Seems like we just travel on wheels. —Ho—o—- — Ruusevelt will speak at Dayton tonight, observing Colunibua Day and reporting to the people of America on the progress made tor defense of this land of the tree. Listen to him. — ""W o ■— Keep this In mind taxes levied 1 in Adams county this year were liH.noe while In 1933 it was 371®.000 and times were much worse then than now. The dllercuce is I due to the fact that tales have i been lifted from property by the gross Income tax. —o—u Ao octogenarian has been dis- 1 covered by a reporter who accounts for bis ripe age because he : never worrl<-d. Wonder where he lived and what he did for a living i' He probably never heard of the wars or the political campaigns ' and didn t have t<> make out an Income lax' report. - I i If you doubt that Decatur is « growing count the new homes uu ' der construction and those com I i pleted the last two or three years. then check on the number of vacant residences in the city They are very few indeed, so there must I I I be a continuous Increase in our ■ | population. —o < Keep in mind that *7% of all the ] newspapers and magazines In the country are against Roosevelt be , cause they want their taxes decreased Os course the only way ( that can Im* done la to pass it on ( to you so they can make two hundred million dollars a year Instead of one. Don't let them tool you -0 Japanese statesmen may awaken!, some day to And they have made , a serious mistake In threatening this country and in forming a combination with powers that may seriously interfere with them when they again get ready to do busluesg, They hare probably thrown away their best customers and In peace times that's Important. -0 For some fifty years Senator James E. Watson has closed the campaign with a speech in his old town of Rushville but this year he has faded out of the picture and that little chore will be done by one of the young apostles. Hon William Jenner. For some reason—either his own or the "Willkle for president club" poor old Jim is clear out of the picture. "Soon you will see on billboard* up and down the highways a pic-

Remember the objection is that they want taxes passed on down to the ( people and that's all that is wrong with then business. —W 9 - Wbc-n you vote lu November you i will have the opportunity to express your views on three const! tutioual amendments Two of them have to do with discarding double liabilities to stockholders ot state tranks. That Is not needed now be c ause your deposits are Insured by the government. The other is to dispense With the 20-year charter t 'clause It there ever was a good reason why banks should have to reorganize each twenty year*, we don't know what it is The amendment* should carry. BUSINESS AND THE NEW DEAL: The oft repealed political state nient that free enterprise does not exist or that Industry has been stymied and Is not expanding be cause of the New Deal provoke* a challenge to the average intelll genre. In the first place, the orator oi broadcaster who make* such a declaration does nut believe It. All' about him is evidence of the great > expansion going pn in America and his own faith in the United Slate* discount* the philosophy uttered ' by flipant tongue. The millionaire and captain of j industry knows that such a state ; ment is not true. He lets himself! believe In such a theory tor political pm puses only but down In hi* own heart he I* planning ways and means to expand his business. All the building of new factories Heeded In the defense program end you still have thousands ot tie* plant* scattered throughout the country since 1933. Analyse the picture from a local standpoint entirely. Just forget about the rest ot the country, which Is doing pretty good, when considered that many individuals earn from flti.MH) to 3300,00® a year, all paid from Income of free enterprise- in the United States. Just take Decatur for an example. Look about you. Drive to the north and south sections of town The great expansion In local , 'bdustry started with IM3 and I since that time addition* have followed nearly every year. Old plant* have been modernized and streamlined all with the Idea of obtaining more business wlucb floats around, because America 1* I enjoying better living eobdltloim and American workmen have more money to spend. | Property valuations in Decatur alone have increased a million dollars in the last five years, due to the building of uew home* and factory buildlugs and enlargements.

IT'S RELATIVITY 1 WE FEEL Btiauge as It may seem, science ' ha* no standard by which the popular qualities ot “hot” and i "cold" can Im- measured to the satisfaction of every body What is hot In one circutusiame may be .-old in another.

A Reply Editor of the Dally Democrat: In Ibe 2<lh Bept Issue, was an article under the Peoples Yoke c rltlrUlng the srtkl* Lest We For get Now the writer argue* that the bask principles which underlie the fundameatal laws that govern a free people, must of all necessity rest on a solid rock I would like to know when under Republican rule the above waa ever put In practice Did we net have a debt when Roosevelt became president? Did the Republican presl denta ever pay as they went? No. They borrowed money snd gave It to big Imvlness. the corporations, and let the Gugenhines steal our forests and others steal our oil. You must have forgotten the condition this country was in. and that It had been going from bad to worae under three Republics* .« inlnlstratloni They must have over looked the basic principles which govern a free people. Now tell m<- how you would go about making Improvements cm a tumble down house or a God forsaken farm without money? Infls tlon or no Inflation, something had to be done to remedy conditions and F. D R was not long In mak Inga start. Don't you remember we were told for several years that pros perlty was just ground the corner? I Komehow or other It never could make tbe corner We will elect F. D. R. aud you need have no worry about lufla tlon or our debt. We are getting on a solid rock. It seems Willkle Is not goiug to make much change in tbe New Deal, only be la going to perfec t It He promisee us everything undet tbe sun. He does nut seem to know we have a congress that may have some say I guess be means to be a dictator. Do you remember bow Hoover promiaed a chicken lu every pot and two cant in every garage Now would any one expect our major problems to be solved in a few years, when those problem* were for years and year* growing in proportion and numbers. Tbe writer expected Roosevelt to solve all those compound, complex problems In a short time and pay as he went. Now tbe writer* say Roosevelt tnvited the money changer* to the White Houae. etc. Now what did be invite them for? Why to aee what they were willing to do to help the situation with tbe money they bad earned. He made demands of them. They came acroaa. but they bate bim If tbe votera. tbe common people are wise they will not help to elect a man tor tbe muney changer*.
