GOOD BftMK Attempts at prophecy are useless a* this new year begins. The course of business will depend upon the course of the war—and that cannot be forecast. I 1 ___ • ; ] While our national defense program will be a spur to production, and will absorb part of our idle man power, the costs of our preparedness efforts will act as a brake on individual profits. It is with these thoughts in mind that we wish you, .and all Americans, not merely prosperity in the New Year, but an, increasing measure of national security.

ONE MAN RULE TO END UNDER G.O.P. PROGRAM

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. I.—Carrying out 1940 state platform pledges, the Republican legislative program decentralizing government and eliminating one-man rule in Indiana practically is ready for submission to the General Assembly. Prepared by the joint steering committees of Republican members of the Hduse and Senate, headed by Arch N. Bobbitt, publican chairman, the decentralization bill has been passed uponjby a committee of outstanding Indiana attorneys j named by Mr. Bobbitt as an advisory committee. Announcement was made also that the entire Republican legislative program is in ah advanced stage and will he ready for early submission to the legislators. Members of the steering committees are seeking to have the program introduced early to give ample time for debate a|nd to give the public opportunity to become acquainted with their provisions. Briefly the Republican legislative program calls for: Reduction of the present eight departments of the state government to five, with each department to be headed by two elective state officials and the Governor. Elimination of politics in the management and operation of state institutions, with restoration of bi-partijsan boards and a merit system for employment of personnel. . !, Make Attorney General Elective * Removal of the power of the Governor to name the state Attorney' General and replacing that office-on the ballot of the in prelection. ! Revamping of the control of the state welfare department who"’ e a bi-partisan hoard of fo|ir members, two- to be named i,y the Governor and two to be named by the Lieutenant Go\ >rnor. Absolute divorce of politics from the operation o. t Jeu Alcoholic Beverages Commission and the state eoiine d miCinent. i Under the jlh tentatively sanctioned, control of the, :a e departments of govapumejm will be divided as follow I Kxe. utive ..

All elective officials will have complete control over their own departments and will make their own appointm- m One of the Chief aim.- in the preparation .of t is-lation, was to eliminate the ei{-repeated charge in the past eight year that bi-par-tisan boards were that in name ojtly. No announcement has been made as to wrh t divisions will be grouped in 'the various departments, but it was understood the state police, the al obolic lu verages section, the adjutant general and the clemency commission probably will be left with the executive department. A separate bill has been prepared to replace the office of Attorney General on the ballot. The measure will provide that effective upon its signature, the Governor, Secretary of State and the Auditor of State, or a majority of them if they cannot agree, shall name an Attorney General to serve until the second Monday. in January, 1943. An Attorney General would be elected in the 4942 election, sos a. period of two years, and upon the expiration of that term the office would be again a fouryear tenure. Attention was being called, during t&e week, to a suggestion by Mr. Bobbitt in which he advocated joint sessions <|f the majority and minority leaders in both branches of the Assembly with the appropriations committees and the state budget commit! insider appropriations for the educational and other institutions the state. It is imperative, Mr. Bobbitt said, that these appropriations be agreed up6p in order not to hamper operation of the institutions and to prevent their appropriations being caught in a last minute legislative jam or political controvery in the Assembly.

If permit, a cement feeding platform for adult swine Is a good Investment. | Old straw piles may harbor the May beetle grubs which carry thornhead worms, while manure plies may spread pig lungworms through infested earth worms. Partly decomposed horse or cattle carcasses or their skeletons may carry deadly disease germs to growing pigs.

| Deep dust in hog sheds is one of the most prolific sources of pneumonia and other trouble Such-sheds should have the floor spaded out and refilled with . clean clay, tamped and rolled. Surveys by government field work ers have clearly shown that pigs raised under sanitary surroundings gained as omuch as a fourth'of a pound per day more; and consumed less feed than pigs on unclean premises.’ This alone should be argument enough for good swine sanitation to say nothing of losses from bacteria and parasites.
