Th seventy-seventh session of the Indiana General Assembly finally struggled through with an indifferent record. It wound up some twelve hours after the time prescribed by law and there is some question as to the legality of the action taken after the hour of midnight on Monday. We know that Walter Meyers did — his best that some legislation worth W«Uile should he enacted and we S (Impose since Ed Bush is a standing candidate for governor that he * . likewise had the intentions, but its i.tough game, especially when the — egjslature is divided politically, rffff 1 branch democratic and the c-Oier republican with working majorities. Mr. Bush had also the advantage of a republican governor and in the important hours, this proved a balance of power. Out of all the turmoil came something over one hundred laws, some of them helpful and others of doubtful value and now there Is talk of a ..special session, but without assurances that such a meeting wduld result better. What's the answer? Perhaps 'Kome changes in our manner of enacting laws should be made. We believe that the Ohio system, where the assembly meets thirty days to receive bills and then tile members uu home to discuss them with the ' voters, returning for an enacting • session, has proven more satisfac- • -tory. Perhaps we should feel happy • -over the fact that fewer new acts • - were enacted at this session than the average for there is little doubt ' that we have too many laws, con- " ’ Acting and difficult to live up to, • but there is a feeling of disappoint- • ment over the state that something ■ more definite and sensible was not . ‘ done in this session to lighten the

PLEASANT RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION Shoulders droop under weight nf years. Young, yet beauty has fled. . Cheeks are sallow and drawn. Unsightly pimples. Keep your system clean and you keep the beauty of ’ youth. Its energy. Its irresistible , charm. Then life is not a failure. Clogged bowels and inactive liver cause poisons to seep through the system. Health vanished and with it beauty and energy. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets will help save you from this dark hour. For 20 years they have been prescribed in place of calomel to men and women seeking health and freedom from constipation. They act easily and smoothly. No dangerous griping.

I burdens of the people. Well, it’s over and we can only turn our thoughts to other things After all it's up to us as Individualfl to pull ourselves out, so let's go. r. — — r. If the raapportionment act, passlt ed Tuesday morning, is signed by t- the governor and held constitutionr al, Adams county will be In the fourth district with Wells and the o 0 six counties of the old twelfth disci tricL Allen county will frequently (| be the deciding quantity In the 5 races for congress and the democrats will always have a fighting 1 chance or better. Wells and Adams will add majorities of about 3,000 to the district, sufficient to often turn the tide of battle. The I i changes in the district is necessary I because of the fact that this state I is to have one less congressman I under the new federal redistricting.: It will take some time to get used ' to it. but we believe Adams county democrats will rather like it when they do. ! When well improved Adams ' county farms can be bought for ' less than the dirt is worth and with splendid improvements in the ' way of roads, buildings, schools, 1 fences, drains, bridges and every ■ thing else thrown in, there surely is no better investment for remember that until the farm land market is where it belongs, there will be no genuine prosperity. They just have to go up and they will. Right now you can hardly rent a good one and that’s a good sign. Watch out tor a general rise soon. This county is asked to subscribe $750 to the Boy Scout fund and this should be cheerfully and I speedily done. Os course its a I great cause and deserves hearty j support. Any thing as clean as ' this, intended for the noble purpose of training the growing boys to live better and more useful lives is worthy. There should be no' hesitation in helping this good! cause along. Good news, indeed, is the announcement that the local plant of the General Electric will ’operate ■ five days this week and four next, j That shows an upward trend in the I orders and is the best outlook for a year. We are all hoping that! within a short time this plant and i 1 all others will be going full tilt. , The governor might appoint a c committee to investigate the state- , ment of Lieutenant Governor Bush —"We have not yet begun to fight." S IWe thought he started that the evening before the session opened ' but about all that came of the bluster was a sad mix-up in the 1 senate most of the time. ' - I Governor Leslie has signed Sen- . ator Williams bill for regulation of 1 rivers a distance of twenty-five ' 1 | biles, but just what it contains we! |do not know. We have a copy- of the original bill but understand j some amendments at the final mo- I ment changed that considerably. 1 —— - - ■ IlWlfll With the Kirkland case at Valparaiso on and the Schroeder case in Indianapolis, the legislature and the storm all over, we are wondering what we can dig up to interest the folks, but don’t worry, there is always something in this busy country. Governor Leslie's parting message to the legislature was “Let us pray.” That might have done some good sixty-one days sooner, but given at the last minute seemed a I little out of place. Whifride Pease and son of Geneva visited in this city today.

NAVAL ACCORD IS ANNOUNCED Terms of Franco-Italian Agreement Are Made Public London, March 11. — (U.R) - The (terms of the Franco-Italian naval I limitation accord were made pub(lie today in an official memorani dum revealing tliat both countries had agreed not to build more than two capital ships each of a maximum tannage of 23,333 tons before I December 31, 1936 The ships will be armed with gtins not to exceed 12 inches in caliber. The agreement permits France to build the proposed 23,333-ton "sup-er-cruiser,” for which plans already have been drawn up by the naval ministry at Paris. The official memorandum, which embodied the terms of the (accord in the annex, specified that, subject to decisions of: the forthcoming 1932 world disarmament con ference, the tonnage of French submarines in commission would not exceed 8F.989 tons up to December 31, 1936. The total figure represents the tonnage of vessels now built or under construction. The London naval treaty limited the United States, Britain and Japan to a total of 52,700 tons in submarines and declared a holiday on capital ships, or battleships until December 31, 1936. France and Italy agreed to build no cruisers with guns above 6.1 caliber, with the exception of the 1931 programs of each country. The 1931 criser building schedules will be permitted. The cruiser with guns of greater caliber than six inches are the heavy 10,000-ton craft with eight inch guns. Under the London treaty the United States was limited to 180.000 tons of heavy cruisers, or 18 craft; Britain to 146,000 tons and Japan to 108,000 tons. Ita'y recently has been building heavily in the 10,000-ton cruiser class, having six such vessels completed or under construction, including the Gorizia, which accomodates three reconnaisance seaplanes. The Pola —seventh of the class —is scheduled to be laid down soon. The word “parity” does not appear in the memorandum or the annex. It was the Italian demand for naval parity with France that prevented the two nations agreeing to the terms of the London naval treaty, and apparently the new agreement has postponed the Italian demand but not eliminated it.
