While this money is only advanced and in due time comes hack from the state, it lias to be provided in the meantime and that's something these days.

gan State prison debated the quoatiou, "Resolved, that the oightenth amendment should be repealed.” against three young men from the I University of Detroit extension t course in public speaking and did It so thoroughly that they won the • decision of the judges. Since one I ot the winners is serving time for violation of the prohibition laws he > may have known without guessing > some of the best arguments. ’ == I Tax paying is over for the first ' six month period and we won't have • I to worry about where we cau find that much money until November. By the way, taxes are less this year than for some time and it is expected they will drop still lower next year. Every economy possible is being put into effect and this is sure to bring a reduction in dollars and cents While the rate may not be lowered much, if anp. the valuations and appraisements are being reduced so as to make the actual amount to be paid in taxes considerably less. With the election over those interested in politics will turn attention to the organization which is next on the program. The newly elected committeemen will meet [next Saturday in the various coun,.t’es to elect chairmen, vice chairmen, treasurers and secretaries and next week the district conventions will he held when county chairmen will chose the district chairmen. Then will come the meetings at Indianapolis for state organization, then the state conventions and then the mMionals and then we are all ready for the real line-up of contending forces in a national campaign that bids fair to be one ot the hottest in many years. Congress recently passed a dras . tic tax law which increases by a[ billion dollars present taxes. Atq that time it was the desire of the . leaders on both sides that the bud get be reduced to permit this increase to balance the demand However when they got to trimlining up the employes and otherwise cutting overhead the lawmakers listened to the appeals of [those effected and now they find I they must further boost the income I in some manner and they propose , to do that by adding to the cost of .telegraphing and telephoning and [by boosting other taxes. It's a sorry moss and one that they don't seem to be able or desirous of meeting in a sensible manner. o ♦— — ♦ j Lessons In English > — ♦!
