The , first rain in months is following , him through the dust bowl where he is conferring with governors and others as to the best means for flood relief. The race for the National League baseball pennant continues i about as exciting as it could be. With about five weeks of playing) scheduled, New York. Chicago and St. Louis are putting up a battle that makes every game as good as a would series. . After you listen to all the predictions, promises and flights of oratory, it will be up to you to vote as you think best. That will be a good time to compare your own condition with what it was four years ago and give credit where it belongs. President Roosevelt should not be charged with talking politics when’ he says with a smile, "Well folks, things are looking much better here, than when I visited you four years ago,” but there is something to think about and it might be well to ask “why?"

The editorial meeting at French Lick Springs was one of the most enthusiastic, entertaining and interesting ever held and those in attendance were impressed with the wonderful address made by M. Clifford Townsend. Democratic candidate for governor. He is talking plainly and where he goes in Indiana the voters are impressed by his honesty and his ability. He is well prepared for the job of governor and the people of Indiana will employ him when election day arrives. Tax payers of Adams county who feel that lower levies can be made will meet at Monroe tomorrow to discuss plans at a school operated by the Indiana Farm bureau. It is always a tough proposition to have the improvements desired and at the same time keep taxes down to the point that is satisfactory. In the old days the loads created the big expense but now we are arriving at a point where the relief and pension requirements are increasing while the improvement costs are gradually being reduced. Distribution of taxes 7s a debatable subject that requires sound thinking and honest administration. “I am not here to say that a gross income tax is a perfect law. I know, and you know, that it is indeed an exception where any lawdealing in a complex manner with our people is found to be perfect when the light of experience is thrown on it. Y'our platform dei dares, and I promise to give carefig a#d .sympathetic attention to any individual, or group of individuals, who may come to the next session of the legislature with what ! they consider injustices or inequalities in this law. It shall be my purpose to recommend to the legislature that all injustices, if there are injustices, be removed. The only limitations on such amendments are that the law be not invalidated, made workable or the revenue reduced to a point that will throw the burden back on property, or necessitate a general sales tax.—From Cliff Town send s keynote speech at French Lick Saturday evening. o ► 4 STAR SIGNALS -BY- | — OCTAVINE ' For persons who oelteve that human destniy is guided by the planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.
