Representative SCIIEERER, Inc., 415 Lexington Avenue, New York 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. MAKING GOOD: SumMariziiig the achievements of the seventy-eighth General Assembly of Indiana. Robert G. Tucker, correspendent for the Cincinnati Enquirer, states in that newspaper, that ' an administration in Indiana, for the"' first time in 50 years, has put through a program covering platform pledges of the party by winch it was chosen." Mr, Tucker describes the pro- ' cedure-of the session as follows: I "Hailed by unfriendly critics as I neophytes in politics. Governor McNutt and his coterie moved into high the first day of the session, and notwithstanding the opposition they never were obliged to shift ' gear. Furthermore, it was not evident at any period that they were disposed to deviate from the course they had charted for themselves and which, it is now being ; admitted, enabled them to put I thro u g h important enactments ■ which seemed almost, if not wholly, out of the question 60 days ago. "This administration, headed by a youthful governor whose chief lieutenants are men around 40. most of whom were unknown on the political big time a year and a half ago. has succeeded in less than 60 days in putting through measures which almost completely rearrange the scheme of government in this state.” Attention is called by Mr. Tucker to the enactment of legislation that permits reorganization of the systems of government in Indiana, to the creation of a new Public Service Commission, a new highway commission, a reduction of more than four million dollars in the state budget for the next two years, the adoption of a new and modern banking code and passage of a number of other measures »f equal importance. It is the opinion of Mr. Tucker in his article that the claims that the administration has made good on its program are not being disputed. Officials of the sugar factory are delighted with the large number of farmers in Adams county who have contracted for raising beets this year. That most of the con- ’ tracts are tor small acreage is entirely satisfactory for they feel this will give the new management the opportunity to prove that they i are deserving of the supimrt of the ! farmers and that’s all they are ask-1 ing. Tile men in charge will make every effort to assist the farmer to matte money, realizing that this is necessary to retain their support. If you haven't signed up, do so at once and get in on this opportunity to earn. The nation so far as business is concerned, marked Hffle the past week hut it was lime well spent at that for there were many things necessary before we could start off on a safe, sound, sensible ami possible basis. These things have been arranged nr are being taken cam of and wp feel that conlMence will be speedjly restored ami that we can now start on the march to better days, ft has been a terrible

period and every one will be glad to know we have hit bottom and are ready to start climbing out of the well. By the middle of the week most of the banks will be doing business and within a short time, the crisis , will have passed. Os course its ' inconvenient and trying but its better to be slowed up a week or , two than to have the entire financial structure collapse as was in sight ten days ago. The matter is being worked out and the fine thing about it is that the sensible methods are being used. The First State Bank here is ready to operate as soon as the word comes permitting them to do so and this detail is be- I ing looked after by Mr. Dugan and his associates. Grave anxiety was expressed .on every hand here as to the safety of the many Adams county folks who are now residing or visiting in southern California when news of the great earthquake came, j Every one here is sincerely hoping j they all came through without in-«j jury, either personally or to prop- I erty, and many messages express-I ing that desire have gone forward, i Life insurance companies have ' been forced to a moratorium on ! loans, which is not surprising, j When the banks were forced to; . tighten up. demands for loans from 1 I life insurance companies became ' | so numerous, that cash was soon j exhausted. The action taken at | this time was the only safe and' sound one to protect all policy holders. — President Roosevelt is keeping faith with the public by telling his position as to the various problems. , They like it and he will find it I safe to follow their desires. Conjgress may play politics but just now | the people are more interested ini getting the wheels of business and I industry started. It is a splendid position the Re- | publican members of congress are taking in supporting the President ; in these trying days. They realize I the importance ot the difficult problems now to be solved and are cooperating. certainly not to their disadvantage. Governor McNutt completed the ' big task of going over some 175 I bills passed the last week of the | legislature. He vetoed a number, i signed most of those passed and I used his very best judgment. That's ’ all that can be asked from him. f Test Your Knowledge I | Can you answer seven of these I | test question? Turn to page | | Four for the answers. | j 1.

Household Scrapbook —By— ROBERTA LEE « Sewing Heavy Material When stitching heavy material on the sewing-machine, such as cretonne or canvas, rub the seams with a hard soap and the needle will go through the material easily. A Laundry Hint It colored clothes and overalls are starched from the time of their first washing, the starch will prevent the dirt from getting into the fabric ‘and the sun will not fade the colors. Sauerkraut The odor of cooking sauerkraut can be avoided if a slice of bread is placed on top of the sauerkraut while it is cooking. PERMIT BANKS TO REOPEN IN TWELVE CITIES CONTINUED FppM PAG® ONE cials passed on the fitness of federal reserve member banks in these cities to reopen. State authorities were certifying state banks. Private banks such as J. P. Morgan £ Co., which are not members of the reserve system or under the immediate supervision i of any state authority, also were I permitted to reopen today, unless I prohibited by state restrictions. Secretary Woodin further auth-' orized the following institutions to 1 reopen his morning: all federal I reserve banks and their branches, ' federal land banks, federal inter- i mediate credit banks, joint stock land hanks, federal home loan banks, regional agricultural credit corporations, and the reconstruction finance corporation. Tuesday certified banks in about 250 ci l ies in which there are organized clearing houses may resume business. On Wednesday banks in all other cities and towns will reopen as fast as federal and state officials certify their sound- I uess and relax present state restrictions. Tile reopening was placed on I this gradual basis to afford ample , ■time for distribution of the new i federal reserve bank notes which ■ She bureau of engraving here is j turning out at the rate of 330.-

, 000,000, a day. It also gives the Hi.ooo state banks which are not J members of the federal reserve i system more time to join the , sys’tem or obtain ample funds from member banks and other agencies. "I know that many people are worrying about state banks not members of the federal reserve system," President Roosevelt said. "These banks can and will receive assistance from member banks and from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. "These state banks are follow ing the same course as the national banks, except that they get their licenses to resume business from tile state authorities, and these authorities have been asked by the secretary of the treasury to permit their good banks to open up on the same schedule as tlie national banks. I am confident that the state tanking departments will be as careful as the national government in the policy relating to the opening of banks and will follow the same broad policy." K> SEVEN BILLS NOT SIGNED CONTINUED FROM PAG® ONE law. If upheld by the courts in a t test case, the act would prevent any j special session legislature called | before the next regular session in 11935 from changing effects of the | reorganization law. i McNutt also signed the bill subI jecting prison-made goods from oth|er states to the same restrictions -placid on Indiana prison-made I goods. Among the six pocket vetoed Saturday was one which limited the sale of prison made goods strictly to the state and the government units within it.
