Have your house ' painted, clean up and fix up. Employ as jnuch help as you can at'fofd to for thats the best way to get business started. Mayor Dale of .Muncie along with a number of other officials from there and Anderson and Marion are < under indictment on charges of * conspiracy to violate the prohi- J bition laws. We hope they will be able to establish innocence for | there is no reason for officials to' violate that law or anv other one 1 after given the trust of their const!- 1 tuencies. The tax bill is up in congress to-; day. It will raise bilious of dollars which will he spent hut which will not greatly relieve the drepresston " situation. As Mr. Traylor says what 1 we need to do is to get down to old fashioned brass tacks on the spending business. Thats the quick-; est and only way to really get back to normalcy. In the meantime, as long as congress passes tax laws we may expect to keep on paying. Yea Yellow Jackets, that was a great tournament and you provcd your loyality to your school by I playing perfectly and bringing, home the bacon. We are all proud of you and hope you perform the ■ same way in the regional. The , finest thing about it was the statements from those in charge at Fort Wayne of your finne sportsmanship. Play the game square and play hard. That's the way to win | basketball games and all the other battles of life. One week from this evening will! occur the big democratic banquet , with a dozen state candidates and ali of the congressional aspirants [ to address those who gather at the. Catholic Community hall here. It will be a happy and inspiring event, i Tickets are one dollar, the ladies! are invited as well a.s the men. the I program will interest you and ] the oceasionn gives every promise | of being one of the best held in | this section of the state this spring. Lets all help the field trnm gat > the acreage for the boot company, provided there Is airy thing we tan do and lets help the Great Lakes Company In every way we can. We owe them sincere cooperation (or they have made a splendid effort so far to reorganize the company and tcupcii this factory which means so much here.

is in for eleven years in prison, he is crying and complaining. He says he is being accused of things lie never did which is perhaps true but he did a lot of things he never has boon accused of also. He is 1 getting only part of the punish- ! ment due hint and certainly has Ino great complaint to offer. - ■ i One of the best ways we can help in the reconstruction cam paign is to start boosting and jqui: gossiping. Business men who talk about others are certainly forgetting that every thing that injures the othe fellow likewise reacts against the fellow who does the talking. Give yourself and the other fellow a slap on the back and smile. Donn't think competitor or some other business man is not having a tough time also. If he is getting along a little better it may be he 4s working a little harder ! and along, a different line that you ' might follow to advantage. There may not be much to the wet and dry poll now being taken by the Literary Digest but it certainly looks damp, running about : four to one. Kansas is the only 1 state showing a dry majority so ;tar ami thats close. Many of the 1 returns are ten to one and even 'here in Indiana its better than two Ito one for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. As we say there may not be much to it-and of course I officially there isn't-but it may on >the other hand have a rather important effect on legislation by the : present congress and the coming 1 election. 1 - The Decatur high school basket I ball team won the sectional tournament at Fort Wayne over the week . ennd. defeating Monroeville.

Charles E. Coughlin "the most outrageous committal lever seen by the American public.” Father Coughlin's denunciation jot the condition that made such an appointment necessary came during a radio address yesterday from his Shrine of the Little Flower church at De roit over WOR. “The frantic father was driven j to de.speralion,’’ be said, to name 1 men who form "the new Almighty that we have in the United State ." “In all <he history of civilization 1 there was never such an admission made by any country. And that is what prohibition has brought tin." Father Coughlin charged. “Ixtok in any telephone book and you will find the number of a CatboUe orphanage at which you could ileave the baby. Or go to any priest; be will hold your confidence." Father Coughlins broadcast ad dress followed one delivered at First Presbyterian Church, MiddleItown, by Fred A, Victor, s’ate sup ’ crinti udriit of the Anti Saloon leu gtte. Victor charged cert iin im-tropoii ' Inn editors had made a "deliberate ! attempt to mak>- prohibition ap pear responsible for the kidnaping."

Lindhorgh. attempt to bring the baby to the Lindbergh home," Lamb was asked through the spokesman at hoadqunrters. “The state police will do everything possible to help the kidnap-' era deliver the child.” Lamb re-] piled. Meantime, in the Lindbergh house on Sourlund mmmtain from which Baby Limltwrgh was stolen last Tuesday night, new hope was 1 inspired. Col. Lindbergh and his wife sat by an open fire in the| living room, as snow swirled out-j side in the cold raw March air. The Lindberghs were represent-1 ed as hopeful that their designa-; tion of Salvatore Spitale. a New < York underworld character, and ] his guardsman. Irving Bits, as go] IMweens for the kidnapers would I yield results. Spitale himself told the United > Press he was waiting for gang-1 land to speak through its devious • channels. If the "job" of kidnaping Baby Charles was "proses-1 sional," Spitale was hopeful that the "grapevine telegraph" of gangdom would get word to him now. where, and when to get the child in exchange for Lit.altergh's promised ransom of SSO.tW. This ransom is known to be , waiting in Newark, though the press spokesman today denied ransom had been asked in the kidnapers original note, despite that the Lindberghs had let this be known at the outset. The police Interview today said kidnapers had left no token behind to identify any subsequent message. While hope was sustained that the Undbergh contact with the underworld would achieve return of the baby—unless the kidnaping was the work of an amateur or, maniac — authorities continued' checking tips as to whereabouts of the baby or its captors. Henry (Red) Johnson, suitor of Miss Betty Gow. Lindbergh nurse- 1 maid, still was held for exantina- ] tion at Newark. N. J., where he I was questioned Sunday after Ilia

Spitale kept his ■| movements Sunday and today I secret, but it developed that most | of his Sunday evening was spent at a hockey game. He feels that i gangdom knows how to reach him. "j and he is not playing the role of i detective. The press conference report to- | day also included the following questions and answers: I Q —Did any note instruct Col. ] Lindbergh to announce Spitale and Bitz as intermediaries four days , after the kidnaping? A—No. Q- Did the kidnapers leave a token to dieting tish their later] communications to Col. Lindbergh . ' from the fake messages? A- No. Q- Was the milk bottle found ' in Johnson's car the property of I the company which fi.rnished milk lor the Lindbergh baby? A —lnvestigators working on th ' Johnson angle neve not yet re ported. Q Will Johnson be released under bond or will he be 'detained further? A —That, depends on the 6ui come of the questioning. Q— Has Col. Lindbergh asked the state police not to interfere i with the negotiations or the safe return of the baby to the house? : Has anyone made this request? A —No. No. Q —What is the basis for :!»«■, disagreement between the poll-e and Col. Lindbergh as to the meth ; od of procedure in this case? A—There is no disagreement

Q—Was the time at which the i baby was put to bad ou the night of the kidnaping his regular hour for going to bed? J A— Yes. Q Will you toll the movements of Betty Gow from the time site put the baby to bed until the kid naping was discovered? A—There was nothing unusual In her activities q Is it true that police ate working on the tip that Johnson ' when arrested was on his way to Saco. Me. where a relative of his. Mrs. Howard Pinkham, has a baby farm? A -That is being investigated but we have not received a report as yet. Q If the Lindbergh baby was ill why did Betty Gow leave him alone from 7:30 p nt to 10 p. m. and if she has not been asked this question why not? A—The Htby was not very i lilt had a slight void Q--Are there any new clues on the ladder and if so what? 1 A- There are no new clues. | Q- Whet) will Col. Schwartzkopf. Captain I-imb or Col.

BUDGET BATTLE t STARTS TODAY iCONTINUED FHOM PAGE OKE) I „ ru*uru-<j 'economic revolution carried to ■ fruition by Woodrow Wilson. The I sales tax. according to Its opponents. will spread the tax burden, " conversely, among the great eon sinning anti producing masses. ' Its democratic and republican II sponsors, sensing the rising under-1 0 current of opposition to this new | f principle, offer the sales tax merely ' a >s an emergency measure to last] until July 1. 1934, with the argul!intent that, it must be utilized Ihj- ' cause of failure of the Income .ax to produce sufficient revenue in a s | depression era. n | Some of its opponents fear, nevertheless. that the sales tax may be '' written permanently into thhe tax structure, and their fight will be I with this in mind, though they oppose introduction of such a tax II even as a temporary measure. Championing of the bill will be in the hands of a regular republican i land democratic coalition, which is sponsoring it as a “nonpartisan" ‘ I measure. The administration has ' endorsed In through Secretary of Treasury Mills. The opposition, likewise, will be draw* from itofh sides of the ailae in both house and I senate. The bill is a peculiar hybrid • measure. It embodies tariff features in the 12 cents a barrel tax on imported oil and gasoline ami the countervailing section applying the, two and a quarter per cent rate to I 1 all imports like in character to, - manufactured goods which come i under tlte sales tax. 1 This tariff complexion will make 1 the bill vulnerable to all sorts of amendments to include other products. which are expected to be of-: ’ sered in liduse and senate.
