Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Plan to buy a Centennial bond for each member of the family. It will help to make it the biggest event of its kind in this part of the country. Elevator boys in New York hotels are on a strike and a lot of the boys who get in late are sleep- ' Ing in the lobby chair rather than walk up forty flights. It looks like a wide breach between Borah and Hoover if we can judge from their public statements. They are as far apart evidently as political opponents can get. State road 101 is to be improved this summer, according to recent announcement, the improvement to be made with WPA labor, this accomplishing the double purpose of providing a tine highway and employment for a number of Adams county men. The sectional basketball tournaments are over and the boys and girls are beginning to*settle down to school business. Os course they will continue to watch with interest the regional and state tournaments and hope that next year they can all be there. Mr. Dawes, former vice-presi-dent, turns his upside-down pipe over and predicts the next two years will be wonderful ones for industry and business which is the kind of statements the G. O. P., politicians don’t like to hear, especially from one of Dawes' standing in politics and business. The liquidation ol the Peoples Loan & Trust Company of this city is nearing the end. With a four per cent distribution to be made the 20th of this month, notice has been given that one more and final dividend will be paid, concluding the important work, which has been well administered. Adams county Democrats will complete a loyal and harmonious organization that will work for the good of the party in and out of season. That's what we have always had in this old "green spot"

and what wo mu»t have thia year, , to properly fight those who would destroy the good work now being done by every one from the lowest official to the highest in coun- ‘ ty, slate and nation. it ” ‘ Mr. Hoover Is to speak at Fort t Wayne soon, indicating that there is really going to be a campaign t in Indiana. We may be wrong but the more the ex-prcsldent talks, 2 the better it will be for the pres--0 ent incumbent of the White House. J He Is ultra conservative and there t) 5 is certainly no way by which this 5 uation can survive another four J years of Hoover at this stage of ) recovery. Distribution of more than a million dollars to employes of the General Electric Company, recently announced by that organization, will bring benefits to more than . two hundred of the Decatur work- • ers. The company has just paid a 25c per share dividend and announces the earnings in 1935 were J the largest in five years. Business 1 is coming back with a boom and we are well on the way to that ( long promised era of prosperity. Notwithstanding the fact that the state administration rightly , desires not to open the legislature for general bills but to conclude i that program necessary to conform with federal requirements, a bill to repeal the state gross income tax law has been introduced , and much “heat" is being put on Senator Gottschalk, chairman of the finance committee, to bold a , public hearing. It is not believed that any headway can be made during the special session on this • business but it will be a hot nura- ■ j ber in the regular meet next Janu- ■ | ary. ■ I How far off the partisan newsr j papers are in their predictions refl garding any thing political is again i demonstrated in the fact that the dire predictions of what would ' hapjwtr in a special session have I fallen flat and Governor McNutt is ' 1 as powerful as ever. They charge I many things but after all the peo-1 i pie are not being fooled. They J realize that Governor McNutt and ’ i his administration have done a great job. that this state is away out in front as compared to others and that we can now join the federal government in their program ' without levying extra taxes. It's a worth while record and those who seek petty matters to discuss ' for the sake of politics will find they are badly out of luck. o | Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the j - Test Questions printed I • on Page Two * I 1.

INDIANA SENATE (CONTINUED FROM provides for levying of taxes for the same purpose for which they are now levied, except that Instead of being placed In the general fund of the county, these levies are placed in a special welfare fund and can be spent for no other purpose. "The cost to countie* now for welfare and relief totals approximately $3,500,000. “Under the estimates made by experts, the bill will provide old age pensions of an average S2O monthly payment fdr 45.000 pensioners Counties now provide meager pensions for 30.000 aged. "The bill also would provide adequate assistance for 1,000 blind persons and for some 20,000 dependent children. The total estimate cost of pensions and other payments under the bill is $3,120,000. "The measure also would relieve counties of the cost of poor relief for eligibles under the bill totaling approximately $1,700,000.
