March govern the weather for the I three months of spring. Not so bad. Every city, county and township official in Adams county should be a member of the Old Home Week club. Surely you' stand for keeping the community alive and going. Gasoline goes up two cents a gallon and without any explanation. After reading the testimony of Mr. Hays we are convinced that we could make a guess if we had to. —————— i Os course before we give up Old Home Week, the “shock" committee will be sent out but you surely don’t : want to wait for them. Send your 1 money to one of the three banks or ’ to this office and get your card and button. All set for the big tournament? It ' opens tonight and hundreds of young people will be here to yell and root ' for their home team. Its fine sport. 1 this basketball — and we hope that ' every youngster gets a good thrill and has a good time while here. And may 1 the best team win. 1 -*<l | We presume that New York news I paper man who has gone to Europe on j his wedding tour and expects to be gone six or eight months is the same : one who lived carefully, saved his : money, refused to indulge in smoking, drinking or card playing, invest ed his earnings in bonds and then married a girl with a million. — Judge Sol J. Carter of Indianapolis has announced his candidacy against Senator Arthur Robinson for the republican nomination. While Robinson's friends are smiling they may be in for a jolt. Remember that mat ter of Mrs. Robinson accepting a string of pearls from “Old Man’ Stephenson has never been very satistorily cleared up. . The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel comes out strong for Hoover foi president, Senator James Eli Watson of Indiana to -the contrary notwithstanding and nevertheless, but the forces that control the Indiana delegation will probably pay no more attention to this than they did to the recent telegram demanding a resolution that Governor Jackson resign. In other words they seem to drifting out of the charmed circle. D. C. Stephenson believes that I Prosecutor Remy “muffed” a good opportunity when he failed to prove concealment in the recent Jackson trial-and insists that a question or two propounded to him would have brought forth all that was necessary. He also inquires why nothing was said about the letter which the governor wrote Boyd Gurley, editor of the Times, denying that he ever made an offer to McCray, Gradually a lot of things are emenating from supposedly hidden sources. Will Hays told the investigating committee of the senate that Harry Sinclair, the oil magnate, gave a net sum of $160,000 to help pay the G. O. I’. deficit of the 1920 campaign. Other'; gave as generously no doubt. They beat the game by giving after

the campaign is over. If they give before, the matter would be published, so they just borrow from banks and then pay It by getting a few of these gigantic donations. They may , kid you into believing that its all on - the square but they are never going to push that down our neck. Its too , greasy. Adams county received back $37,000 of the gas tax money the past year, which helps considerably. At the recent session of the legislature efforts were made to turn this over to the state highway commission and there is propaganda out now to bring that about next spring. The movement, we feel should be opposed, for maintaining 712 miles of road in this county is some job forThe local road ' officials and almost as important as ’ it is to have the twenty-four miles of state road kept in condition. Thats 1 what the money is used for here and ; if we don’t get it we will just have to raise that much in taxes. There seems to be a general desire and intention to lower valuations of I property, real and personal, this year, which is alright, but of course dosen’t settle the tax question very much. So long as we spend as much as we dd for roads and schools and who is old fashioned enough to wish to do else, it is going to be a difficult matter to reduce your taxes in dollars and cents. If the valuations are reduced the rate must go up accordingly so the only place we can see it will mean a saving eventually is that it reduces the amount that can be spent as this is largely regulated by a percentage of the valuation. There will probably be no road building under the township units for several years. The most important thing about the valuations after all is that . it be equalized. We appreciate the endorsements be ing given Old Home Week and tty? encouragement we are receiving, but we wish it distinctly understood that its your show as well as ours and that the only real assistance just now ’ is your memberships and five dollars. When we have something to do wr like to snap In to it and get it done rather than drag along. "Old Homer’’ told you the facts in his article yesterday. Did you read it or did you ’ just say, “Oh thats just some more 1 Old Home Week bunk ’’and let it go , at that? If you did, dig up the paper ] and read it over. One or two or a i iozen people cannot put this over and ‘ should not. Either it should be the community or nothing. We don’t like t o scold or grumble but we hate to • chink that this splendid community ( s permitting this splendid proposiion to lag and drag . ************* i * TWENTY YEARS AGO * J * * i * From the Daily Democrat File H * Twenty Year# Ago Today ♦ x********««»a March 2 —The Fort Wayne district convention of the M.

—————l Tips For Taxpayers ■■■ No. Seventeen Bad debts constitute a considerable item in the returns of many taxpayers and may be treated in one of two ways either by deduction from gross income in respect to debts ascertained to be worthless In whole or In part, or by deduction from a reasonable reserve for bad de|>ts. Permission to adopt the reserve method is limited to taxpayers having a large number of accounts where credit has been extended to cover a considerable portion of time. It is not granted for the purpose of handling one -specific debt. Bad debts may be deducted from gores income only for the year in which they are ascertained to be worthless and charged off the books of the taxpayer. The taxpayer should attach to his return a statement showing the propriety of any deduction claimed tor bad debts. Where the surrounding circumstances show that a debt is worthless and uncollectible, debt is worthless and uncollectable, and that legal action. In all probability would not avail, proof of these facts Is sufficient of their worthlessness. Unpaid loans made to relatives or friends with little or no expection of friends with little or no expectation of their return are not deductible but are regarded as gifts. If a debt is forgiven, it can not be claimed. o ************* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * »***********£ FRIDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WJZ—Hookup 7:30 pm.
