The state is , broke and at least one of the , is the inefficiency in gov- ; -ernmqnt. , The following is from the Fort ( Wayne News-Sentinel, leading re- t publican paper of northeastern In- ; dianarT I "You needn't wonder why ; your state taxes are high. All .< you need to do. in order to find the reason, is to consider the £ eaSb 1 of the inter-state bridge j at Evansville. When that bridge, connecting Indiana and Kentucky. has been built and paid for. it will have cost the people of this state something ( over $2,000,000 in good hard cash. But by the operation of a system of Kentucky-collected tolls, it will not have cost the | people of that state a "lousy" cent. In other words, our own state has handed out *2.000,- * 000 of the taxpayers' money t "like nobody’s business.” Due to a change in the course of the Ohio, the land at the "Indiana 1 end” of the bridge is Ken- ; tncky territory. The bridge itsself and Ihe approaches on the Evansville side will be wholly 1 in Kentucky. In other words, ] our officials have compelled , the people of Indiana to make the people of Kentucky a nice $2,000,000 present —the present of a bridge over which we will , have no jurisdiction or control. Moreover, Hoosier motorists will almost certainly pay the biggest share of the tolls that will go to reimburse the Kentucky treasury. And it is probable that Indiana people will be called upon to help maintain the bridge in good condition after it has been magna-

• ♦ — — —-a TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (U.R) ♦ Llangollen, North Wales.— ; I Every man in the village of Pentredwr, near here. Is married and unemployed, and sevI eral of them have had no work I for two years. animously delivered to the sister state. Pretty smooth these Kentuckians!” You have heard of" Who's Who” ' but have you ever heard of" Who's Hoodlum?” The crime body of Chicago, has just publishea a list of undesirable citizens whom they term public nuisances because they are constantly in conflict with the law- and the list is headed by none other than Al Capone. If Mr. Loesch can figure out some method of getting rid of the outfit he will no doubt do a valuable service for Chicago and while doing it why not ship them to some foreign land so tai distant that it will take them a decade to get back? Perhaps by tiiat time we will have regained control of affairs and will knowhow to handle criminals who stop at nothing to accomplish their desires. The town of Berne shows a gain of 316 in population the past ten years, a healthy growth that will not be found in many of the smaller towns of the state. It is due to the fact that Berne got busy and started factories to employ the young people. And aside from the growth in the number of people, this Adams county town is wonderful in many ways and boasts a large percentage of splendid citizens who live honest. Christian lives and who enjoy life in a clean and wholesome manner. We congratulate them for their excellent showing. The farmer who buys cattle now has as good a chance to make money as any one we know of. Just now the price is as low as it has been in some time but the market is on the upgrade and .experts declare it will so continue for some time. last fall the prices for milk and butterfat went down due to an over supply of butter in storage but that has dwindled now and as many dairymen sold a part of their herd, a shortage is expected. Looks like a good time to invest in good cattle. Clyde Bechdolt of Portland, who embezzled nearly SIOO,OOO says he began eight or nine years ago by forging a check for $1,500 and investing it in an oil well. He won $12,500 and when short followed similar tactics but lost. He must have suffered in mind all those years and now he is serving time in prison. Surely no one thinks such a course is worth while. Have you written a letter to I Congressman Vestal urging that he i keep a close watch on the appro- | priation for a Decatur postoffice building? Looks like we really i have a chance for it now but we won't be sure until the contract is let and they have begun to excavate. You can safely decide that when a tariff battle in a republican congress continues eighteen months, there is something wrong about it. I How interesting it would be to read the original and the final bills. They are scarcely enough alike to be called relation. Officials In the state fire marshall's office are alarmed over the great increase in rural sections the past few weeks. They recommend ami will urge better fire fighting facilities and fire proof buildings; and of course greater care all the time. It begins to look as though life in a state prison is not even a safe one. All over the country the riots continue and the results are serious for those unfortunate enough to be there. And so far no one has provided a remedy. Clean up time is here. Don't
