A columnist comments that Indiana's Congressman Halleck dares the President to raise income taxes, and advises, "we wish he would stop it . . . he also dared Truman to run.'' —-o o — Sworn proof is not available, but a citizen complains that a car was parked on Second street all day Saturday. No doubt the owner paid the meter rental, but the question is, is all day parking permitted in the shopping area? o o —_ While Indiana's annual budget may climti to 90 millions for the next fiscal year, it is small compared to California’s. Out there where Governor Warren holds sway, the state is faced with a billion dollar budget. Evidently the sunshine isn't free anymore. o o —- Axis Sally is on trial for alleged treason, as the outgrowth of her broadcasting from Germany during the war. The Gl's are in the better position of passing on her guilt or innocence. To our way of thinking she is guilty of something, otherwise why should she have remained in Germany and radioed to American troops, while taking money from Hitler. Among the bills introduced in the legislature is one that would make the Justice of Peace office in Gary a very lucrative post. It provides a monthly salary of SSOO each for the J. P. and constable, plus $5,400 for clerical help and $2,000 for other expenses. If enacted, there will be more candidates for the place than those who aspire to be mayor of the steel city. o o Emphasis is being placed on a very commendable undertaking, that of providing scholarships to deserving students. Recently Tri Kappa sorority offered a ?IW> scholarship award to a local high j school student and now the Lincoln Parent-Teachers Memorial' Foundation, expands the plan by making a SI,OOO loan available to! the boy or girl who wishes to at-' tend college, and become a teach-j er. The sponsors of these scholar-) ships are offering a challenge to the person who desires to continue his education, in addi’htn to stimulating interest in high school Scholastic attainments.

MOOSE INITIATION TONIGHT PROMPTLY AT 8 P. M. Ixical degree Mall and drill team will give the Initiation Ceremony. All candidates must have their dues paid up and health statements signed before 7:30. All mentbers are invited to attend. Free lunch and refreshments served after lodge meeting. All candidates are urged to attend this initiation.

The Herman Talmadge administration in Georgia appears to be trying to make its control perma- ) nent. One bill introduced in the legislature would restore the poll « I tax. Another would require a would-be voter to explain a pasr sage in the state constitution to r Lt the satisfaction of the registrars, an easy way to disfranchise antiTalmadge voters. A third measure would extend a system like that of the electoral college, now in vogue ’ in Georgia Democratic primaries, to the general election. By it a candidate, might be defeated by - the popular vote but gain office i- by winning a majority of the couns ties. One argument made against e | President Truman's civil rights e bill is that, left to themselves, the 1 Southern states would abolish the poll tax voluntarily. Georgia, uni der Talmadge, suggests that they . are just as likely to extend it. I I ) —— i | - Crossing Hazard: I 1 Frequently, this newspaper has i called attention to the hazard tiiat i lurks at the Third, Fourth and . Fifth street crossings on Monroe I street, route of U. S. Highway 244. I I We are not traffic engineers. \ and consequently do not have the ' i answer to the problem. However, our general interest in safety and i concern for those who use our I streets, convinces us that somei - thing must be done. A collision occurred at the Fifth street crossing Sunday evening. One man is dead as result of the accident. Can anything be done about the crossing? o o Task For Acheson: General Marshall is the third I secretary of state in the last five 'years to resign for health reasons. Messrs Cordell Hull and James F. Byrnes were Hie other two This ’ undue strain is partly caused by ■ the strenuous character of the 1 times, partly by the faulty organ!1 zatlon of the State Department ,1 It is also true that both Mr. Hull and General Marshall were nearing the end of long careers when they stepped into the office. But this long experience made them all the more valuable, and the office should be one which men in that stage of life need not hesitate to accept because of its t physical demands. Every new secretary promises a reorganization of the depart- . rnent. none has as yet had the > leisure to get at it. Dean Acheson, as a former official in the department. starts with an advantage j possessed by none of his iminedi--1 ate predecessors: He does not have to spend much of his time I in getting acquainted with his I surroundings. Perhaps he may be ! able to get at this long overdue ■ task. The Bombay government has (ailed upon all government ser vants to retrain from serving al coholic drinks at official and semi official parties and asked them not to accept such beverages in public.

Monroe Residents Report Armed Gang Seen In That Town Townspeople in Monroe todav were* rehashing the gory exploits of John Dillinger, "Baby Face Nelson and the Al Capone outfit. At 2:30 Monday afternoon a sleek black Studebaker drew up in front of the Central market in, Monroe. Two of the five occupants, i all strangers, got out of the car) and purchased some food. Their j attempt to cash a S2O traveler's check was denied, so they regret- j fully paid in cash. I While the bickering over the check ensued, several men )oung-[ ing about the store saw the two' i men in the rear seat of the sedan| hand over to the driver a machine gun. | Armed only with the knowledge | that the car bore 1949 Indiana license plates, the witnesses notified the Adams county sheriff’s department, which in turn alerted other! law enforcement agencies in the j area. A road block along possible routes failed to yield the armed| car, grimly reminiscent of the get-I away vehicles of the gangster era. | Crawfordsville Post is Robbed Os $2,000 Crawfordsville, Ind., Jan. 25 - (UP)— State and local police today sought thieves who broke into an American Legion post home here and stole an estimated $2,000 in cash, equipment and liquor.
