Property taxes collected in 1932 amounted to $135,000,000. In 1933,1 not more than $35,000,000 will be collected, a reduction of $50,000,000. Talk about the new taxes Increasing the cost of government is • absurd when it is considered that, in 1933, the intangibles tax will not yield in excess of $1,500,000; the excise tax not more than $2,000,000 and the gross income tax not j more than $5,090,000 at the highest estimates. Added together, these new taxes will not amount to more than $8,500,000 this year. The dif-' ference between the $50,000,000 cut! in property taxes and the $8,500.0001 increase in other taxes is $41,500,- 1 000, the amount the taxpayers are saving in 1933. In 1934, indica- j tions are that property tax levies will be almost the same. The new taxes in that year will not yield 1 mare than $18,500,000, leaving a; net saving to the taxpayers of $31,500.000 in 1931. The 1934 saving! would have been as large as that' in 1933 except for the fact that hundreds of townships and cities and counties bankrupted themselves in 1933 hy reducing their income far below their minimum re-| quirements. New, they have to re-i cover their financial balance. In ' ; pite of the critical situation they j now face, the total tax bill is going to be at least $31,509,900 less in 1934 than it was in 1932. The session ot the state commit-, ‘ lee at Indianapolis next Monday,!' promises to be interesting and im- i * portant.

carriers for dally papers Over this country millions of lads have acted in this capacity, adding to their education, securing a training in business and paid their way as to clothing an I other necessities during their years in school. It is far different than factory work and we have never heard dny complaints from parents regarding this avocation by their boys. Boys from I twelve to sixteen years of age make j excellent paper carriers and it I would be a hardship to deprive them of those jobs. Securing of right-of-ways on road 527 is moving along, but slower. than hoped for when the work | started ten days ago. In numerous j cases there is joint ownership and j it is somewhat tedious to secure , all ot the names as required.

Several hundred men will be put to i work Monday and will continue until the last beet is converted: into granulated sugar, packed and ' stored or shipped. Its a great; break for this community and we certainly appreciate it. Today is the final date for filing nominations for the town elections, which in this county effects Mon- » . uni ' V.I All complied with the law and the election on November 7th will decide who is to hold these local offices.

More than four hundred cases of this kind were ready for trial when the judge began the clearance campaign, after District Attorney Fleming had suggested it. ■ A celebration on Hallowe'en will provide a lot of fun for the young people and entertain the older ones. 1 These events are not expensive and always successful when properly organized.

Kiwh-m Perkins-in private life she la Mrs. Paul C. Wilson —has' probably had more training and experience leading directly to thetask before her than any other' , member of the President’s cabinet.

She began her career as a volun-' teer worker with Jane Addams at Hull House, in Chicago, where shej ! spent six months as an investigator , in the stockyards district. Then for' : two y.ars she was employed by a; I Philadelphia social agency working i with immigrants. From Philadelphia she went to | New York, where she became executive secretary of the Consumers'i League. In that capacity she spent I many years fighting for social leg- ‘ islation. particularly improvement of the factory laws of New York' i state, and she met and made friends ■ 'with legislators, employers, labor; leaders and political bosses. Big, ! Tim Sullivan, then boss in New ' York City, was one ot her close I friends tor years.
