Amos is right. Don't believe in fortune tellers. — We liked that “cold wave" the best of anv predicted. Well, anyway, Mr. Poet tiger’s i career as an ordinary newspaper reporter is probably ended. We doubt if it would settle anything to have the public voting all the time on changes in the Const!tution. A referendum on the state Constitution lias never carried by popular vote. The police are your public servants and are at your service when it comes to protection of life and j property. Their satisfaction comes in seeing a cooperative spirit on the part of the public in this re spect. The house has passed the billi prohibiting municipal plants from engaging in the retail business, or iu other words sell accessories and supplies in colli petition to retail; trade. That law will not affect Decatur, as the new administration put a stop to the practice ahead of i the legislature. A week from tonight is the hall for the President. This dance is more than a social gathering and ' the purpose behind it is lutmanitarian, charitable. All of the net proceeds go to help cripple children, 70 per cent remaining in the local communities in which the' dances are held. You cun enjoy; yourself and help the worthy cause by purchasing your ticket. Adams county is credited with the fourth lowest number of people 1 on public relief. The total number of families receiving aid this month is given at 200. while the percentage based on the county's popula-; lion is only 1.7 per cent. Compared with Allen at 15.7, Wells 11.7, Jay 8.6 and others fn that class, this county has a record exceeded by! only three counties in the state.! It s a good position to be in. — The Indiana Taxpayers Associalion, through Harry Jliesse, the, secretary, is providing a valuable public service iu furnishing a synopsis of the hills introduced in I the legislature. The digest deals! with measures largely associated, with taxes and each hill is analyzed from the point of decreasing or increasing taxes. The list was printed in yesterday's Daily Democrat and many found it of genuine interest. The bulletins will be printed each week. if tile legislature does decide to revamp the distribution of the auto licenses fees and gasoline taxes, the law should not become effective until next January. All towns and cities have anticipated receiving a certain amount from tile fees and laxft: if these estimates are cut or entirely eliminated, what are local communities goiug to do about funds'! In Decatur, the council estimated $4,800 from the state auto license and gas tax and tlys

| a men IP was deducted front the total of the budget, so If the money is not forthcoming how will street repair work be paid for? r A small towu in Pennsylvania refused to pay the privately-owned t water company Its annual churgo for lire hydrant rentals so the , management started out with an ax and knocked down the hydrants, t Now the hamlet is without lire protection and an appeal has l»een j made to the state’s Public Service 1 1 Commission. The only way the ! town might continue to go on withJ j out paying the water bill is to buy > I the utility and then do tike many 1 Indiana cities do and furnish this * i needed service free of charge, lint i the question arises, if they don’t have money enough to pay the yearly bill, how can they buy the water works? That's for Pennsylvania to worry about. Plans are under way to extend by two years the life of the Recon- ! struction Finance Corporation ! which expires January 31. The ' record of the RFC in coping with | the problems of the depression is i one of the brightest spots in the 1 whole picture of Federal aid. The RFC was launched with $500,000.I 000 capital subscribed by the government. It was authorized to Issue notes and debentures so that it might have outstanding at any one ' t ime as much as $3,750,000,000. The purpose In its organization was to lend assistance to banks, railways 1 and other institutions in need of jand entitled to help. A report as |t>f last September shows that it had put out *3.874,448.000. The corporj ation has made a profit of $65,175,1 063 since its beginning, according to a statement just issued by Chair- 1 man Jesse Jones. It had net earn- ! ings of $26,002,917 last year. The j 1 chairman also reports that 61 per i i cent of all the loans it has made j :av. 1 repaid. The corporation j has been managed on a sound bus- | iness basis. Aid has been extended where it would be effective, but c ! the credit of that government-back-ed corporation has not been extended where undeserved. —Indianapolis Star. o — j* STAR ' By OCTAVINE ♦ ♦ . pel sons wh ■ believe that human destiny is guided by the planets the dally horoscope is outlined by a i noted astrologer.
