We appreciate your loyal support and wo promise you very effort m-prove to you that our great dei !«• is to furnish you all the news of this field each day. It may be alright to criticize Gqyeraor Roosevelt because he d ips not favor a sales tax if the out thing in mind is politics but after all it seems to us better judgment to favor a reduction of cost of government, rather than any new tax. That's part of our trouble, duu't fool yourself, taxes beyond aUiiity to pay and adding to them w jll certainly never solve the problejp. These Decatur towns are good oiks it seems. A little city by that n<«iie down in Georgia, closed the y-iar 1932 with all bill.; paid, no

and no record of closing schools or cutting pay and then reduced the taxes fifteen per cent. Well, here we have about the same situation so far as being out of debt is concerned and we have a dandy reserve and are in a position to get going as soon as the depression starts clearing up. And tire taxes have been reduced nearly fifty per cent the past year. Senator Gottschalk is opposed to the sales tax and in his position will iiave much support for after all we do not get any where by coating new taxes. If a greater siftn is n<.«-<>s"’>ry to take car,- t) f tfflS state's requirements, Senator Gottschalk proposes to write into the budget hill a levy to cover same and we are of the opinion

that in the long run that would be! the soundest and most economical 1 plan. Its worth serious consider ' , ation and we believe when it gets . jto Governor McNutt will command i his attention and earnest thought. t ________ They tried to tell us during the • campaign that Roosevelt was a t weak member and didn't have backbone. So far that has never been proven. Fact, he seems to have J plenty of spine to tell those who ) are trying to put him in the nine- 1 » i hole to attend to their own bus- ' iness and he will try to manage I the affairs which come in connec--1 tion with his job. Looks to us as though he has courage and ability and every thing else necessary to lead us through the dark valley of the depression and bring us out to a happier era. The 78ti: session of the Indiana General Assembly opened today with a message from Governor Leslie which of course was just a discussion of his ideas of what ought i to be done in the state and a sum-1 ming up of general conditions.. . Governor McNutt, who will assume office next Monday will give | his message on Tuesday and then ' the work will start. It is the idea i of the new governor and his asso-1 ciates to make a record of accomplishment and speed that has never • been even attempted in Indiana ■ and the people arc looking to the! next few weeks with the hope of a better day. President Hoover is mad again.

.He thinks some one is trying to stall off his program for reduction! of government costs so that he won't get the credit. The people don’t care a hoot who gets the credit but they do want action that will start industry going and restore employment and they time for a lot of silly whining over o whose proposition does it. The President has only about sixty days 11 to serve and he can't be expected 1 1 to putltkreugH much of a program. 5 • VZ x ’ I. If he can help get things ready so 9 Mr. Roosevelt can go right ahead, e that's fine. 0 When Mr. Roosevelt becomes a president he is going to try to ! balance the budget by making the cost keep within the income. That's smart. And then he proposes to bring relief to farmers by a guaranteed price that will make them a profit and by an allottment program that the best agricultural leaders in America, say is practical. And that's smarter. And he proposes to do these things without the large appropriations which have been so predominant the past three or four years. And that’s the | smartest part of the program. Asi

long as we don't crea.e new debts ■ we won't have to pay thenj. Then i business will start and the wheels ! , will get going and the depression [ will be over. So let's all hope and ( pray and keep smiling. o TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY ’ I From the Daily Democrat File , January 5, 1913.—Mr. and Mrs. Henry Auman entertain 20 guests 1 at evening party.

the scenes between the two finally will get undo ; way as soon as he has recovered. The news of her next Fox assignment comes as something of a surpriae. because Lasky was thought ■ to be carrying on success! .1 nego- I Hattons to borrow Katharine Hep ' burn for “The Warrior's Husband." i It was tn this play that the new I R-K-0 star made ho r hit n j Broadway. Observe that Fox has completely abandoned its early policy in rela- | tion to Miss Land!. At first they songht to feature her in exotic roles Recently,- however, they loaned her to Paramount to play the Christian girl in "The King of Kings.” Now in “The Warrior’s Husband,” she essays comedy. Take it from Douglas Fairbanks, the English sense of humor is much under-rated. The toastmaster at a , dinner recently attended by Doug I in London raised his glass and I smilingly proposed: "Our American cousins—to whom we pwe everything.” Writing from the Hotel Majestic in Berlin, Tom Reed reports he has been signed to do the story for “S 0. S. Iceberg,” the picture which Universal sent Dr. Arnold Fa. ck to Iceland to photograph. The expedition got some marvelous material of falling icebergs, hand-to-hand fights with polar bears, airplane crashes, but uncertain shooting conditions prevented it from following any set story. This will be writ ■ ten by Reed and the tie-in shots will be photographed u> Bwiteeriand.

EX-RESIOENT j SENDSLETTER Will Miesse Writes Interesting Letter 1 rom Redding. Calif. The Daily Democrat has receivi ed a highly interesting letter from Will Miesse. Redding. California. I a former resident of Decatur Mr. Miesse is located in a gold mining district in the west and writes of many interesting things. Mr. Miesse's letter follows: j Deal J. H.:— Often think of you and last time sent you a card from New York City after I had returned from Old Mexico seven years ago. I'm here in the northern pail of California. 14 miles west of Redding at the foothills of the Siskii you mountains in Shasta county. I with the Churn River Mining Co. Can see Mt. Lassen 84 miles in the distance, elevation 11.296 recovered with snow. Here at the camp the weather- is most ideal. Nights a bit chilly. Have had plenty of rain recently but just what we have been waiting for 4jie past thret weeks so as to complete operating the drag-lines and sluice boxes. The company is originally from i New York. They have a lease on j 119 acres and the property is considered one of the best in all California owing to the fact it has never been worked. This is all placer mining and runs in spots from $1.75 to $5.40 per square yard. I certainly enjoy the work and get a big thrill helping take out the gold dust and flakes from the sluice boxes. Reminds me of what I used to read about the gold rush here in the same area to which the world and his brothier flocked in 1849. There are a ‘ number of prospectors just over
