We believe | it will prove a popular method of securing funds for a good cause. Stick your chin out and don't think every tiling has gone to the bow wows.

Just a couple of more days in which to get your license plates fir 1931 unless you want to argue it out with the state police and we warn you in advance that every thing is against you in such a debate. Secretary Mellon and Attorney General Mitchell have prepared an order which permits dentists to carry six- quarts of pure government made whiskey. Now if the Indiana boys will have the Wright dry law changed and use a few rages of advertising they can increase their business so rapidly they will never feel the depression. Harry Rowbottom, honored by the first district of Indiana and tent to congress, abused that privilege by selling jobs to his constituents. charging as muCi as $750 for a rural route carrier job. Now-he is under arrest, disgraced and-humiliated. Little sympathy will be extended to him for thus throwing away his great opportunity. linn- is a noticeable return ‘o the farms we are informed and before this year is over indications are. there will be a d maud that will cause prices of farm lands to increase.

$25,000,000 offered them by congressional resolution and that I shows wlsdow. This is an organ-. ization of the people and for them j and they do not want the strings always attached to federal busr' iness. When they need money they it must have it quickly and so far the people of the United States have r never failed them. They won’t now. I 0 The old age pension bill in the * legislature has been amended so * that It will be up to the county * commissioners and county council ) to decide whether or not they want I to take on this additional overhead. The probabilities are that before they are through they will kill the whole thing in the legis- > lature for it will take a lot of courage to enact laws which increase taxes this year. Now some one has the idea of merging Adams. Wells and Allen counties into one to save the cost of two sets of officers, which of .course will never happen. The deputies would draw as much money as the present officers and it would just occasion a lot of inconvenience for the citizens of the cutlying districts and besides the smaller we keep the units in most i instances the better we will all be i off in the long run. « ■■■■■■ Andrew Mellon doesn't like the soldier bonus proposition. He wouldn't nor do many other ‘■hardnosed'' citizens, but if the war debt were postponed three to five years and that money distributed among those who defended the Stars and Stripes it would undoubtedly help. One of the causes for depression is the fact that those who now luild the money are keeping it locked up. Any thing which will start circulation is sure to improve conditions and no one argues that we don't owe the World War veterans. We listened to Al Smith give an after-dinner talk to the New York Advertising club yesterday and was again impressed with his marvelous wisdom and we do not say that with any politics in mind for we doubt if that distinguished citizen would accept another nomination, but he is big 'enough to keep on saying what he thinks about public matters and in this case that included some very wise remarks concerning advertising and its good. There is no doubt that by that avenue alone will business come back to normal. Now here is about the only ''cheerful little earful" we have heard from the legislature — Senators Beckett and Huff liave introduced a measure which would require every tax making unit to reduce the budget twenty five per cent, for the next two years. Os course that might be hard to do in some cases but it certainly would tend to malf every one draw in their b It a little. There is no use talking we can't go on as we lutve without raising more money and its a tough job to get cash these days. o Butt-id in Stomach, Skil l Hurt Seattle, —(UP)—Butted in the stomach during a rough and tumble light Perle J.

TOURIST TRADE SHOWS BOOM IN NEW ORLEANS Business Slump Fails To Cut Down Winter Visitors ' United Press Stuff correspondent New Orleans, Jan. 27 —(UP) — I America may be in a period of tin-I aucial deptession—but it has net injured the tourist business here this winter according to a survey ot hotels. And even the night clubs an:l gambling casinos have regained normal business since the first of tne year, Franklin Moore, of the Roosevelt, and Pat O'Shaughnessy of the St. Charles, report business unusually good with well filled guest books al most every night. The Jung, Marberc, Bienville, Montleone and other of the hotels catering to tourists also report good business. Racing bets were not so good at Jefferson Park but fairgrounds have been crowded almost every day of the winter Season. The betting has been fairly heavy. Many of the hotel and case oper-; ators claim this season is better j than 1929. The crowds of tourists from the north are expected, however, to invade New Orleans in earnest during February for the Mardi Gras season. Mardi Gras starts Februaiy 17 this year, but tourists will remain until tlie middle of March, when the racing closes. Despite efforts of prohibition and customs agents to cut off the supply of liquor into New Orleans, almost any brand of intoxicant one could desire was said to be obtainable without two much effort. Because of competition, prices ot I liquor were cheaper here this sea- I son, than for many past, it was said j lAllebedly imported Scotch was said to be selling for $4 a fifth. SEVEN BILLS APPROVED BY SENATE TODAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) which placed final jurisdiction of i misdemeanor appeals in the ap- ; peUate court, was upheld by the I Indiana supreme court today.

Rodgers, tire dealer of Evansville, and Omer Manlove, highway department garage super- ■ intendent, were to be called before ‘ the committee to answer questions regarding the annual tire , letting last October. i Shifting of tlie investigation to j purchasing by the department, I gave tlie matter a new turn. The resolution introduced by Strey ; calling for investigation asked that tlie committee be appointed to delve into failure to collect federal I highway funds. “We are not confined In this matter to any one thing," Strey I explained. — Want Indiana Coal Used Indianapolis, Jan. 29—flj.R)—Vse ——— ’ “ ■ I ■■■ii H.
