NEW BANKING LAWS: Conscientious financiers of Indiana are of one accord that if nothing else were accomplished in the session of the state legislature the passage of the one measure creating a new state banking department is an achievement that will reflect unlimited credit on the administration and legislature. This was administration measure. it adhered to a plank in the platform of the Democratic party and it followed the recommendations of a nonpartisan commission which spent the greater part of two years in investigation and search of the evils of the laws controlling the operation of banks in the state. Non partisan opinion holds that it is the most modern banking code in the country and that it will he the model for similar reforms in other states which have experienced the same difficulties encountered in Indiana. Under the provisions of the law Indiana becomes the thirty-eighth state to abolish the evils of bank receiverships. There will be no receivers for closed bunks in Indiana in the future, liquidation of these institutions being brought under direct control of the hanking department. No longer will depositors and stockholders of defunct banks have reason to fee) that their interests and equities re being dissipated by individuals whose sole claim to sere in the capacity of liquidating agent is based on past politic!! activity. While the new banking law sets up more strict regulations for the safeguard of those who do business with financial institutions it also extends the powers of the banking department so that the department can easily be of service aud not , officiate in the capacity of a dummy organization. The tanking detar. ment is supreme in its jurisdiction and its control over banks to the ultimate safety of the public. This new law should and will restore public confidence in financial institutions. That would have saved many of th, bunks which have been forced to suspend because the phblic was overcome with fear and THEADAMS Sun. Mon. Tues.

skepticism. Any measure that will recreate public confidence is certainly commendatory. — South Bend News-Times. Franklin Delano Roosevelt bet came President of the United States today, succeeding Herbert Hoover. He is the first Democrat . to assume that high office since 1 i Woodrow Wilson retired in 1921. I He enters upon the duties of chief !, executive under circumstances as k I J serious and grave as were those j when George Washington became I President and he will need the ’ patriotic support of every good ( citizen if he is to win. With the banking situation just beginning to clear up, with millions out of employment. with the farmers in distress and business almost at a standstill, it requires the courage of a Roosevelt to meet it with a smile. A crowd of 250,000 cheered the new leader and fervently prayed hat his new deal will be a complete success. John Garner of i Texas became vice-president today and will preside over the senate with the same dignity with which he has led the house. The administration begins today. We hope it will prove four wonderful years of progress and accomplishment. There should be 5,000 acres of beets in Adams county. So far the total contracted is only about a third of that. During the next week, special effort will be made in this territory and if it isn’t secured, the contracts will be given to farmers outside this vicinity. Every effort should be made to secure as many acres here as possible. That’s good common sense for it brings the money here and makes it better for every one. In these days when the future looks somewhat cloudy, we should lose no time in grasping this opportunity. Sugar beet growers and workers in the Sidney. Montana, district have just received more than a million dollars for the 1932 crop, sliced and refined at the Holly Sugar Company plant there. That’s I a wonderful income for any com- I munity. We can have it here and | the more Adams county farmers who get in on it. the better it will be. If they don't lift the moratorium, how will the folks pay their income taxes? And the revenue collectors hold thit the fact the funds are tied up is no excuse. The bill must be paid. Well, maybe. If it can't be. it won’t and added penalties under present conditions, won’t prove popular. Basketball is king over this week-end and will continue to attract general attention through the middle west the next couple of weeks. It's great sport for the fans and the best tonic for fagged nerves we know of. The new deal is on and we hope it brings all and more than was promised or hoped for. o Household Scrapbook —By—!I; ROBERTA LEE I Indelible Ink Stains II Stains on white materials from an | indelible ink pencil can be removed by soaking in a fairly strong solu lion of ammo' ih mid water.

rollicking star believes she can do better at radio and personal appearances, so the company has agreed to cancel the rest of her contract. U n doubtedly, this means the end of one of the most successful comedy teams in the history of pictures, Polly and Marie Dressier. They clicked sensationally in “The

Callahans and the Murphies’’ and : followed up with four more pic- • tures, the last being “Prosperity.” . If the demand is sufficient, M-G-M , can, of course, recall Polly for more I engagements I doubt, how- ' ever, if she will be anxious to re- 1 turn in the near future. There never was a star who so loved an audience. Many is the time I’ve seen Polly get up in a night club and clown the stay-up-lates into hysterics. At parties she and William Haines are hilarious. No doubt about the reception she will receive on a personal appearance tour. Still, M-G-M will not seem the same place without this jolly star. In five years she has become a fixture at the Culver City studio. We’ll be missing her. - Very funny, that brush between the news photographers and the movie troupe filming the sinking of a destroyer. The photogs had come up in a water-taxi to take pictures of the | scene. Plenty of opposition developed, with the result that the watertaxi was escorted away. As it deI parted shoreward one of the photogs discovered a lifeboat with some I dummies in it. “What are those?" he shouted. I “Seasick yesmen?” I HOLLYWOOD PARADE. The comeback road opens un for i Anna Q. Nilsson at last. Hollywood’s chanjpion hard-luck star will take the leading role in a modernized stage version of “Hedda Gabler,” opening at the Hollywood Music Box early in March. It will be the first thing she has done since her unfortunate accident of several years ago. Needless to say, Hollywood stars will make it a first night to be talked about.

Well, Mr. CulbcitSvll backcu out, and what’s to do about it, The bridge expert called off his match with the Marx brothers after Paramount had made extensive preparations and had sent out 150 invitations. In excuse, he said he thought the match was a joke and was astounded to find the Marx brothers were taking it seriously. He says he still believes the motion picture stars are far better kibitzers than they are bridge players. Chico Marx countered with an offer to play the bridge champ a match with $5,000 at stake. Which sort of leaves Mr. Culbertson on the spot. Have you heard about the Fredric Marchs’ three-year plan?
