That’s pretty important for failure to do so carries a penalty that can be rather severe. - <■- 1 Mayor Bangs has finally decided, , and wisely, we are sure, not "to | rot in jail” as he has been threat-. ening to do the past year. He has decided to abide by the court de- ' cisions and resume his law practise. Every one will be pulling for Miss Earhart on her plane trip around the world. She has the nerve, the ability and the equipment to set up a new record and : achieve something further for aviation. The spelling tourney attracts much attention and thousands will listen at each contest to these school boys and girls. In many ways it is far more important than athletic contests although perhaps not as exciting. Governor Townsend and other officials including Floyd McMurray, state superintendent of schools will be guests here Thursday. We are proud of them and proud of the i community and will be pleased that everybody will be getting bet-| ter acquainted. This is the last week of winter. Spring is due in next Sunday and we ought to have a mixture of sunshine, rain and the usual early i season winds. Though the winter has been comparatively mild, we are all glad its over and that we can look forward again to file good old summer time. Clarence A. Dykstra, manager of the city of Cincinnati, has accepted the position as president of the University of Wisconsin. If he does as good a job there as he has in the Ohio metropolis, he will make the well known state uni-, versity one of the outstanding ones in the United States. Depositors in the Bank of Willshire will receive 25% distribu-, tions next Friday, making a total of 100% paid by the receiver, W. 8. Terry, of Van Wert, a mighty good job by a man who has proven his unusual ability by doing this same thing in nine out of thirteen banks which were turned over to him by the state of Ohio. After all its not the man that, has to pay federal income tax who CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

’ deserves sympathy. He has had u good earning or he owes nothing. It's the fellow who has worked just us hard but because he didn't have the "breaks" didn’t make any money. Most of us would be glad to pay whatever the taxes are if I we could have one year with a milI lion dollar profit. The tread of prices is upward as I is always the case when general economic conditions are improving. This is due to increased costs. When the price of labor is advanced. when the cost of material goes up, when every thing down the line increases, there is nothing of course for the retailer to ub ' but to Jollow suit. He is your i friend. He is trying constantly to buy at the lowest price so be can sell to you at the best bargain possible, but he likewise must do business at a profit or he won't be doing it long. It is the retailer who carries the greatest burdens, I aiding you by employing labor, by I paying taxes, by carrying you on > his books when necessary by cooperating in every thing for the local community. Stand by him for in these days of changing conditions he is more entitled to your j support than ever. Funeral services will be held to-, day for Andrew Gottschalk, oldest ; business man In the county and rated as the second eldest active j | druggist in the United States, whose death occurred Sunday. He suffered a stroke of paralysis Friday evening and death followed within forty-eight hours. Active in church work, politics, business and 1 his community, Mr. Gottschalk was widely known and highly regard-1 ed. He organized the Evangelical church in Berue, was vice-president of the Bank of 'Berne, served as county treasurer two terms back in the eighties, was always deeply , interested in politics and recogniz-; ed as a good business man. The | fatal stroke came while he was at-1 tendThg to his drug store. He was the father of Senator Gottschalk.' president pro tern of the Indiana senate and for years a recognized ; leader in state affairs. The sympathies of the community are extended to the family. The budget appropriation is approximately 380,000,000. Os this $64,000,000 is for institutional budgets and the balance for social se-' curity and welfare activities. The , 1 institutions will receive about $14.- , 000,000 over the 1935 appropriations. This increase was necessary because of mounting operation costs such as foods, materials, etc.' . Everybody knows that living costs I are higher now. The fund, too, ‘ provides for new buildings and re- 1 pair of old ones—for improvements ( which have been badly needed for I years and which the Republican administrations could have taken care of in prosperous years, but ' failed to do because they want to j keep the budget low for political, , reasons. It may have been good politics, but it was poor manage- i inent of the state institutions. Do j you think it is wastefulness to, keep these institutions from going I to rot and ruin? The reappointment of Clarence A. Jackson as director of the stqte gross income tax division will be generally applauded as deserved! recognition of fitness for the place and valuable service ably perform i ' ed. Mr. Jackson was placed in ; charge early in the McNutt ad i ministration when the present tax ation system became effective. He also administered the affairs of the store license division and since 1936 has been at the head of the I state unemployment compensation division. The Indiana gross income tax produces receipts of more ; than $16,000,000 a year. The collecting of that vast sum involves an enormous lot of details. It reaches to all lines of activity and J concerns citizens and business in- ‘ stitutions in every hamlet in Indi- ; ana. The department has been so well organized and directed that’ jit has functioned smoothly and

Celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Grover Cleveland on March IS suggests an interesting comparison of his career and that of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Both entered politics in New York state as reform candidates and both became national'figures as governor of the Empire state. Both stepped from the governorship to the presidency despite Tammany. And both, carried to i the White House on waves of popular reaction to

economic and social chaos following a great war, faced depression problems. But there the parallel ceases. Cleveland adhered to a set of fixed concepts, followed an economy program, believed that the government was not obligated to assume duties of social welfare. Roosevelt has followed an experimental program which has rolled up the national debt and greatly expanded the functions of the federal governments

He peems to be very bitter toward John Hamilton the Republican national chairman for his weakness in attacking the Social Security Act. The tragedy of this attack by the Republican Nai tional Committee was the cause of ■ the overwhelming vote received by 1 the Democrats in the last campaign. Thin fact combined with the ghaetly blunder of receiving huge contributions of the Du Ponta, Mellons and Morgans also hurt. Their connection which ia anathema to the poorer people, was another sad mistake. The following will explain why some foreigners are Republicans- A young Englishman explained to the welter why he chose the Republican party when be arrived in thia country. After leaving England, he diai covered he would land at Quebec in J Canada instead of tire U. S A. Before the ship docked a young Canadian came aboard and made the acquaintance of severl young Englishman bound for America. He bad a fine personality, was a fluent , talker, and won the admiration of the young Englishmen. He invited them to his night club, and treated j them royally. For three or four days they were wined and dined freely The night before starting to AmI erica, this young man gave a talk He etrongly advised them to vote the Republican ticket for this reason: "The Republican Party was the strangest in America- They were extremely weathy. and controlled the money. If you follow instructions you woud receive a piece of thin money.” Asked how much he received he I replied with a grin, “that he failed to see any yet”. It is true the Republicans have the money and they are quite liberal during a Presidential campaign. During the last campaign they spent over $9,000,000 or about 85c a vote. The Democrats spent lens than $4,000,000 or 22c a vote. Too bad they lost their money. The Presidency of the United States fe rated the world’s No- 1 man killer. But not by Franklin D. Roosevelt. The tougher the work i the more smoothly he takes it. He possesses a personality that captures his political enemy and is the . admiration of all. In his political speeches, you will note he never i i abusee his enemies or opponents. • The truth is that Mr. Roosevelt's 1 actual record in office over his first ;! four years is a record to which it is - almost impossible to applV any ’single political term whatever. Mr. I Roosevelt is now considered the greatest "Liberal" in the world, his ! liberal ideas, and kis "New Deal” principals prove this great truth. Mr. Fish predicts that in the next elect-ion the New Deal or Democrat party will be split in twain, and another party, The Farmer-Labor, Socialist, and radicals, headed by Senator La Follette. If this happens then the "Liberal Republican Party" will sweep the country in 19411. This j doesn't coincide with the rumors of good Republicans, who believe implicity that their party is as dead as Chris Icher’s coon dog.

It la an absolute fact that the Republicans will endeavor to move heaven and earth and perhaps part of hell to defeat the Democrats in 1940. So you see the Democrats must be alert and on their guard to prevent any scheme or trick to injure their organization. If you will read Republican literature you will find that some Republicans firmly be- ‘ live their party is lost, while the “Old Guard’’ ie determined by hook or crook to cause a split In the Democrat Party. You who are converts to the Democratic faith be loyal to the principals of your President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and you and your family 1 will enjoy the happiness you deserve in your adoption. No doubt your past friends will attempt to test your severity, but keep faith and courage, you can reet aeeured i you will fare much better than your Canadian brother. You voted for Roosevelt because he helped you. he will continue to help you, for he is a staunch friend of the laboring clase. In conclusion let the friendly
