Recent discussions in Washington and by veterans’ organizations of the idea to take protit out of war and to conscript wealth as well as men the next time the nation's flag goes into battle smoke is not a new one. according to Lew M. O'Battion, editor of The Corydon Democrat. He writes: “The last Samuel M. Ralston whe:> he was United States senator from Indiana twelve years ago, made an address in the senate advocating the

principles in this measure. His speech attracted nation-wide alten tiou us being a new idea." Col. Frank Knbx, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, has attained prominence in Republican circles by outlining a program for rehabilitation of the Republican party. Judging by the Chicago election Col. Frank would do very well to pay attention to his own back yard, and outline a policy for what few Republicans there are left in Chicago, rather than trying to tell the rest of the nation, via Republican propaganda, what it should do. — Columbia City Post. The Federal Bureau of Internal Revenue has announced that March collections of Federal income taxes in Indiana for the year 1934 were 57% higher than federal income collections in March. 1933. Indiana's gross income tax division reports collections at the end of 1934 which show from 11 to 27% improvement in business. Department stores incomes were 14% higher in 1934 than in 1933; wholesale concerns had a gain of 21%; manufacturing concerns, particularly those producing automotive products, had an increase of 27% in gross incomes. These facts certainly answer clearly President Roosevelt's question: ‘‘Are you better off than you were a year ago?” THUMBS DOWN ON MORE HOLIDAYS: President Roosevelt acted wisely when he vetoed a bill to have Oct. 11 of each year proclaimed as a memorial day to Gen. Casimir Pulaski, a Revolutionary War hero. It is no reflection on Gen. Pulaski or I tlie services that great Polish leader rendered to this country to say that he is not entitled to hare a holiday in honor of his birthday. There were many others in the Revolutionary War who might be honored with usual propriety. Gen. Lafayette on Sept. 6, Thaddeus Kosciuszko on Oct. 15 and Baron Steuben on Nov. 15. for example. Washington is the only hero whose birthday anniversary is observed nationally. Some states

honor Lincoln and Columbus, but the birthdays of those two arc not national holidays. Another thing that might be taken into consideration in connection with the Pulaski proposal is that Oct. 12, Columbus day, is a holiday in Indiana and several other states. If the President had signed the Pulaski bill we would have had two holidays in succession, which would be too much of a good thing. There is no reasou-for setting , aside days of the year as holidays in honor of national heroes. We already have New Years. Washington's birthday, Memorial day. Independence day, Ijabor day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, in addition to days designated by action of tint , various states. Auding to the number serves to diminish the significance of all holidays. The Fresh ■ dent did well to turn thumbs down on those who urged that special consideration be given to the mem- : ory of Gen. Pulaski.—lndianapolis i Star. o ♦~fWENTY~YEARS * AGO TODAY I From the Daily Democrat File ♦ —_♦ April 17—Fred Schafer contract to add third story to his new building to be leased by Masonic J lodge. ■ .1 lin Brodie <k. 61. injured when Im is struck and run over by truck in front, of this office.

April 17— (U.K) — President Roosevelt today reported rapid progress in the administration of his $4,880,000,000 worksrelief program. Mr. Roosevelt, who with his j aides, haw been steadily carrying forward the plans for spending'he unprecedented sum to relieve unemployment, revealed that the setup would encompass two major features. Those features will be: 1. Allocation of funds, the final analysis resting with the President. 2. Carrying out of those functions after study in round table discussion. The President, speaking of allocations. said that the round table discussions would ho by all agencies of the government that will I deal with work-relief and that consideration will be given the email project where it is meritorious as well as the large one. The objective is a simple one, he explained, as the administration wishes a fair hearing for every possible method of work-

He described the round table | , conference as a clearing house for , all projects and announced that : ptobably w ithin the next four or | live days he would be able to give further information as to the actual set-up. Meanwhile, the President re-, i vealed that as one of the s’eps toward employing the jobless white collar workens, an admittedly difficult task, ihe government had under consideration the plan of employing them in the taking of a complete census of the unemployed. Presen figures, he indicated, were too loose and that classification of the jobless was necessary to bring the program to l maximum efficiency. He added. I however, that no date had yet been set for the census taking j nor a time limit fixed for it. • ■ o—■ ■ —— «- ♦ Answers To Test Questions Be>ow are the answer* to the | Test Questions printed on Page Two. —-j ' « • 1.
