MAKING UP BUDGETS: Officials in every taxing' unit of the state are waiting with interest 1 a report on the first returns from ' the payment of the new state gross ; income tax. They are now engag- 1 ed in making up the budgets of ex ! penditures they can reasonably anticipate for the coming year. [ Those budgets and the tax levies for the coming year depend more, 1 than the people of Indiana realize! 1 on the success of the gross income | tax collections during the year. j 1 Early reports have been prom-I' ised by the gross income tax de-! 1 partment to the taxing officials on II the outcome of the first returns. | 1 This will give the latter some idea I 1 of what they can expect to receive | 1 from the state for expenditures in their governmental units next year. If the gross income tax collections meet anticipation a further reduction in property taxes is possible in those counties which are having little or no financial difficulties. This will apply to many counties of the state and the residents of those counties will be perfectly satisfied with the gross income tax plan. There is not a community in the 1 state which will not be operated on ' the most frugal of expenditures , next year. That is made possible by laws enacted through the support of the new state administration. Property tax levies have been reduced to the minimum. The re-| placement tax known as the gross , income tax will save the schools < of these Indiana communities, for while making certain the salaries 1 of teachers, it will relieve the taxpayers from that much of the burden of needed public expense. ( When we consider that sixty-two , per cent of the tax money collect- ■ ed last year in Indiana came from ( real estate levies, we can under- ( stand how much depends on the success of the gross income tax , collections. The income tax rate is not high enough in Indiana to ' cause any inconvenience and it aci complishes what has been demanded in Indiana for years —a more even distribution of tax burden. , And while the stock brokers are I worrying, Mr. Johnson is starting his nationwide employment program with a rush that indicates he will complete the job so thoroughly that in a few months the army of idle men will be small indeed as compared to that of the past sev-

oral years. And that's the way to beat the depression. When men are back at work and farmers are prosperous, the stock market will take care of itself and every one will be reasonably happy. The meeting of the barbers of Adams and Wells counties to be held here Monday night is important for at that time the new law affecting these tradesmen will be explained by Dan Murphy, general organizer and well posted. He will also advise as to the proper action regarding the new code, discussing prices, wages and hours, which certainly ought to interest every one engaged in the barberlng business and the public as well. For several years a dozen men have engaged almost each evening during the spring, summer and autumn, in a round of golf, some times all of them playing on the same round and usually six or eight joining in the game, which came |to be known as John Peterson's j army. Needless to say the crowd had many good times and there is ' genuine sorrow Among them today. I because of the death of their captain. The stock gamblers will get another good lesson we suppose. As soon as times began getting better many of them began playing the old game. Prices of stocks and of grains were boosted higher than they were worth and then the bulls got in their work. The profits of the past three months are gone again and many a fellow who thought he had the world by the tail, finds he is just a piker. The President of the United States is appealing to every employer to raise wages and employ | more men where possible, to short-1 en working hours and to otherwise | do every thing possible to restore prosperity. That the response will be general we do not lloubt and the more so it is, the sooner we will all be prosperous and consequently happy. We suggest to the state police radio commission and Al Feeney that if they decide to locate a barracks in Decatur or near here they will find our folks appreciative and loyal citizens. It might not be a bad idea at all. Five stations are to be constructed over the state, one in Indianapolis and the others at points near FoA Wayne. Evansville, New Albany and Gary. The reorganized state banking department will make an effort to liquidate closed banks as speedily as possible, which is a laudable intent and will please every one concerned. The depositors want their money and those who owe should want to pay as speedily as possible. Any plan which will aid this will be appreciated and will aid the community in various ways. Tennessee is apparently the dryest of the nineteen states so far to express themselves on the repeal question. By a margin of only a few thousand in comparison with other states, that home of old fashioned moonshine, decided for repeal. Returns however show the mountainous and rural sections still very dry. The Indiana Home Loan bank will be ready for business by : August Ist and its safe to predict I that they will have plenty of business at least the first six months or a year. Branches will be located in several cities outside Indianapolis for the convenience of the public. We hear so many fine things about people after they have passed away that we can’t help wondering why some of them can’t be said while the person can hear them. Perhaps, however, that would spoil the average person. If the weather man don’t make ' good on his rain promises soon, he will find it too late to help much. If he ever expects to do any thing ( for us he ought to be at it.

' around world FLIER SIGHTED OVER CANADA for New York. They arrived in their plane from Londofi only two hour. and 29 minutes earlier. They said they hoped to teat h New York in about 34 hours. After resting and overhauling their plane they planned to take off for Bagdad Mesopotimla trying for the long distance non-stop record. , , . They said they hoped to bi back in England within from seven to ten days. "For eight weeks we have been waiting.” said Mrs. Mollison. It has been a terrible strain. "Getting away is heaven to me. We will take turns piloting the plane. I will do most of the flying in the daytime and Jim will take control at night. "I have every confidence in Jim and I am sure we shall do it. The Mollison. expected a head wind over most of the Atlantic, but a more moderate one than had obtained for the last few weeks Weather conditions, never ideal tor a westward flight because of prevailing westerly winds, seemed fairly good for their flight. There was a light southwest to west wind along their course to about I 800 miles west of Ireland. There was some fog and drizzle in mid ; Atlantic. After that indications I were for a 15 mile westerly wind I to Newfoundland, then fairly good weather to New York. Standing together by their I plane, the flying sweethearts took turns, as usual, in talking* for the I team. "I never was so excited in my lite.” said Amy. • ”1 shall be the i first woman to fly the Atlantic : from east to west 'We are taking only barley sugar and coffee for the flight. "We may encounter somewhat sticky conditions on the first part of the journey." said her husband "But the weather report was good enough to justify a start. “We have received thousands of mascots. Our favorite is a St. Christopher—patron saint of aviators.” Both were wearing furlined moccasin flying hoots. Amy with a white flying suit and Mollison with the old black suit he has , worn on most of his record flights. | They climbed into the plane. Mollison took the controls. They started, circled over the sands, and were off for the sea, escorted by four airplanes. o John N *whard of Preble returned j t ohis home today after a short tour lof Indians, including Lafayette, Muncie.,and Indianapolis. o LOCAL TRUCKS ARE NOT TAXED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) be required -to pay only half the annual tax, officials explained.
