THE WORM TURNS: Most of us have received various reports, speeches and what-not issued by the government. In newspaper and magazine offices they come in bales. Last year the government printing office turned out four billion copies of such matter, at a cost of about $20,000,000. Sales to the public returned $215,743 of this. The rest was free issue at the expense of taxpayers. Most of this matter, furthermore, is sent tree through the mails, thus building up the postal deficit, and again taking money from the pockets of taxpayers. Some of these publications are, of course, valuable and constitute a legitimate function of government. But the bulk of them are either useless or consist of political utterances which nerve only to glorify some “statesman" or bureau in the public eye. ■And we pay for it. Twenty million or so dollars is a comparatively small item in the cost of government. Bitt the freeprinted, post-free document “racket" is a good example of wastefulness ami extravagance in the use of public funds. The taxpayer is a patient, longenduring creature. but cannot even., his patience be strained to virtual rebellion? There are signs of it. The Massachusetts Tax Association said recently: "Recognition must bo given to the gradually awakening tax consciousness of the public, which more and more is <ausing the average citizen to realize that expenditures in govern inent must be reduced or curtailed just as industry has been forced to deflate its costs in order to exist.

committees and it takes several l days for each to get organized and the first thing we know the tax assessors will be out and the time , will have passed when any thing can be done. If there is any cure for the present illness in economics, t it ought to be preented and then carried through in as short a time 2 as possible. 0 I) 5 The Indiana Farm Bureau is ionmil inning the campaign to secure beet a i 3 acreage pledges and with good sue--9 cess. They expect by tomorrowevening to have the amount desired by Col. Gallagher. If the finances can then be arranged the fieldmen of the company will be organized and they will be sent out to get the contracts. Let nothing stand in your way of boosting this industry. It means much to all of us. The busiest place in town just now is the license bureau where hundreds are calling for their plates i and the right to operate the old bus I the coming year. Some of the boys ' ! have to hustle over to get their poll | I tax receipt before they can qualify 1 i but they usually return soon. No data as to how long a period of I grace will be'extended but the safe i thing is to get the plates and put! them on. ■ ■ „ , A man who claimed he had run ' 1 away from his parole in a California prison, walked into police < ■i ue idquarters at Huntington and ' , asked to be sent back. They held | him there over night and then <ie- ' (tided he could get back the way he got here. This is not a time for communities to spend money ship1 ping criminals across the country. I . — The selection of James Briggs . of Geneva as a member of the Ad■ams County Memorial Hospital board is pleasing to every one who ■ knows this splendid young man. He will prove a valuable and very competent member of this important board. He succeeds Mrs. T. J. ■ McKean who has moved from the county. '1 here is much concern over Hie country because of the serious ill ness of Julius Rosenwald, Chicago business man famed for his philanthropies. He has been a great man 1 in many ways and the country ' needs all of the men of his calibre I .it this time. Congress is back at it— making the fur fly—and providing a lot of I interesting headlines but what the j people want just now is some serious consideration of some very serious matters. o ♦- 4 i Lessons In English ♦ Words often misused: Do not say "It is rarely that you hear of such things."

■National Legion Chief To Speak In State January 7 lb ' Ki rBFj w**' ■T • - ■ F tc< Henry L. Stevens, Jr. Indianapolis. Jan. 5. — Henry L. Stevens, Jr., national commander of the American Legion, has accepted an invitation to deliver an address in Richmond. Indiana, the evening of January 7. Department officials consider this acceptance as a distinct compliment to their Legion organization because of the demand for the national commander. His oratorical ability has been acclaimed wherever he has appeared as a treat long to be remembered, and the requests for his appearance in other cities and states far exceed any possibility of accepting ’ them all. Hundreds of Legion naires, members of the Legion ' Auxiliary and their friends are expected to attend front many miles around to hear the Legion chief tell cf the ideals and present objectives of the organization under his leadership. The national commander's style of oratory combines the fighting qualities of the soldier who is intensely devoted to the cause of patriotism and the Southern eloquence that has t peatedly been termed by toas'.am.st.ors as inspir- ’ ed. Mr. Stevens is an attorney of Warsaw a. North Carolina, where he was born Jan. 27. 1896. He re- , ceived his education in the Warsawhigh school, the Porter Military Academy of Charleston. S. C.. the
