This is the week when you —should start your Christmas Saving"pecount if you haven't done so. A quarter. a half, a dollar or more a week will bring you a nice check next December with interest. Santa Claus is some hustler, measured from the way he manages to jump from one radio station to ajicther these days. He hops I fronf Los Angeles to New York with stops almost simultaneous all along the line. The Delta Theta Tau ladies are pleased with the responses so far made for the Good Fellow club and hope this week to double the total amount. They are planning _a great Christmas for the poor children and are asking you to buy a dollars worth of stock in their -Christmas cheer company. Interested in Christmas? The Daily Demccrat all this week will 1 •< outain messages of great interest | -tbThe shoppers of this territory.' You can make up your list from i the advertisem nts of the Decatur J merchants. Watch for them all I this week and next. Arthur Brisbane suggests that the United States government could use the millions spent in maintainence of elabcrate palaces for ambassadors in various parts of the world in making improvements at home and thus employing some of the unemployed. Not such a bad idea, either. ~ Look your ten and twenty-dollar ' bills over carefully for it is reported that a flood of counterfeit currency in those amounts are now being circulated. That won’t be nearly so serious for most of us as though it was being worked on the dollar size. Just think of it, a de liar from •you and from a few hundred others will make scores of children happy on Christmas day. The best feeing in the world is that when we have helped some one else and in this season of joy, it is more important. Help the Good Fellows vlub along. "•* 1 When President Hoover said mean things abcut the senate he unwisely stirred up a hornets nest that he will find difficult to handle. He should have been more diplomatic for he has had considerable experience in public life and should know how touchy most of these hoys are. About all he. can do is to wield a big stick. Sinclair Lewis is over in Sweden, “shooting off” his usual line about the Main streets of America. Since he seems to dislike the home folks

over this way, wc are sure it wil be alright with most of them. If b< t just takes up his residence in any European country that te foolish I enough to cater to his cranky notions. » t At a meeting of the South Woods Community Association in Fort r r Wayne, Harry Hilgemann told the audience that the Decatur sugar plant had spent $65,000 to prevent j \ pollution of the St. .Marys river 3 while Fort Wayne hadn't invested 5 j a penny. He urged that steps be i taken there to meet the conditions > now so objectionable to citizens. | 1 I!-. Governor Leslie has appointed an agricultural credit commission to study farm financial problems , which may be alright if they don't spend six or eight years in studying. What we need is speed and action and most of us have lost faith in these committees and eonimissiciis which only meet and col- | lect their expenses and let the world struggle on. Indianapolis news writers predict that much time will be devoted in the coming legislative session to a discussion of the prohibition question, which seems to ns a lot iof waste ot time and energy. No difference what laws would be enacted. it wouldn't provide beer or wine for those who want it and there are some things rather important that ought to have the careful consideration of the law makers. There may be and no doubt are numerous objections to a sales and inccme tax in Indiana but until some better plans are offered to I relieve present burdens there will be much sentiment in favor of these radical forms of taxation. After all that tax which is easiest met is most satisfactory and there is no doubt that those who have large incomes can better and easier meet obligations to their county and state. Jfrlifiß. pld China, where they are supposed to be too dumb to retaliate, has taken measures to shut off American imports by boosting (he tax. About the werst thing that has happened to this country ‘in a half dozen decades was the passage of th° Hawley-Smoot tariff ' law. Things were not so good be- ! fore but no one will gainsay they | l ave been a lot worse since and I there seems to be no desire or in- | tention to correct it by the administration in power. Adams county has a road building limit cf about $200,000, divided among the various townships. Os course the more roads we build the more we must pay but it is well to remember that while doing that we employ labor and improve the basic value of every property in j the district. Needless to say a I number of miles will be constructed during 1931, petitions alreadyhaving been filed while others are I now being circulated. This is no time to stop improvements. Decatur has taken on a Christmas air and for the next three weeks there will be many holday displays ot one kind or another. The down town streets are beauti- . fully decorated with colored lights, there are Christmas trees and many beautiful shop windows, while the interior of the stores present as attractive appearance as we have ever seen. The best part < f it is that there are bargains I galore—the finest goods at the lowest prices you have been offered in many years. Various schools, churches, lodges and societies are planting Christmas entertainments and the happiest season of the year is cn. 0 — Afluinaldo to Be Guest i Columbia, Me.— <U.R) — General Emilio Aguinaldo, director of the Philippine Islands 30 years ago and a leader of the independence ’ movement in the Philippines, will t visit tin University of Missouri as . a guest of President Walter Williams next spring, according to an ’ announcement here.

FINANCESWILL I BE BIG PROBLEM — < I . I Legislative Groups to Dis- / cuss Taxation And , State Institutions Indianapolis, Dec. 15. —U.R) -The • dollar mark is going to be the big •' figure head in most of the nttmer- • ous spirited controversies facing the coming legislature. The progressive element, which will fight what it considers exces- / slve retrenchment, will be opposed , throughout the term in many highly important issues, by the group - which believes there has been a ; lot of fiddling, which must stop , while payments for the music are brought up to date. ( There probably will be a fight over modification of the state's prohibition law, and certainly there will be long, wearisome heckling over taxation, relief for state-aid ) schrols, old age pension, voter reg- ; istration, and salaries for county • officials. Not the least of the problems’to come before the session is that of I ; appropriations for state institutions and state schools. Although this is always a highly important measure, it appears that this year's appropriation bill will require more thought and .study dhan any other that has been presented for manyyears. Appropriation requests filed, or • intended to be filed with the state budget committee already total < more than $80,500,000, which would require a much greater levy for the general fund than has ever been set before. o j ■■ ».-»», i i. i.. —- m I TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY | From the Daily Democrat Fife | ; e •, December 15, 1910 — Governor Marshall advises members of new legislature to elect John W.
