If four per cent beer will raise ; $400,000,000 in taxes why don't we i make it eight per cent and raise ! twice that? 1 One writer says he doesn't think |‘ things are getting brighter but' the [' reflection noticed is just the shine t on his pants. t The democratic national conven- 1 lion will be held in Chicago, open- < ing June 27th and its safe to say I that a lot of Hoosiers will be on ■ the ground with demands for tic- j kl t.-- | ~ ,J t The Indianapolis Star says the I I ( democrats are feeling a little chill-1 ed by the talk of a third party. Can j t you beat that? Wonder how the! republicans feel about it? Perhaps ~ they think it doesn't make any disi Terence. Some one suggests that we 1 might semi wheat to the unemploy- ' ed by mail. That would get rid of!' the crop, the breadlines and the' postal deficit and be killing three J birds u Ai one stone. “ I < Those who wish to run for the 1 nomination for President and care ' for the vote from North Dakota! will have to file before January 1 22iid. which may force some of the I boys to show their bauds. A check up shows the first week | 1 of this year to be an improvement 1 1 over the first week of 1931 in gen-j '■ oral business.

the scientific forecasters have been the cause of all our woes the past several years are passing, and every thing looks brighter as a result. There is one thing assured and that is that radio reception will be improved and that may put folks in a better humor. Mr. Raskob, Al Smith, Jimmy Cox. John W. Davis and all the others upset the dope bucket by putting on the most harmonious I meeting known in a long time when the national committeemen and many national leaders gathered in Washington last week. Looks as though they are down to the real business of winning this year's election and don't intend to kick things over as they have done several times in the past. The automobile show in NewYork this week is attracting much attention. Never were there so many values. Every line has a special car at a low price and those that cost over a thousand dollars are as luxurious as your gayest dream would have them. They are modernly equipped with every thing! ever thought of. The public wants them and if they will loosen up cash a little, the factories will be kept running day and night for I there is no doubt that the public desires the newest in gas buggies. | Now if the two billion dollar relief bill will help out financially, as lias been predicted, we may start to getting on our feet one of these days and that will be glorious. The democratic members of the United States senate remained on the job and missed the big political session held there Saturday, a thing for which they certainly deserve credit, i for the public s business should cer-1 tailily come first these days and ! that's the best politics they can j play. —_— — ■ ■ 1 Its all damn nonsense.' was Mr. I Dawes' reply when asked if he Lad I come home to run for President and then added to a friend. "Guess that ought to settle that.” He is far too wise to waste time on so foolish an undertaking. In the first place he would have to defeat Mr. Hoover i and if he did that he would find a | party divided and every one knows j they have too much of that now to . make the nomination desirable. I Mr. Dawes says he is going to attend to his banking business in Chicago. ♦ —fl Modern Etiquette | -by- | ROBERTA LEE ♦ • Q.

The great social problem is how I to dispose of worn out razor blades Paramount studios destroyed 10,000 of them during the past year. The blades were used by the wardrobe to cut materials, by film directors to cut fiim and, probably, by janitors to scrape the names off doors. The used blades are put into a giant incinerator, taken with the ashes to a barge at the harbor and dumped to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean several miles from shore. THEY’LL BE LEAVING SOON.

Ts Germany can not pay, this i.r not due to her ill will but because paying is a financial and economic impossibility. In addition, we ought to consider that Germany must repay her private debts. She is determined not to evade these obligations although payment is blocked at present. If tariff barriers fell throughout llm world Germany could expand her foreign trade by several billion marks and thereby create a new situation with respect to her »apnclty to pay." Deltiich said that chaueellor Heinrich Brueniug's statement on Gei many's inability tq pay reparations did not mean her unwilling, ness to pay. He talked with the correspondent

for an hour in his office between | visits from other members of the cabinet. He sat at his desk and chatts in good humor despite his cares in nursing Germany s etna-; ciated finances and sharing the government's responsibility in a |( troubled internal poliifcal situation. I. Reelection of President Paul Hindenberg would assure continu- ( ance of an absolutely legal regime in Germany, he said. "If it c.imes to an election contest among othei candidates with Von Hindenburg not running the struggle will be extremely fierce, for in that case moderates will be fighting the ia dica! forces. Should the mode ates win, the national socialist (Adolph Hitler's Nazis) bogey will be driven out, but if the moderates lose, the conseqquences can not be forseen Meanwhile the leaders of the National opposition." Hitler and Dr. Alfred Hugenberg agreed to inform Cbancello. Bruening that in their opinion it would be unconstitutional to reelect Von Hindenburg by a constitutional amendment prolonging his term of office., Since the Nationalist and National Socialist vote would ue required to , give the proposed amendment the necessary two-thirds majority in , the reichstag, it appeared that a Presidential election in March would be inevitable.

During the "hay days" when production at the city plant was above normal) and profits were large, this money was set aside and is now being. used to good advantage. There is sufficient money on hands to pay! the bonds as they become due and a surplus to guarantee their payment in future years
