The Chrysler Corporation has hi anted a ten per cent increase in wages for all employes which is perhaps the wisest method of preventing sit-down strikes. The total amount raised for the Red Cross flood fund in the United states is about nineteen million dollars, which is some showing for three weeks and almost without effort. Exemption from gross income. taxes will be $3,000 if present plans of legislative leaders are carried out. That may not be much relief to you but it is a start and shows the proper trend of thought. The public is in hearty accord with Governor Townsend in his efforts to secure better traffic laws and regulations. A dozen new bills will make it necessary for automobile drivers to watch the corners. The cold snap is just enough to make us appreciate the mild winter we have enjoyed. The past few days have been the nearest we have had of the severe brand and it is just nice, snappy temperature. Louisville got an awful jolt from ! the flood and has a stiff fight ahead but they are smiling and will lick it and along with rebuilding their wonderful city will also. provide protection against a repetition of the recent catastrophe. The 1937 session of the Indiana legislature is rapidly coming to the I rush period. With a number of ‘■must” bills up this week and with many of the "nuisance” jokes be> ing killed off, the boys will get down to the real business of enacting necessary laws. Indications are that less acts will be enacted in this session than for many years, which is in line with the wishes of Governor Townsnd. Democrats all over the land will hold victory banquets on the evening of Wednesday.

Os course there may be ' some slight changes but the main i thing will be to have a court that' does not tight the executive and congressional divisions of govern-1 ment. Republican leaders in the Indiana house and senate made a grand ■ stand play by introducing a bill in . each house asking the legislature to go on record opposing President i Roosevelt’s proposed supreme court! changes. It gave them a chance I to gamble on any thing that comes 1 up. They hope some day and some , way to grab hold of an issue that i will help them back in power but they should know by now that the j big issue in this country is prosperity and as long as we have it. the more impossible it will be to break down the organization of ] the administration in power. If you talk to any who have been in the flood district, you will 1 ( know that money is going to be j necessary. Just now they have food and clothing sufficient to take . ( care of their needs and more but , that will not restore properties or s morale which will be the fight now ( ’ ‘that the waters have crawled back | into the Ohio river beds. Then I too comes the danger of additional ’ floods as the spring approaches ( and of course money will be badly ( needed. This county has made a * splendid showing by sending in six * thousand dollars of cash but we j stand by for calls for more when v those in charge issue them. _ i 1 1 Os course President Roosevelt is, t correct in his plans for a long I' range rehabilitation program for 1 i the mid-west to protect the nation's i I “bread basket" as he words it. The i Ohio Valley territory has been I severely hurt. This has been no,’ ordinary spring freshet but a flood I c that has done millions and millions e of dollars loss, has washed away!' <1 the homes and the barns and the I warehouses along hundreds of r miles adjacent to the Ohio. It will k take years to recuperate and while I the bonuses now being raised will I help it will be far short of the a amounts necessary to rebuild 1 I’ l | homes and refurnish stores. Thel ( economy program of the president t sounds good to us. The pari-mutuel bill has made t its regular bi-ennial appearance in ; the Indiana legislature. Every 1 session for thirty years lias received such a measure, discussed it. 1 voted on it and usually defeated it. Four years ago it passed but j was vetoed by Governor McNutt , because some one had slipped in i a joker including dog races. Opinion still varies as to whether we 1 , should have such a law, the pro-1 fits to be used to finance old age 1 pensions. It is doubtful if a majority of our citizens favor this method of raising money. Another bill 1 , would legalize slot machines as a method of getting some easy mon-i ,ey for the state.

FLOOD MEASURE IS INTRODUCED Bill Would Provide Long-' Range Program For Flood Control Washington, Feb. 11 — (VP) I Congressmen from states ravaged by drought and floods worked today to co-ordinate sentiment behind the | Barkley-Bulkiey bill to blanket the entire nation with regional agencies similar to the Tennessee valley au-i thority. The measure, introduced by SensRobert J. Buckley. D.. Ohio, and Al-1 bin W. Barkley. D . Ky.. is designed [ to provide means for carrying out President Roosevelt's ideas for a ■ co-ordinated long range program of flood control, drought prevention, and preservation and development, of natural resources. it was introduced in the senate yesterday shortly after Mr. Roosevelt called upon congress to develop a "new economy” for the middlewest and submitted the report and recommendations of his great plains drought committee. Last week the president, in a similar special message, submitted the broadscale conservation and flood control program planned by the national resources committeeThe Barkley-Bulkiey bill followed ■ lines suggested by the President re-1 cently when he said he believed the • orderly method of coordinating conservation and flood control efforts; would be to establish eight region- • al authorities to supervise the work.[ Whether the bill will receive administration support was not known. Mr. Roosevelt indicated that legislation embodying his ideas would he introduced soon. The measure, designed to grant adequate power to the eight authorities to carry out virtually the full | program of the national resources committee, is understood to super- • «sede various earlier proposals see!;- j ing to combat drought and flood on ' a smaller or more limited scale. I Among these had been bills seeking to create an Ohio valley authority, | an upper Mississippi Valley authority and a Columbia River valley authority. The seven new authorities in the Barkley-Bulkiey bill would be: 1. Tlie Great Lakes-Ohio authority, embodying all rivers flowing into the Great Lakes or the Ohio with the exception of the Tennessee I river- * 2. The*Atlantic seaboard, to cover | the entire region along the Atlantic [ seaboard from Main to Florida. 3. The Missouri valley with juris-1 diction over the Missouri and its tributaries. 4. The Arkansas valley, embrac-l ing the Arkansas and its tributaries ' [as well as all other rivers south of the .Missouri flowing into the Mis* sissipp and the Gulf of Mexico, i 5. The Colorado valley, having i jurisdiction over the Colorado and ! its tributaries and all rivers flowing | into the Pacific south of the Columbia river. 6. The Columbia valley, embracing thd Columbia and its tributaries7.
