Greetings to children and teachers and every good wish for a happy and enjoyable year. Labor Day would have seemed more like a holiday if ten million workmen could have resumed their jobs this morning. Schools opened, court was resumed, the county commissioners and county council met today and the fall program of activities got under way. Up and at ’em these days. Fall weather, better business conditions and promise of bumper crops should mean much activity during the next three months, so let's put our shoulders to the wheel and do things. Vacations arc over and the fall season is at hand. Even the breezes this morning were in keeping with the season ami everyone was feeling tlut it was time to start on a new program and accomplish those things which they put off during tile summer months. Mexico gets a new president and New York City has a new mayor. Over in the southern republic President Rubio resigns and. in less than 48 hours a successor is named. In New York Joseph V. McKee automatically became mayor of the city when Mayor Walker resigned. The new executives are able gent'emen and in Walker's tare it looks like Gotham might besatisfied with the new executive to the degree that they will want him | to servo the unexnired term, which runs until December. 1933. Levies for fire hydrant rental and ornamental street lighting in Decatur, have been reduced fifty per cenf for next year. The charges as made 1 in the tentative budget are greatly tinder cost and the municipal plant will do its share in relieving the* tax burden in this city. The charge now made for ornamental street lighting is so nominal, $2,000 fi year, that it is hardly worih considering. With more than 650 ornamental posts scattered over tawn, the average charge would be around $15,000. The city council proposes to cut

the civil city’s tax rate at least 10 cents on the hundred dollars for next year, a wonderful showing despite the hlg drop in property valu- • ations. The budget for next year it has been reduced from $44,000 to approximately $29,000, which If . based on the old and higher valu- '■ ations would equal a cut of about 1 22 rents in the rate. Final adoption of the budget will not be made •> " until September 20 and in the moann time the councilmen and Mayor Krick will continue work on it and 5 make every saving possible. a Much anxiety Is expressed that the operation of the $1.50 tax-rate law enacted by the legislature a few weeks ago will force numerous local units of government to default both interest and principal payments upon their bonded indebtedness. Others see in the stringent new law such destruction of public credit in municipalities as will close ail markets to local bond isssues so long as that acct remains in force. On the first count of this indictment of the law there need be no great concern. County boards of tax adjustment can provide the means by which local government , in any ease may promptly and entirely meet its fixed charges. There will he no occasion for any unit of government in this state to file a voluntary confession of insolvency. The framers of the new tax law had some notion of those possible contingencies in mind when they embodied in the law a provision for competent and lawful adjustment of budgets and tax rates. On the second count of the indictment there need be even less I gravity of concern for possible consequences. There is a feeling, as well settled as it is wide-spread, that save in critical emergencies no local unit of government in the Hoosier commonwealth will be the worse off for a rather prolonged holiday in the creation of public debt. A survey of the state discloses everywhere a pretty fair condition with respect to city streets and township highways. The!?* has been a fine flare of schoolhouse building for a good many years. Material improvements have been going on so rapidly and in such volume as that few units ot government need consider any- j thing immediate as an emergency. A period of cessation except for such public enterprises as are em-1 braced in the category of self-liquid- j ating works will not be a half-bad ! thing—Journal-Gazette. ♦ — * i Household Scrapbook -By— ROBERTA LEE • -— * How to Make Moth Paper To make a moth paper, melt together 4 ounces cf naphthalene end 8 ounces of paraffin wax.

My next picture, for in- r | stance, may not require it at all.” 1 Though convinced of the Justice - 1 of her argument, Joan is rather upset about all the talk. No actress in • Hollywood is more earnest about her work or more sensitive to criticism. Personal appearances terrify I her. Before she would promise to attend the coming premiere of , “Rain,” everyone in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and United Artists i organization had to guarantee she i would not be called on to make a speech. For one of Hollywood’s first actresses, Joan has a lot of humility. < [ You’d like this girl personally. It is, undeniably, a funny business.
