PAYING FOR “DEAD HORSES' The taxpayers of Marion county have been assessed 52.626,650 in interest on the courthouse bonds in the last sixty years. The building was erected at a total cost of $1,411,524.06, of which $950,000 was raised by a bond issue in 1870. The original rate of interest was 10 per cent and the present rate on the balance of SIBO,000 is 3% per cent. The county board plans to clean the slate next year. It was not practicable to pay cash when the structure was erected back in the seventies. Thd county commissioners very properly took the stand that the cost should be spread over a period of years. But the necessity for deferring payment did not change the tact that the pay-as-you-go system is the cheapest in the end. Interest is one of the fixed charges that bear heavily on the taxpayers in most political units of this country. Indiana is especially fortunate in having a constitution that does not permit bonding the state for all manner of improvements. That restriction may hamper the ambitious who are in a hurry for new roads or some other apparent necessity, but it is a life-saver to the property owner. It has forced for example, the’ construction of highways through money obtained from gasoline, taxes and has necessitated other pay-as-you-go programs that have tended to keep down expenditures and relieved posterity of a huge burden of debt. Consider, for example, the case of Illinois. That state has approximately $100,000,000 debt for good roads, while Indiana owes nothing for highways. it few years from now our neighbors will be confronted with a bill for $100,000,000 for roads that have been worn out and need replacement. And meantime they will have been paying $4,000,000 or more a year for interest on that debt. Indiana will have just as good roads as its neighbor and avoid all but the first cost. —■ Indianapolis Star. Dr. Hubert Work, the man who managed Ms. Hoover's campaign and who probably put out some promises to various folks who aided him, has quit the job of chairman of the republican committee because he has not been able to control any of the patronage. Os course when he made the promise of jobs he was in good faith and when he fails to deliver he is somewhat of a “goat." He and Mabie seem to have been in much the same boat. If will be interesting to watch Mr. Hoover's bumps however when he gets ready to plan for a renomination. Planning a vacation? Why not ntay in Indiana? If you have never seen Brown county, 'the Glades, Turkey Run, the Ohio river, Wawasee, Lake James, the Dunnes or many other real places of interest in your own state, you will enjoy it and if you have we are sure you will find pleasure in returning. No state has more <|el(ghtful summer camps than this old Hoosierdom and there Is little need to travel hundred or thousands of miles. Colonel Lindbergh is about as talkative as Mr. Coolidge, recently president of these United Sttaes. Lindy, who has been honeymooning on a

He was sentenced to prison for cruelty to animals. The sixty-third annual meeting of the Old Settler’s association of LaGrange county will be held at LaGrange June 13th and a program of merit and interest has been arranged. A similar day held in connection with the Agricultural Fair to be given here in September might prove popular At least its worth the serious consideration of the program committee. The mid-summer meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association is on at Lake James today and tomorrow with a program of Interest. A banquet tonight, a boat ride and auto tour tomorrow, a speech «by Hon. Fred VanNuys of Indianapolis and a real outing.

A New York Chinaman got Bick the other day and his life was saved by two pints of blood from an Irishman.
