President Hocer wants every i one to buy a new car and every i one is willing if the President will ; just send along a check to cover j payment. The advice was part of a program to boost the sale and thus the manufacture of automobiles that the wheels of industry may be started. Funeral services for Bert Vestal, honored congressman from the eighth district, were held at Anderson yesterday, attended by hundreds of friends and" by a number of his Washington colleagues. Mr. Vestal was held in high esteem and I his death has caused keen sorrowover this state. A number of local people will

Among these will be the Krick Tyndall Company who will forest twenty-four acres, adding to the value and making It an attractive park In a decade from now. This office has established a rule that lhe currier boys will not be permitted to pass bills while circulating the paper. This is done because we believe that our organization should give the public the best service possible and that doesn't mean littering your porch with bills. If you wish to reach the 3.200 subscribers of the Daily Democrat you should do so through the columns of the paper. Only sixty-four members of congress voted against the tax bill when it finally came up tor passage. We suppose there was nothing else to do but support the measure for of course we cannot permit a federal deficit to continue, but please remember that careful management might have avoided the deficit and a little effort would have reduced the budget a billion dollars. Another 51,200 is to be asked from the county council Wednesday to carry expense of the Wabash ' river drain case which has been in special court here since last fall. Eventually this money will be returned here by the state hut it looks like a very inopportune time to take chunks of cash out of any treasury. Wonder what would happen if the council decided to wait a while before they make the advance. In 1929 there were in Ohio tax delinquencies amounting to more than $52,000,000, and in 1930 they had increased more than $100,000,[OOO. Figures for 1931 are not yet available, but they certainly will ex- . i eed the 1930 figures by a substantial total The tax delinquency I figures of Ohio tell the tragic es-1 sects of huge government expenditures. and consequent high taxes to pay for them. There is a limit to the ability of the people to meet tax obligations. Public officials , I seem unable to grasp this funda mental in the tax situation, but it ,is the vital factor. If people do not have the money to pay their tax bills, they let them become delinquent and tlie government tries to ; collect the amount by selling the I property. Wise public officials will iact before the tax load becomes so I heavy that the average man can not i i pay his share. They will make re-' trenchments in public expendi-1 lures, cut down the overhead and! thus reduce the cost of operating! the government to a figure which , will make taxes low enough so that j taxpayers can meet them without j imposing a hardship upon them-; selves or being forced to let them! become delinquent.—Richmond Pal-| adium. ° ■ t ▼ Lessons In English ; • Words often misused: Do not say She -poke, but of no avail.” Say •“She spoke, but in vain.” Otten nr spronoum < 4 Scion.

By HARRISON CARROLL. ♦ Orjmirt-t. K n, Fesrurw Syndteatt. Inc HOLLYWOOD, April 00— You can't tip the younger generation to anything about sex. They're way ahead of you. So says Ernst Lubitsch, director of sophisticated comedies on the screen. A doughty Don Quixote ... . . . _

with a cigar in his mouth, Mr. Lubitsch c o n - tinues to break , lances against t h e whirring blades of the censors. j The big little director can’t abide all this talk about eliminating sex from motion pictures. “It should not be vulgar, of course,’’ he

| says. “In comedy it should be used i subtly and charmingly. In serious stories, only when arising from drp.Tiistic nccc~ ; ?*y “But when you talk about contaminating the young—how ridicu- | Jous! Al! young people today have I the facts of life before them every cay. "The press is right. It is .-upposed to present the facts of lifeK without lying. And so is the screen. Art is truth. Seeing life through pink gla. es is hokum. Fairy tales! And the public won’t believe fairy tales. “In every city of the world, in every block, life dramas are being enacted. And don’t think the young don't see them. “Yet oh the screen, we must be roundabout, illogical. “You can’t get away from it, if motion pictures are to make any advance, they must have freedom of expression.” And so Herr Lubitsch breaks another lance.

Then Spend Your Money With CONFIDENCE I t For some one, every day, the biggest news is not on the front page. It’s not even in the news columns. There may be an earthquake in Italy or a revolution in Central America. There may be a hot election campaign or a million-dollar fire or a metropolitan crime wave. But for Jim Jones, who has decided to buy a new sedan, and for Mrs. Thompson, who needs some schooldresses for little Mary la>u, the big news of the day is in the advertisements. Even the doings of Congress and the big-league baseball results pale into insignificance beside the news of something you really want. The advertising columns bring you, each day, sound information about quality, style and price. They announce new products and new developments that save time, trouble or expense for millions of people. They point out healthful habits of eating, sleeping, exercising. Consistently advertised goods are safe goods to buy. Behind them stand the manufacturer and the merchant, guaranteeing their uniform quality. litead the advertisements before you buy.
