest changes in the laws. Any consideration of taxes by the public Is a helpful sign and an indication that greater economies may be accomplished. This has been demonstrated by the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association. Its reports have shown that in nearly every county where the citizens scrutinized budgets and questioned expenditures the rates have come down. The proposed study of the tax laws is more comprehensive in scope than a mere study of local budgets. The purpose is to consider all the statutes relating to the assessment of property to determine whether they are just; to decide whether repeal, amendment or new legislation is wise. Some years ago a new tax law was written but it departed in no way from the old principle that property should be assessed at its true value. Its backers explained that under the new method of assessment property would be so listed and that the increase in values would bring about a corresponding deerbase in rates Values went up but so did rates. Just what is needed to remedy the situation nobody seems to know. A state corporation tax has been advocated and rejected. A state income tax would require a constitutional amendment, and there is little general interest in the plan. The last legislature attempted to revise the law in the interest of farm land and some relief has been afforded, but the state tax commissioners believe the law to be faulty and largely unworkable. — Indianapolis News. o *¥¥¥¥¥<r¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * !?¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥&; Thursday’s Five Best Radio features WOR, Newark, 422, 7:25 p. m.—New York Philharmonic orchestra Tosacnini conducting.

n ~~~~~— ““““ 1 ~~ j Seeks Nomination For Governor ■ e '■ i"■■■■■" ■ - "-k ' “ ■ fl' f ■■ . iKIWvT ISI • 1 ■ iiiOm ol FRANK C. DAILCV With corruption in politics almost a daily topdc of conversation in every household for a number of years, Democratic leaders and the rank and file of the party in Indiana early began search for a candidate for Governor whose . record in behalf of clean government vßiuld be an absolute guarantee that the name of the state of Indiana would no longer appear in the crime news of every newspaper in the country. As a result, Frank C. Dailey has announced for the Democratic nomination for Governor. Born in Wells county, Indiana, son of the late Joseph S. Da. ley, former member of the Indiana state supreme court, and after graduating from the Indiana University law school at Bloomington, Mr. Dailey teturned to his home and entered the practice of law. He was assistant prosecuting attorney during the early practice of his profession, and in that capacity established more than a local reputation for fearlessly and vigorously waging battle against crime. In 1913 he was appointed United States District Attorney for Indiana, and his record against political corruption is well known to all. After retiring front this position and entering the practice of law in Indianapolis, Mr.-; Dailey was chosen by the Attorney General of the United States to prosecute i, United States Senator Truman H. Newberry for having illegally procured pis I: nomination and election by the expenditure of huge campaign funds. Follow- I ing a lengthy trial, and a bitter legal battle against the formidable array of i counsel for Newberry, a Michigan jury returned a verdict of guilty and 1 Newberry was forced to retire tram the senate. It was this recordjcoupled with his known executive ability, that prompt- I cd the Democrats of Indiana to induce Mr. Dai'.ey to make the race for the I Democratic nomination for Governor, the first time he has ever ®mught offi-|j cial position.

“Your Health” This Column is conducted by the Adams County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Association in the interest of the public's health. Eary Diagnosis of Tuberculosis "To discover every hidden case of tuberculosis tn the state during the next month is the desire of the 2701) physicians who compose the Indiana State Medical Association”, according to a bulletin issued today by-the Publicity Bureau cf that Association. This bulletin is the fifth and final article prepared by the bureau upon the value of annual periodic health examinations and the necessity of early diagnosis in cases of tuberculosis. In conducting this educational campaign the physicians of the state are cooperating with the Indiana Tuberculosis Association who is sponsoring a state-wide movement for the discovery of unkonwn cases of tuberculosis and urging all those who may have symptoms of the disease to go to their family physician in March for a thorough physical check-up. “Attention of the physicians of the state is being directed to this movement by articles appearing in the Journal of the Indiana State Medical Association and by scientific reviews for physicians issued monthly by the National Tuberculosis Association which keep the physician abreast of the subject. “Upcn the early diagnosis of tubersulosis depends the hope of cure". , says the bulletin. , "Th6 general practitioner, not the specialist, first sees most of the in1 clpient cases. New facts about tuberculosis are being brought to light so . rapidly that the busy practitioner finds [ difficult to keep abreast of the subject. For this reason special stress > is being paid by the profession to the . diagnosis of tuberculosis. "A statement by the director of the National Tuberculosis Association. Dr. Linsey R. Williams, showing the [. necessity of early diagnosis in the ease .cf tuberculosis points out the im- - portance of complete periodic exaiiiin--1 ations of apparently well persons. Al--1 though diagnosis of tuberculosis is not : always easy and the physical signs may not readily bixj-ecognized, lay ‘ex.- ■ perts’ sometimes have the inuHession - that the diagnosis cf tuberculosis is » easy and that doctors are Incompetent 1 because they do not make an iiiiinct diute diagnosis. As a matter of fact physicians are frequently perplexed in

making a decision. Hence the public should realize the importance of a thorough physical examination at reg-1 ular intervals." «¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * ¥ ¥ ¥ From the Daily Democrat File ¥ ¥ Twenty Year* Ago Today * ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥*l Feb. 24—Father Leo Heinrichs, Denver priest, shot aifd killed by Alio Gui-j seppa, an anarchist.

— Tips For Taxpayers NO. ELEVEN In determining net income there are allowed certain specified deductions from gross income such as business expenses, losses, interest paid, had debts, depreciation, rent, contributions etq.
