The cost of the convention with the ratifying vote • would be approximately sl,- • 5 .000. ,2. There is no point in the argument that because the constitution is sixty years old it is antiquated. The constitution of the United States is 150 years olu and still stands , as a model for free govern- • ment. 3. Tax reform, which advo- • cates of th? convention declare wwuld be accomplished through the agency of a convention, can be obtained by legislative measures that are wholly within the scope oL the state constitution. Instead of relieving tfje tax burden a convention would only add $1,500,000 to tin? state budget of expense. 4. There is little likelihood in i vent a new constitution were written and submitted to the people for ratification that it would be approved, and, if it were rejected, all the effort and xpense involved by th ■ constitution would be lost. 5. Any changes in the constitution that the people believe should be made may ba obtained by amendments without the expens? and risks of a convention. 6. The experience of popular vote on amendments in the past clearly indicates that the great majority of Indiana people are satisfied with the present constitution. ,7. Relief for taxation on real estate may lie obtained either by a state income tax or by excise tax such as the gasoline tax, without in any way violating the pr sent constitution. If you will read the present constitution or r carefully, you will probably agree with Mr. Gilliom. We talked to a man who happened into a little town of oniy a couple of hundred population just a few miles from here the other evening and was surprised to see the streets lined with cars and the stores filleel with people. He asked if it was a special occasion and was told it was an almost every night occurrance and that a big-' ger surprise was that many of the people did not come in until nine 2 Glasses Water, Not Too Cold, Help Constipation One glass water is not enoughtake 2 glasses a half hour before breakfast.

If " TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (UJD ♦ Aberdeen. — William Guyan, unemployed, gladly took a job as fireman on the trawler | George Aunger. He wan washj ed overboard and drowned a few hours later when the ship went aground. . g. ' ... ♦ and that from that hour until eleven o'clock was the busiest time of the day. Thats a very incou- > venient arrangement it would seem and is given as information rather than suggestion. A circulating library as is being, planned by Mrs. Frank Downs of this city will be a very popular inovation we are sure and indications are that the efforts toward! that end will be successful. Petitions are now being circulated and will be presented to the board of county commissioners for their approval. It will provide the best books for all citizens of the county. Wes Ratliff, prosecutor down at Newcastle, Indiana, disappeared. While he was gone, his wife filed suit for divorce and proceedure was begun to oust him from office- He was found along the road, with his hands tied behind him and somewhat battered up but that hasn’t changed sentiment in his favor so reading between thp lines there must be something that is being held back. It may be out of order but we can't help saying that whether we have daylight saving or whether we don't, it would be a wise and profitable thing to keep the stores open an evening or two during the week. Wp have watched this in a number of towns this size aud don’t know of a one in which every one is not pleased. If a hundred men would say “times are good’’ it would be surprising how much difference it would make in any community and if five or ten times insisted upon it, there would be nothing to it. Aft-r all much of the trouble is imaginary. There is just as much money in the country but when every one becomes pessimistic the circulation is not quite so good. Why not try it. President Hoover is trying Ms ability as a driver of congress. Few have been able to do it successfully. Roosevelt did and Wilson did the first six yie-ars of his eight in office when he lost the majority. He is threatening to call a special session unless his pet measure, the naval treaty, is acted upon. Watch and wait. The tariff law after sixteen months of wrangling seems to be unsatisfactory to about every one concerned. Even th© moat enthusiastic seem to applaud but halt h artedly when they have a chance. It seems to take more than the naval treaty, tariff waterways and other incidentals to prevent President Hoov?r enjoying his week-end fishing party. It must be quite a thrill for those invited. The United States treasury says the per capita circulation of money in this country is $37. which is only two dollars less than a year ago, so its not as bad as some people think it is. Huntington says business is practically as good as last year with only forty-six less employed. Thats the kind of dope to send ou.t Its refreshing to learn that both political parties in Indiana have finally awakened to the fact that Citizens are burdened with taxes, j We may get some where now. . o , Packet Race Assured Cincinnati, — (UP) — The Ohio i River packet race, which has be- • come an annual classic, has been i assured for this year with the mat- ■ ching of the Tom Greene, presen' I title holder, and Captain W. E ■ Roe's boat. John W. Hubbard. Tl'.o . race will be run June 7 over a 22mile course.

CHICAGO CAMERA CLUB CLAMORS FOR ART RATING Varied Exhibition of Masterpieces of Lens and Shutter Shown Chicago, May 26 -(UP) —To the three fine arts as exemplified by the master touch of the sculptor's chiseifl the deft daub of the painter? brush and the virtuoso's puli of a resined how across violin strings, must be added the chemical reproduction of things as they are on sensitied photographic paper. say sponsors of the Chicago Camera Club's third international salon of pictorial photography. Realistic evidence to back their contentions hangs on the walls of the Chicago Art Institute. In raising photography to the rank of at least the camera men have chosen almost the same subjects as their brothers of the palette and mallet. From the photograph of a red cabbage that to all appearances is just that, to posed nudes in symbolic attitudes, the gallery runs the same gamut of subjects that may be seen on the neighboring corridors given to painting and sculpture of the first order. Chief in the circles of discussion is the “Countess R” who may be a titled woman, if you believe one faction, or a Gold Coast debutante, if you hold with another, or a working girl, if you agree with the cynics. Dr. Maximilian Kern, a Chicagoan, snapped the picture but imparts no more information. It is a likeness of a girl's head and as far as the native Chicagan is concerned might be the picture of any one of a hundred girls to be seen on the Boul Mich. Privately, viewers say the Countess title was for purposes of distinction and ap-. parently it worked for they say it was refused admittance to the Pittsburgh salon and two others. Then, too the inevitable nudes come in for much comment. "Composition," by C. B. Seifert, Toledo, tops the list of nudes for both discusiou and popularity. The title is lost o nthe layman for it appears as nothing more than a nude girl balancing a hoop on her
