MAY PROSECUTE

Who Failed (o File Expense Ae counts at Anderson—Would Be First Action Under New Law

./'v

Uhl

An Anderson news special in the Indianapolis Star says the trustee of Anderson township may cause five defeated candidates for road supervisor to be prosecuted because of their failure to file sworn expense accounts. The successful candidate filed his account, which totaled fifty cents, but the others failed. This action is contemplated under the provisions of the new corrupt practices act, which provides that every candidate for elective office shall file an itemized statement of his expenses as such candidate, with the proper official within thirty days after the election in which he was a candidate. There is a heavy penalty provided in case of failure to comply with the law.

Tt has been said that a delicate woman eats more than she thinks she does. A lady who reached seventy was thought to have eaten 30 oxen, 100 cows. 200 sheep, 50 pigs, 30,000 oysters, 24.000 eggs and four and a half tons of other food. This shows what one can do when they stay with a job.

Tipton, a City of i.075, Could Find No One to Accept Charity Fund and Good Cheer Furnished.

Tipton, a city of over four thousand people, boasts of the fact that they have no needy poor people. The city is not overloaded with riches, either, it is said.

Some time before Christmas two funds were raised to supply Christmas cheer to the poor families. When the funds were all ready, the ones in charge went out to find some one on whom to bestow the good cheer, but failed. Not a family could be found who needed help of this kind and all the relief funds are uncalled for.

The township trustee of the township in which Tipton is located says there are only five families in the township who have received help and those only a few times.
