Advertising Rates made known on Application. National Adver. Representative The temperature is not just what we dream about when we think of spring but its better to have it now than in a mouth or two. Detroit's new bank, backed by the United States government aud General Motors, opened today. It wi 1 be a strong institution in every way. but the fellow who wants to make a loan there will probably discover that we are in a new banking era. They say that a dollar a day tnd living is too little wage for he proposed workers in national forests and yet that was the pay for the soldier boys as we remember it. X dollar a day over one’s living just now is equal to several times that a few years ago. The city fire department did a good job in preventing the fire in the Knights of Columbus block from becoming a great blaze. They worked rapidly and soon had the fire under control, though it had i very good start before they arriv'd on the scene. Sinclair Lewis, the novelist, who usually dislikes everybody and everything, has become an enthusiastic admirer of President Roosevelt and says: “Its been our history that we have elected strong men who turn weak. Now we have found the weak man we elected last November has turned strong.’’ Richard A. McKinley of Jeffersonville has been appointed banking commissioner to succeed Luther F. Symons, who has held the job the past seven years and who has made a very good record during the most trying times ever known in this state. Mr. McKinley is considered one of the best bankers in the state and is expected to hiive much to do with the new banking department to be organized July Ist. The cement men seem to have a closed price. A short time ago the Indiana state highway commission received bids from twentytwo firms for cement for use this year and all were the same. They rejected them and yesterday received identical bids from seventeen concerns and one slightly I'-wer for certain counties, including Adams. Just what will be dono about it is now being considered by the. commission but if the prim of $1.20 per barrel is insisted upon

it will necessitate curtailing of the work planned. The price last year was seventy cents a barrel. Looks funny. In a number of counties organizations are being formed to fight the wet and dry question over by trying to elect dry delegates to the convention which in this state will be held in June. It is probable that most people have their minds I fairly well made up now and to stage a great battle will change but few votes. Good citizens will support temperance but just how to do that under present conditions will bother many. Albert F. Walsman, of Indianapolis. has been appointed a member of the state board of tax commissioners by Governor McNutt, showing his good intentions for no man in the state is better posted. Mr. Walsman has for years served as the research director for the Indiana Taxpayer’s Association and had much to do with the enactment of the $1.50 law in Indiana. He will be fair to every one but he will insist on a low tax on property which is what we believe the most of the citizens of this state desire. The fire in the Knights of Columbus block yesterday looked serlious for an hour but was finally controlled just in time to save a large loss. Many were reminded of the fire which destroyed the block in June, 1903. That fire occurred on Sunday morning and we remember it well because on that day the Daily Democrat published its first extra edition, giving the details. The fire caused a damage estimated qt a hundred thousand dollars and the building was rebuilt within a few months by the owners, Studa baker and Allison. Property taxes may be paid this year with checks drawn against restricted deposit balances in Indiana banks and trust companies. Those taking advantage of this new' law. however, must make an affidavit that they have no other source of revenue to pay the taxes. When restricted deposit checks are presented to the county treasurer they must be accompanied by a statement from an officer of the bank certifying that there is a balance sufficient to make the payment. The banker can not make tins certification until presented by the taxpayer with a statement from the county treasurer showing the amount of taxes due. Any tax installment settled for in this manner shall be deemed paid and no penalty, interest or other charges shall be made. The treasurer shall make a notation that a check hqs been filed with him, but he will not give a receipt until the restricted funds are released and the check I is paid. The law is silent on the length of time the treasurer shall hold such a check. — Indianapolis Star.
