The oil companies no doubt avoided a lot of complications and j a heap of trouble by pulling out of Ethiopia. Even hogs can’t eat tin cans and broken bottles, so don't fill the garbage pail with a mixture of these indigestible ingredients. Decatur is growing and the num ber of school children registered. on the first day of school proves i that, in the city the enrollment ■ was 66 more than last year. It’s the kind of growth every commun . ity needs. The tonato canning factory is! operating steadily, about 6’> people! being employed. An excellent crop! of tomatoes is being harvested in this section and growers seem well pleased with prospects. The factory should grow into another worth while industry. Miles Roop is the new manager' at the Decatur Homesteads and it will be his job to see that the finishing touches are put on the roads, park area and buildings. He has had much experience along this line and we feel confident that he will please those who named him to the position. Eventually I the Homestead site will be incorporated in the city. The county council did a good job of pruning on the appropriations in the county budget, making it possible to cut the 1936 tax rale, two cents under the rate pay-1 able this year. The estimates were cut about $12,500, making the reduction possible. There will be very little work tor the tax adjustment board to do on this budget, every item being viewed by the county councilmen and every possible reduction made. The suggestion has been made that thr* owners of real estate on Second street take advantage of the WPA sidewalk repair program. In front of many stores there are old fashioned cellar grates. Several are in very poor repair and in a few cases are not safe to walk on. If the grates are removed and new openings made with the modern type coal or cellar chutes, the cement work required can be done with WPA labor, the property owner paying for the material only. The owners can save the difference and at the same time remove a hazard to pedestrians and also improve the looks of the street. Investigate the matter. INDIANA’S TAX MORATORIUM LAW As a result of the taxation acts of the 1935 General Assembly, provision is made for the saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars to tax payers who have been unable to pay tb»ir current taxes during tire past three years of the de-

pression. Since the special sessiAn i of the General Assembly in 1933. the trend has been to give relief to delinquent tax payers by such means as reducing penalties, interest rates and by tax moratorl turns. Many tax payers, however, among them some of the largest in the state, took advantage of these relief laws and allowed their taxes to become delinquent, because penalties were more than the inter- , est allowed. The General Assembly of 1935 took the position that the tax payer entitled to relief had been given sufficient time through the moratorium laws, and that as a result It was proper time to call a halt on moratoriums. Consequently. Chapter 166 of the Acts of 1935 was enacted into law, placing a dead line on moratoriums, and extending the privilege until the first Monday in November. 1935, providing. however, after that date penalties will exceed interest rates, thus eliminating any advantage to the tax payer in permitting his taxes to become delinquent. For example, a tax payer who has permitted his taxes for the years 1931. ’32 and '33 to go delinquent, can pay them any time until Nov. 4, 1935. with a 3 per cent | penalty. As an example, if the delinquent taxes amount to $450. his payment with the 3 per cent penalty would amount to $463.50. If not paid before Nov. 4. 1936. his s payment would total $495, and each year thereafter the penalty will increase $22.50. As a result of this law, several ! large corporations who have perI mitted their taxes to become deI linquent, have notified county I treasurers in the various counties j that they expect to pay the delinqjients this fall, taking advantage lof the 1935 Act. j lu one southern Indiana county la corporation, one of the largest!, | tax payers in the county, has been in receivership since 1932. no taxes have been paid, and the delinquent tax for this corporation now amottfits to approximately 40 thousand dollars. The receiver, howj ever, is taking advantage of the ( I 1935 Act and has made arrangements to pay these delinquent . taxes this fall, saving the stock holders $2,800, which would otherwise accrue in additional penalties. , All real estate upon which de-1 linquent taxes are uncollected will be offered for sale next January, if taxes due in 1935 have not been I paid, or the moratorium plan for taxes due in previous years has * not been take utadvantage of and all installments paid to date. o t STAR SIGNALS* by Octavine • • For persons who believe that humar destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer, tn addition tn information of general interes. it out. tines informatto not special interest to persons horn on the designated SEPTEMBER 6.
