Welcome News Earlier this week we had all complained about the new sales tax, and the inconvenience of figuring it, or carrying the pennies. But today, those who own property had real cause to rejoice. Property taxes were substantially reduced over the proposed rates, and most were down from the present year The reason, of course, is that a large portion of the sales tax will be returned for school purposes. This makes the bitter pill a little easier to swallow, especially for those who have limited incomes, but own their own horned. This doesn’t justify the sales tax, of course. It is still wrong, and should be repealed and replaced with a more equitable tax. This morning we read an editorial from the Huntington Herald-Press, a Pulliam paper. It extolled the virtues of the property tax, and how it was “wrong” to take money from Washington. Hogwash. The Federal net income tax is the fairest tax we have. Think of the out-of-state corporations taking money out of Decatur — insurance companies, big suppliers for merchandise at all the stores, most of the primary sources of what we buy. How can we get part of this back to build a better Decatur? By property tax? No, they have no local offices. By state taxes? Some comes back, but most are out-of-state corporations. Only by getting our fair share of the na-tion-wide income tax, which we pay, can we get our money back. Some worry about the standards imposed by the Federal government. Usually, a forward-looking man can pretty well figure out most of them. We here in a small town have a bad habit of doing too little too late — and we don’t know it until later. The Federal government sets standards for the future — roads wide enough for 1970 cars, not 1950 models, etc. We will be dollars ahead by paying attention to their standards in most cases. Sure, you can be fooled by the propaganda of those making huge profits off your labor, and oppose a net income tax. But you’re only hurting yourself, and your local community. It is the fairest way, at present, to collect our tax debt — that which we owe our government for the privilege of working and earning our living here. And it’s well worth it — in case you’ve never lived elsewhere!

Will Discuss Church Beliefs On Virgin Mary VATICAN CITY (UPI) — In an extremely close vote, the Ecumenical Council fathers today decided .to include a discussion of Catholic beliefs about the Virginia" Mary in a pending document on the church. The decision, by a scant margin of 40 votes out of more than 2,000 cast, was a crucial victory, for council liberals who favored this approach. Many conservative bishops had campaigned actively for a long, separate theological document on Mary. The liberals feared this would only widen the considerable gulf which already exists between Catholics and Protestants on this subject and make Christian unity harder than ever to achieve. In another major development, the theological commission distributed to the fathers the texts of five questions which will be put to a vote Wednesday to determine the council’s feelings on 'two other disputed issues. One is whether bishops comprise a “college” sharing responsibility with the Pope for the teaching and governing of the whole church. The other is whether the church should revive the New Testament order of deacons as a prominent rank of clergy and permit them to marry. Both issues are raised by the second chapter of the document on the church, which the bishops debated earlier this month. In still another action today, the fathers overwhelmingly approved the fifth chapter of a_ liturgical reform document. Among other things it puts the church on record as being sympathetic to a fixed date for Easter and a perpetual calen-. dar. Today’s session began with a Mass celebrated by Msgr. Josyf Slipyi, the archbishop of the Ukraine who was freed by the Soviets last spring after 18 years imprisonment. Msgr. Jaroslav Gabro, bishop of St. Nicholas of Chicago, also took part. Budget Loan Corp. Increases Dividend Common stockholders of Budget Loan Corp, will receive dividends amounting to 25 per cent greater than those paid in past year, according to Jack H. Payne, general manager, following a regular* board meeting. The dividend of 25 cents per share, will be paid as soon after Nov. 1 as possible. It will mark the sixth consecutive annual common dividend by the loan and finance firm. Previous dividends have been at the rate of 20 cents per share. One of Budget Loan’s nine branch offices is located ip Decatur. Mme. Nhu Extends Visit To States SAN FRANCISCO <UPI) — The unpredictable Mme. Ngo Dinh Nhu, exercising her prerogative as a woman to change her mind, indicated today she would extend her visit to the United States by “five or six days” to rest in Southern California. Mme.

ARE GIRLS PEOPLE? Elect CARL GERBER and the Democratic team who will centralize the recreation program to give Girls the same supervised activities boys now enjoy. VOTE DEMOCRATIC

HOI DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Elect a WORKING MAYOR

As candidates for the city council, city clerktreasurer and city judge, we believe it is highly important to elect a mayor who can begin, supervise and FINISH the necessary reforms Decatur needs. In going on record in support of our candidate Carl Gerber, we believe that with our help and yours he can FINISH the job. We therefore, wholeheartedly endorse his program as follows: 1. The re-establishment of regular daily office hours by the mayor. Decatur’s problems are big enough and the salary big enough to pay for a working mayor. As citizens, you will be able to meet or discuss city matters with your mayor daily. 2. The street department again should provide prompt snow removel, weed cutting and the main street cleaned before Sunday church traffic. Most important there should be super-, vision of new street construction to eliminate “bird baths” in the pavement because of faulty location of grade and catch basins. Later, costly repair of mistakes takes money set aside for other street work. 3. An immediate investigation should be made into the cause of rusting out of water heaters and softeners. These should last more than three years. Other cities don’t have this problem. 4. The money available for the construction of a new water source should be invested in the project before it is entirely frittered away. We are only kidding ourselves when we say we have enough water NOW. Higher rates have eliminated many desirable home use of water but there is still no surplus for a new industry. It’s possible a water supply source could also provide recreational fishing, boating or swimming uses. We believe this can provide recreation for our children now and industrial jobs for them in the future. 5. Girls are people. They deserve as much supervised recreation as our boys are now getting. A centralized recreation program organized with thought and energy can do .as much for girls as it now does for boys with the same amount of money. 6. Already our city has spent more than a quarter of a million dollars on new water towers, water mains and fire department improvements without insurance buyers getting one cent of reduction on > fire insurance on houses, stores and factories because the job is not finished. ■ This should be done now. Pipe purchased last spring by the city should be put into the water mains where it belongs. Our city has spent enough to get back the fire rating it lost three years ago. A little work, not a lot of money, will cut every citizen’s insurance premium.
