DESTRUCTIVE CRITICS: At the conclusion of a recent radio address, in which he had discussed the business of the state government, Governor Paul V. McNutt stated he would welcome constructive suggestions and criti- , cisms to guide him in his capacity j as the general manager of the. state’s business. That was a noble 1 gesture that even adverse critics' could not help but admire. But, the question arises whether critics can be constructive in their

criticisms. The term “critic” L seems to involve tearing down and 1 berating. At least that appears to j be the situation when criticism is . applied to polities and those active ( in politics. Probably, it is the one < reasons, why capable men have declined to enter the field of politics ' that would elevate them to public ' office. They do not wish to run ' the gauntlet of unfair criticism at every turn, regardless of how con- ’ scientious they may be. As an example of what public officials must contend with from the unjust criticisms of those who are pledged to criticise adversely whatever is done, let us look into ' the following taken from an alleg-' I j ed independent newspaper: “Again, we are forced to ask if, as the Gov-i' ernor says, the plans he has in, mind will save the state millions! of dollars, whv is it necessarv to i impose fresh millions of new taxes I on the public?" This is the same newspaper . which praised the principle of the $1.50 tax levy, knowing full well that none of the units or govern-

ment could exist on that levy akme. The implication is that the people of Indiana will he compelled to pay the same amount in property taxes and in addition will pay fresh millions of new taxes. It is a deliberate attempt to influence the minds of Indiana people to make them lose confidence in the only state administration in years Uiat has attempted to apply business principles to tlie operation of the state's ' business. Fortunately, the people are in a more independent frame of mind now than, ever before. They know that the state will do well to balance its Judgnt, requiring strictest economy, ’ which they are getting. Revenue from new taxes was not sought for purpose of extravagant spending “but for the payment of

NOTICE! To Depositors of The Peoples Loan & Trust Co. - 2nd Distribution - Beginning on Tuesday, June 13, and continuing each day until all are paid, I will make a 2% distribution of funds collected under the stockholders liability, at my office, Erwin Building, Decatur, Indiana. Ta conserve the fund and save expense of mailing checks, depositors are requested to call and receipt for same.

I honest obligations, and the destructive critics cannot deny that. ■ The purchase of modern equipment for the city plant will make possible a reduction of rates for users of electric current by January Ist and the city council will see that this step is taken. That’s more good news to the people of this community. During the past year or two, the city and county as well as the state, have made numerous reductions in taxes and one of these days it is going to be very comfortable to meet these bills. The administration deserves credit and much of it for thus meeting conditions. Ira Fuhrman, well known insurance man, was chosen from a field of five applicants to be a member of the board of school trustees in Decatur. Mr. Fuhrman is qualified and will give to this office his bus- • iness experience and conservative effort. Mr. Hower who retires after serving two terms, has made an excellent record and deserves the appreciation of the public. Business men report another good day Saturday and there is not it he least doubt but that the up- , i ward trend will continue. The pub- 1 I 1 lie is buying from those merchants ' who advertise. That always has ; been true, is now and will be for ! I a long time to come. Better get ' started on a campaign of publicity. j We will be happy to render you any

assistance we can provide. j The domestic relation of Elliot j Roosevelt, second son of the President, and his voung wife are in for i an airing. Os course these affairs happen even In the families of a President and when they do, it i makes much better reading than when ordinary folks have misunderI standings. — The Morgan investigation is over I for the present at least and so far as we can see, didn't amount t 6 much, except to embarrass those ' who were under fire. However the public knows how they did business jand may use their own judgment as to future dealings. The special 1933 session of congress will long be remembered as the one which did the things on the program and quit at the time announced several weeks ahead. We doubt if there has ever been a session which did as many things for the good o f the people.

Cut the weeds. Don’t wait until i Amos Fisher and his crew do it and ; charge it up against you. Now is j the time to head off the seeds and I that will make it easier next year. I Uncle Sam has billed thirteen 1 nations for the money due on war ; debts. It may not do any good but the countries will at least know ! that we still fee! they owe the bills. * Good old June with old Sol burn-1 ing us up, beautiful flowers, long days and short nights.

,; proached as close as I dared to the flaming wreckage I saw a man’s hand extended from one of the winj dows. The fingers opened and shut rapidly at first but gradually stopped moving and then searing flames reached the hand.’’ The plane, the Northern Light”, was making its second passenger I flight of the day. IA sudden squall had blown up a few minutes before, making I>aike Michigan choppy and rough. Vickery completed the customary 20 minutes flight and came down into the harbor. A pontoon touched the surface for a moment and then I Vickery shot the ship back into the air. A moment later he attempted a second lahding. This time a pontoon dipped deep into the water, and the ship lurched. After,dants at the port said they heard a dipping sound. At first they believed a pontoon was damaged but later decided the right wing had cracked. Vickery apparently heard the crack and, fearing a pontoon was : Injured sent the plane back into the air. He started for the airport at Glenview where he probably thought he could land a safer landing. As the plane neared Glenview, it was flying at approximately 150 feet. There was a sharp crack and the right wing snapped off. The plane wobbled over housetops, then dived head into a field. The two wasp engines sank deep into the ground and the wreckage caught fire. o COOL BREEZES FOLLOW RAIN FROM PAGE ONE) Indianapolis. Marion, Fort Wayne, Terre Haute and Evansville.

sider any method to reduce tariff barriers. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, head of the American delegation to the world economic conference, said today in his final pre-conference meeting with the press. Hull said there were four methods to attack tariff barriers; first, a general revision; second, agreement for a small, horizontal reduction as a preliminary step! to general revision; third, region-1 al reductions; fourth, bilateral bargaining. “I favor any or all of these methods,” Hull said. "The United States delegation | is ready to go forward with its I share of the conference work with such reasonable hopes asl would ordinarily characterize a 1 movement of this magnitude.” Hull declared. London, June 12 —(U.R) — War' debts must be settled before the j world can find the road to recovery, Prime Minister J. Ramsay MacDonald tol-d representatives of i 66 nations today at the opening of the world economic conference. The great gathering of world statesmen, assembled to discuss ways of solving the grave economic crisis by mutual agreement. heard an earnest plea by King George V for friendly collaboration. Then they were addressed by MacDonald, and were stirred by his bitter attack on war debts as of prime importance, even (hough they can not be settled at the conference. MacDonald insisted the debts must be dealt with urgently as a continuation of the peace policies i of Lausanne, when reparations | were discontinued, “settling them > once'and for all in the light of | present world conditions.”
