Tlie House liquor control bill consists of 130 printed pages and to be a dealer in any brand of intoxicants. one will also be required to read up on the law. The legislature has less than 20 days to run and there will be some busy sessions within that time in view of the contemplated passage of the liquor bill, the state NRA and other important measures. An archeologist has discovered i the ruins of an ancient Mayan city and among the valuables found i were a pair of solid gold boots, on the feet of a former warrior. The i old boy must have been a blade in : his day and cared little for the . perplexing gold problem of the present day. A survey lias shown that approx- , imately 40 million dollar's worth of Indianapolis real estate is tax , exempt, because owners have deed- , ed the property to various endow- ( ments or schools, maintaining a ■ life estate in it. The former own- , ers receive the rents and no one | pays any tax. An effort will be , made to correct such practices. ; S J Although it wasn't as much as growers would like, the 6IS acre ( increase in local beet acreage al- ( lottments is appreciated. The ad- ( ditioual acreage brings the quota of the Central Sugar company's ( growers to 10,557 acres for the ( present year. From the increase ( granted, farmers alone will receive ( approximately $50,000 for their beets and from benefit payments, an additional $25,000 being spent for mill labor, trucking and plant ( operations necessary to turn the tons of beets into sugar. ( Benefits from the NRA in rela- 1 tion to practice does not lie putting people in jail, President Roosevelt warns. The President’s paragraph on the spirit of the law, reads. “In tiie development of this legislation 1 call your attentioif to the obvious fact that the way to enforce laws, codes and regulations relating to industrial practices is ' not to seek to put people in jail. We need other and more effective means for the immediate stopping of practices by any individual or by any cooperation which are contrary to these principles." President Roosevelt in his message to Congress asked that the NRA be extended for two more years, following expiration of the present law next June. The President cited some of the benefits realized from the recovery measure, including the abolishment of child labor, the outlawing of the sweatshop and the increasing of wages of employes. "Industry as a whole has also made gains," Mr. Roosevelt pointed out. “It has been freed, in part at least, from dishonorable competition brought about not only by overworking and under paying labor but by destructive business practices.”

Indiana is planning an extensive program of rural electrification, designed to extend electric lines to farms, similar to the TVA plan. In Decatur, this plan is not new. For years the local municipal plant has served hundreds of farms, north, south, east, and west of Decatur and the extension of lines is still going on. Electric current is furnished at the same low basic rate as enjoyed by patrons within the city limits, with the exception that the step-down in the lower brackets does not come as quickly. The Decatur municipal plant lias nearly 600 rural customers, including those served by the Monroe line. AWFUL TOLL OF TRAFFIC: The automobile accident statistics, compiled by the Travelers Insurance Company, show 36,000 people killed and 954.000 injured in this country last year. Those totals are too alarming to be ignorer, particularly as they are a very material increase over previous showings. There was an increase of 16 per cent in the number of fatalities, compared with 1933, most of which was due *to increased carelessness. The increase in automobile registrations was less than 6 per cent and the increase in gasoline sales was only 6 per cent. Those who opposed the repeal of the eighteenth amendment have been convinced that liquor is at the bottom of the increase in automobile accidents. The records show that only 3.16 per cent of drivers involved in accidents had been drinking. That was an increase from 2.43 per cent in 1933, but was only a minor percentage of those who had mishaps. The same records show that 4.47 per cent of pedestrians injured had been drinking, compared with 2.99 iu 1933. The pedestrian, by the way, plays a most tragic part in the automobile accident statistics. Last year 44.3 per cent of those killed by automobiles were on foot, compared with 23.8 riding in those cars. The percentage of injured, however, was 52.8 for those riding in the automobiles and 28.3 for pedestrians. Almost one-third of the fatalities were due to excessive speed on the part of drivers. The largest percentage of injuries resulted from not having the right of way. which, of course, includes those who ignore stop signs and the rules at preferential streets. The laws call for precautions tliat should protect pedestrians, but the results obviously show that the pedestrian is foolish to rely on his own rights. The killing of 15,950 and the injury of 269.980 people who were walking should put the foot passenger on guard. He may be in the right crossing a street or walking along a highway, but his right is a hazardous thing to assert so long as present conditions of reckless driving are permitted to continue. He should join the police in a campaign to enforce safety in the interest of every one. —lndianapolis Star. o tSTARSIGN A L S * By OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.
