AN AMERICAN PARADOX: We have the amazing spectacle of a people subscribing $5,500,000,COO for a $650,000,000 government >an in a country which apparently has no capital upon which to go about its ordinary business. At the same time the hoarders of capital emerge from their holes to grab government securities we have the ether spectacle of thirty sovereign states applying, hat in hand, at the Federal treasury, for ‘'emergency" money with which to carry on relief work for their needy citizens. The fact that a government loan is oversubscribed eight times ought to make it plain that there is plenty cf money in the country and that there is entirely too much slacker capital in concealment. The prompt lineup of thirty states begging alms is the best possible proof that the Federal government should be i mighty careful in seeing to it that i only the "needy” states shall draw | upon the Federal resources for funds to be used in meeting state lesponsibiUties. It is not easy to believe that all those thirty states now asking for help “as a last resort" actually are at the qnd of their own home resources. The distributing situation suggests that the unsound political j proposal to apportion the Federal ! rt lief money "according to popala-1 tion" rather than in accord with i actual need may have had a demoralizing effect upon public officers in various states who look upon relief money as so much manna sent down from V.'ashington to fatten voracious tax-eaters. —Lefayette Journal and Courier. A Michigan man attacncd a 17j ear n'd girl who repulsed his advances. He murdered her and buried the. body near his shack. He was arrested and confessed and sentenced to life imprisonment at bard labor. Now the cry comes up again that in such cases the state should be permitted to mete out a quick dose of capital punishment, but after a 1 isn't it greater punishment for such a fiend that he be forced to break stoqe all day long the rest of his life? We believe death would be preferable to the long hard days and endless nights with the thoughts of such a crime ever pounding through one's brain.

| A hundred thousand dollars to pay the National Guard for protection of life and property in the Vigo county mine district seemed a lot of money to the members of the state senate it seems. It Is a fortune these days, but no one knows just what will be necessary the next few months and it won't hurt to have the finances on hand to meet the situation. If it isn't needed, they don't have to spend it and It could revert to the general fund. President Hoover’s speMh of acceptance will be conservative, says a news dispatch from Washington. That was to have been expected. It will not only be conservative but it will straddle every question of importance. Indecision is one of the charges against the administration that has not been defended er disproved and that’s a serious one. The accident near Mendon, Ohio, yesterday was a terrible one and it looks like another of those which might have been avoided with a little care. The Chevrolet must have been traveling a terrific speed tor it struck the truck with such force that the big heavy car, load cl with cream and ice cream overt<:rned four times. It payt to slow up at road intersections. Reducing taxes sounds fine but after all it doesn’t help if we must increase the valuations to meet it. In other words it takes so much money to operate government and the only way to really save is to cut costs. We don’t believe that's indicative of good times but under present conditions its necessary. Second street is being repaired and when this work is completed | nd the road has ironed out it will Ibe one of the finest streets in the city, it's a big improvement over the old brick thoroughfare which was so rough it shook a fel'ow out id his seat if he exceeded ten miles an hour. A Canadian woman got so mad j at a neighbor tint she grabbed an J axe and chopped off the leg of his i horse. Now there would be a help ! mate that should provide plenty of pep and go. mostly go. One of the exciting things to look forward to as the campaign opens is the part to be taken by Calvin Coolidge. Bet the -old boy don't say much and what he does will be carefully edited and blue penciled. John Raskob and Vincent Astor will assist in the campaign to elect Franklin I). Roosevelt and that's not a thing to laugh off for these are the boys who can assist greatly in raising necessary funds. The most partisan citizen will admit the legislature has done some things, whether they be right or wrong and that's some achievement for a divided assembly during a campaign year. — t —o ■ | Answers To Test Questions I u 1 Below are the Answers to the | Test Questions Printed on Page Two. ; 0 — ..... . ... 4 I.—lt is slightly flattened at the poles. 1 2.—Educational institution for negroes, at Tuskegee, Ala. ; 3. —William Z Foster. 4 Mt.

deals were jammed through at the last minute, Carl Laemmle. Jr., announced the fellowing players would be used: Burton Churchill and Carol; Naish. The screen play of “Merry-Go-Round” was done by Tom Reed, and Edward C. Kahn will direct.] Chances are there will be a change i of title before the film is released. One of the better wisecracks of the week was pulled by Bob Bums, the comedian, when he was called io Metro-Goldwy fl-Mayer to take a test for “Rasputin.” Sent to the wardrobe department for a costume, he asked for a large selection. "I hate to be finicky.” he told the litter. “But I'll never be able to get those three Barrymores together again, and I want to go in there and steal that picture.” One of the most unusual stories now in preparation is Fox’s “Six Hours to Live.” It depicts the actions of a man called back from the verge of death and given six more hou s to live. John Boles has just been signed to the cast which already includes Warner Baxter. Gordon Morris (that’s Chester’s brother), and Martin Barteaux are writing this one as a screen original. It will be directed by William Dieterle.

BOULEVARD TALK Those in the know are chuckling over the lyrics of Dorothy Lee's song in a local musical comedy. She warbles of three boy friends and names Marsh. Jim and Fred. Which easily figures out Marshall Duffield, Jim I-idler and Fred Waring. You notice, too, that Marsh gets top billing. Incidentally, Dorothy swears she will never “stooge” for comedians gain. Hereafter, somebody else will ask the questions and she will supply the answers. The July issue of Equity Magazine contains a prayer written by an

consider what It described as! "Bills containing vital tax relief i propolis." The house, which has < held one Saturday session, had I recessed unfil Monday. The senate, as it voted tor the 1 week-end session, expressed a hope] of pushing forward to third read jng and passage numerous ineas-| ures. It was pointed out that if 1 they were delayed until Monday,! there would be no opportunity for re-conslderaUon of any bills which met Governor Leslie’s veto. in the most oratorlcally-replete meeting of the session, the senate yesterday defeated the Hoffman I sales tax proposal, passed a bill] proposing a reduced Interest rate, on petty loans, and postponed indefinitely three measures that would have cut newspapers’ revenue from legal advertising. The house, speeding through relief measures, passed and sent to the senate nine proposals. It placed its approval on two senate i bills, which now go to the governor. Concurrence in the McKesson bills for re-allocation of the gas and auto license fund, amended by the senate to remove features i which Attorney General Ogden said were unconstitutional, was: voted by the house. They went to the governor for the second timed A reduction in salaries of Evansville officials, amounting to approx-. ; imately 20 per cent, was contained' i in one of the senate bills whicni I the house passed. It goes to the governor. Defeat of the sales tax proiKtsaU ’ in the senate was by a vote of 28, ; tt> IS. it would have amended the; , chain store tax to inclt.de virtually ! ail commodities. "This bill would distribute taxes' over rich and poor alike, but would scarcely be noticed by anyone,” Hoffman said. "In order to comply with the injunction of this : special session, it is necessary to ' provide some means of raising 1 revenue. The present property tax. drafted 80 years ago, is not able to cope with the large amount of intangible property. This tax would call on every citizen to car- t ry his share.” Winfield Miller, Rep., Indianapolis, spoke for the measure as one that would "reach the thousands ' of persons who now do not have | property and do not contribute to' the cost of government. It would; , spread the burden over all citizens,” Miller said, "and its passage ' would not require an apology to I the poor man."

coffee. Luncheon: tomato juico or grapefruit juice cocktail, a salad sans dressing (tomato, lettuce or vegetable salad will do nicely) and coffee, or tea. and a few slices of Melba toast, without butter. Dinner: clear soup, roast meat, baked potato, lettuce salad and for dessert fruit (and only fruit, no pie or cake). It might sound tough to young ladies who like their ice cream and Boston cream pie, but it's easy once you get started. At least, so “Peaches” vows. “If I get hungry between meals | I drink a glass of orange juice, or I eat an apple," say« Frances. “I'm I thumbs down on fudge cake and I chocolate sundaes, which used to bie my big weaknesses.”
