Winter has hung buck quite a While but we wouldn’t' be surprised , if we still have enough to make us glad when the first johuuy-jump-ups appear. Business showed a gain of l twenty-nine per cent in the General Electric plants last year and we] are hoping they ‘bust'’ that rec-’ ord this year. It's a great organization and deserves to go ahead. It Bruno made his fifty thousand j on the stock market he was a smarter .man than most people give him credit for and its certainly queer that in that kind of oper-, atiou he kept so much cash on , hands and happened to get some’ fifteen thousand of the Lindbergh ransom marked bills. The 34,800,000,000 relief measure introduced in congress yesterday and scheduled to go through by tomorrow evening indicates that the; President intends to continue to, remember the forgotten man andj that he still has marvelous power' over congress. The measure is. designed to put millions of men to! ■work and to care for the needy in the meantime. Alvin Karpis, one of the Bremer kidnapers, has reached the piuacle In the criminal hall of fame. He is now public enemy number one but the trouble with that honor is that i it carries with it a warrant forj sure death. The police forces of America are after him and will not stop until they get their man, as has happened in the case of Dill-' Inger, Van Meter and a score of others. The untimely death of Hugh Hogan of Fort Wayne has caused sincere sorrow not only in Fort; Wayne where he had spent his life . but in this and other counties of northeastern Indiana where he was ■well and favorably known. But thirty-six years of age, educated, talented and of pleasing personality he had a brilliant butlook and ■would have made good if life had been extended. For the third consecutive year | Adams county will not hold a de-1 linqueut lax sale, local officials I acting under provisions of a bill! passed the first week of the legislature. This is done of course to give those who are delinquent the opportunity to save their properties, mil because of the leniency, all should remember that the taxes •will eventually have to be met and that they should pay if and when possible. Indiana may buy 509,000 acres of land in lhe south part of tin; state to be used as a vast game preserve, ft would cover five counties and -would be one of the great game sections in America. Some two and a half million dollars, however, is required to make the purchase which would mean extra taxes of some kind and most people probably feel they can get along with out the pre«er v e just now easier

than they can Pay higher taxes, in any form. Al Feeney and his state policemen are after those who operate slot machines or other gambling devices and they mean business. 1 j Those who are engaged in this kind of business should not com- . plain If they get nipped for they , have had sufficient warning. Down ; at Jeffersonville the local police refused to aid the state officials but ; that didn't slop them and as a re--1 suit the Feeney men will see that i those fellows who think they are I the law, keep right on the line. — According to the Pathfinder, pub- ; lisbed in Washington, D. C„ there are 7,500,000 people in the United States who are 65 years of age or over. About 750,000 of these are on relief rolls and 180,000 more are drawing state old-age pensions. The same magazine says that it is estimated that at least one-half of I the persons past 65 years old today are dependent on relief, charity or relatives. The least fortunate half must thank their God for a President of the United Stales * like Franklin D. Roosevelt. — Fort • Wayne Journal-Gazette. We will need three million dollars in Indiana to take advantage of the government's offer to assist ■ us in road building, thus giving om- : ployment to a good sized army of 'men the next year or two. Now Governor McNutt and his advisors are seriously considering whether it will be smartest to raise that money by taxes or to issue bonds, I which may mean the beginning of la bonded debt. We have prided ourselves so long about having one of the best road systems in Amer- ’ ica without owing as do most of ! the other states, that we regret , the necessity of it now, but if that Ils needed to provide the employI ment and secure the wonderful im--1 provements, of course that s the thing we must do. o— —— — * S FarTs IG NAL S 1 By OCTAVINE | For parsons who believe that hu- . man destiny is guided by J.
