Charter Member of The Indiana League of Hmm D.iilies. THE PLAIN WORD. Woodrow Wilson gave to the world the inspiring phrase, "open covenants openly arrived at." it's idealism was lofty, but little has come of it. Franklin D. Roosevelt has given the London conference and perhaps the world a new idea if not a m » deal. It is not phrased, but it can be described as blunt honesly. We said the other day and re pet that when President Roose i velt sent notice to the London con-1 iirence that it was wasting time ■ with currency and exchange, that he would have none of it now ami that the conference should address itself to possible effort, he did the whole world a good turn. The gold bloc delegates professi I the feeling that Mr. R<" evelt meant well, but also professed that tht r feelings were wounded by the candor of his views and the bhintness of his terms. They were rot angered, but were deeply sorrowed. Behind the doors they wire huffing and puffing with rage ’.nd threatening to blow his house lawn. It may he suspected that President Roosevelt made himself entirely clear to the conference. No .inalest doubt tan arise that he made himself entirely plain to the people of the Lulled States. It is not improbable that the people of Europe obtained some degree of < nlightened satisfaction. Tlie American President tslks to the conference with no change Irom the tone, spirit and purpose with which he addresses the Amercan people. He wants to lie undertc d. Americans find him very comfortable. Perhaps they will soon learn on the other side to find him so. — Fort Wayne Journal-Ga-zette. The state is asking that every person who ha. had an income of more than $166 67 the past two months pay their gross income tax. Persons who hold out and wait until the end of the year to pay will only help to raise property taxes. The reason the state is asking everybody to pay for this first two mouths, even if the tax i.i only only fie cents, is so that some estimate can be matte of how much the tax will produce in a y ar. Whatever it produces will ’. e deducted from property taxes

I when township >ud city officials ; make up their tax levies next month ; for next year. The legislature esti- i mated the tax could raise $12,000,', 000 a year. Other estimates by , bankers and financiers ranged from $3.00t*,000 to $35,000,000 a year. Nobody knows. It is the patriotic i duty of every citizen to pay the ; ' first two DP-uths income tax at this j I time. If lie fails lie is hurting him 1 ' self and every other pro|>erty own- i er. Factories and other employ- i > \ ers of labor will do well to impress i this on their employes as it means a substantial reduction in property < , taxis if tlie income tax produces : as much as estimated. It is on f ■ this first two months collection of income tax that‘property tax levies will be based for next year. The new bank department will urge that liquidation of closed i banks be made us rapidly as possible. considering of course the conI dition of those who owe the varI ious institutions and the effort being made by each individual. Those who have money on deposit need it and want it, which is there right. . nd every one who can should do , I i his best to meet the requirements. >' Os course where that does not liappea. suits will have to be filed I and the matters adjusted through > the courts so that final settlement ; may be made. The lieettses of 1.628 automobile . ; drivers have been revoked in Indiana the past year, according to r Ithc statement of Frank Finney.' , head of the department. Os that I I number 950 were because of drunk- ' en driving and most of the rest be- , cause of recklessness. The public « believes in thia department for certainly too much attention cannot be given in this most important I matter. Guarantee of safety on | the highways is necessary. !

while it may not be as rapid as you would like to see it. we must ’ remember that too great speed would be dangerous. Let's keep the old ball rolling dong. All candidates for the postmistership in cities o7 the first, second and third classes must take an examination. the President having 'recently signed an order to that effect. That may reduce the num-i ber of candidates considerably and aid in selecting capable officials. o —— » ♦ - YEARS AGO TODAY I From the Daily Democrat File Tw nty y ars ago today was Sunday.
