Rev. Father Charles E. Coughlin may be radical and may be wrong in some of his statements but there is one thing sure and that is, he is no coward. His house was bombed last week but he came back Sun-1 day with an attack that fairly "took the hide olT” those who are opposing him. Tile senate investigation of J. P. Morgan & Company should be conducted now for the good of that great banking firm and tile countryin general, if they can show they have been dean, it will help to re-establish confidence tn this land. We should think they would desire it. Easter is near and you will want some new clothing. Take a look at the various sto: ; in Decatur. Read their advertisements this week and next. You will find a wonderful line of dresses, coats, men’s wear, shoes, hats, everything you need ami the prices?— Well, you just won't believe it until you see for yourself. Michigan voted yesterday on the election of delegates for action on the repeal of the eighteenth amendment and Wisconsin is at it today. These early voting states attract a lot of attention but those which come in along towards the thirtysix mark will be more outstanding probably, that being the number required to change the constitution. When we have a tough job to do, lie best thing to do is to go at it ami evidently that is the way the president figures it. He has already ordered retrenchment in salaries of public officials from the highest to the lowest and ordered savings where < ver possible. That’s never popular with those reduced but we seem to have reached the pace where we must do things even if its unpopular and it takes , courage to meet such responsibilities. The farm and small home debt re ief measure in congress this week is one of the undertakings of the many being put through under tile guidance of President Roosevelt. It will require a billion dol lar bund issue and will if carried >t provide means for thousands .of people to save their homos It

is proposed to extend long time loans at small interest charges, enabling those who must do so to effect new loans and take up the old ones. This will not only help ; them but will relieve banks and insurance companies and permit a distinct revival of business. Money is intangible property, but it will no longer be subject too property taxes under the new revenue i laws of Indiana. Persons with money tucked away under the mattress were required under the old ■ law to declare it to the tax assessor and pay property taaxes on it. Few did. Under the new intangibles lays the owner of money will pay iro taxes on it. If it is not in a bank no one will worry about it. If it is on deposit in a bank or other similar financial institution the bank will (in most cases, if not all> absorb the intangibles tax. Owners of building and loan association stock wiil not pay the new intangibles tax on this class of security. The building and loan associations arc to pay the tax. Os course banks, trust companies and building and loan associations may reduce the inteiest on deposits or on their stock to compensate them for the intangibles tax paid, but the owner of the money on deposit or tlie building and loan stock need not concern himself about the new tax. —itidianapolis Star. It is commonly felt that "superfluous government services’’ must be abolished. But who shall decide what services arc superfluous? The employes of these services can usually show that their work produces good results. Some of them seem to think the country would go to the dogs, if their tasks were not performed. These are progressive times, when people should be able to do things for themselves that formerly had to be performed I i for them. There is such a thing | as doing so much for people that they lose initiative. The governa kind of universal parent. who must watch over his 125,000,000 helpless children every hour of the day. These children of his must be considered to have some gumption and ability to take care of themselves. The fathers of the country did not want the government to do too many things. The government that governs least is the best, was the view of one of our greatest statesmen. The original idea was that the main purpose of the government was to assure the safety of the people, but that in most respects it could trust tl>e ability of the average American to look out for himself. We have gone a long way from tho independent old idea. The world has been turned upside down and vast new powers have arisen with which the average citizen can't grapple without some help. But that help can be carried too far. The government is not a kind of nurse, who his to jump to the rescue of the citizen every time he hollers. So, in a time when economy is ; needed, the people will have to get ■ along without some forms of ser- ■ vice that have been useful, but just . now cost more than they are worth. Perhaps at some future date wo I can restore them. Perhaps also. , if the government doesn’t do quite so much for the people, they will • learn to do more for themselves. ) —New Albany Tribune. * Household Scrapbook I —By—- | ROBERTA LEE j Grain Effect In Wood Beauty of finish Ijnd the greatest possible grain effect in wood can be obtained with a treatment of. linseed oil applied directly to the bare wood.

- - - Administration Job No Lure To This Friend of President * * * * * * “Doc” O’Connor, Law Partner and Close Friend of Roosevelt, Prefers to Blush Unseen Behind Scenes on Capitol Hill. J T/IM 1 & ' S ’ 3. _ • I 1/ ,»£. j I f A 1 "jftr : ■■ m ■ t» r | w <• r? 7** ■•. Pres Roosfueit n.™ Mr aw Mas Basii, O’Connor Daughter Betty “What it rarer than a day in June?” asks the poet. And the Muwer is: A man who can boast intimate friendship with the Chief Executive of the nation, who is qualified to hold any position in the highest councils of the nation, but prefers to remain out of the spotlight, aiding his friend sans cheers or glory. Such a man is Basil O'Connor, partner in the i«w firm of Roosevelt and O'Connor of New York. For many years O’Connor (“Doc” to his intimates) has been associated with the man who now guides the destinies of the United States, not only in business, but closer, as a friend, than any other man outside the President's family—with the possible exception of “Big Jim” Farley, Postmaster General. A master of political strategy, one of the country's smartest lawyers and an outstanding leader of men, O’Connor probably eould have any appointment he desired in the new administration, but he prefers to work outside the national spotlight, dominating the President's so-called “Brain Trust” of advisors. O'Connor is a self-made man. At 16 he was graduated from Taunton High School (Mass.) and entered Dartmouth to work his way to an A. B. degree, following which he pursued a similar course through Harvard Law School, whence he was graduated with honors. Since then he has carved out an enviable career in law. He married Miss Elvira Miller of Louisville, Ky., in 1918. They have two daughters and maintain homes in New York and Long Island.
