I After all, Mr. and Mrs. Dionne will find there is more interest in their quintuplets than in all thej tall buildings and show places in Chicago. Motorists like that new bill which taxes automobiles onlyj three dollars a year. It does seem that the auto owner is; entitled to some reduction in taxes. Property owners living along thej proposed route of the new state, road east and south of Decatur' and extending north to Butler, are asked to cooperate with the Highway Department in furnishing right-of-ways. The road will be improved this year or next if the easements are provided and another tine highway will be added to the state system. The first thing necessary is the obtaining of the right-of-ways. The February issue of Outdoor Indiana, published jointly by the departments of Agriculture and Conservation, contains many interesting articles on the state's natural resources and programs furthered in the interest of the public. It makes a Hoosier feel proud of his state and gives him tlie urge to visit some of the scenic , places shown on the pages of the magazine. It ij well edited and in every respect is a worth-while effort. With the federal government endeavoring to obtain a listing of■ work projects throughout the country, it might be practical for the! Homestead corporation to include a request to rebuild the connecting sewer system in the south part of town. If the Knapp sewer is not adequate for additional sani- ! tary outlets, it would be wiser z-to rebuild tlie sewer now and obtain 1 a grant from the federal govern-j ment to defray the costs. Phil L. Macklin has assumed his duties as Decatur postmaster, succeeding L. A. Graham, who held the office for the past eight years. Until the Civil Service requireM ments are disposed of. Mr. Macklin will hold the title of acting postmaster. His appointment was recommended by Congressman Farley ami lie assumes Hie office well qualified to dispatch the duties of the post. Mr. Graham served with credit during two terms during which the new federal building was constructed and occupied. The state budget for the next two years will be increased, estimates prepared by the committee Indicate. In explaining tlie reasons for additional funds, the committee makes the following observation. "The task of preparing Hie budget has been a most difficult one. . . . We have endeavored to keep constantly before us the necessity for strict economy. However, both good business and good government demand that the care ■of the property of the state, the care of the dependent charges, the maintenance of educational stand

ards, the enforcement of law, the administration of justice and the currying out of other necessary functions of government under existing laws, must be provided.’ The increases listed largely include appropriations for building . programs at state institutions, public works, conservation and operation of the police deparatment. A bulletin from a township trustee down in Clay county, Indiana, reports that the total of poor re-1 lief In his bailiwick during his four ! years in office just closing was only S9O. His was a farming township and as a rule the farming townships pull through with less people calling for public aid than the "town townships.” That tendency has been illustrated by poor relief expenditures in Whitley county within the last few years. The question is, do the farmers have more ingenuity and manage to get by in good times or bad much better than the folks who live in town, or do the ne'er-do-wells leave the country districts and drift into town, where the walking distances are nearer and easier than down I the long country road and long I lanes? Any township trustee could probably answer these questions i from an experience of a few years. I Most of them will tell you that the matter of public relief is getting Ito be a more difficult and tiine- ■ taking problem than ten years ago I—not only from the number on relief. but from a changing attitude of many on relief who have driftled into a n attitude that portends | a severe drain on the taxpayers tor many years to come. —Columbia City Commercial Mail. LONG AND COSTLY: Attorney General Wilentz says i the Hauptmann trial is costing the State of New Jersey SI,OOO a day. chiefly in stenographer fees and hotel bills. Half of the allotted i sum of 150,000 had been spent by the twenty-fifth day of the trial, though it is some comfort to think that the proceedings are nearly over. The original appropriation seemed to contemplate a longer affair. Cost of the trial at Flemington does not exhaust the total public expenditure by New Jersey, New York and the Federal authorities. The long quest and the minute preparation that obviously went into the state's case were an expensive business. For instance, Mr. Wilentz is apparently not including the cost of bringing over half a dozen witnesses from Eur- ' ope. I To the lay mjnd it is one more i reason for setting up something : like a time limit in criminal trials. Prosecution and defense should have their innings, but there is no sense in having an interminable j number of innings., if the two | sides were allowed, say, ten days ! apiece, they probably could do just ■as well for themselves as under ■ the present ad lib procedure. The verbatim testimony in the Hauptmann trial offers many instances . where time and words could liave been saved. —New York Tinies. ■ 0 CMARLEy BY CHARLEY cRAAT , 1 Too many benders and a feller's j soon broke. 1 Ho hum, flat tires are useless.
