Now if that fellow could devise '■ away to coax the fish to take the b bait, he'll have a big time this spring. a — V The deputy sheriff who shot and t killed Mrs. Joseph DeKing of Aurora, ji Illinois, in a raid on the DeKing home, s is to be held for manslaughter. It c was a slaughter alright and we don't t' see why it has taken this long to decide if anyone was guilty of crime. “ When the home is invaded and the mother shot down, as in the case of the Aurora murder, officials who pretend to enforce and uphold the law, - are guilty of crime and should be t punished. • ■ __i c For the information of those papers £ over the state which have been re- v ferring to the sentence given to the ’ four bank bandits by the local court tas one of the first convictions under the new- Hartzell banditry law, per- ' < mit us to state that the bandits were not sentenced under this law. The i men were sentenced under the 1927 bank robbery law, which provides sentences of life imprisonment or any number of years which the court deems expedient in demanding punishment for the crime. We don't believe it makes much difference, for 20 years I. is 20 years and those having the sen- g fences to serve will agree with that. That extra cent per gallon for gaso- 1 c line which you have been paying ( since April 1, is the tax placed on this commodity by the legislature as < one of the means of increasing the revenue fior the state highway depart- ’ ment. It is estimated that the one cent increase, which makes the gas < tax four cents per gallon, will raise 1 between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 for j road building. At an average cost of $20,090 per mile this ought to mean ' i about 250 miles of extra pavement

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Lynn. Mass. — (UP)—A restaurant proprietor complanied to police here that high school girls were coming to his case every day at noon aud bringing their own lunches, a practice which he declared in restraint of trade. this year aud a few years of road construction under that program would soon see all the state roads improved. The city council has complied with all the requests of the Indiana inspection bureau, in the program to have the general insurance rate reduced in Decatur. The tireproof shingle ordinance is now a law. the extra telephone has been lustalled in the fire department and an additional 1,000 feet of new tire hose has been purchased. In all other respects, Decatur had ample fire lighting facilities to entitle it to a lower rate. The inspection bureau, in a letter to Orval Harruff, city engineer, has assured city offcials, that the reduced rate will be effective, July 1 and the citizens of Decatur will be duly appreciative of the saving. The highway commission, which acts as prosecuting attorney, judge and jury in the case of its director, John D. Williams, has made its charges against the director more specific. These specific charges are not impressive. Mostly the allegations are questions of fact as well as of policy, and Williams has a right to be heard One of the most difficult things to understand is the commission's attitude toward Williams. Only one of the specific charges is of recent date, and that is the allegation that Williams *vas arbitrary in failing to resign when the commission asked for his resignation. The other charges date back over a long period. If Williams was guilty of all these acts it is strange that the commission did not demand his resignation sooner, rather than wait until Governor Leslie took a hand in the matter. If the commissioners knew so much about Williams and were ■ iscious of his acts day after day they could have taken a position on high ground without being chased there by force of circumstances. The whole complaint against Williams gives the public the impression that the commissioners, acting under orders, have been trying to unearth something of a nature that would give their demand some semblance of standing when they sit as a court. It is strange as well that if Williams is so unfaithful to his duty two or three other important state jobs were offered him if he would resign quietly and turn the highway commission over to those who desired to use it. —Indianapolis News. o ...
