Its a little harder to do tha-n in some eras of the past but its more important now than ever. Four weeks more of the legislature. Not a very long time but ” plenty in which to enact some helpful acts or some that will cause great burdens. Its a kind of a lot terjj and the people always breath a little easier when its over. We doubt if Al Capone had any thing to do with the faro game in which Mrs. BlacKlldge lost fifty thousand dollars and her job. " That's pin money for Capone and he is too busy staying out of the limelight to thus expose himself. When you provid a job for some one you are doing that person tingreatest kindness you can bestow. It is far better than any form of charity for besides providing the — necessities for a living you are at tff? same time putting hope and cheer into the heart of a citizen .... and that's important. - ~ 2- v cn newspapers seen to be <»»* fepjing the depression. John C. SWlff r, owner of the Indiana Star league has been forced to give up hfc pet journal, the Chicago Eve- - rrtiiic Post, which he has conducted • - fdT more than thirty years and he frankly admits that continued losses are the cause. '' \Ve are not worrying about an income tax law. If we can earn n enough to come within the require- .. ments we are not going to cry about paying some of it to the government which permits us to do ' that.

If _ those in distress have to wait on ‘ congress they will starve and ” freeze and die before they get it. Don’t let such an organization as * ’ the Red Cross be abolished or every one will regret it. Give something to the drought relief fund now being raised.

For only three dollars a year, less than one cent per day, you can t secure the news. We will not let down in our efforts to provide you the very best paper we can and ask your continued support with / the firm belief that we can give 1 you more than you pay for. r r This is the last day of grace for automobile owners who have not I i secured their 1931 licenses and J from what can be seen there are > still a few who have not attended ? to this important duty. Don't put 1 it off longer. Go down and get * your Her nse tags and put them on the car. It may save you money for the state authorities will insist (n the penalty for those who do not follow the law from this date on. - - We all felt the railroads and the steamships, then the telephone and the cable had drawn the world close together, but none of these have made the world seem as small . as does the radio. Next Thursday Pope Pius XI will broadcast to the world and his message will be eagerly listened to by millions, this being the first time his voice has eves been heard thus. We are receiving numerous let- j ters for our “Voice of the People” [ column and we appreciate them, j There is nothing more helpful than I tlie expression of opinions by the people of a community. Whether they agree or not is unimportant for after all most good results come from compromises and it is interesting to know your" ideas. Send them in. Sign your name which will not be used if you so request. “Give a neighbor a job' is the heading of an appeal made by the local Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with President Hoover's emergency committee for employment and certainly it is a thought worth considering and then following. If you have something to be done and know of some worthy man or woman out of work. have it done' now. Every one believes conditions will improve ill the spring and that work will be more plentiful but its now that many honest and worthy folks are having a struggle to make ends meet. Help them now when it counts most. Community sales help the people of this locality. Business men tell us they notice the difference in crowds on these occasions, feel it in their trade and wish we could have them each week. Farmers appreciate the opportunity to thus dispose of their property, buy what they need and get a line on values. It may be interesting to know- that the young men who have been conducting the sales here have not , shown a profit except that which ' has been put back into the business. They are good boosters who I believe that when people are trad-1 ing and selling, the general con-1 i diticns are better and of course ■ . that's right. Every one can well I afford to get back of these sales and help make ihem even more successful than they have been. Q JS fl In The Legislature 50 Years Ago By United Press [ g ® ■ Simplification of control and | > management of the three state I j schools, as well as economy in I j maintenance, was one of the prob- ’ lems confronting legislators in 1881. The schools involved were tlie University of Purdue and Indiana University and State’Normal F college. At that time, the schools were fairly small and many legislators J believed that they could be maina tkined more cheaply if consolidat.l ed - ■- With this in mind, Senator D.

Maccabees, Knights of Columbus and other lodges and the churches cooperate in putting over a program for the young people. A boy between ten and twenty has few places to go and the consequently run the streets. Mothers should awaken. You may say the children can go to school, but what of the rest of the time when they remain on the streets? 1 thing it would be fine if a bunch of the men would meet 'it the new fire department or some where and discuss plans to get the voung people Intelested in something worth I while. I have boys and girls both and have given this much thought. The parks are beautiful but could be improved by fences, slides, swings and a sand pile.

« i ■ »1 * Only I * J Ten Years Ago I 'jfi ONLY ten years ago life on the farm meant an alJ- most primitive existence. It was practically all work tS , • —hard work —and very little play. Today, the widespread distribution of modern a| tools, clothes, washing machines and radios make I is! pleasant and profitable the hours that used to be ifi tedious and difficult. I I Advertising has had its share in bringing about S.. his transformation. It spreads before the farmer every day, every week, every month, a whole printed S market-place from which, at his leisure, he may g select those things which he desires, and which his ® budget will permit. Thus advertising has found yg more customers for the manufacturer, and more § necessities and comforts of life for the rural buyer. i M*| This is but one phase of advertising’s service to the nation. Read the advertisements. It saves time Be . and money. And it continually informs you of many conveniences and comforts that you might otherS wise miss! iffi r | Decatur Daily Democrat

* 4 | Bird’s-Eye View Os Legislature , From Dick’s Desk < (Written by Dick Heller, chief clerk of the House) |

Four weeks still remain for the seventy-seventh Indiana General Assembly to complete its work of law-making and tie together odds and ends of legislation. Tlie week just finished saw a greatet clogging of machinery in both Senate and House, because of the record number of bills Introduced. At the half way mark, 622 bills have been introduced in the two Houses. Os these almost 400 were born in the House. Many of the law makers are still clinging on to the branch of hope that their pet measures will slide through, but the majority of both Houses looks deeper into the legislative calendar, and the next ten days will reveal the real attitude of the Assembly on a number of important questions. An income tax appears almost i certain of passage. The plan as I it now stands would automatically i (abolish the 29 cent state property 1 tax and would raise a large amount through taxing channels not yet explored by Indiana laws. Among the other score of taxing i proposals, one already has met defeat. The Haines-Evans uniform jvoll tax measure which would have compelled women to pay poll tax, I was defeated in the House on third reading after a heated debate. Little sentiment i found in either house for the s ate sales tax, and if a measure of that sort ever, reaches the Governor in the form i of a potential law, It probably will j be only a sales tax on tobacco, and . possibly soft drinks. Veteran legislators predict that | the other tax measures proposed and now in the bands of the ways and means committee of the House will die in committee. Tlie budget bill was presented last Friday morning by Representatives Curtis Bennett and Sam | Farrell and Senators Thurman Gottschalk and Bryon Huff. It is; believed that both Houses will do j little altering of the bill, which already has sliced millions from ; the 1931-32 proposal. Senator James Nedjl, Republi-; i can of Lake county, in his second I firey attack of the session desert- - ed the ranks of Republicanism and 1 favored several Democratic measures presented in the Senate.' Nedjl is still nursing his old sore I

of being defeated as president ] pro tein of the Senate. i The famous latke county salary | bill, which would cut thousands t of dollars from tjie salaries of officials of that county by stipu- j lating the salary of each officer ( will have a public bearing in the , Senate this week A number of ( the Lake county office holders In- < eluding Herman Conter, formerly , of Decatur, treasurer-elect of the , Calumet county will appear before that committee at the hearing. Along with Delph McKesson, Democratic floor leader in the House, several other leaders have loomed up on the political horizon. Fabius Gwin, Democrat of Shoals appears to have a large following in the lower house. Earl Crawford. veteran Democrat, of Milton has joined forces with Gwin on ! several occasions to push through : legislation. Among the younger ' group of Democratic legislators Chester Watson, Fort Wayne; Fred Egan, laike county; George McCammon, Elwood have followings. On the Republican side of the House, William Babcock, Rensselaer; Miles Furnas, Winchester! and James Knapp, Haggerstown, 1 the latter minority leader, have control of almost all of the G.O.P. votes. Cecil J. Kistler, long a foe of utilities, mustered sufficient strength from both ranks to keep his antifltility measures alive. Kistler's legislation would abolish I the public Service commission and would create a new board to I "guard the citizens.” I’arty leaders of both houses say that the next ten days will penei trate the present darkness and that many proposals will fall by the wayside, giving preference to needy legislation. The. great army of lobbyists, known as the Third House, is increasing in numbers almost out- ’ shining the unemployed. Every j organization and firm affected by proposed legislation has a group [of workers for a particular cause. Labor has a strong group in the House and a workable group in I the senate. House leaders have [assumed the attitude that all fair labor legislation should tie passed. The farm bloc also has a big vote [ in both houses. I Rumors of night sessions grow
