Remember the Industrial banquet next Monday evening at the K. of t hall, when plans for helping Decatur will be discussed and when a vote is to be taken on the daylight saving time proposal. Better be there. Fort Wayne will have a forty-five million dol’ar bank with the consolidation of the Firs- National and the ►Tri State Loan and Trust, keeping up with the growth of that city and making pos: idle bigger and better tings for their community. Judge I’attee of the St. Joseph court sentenced a burglar to twenty-five years in prison and lectured those who gathered to hear his decision on extending sympathy to burglars and bandits. He is right. If we would stop lawlessness we must have speedy and real punishments for the offenders. Mr. Dawes landed the London job and will soon make his upside-down pipe as popular there as it is here. He can perhaps work up some kind of a compromise trade with the tea hounds. Seriously he should prove a real ambassador for he is a regular fellow in every way and is one of the wise ones on international affairs. We haven't the least idea how the new proposed farm relief law will really work out but with a revolving fund of $500,000,000 some one should benefit Rather difficult to put that much money in new lines of circulation without some one getting more than his share. We hope it proves a solution of the farm problem. Thomas Heflin, Jr. evidently does not agree with h's father on every question, at least his actions and words on the boat from Panama recently and after landing in New York would indicate that. Now explanations are coming and the elder Heflin is accusing enemies for leading his son off. Probably not, but a sad and serious incident nevertheless.' Boost the beet club. It will bv a splendid thing for everyone who joins it and will aid in securing tilt desired acreage here. Remember that under the new contract now offered, it should be easy for those engaged in beet raising to make a larger profit than in any other method of farming. Have your boys and girls join this club. Th- company is supporting it in a splendid way. Lets do our part. Vice-President Curtis is stirring up a big fuss about the status of his sister in Washington society, desiring that when they line up she take a place next to the president's wife, rather than al. th” foot of the reception committee. Most folks don't care and we are sure, feel that the vicepresident and the secretary of state should fiud something more important do or resign. If a club of two or three hundred youngsters to plan an acre of beets each in Adams county could be secured and the movement extended to several other counties it would help to make the acreage campaign a success. The company Is making a liberal offer along this line and we believe a little pep back of it would put it over here in fine shape, mean the production of a lot of beets and pro-

While Indiana is acclimating itself to a higher gasoline tax which was voted by the legislature and legalized by the governor against the desires of tile majority other states are having their troubles. New York and Illinois have experienced difficulty in applying the gasoline tax principle to their highway construction financing problems. The legislature of the former state has just passed a bill which provides for a tax of two cents a gallon after a previous bill was held unconstitutional by a technical error. In Illinois a gasoline tax law was nullified by the courts on technical grounds and the legislature has to re-enact the legislation. In Indiana the protest is against misuse of the gasoiipe tax principle. Because a gasoline tax had justified itself as a comparatively painless revenue, raising method legislators in this and other states are assuming that it can be used without impunity to finance highway construction schemes whose value is doubtful. They fail to give due consideration to the fact that the gasoline tax has been effective and popular thus far simply because Unpeople found that payment entai'ed little or no hardship. Every time the tax is increased, however, the people feel it more. The citizens of Indiana who pays 40 cents tax on ten gallons of gasoline in order to finance a $40.oon.pffo highway cdhstructlon program in two years feels that the limit has been passed. The gasoline tax is losing its popularity in this'State, bu: this fact probably does not weigh heavily on legislators who are more susceptible to the wishes of the rural sections and the paving material com-
