The college commencements have been held ami the country has a new army of youthful leaders, all anxious to demonstrate that world ' problems can be solved. It’s this enthusiasm and viewpoint that eve.« ually does it. How far should a town go in debt in order to participate in the 45 per cent grants of the federaj government on approved work projects? In most cases bond issues will be necessary to provide the! 55 per cent balance required of the! local community. It’s something! for every community to think; about aod to plan accordingly. Huey Long’s fantastic share-your-1 wealth scheme was killed in the Senate without argument or the formality of a roll call vote. It; went down to defeat in a cry of "noes." Anyone with a grain of sense knows Huey's plan wasn't j workable. He must have thought! it up while attending <?:?c of those! Long island parties, following the fifth drink. The Halted States has a larger i per capita wealth than any conn-| try on the globe. Its public debt is also among the lowest of the six ■ leading countries. Wealth is listed al $3,259 and the debt at $243, compared with England's $2,514 wealth and $938 per capita of debt. Japan has the lowest average, but it is stretching a point to compare conditions there with those in this country. Less than $6,000 of the spring installment of taxes went delinquent in this county. The total collected was $205,451 and the bill was for $211,117, or less than three per centi This showing indicates the splendid financial condition in this county and the taxpayer’s eagerness to liquidate his account. The collection of delinquent taxes reduced the total outstanding by about SIO,OOO. After 19 years, it seems that the way is beiifg cleaned for Tom Mooney’s release from San Quentin prison. The California supreme court, through a writ of habeas corpus, put the case up to the at-torney-general of the state and proof must be furnished by that department that Mooney was convicted without prejured testimony. It’s been a notorious case, attracting a lot of attention in recent, years and shows that eventually the criminal “can beat it”, if he keeps hammering away.

General Johnson spoke to the re tail grocers in convention in In dianapolfs the other evening and advised that "Private codes are the only salvation of the little man." When asked how many favt ored private codes and regulations, nearly every person in attendance at the meeting stood up. It seems likely that each clMaiffcation of business will formulate codes and attempt to regulate its own business. Sentiment seems to favor i such a plan, but Its success de- ' pends entirely upon public approval. Fireworks are not to be sold until July 1 aad sale to children under 12 years of age is prohibited, according to rules and regulations issued by the state tire marshal. Until recent years the celebration of the Fourth meant the killing or injuring of hundreds of persons. It was barbaric to a. degree. The crusade for a sate and sane Fourth started a number of years ago and in the past few years the death rate has fallen. Accidents, attribI uted to firecrackers fell according- ' ly. As long as firecrackers are sold, (here will be danger of boys and girls loosing the sight of an eye, a finger or a,rm »r.d it seems a terrible price to pay for we think it an appropriate way to celebrate ; the nation’s Independence. The public is familiar with the common variety of salt baths, with the benefits of salt solutions for head troubles and various other ; uses to which that old standby. ; sodium chloride, may be put. It long lias been acquainted with numerous internal baths, in addition to the traditional Saturday night ablutions. Now comes an- ' nourtcement by elite of the medical I profession that the brain, heretoj fore allowed to accumulate dust I and ideas without interruption of 'any cleansing ageeicy, can be profi- ; ably laved. This development was announced at the joint meeting of I the American Medical Association land the Canadian MedicaJ Association. A plain salt solution was I the medium for the brain wash, alphough the physicians emphasized hat method was more important than the "medicine.” The solution is injected into a vein and at the same time a hollow needle is inserted into the spinal cord to draw ; off liquid. The salt water washes |out inflamed material in the brain, ft has cured cases of infantile paralysis.

GROSS INCOME FORMS MAILED State Gross Income Tax Is Pavable July 1 To ’ July 15 Indianapolis. June 20. — Nearly 200.000 return forms on which Indiana gross Income tax payers will report for the second quarter of ; 1935 have been mailed to state auto - license branches, according to | Clarence A. Jackson, director of the gross income tax division. Service at the 141 license branches during the July taxpaying period, which extends from July 1 to 15, will be supplemented by 270 additional distribution points for, return forms established by thej tax division in co-operation with the branch managers. Taxpayers tiling returns in July,; Mr. Jackson said, will fall into two classifications, as folloAvs: (1) Those who tiled returns and paid tax for the first quarter of i 1935. who will file returns next month only for the second quarter. (2) Those who did not tile re- j turns for the first quarter, who I will file returns for the six-month period from January to June, inclusive. Exemption which may be deduct-1 ed from income for the quarterly; period is $250 and for the sixmonfiT period SSOO. Although the law permits persons owing less than $lO tax for a quartet to tile only annual returns, many thousands of smaller taxpayers are ex-' pected to file in July. "The July period in 1934 was the largest quarterly period of the; year,” Mr. Jackson said, “because of the great nnmher of tax payers who prefer to file quarterly or semiannually rather than pay their entire tax at the end of the year." Payments made in July, it was pointed out, will be available for distribution, to schools January 1, which payments made with annual returns can not be distributed until July 1. 1936. the next date set by law Jor making distributions. . o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File June 20, 1915. was Sunday.

Kruschen Salts is one safe reducing treatment —it’s a health treatment —physicians prescribe it —just take a half teaspoonful in a cup of hot water first thing every morning—tastes fine with juice of half lemon added —a jar lasts 4 weeks and costo but a few cents —any drugstore.
