McNutt on ‘’lndiana Cuts Its Budget." The article reviews the important changes made in the state's system of government and explains to some extent the re-vamping of boards and commissions, the consolidating of 169 bureaus and departments into about 3b. resulting in as the Governor says, a saving of three million dollars in the state s payroll. Several pages are given to the article, an extract, written by the publishers reading: , j <l| J “Last January. Indiana had 169 boards, bureaus and departments. Spurred by the depression, the’ legislature gave Governor McNutt what critics call dictatorial powers. “One result is that to date, more than a thousand employees have been dropped from the state payroll. Salaries have been reduced | or equalized. The state highway department's overhead, alone, was reduced 351,000 a month. And by combining the Division of Health with the State University School of Medicine', additional health services were added at a budget saving of SBO,OOO. In another department. one man now does the work for which nine men had been paid to do. in still another, eleven replace thirty-eight. "The whole plan," says the governor, “is designed to meet .the emergencies of the present day. But in the background is the more far-reaching ideal of injecting efficiency in the operation of the state's business.” We presume there is a vaue in the Speedway races for certainly a car that can stand the test of that 500 miles over tough brick at a pace exceeding 100 miles per hour, can stand most any thing, but it seems terrible that each year so many fine young men must give their lives to settle these questions. This year two were killed in the elimination tests and three in the race, besides serious injury to several others. Its a thrill of course to see the cars almost fly, the speed at times exceeding 150 miles per liour on the straight aways, but the extreme danger every minute takes much of the pleasure out of the game for many who enjoy sports. The Decatur Country Club will be formally opened by the Legion boys next Monday, June sth with an afternoon of golf and an evening of entertainment.

three weeks and those who have used it. declare it in the best condition they have ever seen it. The club should provide happy days for . hundreds during the summer aud autumn. Delegates to the London economic conference have sailed and . will bargain with world powers for international agreement to foster trade revival. These men have been carefully chosen and are headied by Cordell Hull, secretary of state and include a number of leading men from this country. We have a hunch they will accomplish worth while things that will live long in history. The sooner we put a little pep in business, the sooner we will be on the highway of prosperity. The sensible way to do that is to advertise through your local newspaper. The rates are low and you cover the trading radius for Decatur almost 100%. That it pays is known beyond dispute by those who have given it an honest trial. _ Mayor Hinkle, of South Bend. | must think he is boss. When a half dozen of the city officials disagreed with him regarding certain economy methods, he called them in and told them they no longer had jobs. He will probably employ men who rfgree with him but why have the subordinates if the mayor can run it alone? Next Tuesday is rather import-j ant for Indiana for its election I day, when we will decide whether I we wish the Eighteenth Amend-' meat to continue or wish it wiped I off the books.

"In spite of the fact that the depression started about that time, the plant has justified its existence, and together, the heating plant and the lighting plant have paid off all indebtedness, all operation and maintenance charges, and in addition have paid several thousand dollars into the general revenues, of the town. ‘‘There has no* been a single interruption in the service. The mayor states that the cost of this service is slightly higher than tigoperation of individual heating plants, but when taking into account the advantages to be gained in the matter of stoking fires, shoveling ashes, dust, and variations in temperature, the small NEW STOMACH TREATMENT GETS QUICK RESULTS It takes only about 3 minutes for Bisma-Rex, the new. delicioustasting antacid powder, to bring you relief from stomach agonies.

, extra cost is hardly worth considering. "All charges are based on monthly meter readings, and the consumer pays for just vhat he gets." Mayor Fallow states as follows: "To any municipality which has its own steam driven power station and has a compact business section, not too far removed from its power plant. 1 say it is time to investigate the possibilities of district heating. The construction of such plantts offers immediate employment to your unemployed, and the operation brings benefits aud profits to your community." “The installation at Vermillion has been a decided success, and this is only a town of less than 2,000 papulation. When it is considered that Decatur is even more favorably situated and has a power plant already to go, the matter of central station heating for Decatur is really oue that should be taken advantage of, especially as the city will not have to spend the money I for such an installation, and it will give work to the unemployed and give the city a service which it ~ now does not have."
