Good luck to the Commodores. So this is the March lion they have been talking about. This is election day between the Standard Oil officials and the results will be known within a few hours. That March lion took several days in getting here, but once he got loose, we heard his roar. Four cents tax on every gallon of gasoline you purchase will acquaint you with the fact that the republican legislature met this year. Ex-President Calvin Coolidge lias contributed an article to a current magazine and will give an explanation of his famous statement, “I do not choose to run." We thought that had been explained, at least Mr. Hoover thought so when he threw his hat in the ring. Taxes are going to be sky high in Indiana this year and next >so get ready for the shock. The legislature has passed the bill which adds another cent tax to each gallon of gasoline, raising it is estimated, about five million dollars and another million will be taken in taxes for the state library. In addition to the special taxes added, more tljan four million dollars is needed for the general fund and when the legislature closes, how thankful everyone will be. President Hoover has announced that the special session of congress will be called about April 10. Farm relief ami revision of the tariff was scheduled as the main topics for consideration. but since Mr. Hoover made prohibition and law enforcement the paramount question in his inaugural address, these issues might be sidetracked for the later. Anyway after the special session Mr. Hoover will know that he has dealt with congress. If you were travelling in a foreign land, and saw our starry flag, you would be glad to feel that you belong to America, and that its long arm reaches out to protect your journeyings. Whenever yeti bear the national anthem played, you feel a thrill of pride, that you have a share in this land of achievement. Fine sentiments these. They should be paralleled by a similar!.' ardent feeling for the community in which you live. Your home town gives you daily bread, modern comforts, education for your children, cherished friendships. Let us love it dearly, defend it from unfair criticism, and go to work for its welfare. The city council has rendered a fine public service in taking steps towards the securing of a lower fire Insurance rate in Decatur. The councilmen and ih< citizens 100, feel chat Decatur is entitled to a lower general insurance rate. Improvements have been made at the water works, reservoir capacity has been increased, the lire department has been equipped with two modern fire pumpers, chemical outfits placed on the trucks, the water mains have been extended throughout the city and in general Decatur has forged ahead and is in a position to demand a lower rate. We have a capable and efficient lire

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Austin. Tex —(U.RI—A day in jail for every dollar of usurious interest charged is Rep. J. C. Duvall’s cure for loan sharks and sbylocksUnder the bill he introduced iu the Texas legislature, it would be usurious to charge more than ten percent. fighting department und the losses from fires over a period of ten years have been small. Within the last three years the loss has been one of the smallest in the state. We are going to keep it that way, if preparation has anything to do with eliminating hazards. We hope that the couucii is successful in its efforts to reduce the rate and in the re-classification of the city, which will bring about the reduction. Thomas Taggart, former United States senator, leader of the Democratic party in this state for twenty years and loved as a friend and fine gentleman, is dead. Death came peacefully at his home in Indianapolis Wednesday morning and his passing is recorded with a degree of sorrow sincerely felt, because those who knew Mr. Taggart, had no better friend in the world and they loved him because of his loyalty, honesty and unselfishness. Mr. Taggart was a man in the finer sense of the word. He loved mankind in general, cherished friendships and anyone who ever met him, no matter how casually, was always greeted with a warmness which reflected the fine spirit of the extraordinary gentleman, political leader and statesman. The Democratic party loses its best friend and as for democracy there will never be another Tom Taggart. Born in Ireland, he came to this country when a boy, started to work in a railway restaurant, soon demonstrated an usual tact in greeting people and remembering faces, became the manager and within a few years his rise was eminent. The city of Indianapolis called him to serve as its mayor and he was reelected three times to this position. He served as auditor of Marion county and, in 1916, was appointed by Governor Ralston, to succeed Senator Benjamin Shively as senator from Indiana. His short term in the United States senate brought out still further the sincerity of the great Hoosier leader. Through his unselfish spirit, fairness aud desire to serve, his friends were not limited to members of his own party. We bow our heads in sorrow over his death. We feel the loss of a cherished friend and grope for words to express our sincere sorrow. Tom Taggart was loved aud will be missed by all, '■.Mr. Taggaret was one of the best mayors Indianapolis ever had, as is now generally recognized. The great park which he made it possible for the city to acquire very fittingly bears his name. As auditor of Marion county he conducted his office with honesty and efficiency. While during his brief term in the United States senate, Mr. Taggart showed a grasp of national affairs and of governmental principles which was surprising to those who had thought of him only as a boss and political manipulator. He richly merited the respect iu which he was held by all men without distinction of party. “In private life Mr. Taggart was kindly and genial, loyal to friends and generous to enemies. He cherished no grudes and seemed incapable of hate. He had made his own way in the world—and-it was no easy way. Whatever his station in life he was always obliging and helpful. Such a man could not help making friends, and Mr. Taggart was richly endowed with them. Thoughtful for others, eager to serve all who needed help, he was the most unselfish of men.

This bill permits 40 per cent or more of the candidates of either party in a primary election to appoint a watcher and an alternate at each precinct polling place. Representative Lloyd D Claycombe Indianapolis, as usual leaped to the attack of the bill which he declared “would not curb fraud”, and would create additional cost for the candidatees". “Only machine politicians would oppose this measure", declared representative E3,i Huber, Evansville. “Those desiring clean elections will favor the bill.”
