MORE THAN FULFILLED: More and more as time goes on the people of Indiana are being convinced that the state administration has made no rash promises. They are being and will be further impressed with the business acumen of public officials who have 1 ased estimates of income on the minimum rather than the maximum. at the same time figuring ex-, penses on the maximum rather than the minimum. There is for example the distribution of funds to the public schools of every county in Indiana which is taking place under data of November 1. In that instance the state administration has more han kept its promises and each , hild in 'school and each family in the state is profiting -by the good business judgment of the administration. It was estimated early In the year by the administration realers that the state excise tax and special license fees would yield $789.218.40 to the schools of the state. This was at the rate of 11.20 per pupil. Hut. the sum available for distribution on November 1 is 6874,717.06 or at the rate of $1.33 per pupil. In other words, the state administration is able to fulfill its promise ten per cent more than it anticipated. From this it can 4>e deduced that the gross income tax revenue will yield up to the expectations of the tale leaders inasmuch as its estimates were planned on the same basis as those for the excise and license fee departments. Apparently, there has been nothing rash about the judgment of the administration on finances and that being the policy it will not be long until Indiana's financial picture will be adjusted and in tip top order. It is the experience in every community that where public officials failed to make proper and conservative estimates there is trouble financially and that will be prevented in state finances it appears. Given a few years to operate smoothly, th<‘ financial program of the state administration is certain ft inspire respect and esteem. This was a promise made to the people and from all indications it is more than being fulfilled. We sorrowfully report today the death of another good friend and neighbor, Richard D. Myers, former business man. member of the board of school trustees, active in lodge and civic affairs and a leader in this community. A fine, big-heart-ed and kindly man, Dick was popular and his willingness always to assist in any thing for the good of all. he was for years a very busy citizen. He was a veteran of the Spanish American war, serving as a commissioned officer with an excellent record. He loved military affairs and adapted himself to the regulations of the army and the National Guard easily. He was for years a member of old Company B. prior to the war with Spain in 1898. For years he was engaged in the oil fields in this state. Oklahome and in Canada, returning here some years ago and engaging in the furniture business, which he

followed until ill health forced his retirement. He loved his family and was a devoted husband and an • Indulgent father: a citizen always P keen tor those improvements necessary and believed in government without waste; an up-standing 1 gentleman of firm convictions and good character. To the family are extended In this dark hour, the 1 sincere sympathies of this community. • _ J Don Erwin Is touring the state ; these days, striving to work up a 1 revival of interest in the Republii can party. Evidently he doesn't I care what he says, just so It will give his cohorts a chance to get a state job. And after that, what? Will they do any thing to make the load easier for you? They are not promising it, but Erwin spends his time at criticizing and asking officials silly questions and then answers them himself. If the public is bamfoozled by this cheap political buncomb, they will just reestablish the truth of P. T. FtarnI I urn's old adage, "One is born every minute." A farmer attending the corn husking contest at Bluffton yesterday, had his pocket picked for 11,- ‘ 300. What a farmer or any one else would be doing with that ’ amount of cash In his pocket these i days when bandits roam the high--1 ways, looking for victims, is more j than we can fathom. Just think of all the nice things he could have purchased with that roll of bills 1 After all the thing for every one ' to do. is to do his business through ■ a bank. There is no reason why ‘ you should not have confidence in 1 your banking institutions. Those 1 which have stood up under the ' strain of the past foiw years are ’ worth supporting. * • The Callithumpian celebration 5 should be made an annual event. That has been suggested by a number who were delighted with the r parade Md the good time which r accompanied it for every one. We s like these events, planned to enterJ tain visitors to the city and with- ? out any graft or any thought ex - cept to meet the folks who come j and have a good, wholesome afternoon or evening of pleasure. And I we are sure those who trade in DeI catur and many of their friends en- • joy them. It would be great to - have them more frequently. I [ The boys —we presume it was I . boys—who caused twenty-five dol- ! lars worth Os damage to books and . equipment at the Hower school . house, perhaps overlooked the fact . that they were only causing exI pense for some Os their own people. The books will have to be replaced . of, course and that’s any thing but ; a joke these days. And they have . certainly not helped themselves , any by the act and we doubt if . after all It was such a roaring good time. , Tax paying is at its height now 1 and from now until next Monday . 1 evening, you will find the offices , I of Treasurer Wechter a busy, bustl- ( ing place. Get in line, get it over and get back to normalcy as quickly as possible. After all. its great j | to live in a country like thus, where i ' we have modern conveniences, good r schools, churches and many other 1 things that our forefathers never » dreamed of. 1 Each day now we have inquiries , about the proposed Centennial tn B Decatur in 1936. That’s a little f over two years away, but if we do y it right, there should be some ade vance arrangements. At least we s could organizze a general commitj. tee and decide upon a tentative y program and then every one can e work towards the culmination of e those plans. Talk it up and write r us your suggestions. y o n CARD OF THANKS d We wish in this manner to sinl ’ cerely thank those who have so e kindly assisted us during the illness and death of our beloved wife and mother. 8 E.

narrow eages, panting with the heat, is today singing the praise of Francis Lederer. The CzeehoSlovakian star has bought the bears from the studio and will ship them back to Alaska to be freed on their native ice-fields. This human gesture is costing Lederer SSOO plus the cost of shipment. It is solving for RKO the problem of how to dispose of the animals, which were bought in St. Louis for $2400 and brought to Hollywood to be used in Lederer’s picture, "A Man of Two Worlds.” Had the star not intervened, the “cold-loving animals were destined for some Southern California zoo. Several days ago, I wrote that James Dunn can’t make up his mind between Claire Trevor and Lona Andre. “Imagine,” flips Lona, “I get second billing even in a story of that sort.” They’ll tell you that the big blowup has come on the Marjorie KingGeorge Raft romance. She started to the United Artists theatre with Georgia Thursday night to make a persona! appearance, but the two didn’t arrive there together, and Marjorie showed up later at the Coleney Club with Winslow Felix. Unfortunately, Georgia also came to the Colony and there was quite a glaring contest. And Marjorie had a date last night to go to the Bevsrly Wilshire with Bernie Toplitsky.
