MINTON AT THE COURT , HOUSE FRIDAY NIGHT. Pay your taxes this week and ‘ avoid getting into the rush that is j always on the last tew days. We can t imagine this community not completing the factory fund drive speedily. It should be done i this week. z__ l The Halloween season approaches and youngsters are warned against destruction of property or trespass. You can have a better time without getting rough. If you can afford to give ten to , twenty-five dollars to the factory fund or any other amount, we assure you it will be greatly appre- I ciated. Tell your friends to vote for Judge DeVoss on the state ticket. ! He is a loyal native of the county and he will prove his worth in the high office to which he will undoubtedly be elected November 8. The cold wave should give you an opportunity to learn whether or not you are prepared for winter j which will be here soon. See that the stove or furnace is in first class working condition and that ! the fuel bin is filled. Two weeks from today is election and it’s highly important that you vote. We feel you support ■ President Roosevelt in his battle for all the people by electing those who are friendly to him and his ' policies and believe in them. Arrange to be at the court house at 7:30 Friday evening or before, to hear Indiana's junior senator, Hen. Sherman Minton. He is an orator and an experienced official. You will enjoy listening to this briliant statesman. | We are proud that Judge DeVoss | of this county is on the Indiana state ticket as a candidate for judge of the appellate court and we are sincerely hoping he will be given a vote in this county that ’ will show he is held in high esteem. Subscribe to the factory fund. If we do as well this week as last the drive will be successfully over. I More than a_ thousand dollars was subscribed last week and that much more would make the deficit i so low that it would immediately be given by individuals. Plans are nearing completion for the Callithumpian parade here Halloween. It will be bigger and better and more fun than ever.. You are invited to take part or to watch as you prefer. Cheer your I favorites as they pass and get all the fun out of it you can. That's what the occasion is for.

While this Is an off-year from an j election standpoint, meaning that |it is not a presidential race and while In such elections the vote Is usually light, it is predicted that ! a million and a half votes will be ! cast In the state. The fact that I, trustees are to be elected is one ’■' of the causes given for a large ;; rural vote. i Senator Minton will discuss the ’ | political issues of the campaign in , an address at the court house in this city. Friday evening. Judge 1 DeVoss, of this city, a candidate for judge of the appellate court, will preside and Congressman Farley, a candidate to succeed him- ! self, will speak briefly. Go early ■ and get yourself a good seat. Senator Minton in his younger ’ days was a fighting member of the Indiana University football team and learned there how to battle 'to a goal. He has kept it up as ' a member of the army during war 1 times, as state public defender, as I a member of the United States I senate. He has strolls' opinions and knows how to express them. The wage and hour law is now ! in affect and since it is so far impossible to get official opinions, I many decisions to be determined i by the supreme court, the only adI vice that can be given is that the j thing to do is to comply to the letter with the law, as nearly as you can and as you understand it and are advised by your particular national organization. j This is a Democratic city and county. For several score years, we have been so recognized. We I are proud of the record made by I office holders. They have been , courteous, efficient and capable. | with but rare exceptions. The i party presents a strong ticket this year and there is no reason why i any voter should cast his ballot against them. They will serve you wellIt is reported that Henry Ford will call 35,000 men back to work this week, matching his peak of production for all time. Other industries are preparing for a busy season and a record breaking 1939. That should be encouraging to every one, big and little business i man, manufacturer, farmer and . laborer, for after all we succeed j together and we suffer when any part of the population is not pros- . perous. Congressman Farley has stated time and again that he is opposed ' to foreign wars and will never vote for the participation of this nation in one. Senator VanNuys, who fs 1 a member of the foreign relations ■ committee in the senate has also , declared himself strongly on the I subject and will, if reelected be in | a strong position to carry out his pledges. If this is an issue there is no doubt as to the position of the Democratic candidates. I Democratic meetings will be held in various townships between now and election, Chairman Nelson has announced. The first will be in Blue Creek at the Jacobs school Thursday evening with J. Fred Fruchte, Robert Heller and Arthur Voglewede as speakers. Another and similar meeting is be- | ing arranged for Root township. ' the date to be fixed within a day or two and several others are be- , ing planned. You are invited to attend and listen to a discussion of the issues of this campaign. It is somewhat surprising that I the registration in the city of De.catur shows a gain ot about 400 i tor the past two years and that we now have legally and proi>erly registered 3,839 voters. Evidently we have gained largely in population for that registration would be impossible under the old census figures of 5.156 and there are probably fifty people who refused to qualify to vote. Based on the registration it seems safe to pre-

CITES DECREASE IN STATE COSTS Gov. Townsend Reports Cost Os State Government Decreased Greenca stle. Ind . Oct. 25 (U.R) - Gov. M. Clifford Townsend reported in a campaign speech last night that the total cost of state and local governments in Indiana Is *18,000.000 less than it was under the last year of Republican administration. Thia saving has been effected, he said, despite an increase of governmental services in virtually all fields. •• The taxes on rural property have been reduced from $36,290,000 in 1932 to $17,539,000 in 1937, and taxes on homes have been reduced from $83,000,000 in 1932 to $58,438,000 in 1937," Townsend said.

He explained that in 1932 there were no old age pensions, no pensions for dependent children, no pensions for the blind, no maternal and child program, no community sanitation program, no extensive venereal disease control program, no WPA, no extensive safety program, no labor division, no housing board and no state support for teachers' salaries By re-organizing and increasing the efficiency of state government. we have been able to give more service to the people at less cost to our Indiana taxpayers. We have been able to bring greater security to the people, without in any way endangering the financial security of government. "The greatest fiscal problem of government is to meet the needs of the people without plunging government into bankruptcy by unnecessary expenditures. Thanks to our system of taxation and budgeting, the needs of the people are being met and the state still has a balance in the treasury. Minton Speaks Indianapolis. Oct. 25 — (U.P) — Sen. Sherman Minton declared in a campaign speech last night that “the hope of the common people of America for continued progress lies in the co-operation of labor and agriculture.” Anyone who disturbs this relationship, he said, is an instrument for the destruction of democracy. He claimed that continued progress will be achieved in America if the common people remain united behind the new deal. "A democracy needs the cooperation of all the people, and great harm is done when someone, either through ignuance of malice, attempt to drive people with similar economic interests apart. “A few nights ago, the Republican nominee for senator (Raymond E. Willis) told an audience that the reason he voted against measures benefitting the laboring people in the legislature was because he came from an agricultural community. That statement is both dangerous and absurd, dangerous because it is a recurrence of that artificial ill-will which the enemies of humanity and democracy try to stimulate. And it is absurd, because the economic and social interests and goals of labor and agriculture are the same." AMERICAN BANK (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) that could advantageously be made. Banks and bankers should caiefully survey conditions in their resuective communities.

Banks would be better able to reply to critics if they were armed with the factual data such surveys would make available." Crowley advised banks which have not paid dividends for several years to "move cautiously in re-establishing dividend payments." "Return to a dividend paying basis,” he said, "should not be contemplated until assets are beyond criticism and until ample provision has been made for contingencies. It is likewise desirable that resumption of dividends begin on a conservative basis and that the rate be low enough to make continuity of dividend payments likely.” Leo Garner, Indianapolis law-1 yer, assarted that Indiana bankers should “rightfully seek and
