REPUDIATION IS POOR BUSINESS: The plight of the twelve counties that deliberately defaulted on their Interest and debt chargee last year is exactly what might have been expected. They escaped nothing and have involved themselves in difficulties that must be met under the law. They have simply added to their own troubles by postponing the day of reckoning. The champions of tax reductions who follow their theories to the point of repudiating interest and principal on bonded indebtedness are short-sighted, to put it mildly. The confidence of the investing public in the credit of our taxing units has been a valuable asset to the cities, counties, schools and townships. There are thousands of Hoosiers with money saved up who would not think of trusting funds to an individual or corporation, but readily lend it to the public. They have considered failure to meet such obligations as beyond the range of possibility. A bond issued by a Hoosier taxing unit was looked on as absolutely dependable. The trust the people have placed in their public departments has not only insured a ready market for bofid issues,but has meant those secujjies are in the hands of the investors who are least able to take chances and are most in need of protection. An issue may be bid UJ by a bank or brokerage firm, Jut it is generally purchased for Tesale to investors seeking the greatest safety for their funds. If « county, a city or any other •branch of the public service goes into bankkruptcy, it is not hitting a lot of wealthy creditors in Wall street, or some other faraway j;lace, but is victimizing its own Jeople. The public credit should be maintained. as it has been, at the highest level. It is not only a question *f honor, but of self-interest, that interest charges and amortization ■be taken care of promptly. Economy and low taxes are fine, but *Jiey should not be attained at the Expense of public credit. The advocates of tax reform are performTJtg a poor service when they carry their idea to the point of repudiation and the sacrifice of public Confidence and respect.—lndianapolis Star. ~ The state linking department Jas acted wisely, we feel, in selectjig the liquidating agents for the fild Adams County Bank and the people's Loan & Trust Association. •Jhese men Jcnow the duties, have on ide excellent records and can

continue to look after the interests of every one in a better way than a stranger who would require several mouths at least to acqquaint himself with the facts. Under the new plan it is believed the collections can be made more speedily and the entire business closed with dispatch and to the best Interests of every one. The sugar factory is getting ready for the big fall campaign when the beets will be turned into granulated sugar of the purest brand. In doing so they are furnishing employment to about a ; hundred men. Add to this the work during the campaign when the factory is operating and the money paid to the farmers for their crop and we have one of the finest industries any community can have. Everybody appreciates it and will gladly prove Icyal any time the occasion arises. The Gold Medal colt show and the 441 Calf club closed their annual exhibit Saturday noon with a big parade and L. E. Archbold, county agent as well as all who assisted him in sponsoring the event, have a right to feel very proud of the success. The crovds were large and the interest the keenest and the three days closed with a treasure hunt put on by the Decatur merchants which likewise provided much amusement. The appointment of Mrs. Rena Zehr of Berne to be postmistress, concludes a lively campaign that has continued some six or eight months and in which a number of excellent citizens and staunch Democrats contended. The fight was however never as bitter as many would have had the public believe and the candidates are still good friends, realizing that only one person could receive the honor and the plum. The folks liked the treasure hunt and it was interesting to watch thppy made the rounds, looking for their number on some gift of merit. This is ohe of the best trading points in the country because the merchants give values and believe in entertaining and interesting their customers. Business for August has been better than usual and every one is beginning to show some real pep. Every one we know of is hoping the government will decide to proceed at once with the proposed improvement of the Wabash river. It would provide employment for hundreds for a year or two and would save a couple of hundred thousand dollars for Adams county and her citizezns. The matter, according to the dope from Washington, will he decided in a few days. The attorney general has overruled Director Fry in the opinion that its legal to “rush the growler” in Indiana and now those bright new buckets and sprinkling cans purchased for the purpose will have to be used for just ordinary water carrying. It's a tough world. o Answers To Test Questions Below a.-e the Answers to the Test Questions Printed nn Page Two. ♦ ♦ 1. A noted pirate. 2.

SCHOOLS MAKE OWN ESTIMATES I Officials To Prepare Estimates of Payments Made By State Indianapolis. Aug 21 —(Special! School officials throughout the state of Indiana have been advised to prepare their own estimates of the amount of money they will receive from the state for payment of teachers’ salaries, officials said today. In a letter mailed to all trustees and school superintendents in Indiana. Clarence A. Jacksou, director of the gross income tax division, reiterated the promise of Gov. Paul V. McNutt that at least S2OO will be paid for each "teaching unit" on Jan. 1, 1934. Another distribution of at least SIOO will be made in July, 1934, making a total of S3OO for the calendar year, Jackson estimated. Gov. McNutt has announced that all money paid to the gross income tax division before Jau. 1, 1934. will be returned to the schools for part payment of the salaries of teachers.

“Teaching units" form the basis for the distribution of the state funds. These teaching units are based upon the average dally attendance in the grade schools and high schools of any given school unit. In each county, each township and school corporation will he entitled to share the state j funds in proportion to the attend- j ance in the schools of the township or corporation. For each 35 pupils attending a grade school, on the average, a school unit will be entitled to part pay for one teacher. An average daily attendance of 25 in the high schools entitles the school unit to part of the pay for a high school teacher. A maximum of S6OO is set on lhe amount the state can pay any teacher in any given year. Only teachers actively engaged in instruction can share In the state money. For the purpose of giving some indication of the amount of state funds required to make the full distribution, the Indiana department of education used 1932 enrollment figures and computed the probable attendance at 90 per cent of the enrollment tn determining the probable number of “teaching units" allotted to each school unit. All estimates so far made on the distribution of the gross income tax revenues to the schools have been based on these figures. In the letter sent to school officials. Jackson urged each one to prepare his own estimates. J. William Bosse, statistician in the department of education, has announced that when the distribution is made, the average daily attendance figures for the first two months of the 1933-31 school year will be taken as a basis of calculation. Not until these attendance figures are available will the actual amount of the state’s payments be known, Bosse points out. Detailed instructions to the school men on the manner in which the department of educa’ion will determine the number of “teaching units" to which a school unit is entitled, have been sent out by George C. Cole, state superintendent of public instruction. In addition to the “teaching units” to which a school unit automatically becomes entitled under the law governing distribution of funds, the state board of education has the power to declare emergencies and to provide additional funds where absolutely necessary.
