A bright sun shiny morning, cool enough to make you feel good and just the kind of day to revive the old fashioned fighting spirit. Up in Alaska yesterday the temperature dropped to 26, it snowed and the birds started, on their flight south. Makes you think winter is coming. The Watkins and Bamberger babies have been exchanged again and if the barter keeps up the little tots won't know who their parents are. The quarrel between "Ma” Kennedy and daughter Aimee Semple McPherson may be another attempt at obtaining free publicity, but to the country it's a disgusting affair. How Aimee holds her converts at the temple is more than some people can understand. Former Governor Smith is not making an idle boast when he predicts that the Democrat party will be returned to power. The prosperity issue, so flagrantly used in past elections, seems to be a boomarang now and the public will de-

mand a change. Indications are ‘ that it will be n cessary to increase the income tax rate next year, but since that doesn't affect many of us this year why worry about it. A fall off in earning of ali businesses this year indicates that the raise in rates will come, in order that the national government can pay expenses. Foimer Senator James Hamilton Lewis proved his mastery as an orator and thinker at the state democratic convention in Illinois this week. He spoke in words that were understood and is out to win The race between him and Ruth Hanna McCormick will be one of the most interesting in the history of the state. A Hammond woman had $1,200 in a bank and thinking that the "stocking bank” would be a safe place for it, withdrew the money and took it home. Robbers entered her home during the night and forced her to reveal where the money was and made their getaway. No chance now to get any of it back. Another prospective heir to the British throne was born yesterday, a daughter to the Duke and Duchess of York. In the line of succession the little Miss might become ruler of the British Empire in the next 100 years and apparently there is no danger of the coun try running out of someone to succeed King George. The Prince of Wales is the next in line. At Shelbyville the civil city’s tax rate is $1.07 for 1930, which tc us seems pretty high, comparer with Decatur's present rate of 71 cents on the hundred dollars. It

TO DAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ CU.R> 4 Thorne, Eng.—Jack, a dog, collected 2,500 pennies for hospitals and died of verdigris poisoning caused by the coppers be carried in his mouth. the Shelbyville rate 19.8 cents is included for the city's light and water plant fund, which helps to boost the levy. In Decatur no such levy is made, the city plant paying its own bonds out of earnings. The state supreme court has ruled that Gifford Pinchot is the legally nominated republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania. Now all that colorful and able gentleman needs to do to insure his election is to line up the members of his own party, who have made prohibition an issue, while he himself is known as a dry, to some extent a reformer and an independent in politics. It might not be so easy for him to win, although chances are more than favorable in view of the million or more republican majority in the Keystone state. While this is the season when taxes and governmental expenses are discussed, it’s pleasing to note that in several of the townships worth-while reductions in the township levies for next year are being made. In Jefferson township the proposed rate is reduced 49 cents on the hundred dollars and expenses have been cut accordingly. Other townships, namely Blue Creek has a 15 cent reduction and Root township six cents. These reductions, which mean a saving to the farmer and taxpayer will be appreciated and show efficient administration of township affairs. The governor of Florida is now mixed up in the Jack Zuta correspondence, which has been uncovered since the former gangster was murdered. It seems that Zuta and his crowd were on friendly terms with the southern governor and from the amount of gambling, (log and horse racing reputed to be going on in the state during the winter months someone must have been close to the throne. Those safety deposit boxes which were seized by authorities in Illinois are revealing a lot of stuff and from what has already been given out, a person is lead to believe that the gangsters, civil authorities and policemen had an understanding about the whole mess.
