They will enjoy it the entire year. Many are joining the Christmas i Saving club and will thus assure ■ themselves of funds when the holidays approach next year. Industry says they will gladly cooperate to improve business. ! Why not? It seems to the aver- < age small business man that they . would gain as much as one. Boost the Good Fellow fund. That’s the best money you ever spent for it assures a lot of boys and girls of Christmas gifts and a dinner that will make them happy. Those who favor making it easier to recount election ballots should remember that if this is done, we will be having them constantly and that it’s a poor rule that doesn't work both ways. We make no claims to being the seventh son of a seventh son and therefore not able to see into the future but we are inclined to the opinion that both candidates for president will come from the middle west in 1940. The Christmas seal sale is going along nicely and with a little extra attention by each individual, in using these seals on Christmas packages and letters, the record this year will be exceptionally good. Don’t forget it. In Pittsburgh, a 240 pounder, Paul Claus, was out of a job and went to the state for employment. His name and tigure made him a natural for what he got —he was employed as a Santa Claus in one of the big stores there. li imu 11 The federal government does not recognize those who are in arrears on their subscription to a newspaper as legitimate subscribers and do not permit the paper to be sent under the regular postal rates for Second class mail. A reasonable time is permitted for the collection. Local stores are crowded these days with Chrsitmas gift buyers who are delighted with the assortment that is on display. You can get just what you want at the best prices to be found any where and you have the guarantee of the merchants you know back of each purchase. That's something to consider. Changes in the Indiana election laws will no doubt be recommended by a special committee appointcki/sYiIP) jgjyc

.ed by Governor Townsend, with Fred Bays as chairman. A meeting to discuss the numerous proposals will be held tomorrow at the state house. Results will be of interest to the million and a half voters of the state. ,' We are informed that the Krick Tyndall Company is working as' ’ I rapidly as they can to conclude their arrangements for financing 1 the rebuilding of their plant and I , they hope to be able to make a definite announcement shortly. They will install the most modern ’ machinery and expect to have the finest plant here in the middle I west. There have been fifty cases of 1 tularemia or rabbit fever reported | in Indiana the first two weeks of December, a sharp increase over the entire month last year. Similar reports come from most of the ( middle western states. The disease comes from handling the anii inal and not from eating it and can be avoided by the use of rubber gloves. It's best to be careful for from all reports one I case of this disease takes the : pleasure out of a good many hunting trips. There will be no recount of the election vote in Indiana. The Supreme Court has so ruled and attorneys who have studied the i opinions as rendered, agree regardless of politics, that recounts i cannot be held in a part of the I unit effected. This is evidently I I not a new ruling but one that has * held during the 122 years Indiana has been a state. It's easy to I make charges of unfair elections I and the GOP press has worked overtime at it, the idea probably l being to give the impression that I they were badly treated. Os course if they have any evidence to that effect they can file affidavits without waiting for grand jury investigations but they prefer to prolong lit so they can keep it alive. It's ; all far fetched and vicious. We are glad to note by recent statements of the Attorney-Gen-eral of Illinois that slot machine gambling is officially recognized as a violation of law. A similar pronouncement has come from the i Governor of Indiana. It has been a long pull since Prairie Farmer started its campaign against slot machines. When they were still regarded as of only triflling importance, we pointed out that they l are the tools of racketeers and: gangsters. We told how school i children were gambling away their . i lunch money, how one little school I girl committed suicide in her des-| pair after a long series of losses. I i So now we are glad to see general i recognition of the thing we began to point out years ago. The slot' machine is a wicked, thieving proposition. Sheriffs will take new ' courage from the recent pronounce-1 ment by the Attorney-General. —- II Prairie Farmer. The Republicans are doing as , j much figuring over how to behave : at the next session of Congress as j ' t a girl at her first dancing party. , Should the GOP stand, with its finger coyly between its lips, and I wait for the Democratic conservI atives to come over and talk to I it? Or should the GOP go after its beau by boldly announcing an i • . j anti-New Deal program of its own and fighting for it all the way down the line? John D. M. Hamilton, GOP national chairman, feels that it would be wiser for the Republicans to lie low'. So does Senator Vanderburg of Michigan. The idea is to let the anti-New Deal 1 Democrats fight the President s program. They think that a little Republican opposition might bring ■ a new discipline and solidarity to ■ Democratic ranks. The strategy. J| at present at least, seems to be | ■ for the little girl to sit pigeon-toed ■ i in the corner, with a sweet look on | her face, doing nothing to indicate „ she is really thinking of the coming Presidential election.— Ray E. 2 Smith in Signs of the Times.

“Home Rule” Issue Will Be Brought Up To Legislature

(Editor’s note: This is the fourth, story in a series on important is- j sues to be considered by Indiana’s 1939 legislature.) By Leonard Castle, (UP. Staff Correspondent) Indianapolis, Dec. 15.—(U.R) —The ’’home rule” issue will be carried before Indiana's 1939 legislature on several vital fronts but Gov. M. Clifford Townsend's administration ’ is expected to resist all efforts to j wrest control from the state government. State organizations of local officials already have announced they intend to seek more local control over the administration of public welfare and the granting of retail liquor licenses. Dry forces will press for a local option bill on the home rule issue, claiming that local governmental units should have authority to determine whether they should be wet or dry. There were indications that the home rule cry will be raised against the state tax board, teachers tenure, ditches and roads, and municipally owned utilities. County and township officials will lead the drive for decentralization of the state’s authority. Gov. Townsend, however, informed these officials directly that he was not sympathetic to their home rule aims with the declaration that he would "never hesitate to use the powers of state government to solve social problems when I feel that it is necessary and essential to the general welfare.” Addressing a state meeting of the county officials. Townsend said that "my attitude is for local selfi government so far as it can functI ion effectively within its sphere.” ' He indicatd that the “sphere” was 1 not wide enough. Indiana's liquor laws have been I widely attacked because they give the alcoholic beverage commission ! sole authority to determine where ’ and to whom retail beer and liqj uor licenses should be issued in . cities and towns. A local board is provided for but its only function is to investigate liquor applicants and recommend what action the commission should take. In many instances the board has been overruled. The state welfare department, which supervises the administration of old age pensions, child welfare, blind aid and aid to crippled and dependent children in the I counties, was attacked by the i county commissioners association as being "extravagant, inefficient ■ttki who WANTS li MY I*' j NOSE Always Sniffling... / Can t Smell ...

and unpopular.” The commiaaioners served notice , they would ask the legislature to , return welfare administration to “county authorities in the Interest of efficiency and economy.” Under the present law, county welfare boards, supervised directly by the state welfare department, administrate the welfare program. These boards consist of five members appointed by the circuit court judges. An effort probably will be made to prevent the appeal of local tax budgets to the stSle tax board by organizations such as the Indiana Taxayers Associations Most county officials dislike to see their budgets reduced by the state agency. Township trustees are expected to demand that they be given more control over rural teachers. The trustees will ask the assembly to remove rural teachers from provisions of the teacher tenure act. I They claim the act has usurped; their power to control teachers. The trustees also have asked that ditches and secondary roads be placed under their jurisdiction. City officials are expected again to sponsor legislation to make municipaly owned light and water plants exempt from state taxes. This issue was brought before the 1937 legislature but was defeated.
