Live by the i gun, you die by the gun and the mobsters are finding that out. I j President Roosevelt’s new hous- > Ing plan will be of great benefit to ‘ those who wish to build or acquire . a home. It is proposed to loan I money to prospective builders at ' low interest rates and up to 90 per cent of the value ot the property. The plan should stimulate building throughout the country. America needs better homes and better homes make for a happier and beti ter nation. The matter of township consolii dation should be decided by the local communities. If a bill is passed which permits small townships to consolidate if they want to, it would not be out of order to let them express their choice. No doubt there will he many changes in government in the next decade and the expens- of operating small governmental units may be a deciding factor iu consolidation by those who must make up the bill. Some things can be eliminated without destroy tug the advantages ! of home rule. Congress may investigate the running of the Townsend old age pension clubs. The suggestion has been made that a report be given of the membership fees and other , funds raised by the club's spon- ■ sors in the several states. Not , many will object to pay ing of reasonable pensions, but the Townsend plan is too silly to believe. A militant organization is carrying on the campaign, many are drawing big salaries ami it does look that even if the worthy and the old aged never see the S2OO a month, that those who are running the outfit will not lose anything. Such arc the schemes to get-rich in this country. Many people thought Governor Chandler had a good idea down in I Kentucky when he recommeudcd i io his legislature that they secure advance information from the Supreme Court of that state when they were in doubt about any of ' the laws they proposed to pass. ' So the so-called “advisory opinions act" because a law and the General Assembly appealed to the court to find out if a bill to lift ail state levies from real estate would be constitutional "We are sorry we can't give you an opinion on the matter," said the court, using, of course, language phrased in more judicial terms: “we have decided that the ‘advisory opinions act’ is in itself unconstitutional.” Now. : what is a bewildered legislature I going to do in a case like that?— i Indiana Farmers’ Guide. | M, A Answers To Test Questions | Below are the answers to the t Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.
