Most people now recognize that a ( person may acquire educationl through his own efforts, by studying all sides of controversial subjects and applying common sense to reach a conservative conclusion that takes into consid ration the rights and duties of every Individ-

ual. Indiana has now reached the end of the first year of an administration that was elected to perfect a new system of State government and settle, if possible, the timeworn question of taxation. And that has been done. Certainly, it is the privilege of any individual to disagree with the way the administration has tackled the problem. but. in disagreeing, they show lack of study and no application of common scuse if tin y do not point out wherein the administration has failed and how it should have dope differently. Much of the barrage of criticism was centered on the Gross Income Tax. It has abated considerably but the fire is still simmering. Those who would revive it should study the record of one ecunty where the tax delinquency on real estate is eleven per cent. It is even more in many counties. These , objectors to the Gross Income Tax might use the efforts they spend on criticism toward figuring how . such a deficit is to be met and at tlie same time the standards oi decent government be rontinued. unless there is a broadening of the tax base. And so it is with other points in the state administration's program. Nothing wrong with it or tho snipers would have produced a substitute. The ball to be given the evening of January 30th is not political, although it is given in honor of President Roosevelt's birthday. It is one of five thousand to be held over the country, the proceeds from which will go to the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, created in 1926 by Mr. Roosevelt to carry on a crusade against infantile paralysis. That’s all it is and that’s enough to inspire those who wish to aid a great cause. “Handsome Jack" Klutas, Chicago gangster, kidnaper and killer, is dead at the hands of some of his supposed pals. He was a graduate of the University of Illinois and

supposed to bo the brains of one of the toughest gangs in the mid-] die west. Check another one off the list. * In office leas than a year. Postmaster General Farley has reduced i the deficit two-thirds. That’s quite a record and indicates It can be : entirely wiped out If desired and It also shows that the genial Mr.; Farley has been paying attention to some things besides awarding ■ jobs. Four or five lodges, clubs and 1 sororities have agreed to assist in the President’s birthday ball here on the .'loth and Chairman Norbert Holthouse assures us the event is going to bo lhe best ever offered here, with a fine orchestra, floorj show, bridge and dancing. Plan for a good time. There is a report that John Dillinger, the bad 1 audit, is hanging out at Cleveland. Well if he is he will probably show himself sooner or later for these fellows seem to he able to remain idle only a short time and then the bug hits them, and they are out after their prey. ; Don't postpone making your state * income tax report before the 30th ; of this mouth. It doesn't i>ay to | postpone these matters until the j last minute and then get into a spot where you are all hot and bothered. You may find some thing to com-1 plain about as regards the present efforts being made at Washington

but you must agree that any effort to restore johs to the working men, to increase business and to aid the farmer are worth supporting. The total fire loss iu Decatur last year was only $3,700. a splendid showing for the fire department. They made forty-two runs and deserve much credit for saving many thousand dollars to the community. Want government reports on agriculture, education, law or other departments? Write Congressman James I. Farley at Washington and he will send you the bulletins as issued. The supreme court has decided that those who don't have 1934 license plates on their cars are sub ject to arrest. Its foolish to buck the law. o 4' Household Scrapbook -BY — ROBERTA LEE • « The Gold Fish Bowl To remove all the deposits from the goldfish bowl use a cloth dipped in vinegar.

The loss was estimated at more than $1,000,000. One-third of the city's fire fighting equipment was concentrated in battling the spectacular blaze. Two of the 35 employes in the building when the fire broke out were severely burned. An explosion after the fire started endangered other buildings in the contested ! near-south side district. I The unusual speed with which the flames spread caused Corrigan to express the opinion that the fire was of incendiary origin and to order an investigation. — O' —— ARRIVALS Mr. and Mrs. Earl Blackburn of Indiana, street are the parents of a i six pound boy baby, born at It o'clock Tuesday morning.

By HARRISON CARROLL. Coorrltht, 1114, King Fmiutm Srndleal,. Ing HOLLYWOOD, —Be it ' ever so amazing, Lilian Harvey says if she loses her court fight 1

nwr-wMimr-. ~ s ft ** s i; BL | I I & » ■ ■ Lilian Harvey

against Fox, she’ll go right back to Germany, get married and have a baby. The dainty star won't name German actor Willie Fritsch as the prospective bridegroom, but she admits she talked to him 15 minutes on Christmas Day. She also displays a platinum and diamond wedding ring, which arrived as a Yuletide gift. The inside of the ring

is inscribed : “Iwsil.” The star won’t translate the code meaning. Blonde Lilian is nothing if not confident. She says she already has ordered a nursery to be built onto her villa outside Berlin. Meanwhile, the star soon starts, under protest, dubbing her latest picture, "I Am Suzanne,” into French and German. It is to test Fox’s right to make her do these voice-dulbing foreign versions that Lilian goes to court this month against the studio. Her friends insist she will be dissatisfied even if she does win the suit, and will be going back to Germany anyway in a few months. “I want to retire from the screen for at least a year, perhaps forever,” says the star. So this nursery business is serious. Mae Clarke and Sidney Blackmer probably would get married if both didn’t have family responsibilities. Mae talked to me frankly about it on the set of “It Happened One Day." , “I have too many obligations," declared the M-G-M star. “I would hesitate to foist them on anybody who already has so many as Sidney. “Then we want to be very sure of ourselves. This is a romantic moment and it would be so easy to get married and perhaps make a mistake I don’t want any more mistakes. With me, next time is going to be forever and ever.” The Herbert Marshalls may delay their reunion yet a while longer. The decision rests with Edna Best. Marshall has an offer to do a New York play as soon as he finishes "Rip Tide” opposite Norma Shearer. He likes the play, but he also is very anxious to see his wife and baby. So he is reading parts of the play on long distance telephone to Edna Best in London. Whatever she says he will do.

You may not believe this, Bing Crosby swears it’s true. Several days ago the crooning star had his private telephone number changed, and, in proverbial manner, forgot it himself. First, brother Everett Crosby tried to wheedle it out of the operator. Then he called Bing to the phone. Bing finally got the number. He got it by crooning part of the number, “Please,” until the operator recognized his voice.

QUICK GLIMPSES. Clark Gable was the most jubilant man in Hollywood when his horse, “Beverly Hills,” won its race at Agua Caliente. Its very first race too. The star had to undergo all the suspense in Hollywood, but Mrs. Gable was at the track and had a clear wire to describe the victory to Clark. He promptly called everybody he knew. Oddly enough, the horse of Kohn Meehan. M-G-M writer, was the favorite in the race But most of the studio was backing “Beverly Hills." Even Lionel Barrymore had several bets. Little Verna Hillie (one of the Paramount “Panther Women”) didn’t give up her career after all when she married Frank Gill. Saw her out at M-G-M and she is taking a test in a few days. . . .
