In Flight Hours
Starting from Howden Tuesday morning on a test flight to Fulham, the big aircraft had been afloat for thirty six hours, at times in bai w'ea ther. and was returning to the How. de.;. airdrome at the time of the dis. aster, which constitutes the most ter rible of its kind, in peace times. When flying at about 1,000 feet over Hull spectators saw the ZR.2 seemingly buckle amidships and plunge downward over the city and into the Humber river. One theory of the cause of the dis aster is that while the ship’s rudder was being tested, the giant craft took a sharp turn which caused her frame work to buckle and that the explosion of a gasoline tank completed the tragedy of the air The actual cause however, probably never may be known. A report had been afloat for some days that the ZR.2 was struc. turally weak but this was stoutly de_ nied by all in authority. Tens of Thousand* See Crash Tens of- thousand? of spectators saw several men climb outside the balloon and drop from the falling mass, which was enveloped in smoke and others Jump into the Hum her as the crippled craft came over the water. As the dirigible struck, the wreckage above water was burn, ing, and there was slight chance for any of the men caught inside to es. cape. Tugs immediately put out into the stream and brought ashore an d pick ed up the survivors who were taken in ambulances to hospitals

ROTA RIANS ARE ENTERTAINED BY MISS MAUDE WILLIS “That Something,” a story of the climb of a ma n from the deeps of des pair and poverty to riches and happi. ness was the reading given last Wed nesday night by Miss Maude Willis, a Community Chautauqua entertainer, to the members of the Greencastle Ro tary club and their wives at the reg. ular weekly luncheon of the club For the first time since the club was organized the members had as their guests their wives. The ladies of the Christian church served a most delicious fried chicken dinner after which Miss Willis was introduced by Harry Freeman. The story was most interesting and the interpretation of Miss Willis was excellent. Miss Willis came down to Greencastle from Roachdale where she appeared Wednesday afternoon in the Roachdale Chautauqua, at the special invitation of the Rotary club. The story “That Something” was dedicated by its author to the Takoma Washington Rotary club and later was re.dedicated to the International Rotary club.

AMENDMENT NO. 10 Every tax payer unless he has con verted his property into non.taxables is crying for relief from the ever in creasing burden of taxation. They are all in search of a remedy Amend ment No, 10 seeks to remove a con. -titutional limitation in order that the legislature may pass a law pro. viding for a classification of proper, tv so that each class may pay its share of the expense. The present inequal distribution of the burden of taxation is a result of a constitutional provision compelling all property of every class and kind to share alike in the publii? ex.
pense.
For example A man has $1,000 in hank, $1,000 loans at 6 percent and $1,000 in farm or city real estate Under our present law these sums each pay the same amount of tax without any consideration as to their earning capacity or benefits received. The first earns nothing, the second $60. the third may earn $100. A street or road is to be improved As a result the sum invested in the farm or city property is greatly increased in value. It will sell for more, rent for more and is worth more as a home, yet the sum in bank and the sum in notes though not benefited to the same extent pays as much for this improvement as the sum getting all the benefHs. The result 1 is that the intangible property has taken to cover and is paying nothing. Many very rich men have invested their all in non taxabl property leaving the other fellow with the bag to hold Most of us remember when if we needed a few dollars to carry on our business we could get it from most any of our neighbors but that day has passed. The tax rate has gone so high that they have invested their spare funds in non taxable bond# which are on the increase so rapidly that soon one half of the people will pay all the expense of government. If the $1,000 is loaned i n most of our taxing units at 6 percent, half of )he interest goes to the government. This is too much and will tend cause it to go into hiding but if the government would take $6 leaving $54 to the lender all would be will, ing to list such property, but this cannot be done unless we amend our constitution The object of amendment No. 10 is
different rates for the various class, es of property based on their ability to pay as well the benefits they receive. All property of every class and kind is benefitted by good government and should contribute to the support jf that government. But if all class 's are not benefitted to the same ex tent why should they not pay only in iroportion to the benefits they do re. ceive. It is objected that it would be dan. rerous to remove this limitatio n and give the legislature a free hand in making such laws. It is said we annot trust our legislators But the proof of the pudding is in the eating 'thereof. Twenty two states have in some form adopted this very pro. Vision and are satisfied with the re. suits. None are seeking to return to the general property tax system. Kentucky collects a tax of ten cents per hundred on all bank de. posits, the bank paying the tax then charging each customer with the a. mount. A thousand dollars in intan. gible property earning $50 is taxed approximately $5 leaving $45 to the owner. In this way they have brought out all the hidden property and it is now paying its share to. war d the expense of the Common, wealth. If the objectors cannot show that the fearful results they picture and profess to fear have followed in these twenty two other states where is the reason and grounds for their fears in Indiana? After having carried on a war for the avowed purpose of extending our form of government throughout the world are we now about to admit that a representative form of government is a failure. W. E.

CHAUTAUQUA HITS SNAG AT ROCKVILLE
It is not at all probable that an assessment of stockholders will be necessary to keep the Rockville Chautauqua on a substantial footing While all the bills against the assoc. Nation have not been audited, it looks at this time as if receipts were not large enought to pull through and Ithis, too, with a deficit of $500 from last year. Before our people learned 'that the shortage in the sale of sea. son tickets—$1,200—was not a local Condition only, that all over the coun trf Chautauqua.s were in sore straits financially, they were inclined to think that the management was to blame. However that feeling was al. together dispelled during the Chau, tauqua an d everybody now sees that the board has done unusually well.— Rockville Tribune,

WARN THE SC HOOL OFFICIALS OF FIRE
In a few weeks the schools of Indi. ana will be opened and ever >' school room will be occupied by the children of our state. Those who are charged with the re sponsibility of the care of these child ren should be sure that everything has been done to insure their safety Be sure that every fire hazard has been removed; that the heating plant in each building is properly installed and in correct repair; that approved fire extinguishers have be^n installed when and "'here needed; that the in. stallation of the electrical wiring has bee n thoroughly j n spected and that ^ame is in good condition, and that ■“’dts and fire escapes are in proper
shape
Ten per cent of all accidental deaths in this country result from fire. Each year a great many of cur school houses in Indiana burn Don’t let it be said that any school house burns, or a child loses it life, as a re ult of your neglect or inattention. Eighty five per cent of the fires in this country are caused by careless, ness, a proportionate part of which fire are in schools, not through the carelessness of children but through the carelessness of those charged wi ;h the legal obligation of safeguarding the life of your child and mine. This responsibility rests upon every school official, including teachers If you are a member of a School Board a township trustee, county superin. tendent of schools, or a teacher in the schools, you are charged with the re sponsibility of seeing that the child ren are properly protected. Every parent should make it his or her business to see that their children are properly cared f° r During an average of five hours each day during 200 days i n each pear, 25,000,000 children are in the schools of the United States. The attendance is compulsory; no funda. mental educational problem is great er than the safety of these children Fire losses j n schools in Indiana during the yeiars 1918, 1919 and 192i; amounted to $348,735.00. Fire drills are extremely important and should be held at least twice a month, but perfection of drilling is of little value if fire exits are omitted or improperly deisgned or if doors are locked or do not open outward All doors to school buildings should open outward and should be equipped with panic release bar latches Very truly yours, Newman T Miller, State Fire Marshall.
