Inc., “ 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago 415 Lexington Avenue, New York " Charter Member of The ’ Indiana l eague of Home Dailies. -SOME SOUND SENSE: • If tjo state and local governTnents.of Indiana continue to function .wring Hie year 1933 there will Jieed to be a special session of the .legislature to meet conditions. The Tegular appraisal of real estate will _be made this spring, it is safe, to ■assume that valuations will be 25 "to 3. r >4»er cent lower than when the ■last valuation was made four years ago. and factories will -likewise show a big slump. These ..classes of property make up more “than "ko per cent of our taxables. Total taxes collected in Indiana amounted to more than $150,000,000 last slump' in proportion to valuations, •fire decrease in revenue would be ’'betwwii $35,000,000 and $40,000,000 next wear. To say that all this can ■ be raised from new forms of tax--atioiCis worse than folly. There ■masCbe cuts in the cost of govern■meat? One of the first duties of a ‘ -legislature would be to ent off $25.- . 000.OVO of expenditures. Even at , thatwxe should not be retrenching „very-much. During the year 1920 ... all tae taxes couected in Indiana for all purposes amounted to $75,- “ OQO.tUio, while ten years later, in 1930,, the amount was Just double. •or 1j50.000.000 in taxes. Since we • •» surety we can cut off one-third that •amottnt and still have government as efficient as we had in 1920. The “ legislatures big job will be to cut “ expenses and not to add new forms " of taxation. — Senator Walter S. ■' Chambers. *■ tar . _ ” There is much truth in Senator Chamber s views, ami if a session “ "as .called with these things in ■* view, every one would favor it. « 1* hdt the people fear is a conglom- - elation of tax laws that will make v things worse than now and that „ could happen. Now comes the news that the «■ value of American exports for the • first* nine months of 1931 was apZ proximately a billion dollars less «. tha» for the corresponding period ” of 1930. Comes too Hie familiar ’ and. unconvincing cry that the re- - sponsibilitv must be placed on the «• » depression alone. As a matter of • tact? if the principal culprit is lhe •> depression, it has been materially J aided and abetted. The latest evi- “ denge of the fact appears in word “ Boyj Madrid that Spain has just - raised her tariff walls to the skies,

so high as practically to exclude important American exports like automobiles, electrical goods and telephone equipment. Traced back, , Spain’s action leads to the madness at Washington embodied in our Hawley-Smoot tariff law of t 1930. This measure increased our rates on 65 per cent of Spain’s ex- ! ports to the United States. Spain, , having protested without success, > raised her own tariffs that sum- ! mer, particularly those on AmerI ican exports. So did other coun--1 tries hit by our tariffs, notably France and Italy. Then so did still others —for example, Canada, Australia and Argentina, each forcing others to raise their-tariffs in retaliation until finally even freetrade Britain erected walls of her own. And that is the way the vicious circle has gone. Each reprisal, whatever its direct or indirect motive, has been a blow at American trade. Each new one will be another, until finally the nations, particularly the United States, regain their scattered senses.—Outlook Magazine. The New York Herald call atten- i tion to the unusual fact that five Presidents of the United States whose names began with the letter ”H’ were not elected to second terms and says they are: William Henry Harrison. Rutherford B. Hayes, Beniamin Harrison, Warren G. Harding and Herbert C. Hoover. That’s a dirty crack from a republican newspaper so far as the President is concerned. The first Harrison and Harding died during first terms, Hayes was not renominated ami the second Harrison lost in lhe election. What will happen this year with the last Mr. ”H.’”' Renew your subscription to the Daily Democrat. You will want to know the news — local, state and national this year for there is much doing. There will be the elections, county, state and national, there

will be numerous court items of

particular interest, there will he the matters of great public interest, besides social, general and sport news. You get it all for less than a penny a day, which is one thing that has always been cheap enough. Please do not feel that if you haven't signed a pledge to raise beets you arc out. A couple of thousand acres are still needed and we hope every one who desires to get into this game will do so at once, lor the matter of taking pledges will conclude soon. It is unusual to have so fine a weather in January but the entire tall and winter season so far has been unusual, breaking all records iii this section for mildness, which helps the coal pile a lot. Gosh-all-flshhooks, lhe State of Indiana now is getting in style by running up a deficit. There is one way to stop that — quit spending the money.

No director or cast have been chosen for the English version, but after ‘'Frankenstein," James Whale is the logical choice for the megaphone assignment. He took the crimp out of this butler.
