I for as sure as we sit here. Decatur , is glMng to grow . The yellow marks on the state { highways are indicative of danger, | usually marking a curve on a hill { ! and it is Important that every I driver learn this and obey the warning. A law enforcing these : regulations would be a good thing | for the auto association to espouse { Many accidents have occurred re cently because the hurry-np driver keeps right on going around a i curve and up the hill, a recent ex , ample of this being the accident in which Mr. and Mrs Parrett of Fort Wayne and four others were kill cd near Laporte last Sunday. Most of the country will agree that Governor Davey of Ohio took the right course in refusing to ex trauite Carlton B. Chilton, who escaped from the Oklahoma state reformatory 23 years ago. The { man is a respected citixen and is euUMMMd as a satistician tor the I United States department of Inter- ' ior m Cleveland. He has lived ar. exemplary life, has a family and admits that he learned his lesson He has made good in private life, as the saying goes and if returned to Oklahoma would again become a convict. After all law and courts should be helpful and conducted in a mannet conducive of aiding the individual to -intend his way and not solely for the purpose of pun ishment. The Ohio man has no ;doubt paid his debt to society. ► 4 STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE For persons who t»«ll«ve that ku-n-.an .test: y is guided by tn* placet, tbs daily beros ope u outlined by a noted astrologer, la addition to information ot general interest, tt outlines information ot special interest to persons bora on the des:gn*i*d date*.

SPRINGER HITS McNUTTRECORD G. 0. P. Nominee Attacks Record Os Indiana’s Governor Kokomo. Ind . Sept. 2—<U,R) The record of Gov, Paul V. McNutt, on , which Democrats are basing their , 1 fall campaign, was described M "the most expensive administration j Indiana ever had,” last night by Raymond S. Springer. Republican candidate for governor. I Springer opened the First District campaign before a large crowd in Kutx athletic field with an accusation that the Democratic j suite and nationaj administrations are attempting to hide real issues behind smoke screens. Real issues in Indiana are ‘T. The state reorganixatlon bill: 2. Taxation; 3. Stopping of wasteful expenditures and reduction in cost of state government; 4. Education; , 5. Partisan exploitations of state' institutions end the spoils system; and 6. The liquor racket.” the , speaker said. "They are trying to hide their unspeakable reeords of wasteful extravagance and politfeal graft in public expenditures by a pretense ! of liuman welfare and relief for the needy.” Springer shouted. ”1 deny that relief of human need is a real Issue in this cmnpaign.” Asserting that revisions In bookkeeping methods since McNutt took office made comparisons difficult. Springer quoted figures of 73 state administrative departments to allow that in the last three years the Democratic administration has cost Hoosier taxpayers an average increase of 61.048.278. "Facts deny Governor McNutt's claim of reduction in tax receipts. "Four years ago property and poll taxes for 1532 were 398.155.140 iuk! eight special taxes for 1931-33 were 127.558.569. making a total of 8125.743.718. For 1936. property and poll taxes were $95478.442 and I twelve special taxes of 1935-1936 were $59,639,613. a total of $148,937.057. an increase of $23,183,338.” . After re-iterating his charge that the government reorganisation act set up a "one-man government" for McNutt. Springer turned to a vigorous attack on the gross income tax as "unjust and inhuman.'’ “It ts a tax on ajl receipts over SI,OOO whether they represent a profit or a loss.” he said. "We all know too well that a laige volume I of receipts in recent years have ' come from losing transactions and this tax adds to the Iom.” Q . * • The People’s Voice This column for the use ot our reader* who wish to make suggestions for the general good or discuss questions ot Intepest Rease sign your name to ■how authenticity.

HARTFORD CITY JUDGE INJURED Judge Secrest Seriously Wounded; Alleged Attacker Held Hartford City. Ind., Sept. 2—<U.R) —Clint Everett, 45, litigant in a recent child custody case in Blackford county juvenile court, was held in jail today accused of seriously wounded Judge E, W. Secreet, 65, who presided at the action. The attack occured late last night on the •porch of the judge's home. Everett was arrested a short time later at his home near Pennville. The prisoner denied complicity in the attack but his wife and a son were quoted by police as saying Everett struck the judge with the butt of a small calibre rifle after an argument over the recent litiga-. tion. Everett waited on the porch until the judge returned home and they argued, police said. During the argument Everett reportedly ran to his car. in which the wife and son were sitting, grabbed a rifle and returned to the porch. Judge Secrest was struck over the head twice in the ensuing scuffle. Police believed the men argued over a court order sending three of Everett s children to the Soldiers' and Sailors' orphanage at Knightstown.

Gene Raymond has sold his song, • Will You?”, to R-K-O and will introduce it himself in the picture, "Breakfast for Two”. The star is out to get seven songs published so he will be eligible for membership in the Society of Authors and Composers The goal will be in sight if R-K-O buys a musical that Gene has just submitted.
