We ll take a sun tan color. — If Landon's claim for the presidency lies in the fact that he balanced the state budget, he'll find his feat equalled in a majority of Indiana cities. Most towns are operating within their budget and on less money than was raised four years ago. Postmaster barley is taking a leave of absence from the cabinet to devote all his time to the presidential campaign. He is the type man who doesn’t monkey with his job and never quits until the ballots are counted. He will lead his party to victory again. The published statement of the First State Bank shows that financial institution with total resources of nearly two million dollars —an all time high mark in banking in this city. Cash and bonds total more than $1,100,Out), while deposits reach "early a million and three quarto . It is an excellent financial snowing and we congratulate President Theodore Graliker and his associates in the successful management of this institution and in the service it renders the community. There will‘not be any gambling on the midway during Centennial week. The executive committee has gone on record against selling space to any out-of-town gatnlkfng outfit or fake paddle wheel concession. Carl Pumphrey expressed the community's feeling when he stated, "This is Decatur's Centennial and not a street fair to make money." The midway will have its attractions, booths and stands, bingo and other kinds of' amusement, but gambling will be barred and the concession committee is turning down offers to sell space to these gyp outfits. _,,,, We had the pleasure to be shown through the three-million do 1 !-.- CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. lor example: If you change your address from Decatur R.

water filtration plant in Fort Wayne the other afternoon. At the time we were there an all-time record in pumping was reached — 18 million gallons of water having been used in less than a 24-hour period. It is a marvelous plant, ' well equipped to serve the city and supply it with good uriuking water. There is as much difference in the Fort Wayne system of water treatment and the deep well waler supply in Decatur as Edison s first electrical unit and the present day modern turbine. Os course it wasn't any surprise for M. Clifford Townsend to be j notified today that he was the; Democratic nominee for Governor of Indiana. We have an inkling that Cliff had a hunch w'eeks ago that he was going to be the nominee and thousands of Democrats in the state felt the same way. Today s program at Marion honored a famous son and friends from all corners of Hoosierdotn gathered there to pay their respects and cheer their leader. With four year's of excellent service as lieu-tenant-governor, Cliff Townsend is ■ equipped better than the average candidate for the office of governor and his election next fall will I give the state an executive of whom it will be proud and can expect high grade service. In fairness to the public we believe the next session of the Indiana legislature should repeal the law which places a state and county tax on municipal plants. We • don’t understand why such a law was ever enacted, since no pretence is made to tax other public property, such as parks, sewage disposal plants, swimming pools ami lire departments. A municipal i plant belongs to the people and no ‘‘ • ( k i’i I ■'iit'TnM ft as private ; property. Il is true that many municipal plants make money and they should, because the earnings I permit reductions in tax rates and in other ways. In Decatur, not a ■ cent is raised for ornamental street ■ lighting or fire hydrant rental, which saving could not be passed onto the taxpayer if the local plant j didn t earn a profit. The electric plant, together with the water department, also contributes $5,000 towards the civil city's budget this year. With these public set vices ! eliminated and *he cash donated the municipal plant can lay claim to being the largest single taxpay-

er in the city. Surety it's unfair to penalize a public institution because it makes a profit and does more than its share towards relieving the tax load.

Linen The color of linen can be preservf d by .placing a tew small pieces of camphor gum in the linen drawers. Shortcake The best shortcake is made out of two layers of thin dough. Use more butter than usual. Spread the dough very thinly in eeiparate tins. Wh n the dough ie cooked, spread more butter on each layer. Then p'ace the fruit or berries on each layer. Then place the fruit or berries on the one layer, over this the second layer of dough, then more fruit or berries. o———— TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File < « July !i 1916 was Sunday.
