One of the squawks against the proposed new federal tax bill i comes from foreign corporations, I who will be forced to pay heavier i levies than those of American ownership. The same was true when the present administration enforced the 1928 revenue law which collected some $73,000,000 from those who lived in other countries, but. were taking big profits out of the American stock markets.

B I - I- — There is activity in Decatur. Within two blocks of the business district a new 50 by 20 foot, twostory apartment garage and a filling station are being built. At another corner a house is being razI ed to make room. for a new one. ■At the Homestead site, a crew of ■ 1 10 men are working, repainting the' interior of the houses and making ' necessary repairs. Other work is , being planned by individual and business concerns and it appears the summer will be the busiest ever enjoyed here. Solution of the driving problem might lie in the hand of youth and safety courses may be taught successfully in schools, but as long as j older folk violate the traffic laws.

One out of every three chil ■ dren faces the probability of death or maiming from motor accidents iin the course of a lifetime. It would be wonderful if youth showled the way. Dr. Patterson, local chairman for [ the pageant which will be staged J | here during the Centennial ceieI bration next August, has called a I meeting of all the committees for 1 next Monday night at the city hall. The members are urged to attend. There is much work to do between now and the time of presenting one of the most interesting, inspiring and historical shows ever attemptled here. A cast of more than 600 I people, including a couple hundred children will participate, •so you sec it will be a job, not only to teach and direct the actors, but 1 to obtain suitable grounds, selec- , tion of the talent, music and a hundred other duties which go to 1 make the event successful. The municipal light and water piant belongs to the people and during the years many advantages have come to the city through its ownership. Volumne of business, together with efficient management, has enabled the council to reduce the rates for electricity for cooking purposes to a low minimum. The Decatur rates are among the lowest in the state for this class of service. In addition, the electric light department docs not make a charge for installing the stoves when purchased through local dialers. Electricity us being more generally used every day and in the case of Decatur, patrons are receiving benefits through low rates and good Service from their own plant. Governor Horner didn't take a licking as was first predicted, btrt came out first in the Illinois primary election. He cut down the big leads in Chicago with a he’avy vote downstatc and is expected to win'- by 100,000 plurality.
