CENTENNIAL PLANS GOING FORWARD

News Letter Issued By Historical Commission Shows Plans Progressing Elsewhere.

The following notes about the centennial observation in Indiana are supplied by the historical coirtmission. Jasper county under the leadership of Prof. Dean wll do its part. See what others are doing: Miss Charity Dye of Be Historical Commission has establisned a most interesting department in the Indianapolis Sunday Star, known as the “Centennial Story Hour.” Each Sunday some one contributes a story of compelling interest in the history of the state, in effective, attractive style. Beginning with Nov. 7, stories have appeared pn “Old Vigo,” “The Corydon Elm,” and “Clark’s Drummer Boy.” Miss Dye will welcome contributions to this department. Wayne county has outlined a plan for county and township celebrations for next year, by which the several townships are to contribute each a unit, or single act play, the collective units to be fitly co-ordinated in the county pageant. One of the best organization meetings yet reported was that of Montgomery county at Crawfordsville. Nearly one hundred people from over the county were in attendance and manifested great enthusiasm. Montgomery is planning a grand pageant as the central feature of its centennial celebration. On Friday, Feb. 4th, centennial celebration exercises will be held in every school district in Harrison coroty. It is the plan of County School Superintendent A. O. DeWeese that on this date the patrons will bring dinner with the children, all spending the day together in the celebration of Indiana’s one hundredth birthday. Mr. DeWeese offers his teachers suggestions for a suitable program for the day. Hats off to County Superintendent DeWeese. May his tribe increase in Indiana.

The Union county centennial committee is holding regular Weekly meetings in planning for a grand centennial celebration. This is approaching the matter in the right spirit. No worthy observance can be gotten up on a few weeks’ notice. The Terre Haute city park board has secured the planting in various parks of hyacinth, crocus, tulips and other bulbs in designs symbolical of the centennial anniversary. These plants will begin to blossom early in the spring and the planting in this manner is part of the general scope of celebration, says the Terre Haute Star, as planned by the centennial committee. , .

Oliphant the Real Star In Army-Navy Football Game.

Elmer Q. Oliphant, former Purdue football star and now the big sensation of the east because of his spectacular work in the Army-Navy game of last Saturday, is being made the subject of editorials and news-column write-ups. The Lafayette Courier closes an editorial about him by saying: “Those of us who long ago hailed him as the greatest football player Purdue ever produced now feel more secure in the position we took at the time ho was performing for the Gold and Black, and local citizens who made it possible for the illustrious son of a Lnton miner to embark upon a career as United States military cadet may properly take pride in the part they have played in his advanceemnt. For a man who can play football as Oliphant played it Saturday undoubtedly possesses the indomitable force that makes a great soldier and we shall expect to hear of Ollie making more touchdowns for the Army, and for his country, if the occasion ever arises.

How Is This.? A team of honest work mares, set work harness, wagon, spring wagon, •buggy, single harness, all for one hundred dollars. If you need a good work team it will pay to investigate this.

STATE FINANCES AND SOME POLITICS

Republicans Paid Big End of SUdeV Bonded Indebtedness—Critterberger Take* Credit. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 29. —Dale Crittenberger, democratic auditor of state, in bis remarks to the editors at the New Oastle meeting said: “The state has been put out of debt by Governor Ralston, William O’Brien, William H. Volhncr, Treasurer of State, the present State Treasurer, George Bittler, and Myself.” A peep into the public records shows who paid the state debt which Crittenberger says is now all paid but $120,000, and that not due till 1917. The state debt reached its high tide in 1892. At the close of that fiscal year is was $8,830,615.12. At the close of 1896 it was $6,900,615.12. At the close of 1900 it was $4,704,615.12. At the lose of 1904 it was $1,902,615.12. At the close of 1908 it -was $1,510,163.12. At the close of 1912 it was $1,260,163.12. At the close of 1915 it is 5604,548. The above amounts shown as yet due in the different fiscal years are taken from the state auditor’s report for the years named; and these reports show that the republican governors paid as follows: Mount $2,216,000 Durbin $2,802,000 Hanly $ 613,000 Total $5,631,000 The same reports show that the democratic governors paid: Matthews $1,900,000 Marshall $ 250,000 Ralston ? 655,615 Total $2,815,615 The republicans paid two-thirds and the democrats paid one-third of the debt as shown by these reports. During the Hanley administration the legislature increased the bonded debt by issuing SIOO,OOO to build the pavillion at the State fair grounds and $120,548 to pay an old debt dus Vincennes University. This explains the apparent discrepancy in proving *he foregoing payments. Crittenberger said: “On the first day of December, 1910, when ExAuditor of State William H. O’Brien assumed the duties of office, the records in the auditor of state’s office and the treasurer’s office will show that the state owed a foreign debt o: $904,000. His predecessor tume< over to him bills on the auditor’s desk amounting to $190,000, which were unpaid and some of them a long time due.” •

On page 68 of the state auditor’s report for 1910 the total foreign debt of the state is shown at that time to be SBOO,OOO plus $5,615.12 of old state certificates unredeemed and not $904,000 as Crittenberger says. Referring again to the state debt, Crittenberger as well as other democratic apologists claim that the State has paid the old State certificates so long carried in he state’s foreign debt and issued three-quarters of a century ago. Tell u,s will you, Mr. Crittenberger, when these certificates were paid? Who got the money? Wex*e the original certificates surren dered to the sftate at the time of payments, Tell the people of Indiana, Mr. Crittenberger, why the state treasurer’s report for 1914 shows the old state certificates $5,615.12 still unpaid while the state auditor’s report for the same year does not account for them in any way? During the Mount administration the sinking fund levy produced sl,569.706.10 and with this and $646,293.10 from the general fund <he paid $2,216,000 of the state’s debt. During the Durbin administration the sinking fund levy produced $1,654,024.09 and with this and $1,147,976.91 from the general fund-he paid $2,802,000 of the state’s debt. During the Husly administration the sinking fund* levy produced SOBO,919.87 and from this he paid $613,000 of the state’s debt and the balance thereof $67,919.87, under legislative enactment was transferred to and used in the general fund expenses. There was no sinking fund tax collections in 1907 and 1908.

During the Marshall administration the sinking fund collections were $1,454,568.27 and from this he paid $250,000 on the State edbt; transferred under legislative enactment sl,* 203,140.60 to the general fund which was used to pay general expenses; $950 was used to pay interest on the state debt and f the balance $477.67 remained in the sinking fund. In the first year of the Ralston administration the sinkng fund collections with balance from year 1912 were $284,329.32, and from this he paid $250,000 cm the State debt; $lB,283,22 interest on the state debt and the balance $16,046.10 remained in the sinking fund at the end of 1913. The sinking fund taxes for 1914 with balance from 1913 amounted to $302,991,14, and from this there was paid $270,000 on the state debt; $32,-! 783.96 interest on the public debt and

William B. Austin On Mayor Thompson’s Preparedness Committee.

William B. Austin was named last week on a committee by Mayer Thompson, of Chicago, to co-operate with the National Security League in securing more adequate preparedness. The committee is to conduct a campaign to crystallize public sentiment for national military and naval preparedness. The committee is composed of 100 of the city’s leading citizens. When the committee met Mr. Austin offered a resolution that a committee of seven be appointed to formulate plans for co-operation with the National Security League and the Navy League. William J. Calhoun, former U. S. minister to China, was chairman. In calling the meeting to_order he said: “We Americans are in a peculiar situation. Heretofore we have been absorbed only in our own country. We have given but little thought to foreign policies and foreign entanglements. But in the great vacuum which has been caused by the war in Europe we are sure to be called upon as the chief supply source of the world, and to takfe a legitimate part in foreign commerce. And the moment that we do that we will come in contact with conflicting international elements. It resolves itself into a great conflict of economics, one that we shall have to meet.”

W. J. Wright had a remarkable sale of carpet sweepers Saturday. He advertised $3 carpet sweepers for 98 cents, the sale to begin at 2 o’clock. His clerks had sold 144 by 18 minutes afeer two. The balance of the 200 went in short order.

Andrew Carnegie has given away about $350,000,000. In planning to die poor he continues to build libraries and indulge in other forms of philanthropy that have endeared him to the Americap people, while the libraries he has erected have placed books into the hands of countless thousands of children otherwise denied them. Take the library in Rensselaer, as example, and our children from 7 or 8 years of age, have access to the best books in the world. To be sure, we already had a library in the court house, but the Carnegie building, erected near the school house and in the very heart of town, has furnished the inspiration for a wider field of selection and makes it more convenient for patrons. Andrew Carnegie now has about $20,000,000, only a fraction of what he has given away, and he has provided in his will to give most all of the residue to charities. Andrew Carnegie has done a work in education that shrpasses that of any other man and his memory will long live in the hearts of millions of appreciative people. We some times wonder if the people realize that the library is public, that is, that any person is entitled to secure books through it. No home in Rensselaer or Jasper county should go in want for good reading. All that is exacted' of patrons is that they return the books within the required time and in as good condition as when taken out, natural wear considered. Our library has h great variety of books and if you want something they do not have, make the want known and it will probably be secured for you. Remington is now erecting a Carnegie library and Wheatfield may get one if it is asked. Jasper county has reason to be very grateful to Andrew Carnegie.

REPUBLICANS PLAN BIG “LOVE FEAST”

Abo Are Getting Ready For State Convention —Chairman Hays Calls Central Committee. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 30.—Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican state centia.l committee, today issued a call for a meeting- of the committee to be held -,at state headquarters in the Hotel Severin at 1 p. m. next FJpday, Dec. 3. It is understood that this will be one of the most important meetings the committee has held in many months as one of the questions to come up will be that of fixing the date of the next republican state convention. Under the new primary law the state convention must be held within 150 days after the primary and the date must be set by the state committee before the primary is held. In other words, the republican state convention must be held* on some date between March 7th and August 7th. “Th purpose of the meeting,” said Chairman Hays, “Is to fix the date of the state convention, complete the plans for the statewide love feast to be held in Indianapolis on Dec. 29, and to discuss the method of getting the necessary information to the precinct committeemen and party workers as to the operation of the new primary law. The things necessary to be done under the law will all be new, of course, and we think it is important that all the party workers be advised as fully as possible about it. We are receiving many letters at headquarters every day from the committeemen asking what has to be done. There are some plans yet to complete also about the love feast which it. seems now is going to be the biggest demonstration the party has eve* held on a similar occasion.”
