REPUDIATING OBLIGATIONS One of the most startling suggestions as to away out of tinan- 1 cial difficulties in which many Indiana communities find themselves as they estimate their expenses for tlie coming year is that coming from a prominent man in one of the larger Indiana cities. i He demanded of the council in that l city that it repudiate its debts, such as payment of principal and interest on bond issues, and thereby re1 duee the budget of public expenses < next year as a relief to the taxpayers. i Obviously, this man does not , hold any municipal or public bonds , that were issued back there when , the taxpayers were clamoring for 1 all kinds of public improvements. The conservative investor bought public bonds as a safe investment, accepting a lower rate of return i than was promised the speculator. Now it is proposed that his reward for making that sacrifice shall bo a Repudiation of the obligation which the city owes to him. In other words, it is proposed that communities in financial straits get into the “dead-beat” class. There must be some other way out than this. Naturally, every taxpayer wants his tax bill lowered, but there is a question whether many taxpayers want their community to “beat” an honest debt. The load is heavy, it is true, but , if every citizen will make a con- . scientious effort to pay up the bill , often created by indiscretions of the mad age the lesson learned , wi'l never be forgotten regardless , of how great prosperity becomes. . It is not the fault of public officials that taxes are high. The taxpayers wanted the improvements cr there would be no im- , provements. One of the arguments from an organizer of retail mer- ( chants against the state gross income tax is that it was not needeu. The communities are now running into the same problem that the state administration faced when it when it was forced to adopt the gross income tax. In that connection it might be prudent to figure how many petitions you signed for public improvements several years ago. Well, the bill is due, it must I be paid. Repudiation is away out but there is a question of honor involved and the American people are potentially honest. The tragic death of Amos Fisher, street commissioner, yesterday, brought genuine sorrow to the

- thousands who knew and respected and liked him and who realize how sincerely he was devoted to his work. Ho took great satisfac- ' I tion in keeping the streets and alleys of Decatur clean and in good condition and he loved to beautify and landscape the parks. He did a splendid work during his career as a public official and the regrets we hear today are genuine. To him much credit is due for the wonderful improvement of Legion Memorial Park, where he converted the old cemetery into one of the most beautiful spots in any Indiana city. He knew his job and he did it well. He was courteous and thoughtful and kind, holding the respect of the people with whom he came in contact and retaining always the honest respect of those who worked with and for him. The community has lost a good and useful citizen and our sympathies are extended to the bereaved family. It costs nothing to support the NIRA and it Is asked only so the 1 administration will know the general public is in accord with the movement to better times and conditions. It should be the happy privilege of every one to do this, regardless of politics. We should forget every thing except the desire to aid those who have pledged their time and effort and ability to take the nation out of the worst slump it was ever in. A few months ago we were at the bottom of the pit. Federal banks were closed and state and nation were in a position that repudiations. would soon be necessary. Millions ’ were out of work and few, if any , were earning a living. Already | there is a decided betterment and more than two million have return- ' ed to jobs. Surely you favor such I progress as has been made and if ! we will stick by each other, next , year will be an old fashioned prosperous and happy one in America. The county tax rate will be about 68 cents on the SIOO, according to the figures compiled by the county council. This includes five cents for interest on bonds. The officials have, we are sure been as careful as is possible to delete all unnecessary expenses and have offered the public the lowest rate, compatible ' with good business. It goes now I to the county tax board which will meet the 18th to go over the figures and to ascertain if possible, any place where reductions can be made. It is one thing to say by law that we must have a total rate not to exceed $1.50 but to do that and meet the requirements of other laws ai.d pay the obligations already made upon demand of the people, is quite another. In the l opinion of most conservative and I careful citizens, the council has done every thing within their power for the people. Those who are talking tax strikes might remember that they are only encouraging tax delinquencies and all the troubles that go with it. That won’t help any individual or community. Where it has been I tried, those who so engaged are' sorry and wish they had acted , more wisely. It won’t amount to much in Indiana. Since the government has allocated the money for improvement of the Wabash river, it looks like it was up to those interested to see that the engineers get their blue prints ready and that the various communities propose what they feel would be beneficial and necessary. . It seems to be settled. Even old dry Vermont, where you had to buy a petrified sandwich even in the old days, to get a drink, favors repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Women Turn Mechanics Elyria, Ohio. —(U.R) —In order that housewives may know how to repair their own sewing machines, a clinic will be held here under the auspices of County Extension Agent Alice Bird. Women will be taught the mechanics of their sewing machines and other household appliances.

I dress that has the whole town talking. Gasps and excited comments followed the glamorous marquise as she entered the forecourt of Graunian’s Chinese Theatre and later walked down the aisle to take her seat among H ollywood’s elite gathered for the premiere , of “Dinner At ; Eight.”

The fact that Gloria and the handsome Michael Farmer were ac--1 companied by Carole Lombard and Bill Powell was sensation number : one. j But the unique and startling hair-dress worn by the star was ' what set the gossips really buzzing. It was like turning back a page in • I Hollywood’s history to the time I when Gloria’s coiffures in De Mille i pictures used to start thousands of girls into a fury of imitation. I .The new Swanson hair-dress — ! and this is authentic because I called Gloria up and she described I I it to me —consists of a part down ! the center to the nape of the neck—- ■ four curls on either side of the fore- , j head and a similar number on each side at the back. ■ | You’ll be interested in the origin. . "When I was in Europe,” Gloria explained. "Suzanne Talbot designed a pork-pie hat for me. She urged me to dress my hair something like this. But I really got the idea from a picture of an aunt • of mine taken around 1900. She ► was wearing a mass of curls at the i forehead. This wasn’t exactly what . I wanted. I got a French girl who 1 used to work on my hair in pictures 3 and ,we devised this coiffure with the four curls on either side.” The result, I’m assuring you, is • Hollywood's main topic of conversation today.

Maybe you haven't heard it, Bernie Bernard’s story of the vauJdeville actor who stood in such terror of getting the sack that he hated to open his mail. One day. a long envelope arrived for him. Watching furtively, his fellow peri formers saw him turn pale. With shaking fingers he slit tne envelope, took out the sheet of paper. Came a sigh of relief. He exclaimed: “My brother is dead.” | With the start of her picture only a week away, Clara Bow and Rex I Bell suddenly packed up and went to their ranch. They even forgot to notify some invited guests who I showed up to go swimming and i found a deserted house. Fox in- | sists there is no trouble over the picture and close friends of Clara'z near them out. The lowdown, they say, is that the red-head alwayz gets in a terrific state of nerves before the start of a picture. She 1 had been in bed for three days, and • the studio naturally was sending 1 people out to talk to her. Clara's solution was a disappearance act. But everyone says she’ll be back. r - I FAST ONES.

Thorn in charge of the agricultural adjustment administration here. The control plan involved Pur- L chase of young pigs weighing less than 100 pounds and of piggy sows. It was the plan to buy up at a bonus 4,000,000 of the light pigs and 1,000,000 sows. Officials refused! to estimate today the number of sows that have been received but it was admitted receipts of this type have been disappointing.
