modified system of regulation, inteuded to best serve the country as a whole. It it wasn’t for the 20 to 30year payments that follow spending money for public Improvements, it would be a great thing for municipalities to launch a big program. Towns that have been able to pay their debts, reduce taxes and still serve the wants of the public are the ones showing progress now. Decatur is among the topnotehers. Persons who kick on paying the processing tax on wheat, hogs and! cotton are opposed to the protective tariff. A processing tax is the purest kind of tariff, in that no part of it is hidden and all of it goes to the producer. The tax on muslin, for instance, amounts to two cents a yard on a 10-cent grade. On pork it is 52.25 per hundred pounds and on wheat it is 30 cents a bushel. It amounts to a tariff of about 25 per cent, which is extremely low for a tariff. No objection is made to paying over 50 per cent on every piece of tinware or ■ aluminumware you buy, or on carpets and rugs and a hundred other articles of daily consumption for many years past. You pay the tariff and do not Know it, while you pay the lower processing tax and know to a penny what it is. There is not the slightest difference in principle in the tariff and the processing tax. Both are collected from the consumer and given to the producer. It is am old saying that what you don’t know, Idon’t hurt you. You pay a tariff I twice as high as a processing tax ! and never kick because we don’t know it. Articles of which we pro- . duce a surplus cannot be protected by a tariff. ,so the processing : tax is used and costs the consumer | i less. — The New Castle CourierI Times. , THE GOAL AHEAD: President Roosevelt, with his characteristic simplicity has defined the social objectives of his 1 administration to be identically the | same purposes and aspirations that motivated the authors of the con- ; stitution and the Declaration of In- ’ dependence. His statement makes 1 the utterances of grass-rooters I sound hallow, vain and mere mockery. In an off-hand reply to a news- , paper correspondent’s question, the President revealed that his objectives are ever in mind. He said: “The social objectives. I should say, remains just what it was, which is to do what any honest government of any country would do; to try to increase the security and happiness of a larger I number of people in all occupations of life and in all parts of the country; to give them more good things of life; to give them a greater distribution, not only of wealth in the narrow terms but of wealth in the wider terms; to give them places to go in the summer time — recreation; to give the massurance that they are not going to starve in their old age; to give honest business a chance to go ahead and make a reasonable profit, and to give every one a chance to earn a living.” The American people are proud to know they have a President whose eyes axe never closed to the goal he seeks. Politicians may strive to invent campaign issues, but they cannot distort the American objective as defined by Mr. Roosevelt. —o ♦ « Household Scrapbook by ROBERTA LEE Washing Black Materials When washing a black garment do not apply soap directly to it, but wash it in suds of a reliable soap, and barely warm enough to cut the grease.

The spots, any one many times larger than the earth, have been more or less dormant for several years, but past records, over a long period of years, show they are due for a , period of exceptional activity.

( • * ' State Library (Editor's note: The following ' article has been prepared by the Indiana state library, which wishes ' to complete its files of Indiana history up to 1850. Adams county residents interested are asked to read the following story careful>r> Before leng, our state will cele- ' brate the one hundred and twentieth anniversary of Indiana statehood. Much waler has gone over the dam since Indiana became a member in the union of these United States of America. The men and women of that day w-ho have built this state have long since joined the "Caravan of Time.” The least we can do is to honor those who preceded us, and who made it possible for ns to be here, and to enjoy the things we have. We can best accomplish that by preserving the deeds which they have done, dnd the principles for which they have stood. More than seven scores of years of Indiana histwy have passed. Much has been done by the generations of men and women who inhabited this state for that period. Much was good; some was wise (who can say that all was wise); and some, by fate, was destined to be tragic. But one thing we are certain —all of it was part ivf that composite which we call “Life.” The Archives Division of the State Library is now engaged in the task of preserving those old records that tell that story; the story eff the founding of the state and its history up to now. Every county must realize that it, as a political unit of our state government, has played an important role in the making of the state, and, consequently, has a local history. It must do all it can in providing space and facilities for the preservation -M their local records in a fireproof room in the county court house. But yet there are those records which strictly speaking are not local records, but do reflect state and national history as well. The Archives Division in the State Library has many collections of such public records. We are particularly anxious to complete our files of Indiana history up to 1850. if any reader has any official document bearing some | CORT Tonight - Thursday Out of the night came the Man of Mystery—On his trail went the news-hound—and when they come to grips— ACTION • SUSPENSE - THRILLS “THE MYSTERY MAN” Robert Armstrong - Maxine Doyle. - ADDED ATTRACTIONS - Joe Penner “WHERE MEN ARE MEN” and "BILLY HILL” a Musical Novelty. 10c • 15c Sun.

historical data for that Period, we would be happy to receive them and add them to our present already aplendid collecUan. We are also anxious to receive such records as letters, commissions, appointmeuU. communications and general correspondence of our past governors. We kiuw that there are many citizens throughout the state who have in their possession such correspondence of our past governors. These letters when received will be filed with our files of "Correspondence of Past Governors.” Such letters in private hands are accessible only to that person who is in possession of them, and are most always in danger of destruction by fire, flood, etc. Tile Archives Division of the State Library in its new building has fireproof vaults, dustproof containers for the storing of such records. We are now completing our original files for the Civil War period. Our records show tliat 214.000 men of Indiana have served as soldiers in that war of the North against the South. The figures are significant because they snow that more than one out of ten persons served in the army. We are endeavoring to keep these flits so tlial the names and records ot inese men wK> have served their state and nation so valiantly in that great war should be preserved as a living document for posterity. The Archives Division of the State Library calls upon the citizenry of Indiana to help in pre serving the history’ of their state.
