the Indiana fish and game division of the conservation department. If the waters are high and roily, or even cold, the hutch will be below average, ac says. The black busses, blue-gills iitid other do best in water temperatures above GO degrees. During spring Hoods nests are often washed away and the spawn lost. This water temperature does not apply to pike, pickerel, yellow perch and wall-eyed pike, which have

spawned.

Mannfcld calls attention that most Indiana game fishes are protected— eleven species to be exact—by a closed season from May 1 to June 1C. During this period it is unlawful to possess these fish. Also it is unlawful for commercial stands to possess and sell such even if they were shipped here from outside this state. The eleven protected species arc: small and largo-mouth black bass, crappie, rock bass, blue-gills, silver bass, pike pickerel, wall-eyed (like, yellow perch and red-cared sunfish.

The affidavit charged that Shumaker violated the provisions of the corrupt practices act by publication in the Indiana edition of the American issue, official organ of the Anti Saloon League, the statement that Gilliom is ‘‘wet of record.” Shumaker, through publication of t’ne report concerning Gilliom. sought to unlawfully influence “all persons resident in said county and state and who were then and there eligible to vote at said primary election and who were then and there ‘dry’ and opposed to the sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes, to refrain from voting for him, the said Arthur L. Gilliom." Asserting that the Attorney General is not “wet of record,” the affidavit stated that Gilliom “was then and there ‘dry’ and did not then and there or therefore favor the sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes and did not then and there and theretofore oppose law.- or the enforcement of laws, prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes, as he the said Edward S. Shumaker, then and there well knew; that the said Edward S. Shumaker did then and there falsely, knowingly unlawfully and feloniously caused the false statement to he published.” The suit of the Attorney Genera! today was the first legal attempt to strike at Shumaker's practice of demanding in advance of elections the views of candidates for public office on the Wet and dry issue. Its filing followed the issuance of an open letter assailing Shumaker by

The per capita debt of Putnam County is $24.66 and no mater how loudly a citizen of the county may boast that he is out of debt, he still owes approximately that much by reason of outstanding obligations. I This conclusion, and others relating j to Putnam County's finances, were I reached by the Indiana Taxpayers’ ! Association after a study of the coun ty’s tax problem. An analysis of the situation made by Harry Miesse, secretary of the association, shows also that the per capita tax paid by every citizen of Putnam County is $49.86. Mr. Miesse's ermpilation begins with 1918 when the total taxes collected in Putnam County, for all purposes, amounted to $641,549. By the following year the total had gone up to $701,068, an increase of 9.27 per cent. For 1920 there was an increase of $183, 355, or 26.15 per cent, bringing the total taxes up to $884,423. In 1921 collections amounted to $910,516, an increase over the previous year of 2.95 per cent. The year 1922 showed an increase of $41,814, or 4.69 per cent. In 1923 there was an increase of $223,763, or 23.49 per cent, then lax collections began to | decrease so that in 1924 the total collected was $1,036,520, a decrease from 1023 of 11.79 per cent. The coup ty's taxes went down 9.26 per cent in )925, the total collected being $940,473. For 1926 there was a decrease of $34,784 making the total $905,689. Last year the collections were $991,214. That was an increase of 9.44 per cent over 1926. The increase over

1918 is very g.'ent.

Putnam County’;, outstanding debt at the end of l'.i26, which is the most recent period for which figures are available, was $490,263. This was divided as follows: county, other

Numerous trips are taken during the summer months which are not only very enjoyable for the students but very instructive as well.

The 1927 valuation of Putnam County taxables was $34,290,855. The total debt is 1.43 per cent of that amount. Although the ConsUtution limits municipal debts to two per tent cf the total taxables, the courts have held that various units of government are meant by that limitation, thus the school city may run up a debt to two per cent | and the civil city may do the same

thing.

DEPACW CNIT HAS NUMEROUS PAST RECORDS Today the DePauw military unit is being inspected by regular army officers for distinguished college rating, which it won last year. Since thn DePauw military unit was first established in 1870 this department has always received wide attention for the quality of its work and haa won several records. In 1882 a DePauw military class went to Indianapolis aad placed third in the free for all infantry drill with units from all over the United States and first in the United States artillery drill. For the latter a medal was granted the unit as the beet artillery squad of the United States. In 1892 a high officer of the regular army reported to the United States War department that DePauw cadets had dismounted a gun in the record breaking time of 25 seconds and had remounted it in 35 seconds, which was the fastest time he had ever heard of for that work. Two weeks later the same squad dismount ed the gun in 12 seconds and remount ed it in 32 seconds, which was declared to be a world’s record. For the above performance the unit was allowed 150 new stylo Springfield rifles from the government armory and in addition two three inch breach loading field gumi of the latest type. DePauw was the only unit in the state to have tho

latter.

It was also about 1885 that DaPauw had a unit of zouaves with distinctive uniforms and a very elaborate and formal drill. They went over the state at various gatherings to perform and attracted wide aitention to themselves and the college by theiff performances. When the Spanish war came tho unit and the guns were withdrawn and It was not established again until 1917. Since then it has taken dls tinguished college twice for superior performance in drill against schools with the advantage of larger units and more equipment.

million and the per capita debt as well as the per capita tax arc too high. Where taxes have been reduced one year it is safe to assume that too much was collected the year before. When the total goes up again it i the ’best thing to investigate and learn the reason. The Increases may Ik* justified by emergencies or vital immediate needs but so many times it happens that taxes are higher because the people are listless and pass the buck to the few officials who have the making of the budgets and the levies. Taxes are held down consistently only where the taxpayers organize, study their budgets in the light ef public needs and demand not only economy but lull value for every dollar of their money that the public

officials spend.”
