About the only change the Republican members ot the legislature are fighting for is to make the board which controls lhe placing ot -importer and distributor licenses nonpartisan. in other words they are for it but want In with it. Decatur needs a good storm sewer and local men need employment, so it is hoped It can be worked out quickly while we can take advantage ot WPA. thus saving the community thousands ot dollars for sooner or later it will have tq be provided.

We- are interested In the same things you are and we are willing and anxious lb battle tor those thmca» most helpful. Hundreds are renewing their subscription each week and we want you to eoaainue as a reader of the Daily Democrat. Os course it will help some if automobile licenses are reduced to from four to six dollars and a measure to that effect seems to be gaining some support in the legislature, but we should keep in mind that the less we pay for thia, the less we should expect in the way ot road building and maintauuonee from the highway commission. To a great extent we gel wljht we pay for. nothing more or letg. Those representatives and senators who are worrying so much they can't sleep because of the demands from the Townsend old age pension groups can cure themseFres by trying to work out a plan whereby the cost of giving ever one sixty years or older a I3OU a mouth pension, can be met. Why worry over what is impossible? A lot of folks would like to have a million dollars but they caul get it and don t lose muc h sleep.

Those who attended the annual 1 Chamber of Commerce meeting t 1 last evening had a good time and ■ enjoyed the enthusiasm and the 1 evidence of going forward in this, the best .muaunity in the world ’ The new directors elected, work- , Ing with lhe holdovers and with > the new officials will do every ’ thing they can to progress to the ( advantage of every one. Ernest 1 Ga limey er, a business leader of Fort Wayne, gave an excellent address and his advice will be remembered. It was a splendid session of a helpful and always needed organization. Decatur has lost a pioneer citizen, one of her nnest, by the death of Lemuel D. Adams and deep sorrow is felt by the hundreds who knew and respected and admired this wonderful citizen. He was ninety-one years old and until injured a few months ago when he was struck by an automobile, enjoyed excellent health. He enjoyed the great outdoors and we watched him working in his garden last autumn, marvelling at his strength. Mr. Adams was for years a successful timber manufacturer, interested always in civic affairs, in his church, in politics and in every thing that goes to make a good citizen. He was a gentleman of the old school and his many, many friends regret his passing. We extend the sympathies of the community and our own to the family. There is absolutely no excuse for the attempts being made iu ; both houses of the Indiana general ■ assembly to lower the qualifies-| Hons for admission to the Indiana bar. Our attorneys used to be opeu to on the part of residents of other states because our standards for admission were notoriously low This defect was remedied a few years ago. with j the result that the people of Indi- j ana are now protected far more • than formerly against the ineom- | petency or unscrupulous tactics of . untrained lawyers. It would be | shameful to remove this protec- : tion. to lower lhe standards, to i bring back the unfavorable notor- ■ levy of the past. The present qualifications for admission to the ; Indiana bar are by no means too nigh. They ought to be retained. Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. House Bill No. 56 has been introduced iu the Indiana legislature by Representatives Millis and Klein. Under this measure, the state will assume more responsibility in the care of the tuberculous by contributing one dollar a . day toward hospitalization for I each patient in a county tubercu- | losts hospital. Counties which now have tuberculosis sanatoria will receive this aid, as will those j counties that do not operate such i hospital but wish to contract or j affiliate with an existing tubercu-| losis hospital. Under the provis- 1 ions ot the bill, a county having sanatoi . facilities and wishmg to have some patients hospitalized may send such patients to a county tuberculosis hospital in this state at the regular cost of maintenance, but will receive from the state *1 for each day the patient is so hospitalized. Counties that now cannot afford the full cost of hospitalization will therefore be aided by the slate. No added tax levy is contemplated by the act, as the cost is to be •taken’out of th* general fund. A similar law prevails in Minnesota. Wisconsin au«£ Michigan, and op erases satisfactorily. — Hoosier Health Herald. I O * TODAYS COMMON ERROR * Do not say. The actor’s res ! ditkm of the role was superb;” nay.
