Advertising Rates made known on Application. National Adver. Representative If the rains will hold off a few; days the farmers of Adams county will get caught up on their work. ’ They certainly made a lot of headway the first day or two this week. The cold snap is the breezes from Chicago where they had a big snow storm yesterday. It’s getting along towards the time of the year when we ought not have many more of these flurries. The Willshire road will be put in excellent condition immediately so that traffic can be handled during the World Fair and then next year we are to have a first class highway that we will all be proud of. That's fine and we are sure every one appreciates it. Many Republicans in congress and the senate are joining the Democrats in support of President Roosevelt's inflation measures, believing it best for the people. That's genuine American loyalty and the only kind of statesmanship that will take this country out of the depths. Mr. Springer talked about how we can be loyal, strong and patriotic and gave excellent advice to all who really wish to serve. When we help each other we help ourselves and we have all learned that when the farmers, the laborers or any other class suffers, ultimately, we must suffer. A pull together is the best for any community and the judge stressed that. The Clean-Up is going right along and in a few days all of the rubbish will have been hauled away. Then its up to each person to get the house or business place painted up, repapered, remodelled and put in first class condition. It all adds pep. Several have already started the work and more should follow. Put some men to work. This is one of the best communities in the world. Let’s show ’em what we can do. Don't overlook paying your taxes this week. Next Monday is the lasi day and many seem to be confused about the new law, having the opinion that there is no penalty for delinquency. Officials in the county treasurer’s office have the

information and will be glad to explain to you just what they must do if you fail to pay. The penalty, while less than before is still severe and you should certainly • avoid it if possible. J. Ogden Mills, former secretary of the treasury came back from a visit with Mr. Hoover and immediately started an organization to combat the popularity of President - Roosevelt. It may be their idea of I good politics but its certainly bad taste to take such actron at least until we have moved a little farther in the ways to prosperity. There w’ill be plenty of time for petty politics later. Just now we should be interested in getting out of a bad mess. Confronted with about the same problems that face Indiana, the State Legislature in Michigan is considering the enactment of a sales tax and gross income tax similar, to that adopted into law by ' j the Indiana legislature at the re-1 | cent session. If this is done, al-' most every state in the central i west will have taken the only step left open to balance budgets and I yet extend relief to investors in ■ property and agriculture lands. | What is being done in adjoining states on adoption of sales tax pro-' grams is of special interest in in- 1 diana. where such a tax was adopt-) ed not without strenuous opposi-1 tion. There was the question ! whether a sales tax was necessary, i Evidently it is or other states would ; not be taking the same action. And , in their study of what other states | are doing the people of Indiana are | finding themselves fortunate and ' are given reason to commend the i new Indiana state administration i which kept the rate at one per cent. I In Illinois the rate is three per, cent, and that is the same rate be-1 ing considered as the basis for the ’ sales tax in Michigan. — The former Indiana state official ■ whp views with alarm the great power invested in the Governor through the reorganization law defeats his own argument for a check to be placed on the executive when he reviews the record of the administration in which he served. That record shows hundreds of appointments made by the chief executive who had no power or • authority for removal of those same appointments in the event of their being incapable. With all the positions that are operated in a state government it is not only possible but quite probable that I some appointees will be found unsatisfactory for the work to which they have been delegated Under the present arrangement they can I lie removed or transferred, just as | the action that is possible in any) well regulated business concern. | The reorganization law in Indiana places the state's business on a business basis for the first time in its history. Other executives have realized the need for this. Governor McNutt 1: .s put it into operation. — o— — COURTHOUSE Real Estate Transfers D catur Home Builders, to Edgtr A.

TWO WOUNDED BY CRAZED MAN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) a high school alumni banquet when Hammelman ran amuck. Authorities were able to obtain a fairly accurate account of the | shooting frmo Mary Weddle. She said Hammelman knocked at the, back door of the Weddle home last night and fired point blank when her father answered. Four shots were fired at Mrs. Weddle as she sat in a chair sewing. The crazed youth reloaded his gun. fired wildly at Mary and went upstairs where he put a bullet through the heart of his sleeping daughter. Thon he killed himself. Despite her wounds, Mrs. Weddle staggered to the home of a neighbor where she obtained assistance. She and Mary were taken to the Seymour hospital. Authorities recalled today that young Hammelman . appeared at ■the Weddle home last summer, brandished a revolver, and kept members of the family prisoner for 18 hours. No shooting occurred. however. He was an at list, painter and decorator and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Allie Hammelman of Bethany, three miles south of here. Weddle was manager of the Hayden branch of the Vincennes Packing company. LEADERS AGREE STANDARD FOR MONEY NEEDED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) meets. 6.
