Don't be one of those who will, neglect to vote Thursday and then] complain about the conduct of as I fairs. Uklahoma City has an awful ■ tim**with her oil gushers but we refuse to feel sorry for them as < long as they keep right on drilling j them in the heart of the business district. Just about ten days more to get the 19,",1 automobile license tags pinned on to the machine. After that orders are to show no lenit ncy. It has to be done so you may as well smile. Tin re will probably be a special session of congress in the spring to provide fuel for the needy and then because summer will be near the committee can just mark time. What a joke it all is" It is the duty of every good citizen entitl'd to suffrage to go to the polls Thursday and cast their vote for representative. Under th j constitution the governor was man dated to call the election ami th sheriffs of the counties also were forced to order the election. Any way we should be represented at* a time when the entire taxing methods may be changed. Virgil Simmons is an excell nt lawyer, a business man of experience, the son of Attorney and Mrs. Abram Simmons, pioneers of Bluff ton. He knows the conditions and the desires of th? people of Adams and Wt Ils counties and he has the

knowledge of how bills become I laws and the acquaintance of al-' most every one in the legislature. He is qualified to serve you and should have your vote. Koger Babson says the next two months will be the best time you will have in years to buy the things you need. All prices are now at the lowest level and with spring will, come a general Improvement thaQwill make you pay more for what you want whether it be a farm, a home in the city, automobile, furniture, live stock or Wall strict stock, clothing or any thing else. Now is th,e time to buy. There will be nothing gain l d if the legislature pusses a lot of new tax laws unless the money thus MILLIONSof mothers ■mi

raised is distributed among the counties. Thats where the rub is The greater part of our taxes is used for roads, bridge and school , purposes and reducing the general cost of county and state govem- ' ment will not make much differ* t ence in the rate. Unless some . means of taxing is developed other r than what we have now the increase will have to be quite notice- ! able after the next appraisement of ) real (slate for that is bound to ! show a large reduction. ''l- 11 HI ■“*** [ There is no argument that it th" h government can enforce the liquor I laws it will be best for every one but just how they are to do that Is still something that even th? wisest member of the Wickersham • committee dm sli t seem sure about. In the meantime the beer barons . and whiskey distillers will continue to laugh at the enforcement offfters. We don't seem to have gotten far as a result of the twenty months lof study, observation ami thought by the special commission. Its a i serious problem and will probably ■ get more serious before it is solved I correctly. — — ; (’anful thought should be given ; the proposal to aboflsh the state j highway commission. Perhaps an ■all-time hoard would improve couIditions and get us more for our money but so far We have not heard any proof that the present commission is not functioning fairly well. Certain it is that Indiana lias a fine road system and that we don't owe a dollar. As stated there may be ways to improve the present conditions and we think there | have been numerous cases in which money was wasted hut we should be careful not to get a system that would prove I ss efficient and more expensive. We are hoping that the federal court and ‘the officials of the Decatur sugar mill decide to continue operating it for past experience has made every one appreciate the good of tliis industry for the community. During the past year it ■was the life saver and the same thing has occurred several seasons in the past. It provides an additional crop for the farmers, labor for many and a general betterment in every way. If there is any way i the people here can assist the com pany we are sure that aid will be given gladly. The past few years have been unusually difficult ones for the owners and managers but they have proven a game lot of men. working at a big enterprise in a big way.
