Note that practically every independent newspaper Ju the country is supporting President Roosevelt and his administration. Those who persist in using their 1935 automobile plates are taking quite a chance tor state police have been ordered to arrest violators of the law. With two months of winter ahead there is no doubt we will have plenty of severe weather, but we are thankful that so fur, it has not been unpleasant. Candidates for governor in Indiana should bear in mind that the voters are more interested in what' they stand for than what they think of their opponents. Colonel Bill Klepper is the new-1 est-uddiUoa u- ts stall of Governor Happy Chandler of Kentucky, and never fear, will wear the gold braid with dignity, honor and I courage. Your state gross income tax must be puicl this month and your federal income tax must be reported by March 15th, so you will have i something to do in your idle mo- j ments in getting these out. Wise folks who wish to keep ’ their bones and bodies whole or' who wish to keep their automobiles looking and operating well, will use more than ordinary care when passing over the slippery walks and roads. i The steel mills are now employ-! iug twice as many people as a 1 year ago, which perhaps ought to | be taken into consideration by those opposed to the ways and means by which this era of prosperity was obtained. Jim Adams and the state highway commission have mapped out a big program for the coming year, in which every county in the state will benefit. We have a right to be proud of our highway system and much credit is due the men! who have so splendidly conducted the work. Expressions as to the. recent address to congress by President Roosevelt are interesting only in the manner of stating for so far we have not been surprised at any of them. Partisans say just what we expected, but so far there has been little genuine criticism of the great President's remarks. The merchant who reduces his newspaper advertising is taking a backward step ami should expect a smaller volume and by the same rule the one who increases his space is sure to notice a decided gain. That has been proven a million times in American business history and will so continue.

President Roosevelt in his fearless and able message to congress, disclosed that he has a careful eye on world and national affairs and that none of the smooth ones, either in war, politics or business are. putting any thing over on him. He is continuing his tight for the people and will merit the support that will be given him all along the line. Governor McNutt is wise in his 1 policy that state employes who desire to run for office, should re-| sign and that is- particularly true when they hold positions in which there is patronage to distribute. The dissensions apparent the past week ure not helpful to the jXrty and all concerned should put the good of their party and its principles above self. Hon. Albert Stump will be the speaker at the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and those who hear him on the very I important subject of taxation on 1 January 15th will profit by doing i so. The program should be one j to attract a standing room only ' crowd at the Masonic temple ; where the event is scheduled for, six o'clock. Get your tickets at once. Clifford Townsend, lieutenantgovernor. w ill address a political, i meeting in his home city, Marion, Wednesday evening, at which time ' his friends are expected to announce his candidacy for the nomii nation for governor. An official | of high standing and excellent record. a citizen whose counsel has long been valued, an experienced man in numerous fields and a speaker of unusual attainments, he i will prove an outstanding contend- | er for the Democratic honor. — (j Answers To Test Questions ; .

In spite of the sweeping nature of the decision agriculture department officials clung to hope that some substitue measure might be involved. They had been prepared, at least partially, for such a ruling and had been studying substitutes for weeks. New taxes will be sought to replace the processing levies. A drive for constitutional amendment to permit such a form of control may be launched. This, however. would take many weeks. Hits Control The decision served to strike down processing' taxes on wheat,

The decision was considered the most important in political significance since the Civil war. Briefs and arguments submitted during consideration of the case showed the deepest sort of cleavage between the industrial attackers and farm defenders of AAA. i Reverberations over the court's decision were expected to sound ' furiously through the coming politI ical campaigns. The issue of a constitutional ■ amendment was regarded as an l almost inevitable outcome, alI though the exact form it would , take was uncertain. ; The court's division on the case 1 was announced as six to three, , i with Roberts writing and reading thte opinion of the majority group.
