If you received from any source more than $H6.67 during May and June, you should report. This is the last day. , This is the final day for paying j ! your income tax. Don't pass it up j 1 and then say you didn’t understand for the penalty will have to be 1 added and that just makes it worse ’ all around. t Well, whether you agree with all « that Is being dene in Washington I or not you must admit they are do- i Ing things and that's much better s than just sitting idly by and taking it on the chin. The license bureau office here 1 will remain open until midnight t tonight, just to accommodate those 1 who have put off filing their income 1 tax report to the state. You can still get under the wire. The revenue from beer licenses in Indiana total more than eleven hundred thousand dollars. If that keeps up a while, surely most of the difficulties regarding cash will be at least temporarily taken care of. Taxes in Indiana are about thirty per cent less than a year ago, which is an excellent showing. In this city and county it is much larger than that but in many places they haven't yet awakened to the new deal. Showers and more showers just now would make the farmers of this section a lot of money. The corn and beet crop is still in the making and we are hoping both of them will be good. If they are, we are well out of the depression woods. ________ 1 This is the best time to buy you will have in years. Prices of every thing are rising but you can take advantage of the old prices by purchasing your needs from the old stocks now. Real estate is just starting up. Those who invest now will make plenty of money.

will ever do that, but If he does or doeanl, Brisbane will continue to find fault and declare ’hut he told uu so. Adams county is In about the best condition of any county in the state with a low tax rate and sufficient funds on hands to operate without great difficulty. In other words we are all ready to go. Now with better farm prices and with men returning to work dally, there is no reason why we shouldn't bo getting back to normalcy. Each individual can do so by providing labor for as many as possible and h»- buying what he needs. Andrew W. Mellon, touted as the greatest treasurer since the days of Hamilton, is now trying to settle his tax bills in New Jersey, where lie owns much property, at fifty cents on the dollar and threatens that it it isn't accepted he will let them sell the properties. Now there is a fine example of sportsmanship for a man of financial j size. If he gets away with it, surely every one else in those communities. can do likewise. Industrial codes are now being made up for many lines and within a short time we will know what the wage and work-week provisions are and that's something none of us ever knew under the old plan. The cotton textile code becomes effective next Monday and that s the get-a-way. Oil, coal, lumber, ship building, electrical manufacturing, cloaks and suits and general contracting will follow immediately. We will soon know how it is going to work and whether its an idea or an ideal. Road 527 from here to Willshire i should be paved with concrete. We j have been promised this for years and there should be no further delay. We believe the Chamber of Commerce, supported by every business man and citizen should get the word to the state highway commission. This is an excellent time when federal aid is possible. Efforts to have 124 through this county paved are now being made 'and that is also a splendid project that will help in many ways. These matters need some attention and those communities which work the hardest will be the ones to secure immediate action. , o ——— - « i TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File Phi Delts elect Harry Jefferies presid nt, Bob Peterson Master of Ceremonies and Herman Ehinger I secretary and treasurer.

Johnson’s edict, stressing the point that the law would not he used to unionize . all labor, helped industrial lead- ! ers approach this problem. Johnson’s order pointed out that while I collective bargaining was guaranteed in the law unorganized as ! well as organized labor would be fully protected and that the law was not a requirement for work- . srs to join any particular union. It was understood that the steel I code contained wage differentials and some reference to prices al- | though the price matter may be reserved for later conferences. o * Boy Is Killed Lafayette, Ind., July 15—(U.R)--i Forest Winiger. 12, was killed in stantly when the light truck in which he was riding overturned l here.
