The people generally feel that Secretary of the Treasury Woodin, President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull will work out a sound, safe and practical plan which will restore the financial situation and aid business generally. Congress will meet Thursday and if we are not greatly mistaken, it will be a little the liveliest and most satisfactory session, in many years. The program is now being worked out and they will adopt it and go home. And that's some more business that will help. Every business man in Decatur is urged to attend the meeting at i the Chamber of Commerce tonight, j when a report on the beet acreage so far signed, will be made and plans discussed for securing the' balance in this country. It's mighty j important. And a year ago they were trying’ to side-track Franklin D. Roosevelt j by declaring he lacked spine. From i what can be noticed he has a back-1 bone a foot wide and along with it a lot of good common sense. His first address, to the American Legion, Sunday night, displayed a rare talent for saying the right thing at the right time. We are coming through the banking coliapse in much better condition than most communities and in a few days every one will be smiling in relief, after the strenuous days of the past month and intermitenly for the last three years. The new structure will be built upon a sound basis and it Will be better for every one. One of the field men lor the sugar company said today, that the way the contracts are coming in, he predicted that within a week or two, many will be clamoring to sign contracts and it will be too late. Each day now we are draw ing nearer the limit of 12.000 acres and when that is reached—that's all. Claude G. Bowers is to be Amer-

ican ambassador to Spain, it is said by news gatherers on the inside and that will be great news for his thousands of Hoosier friends who recognize his splendid ability t and kuow his integrity. As a public speaker, historian, newspaper writer, he has gained much fame and it is fitting indeed that he i should now add to his career by this experience and at the same > time serve his nation. !i There is one satisfaction conj corning the banking situation and 11 that is that we are at the bottom. 'j When the new plans are announced i Thursday we are sure an upward I trend will begin that will carry us steadily to a victory over the terrible depression which climaxed over the week-end in the darkest days in America since the Civil War. There is no panic and no fear. People every where taking it with a smile. In ibis community, the First State Bank withstood all attacks and were ready to continue. Few banks in the country made so good a showing and we are informed they will reopen Friday morning, without restrictions, except those that may be fixed by the President or Governor McNutt. The 1933 legislature is historv.' It was the busiest in years and | many laws of greatest importance ; to every one were passed. Of' course many are critical and will be until they discover that after all. they are not badly hurt and that the course pursued was the only one that could possibly bring ultimate success and good times for J Indiana. Those who realize what ! , has been done by the legislature ; i declare it to have been the greatI est session ever held in the state. Several hundred laws made and 'each was given careful considerjation. Governor McNutt will now i begin in earnest his job of com- ! plelely reorganizing the state and l will see Hut it operates efficiently jand smoothly. Citizens in general (should and will support him. This nation mourns today because of the death of Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago, the result of a I bullet fired presumably at Mr. Roosevelt. The mayor, who assumed office in Chicago when that city was bankrupt and when gangsters ruled, had proven his ability to cope with large problems. His city was coming through in an excellent manner and he would soon have been heralded as one of the leading executives of the nation. Resting upon his death bed he unselfishly remarked that he was glad he had received the bullet, instead of Mr. Roosevelt, und only a gloat man could say that and mean it as he did. Not only Chicago, but the entire country, will pay tribute to Mayor Cermak. His assassin, nowserving eighty years sentence in prison, will be tried for murder, convicted and probably executed within as brief a period of time as the law permits. o Dairy Herd Meeting At Monroe Friday The Adams county dairy herd improvement A'asociation and farm reeoid keepers will be field Fri- | day evening, March 10 at the high school auditorium in Monroe. O. G. Johanningsmeier, extension specialist ii farm management will have I charge ot the meeting.

Similar support was accorded the administration when the $1 4.000.1100 gross income and sales tax bill was passed. It was one of several bills intended to balance the budget and j reduce the t.ix on property. Other taxation measures would charge automobile drivers 50 cents! for a license each year. This billj originally provided for a $1 tax but I it was amended in the legislature I last night. An intangibles tax law was en-; acted. Still more revenue will be 1 raised under the beer control bill 1 if the 18th amendment is repealed. I The property tax rate maximum of! $1.50 was lowered to $1 outside cities and towns. The tax on large chain store operators was upped considerably. Under the classification of liber-j al legislation, the assembly passed ! an old age pension bill and anotksri measure outlawing yellow dog contracts and preventing injunctions! in labor disputes. Dry Law Repeal Probably the most liberal action [ taken, however, was repesl of the I Wright "bone dry" law. considered the most stringent state liquor en-I forcement act north of the Mason ' and Dixon line. Chief among other administra ! tion measures passed were those: , Reorganizing the public service commission and the state highway ! commission. Liberalizing the utility laws to make it easier for municipalities to acquire public utilities. Postponing municipal elections in 102 cities until 1931. Reorganizing the hankirg department with a view toward placing greater restrictions on bank officials: limiting the interest rates on petty loans. Repealing the teacher tenure law

Are We Proud? The Citizens of Decatur can be justly proud of their (wo banks, as they never close, never stop taking in or putting out. One bank is the river bank and <he other the sand bank. Neither of these two banks have anything on us. We take in and put out daily. No moratorium; come in and look over our fence stock; it’s complete even to terms and price. Cash Coal & Supply Yard R.
