Nudists flee forest fires —reads a headline. That's a case where an asbestos suit would coine in handy. Italy may change its mind about going to war, the boycott threat probably being a cause of worry. This is not only perfect corn weather, but if it keeps on the lake resorts will have to reopen. A lot of activity in Decatur these days and many improvements are being made in the industrial, residential and up town sections. It's brisk with life and a sure sign that recovery has reached this commuity. National Democratic chairman James A. Farley, after a trip that took him through most populous states of the Union, speaks with knowledge when he says. "No mat ter who the Republicans put in 1936. Roosevelt will beat him.” It would be a wonderful improvement in the downtown district if all the old and unsafe cellar grates' could be removed or changed as many of the property owners are doing now. The cost will never be any less, as all the labor required is furnished by WPA. „ Decatur will haVe a tax rate of S2.SO on the SIOO next year, an increase of 10 cents over the rate payable this year. It is nominal. The extra ten cents, necessary because of the increases in the township poor fund and the city school fund, will produce less than $4,500 for the entire year, based on the city’s net assessable valuation. The-civil city's levy was kept at ■ 40 cents, probably one of the lowest of any town of its size in this part of the state. The building construction record for 1935 has made remarkable progres., since the low levels reached in 1933. The*contemplated expenditures for building during the first eight months of 1935 in 215 cities amounted to $362,972,432, as compared with $235,736,911 in the same period of last year, and $202.297.272 two years ago. when the building industry was at its worst. The improvement over last year is widespread, all sections of the country showing gains, with several states reporting increases of over 109 per cent. The county tax adjustment board has completed the job of reviewing the budgets and adjusting the tax rates. Although there is a lot of interest m taxes and cost of government, the board was not called on by any individual or i group who had any suggestions to make or even offer a protest of the rates propoeed The board cor- - rected several of the budgets and

where mistakes were found, the i totals were adjusted and the savings reflected in the approved rates. The cost of government la going up in most of the townships because of the poor relief needs t and additional charges for trans portation of school children and & purchase of new school trucks. The rates payable next year are t lower than those of five years ago and the total tax bill will be less. , because of the nominal valuation. ) At one time the valuation In this ' county was 60 million dollars, J where today it is a little over 22 ; millions. The whole tax bill is ’ much less, although some higher ' than that paid this year. ROOSEVELTS PHILOSOPHY: The essence of President Roose Veit's philosophy for re-establish-ment of political, economic and social order in the United States i E is summed up by George Creel. Collier's Washington staff writer, who has known the Presidents mind for many years. From Mr. ' Creel's article, "Looking Ahead 1 with Roosevelt." the following excerpts are taken: ( "It is the deep conviction of Franklin D. Roosevelt that the Constitution of the United States was never meant to be a dead hand. ! chilling human aspiration and i blocking humanity's advance, but that the founding fathers conceived It as a living force for the expression of the national will with , respect to national needs." And continuing. Creel writes: "Refusing to dodge realities, he i (Mr. Roosevelt) stands like iron i in his belief that we have come to a stage in the republic's development when unlimited, unrestricted competition must give way to co- ' operation and planned economy substituted for the haphazard, hei- ’ ter skelter, dog eat dog system und-1 - er which America has been living ■ The purpose of a social order as he sees it. is to supply those who live under it with the necessities 1 of existence in abundance, to prot vide work for the strong and willing. to rob old age of its terrors ■ and involuntary unemployment of. its despairs, and, above all, to give 1 such guarantees of social security that men will be able to go to bed at night without wondering miser-1 , ably what will become of them on ; | the morrow.” Such a vision of the responsible ities of a democracy strongly appeal to the masses of freedom-lov-ing Americans. • — — o Answers To Test Questions ! | Below are the answers <o the Test Questions printed on Page Two. - « * 1.
