Pay your subscription to the Daily Democrat. It's a bargain and you ought to keep yourself posted on what is going on in your community. The governor has signed the bill granting a one-year moratorium on the sale of tax delinquent property. That will help temporarily but after all it must be paid and the sooner, the better. — The merchant who doesn't adver-; Use now Is taking the slow and easy way out of business. Keep I fighting and keep up the buying j spirit of the public. We are com-1 ing back and it will be easier if i you help. Complete election returns dis- ■ close that Mr. Hoover carried only one county on the Pacific coast, and not a single one in the state I of Georgia. The one county on the Pacific was Benton in Oregon, a county named for one of the most active Democrats in history. I Governor Roosevelt will try to settle the foreign debt problem and we have faith enough to believe he will do it. And more than that he is going to solve some U. S. problems that will improve conditions and make it possible to keep the good old Ship of State i going. Normally in this country thn in-I dustrial equipment ordered annually totalo six billion dollars. Last year this was only one billion. If the plants ever get going again, there will be a big rush for machinery that will choke the producers. Good news concerning the prospects for operating the sugar plant here continue and within another thirty days, we feel confident, the community will be gladened by the progress being made. No better break could come for Adams county than the reopening of the beet and sugar business here. They seem to finally have Huey Long stopped but he is a reckless, smooth, smart politician and may break out again unless they find away of choking him and there are rumors that they have it it they decide to use it. He will perhaps furnish a lot of newspaper material, one way or another, before he returns to Louisiana. Wo arc very glad to have the people of the community use our “Voice of the People” column to express their opinions but it is not open to those who wish to say ugly things “to those with whom they have had controversy.

If you have an opinion on any problem, you are welcome to proclaim it but that does not mean personal abuse to make your point. Joseph A. Long, Portland business man until recently, rated as a millionaire, must serve three ! years in prison and pay a fine of ■ $5,000 for trying to hide his assets i so as to pull a bankruptcy proceedings. Officials ran down his game, | investigations covering several , states and when the trial got uni der way and his attorneys saw I that they had the facts in hand, I the sponge was thrown up. It | doesn’t pay to fool with Uncle Sam | and as smart a man as Long should have known better. The. Wabash river dredge case will be appealed to the supreme | court, it is announced by attorineys for the remonstrators, unless ’.Judge Kister should grant a new trial which will first be asked and that is improbable. Making this improvement under present conditions, when the taxes are limited, when every one up to the governor of the state is insisting upon less expenditures, looks like tackling something and we still don't believe it will he dor.-? for several years at least, even if the improvement is a necessary one which many folks doubt. The proposed state income tax comes under the heading of a budget-balancing gesture. It would be a very weak thing, indeed, on which to depend for funds. The constitutional limitations on taxation are so generally recognized that two attempts have been made to enact an income tax amendment and a third one has been launched by the present General Assembly and indorsed by Governor McNutt, former dean of the Indiana university law school. If, as is conceded on all sides, an income tax would not stand the constitutional test, why waste time considering such a proposal?—lndianapolis Star. Springtime will soon be here again and farmers will be at work in the fields preparing for another harvest. Prices for farm products aro at the lowest level in many years, but the work of tilling the soil goes on regardless of the depression. The American farmer is a man of courage and knows nothing about an eight-hour job, for he works from cniip to sundown. He has taken the upsets of the depression on the chin, but he will not admit defeat. The farmer realkas that he atill is the backbone of American life and that much depends upon his work. All of us can learn much from the I, farmer who has been tilling the soil through the times of prosperity and depression.—Hartford City News.

That is when a trustee has a part time job he could divide with some one who really deserves It. Any one with common sense would answer yes. Tom Noll is the kind of a trustee we should have. One who really does help the poor. Our trustee is the kind who hogs everything and gives to his pets. Early this fall a Mrs. J asked Mr. Trustee if he couldn’t give her or some of her family a job so she wouldn't have to ask the county for aid. Did be offer it; any way to help her? NO. Said he had his help all hired. Yes, sure he did too — trustee before him had them for all of his terms. But that wasn’t all. Here’s what he did 4 months later: One of the school bus drivers hasn’t been driving his bus all time so what does Mr. Trustee do but hire Mr. and Mrs. Janitor's and school bus driver’s 22 year old unmarried son. making 3 incomes in one small family. Oh, yes and he told Mrs. J. that he couldn't hire one of her boys, because they were not capable of handling the job of driving a bus. Bah! One unmarried boy is just as capable as the other and I know them both. MRS. X. Y. Z. o —- * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File Miss Anna Yager is visiting inFort Wayne.

NORRIS LAME DUCK CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NEAR co.nuxued from page one I such group, can obstruct all action and even kill off appropriation bills ; necessary to provide money for opi eration of the government. The lame duck amendment —, whose author, Senator George Nor-1 ns, Repn., Neb., was one of the willful 12 denounced by Wilson —will allow each session to run tndefinitely. It leaves no deadline for tiltIbustering speakers to shoot at. They can be worn down if they persist and the prospect of ultimate failure is expected to prove discouraging in most instances. ! States which have ratified the! lame duck amendment are Virginia.' New York, Mississippi, New Jersey.

Paris Styles Bv Mary Knight United Press Staff Correspondent Paris—t UP)—Dark color < never used to be considered very thrilling —toned us down too much and made us feel soil of drab. Something was very wrong with the lights aud shadows hi those parti-S cular dark'colors we used tv use because today the darker tones are by far the most alluring on the col- '., - i or chart. Take that dark hyacinth blue of; Madame Schiaparellis' for instance Could anything possibly be more downright thrilling? It fairly pulsates with life and laughter when made up into an evening gown This iltalio-Parisian dressmaker wore it herself the other night at a dinner party at the Case de Paris. A clever arrangement of two scarves created a long line effect through the body. The scarves start at a "V decol-1 letage and are tied in padded folds at the back. With this she wore, ain amusing little ruffled bolero of | shirred velvet ribbon made of row upon row of ribbon superposes one (over the other. The bolero is one of the best examples of the short evening coat because evening coats. Schiaparelli says, are either as short as a good joke or else roman-; tically long and imposing affairs,! via the Moven age influence. — Mrs. Theodore McClintock of Boston, Massachusetts, who is visiting 1 with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.
