towards that review of u brutal crime in which Kirkland's sweetheart was attacked aud killed. In a previous trial he was convicted j • and given a life sentence but the i court held It a mistrial and the 1 ■ young man Is to be given another | chance. Under the present indict- ' ment the penalty of death Is mandatory and Its safe to guess that Kirkland will suffer some tortures during the trial no difference what 1 the result. There seems to have been so much confusion iu the closing day or two of the recent Indiana legislature that records could not be kept which is causing some to advocate new rules, but about the only rules that will prove of value will be an entire new system whereby bills are introduced, then a period of time given for study and research, and then a session for final passage of such bills as have been found worth while. Certainly we ought to get away from the wild | scenes which marked the 1931 legislature and almost every one for a half century. Facing a federal treasury deficit of almost a billion dollars, aud with a large decrease in Income tax receipts, the people qf the United States may at last realize —as the President realizes very keenly — that the time has come for the < strict economy. For several years ■ we have been spending money with a recklessness that is now working , out into its inevitable result* as we should have known it would. Even now there are no doubt some' people who do not see anything ominous in the present situation. Yet if any one, even a few years ago, had predicted a deficit, ■ no one would have believed him. — Indianapolis News. A corrupt practices act, to be ; introduced in congress next winter, aims to make federal elections more fair and honest by reducing election expenses of senators and representatives. It would set a limit of two cents a vote for the former and four cents a vote for the latter. Thus a senatorial candidate 1 in Wyoming might spend $1,480, in Michigan $36,000, in Pennsylvania $34,000, in New York, $54,000. ' These are small sums compared with expenditures which ) in recent years, have sometimes run over sl,000,000. But they are probably enough. Generally speaking, the more a lawmaker costs, the worse lie is.—Kendallville News-Sun. o *— ? TWENTY YEARS 4 AGO TODAY | From the Daily Democrat File * 4 May 13 —President Taift goes to Newark. N.
