McNutt's recent forecast of probable state revenues and their effects on the school system j of the state. a Ten days before county tax ad- I justment boards were to meet and ' in plenty of time to enable these f boards to make necessary and ad- 8 visable changes in lax rates. Gov. p McNutt made a bold move against ‘ which political advisers had spoken. The governor called upon state officials to provide him with all de- R tails of the operation of the new ' revenue laws. These were laws 1 which the governor knew had been ' » passed with the intention of reducing property taxes. Now. he felt, was the time for the reduction. 1 The result of his survey was that 1 county tax adjustment boards throughout the state have been advised to expect a total of $17,500,- € 000 or more in distributions from c the new excise, intangibles and gross income tax laws before the end of the 1934-35 school fiscal year. In a large majority of Indiana communities, this means that , 1931 property tax levies will be re- t duced on the average of S9OO a j teacher. t There can be no doubt that the governor has gone the limit in attempting to protect the property L taxpayer. All the responsibility is | on his shoulders. He is taking a | chance on these new state laws | and on the ability of his administration to make them successful. He is willing to give the taxpayers t all the breaks. a Colorado, Maryland and Minne- j sota are voting on the repeal question today. Maine voted yesterday. Steadily the states seem to be f turning in the decision that repeal *■ is necessary in order to secure laws * 5 * that will regulate and can be en- ( forced. It is believed that within < a month and certainly by Novem- 1 her 7th. the thirty-six states neces- ' sary will have voted repeal. How- . ever that cannot come until December since several of the state * conventions will not be keld until that time. One hundred and ninety-nine | fanners have signed the wheat agreement. This does not mean , that those who are yet undecided cannot do so but it does mean that ' 1 the 199 will have the right to elect officers and operate the organizaIf you need money for any worthy purpose, do not hesitate to consult us.

• thin. Those who sign now will have all the other advantages and we believe that eventually every wheat grower will desire to take advantage of the proposition. Elections in Monroe, Berne and Geneva will be necessary thia year, according to information from state Democratic beadquarters. The law postponing city elections does not effect the incorporated towns. Nominations may be made either by conventions or petition and this will probably be attended to bhis mouth. The state election commissioners will issue a I pamphlet this week, giving instructions. The Adams county tax board will go into session next Monday, their | job being to go over the proposed ' budgets and cut them if and where I possible. Its by no means an easy 1 task nor an enviable one but we, are fortunate that the board as selected consists of able, courageous and honest citizens who will; do their very best for the citizens and tax payers. Political writers declare Senator 1 Arthur Robinson will be renontin- 1 ated without opposition by the Republicans next spring. If be is. we will always doubt the wisdom of their leaders. He is a joke in the J senate, second only to Huey Long | and so far as Indiana is concerned, is known as a Klu Klux accident. Have you some ideas about beautifying Decatur? We will be glad to publish them. Mr. Klepperi recently stated several suggestions. I How can we progress? its time! every one got going. We have been sitting still several years and ' now we seem to be awakening. A ! little effort will produce wonderful I results. A couple of men were arrested ' in Fort Wayne for stealing ice, evidence that the summer is not over. They backed a truck up to , a refrigeiator car and helped them- 1 selves to 300 pounds. Cuba is trying out a professor as president, evidently thus avoiding the necessity for a “brain trust.” His name is Ramon Grau San Martin and he seems to have the support of the revolutionists. — —o * Household Scrapbook ! —By— ROBERTA LEE ] Clogged Pipes If small pieces of soap have got-1 ten down the drain pipe, pour boiling water down the pipe to melt it But soap will not clean the pipes and should be prevented from clogging them.
