Don’t fail to send in your post- • card questionnaire if you are unemployed or part time employed and remember tomorrow is the last day. Plan giving the Daily Democrat as a Christmas present. For those away from home, at least for many of them; it is the very finest thing you can do. That guarantees them the news from this community daily and wherever they are, it will keep them posted as to what is going on back home. The late fall shows signs of early winter and you need not be surprised if in another month we are in the .midst of an old fashioned one that will make us shake and shudder. Usually when . the cold weather comes this early it keeps up until spring The safe thing to do any way is to plan for it. It might be easier for the foes of the administration to put on a depression if it were not for the fact that through the various plans carried out by President Roosevelt and congress, the buying power of the nation has been increased to such an extent that a Wall street flurry effects it but a short time. It's not a bit too early to be planning for Christmas. Get your, list of those you wish to give to ready, determine your budget and then watch this paper for announcements of the merchants. It will make your shopping easy and pleasant instead of the effort it has been when yqu let it go until the last few days. Some—clever thief has stolen $150,000 worth of whiskey from a Louisville warehouse but like most criminals probably overlooked the fact that the government will never quit until he is taken and punished because along with the liquor he unintentionally or intentionally dodged $20,000 of federal taxes. Crime does not pay. Renew your membership to the Red Cross. It costs but a dollar and half the money is retained here to be used as necessary to relieve suffering. Walter Krick, the chairman of’ the campaign, is anxious to hav» this year's totals exceed those of previous years. He is working hard and so are his assistants ang they deserve your cooperation/ Give it in full measure. Roger Babson says the current business recession which followed the slock market slump, is only temporary and “not the beginning of another depression cycle.” He. is right, and it will be over immediately if labor and congress settle down to the business of aiding re-1 covery. We believe they will and we feel that business has nothing serious to worry about. The Christmas season is near and bus-’ iness will be good. Leaders in Washington are ser--iously considering steps towards a sales tax to be added at the source of manufacture. If that will eradicate the various present forms of l

tax we can not imagine a better movement. It will probably require an amendment to the constitution which means it cannot be i done hurriedly hut we are confident that If the public understood 1 it. such an amendment would be . voted for almost unanimously. It ■ . would save much trouble in mak--1 ing reports and would certainly be a fair distribution of the tax load. J. * 1 Remember last January when * the floods came to southern Indii I ana, Ohio and Kentucky? More • than a million people were renderJ ed homeless, many suffered terribly, hundreds died and thousands more would have succumbed If it I had not been for the Red Cross. | In this as in every great catas-' trophe that has occurred during the past several decades, the Red' Cross did work as brave and wonderful and complete as could have been done under any circum I stances. We all hope we will not have such an occurrence again but we have no way of knowing and it's splendid to have an organization of capable and trained people ready to help when it's needed. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife j of the President, delighted an audience of more than 2,000 at the Shrine theater with her address on "The Relationship of the Individual to the Community,” a subject, |on which she is well versed. She ’ made it clear that the people are; the government and if they insist upon it, will get what they want. She declared that orders in a i democracy come from the people i and not from the high officials and ; she urged greater interest in pub-:, lie affairs. She is a charming ; woman, with a sense of humor and ; much good sense and she is doing an excellent work in lecturing to the public. The money she receives goes to charity, every dol-, lar of it, and to avoid expense in handling it, is sent direct. Her visit to this section of Indiana was a splendid success, for which the Psi lota Xi deserves credit. More communities should honor I more of those citizens whose ser-1 vices have meant much to their | development along various lines, in the gracious manner employed by the people of Decatur, who this week observed "McMillen Day" by paying well-deserved tribute to Dale W. McMillen, of Fort Wayne,, founder and head of Decatur's. "McMillen industries.” As Governor Townsend said on this gala: occasion, “The growth and development of our modern civilization is due in part to the devotion and genius of those men and women who have pioneered the way in new fields.” Such a person is Mr. McMillen, whose development of the comparatively new soya bean industry and whose revitalization of the Northeastern Indiana sugar beet area have been of enormous value to a large and populous re-, gion. His commercial contributions and philanthropic benefactions In Fort Wayne are too well known to, require recital; and it is gratifying that Fort Wayne should have joined with Decatur in appreciative acknowledgment. — Fort Wayne I News-Sentinel. A pessimist is a person who says the bottle is half empty. An optimist says it is half full. It is all in the point of view. The same is true in looking at the money spent by the federal government. The anti-New Dealers shout about the amount of money which has been spent and the unbalanced budget. ■ They call the bottle half empty. They never stress the good done in providing work for needy men ; and women, or the useful public improvements. Let us take the, bottle-is-half-full attitude and see if, this money has been wasted.
