Taxpayers should remember that more than $19,000,000 of the state s biennial budget is for public welfare, including old age pensions and dependent children relief. The budget would not be any higher for normal operating expenses, if it were not for these new costs of government, plus the states contribution of S7OO a year towards every teacher's salary. Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau assures the country that no federal taxes are contemplated this year and asks business men and manufacturers to help boost business. His advice is right. Let's quit this quipping and complaining and go to work. There's work to be done in every community and once you get the old ball going, it will move on its own power. Homer Capehart, who threw the big roasting ear party on his farm down at Washington, Indiana, last summer, announces from the national capital that he is not a candidate for the Republican nomination for senator, governor or state chairman. That should clear the way for Raymond Sprunger, who has run only twice for governor of the state, young Jim Tucker and others who think they have a chance. One of the important measures, it seems, that has cropped out ini the legislature is a proposal dealing with eggs and providing that a board or commission be set up to deal with the products of the lonely hen. We don't know the merits of the bill, or how expert one would have to be to serve on CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2. instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two.

the egg commission, but it does look that we are trying to regulate too much. After ail It’s up to the lieu. NOT FOR CHILDREN ONLY: Every parent wants his children, I everybody's children, to have u ■ playground. Hut he needs one, too. All adults do. A hard-bitten superintendent of steel mills in - J Gary, Indiana, once went to the' I late Judge Elbert H. Gary and per- ' suaded him, as chairman of the I United States Steel Corporation, II to appropriate $250,000 toward the * purchase of land along Lake Michigan, adjacent to Gary, to be given to the public as the Indiana Dunes State Park. “I didn't know," a friend said to the superintendent, “that you had ' that much sentiment in you.” “It wasn't sentiment," he replied. I "I merely pointed out to the Judge i that in another generation or so, unless we acted now, all that land ' would be occupied by industries or homes, greatly increased in value, and out of reach. Our thousands of workers would then have no place to sit on the ground near the lake and eat picnic lunches undisturbed under real trees. All the signs would say "Private Property; No Trespassing." And that would tend to breed inefficient, discontented, dangerous-minded workers, ready for anything. That's why I wanted the park. There wasn’t a spark of sentiment about it.” Maybe not. But the end served, all the same, was on the side of imperishable human values. The ancient Greeks had a myth about a mighty wrestler. His name was Antaeus. He was a good deal of a nuisance, because he made every stranger wrestle with him; and if the stranger lost, he was put to death. Antaeus could be thrown. But he always got up stronger than ever, thanks to contact with Mother Earth. The great Heracles came along one day, and by holding Antaeus com--1 pletely off the ground, he succeeded in strangling him, and so ended his career. There is immense significance in this ancient tale. All of us are stronger after direct contact with ancient Mother Earth. We cannot long be kept away from it and still remain wholly normal and healthy. But an increasingly urbanized civilization makes even an occasional return to the good earth iKer more difficult for many of us. That very difficulty, however, emphasizes the need. Happily many communities —led by alert groups of citizens—have long understood that need and have long been doing more than a little to meet it. For instance, they have built kiddie parks, wading pools, and woodland camps for the youngsters and parks and flower gardens and tennis courts for the grownups. In this as in most other cases it is no doubt only right to "think of the children first." Very well, let’s do so. Let's give them a corner—a grassy knoll or viney dell or just that acre down by the “depot" —for their mothers and dads. Or better, for all of them to use together.— Rotarian Magazine. • o- * TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY ♦ — 4 Feb. 27 —The Better Farming Association of Adams county organized with R. E.

SEEK PEACE IN RANKS IN LABOR ■„ I I — ! Roosevelt Appeals For AFL And CIO To Hold Conference ■Washington, Feb. 27. (U.R) The privately expressed pessimism of labor's top leader# indicated today that a truce clearly outlining "spheres of influence' would he the limit of achievement in the peace talks between the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations sponsored by President Roosevelt. The negotiations may get under way at the White House shortly after March 4, when Mr. Roosevelt returns to the capital. Officials still awaited the formal ] acceptance of CIO president John 1 L. Lewis to the president's appeal ; for peace made public on Saturday. He was expected to appoint • a negotiating committee within a ' few days. AFL president William i Green had already appointed a ' three-member committee. One important result of Mr. ' Roosevelt’s move, which was grateI fully received by politicians, was ' that it may delay, if not avoid, a i bitter congressional battle over the ! AFL’s suggested amendments to 1 the Wagner act which the CIO opposes. If the amendments reach the floor, senators and representatives would incur the emuity of one or the other labor group, regardless of how they voted. Chairman Elbert D. Thomas, D., Utah, of the senate education and labor committee said it was “possible” that his committee would postpone beyond March 10, the date now set, the hearings on the federation's proposals. Government officials agreed that labor unity would eliminate AFL demands for labor law changes and its attack on the national labor relations board, which the teder-1 ation has charged is “prejudiced" I in favor of the CIO. Reservations made by Green in limiting authority of the AFL’s negotiators lent credence to the possibility that a truce arrangeI inent instead of complete organi izational unit would result. Green said "the preservation of the structure of the AFL and the preservation of its democratic prinj ciples are of trancendant importance and cannot be compromised ■or mode the subject matter of negotiation.” He forbade compromise on the AFL’s economic and political philosophy and asserted that “communist policies” could not be tolerated iu any reunited ; labor movement. The truce suggested by some labor men would call for recognition and acceptance by both the AFL and CIO of existing organ- , izational facts, an agreement by ! each side not to try to take away , the others members or contracts, and the marking out of "spheres of influence" in unorganized fields. Oue suggestion was that each side | agree to respect the rights of the "first group in a plan to organize i at - .; Both the AFL and CIO would ■ preserve their present structure, which would be in accord with ’ Green's stipulation. They would ( th‘m work together as “allies” in • the same manner that the AFL , 1 now cooperates economically and ! in most political matters with the : railway labor unions, many of ; which do not belong to the feder- • ation. r Several facotors were cited to support the truce suggestion. One was the existence of 42 CIO unions tain dishes, etc.? ; A. No. A woman who does this Is . in the same class with the backseat - driver. The average husbaud resents it.

each one of which conflicts with one or more AFL unions. Another wus the "vested iuterosla" of union leaders on both sides who i miight be forced from positions of power and large income in event of complete merger and blending of all conflicting claims. The AFL’s committee consists of Harry B. Bates, president of the bricklayers' association; Matthew Woll, AFL vice president and presi- i dent of the stereotypers' union; ' and Daniel J. Tobin. AFL execu-1 tive council member and president of the teamsters' union. The peace move held political significance iu addition to the Wagner act amendment tight. With each labor group claiming nearly 4,000,000 members, a reunited labor movement would influence au important number of delegates in the 1940 Democratic convention when the new edal will try to nominate a liberal presidential candidate. Green's declaration that the AFL’s non-partisan political philosophy could not be compromised was important in this connection, since labor's non-partisan league, political arm of the CIO. has announced that it would work within the Democratic party to uominate a liberal in 1940, if Mr. Roosevelt . does not seek a thrd term.
