THE FIGURES

A recent broadcast by the Republican whidpering. squad pointed" out figures which the whisperers woaid try to prove to -the discredit of economy claims in the state admin stration. Using the same quotations giver in this broadcast, let us see how the glander and misrepresentation fu:tered by the professional politici:is in the Republican party has b 'n brought about. 'fhe article to which we refer wus distributed by the Republicans as tol. lows: “Here are three sets of figuies which are at wide variance with ex h other: “ ‘ln the first eleven months of 1733 the total savings to the taxpayerg ol Indiana were $12,761.076 under iy administration.” From several addresses made by Governor Meliutt during January and February.” If the professional Republic ns who no longer are feeding upon ihe public but are now dependent u:;on their masters—the powerful intercsts’ —would only quote all the facts they would find no difference between the above statement and others to wh ch they later refer. For example they quote from an address by the secretary of the De.ocratic state committee, given at Cuary Feb. 13 as follows: “There was a total reduction of $6,252,200. in €. ute costs in 1933 under the administration of Governor McNutt.” While his quotation is not exactly correct ihe figure is correct. _ Had the whispering squad bothc.ed to give the true picture they wculd have founq that the figures given by .the governor, of total benefits to the taxpayers, included this item of e :n--omy as given above, as well as more than $6,000,000 returneq to the taxpayers by the state above the amount returned the previous year. The state spent $6,000,000 less and retirned :6,000,000 more in round numbers making the benefit to the taxpayers at least $12,000,000.

The Republican politicians also point to a quotation by Don Irwin, Republican state chairman who -said: “According to figures on the books of the auditor of state obtained by an experiencedq accountant total disbusements by the state in 1933, Governor McNutt’s first year, amounted to $33,743,000 an all time high exceeding by nearly a million dollarg the former high of $52,900,000 set in 1931.” . Let’s analyze that statement. Grant ing that the figures given®are subsantially correct there is. still this question: What of it? Notice that the word disbursements is used. Note that expenses are not mentioned. Why? Because expenses of the state government are millions of dollars lower. Just because the state handles more money, which it sends back to every taxing unit in the state of Indiana in increasing quantities to reduce local property taxes, is no reason why the Republican politicians should get away with an attempt to kid the public into believing that this administration is not what it is—the most economical in 16 years. There may be some who will mot bother to ask their township trustees what the state distribution of funds has meant to the schools. There may be others who refuse to see anyting good in anyting a Democrat does. But. every fair-minded voter in Indiana who bothers to look at the record will .find that the professional Republean politicians have made another sinister attempt to fool the people as they qid in the dark years preceding the presetn administration.

. Christian Science ServiCes “Matter’’” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, March 25.

Among the citations’ which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: “And there shall be gigns in the sum, and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. And when these things begin to come to pass then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21: 25; 26, 28). : : The Lesson-Sermon als) inciuded the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “This material world is even now becoming the arena for conflicting forces On one side there will be discord and dismay; on the other side there will be Science and pedace. The breaking up of material beliefs may seem to be! famine ang pestilence want and woe, sin sickness, and death, which assume new phases until their nothingnes appears. These disturbances will continue until the end of error, when. all discord will be swallowed up in spiritual Truth” (p. 96).

Re2l Things in Life.

The United Brethren Sunday school had 262 present last Sunday morning. We are happy for this number. In the evening, “The Necessity of Christ,” was discusseqd in a very interesting and helpful way by Rev. O’Reilley. The main subject for thought was, “If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is noue of His.” .

Next Sunday is Easter and we are aiming to reach the goal of 400. It can and must be dome. When we all think what the Resurrection means to us on Easter Sunday we certainly all should help reach the 400 mark, and in this way show our appreciation in Christ’s Resurrection which has made possible the saving of souls —the one inporiant thing this side of Heaven, : £
