CITY ORGANIZATIONS: Instructions have been issued from Democratic state headquarters for the reorganization of the Democratic city committees to conduct the municipal elections in 102 cities and towns of the state this year. The reorganization sessions ire scheduled for the afternoon of Saturday, February 25. Emphasis is being placed from date headquarters on the importance of the city reorganization. Those eligible to vote and take part in the meetings are the preeiiict committeemen and commit-tee-women residing in the precincts within the boundries of the cities and towns in which elections will be held. The presiding officer for the opening of the meetings will be the city chairman elected to serve for the municipal campaigns four years ago. In case of a vacancy. a temporary chairman can be selected by the county chairman, the selection to be a member of the county committee who is a resident of the city affected. Reorganization of the city committee shall include the election of a chairman, a vice-chairman, secretary and treasurer. The latter two may be left to the discretion of the chairman to appoint and this has been the rule in several cities in the past. The new chairmen are also expected to name all the committees which wi’l operate with the city organization during the campaign. Approximately sixty per cent of the mayors of Indiana cities are Democrats who were elected four years ago. the first year in which the Democratic party showed evidence of staging a come-back in Indi.ma politics. The following year the party carried the state in (he state election and with the united strength shown by the organization during the last campaign, leaders of the party are expressing utmost confidence that th" percentage of Democratic city officials will be increased with the election this year. There may be some argument to the reduction of the number of trustees but to have only two in a county the size of this ono might prove a little too much for convenience and service. A measure to change, the county government will be discussed in a Saturday caucus of Democrats in the Indiana legislature Saturday and it Will bo drastic enough if made a no usme as proposed to make every om- sit up and wonder just whqt is going on in this good old fashioned slate.

Bryant and Portland on No. 27 that have caused a good many headaches the past few years, will be resurfaced, this year. The state highway commission has advertised for bids to be received the 21st of this month and the work must be completed by July Ist. That will be a great improvement for it takes care of the only bum stretch of road ’ between Cincinnati and Fort Wayne. When the beet acreage is securled lets have a jubilee day and make it a holiday for we feel sure it marks the beginning of a better ' era for the community. The operation of the big sugar plant here means employment of labor, a cash crop for the farmers, trucking, freight and a general .movement towards a busier and more profitable period. President-elect Roosevelt has in mind the development of Muscle Shoals to an extent never attempted by any country for any enterprise. He figures it will help solve j the unemployment problem and I will aid over the years to come in nine or ten states. Its a big undertaking but so is any thing else that amounts to much. The Decatur Chamber of Commerce is ready for business and ; one of the first things on the program will be to invite every business man. manufacturer and interested citizen to become a member for the year 1933. There are many important matters to come up during the year and your genuine support is desired. Ail the groundhogs except the blind ones living in this territory, saw their shadows yesterday. So get ready for some kind of weath I er the next six weeks, which is what we have a« this time of year any way. The bill to consolidate the government of Indiana into eight divisions passed both houses of the i legislature yesterday, Senator Perkins nnda Tew partisan Republicans to the contrary notwithstanding. Opposition to the proposed sales tax in Indiana continues to grow and it looks as though it will be the most difficult part of the program to put over. The name McMillen is sufficient to guarantee to the people of this community that whatever he is connected with will be good for the public.

Bird's Eye Vieu) Os The Legislature From Dick’s Desk (Written exclusively for the Democrat by Dick Heller)

Indianapolis, Feb. 2.—(Special)—, The Indiana state senate has just closed the most dramatic session in its more than 100 years of his-1 tory. The administration consolidation of departments bill passed 39-7 and likewise passed the House 80-15, but the thrill of a legislative life time was given to the hundreds of spectators who jammed into the Senate chamber at 11 o'clock this morning. Senator Chester A. Perkins, bitter foe of the administration took the floor when the consolidation measure was called up by Senator Anderson Ketchum, floor leader. Perkins first offered a motion to indefinitely postpone further con-, sideration of the bill. The motion' was overruled and Perkins refused to relinquish the floor. He spoke for half an hour charging that the Democrats had sold j out to Governor Paul V. McNutt. About half the members of the senate walked out of the chamber, but Perkins undaunted continued [his tirade. 1 After several talks by members lof the senate in support of the j measure, including one by Sen. T. 1 IA. Gottschalk. Adams county, Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend called for a roll call on the passage of the measure. I I Perkins immediately arose to a point of personal privilege and] when he was not recognized, he attempted to filibuster during the: roll call. As John Rothrock, roll clerk, called the roll, Perkins, pacing up and down across the chamber continued to shout: "I am standing on my constitutional rights to be heard. The bill is not being legally passed. I will i appeal the action to the United States Supreme court.” When the clerk camo to the name of Perkins, he refused to vote and continued his filibuster. The total vote showed that only one Democrat, Sen. Janjes Brewster had voted against the hill and Townsend declared the measure passed. Perkins continued to attempt to gain recognition of lhe President, and Sen. Jacob Weiss. Indianapolis, prepared a motion to have the ■ Senator from St. Joseph expelled. Sen. Ketchum moved to adjourn before the Weiss motion could be read. > A crowd gathered around Perkins' desk at the close of the session i in defense of It. Earl Peters, state 1 chairman, who camo in for a big 1 share of attack, but tho door-keep-ers sent the crowd out into the flails. i Before the consolidation measure I came up for action the Senate pass- ■ ed the Dennigan bill, calling for 2 . per cent maximum on small loans instead of the present 3’/4 per cem r per month law. The hill failed to ! receive a constitutional majority earlier in the week, but the vote - today favored passage, 26-21. The measure now goes to the

House where another stiff fight is expected. The beer bill in the House is still in committee, but it is stated by those close to the administration that the measure will take a long ride toward passage next week. More than 375 bills have been introduced in the two houses to date land indications are that the usual I SOO or 900 proposals will be stuffed ■ into the various committees before: adjournment. Many people, visiting here this week, expressed confidence in the consolidation plans and Senator I Ketchum today speaking on passage said that it was only the first of a series of plans to save millions of dollars in the operation of the state. Job seekers still continub to : clamor at the Governor s office and at Democratic state headquarters.; So far, it iA reported there are! more than 25.000 applications for
