The certain way to reduce taxes is to cut down ex-

penditures. Every taxing unit has many items, of course, on which it can not economize. Indianapolis, for example, starts each year with a rTffinite and iniscapable charge tor interest on bonded debt — and that is a large item in the total of municipal expenditures. There are other items that could not be pared materially without interfering with the efficiency of public service. Economy could come in keeping down increases in expenditures as well as in lopping off needless activities. Every taxing unit in the state has been on a spending spree in recent years. There has been a tendency to appropriate money and to go into debt for improvements. Most of them have been desirable and probably could not he classed as luxuries ev°n if not quite in the category of necessities. But the disposition has been to be liberal and to be progressive even to the point of extravagance. The taxing system of the state is unsatisfactory and should be rewtedied. The burden should be distributed mere equitably than at present, although it is not quite plain just how that desirable end is to be attained. Regardless of how the money is raised, it will come out of the people and the total should be kept as low as possible. The taxing authorities can cut taxes by spending less, even while a search is being made for a better plan than the present for getting the money required.— Indianapolis Star. The general fit id superintendent ct the Holland-St. Louis Sugar Company informs us that the outlook for a big crop of beets is the best it has been in years in this territory and they are planning for

Tonight: Get Rid of BURNING FEET The New Right Wav THE ENGLISH WAY To take out the agony — banish a’l burning, aches and soreness — try the new 1930 way and in 15 to 20 minutes your foot troubles are over. Just put two tablespoonfuls of Radox in .a gallon of hot water and soak your feet for 20 minutes — you never had such a joyous, invigorating foot bath in all your life—yon can just feel all the acid and poisons coming out of the stuffed up pores of your poor feet. Do this tonight and tomorrow your feet will be so strong ami sturdy and vigorous that you can walk, all day long without discomfort. Jfs the oxygen in Radox that gets into the thousands of pores of your feet and chases out the poisons that have accumulated there for years—it’s these acids and poisohs that make your feet aclte and burn and nothing in the would will get them out but Radox. Ybu can get a package of Radox at Die Cut Rate Drug Co. or any good drugstore—it is inexpensive and.if it doesn’t put new life and vigot into and bring blessed comfort to your distressed feet — money back.

L -♦ TODAY’S CHUCKLE • (U.ft) 4 Roy, Mont. — Fuclor at the massive four wheelgji beast which had crushed its prize I collection of rattles, a vicious rattlesnake first struck at and then wrapped itself around the engine of Otto Bahlen's truck | on the Cut Hank-Valier road | recently. It was killed. »- .. , 4 one of the best runs in the plant here since the big mill opened eighteen years ago. Thata news that cheers every citizen here for it means something to have a long and successful run at the sugar plant, money for the farmers, employment of 250 or 300 people and a profit all around. Thats the kind of relief the rural sections need. We are sure hoping that nothing will interfere to change the picture. Two Lake county men went to Indianapolis yesterday, admitted they had imported forty women from Chicago and voted them in about every precinct in Gary in the recent primaries and asked immunity. They ought to have it I but not until they have served the limit the law provides. It will at least give us an opportunity to see

how serious an offense the courts think it is to corrupt the ballot box. The state highway commission < must feel rather disgusted with the seven miles on No. 27 just north 1 of this city. Each year they pile new stone on, only to have it kicked off in a few days. Wonder why they don’t do something that will preserve and improve it? A top dressing of asphalt might help ♦ considerable. General Herbert M. Lord, former 1 director of the national budget, who died at his home in Washington yesterday was one of the greatest business experts of this country where there are thousands , of first class ones. He was careful, conservative, but unafraid, i qualities needed to make winners in the big field in this age. The recent decisions in the In- ‘ diana Supreme court relating to school house contracts on the lease < basis has caused considerable , trouble in various counties of the • state and especially in those where the buildings have been erected ; and bonds issued. Allen county has several situations of this kind. ' The state tax association is urg- , ing tax reductions over the state and thats fine but difficult to do when we have to build schools, roads and bridges. We must do without improvements or be willing to pay for them, one of the two. Peru is to have a new hotel to cost $300,000 which will help in various ways. It will provide a very necessary convenience to that growing city and will provide employment for a number who will

aid in its construction. Angola wants a higher water rate which seems funny when they have more lakes there than any county in the state. Looks like if any thing would be cheap up in Steuben it would be water. Joe Grundy could have had more fun with that $300,000 than he did in spending it in a futile campaign in Pennsylvania and by the way we haven’t heard much from him since the returns came in. What this country needs right now more than any thing else we have heard of is a gentle, warm rain for about twenty-four hours. Otherwise every thing on the farm looks pretty good. o Card of Thanks I wish to ’hank my neighbors and friend ~ the minister and others who so kimlly assisted us during the illness and death of Mrs. Carrie Gephart.
