Starting from that premise, perhaps makes an NRA agreement a little difficult. Evidently a good many still have laith in the government. The treasury department issued $75,000,000 worth of treasury bills, due in ninety days and at an average of par and they were over subscribed four times. Another Capone trial may not excite as much interest now as the one of a few years ago but it might assure the public of his being sign-i ed up for another period on the j Atlanta ball team, where it is said 'he is a star. The police radio fund Is coming, in and Sheriff Johnson, county chairman, feels sure he will receive sufficient supimrt to put the quoto over. With this system over the state, every one will feel much safer -and have a right to feel that way. How about it ? Did you give a book to the library? Remember they made such a request recently because of a shortage of funds due to the reduced levy for this very necessary public institution?. If you overlooked itfi give now and Ts you haven't a book, perhaps you will donate a small amount towards the fund for new books. . Members of the city administration are doing their utmost in considering the budget, to keep it • jkwwlo that of last year, which of course, figured on the reduced valuations, would make it much less. the .proper thing of course ■and shows the good judgment of those who are looking after your .municipal affairs.

throats and kidnapers is being demanded by the state prosecutor of Kansas City and he has the sup- • port of about all of the 125,01X1,000 people ill this country. These men have committed about every crime known in modern banditry and there can be no excuse for them escaping without the severest pun- ■ isliment possible. A parade miles long will leave here the morning of the 21th for Huntington to take part in the big Dairy Day. Delegations from Winchester and from Delphos. Spencerville, Ohio, Greenville and other places will join the Adams county crowd here and all move on to take Huntington. It's going to be fun and entertainment and you shouldn’t miss it. The parade will form on the east side of Second street at 8:30 and start moving as soon as made up. Get in line. Speaking to all the people of Indiana. Governor .McNutt has given a statement of policy which the people of the state will appreciate for its frankness and its evident desire to have the population of Indiana cooperate with him in the solution of problems that are of 'no minor Importance. The Governor said the policy of the administration will be to set up a system of internal audit in the state government that the people will know from month to month what is being spent, what is being received in finances jind the standing of I their state treasury. This has i never been done before in Indiana. Obviously, its effect will be to bring the people into closer touch and contact with their state government and they will be able to see and understand without the influence of partisan arguments what the expenditures qre for and why they are necessary. For several weeks, the Republican state committee has been ranting about alleged extravagances of the McNutt administration. Various figures have been quoted as supposed proof of this extravagance. But Governor .McNutt has announced positive figures to show there lias been a saving in ths cost of state government. He did not stop with that but added the adoption of the new policy by which the public can learn for itself what is being spent. It will not be necessary in the future for the people of Indiana to rely on the leadership of any political party whatever its name for accurate and positive information on the financial condition of the state. They can obtain this of their own will and they will be supplied with a report that must conform with record they can always check. There has been unprecedented demands on the new state administration which faced a three and a half million dollar deficit when it assumed control. Despite this the administration can show economy and efficiency has prevailed. When these are com bined with a frankness never before known in Indiana governmental circles, the people of the state can hardly ask or expect more. .—. —o
