I Day after tomorrow is the dead- 1 line for securing your automobile license if you propose to drive the flivver, according to orders just issued. Use your own judgment. The government will try out the 1 allotment plan on wheat and cotton p and if that works they can easily. l add other grains and produce to ' the list. And we hope it works. 1 t Judge De Voss has worked out his s calendar for the court term and it ' looks like a busy time for he and his assistants. The list includes 1 . 11 a number of important causes. 1 Only two weeks in which to take £ advantage nf our special offer on 1 the Daily Democrat by mail and ' those who wish to renew should 1 look after this before March Ist. 1 — These are line mornings for buck- : wheat cakes and sausages and if you have that bill of fa>’e, you are as well off as the : host man in the world. Let’s help put the sugar factory over and then keep busy on getting other wheels started. After all . getting out of the depression is largely up to the individual and 1 the community In which he resides. One of the big jobs for President ■ Roosevelt will be so dividing taxes that it doesn’t come out of the , same pocket as the state revenue does. While that perhaps don’t : make it any easier, it may seem so. , To be safe they ought to put I John Mills and the rest of his cult 1 in a place where they won’t sacri- ( flee any more lives on the altar of their peculiar religious cult. Such : fanatics are not safe to run at large. The war on cigarette prices will prove popular now when taxes are being added ll many states. And it looks like a real battle between the big distributors of these popu- ’ lar smokes. The meeting of farmers at Mon- • motith tomorrow evening will be a delightful event and of much importance. Questions of interest to every agriculturist will be discussed and the program includes several addresses that you will enjoy hearing. Less than half the automobile owners have purchased new license tags for 1933 aud the department has issued orders that you must have them by the 15th of this month. They have been very len-I lent but there is of course a limit, as to how long the time can be extended, and it seems to have beeu reached. Opposition to a bill to atop hitchhiking is coming from an Unexpected source, students in college. AUTO LOANS Borrow needed money on your auto. Repay on easy terms. Confidential Service. Franklin Security Co. Over Schafer Hardware Store Decatur, Ind Phone 2.3-7

Boys who attend Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame, Butler, teacher’s colleges and others, frequently use that method to go homo over the week-end and this proposed law, would make that impossible. Hitch hiking may be a nuisance but after all the motorist doesn’t have to pick them up and we do have a good many laws now. It begins to look like Indiana will have a sales tax, but we doubt if it will continue any great length i of type, for after all the people are 'the government and usually get what they want in the final analysis. The law now going through would give destitute citizens, over 70 years of age and who have resided in the county at least fifteen years, a pension of sls per month, half of which must be paid by tlie county and half by the state. There are two sides to the question and each has a lot of powerful argument, so better think it over. Perhaps the best way to do that is to try it a while. The Berne Witness has evidently joined those Republican papers i « which propose to criticize every thing done in hopes they can again take over the reins of government in the state and nation. In the | last issue of that paper they make quite a squeal over the fact that proposals were filed with the county commissioners for furnishing I stone, gravel and sand. The out- 1 look is that but little of this material will be used this year and that the county will not lose auy money because of following the law. The members of the board are honest men, anxious to protect the tax payers of Adams county 1 and will gladly welcome advice from well meaning sources. There , are however some indications that this attack is political, pure and simple. o * * Test Your Knowledge Can you answer seven of these test question? Turn to page Four for the answers. 1.

! Indianapolis. Feb. 13 — (V P) '(Special!- The big feature of a > I week of honest to goodness work . in the Indiana General Assembly p was the passage in a single day of •he county salaries readjustment j■ measure. The bill wjs introduced Thursday . morning -and was passed by both. Houses in a stormy night session Thursday night. It wasn’t a pleas-1 ; ant task for the Administration, but' I the reductions were in line with private enterprise salary cuts, a'od the, measure mt with the approval of almost everyone but the politicians. The state highway commission j bill will go to the Governor Mon-! day for his signature, and it is be-, lieved he will name the new com-; mission immediately. There is much speculation as to who the three new' members will be, but the appointments are being closely guarded by Governor McNutt. The barber regulation bill, which I passed the House last week will have its inning in the Senate this I week, and while a number of Senators are vigorously opposed to the measure met with the approval of be sufficient strength to pass the bill. The office of county highway superintendent was abolished Friday by the passage of Senate bill No. 1, which will go to the governor Monday or Tuesday. The sales tax and income tax measures will come up again dur ing the next week, and hundreds of merchants are expected to journey to Indianapolis in opposition to the sales tax.
