A California man was arrested * Tor speeding in the car formerly •“TtwimW by John Dillinger. He pur- ' chased the auto at sheriff’s sale ’ and probably got the notoriety he was looking for. John D. Rockefeller, at 96, knew • how to celebrate Ms birthday. His companion was a four-year-old daughter of one of his chauffeurs. The little tot no doubt made the aged capitalist and philanthropist smile-during the day. Another happy crowd visited Decatur Saturday night. The parking lot'was filled and hundreds of cars were parked along the streets. _ Police officers cooperated in every way to make visitors feel at home and merchants were happy with the visits to their stores. Come again this week. The first allotment of federal « funds for carrying on public work , has been announced from Wash- ~ ington. If communities are able “ to match Ihe financial outlays many ' of the projects will be started immediately, giving employment to

thousands of men. Rea! work should be underway in another 30 to 60 days. - Two years ago the howl was made that the gross income tax ” w-as driving business from Indiana. Z Now that Ohio, Illinois and Michi- • gan have a three per cent sales tax, those in the neighboring states - are claiming that trade is going - across lhe state line. The sales - tax.ipay be the most simple meth- - od of taxation, but under the gross • income tax the entire burden is - not placed on the consumer. Taxpayers also have the advajitage of - the thousand-do'lar exemption. — —— Adams county property nas an * assessed value of $19,152,699, exclusive of the state’s assessments -of railroads, pipe lines and other - utilities. The variation this year T of personal property is about a ~ half million dollars more than a

“ year ago. indicating higher market - values aJI around. After the state ■L assessments are added, it is not likely that any of the 12 townships “ 'n the county will have a net under one million dollars.

Rumor also has it that the Wayne Knitting Mills may be moved to the home plant at Minneapolis. Such are the community losses from strikes. Fomented by outsiders, the employes we deprived of jobs, the town loses* a taxpayer, houses become vacant and in the end no one gains. It’s better to work together, talk matters over with the management and both sides give and take in reaching peaceful agreements. BALANCE TELLS STORY: Indiana closed its fiscal year last midnight, June 30, 1935, with a fat money balance in its general fund of the state treasury. The balance of money in the state treasury for the general fund is $9,250,000. The present balance is $3,500,000 greater than that for the end of the 1934 fiscal year. It is $6,200,000 greater than for the 1932 fiscal year under Republican rule. The good financial condition of the state at the end of the second full fiscal year of t>!s administration is due to the efficient, honest leadership of Gov. Paul V. McNutt, ills management has given Indiana high credit and standing throughout the nation. Gov. McNutt lias introduced business efficiency and economy into affairs of this state. Better official government at less cost is the rule which has brought about these desirable conditions of public affairs. A notable example of increased efficiency at reduced cost is provided in the governor’s action in consolidating the number of state boards and commissions from 169 to eight major departments of government. Overlapping functions of state government were eliminated, useless jobs were thrown out, many diwisions of government were contracted into simpler and more sound units. New laws reformed many obsolete official practices, to the end that Indiana has been entirely made over and is a

model of government of other states. Under the direction and advice of Gov. McNutt. Indiana how has the most efficient and most economical government of its modern history. Criticism not withstanding, the accurate test of governmental success lies in results obtained, and in the present case Indiana has $9,250,000 in -its general fund. —The Anderson Bulletin. o *STAR SIGN ALsI by OCTAVINE

Bj» /Hterwrttonat Illustrated New GENEVA.—If Italy makes war upon Ethiopia, and Mussolini now has gone far wittf'-.hls preparations toward such a step, the balance of power in Europe may be undermined. At the same time, an Italian break with the League of Nations over an African expedition may unloose a chain of events that would ultimately lead to other grave consequences. In determining their policy toward the impending Italo-Ethiopian question, the members of the League have to consider several possibilities. These, observers say. center on three Inevitable consequences should Italy declare war on Ethiopia. * These three possibilities are: Italy may win easily . and thereby gain ( military power and prestige for Mussolini; Italy may meet disaster, or Italy may become involved .In »

This, however, would follow only It Ethiopia keeps her promise to abide by arbitration and League decisions. Great Britain and France are in a “hot spot" in the controversy. If both should condone Italy’s entrance into a war in Africa, or encourage such action, both might thereby weaken their positions morally and strategically. • France, the power which is the virtual “big sister” to Ethiopia, having insisted on the League admitting her in 1923 as a member, faces a difficult task, yne requiring care and discretion.

the key to the whole situation. He must reckon with Innumerable factors both pro and con in the delicate drama. And two of these factors, largely psychological, may Influence him to "back down” In the near future. « One factor, it is "pointed out, is the current diplomatic assumption that Italy, because of her weak geographical position and her lack of raw materials, must always give in to Britain If that power should insist strongly enough. The other is the assumption that the Italians are such poor soldiers that war with Ethiopia would only result in disaster to Italy. It may be that Great Britain may exert enough Influence on Ethiopia to stop the whole proceedings. This, It is believed, would involve bringing enough pressure upon the African pdwer to force her to make »reat economic concessions to Italy.
