Henry Ford is getting just what , he wants right now, a lot of free | , publicity. Later he may have to I, spend more to explain it all. We have a hunch that when he gets., through with General Johnson, he 1 will want to hire him. Perhaps if all the state highways , bad been center marked with aI j white line, some of the accidents which occur each night, might be avoided. It will make driving' , easier and ought to be attended to forthwith. 11 J Police are checking lights and brakes over the state. They will meet up with you and you should be ready with your license and with your car in first class condition. And remember Its against the law to operate your car with the cut out open. The gulf storms are not new but Always a worry until they are over and we are hoping fervently that the worst of the blow has passed and that the rest of them manage to detour this country. The month of September is known tor these} tropical hurricanes. There should be no great difficulty iu fixing the tax budgets. Whatever is necessary should of course be included and what can be got along without should be omitted. Going on that basis, a I rate that should be satisfactory to every honest person ought to be speedily agreed to. Citizens of Decatur are pleased that the United Brethren conference has seen fit to return Rev. Charles J. Roberts, to serve another year as pastor of the local church During his residence here he has made many good friends and , has convinced every one of his desire to serve and to help. He will be welcomed by all who know him and his excellent work. If any one knows how to take care of the poor and needy without money, Trustee Tom Noll would be glad to have the recipe and if there is any fairway to get money without taxes, he and all the other budget markers would } be happy to find It. Os course there •re problems these days and there

is only on* way to meet them—thats to pay slightly more taxes for necessary expenses. More than 79,999 people attended the Indiana State fair Labor Day. indicating as much as any thing could the return of better times and a happier feeling. This Was the record crowd since 1929 and by the way its a great show, that you ought to see. With good racing, wonderful exhibits and a j program of interest every hour, its ' worth the money. — i With 1.3(6 pupils enrolled in the I Decatur schools the first day. exceeding last year by a dozen, we ■ have evidence that we must con- ' tinue our efforts to meet the cost of these Institutions. Any thing else would be unfair to the children of today. We will be over this i tight financial hole some day and ' those who are now going to school are entitled to the same chance ' that those before them have eh(joyed. The anti-taxers iu Fort Wayne declare that unless the rate for next year is maintained at *2.25, the same as this year, they will go on a strike. Just how they expect to meet the old age pension, cost of registration and an election, without adding to the cost of government is not made plain They have a right to see that taxes are held down to the lowest possible point but to go beyond that is just as unreasonable as to spend public money recklessly. The Labor Day holiday brought a score of deaths ana a hundred casualties, not so serious in this state. The highways were crowd ; < ed and as always, there were a number of reckless and careless drivers who thought it cute to cut in and out at a breakneck speed. The police could do no greater service than to “yank" these young- * sters up and see that they are taught lessons that will cause them to know that Indiana has laws. They Are a menace to every one who must travel the roads. I The NRA canvass is on and we don’t believe any person in Decatur will refuse to cooperate. This lis not a political move, but an honest-to-goodness effort to get business started so that unemployment may end and every one benefit. For four years we have fought the depression. Many efforts have been made to check' it but all fruitless. This big campaign will fail unless it has the united support of every good citizen. The results so far have been wonderful. Almost every business man has joined and is trying his beat to help by adding 1 employes, raising wages and shortening hours. Now the public should show their appreciation by patron- 1 izing the NRA stores and products and by buying the merchandise they need. * TWENTY YEARS* AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat Fl I* 'Edwina Deitsch in first room at south wand is ill with diptheria.
