President Roosevelt with all his worries and an unruly senate, can look at ease while out sleigh riding. Babe Ruth is going with the Boston Braves at a reputed salary of $25,000 a year. That will change some of the younger generation from rooters for the Yankees to the Braves. It was Cromwell who was Lord high protector of England, but Jimmy Cromwell, husband of Doris Duke and guardian of her hundred million would not change places with the statesman. Indiana will not have a parimutuel betting bill, the house voting 46 to 50 against its passage. Il would have permitted betting on horse races, the state receiving a share of the wagers, but it’s probably just as well that it didn't become a law. Kentucky has passed a compulsory state-wide primary bill for all state officers. It seems that sentiment has changed a lot in regards to the question of repealing or adopting state primary laws, the voter in the long run desiring to have liis say in the selection of public officials. The construction of the fertilizer plant continues at the Central Sugar Company and plans are going forward to have it operating by the middle of the month. The layout of new buildings and improvements in the yards is a treat for tired eyes and the whole place bhzzes with activity. Mayor Kelly should not have much trouble being elected mayor of Chicago. He received several times more votes than all the Democratic and Republican candidates pul together. The Republican nominee is little known and it seems that the Windy City has gone strong for the world’s fair mayor. William I’. McCracken. Jr., secretary of the American Bar Association and assistant secretary of Commerce in the Hoover administration, will serve his 10-day jail sentence for contempt against tho United States senate. He still maintains his innocence, but rather than continue Hie fight to keep out of jail, decided to get it over with. Few sentences Imposed by the senate arc ever suspended or evaded. The budget bill is now law. Governor McNutt signing the measure, which legalizes all appropriations made by the legislature. The $50,000,000 is for two year’s running expenses of the state and includes the budgeting of state gas and auto taxes, gross income and othei special taxes which, are collected oy the state and then returned tc

the counties, schools and cities, i About halt of the amount is for the biennial expenses of the state government. 1 = rs T The free text book law probably will not satisfy everybody. The t measure, which was signed by the governor, authorizes local school t corporations, upon petition of 51 per cent of (he voters in the taxt ing unit, to establish school book libraries. The original bill provid 2 ed that pupils of any school, pubI* lie, parochial or private, can use ® the books, returning them at the ' end of the semester. It was one 5 of several similar bills introduced 3 In the legislature. j — PWA LOAN FOR 1. U. All the preliminary details seem to have been completed for grant of $400,000 by the Public Works Administration for construction of an administration building at Indiana University. The government is reported to have made the first overtures to the institution’s officials. Under terms of the proposal • the Federal authorities will make ’ an outright grant of $120,000, with 1 the remainder extended as a loan. The procedure specified by PW A agencies required enactment of a measure by the Legislature permit- ' ting the university trustees to apply for the loan. This act was signed recently by Governor McNutt and submitted to the PWA at t Washington. Federal approval will mean that the university may now j proceed to discuss building plans with architects. ' A site for the new structure has not been named, although it is believed that the administration building will replace the wooden Assembly hall. That building is a fire hazard. It has been the wish : • I of many 1. U. students that some I notable athletic victory might be “properly" celebrated by firing the inflammable structure. Campus watchmen will be thankful if that worry is removed. The university needs an administration building i and, thq Federal grant will offset in part the deferment of the building program decreed by the Legislature. —Indianapolis Star. o—*STA RS IG NAL S * By OCTAVINE . t -4 ’ For persons who believe that hu- ’ man destiny is guided by the planets . the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer, tn addition to in- , formation of general interest, it outlines Information of special interest > to persons born on the designated MARCH 1. !

It will not be used If you prefer that It not be. Editor of Daily Democrat: Today the trustees and county superintendent of some counties are flocking to Indianapolis to attempt a defeat of the bill for the County unit. Should that not be an eye opener for the tax payers of Indiana? 1 wonder how many people of the state have ever read the bill and what It would do for the state. Have the knockers ever stopped to think or figure the number of trustees we have in Indiana, the salaries they draw, and the county superintendent and their salaries? No wonder the poor are getting poorer, the way things are done in Indiana. We now have a governor who stands for better ways to do things. If the men in our legislature are the kind of men they should be and know the conditions of the rural country and schools they will tell those officeholders to go way back and sit down. Our legislators should know that the old trustee system has outlived its time. When we had mud roads anti teachers were compelled to walk or go on horseback to trustees. the teachers usually residing in the township, the division of countie* into smaller units was necessary. In those days the little one-room rural schools were filled with children. Many young people of the country would go to school until they were eighteen ad 20 years of age. There were no high schools then for the rural children. Some high school branches were taught to the older pupils, the teacher giving extra time free gratis. The schools were crowded. Now take a look at conditions today. Many changes have taken place in the last twenty and thirty years. We now have good roads. I high schools within reache of every child, school busses, autdmobiles. telephones, electricity, near our doors factories to draw young people from the country, families who desired better schools for their children, all has had its effect on the rural school Then we had fifty and sixty children in very - —■ - - Last Time Tonight - (Sponsored by The KINGS' HERALDS Society) “WEDNESDAY’S CHILD” with Edward Arnold, Karen Morley, Frankie Thomas.
