Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Some one started a report that the famous Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, was dead and it caused considerable agitation until it reached the ears of old Jim himself who immediately branded it as “a durned lie.” President Roosevelt is for business and is proving it every day. He is not in favor of the government getting into competition with other business but he is for a | partnership that will help the i heavily burdened business man I carry the load. Tax officers have taken over' sixty-nine Chicago hotels and will ! operate them until a three million tax bill is paid, which is another I way of collecting. Those who think ’ they have a chance to avoid taxes will find they must pay eventually, one way or another. Adams county will send ten I young men to the forestry camps i and more will probably follow. It; will be a wonderful training and a i , tine experience and while it may ' be some what lonesome for a while I these young men will make ac-1 quaintances and contacts th a t should benefit them during the rest I of their lives. A farm sold at auction here this I week for seventv dollars an acre, | which is above the average the past■ year and again proves that farms' in Adams county are worth more’ than most anj' where else. Prices will go up from now on and those I who desire a good 'piece of dirt at a price far below actual value, will do well to buy now. Wyoming is the fourth state to vote on the repeal question and the fourth to vote for it. During the next few weeks elections will be held in many states and interest: is growing slightly as it proceeds, j Neither side seems to be making a great tight in Indiana, apparently going on the theory that tho people know all about it and have their minds pretty well made up. The rains have reached the danger point, not only by a great loss from floods but from the fact that •.millions of farmers have a lot of ..work to be done :f they are to raise crops this year. Through this sec'tion we are at least a month behind and if the weather ever gets 1 fit, the farmer cant catch up on! any six-hour day regulation, and you can bet your last thin dime on that.

President Roosevelt realizes that to have a happy America we must likewise have a better satisfied 1 world and he is making a brave . and wonderful effort to effect that. . He is not posing as a miracle man but he is showing a lot of good old fashioned, common sense, that the . rulers of the various countries • | might well consider carefully if ! they are in earnest in their anI nounced desires to save their civili i taation. ] We are still young enough to i like the circus and we are glad the business men are bringing in a real three-ring outfit to entertain the i people at the low cost of ten cents. ; It will furnish a lot of pleasure for the boys and girls and don't try to make us think you don't like it, no difference what your age is. We never get so old but that we get a thrill out of the canvas tents, the wild animals and the performers. It ought to attract a large crowd and the crowd can do some shopping to their advantage on the same day. Watch for the announcements. Estimates purporting to come from the treasury and the director of the budget put ordinary expenditures of the government for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1933. at about $2,320,500,000 and receipts lat $2,200,000,000. Thus for the first I time in four years we have the prospect of a balanced budget, so vital to national credit. While in 'the past there has been almost end- ’ less talk about budget deficits, the public did nut iealize that this gov ernment could become bankrupt | until -in a few forceful words the 'President, on March 10, said: “For I ’ hree long years the Federal government has been on the road toward bankruptcy. For the fiscal year 1931 the deficit was $462,000,,000; for the fiscal year 1932 it was I $2,472,000,000; for the fiscal year i 1933 it will probably exceed $1,200,i 000,000: for the fiscal year 1934, ! haseA err the appropriation bills i passed by the last Congress and I the estimated revenues the deficit i will probably exceed $1,000,006,000 j unless immediate action is taken." i Action has been and is being taken Ito reduce expenditures to bring ■ them in balance with receipts. i This example of the Federal gov- ' ernment should be reflected in the , future action of state and municipal government and end a great' deal of waste and extravagance in ‘the use of public funds. Some relief to the taxpayers should follow this. As taxes have been increasing in almost an inverse ratio to the decrease in national income, this one thing should give a ray of hope to business. — Wall Street Journal.

Complaints Cited The report states the Wabash j r railroad’ company, filed a com-1 ; plaint in November 1927 with the 'State Board of Health to the] ; effect “that St. Marys river was I so grossly polluted that the water ] | could not he used in locomotive boilers." This complaint was fol-' lowed by one from the Board of. ' Public Works of the city of Fort ] Wayne "to the effect that the ] river was in a condition of gross ; I pollution, that the stench arising I from it interfered seriously with ] | the peace and comfort of those j j citizens of Fort Wayne living ia . , the immediate vicinity of the , I stream, that enormous numbers of', ! dead and dying fish were found i floating in the waters of the i stream, and hat. since the situa- i tion was intolerable immediate J investigation was necessary." ] The report contains a descrip- 1 tion of the river, its flow, origin. 1 drainage area and the location of sampling stations, from which , points the samples of water were, taken. o Orchids On Display The Decatur Floral Compa,ny will ■ i have a sets orchids pn display Friday until 2 p. m. at their green-1 house.

I FLOOD W ATERS NEARING CREST j (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I alter he had sunk to his armpits. I j A tour-year-old child in Indianap-1 , ulis was rescued from a flooded ( ! basement. Indication that the Ohio river' I would not reach the>stage origin-! i ally predicted was given by’ the! !U. S. weather bureau here. Offi-] cials said the crest would be 42.4 , l feet instead of 44.5. Ixivees throughout Vanderburgh ; | county have been weakened by; I four previous floods this year and I iit was feared that many would i not be able to stand the battering I water. The Wabash, Patoka and White rivers all are above flood stage] in the southwestern part of the I state. The Wabash was expected I to reach its crest at Vincennes late tonight or tomorrow. Weather bureau officials predicted the other streams soon would recede. ' REPEAL FACES FIRST TEST IN INDIANA VOTE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) school expenses, resulting in lower property taxes. Distribution of the money was I astutely planned by tho Democratic administration to counteract I dry opposition. The Democratic ! state platform pledged itself to reI peal the ISth amendment and the I state enforcement act. The wets wit. have a still great'er advantage, however, in apporitiohmenl of the 329 delegates. They’ art assured of 120, distrib-1 luted among the industrial centers./ i Marion county , home of Indianap- : olis, the state's largest city, will : elect 42 delegates. History Indi- j I cates that these will all favor re-i j peal. The wets also will draw support ] from counties embracing Hammond I Gary, Evansville, Terre Haute, • I South Bend. Fort Wayne and 1 Michigan City. |< With 120 votes to rely on, the re-. I pealists need only 45 more. These < ] will be obtained, they believe, ] 1 i from a few scattering rural coun-11 ties and the smaller cities. In view of the importance of In- 1 ; diana’s action, it is paradoxical | that the repeal campaign has been , 1 |so quiet and so lacking in publicity. 1 Burden of the wet campaign has ■ ■ I fallen upon the shoulders of the i I Association Against the Prohibition ] Amendment, headed by William ( i Stokes, Indianapolis, and women s ' anti-prohibition organizations spon-

Outstanding figlures in this faction are William j Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana ; university, and L. E. York, presiIdent of the state anti-saloon lea- ! gue. A strenuous effort has been made ito keep politics from the campaign. I Results are shoti n by the fact that ‘ most of the candidates for deleI gates are business and profession]al leaders who represent both Democratic and Republican parties.

Welcomes Message Warmly welcoming President Roosevelt's message Jo the World, Hitler agreed that disarmament is indlspensible to a solution of the world's economic problems. He praised the President's "high-mind-ed” offer to participate in guaranteeing European peace. Hitler emphasized that Germany ■ had fulfilled the “unreasonable demand” of the Versailles treaty with I . I "suicidal loyalty.” I Germany, he insisted, has dis-! armed in accordance with the! I treaty, and now if other nations refuse to carry out their part of the I treaty and disarm too, then Ger-1 many is entitled to demand re-arm-ament. Hitler spoke with the persuasive ! oratory for which he is famous, and carried his audience with him. ! He read from manuscript. His tone and gestures were mild compared i to previous speeches, when his | voice was aggressive and his ges-1 tures sweeping and vigorous.
