Ed Stein, Democratic leader of the house, told Herb Evans, the Republican leader, if he would “tie the elephant outside" the t minority would do all they could to help enact some worth-while ■ legislation. That's right. Repre ' sentatives should lie interested in 1 all the people rather than in their own prospects for re-election of promotion. President Roosevelt has again warned congress that a mistake I > is being made in reducing the > WPA fund and in a message to 1 congress has urged a special ap- • propriation of $150,000,000 to make i up the deficit hi the amount orig- 1 inally asked. The president no 1 ' doubt knows the requirements to 1 t take care of unemployment better '<■ than any one and his advice should 1 make the law makers consider the ' * matter seriously. > ——l Joe Louis, the world heavy- < weight champion has signed to < “ met Jack Roper at Los Angeles, t California, April 24, which means : just another exhibition tor which < Joe will pull down a fat chock. 1 No one seems to know who Jack i Roper is. Sports writers say he ' is a Virginian who has boxed for i some years and who is willing to i take a few bumps for fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. That's t one sure way to make the fight I game a big joke. “Wild Bill" Cummings, famed *“ dare devil on the auto racing “ courses, who has taken a million chances in his hundreds of races and who has set up some all-time records, lost control of his car and went over an embankment. He suffered a fractured skull and physicians worked for hours to save his life. It goes to show that regardless of how expert you j may be in handling a car, you are j always taking chances and especially' so if inclined to drive over highways rapidly. The Decatur Free Street Fair and Agricultural show will be held July 31st to August. sth inclusive, it has been announced by the Chamber of Commerce board. Originally it had been planned to hold the event the week of August 7th but this date contlictn with the Jay county fair and several other events scheduled tor this section. Contract for the rides and for features have been signed or arc under consideration aud the management of the fair believe the

public will be delighted with the program when completed. Boost the fuir and get ready for a good time. Democratic senators agreed to consider the Hardy liquor control ' | measure now in senate committee, ; amend It to the satisfaction of a majority of the Democratic senators and rush it through the senate. A satisfactory solution likely will Include abolishment of the present importer system, maintain- , Ing control over the number of I wholesale beer dealers by limiting I them to one for each 20,000 population as uuder the present law, but throwing competition among the wholesalers on a state wide basis, providing for an appeal from revocation of licenses or failure to renew licenses to the courts of Marion county, and permitting wholesalers to sell to one another. Stuart Chase, noted commentator in an article in the March Cosmopolitan advises that we start plans to keep out of war. With rumblings heard in a half dozen or more great nations it is easy to be drawn in before we realize it and Mr. Chase thinks, as do millions, that we should tight ' for American neutrality by doing | every thing we can to continue it. The following terms are pres'crils i cd: (1) When war comes, restrict ! exports to belligerents by quotas based upon the average of actual exports to those countries during the last three peacetime years; (2) shut off all credit to belligerents; make them come and get their goods in their own ships and pay cash; thus, if the ships are j torpedoed, our citizens will not be aboard and our exporters will not suffer any losses. Mr. Chases's arguments are sound and l|e continues by advising every necessary precaution for defense of Ulis country. Read it. The fact that England has a balanced budget is brought up frequently by those who profess alarm over the government spending program. Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of the board of gover- ‘ ors. Federal Reserve system, gave . some enlightening figures about c why Britain's budget is balanced ' in a radio address recently. As to ( the argument that the British < achieved recovery while balancing 1 their budget. Eccles pointed out ‘ that while income in the United u States was falling 50 per cent, the J British government never permitted its to fall more than 10 per ] cent, and that British rates of j taxation, if applied to the United ' States, would very likely balance t our budget. Britain's budget. • Eccles said, is not due to the fact it spends proportionately less than 1 we do. but because its income and f inheritance taxes are relatively , much higher. Those who would i balance the budget, as England 1 t did by leving higher taxes, would not be for such a proposal if made , here. 1 "Bargain seeds” are seldom a , bargain. State seed analysists who i have the job of enforcing state ' pure seed laws have a busy season before them. In shopping around to find bargains—low priced seeds—the buyer frequently gets stung with a misbranded lot of seed. A. S. Carter, ag chemist til Purdue, tells of a typical case. Seed shipped into Indiana was inispccted in the original bags in a freight station. The label claimed the seed would perminate 91 per cent with four hard seeds. Test showed it to germinate 41 per cent with nine hard seeds. The seed in the lot was 95.75 per cent sweet clover, the rest being dirt, chaff, weed seeds, and a small amount of other crop seeds. There wore 17,59(1 weed seeds per pound, with 216 quack grass seeds per pound. Instead of 180 pounds of seed, the farmer got only 71.7 pounds of pure, immediately germinablc seed. With all the facililics the slate affords to protect tanners against fraud of this sort, it would seeui that no one would'

WAGE FIGHT ON LABOR MEASURE Small Business Men Protest State Wages And Hours Bill Indianapolis. Feb. 9 (U.R) Labor and the small business man clashed last night in the first round of the fight on the house wages and hours bill. It ended in a draw as the committee on labor conducting the public hearing took no action. Representatives of small business which would be affected by the measure declared it “unAmerican,’’ "political dynamite," and “unworkable." Opposing them, proponents of the bill asserted its passage would be a step toward returning prosperity through regulation. Max Hosea, representing independent telephone companies. | claimed Ute enactment of the bill would break up telephone com-, munication throughout the state. | Warning that between B,ooo| and 12,000 high school students who work part time in drug stores would be thrown out of work if the proposal is made effective, Albert Fritz, secretary of the Indianapolis association of retail druggists, pleaded that the bill be abandoned. Representatives of canners and . grain dealers throughout Indiana 1 also appeared and urged the death j of the measure. Claiming passage of the proposal would improve buying power and create better business conditions. John H. Bartee, secretary of Indiana state industrial council, asked the committee to '.••port favorably on it. Other labor leaders who pressed the committee for favorable action on the bill were Adolph Fritz, secretary of the Indiana slate federation of labor; Ross Davison. Jesse Wood and Garnett Robinson of the United Mine Workers of America; Zachary Wilson of the meat cutters’ union, and Carl Mullen, president of the slate federation of labor. Primarily the bill is designed to bring the small business now not , controlled by the federal wagej hour act. under provisions of a i similar law. It would provide a starting minimum of 25 cents an hour. J raising this gradually to 40 cents i an hour by the end of seven years.
