Qne thing sure we know the peddle of Adams county are not much concerned about Communism. There may be a few flare ups in the larger cities, but the people we-know around here are too sensible and too patriotic and peaceloving to get excited over these demonstrations. Byway of argument, you might ask what the other person thinks of the Literary Digest straw vote on the prohibition question. Already newspapers and individuals aro- finding fault with the system of gathering the vote, the distribution of the ballots and it sounds very familiar around a newspaper office. The 40,000 Chicago employes re- \ reived their first check for sal- i aries and wages yesterday, the ' first since before Christmas. The 1 citizens committee has raised about I fifty million dollars with which to I operate the city government and | if nothing happens in the meanHme, the employes and city school teachers will continue to receive their pay checks monthly. We're not so old, but we can remember when republican papers made political whoopee out of the fact that there was unemployment immediately after the war. which period of time was during the Wilson administration. Now congress and the cabinet have taken up the matter and one would think that it was a person's own fault to be out of a job. Today, Ash Wednesday, marks the opening of the Lenten season. L nt is a period observed by the churches in preparation for the joyful foast of Easter, which commemorates Christ's Resurrection from the tomb. For the next six weeks several of the churches will hold special services and it's a good tim eto give heed to spiritual things and enter into the spirit of the season. Russia is due for a down fall and it will come as sure as the sun shines today. You cannot destroy religion, ravage churches and operate on an Atheist code without feeling the hand of God sooner or later. We wouldn't live in Russia for all the gold and fur business in the vast empire and have an inkling that about half of the population there would be glad to get away if they could. Th» Soviet’s plan will never work and revolution or civil war will be the outgrowth. I Raleigh I’. Hale, former mayor of East Chicago, was sentenced to serve two years in prison ami fined

With the mayor, his chief of police, and two detectives, members of the city police ’ department, were also sentenced to I , similar terms and fined $2 000 and SSOO. Mayor Hale was indicted and 1 convicted of the charge of lending protection and accepting bribes 1 from those who violated the prohibition law, either by sale or operation. All kinds of charges were hurled at the mayor and apparently East Chicago is a wild place. Mayor Hale is me second Indiana mayor to go wrong the case of Lloyd S. Crouch, Columbia City, being disposed of last week. If the job has anything to do with it, we would rather not have it, prefering the spring breezes around here to those of Atlanta. Gross collections of $16,824,132.44 as gasoline fees in Indiana for the year ending with February represented two months at 3 cents a gallon and ten months at 4 cents. Os the money collected $11,797,103 goes to the highway commission for roads and bridges, which gives the commission more money than any other state department. It is believed that fully $20,000,000 will be collected in gasoline fees this year. Part of the money gees to the counties on a basis of mileaige and another part on a populatibn basis. Cities and towns receive their share on a basis of population. Ravenswood, with a population of 5 in 1920. received $2.60 a year ago and $2.90 this year. Aetna, having a population of 42. received $24.32, Indianapolis got $181,924.50, and Fort Wayne $50,113.57. In the distribution of sl.032,868.02 to 506 cities and towns, twenty-eight of them received less than $100; 381 received less than SI,OOO each. The present cost of | concrete road paving, eighteen feet I width, averages $30,000 a mile, and the amounts distributed to cities | and towns would have built somejth ng over thirty miles. The towns i receiving less than SI,OOO can do i little except* make minor repairs. Adams county received $42,988.66 and Decatur $2,757.23 in the distribution of the state gas tax. o —— * ' J BIG FEATURES OF RADIO I i Wednesday's 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 1930 by UP WABC (CBS network) 7 p. m. cst. —Gen.
