Saturday night was the busiest Decatur has been in several years because the merchants invited the people to come in and trade. It pays to advertise and the business man who don't think so is foolish to pay rent. Although the total amount of taxes collected in Adams county this year is only about half what it I was a year or two ago, it should I be remembered that the same num-! ber of persons bad to be waited on ■ and most of them had more questions to ask than usual, due to the changes in the laws. While Indiana suffered from storms the past week they seem to • have been mild compared to those; in the southwest where many were' killed and hundreds injured and millions of dollars worth of property was destroved. We are for-1 tunate after all in this territory as ! compared to other parts of the, country. — The farmers aare working between showers this spring but they are working and if given any chance at all will succeed in getting out a good acreage of corn.' beets, beans, oats and other products. We hope they do for we have a strong hunch that the prices next harvest will be such as to bring a profit to those who have a ' crop. Rhode Island voted for repeal of the eighteenth amendment about seven to one. though it was being predicted that because of a lack of interest and organization, it would probably go dry. This was not however believed by many for it must be remembered that it was the one eastern state which never ratified the amendment. Even If Miss Perkins Is dissatisfied with the decision of the President not to consider the thirtyhour measure and others pertaining to the regulation of industry we are glad of it and hope that by the time the regular session convenes. these things will have taken care of themselves. Too much law is usually worse than too little. The boys who are starting a bonus expedition to Washington are perhaps acting within their rights, even if very foolish. Such tactics will not bring them the rellief they desire. The desire of the public as well as the administration is to do every thing that

I can be done for the veterans but there are some who go to unreasonable lengths in their demands. Edgar Bush is opposed to the Inj diana intangible tax law which will convince many that it's alright. Ed has away of getting on the wrong side of about every public question. J He is one of those fellows, with a lot of ability, who just likes to I hake the opposite side, but we prob- ;; ably need them to keep things go- - 1; ing along smoothlv. '; 11 , It is claimed that in several places many voters are signing both the wet and dry petitions, indicating perhaps that they favor an election and desire to vote as they please. Some decline to sign either while of course each side is securing the number required by law. It's a question, long discussed, that each individual has the right to vote on as he doggone pleases.

A few members of congress seem to be hoping and praying for the day they can defeat President Roosevelt on a single measure that he approves and when that time comes, if ever, it will be a sad day for the American people. He is doing every thing possible to create better times and we doubt if any congressman or senator will make votes by fighting him. Good for Leland Franks, veteran I Decatur mail carrier who was electled president of the Northeastern Indiana Letter Carrier's Association. We are proud of Adams county men who succeed and to be chosen as the leader of this splendid organization is something ■ any man may well feel proud of. ; Leland is capable and has energy ’ and will conduct himself to the I credit of the association as well as I himself. The National Chamber of Com- ■ merce, which certainly will not be I classed as a Democratic institui tion, is in session in Washington and delegates bring the glad tid- • I ings of better business conditions : from every corner of these United States. Thats the main thing and Jif Mr. Roosevelt can keep up the progress so far made we believe i he ought to receive due credit and he will, regardless of what any one '; wishes or expects.

The skip election law which post- j poned the city elections in Indiana) until last year has been held good ; by Judge Cox of Indianapolis. It ’ was a measure advanced to save money and there could be no good reason why a legislature couldn't enact such a law if they so desired. Opponents deck red it was because thev were afraid of results hut there isn't much to that according to special elections held over the country, evidencing that the voters are still willing to give the Democrats a good try out in hopes they can relieve the difficulties of the past several years.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1933.

“THE NEW DEAL’’ Events have moved swiftly in Washington since March 4. 1933. In a series of special messages to the new congress, President Roosevelt has demanded, and has received, or is about to receive, the most extraordinary series of powers and duties ever conferred upon a Chief Executive. Emergency banking powers: Governmental economy by cuts in veterans' compensation and reduction ot government employees salaries; Legalization and taxation of beer; The civil construction corps; Farm mortgage relief; Small homes morlgafe relief; Muscle Shoals and the Tennessee Valley—with more to come. These messages will rank among the most important state papers in the history of the United States. Our Washington Bureau has compiled the text of each one ot them, in a printed bulletin THE NEW DEAL. When you want to know what President Roosevelt has actuallw recommended on each of these far-reaching measures, here is the actual text.

"With a falling off of the loads during the depression the cost of generating current increased per K.W.H. This iv a condition found in all plaints where the large units must operate on light loads, the unit price to generate power rise. This partly is due to the fact that the auxiliaries of the plant, such

aas blowers, boiler feed pumps and other accessories to run just the same whether the output is small or large and it can be seen that when loads generated are small, costs are large in proportion. "In order to cut down the auxiliary loads smaller units such as the boiler feed pumps should be installed to assist in this saving. Loads at present are only 400 to 600, whereas in 1929 they were around 1,200 to 1,400 K.W. The diop In load causes an increase per unit of operating expenses. The present year load is estimated at about 4,000,000.000 K.W.H.. while in 1929 the output was about 7,000,000 K.W.H. “The report also goes into further improvements that will give maximum savings, such as the use of economizers and air preheaters

|to cut down coal costs and also ‘gives consideration to the use ot pulverized fuel, which would give maximum efficiences to the boiler plant. These items are recommended as later improvements tobe considered when the times and load conditions are more favorable. "The immediate additions and improvements will result in a better condition of turbine operation. The water treatment will be imI proved and prevent further corroslion or abrasion of turbine blades. I This item of maintenance alone will result in a considerable saving. There will be several thousand dollars a year saved in fuel by making these changes, in fact the savings in fuel and maintenance will pay the expense of installation in four to five years. "Other items considered in the report is the recommendation for a combined residence lighting and stove rate for cooking purposes. "The report also considers the possibility ot a central heating plant, as this can be accomplished without installing any new boilers, there being ample capacity to serve the business and residence I districts and public buildings and ; schools. The plant is ideally situated for such a purpose and needs, .'only the distribution system. Steam I could be sold at a low' cost and the I investment could be paid in about I five years." Mr. Brossman stated. I The council is desirous ot maki ing several of the improvements at once. It is a necessity that the I filter system amj settling basin for the river water used in the boilers be made at once, members stated. Mr. Brossman and his organization have planned and supervised I the installing of machinery in several electric and water plants. iThey recently completed a new water filtration plant at Peru and are now engaged in installed a 5,'[ooo K. W. turbine and condenser in that city. Among other electric plants designed by them are the ones at Columbia City. Auburn. Anderson, Jasper and other places. Mr. Brossman has been a consulting engineer for 30 years. o Herman Myers and Dr. Glen Neptune are home from a trip to Indianapolis. ! ! — -oDance Tonight Sun Set.
