: Steady Decline in Relief. A steady decline in direct relief ioads was reported by Warne Coy, state relief director, with & forecast that the new yelfare program will enable further decreases. v “Since the new WPA program is expected to extend through the fiscal year 1936-37, and the new welfare program will take care of many dependents, a safe forecast for the coming period would be iighter relief burdens to be borne from local than during 1935-36.” v Wall Paper—-Kniichts” Drug Store.

- SIGNS OF THESE TIMES. | ” By Dudley A. Smith. Sifting the campaign charges and counter-charges in Indiana, any person with a moment of sobey reflection must agree that the “outs” who want “in” are either growing hysterical or else gre playing the grand hokem game , with discontented minority groups which they hope, altogether, will swing them enough votes to gain office.

To make such political hash of of vital, throbbing human questions of government and society is to play the demagogue and to revive campaign tactics that were used in the days before men. and women could read and write as well as they can today. It is a pitty that real problems of our state and nation cannot be discussed dispassionately and without appeal to violent prejudices But that is the old political campaign formula written in frontier days and kept alive for fcrty years in Indiana by that sort of political leader which is typified in Ex-Sena-tor James E. Watson.

In the present Indiana campaign, Ex-Senator Watson, lobbyist for the Sugar Trust and Big Business, is staging a great come-back performance. He set the stage for the artificial popularity of Governor wuandon in Indiana and reckoned not with the superior record of Governor Paul V. McNutt. He and his benchmen wrote the republican state platform which is so "contradictory to the naticnal republican platform that campaign managers have hidden it.

In the time-honored Wawson manaer, Raymuond S. Sp.iger twice republican nominee for governor, 18 now playing to the gallaries of the discontented minorities, hurling unsubstantiated charges at ihe present state administration and avoiding wery current issue of vita! interest ‘o the people of the state. He even reglects to point to the past “glories’ of former republican administrator in Indiana and has not yet mentioned the names of James P. Goodrich, Ed Jackson, Clyde Walb and D. C. Stephenson.

What doeg Mr. Springer have to say about Social Security, pensions for the aged and the blind, labo:c right to collective bargaining with leade's of their own choosing, about the soil conservation prgram and the farmer’'s right to the protection and assistance of his government? Whatever he might say in the future on these subjects will fail to accord with the Watson-made republican state platform, for Mr. Watson wasn't thinking of such absurd questions when he had the rchab.ican state piatform written. He was making an appeal for support of Big Business and he got it. !

Mr. Springer promised (o upset the whole tax program of Indiana for the gratification of a mincrity eroup of discontents, but to the end of the campaign he will nc. be able to explain to the people o° Indiana the details of his substitute program. He dares not tell working peop.e and small wage earners that he plans to give them asales tax. He dares not tell business and industry tnal he will boost their net income Lixes to twenty-eight per cent or more. He dares mnot suggest that he will. add & multitude of nuisances and lusury .axes to take pennies away from children. He caunnot "exn'ain Lk w bhe can keep 20,000 criminal, insane and sick wards of the state in institutions and 800,000 children in public scho>ls by doing away with the tax revenues whicli “ support these ‘institutions.

1t is apparent on the very face of Mr. Springer’s utterances and upon the wording of the republican state platform, that they hold forth te voters of Indiana the distinct promise that they will take over a stac: government that is soual and we'l-qr-dered financially and will bankrupt it _Jhere is nothing so certain as the fact that .the . Springer-republican program . will throw the fiscal atfairs of Indiana into the red and cfi_fig a tax miess that would rival

'the ‘Chicago dilemma which icit thousands of public schooi teachers without salaries for two and three years. Mr. Springer hag charged the McNutt administration with having a dictatorship but cannot poin:¢ to a ‘singlo act that did not have Lhe maJority approval of the true repr~ sentatives of the people. It M, Springer can understand the wording of Indiana’s constitution, he can understand that it is not even possible for a governor of Indiana to suc‘céed himself, much less to become a dictator of the slightest degree.

It is easy to hurl violent charges and generdlities but it is another thing when Mr. Springer and Watson puppets are called upon to give the voters a bill of particulars. They cvan't do it either as to their tax promises of as to their accusations. 3 Get Terms At Reformatory Wilbur Wallace and Clyde Knott of Kendallvile and vicinity and Willard Knott of Fort Wayne each 25 years of age appearing bef're Judge Kod McNagny in the Whitley circujt 2ourt at Columbia City pleaded gulity to robbery and were given g 19 to 25 year prison term which was suspended.

Wallace and Clyde Knoit also pleaded guilly to second degree burglarly and were sentenced to the reformatory for 2 to 5 years. ‘Willard Knott entered g plea of guilty to grand larceny and was senlenced to 1 to 10 years at the reformatory. The trio had been ctgeged in holding up petting particrs during rthe summer, but the specific charge preferred against them was for the highway robbery of Russel Haney, near Avilla, in June, in which they secu:ed $2O in money and a $5O check.

Landon Train Passed Through Here Worn out+by his four days of intensive campaigning in the east and by big receptions given him all along the line as his Sunshine Special, Kansas bound, passed through upstate New York, Monday night, Governor Alf M. Landon, republican presidential - candidate, remained asleep as his train passed through Ligonier Tuesday morning. T

A five minute stop was made in Elkhart at nine o'glock and a crowd of some 400 or 500 persons which had gathered at the station was disappointed when the governor did not appear. The train was an hour and a half late.

$15,100,000 TO BE DISTRIBUTED

Money From Gross Income Tax For Old Age, Blind and Chil%ren’s Ald .

An estimated $15,100,000 will be distributed during 1937 from gross income tax collections to local governments for the state’'s share ol teacher’s salaries and old age, blind and children’s assistance, Gov. Paul V. MdNutt gnnounced. The estimate followed an announce ment by McNutt that the state wouid distribute $5OO per teacher ‘to the schools in 1937 increasing that distributjon to $10,100,000. Old .age, blind and chlidren’s assistance was estimated to cost the state $5,000,000 during 1937, * The governor pointed . out that funds for social security activity will go into the more populous counties, tending to equalize the distribution of gross income tax funds.

On the basis of school distribution alone the larger industrial ceniers pay more to the state than is returned, while in smaller counties tax payments to the siate virtuaily are equalized by the gross income tax distribution for teacners’ salaries

McNutt estimated a larger yield from the gross income tax during the 1936-37 fiscal year, as compared to collections totalling $16,540,000 during the 1935-36 fiscal year. Approximately $2,240,0000 of the total was collected from persons earning money in Indiana but living out of the state, it was said. ‘" Oh H-E-N-R-Y
