The military parade was staged this mor glug and thousands of people witnessed the demonstration. The reunions are happy affairs and each year'Jp deeper interest is taken in the running of the organization. One of the most depressing habits that can take hold of us is that of the dark side, picking flaws, finding something wrong, and Criticizing activities of others. With just a little practice almost any one can acquire this habit. You can easily become gloomy, and spend most of your time and conversation commiserating over the dark and unpleasant side of life. — Moultrie Observer. The School board proposes to raise less than 540.000 in property taxes next year for the operation of jjrade and high schools. The balance required comes from the distribution of state taxes, including rihe gross income and excise taxes, amounting to about SII,OOO and balances on hands. The budget is uom piled for the school term only, or the period ending next Jung. It is a fine showing and prod! that the trustees have done a gffiod job the past year and take an economical slant on things. The balance sheet of the Decatur school board shows a bonded indebtedness of the school city of only $11,500 and it is being liquidated as fast as the bonds become due.* Physical assets are appraised at $266,349.09, net, representing

buildings, grounds and equipment, but that Is small compared to the real function of the school system. Educating the youth of today cannot he figured in dollars and cents merely and the person who tries to dope It out that way loses track of one of the principal purposes in life. The best proof that the city administration has reduced the civil city's tax bill Is shown in a comparison with the 1931 budget and the one prepared for $1935. In 1931 the amount raised by a tax levy was $48,000. In 1935, the 40cent levy will produce about SU,000. By eliminating the levies for ornamental street lighting and fire hydrant rentals two years ago and now apply ng more than $2,500 of the current profits from the municipal plant on the bill, the amount to be raised by taxation is only 35 per cent of the former total. New York city has some job. Monthly expenditures for poor relief amount to 18 million dollars and to raise this vast sum. Mayor LaGuardia proposes a one-half of one per cent tax on gross business receipts. The law is similar to the Indiana gross income tax. al though the exemption is $5,000 instead of SI,OOO. it is estimated that the business tax will raise fifty millions a year. Mayor LaGuardia, evidently is not afraid to take a favorable stand on the bill and (points out “it must not be forgotten that 18 million spent on relief every month benefits business. since that money is spent locally for the necessities of life.” The Kansas delegation in the House of Representatives will seem unfamiliar to the old-timers on the floor and in the galleries without W. A. Ayres, whom the President has appointed to the Federal Trade Commission. With the exception of one term, he has been a member from the Wichita district since the beginning of the Sixty fourth Congress. More than that, despite the anomalies of a Democratic senator and governor of Kansas, Mr. Ayres has long been the foremost Democrat in the state. At least once Kansas Democrats went to their national convention pledged to vote for ‘‘Bill” Ayres as the Sunflower's favorite son.—New York Times. Under the head of ‘news thats fit to print,” the Celina, Ohio. Daily Standard comments as follows: "Newspapers that are coerced are not living up to their trust. Any paper keeps out matters of scandalous or personal nature that have no bearing on the public. Liberty of the press does not mean liscentiousness. Undoubtedly a paper filled with filth can build up a subscription overnight, as was proved by the once popular Ohio Examiner, while a decently run news sheet will have to work many years to get a good circulation. The example of the Ohio Examiner further shows that a dirty rag can descend just as fast as it ascends. For a paiper, however, to keep out stories that are of public interest because the person involved threatens is plain cowardice.” o
