DOLLARS BUY MORE: Although the family budget may . not show it, living costs are adjusting themselves to the diminishing » i income of the nation to the extent i that workers who have been forced to accept 15 per cent cuts in wages and salaries are still ahead of the game. The fewer dollars in the pay envelope or the smaller pay., check will buy more than pre-de-1 pression earnings did. j The purchasing power of the dol- ( lar. figured on the basis of par in , 1923, was $124.8 in February of , this year as compared with $161.3 ( in July, 1914. Living costs today ( are 17 per cent below the 1930 , level but still 34 per cent higher I ® than in 1914. just prior to the beginning of the World War when I domestic and world economies en- L tered an era of rapid change. According to accepted formula about one-third of the wage-earn- I er’s income is required for food.! t one-eighth for clothing and a third 1 tor rent. Food prices have dropp-:, ed 16." per cent from the 1930 level I ( and 27.7 per cent from 1929 prices, t clothing prices are from 14 8 to 25.7 per cent lower and rents are down for those who aue willing to i move. These are the unavoidable h costs and the ones in which price-1. cutting has gone the farthest, sojj all classes are enjoying the bene-. I fits of the lower cost«of living. < Living costs tumbled sooner. ( faster and farther than the average ( wage or small salary, and it is comfortable to know that there is every chance Ahat when the pendulum !: swings back again incomes will . keep ahead of living costs in the!! upward swing. ■-— . I Children must play. Children ‘ should play. But the more children ( play, under certain conditions, the 1 more of them are killed. A sur’ey has proved conclusively that traffic accidents In which children ' figure decrease as playgrounds and summer camps increase. Commun-: ities and neighborhoods most lacking in playgrounds most frequer'ly 1 witness the tragedy of a child ground U> death under the wheels of a motor truck or injured, often fatally, but a motor car. Murder Manslaughter: Yes, but the indict- . ment is not against the careless driver and negligent parent alone., What about the guilt of the com-( inanity which fails to provide alj safe place for its children to play? | ' Children must play, but they must • j not piay in busy streets. The; ( wheels of commerce ami modes of j transportation cannot be halted 1 ‘ while young America is at play. Every driver must use reasonable care to prevent accidents, but ] thoughtless and impetuous youth makes even reasonable care unavailing where children are at play in or near the street.

Lewis Taylor, director of Hie tax and legislative departments of'the Indiana farm bureau Is advocating tree elections this year and urges that workers on the boards volun teer to serve without pay, that printers forgo profits and that buildings be given rent free. ‘ It doesn't seem just fair that a few people should thus stand the coats I ot an election. One trouble these ; days is that we want the other | fellows to pay the taxes and pay | the freight. That will never work j out. Equalization of expenses and j the consequent taxes is the real I problem and we will never solve it ' by trying to have some one else | do some thing for nothing. The Chicago Daily News, partisan : Republican newspaper, came out the other day with a front page "obituary” for the Republican party, declaring: "Here lies Eldodo, ironically called the Republican party of Illinois. It died from lack of brains and honesty. April 12. 1932." The News declared this the result of the triump of Len Small and Big Bill Thompson, It looks serious. What ever else Al Smith lacks, 'it isn’t nerve. It took real courage for him to make his startling stand * tor a twenty-year debt holiday and ' wiping out the ten billion dollar foreign indebtedness which most i people feel will never be paid any way. Whether you agree with him or not it won't hurt any thing | to think about what's best for this 1 i nation and Smith proclaimed that , as the biggest issue right now. ' l ' ■ 1 Governor is in favor of good homes. Well, so are most of I us but that doesn't provide them j and so far there has been no ar- ( rangeraent except as to a part of i > the necessary credit to secure them. I J A home building program would j I follow a restoration of earning opacity but most folks are not in-1 terested right now. C«l. Lindbergh is willing to put tip another fifty tfionsand to get his boy back but he will probably 1 want to know that the youngster j is alive and that the kidnapers will! keep their part of the agreement, | Ot all the dirty and unspeakable I < simes, the worst is the double ! i crossing recently. ——■ - - We don't know just what A! I Smith was trying to say in his Jefferson day speech and we still believe he will at the proper time be loyal to his old political friend. Franklin D. Roosevelt for he would j otherwise disappoint a lot of Dem i ocrats who have stood by him 1 through thick and thin. L'se Decatur made cigars, bread, motors, tile, glovfis. butter, ice cream, meats, handles and everything else that is home made That I is the only way to solve the unemployment problem. Adams county Democrats should stand for one of the local candidates in the coming primary for ( :hdrc are many advantages in hav- i ing a congressman. Be loyal to 1 your home county. * TWENTY - YEARS * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File | , Tho Titanic, greatest ot ocean liners, -auk today.

America’s Banking System Has I Stood the Test I During the recent years us world-wide depression, ■ every business, every bank, and every government « ■ of the w >rld, has been called upon to meet condi- ■ tions unparalleled in history. ■ leaders in every field of human activity have ■ had to face a withering croafr-fire of criticism. Some £ of this criticism was justified; mueh of it was not. ■ During this period of stress, bankers have occu- B pied a position of especial trust and responsibility, B and their record of integrity and sound manage- ■ ment as a whole, has been a creditable one. B More than 20,000 banks of this country —a con- B siderable majority of the whole number have ■ staunchly withstood the worst financial storm the ■ world has ever experienced. Could there be more I impressive proof of the stability and sound organi- I zation of America's system of individual banks? H Let us get facts like these straight in our minds. Let us trust those who have proved themselves trustworthy. The banks of this country are the financial centers around which our renewed business activities must take place. There is a big job ahead of us. Cooperation will help us to accomplish that job.
