Most any kind of a tax is unpopular if a person wants to growl and a sales tax would not be any more popular than a gross income tax. If England, France, Italy.

Germany is not to engage • in a war and if sanctions are applied against the country, Hitler will have to make a swing about. The GOO or more persons to take part in the great historical pageant will be local people, the committee engaging the artists from the John B. Rogers Producing Company to direct the spectacle. The company will also furnish the costumes and stage settings. The I pageant wili be free to the thousands who wish to witness it. The social security and public welfare bill is proceeding through the legislature and after a few amendments are made, it will pass. The bill is being studied by the members and the final draft will more than likely bring forth a workable and progressive piece of legislation. Work will start on the beautification of the roadway along U. S. road 527. southeast of Decatur. Several hundred shade trees will be planted, together with several thousand shrubs. In a few years it will be an avenue of beauty, linking Indiana with Ohio, the gateway to the east or west or to the north and south. A bill has been introduced in the legislature to license automobiles on a fiscal, instead of the present calendar year basis. Such a law would mix up things in great style. It would be impossible to check them and every fellow would claim his license had not expired. If a change is desired, it would be of greater service to license cars in half year periods, with different colored plates for the first and last half of the year. > BIG TEN CO-CHAMPIONS: Indiana, where basketball is supposed io attain a distinction all its own — along with literature, fried chicken, roastin’ cars and hospitality—views with satisfaction the Big Ten net honors of Indiana and Purdue. Each won eleven games and lost only one. while the nearest contenders, Illinois, Northwestern and Michigan, were in a threeway tie with only seven victories in twelve contests. Each of the two Hoosier univer ities probably would be happier in first place "were the other dear charmer

away.” The state’s fans, however, arc well satisfied with the triumph of their representatives iu the Western Conference. The race demonstrated anew the superiority ot' Hoosier basketball. Other states produce stellar players. such as Haariow of Chicago, who set an all-time scoring record for his three years of varsity competition; Whltlinger ot Ohio State and others. The Hoosier teams were home products and their combined scoring and defensive ability clearly surpassed the best which competing quintets could offer. Some among the best players in at least two of the three thirdplace teams were Imported from Indiana. The fans still are discussing what might have been if Purdue and Indiana had met in the Olympic elimination round in the Butler fieldhouse. Only one thing is certain—that structure would have been packed as tightly with delirious rooters as at afiy high school tournament. The competition of the two Hoosier universities will be resumed next season, when facilities again will be far too limited for those desirous of witnessing these speedy aggregations. The firm conviction that either is the peer of any other college team in the United States produces some regret that neither will represent the nation in the Olympic competition at Berlin. That, of course, enters once more the field of conjecture. Let it suffice that Hoosierdom's stars established so ‘ definitely their superiority over the best of high grade Conference rivals. —Indianapolis Star. o * Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE Q.

Mar. 11. —(U.P.)— Dr. John F. iFasie) Condone. the eccentric Bronx schoolteacher who handled the ransom r negotiations in the Lindbergh j baby kidnaping case, was en route . to New York today, having sailed , suddenly on the liner Santa Inez last night. His leaving coincided with a* visit here by Andrew K. Dutch, New Jersey state motor vehicle inspector. . When Dutche left New York it was reported that he intended to interview Dr. Condon for Governor Harold G. Hoffman, who has been active in behalf of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, condemned murder of Charles A. Lindbergh. Jr. Both Dutch and Hoffman denied the report, although Hoffman consistently has questioned discrepancies in the stories told by Dr. Condon before, during, and after Hauptmann's trial at Flemington, N. J. Dutch, on a Caribbean cruise, arrived here this morning Dr. Condon, vacationing in the Canal Zone with his daughter, Mrs. Myra Hacker, had said recently that his stay here would be indefinite. Mysterious, too. was Dr. Condon's departure for Panama. He sailed suddenly from Brooklyn just before Hauptmann was scheduled to be executed in the middle of January. A reprieve by Governor Hoffman saved Hauptmann then.

SENATE GROUP OPPOSES COURT , Lobby Committee Opposes Injunction Against Probe Efforts Washington, Mar. 11 — (U.R) — Attorneys for the senate lobby committee, fighting an effort to block their subpoena of telegrams, warned District of Columbia su-1 preme court today that contempt of the senate proceedings might result from refusal to comply with a committee subpoena. In answer to a charge that the committee’s effort to subpoena telegrams from the Western Union Telegraph Co. was nneonstitu-, tional, committee counsel told i Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat of i the district court tnat a "conflict j over jurisdiction” with the senate was threatened by the proceed-' ings. t'rajnpton Harris of Birmingham. Ala., former law partner of committee chairman Hugo L. [Black. D„ Ala., counsel for the committee, told the court the senate group would fight any injunction that might bo granlctj to restrain the telegraph company from turning over certain telegrams* to the lobby inv obligators. 1 He declared that in the event the senate "should form a differ1 ent opinion than that adopted by 1 this court, it might insist on ord- ' ering the defendant to do the very 1 thing which this court had enjoinJ ,ed the defendant from doing." "Such a conflict should be 1 avoided if possible,” he said. Earlier, Frank J- Hogan, counsel

for the Chicago law firm of Winston. Strawn & Shaw, seeking an injunction, had charged that the committee was violating the rights of private citizens and that congress had no power to uphold the committee’s subpoena action. BACHELOR KING 5 HINTS MARRIAGE King Edward VIII Os I England Speaks Os Wedding Possibility London. Mar. 11— (U.R) —King Edward Alli. Britain’s 41-yeaj- old bachelor king, informed the house of commons today that there is a ..possibility he may get married. ' The news was contained in a •message from the king, asking ■ commons to renew the civil list, which provides funds for the royal • household and family, and is set | by commons at the start of each sovereign's reign. Well-informed persons said the Greek princess Eugenie, cousin of princess Marina, wife of the king's brother, Prince George, would be ' the most probable choice if the ■ | king marries. In his message the king said; "His majesty desires that the - contingency of his marriage should be taken into account so t that in that event, there should . be provision for her majesty the y queen and the members of hie . majesty’s family corresponding tc y the provisions which the house ol commons has been willing U make In like circumstances in th< e past.” In the above reference to "ht jl majesty's family,” the king evi

dently was referring to the possibility of hl» bavitig children. A reference to "as long a’ the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall nro vested lu himself" had a similar meaning, because a eon king automatically at birth would become Duke of Cornwall, although he would have to be specially created Prince of Wales. The message (began: "The dentiee ot the crown renders it necessary that renewed provision should be made for the civil list. His majesty plawcs unreservedly at iho disposal ot the house of commons those hereditary revenue* which were »o placed by his predecessor, and has commanded that papers necessary for the full consideration of thut subject shall be laid before the house.” He then referred to the pos*lbility of his marriage.
