VAN NUYS ON OFFENSIVE: The campaign for the election of n United States Senator from Indiana gives promise of being the 1 hiUof the political show in the state | thfß fall. The reason for this is the personality of Frederick Van Nays, Democratic candidate for thij post, who lias demonstrated i at«*he very start that he does not intend ui permit Janies Eli Watson to get by with the sleight of hand 1 performances which were thrillers '■ bejpre the public began to realize ■ that trjj’ks are frequently deceptive. Watson is facing the type of cam- , pajgn with which he has never had , in the past. He has always adopted tile offensive. He excused Republican failures two years I ago with the lightly given state- , inßit that the depression was only a jtate of mind. He excused his 1 dabbling in the sugar market by 1 remarking that he had , paid tor tile stock with a worthless note. He settled the prohibition 1 question in his own mind by giggling forth an explanation that the <lpys have their way, the wets have tlftir liquor and everybody should h«. satisfied. In other words. Wat- ’ ton has been having an enjoyable j time at the expense of the public ( of- Indiana. Tint "the panic lias taught the 1 people* of Indiana and all states , first the business of government demands serious thought. That is what Mr. VanNuys proposes to give I them. In contrast to the evasion, i inconsistency, frivolity and pussyfooting of Mr. Watson, the Democfjgtic candidate for United States 1 Senator, with all sincerity, states he is willing to commit himself on any and all questions. He declares tills is one campaign when the people have the right to know where ; a randidate stands. f)f course, a Republican newspaper editorially admitting that Mr. ■ VanNuys has many sincere ad- 1 mirers. suggests that he is starting his campaign on a low plane wjien he declares that if the gov- 1 ecment can supply money to the ; c"assos it can also protect the , masses. The Star shows itself as inconsistent as Watson when, in 1 the same editorial, it states that i "the interest of all the people , shttnld be paramount," just the policy advocated by Mr. VanNuys. ’The Democratic candidate for the Chited States Senate lias not wait- , od for Mr. Watson to get going liefffre starting the fight. Mr. VanMuys has put Watson on the defensive and the senator is likely to f'tpd the going very rough over a I'olitical road he lias never traveled before. Watson on the defensive will lie another kind of WatsfOn. for his frivolous nature will liave no chance to assert itself as he attempts to meet the serious, consistent and reliable broadsides of Frederick VanNuys. We will soon begin to feel the i+t effects of a reduction in taxes wad salaries for even such a welcome movement as that has its drawbacks. The state highway commission has announced that

they will have to reduce their force twenty-five per cent and curtail the building of roads. It Is stated that 375 technical men will be laid off early next month and by the first of the year the army of Employes will be cut in two. With little if any road building in the counties the new order will mean greater unemployment and In that way wi'l add to our difficulties. Indianapolis will have one of the new Home Loan banks, making it convenient for those people of the district Indiana and Michigan—to contact tile institution. The new bank is for the purpose of loaning money to those who desire to build, lake care of a mortgage which must be paid, building a loan associations and also certain banks. Twelve of these banks will be opened over the United States and in the cities chosen there need be no difficulties in securing rooms and equipment, since in each place may lie found several banking plants which have closed. Those who believe that the state police have nothing to do may be surprised to learn that during the month of July they patrolled 176,550 miles of Indiana highway, made 321 arrests and recovered 582 autos in six months. A state police force properly managed is one of the greatest protections any commonwealth can have. In states like Pennsylvania where the organization has been built over a period of years, it is efficient and so necessary that the citizens would prefer savings in any other department than that. Al Smith will be in a new roll as editor of “Outlook" but one which will continue to be interesting. His articles will be eagerly looked for and read by millions who have ihe greatest confidence in him. Os one thing be sure. He will write what he believes and in language you will understand for he is fearless as well as able and his ideas cl government are always worth considering whether you agree one hundred per cent or not. Local taxing officials are making a strenous effort to reduce budgets so they will please every citizen and meet the requirements of the local special board as well as the state tax commission, to whom appeal may be made if ten persons so desire. Probabilities are that when the rates are definitely decided upon by the local officers, the cut will be sufficient to satisfy every one. At Columbia City the tax adjustment board will have a real job. The present rate there is $3.94 and with the reduced valuations, every one is at sea as to how it can be cut to $1.50 as required by law. Os course it can’t be but it will probably be considerably under the present rate. If the farmers continue to strike and thus hold on to their grain and produce, what will the cities do for food? There is just one answer and that's the one sought — they must pay sufficient to warrant the farmer to continue in business. State election commissioners have ordered 1,850.000 state ballots printed for the coming election, indicating that a large vote is anticipated and that the date of the gieat event is approaching. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. * . > .... « 1.
