scrub oak trees and some shifting sand hills. Possibly half a dozen town lots may now be obtained for the two million dollars, If the true owner is found, to receive the money. Recently the courts ubout these dunes have been filled with claimants of this land. Some swore they had lived their for over twenty years in adverse possesi.m, n-ady to defend their title with a shot-gnu and half a dozen ih't:s covered with th an, while others said they bought a tax title in the year Chicago was burned and that they had paid taxes ever since and were the true owneis.

RAILROADS HIT HARD The railroads of the United States. a'.n.o.t without exception, are finding it necessary to curtail the number of workers, and this action id adding many thousands to the lists of unemployed. Shutting down of many large industries has had the double effect of stopping freight shipments on raw materials to the mills, sind of the finished products of these mills. Less than one year ago, the railroads found It impossible to meet the demands on the transportation facilities of the nation; now th are experiencing the other extreme of practicaly cutting their service in half because of lack of business. Railroad managers can only conserve as much as possible, even to the extent of making further reductions in operating forces if necessary. They believe that the time is coming, probably within a few weeks, when the demands upon the transtortation lines will again be taxed almost to the breaktrig point. Conditions which have brought about a great reduction In freight business have operated to a considerable degree in cutting down the passenger business, and many local trains have -been temporarily discontinued out of large manufacturing centers. Persona out of employment may have plenty of time to travel, but most it them find that the cost is another matter.

THESE SAND DUNES 1J Governor McCray goes down to posterity a9 tne ttian who made it possibly for the State of Indiana to possess a park 6ystem, he will have achieved sufficient tame to permit him to retire to his country home at .he end of his administration amid the plaudits of the State and possibly of the Nation. This would be done, however, in a safe ana sane manner and bo as not to make any unusual burden on r.he taxpayer. The average citizen is willing to put up with a great deal, especially if done in the name of law and if there is a come-back to him that his own legislator did it. Parks should be established.; the movement is worthy and the State is just awakening to the fact that it possesses the material for a wonderful rystera. The automobile and an occasional. Jov-rlde did it. The sand dunes of northern Indiana are "peculiar ; s hey are so novel that they should be preserved as a park and the suggestion of the Governor that the State supply a million dollars and private part!e3 supply another million and purchase a site is good. The funny part of the entire matter i3 that there ihould be a need of two million dollars. Until the town, now city of Gary, was discovered by the United States Steel Corporation these same dunes were a drug cn the market, produced little and consisted of a few

SAME THING HERE The cat stems to be creeping out of th" !a:, and State Superintendent of Public' Inst met ion Mines, who i. the author and promoter of the school levy bill and the manner of the fund's distribution, is up against a rather enibarrasing situation. It Is boldly charged ;:nd rather conclusively proved, that the proposed method of distribution under the Willis bill, which is Mines' bill, would discriminate viciously against the larger cities of the state and in favor of the smaller ones. "i o illustrate, Allen county would contribute at the rate of 4 2 cents and get back only 22, whereas the counties with smaller population would get. back, considerably more than they put in. And they would get it, too, without reference to their wealth or the ability of their people to bear their own burdens. Thus Montgomery county, the home county of Mines, and its county seat, Crawfordsville, would pay in something like 10 cents r,n dget back something like 15. Yet Montgomery county and Crawfordsville are among the wealthiest in the whole state. There seems to be a very shifty gentleman working somewhere In jthis school legislation matter and it would be well to have every step narrowly watched. There Is that about it which doesn't look good and which isn't good. Fort Wayne News.

RIGHT TO CARRY ARMS The editor of a contemporary, in discussing the proposal to take firearms away from the people in order to disarm bandits and robbers, expresses a fear that such action might interfere with the constitutional right of the people to "keep and bear arms." The right to which reference is made is a puotation from the second amendment to the constitution of the United States, which reads: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms Bhall not be Infringed." It appears extremely doubtful if this amendment to the constitution was Intended to preserve the right of any individual to maintain an arsenal in hia home or to carrying it abroad. It surely did, not mean that any person should be encouraged to keep weapons that would aid him in the commission of crime. The facts that the term, "a well regulated militia," is used in the amendment would indicate that the right to "keep and bear arms" is not an Individual right, but. ono of a collective character, given through a rtgu'ar organization for the protection of the state, as is plainly indicated by the ordlng o fthe amendment. Bandits will get pistols and other weapons for their thievish and murderous uses, ro the only plan that teems to be feasible is to round up the cro 1. and d'sarm them. Thtre is nothing to fear from law-abiding citizens, even if they should provide themselves with weapons in se;f-defe.r.e. The crook who is permitted to run at large will find weapons to carry on his criminal work, regardless of any laws that may be passed.
