Cost of the Constitutional Convention. Of course it will cost something to secure a new constitution for Indiana. But the cost of constitutional revision is the necessary and inevitable price of progress and growth in every commonwealth. Legislative sessions each two years are expensive propositions, but they are indispensable accompaniments of state government. But not more so than periodical revisions of the constittuion. Progress in government and methods of administration would be impossible under iny other system. The people of Indiana are willing to pay the price of progress. They are not concerned so much in what they pay, as in what they get. The state is spending about $3,000,000 a year on roads and bridges. Our state and county government each cost more than $10,000,000 annually, and more than $15,000,000 goes to administer the governments of our cities. There were township road bonds outstanding on December 31, 1911, amounting to $23,441,352, all used to provide modern substitute for the corduroy and creek bottom roads of the generation that made the present constitution. We are paying $8,000,000 a year for our public school system. Compared to such vast expenditures in the public welfare how insignificant the ho less nec

essary expense of securing a new constitution once in 63 years to bring our methods of government abreast of the times ! The material benefits to come from constitutional revision in Indiana on the financial side alone would be so enormous as to sink the cost into insignificance. A proper readjustment of our taxation system would effect a saving many times greater than this in a single year, and at the same time would place our enrmous tax burden where it properly belongs. Against the tax situation alone the expense argument is worth no consideration at all. The present unnecessary cost imposed upon the people of Indiana by inefficient and extravagant state government, inevitable under our inadequate constitution, makes

even the exaggerated estimate of the cost of a new constitution look small indeed. The improvement of our municipal government by an efficient modern system of home rule for cities would unquestionably result in a large annual reduction in cost of administration of city government. Experts have declared that the waste incident to our present political system of administration of city government amounts to from 10 to 50 per cent per year. Using the lowest factor, a new constitution could be made the means of saving Indiana cities in a single year more than the cost of the convention. An effective workmen's compensation act, now so common in the other industrial states, would effect a large reduction in the cost of administering our courts, to say nothing of the vast sums it would divert from the pockets of lawyers to the direct relief of the injured workers and their dependent families. But the more important benefits to come from a constitutional convention can not, and should not, be measured by dollars and cents standards. The progressive political and social legislation that would eventually result from it; the stimulus it would give to the study of public questions ; the awakening of interest on the part of the people in the big problems of citizenship, are much the larger factors.

AMOLOX THE NEW DISCOVERY

Many Cures Reported Dally In Towns Where It Is Known.

The wonderful cures that are being made by this remarkable new remedy are almost beyond belief. A young lady from Ottumwa, la., for many years suffered from a bad case of eczema. Her face was a sight to behold; all covered with red blotches, pustules and pimples. So unsightly was her appearance she gave up all social life. Failing to find relief with doctors and remedies, she became despondent and discouraged. After a few weeks' treatment with Amolox the scaly redness disappeared, pustules healed and she was entirely cured. A few months following her mother wrote that Amolox had done wonders for her daughter, and she was married last week. Seems like a fairy tale, doesn't It? Yet this is the truth. This is only one Of the many cases that are being reported in towns where Amolox has been introduced and Its merits have become known. Amolox Is invaluable for eczema, psoriasis, acne, tetter, barber's itch, red nose or any skin affliction. n...AM.nAilAt nd ffiiarontaAil hv A

The Trust v is making every effort to prevent intelligent housewives from giving Calumet Baking Powder a trial, and using her own judgment, because it knows her verdict will be in favor of modern goods. Smart housewives resent the recent "Warnings" by the Royal Baking Powder Company (the trust) posing as a "Protector." Since the decision of the Remsen Board, the highest scientific authority of the U. S. (see Bulletin U. S. Department of Agriculture No. 103, April 29, 1914), housewives no longer trust the Trust. The Trust shows it fears a modern product at a fair price. The manufacturers of old style baking powders would have housewives believe no improvement has been made in baking powder for 50 years. At the same time, they are bitterly fighting all new processes and better materials in baking powder manufacture. The Trust "Warns" against our lady demonstrators. We ask you to see the demonstration and judge for yourself. Learn why Calumet carried Highest Awards at the National Pure Food Expositions. Then you will understand their silly attack against white of ccg. Calumet

Baking Powder contains nothing but what is endorsed by the U. S. Food Authorities in official capacities. Calumet is manufactured in the largest and finest baking powder factory in the world. A trial can proves its perfect leavening qualities. The grocer refunds your money if Calumet fails to give better results. Millions of smart housewives use and highly praise Calumet only. The Trust aims to "protect" their high prices of 45 or 50c a pound (about twice what you should be asked) and seeks to conceal the large quantities of Rochelle Salts their goods leave in food. Refuse this Insincere " Protection." Protect Yourselves, Calumet Baking Powder Co.

A HAPPY CHILD III JUST A FEW HOURS

If Cross, Feverish, Constipated, Give "California Syrup of Fig" Mothers can rest easy after giving "California Syrup of Figs," because in a few hours all the clogged-up waste, sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, and they become tightly packed, liver gets sluggish and stomach disordered. When cross, feverish, restless, see if tongue is coated, then give this delicious "fruit laxative." Children love it, and it can not cause injury. No difference what ails your little one if full of cold, or a sore throat, diarrhoea, stomach ache, bad breath, remember, a gentle "inside cleansing" should always be the first treatment given. Full directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are printed on each bottle. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Fig Syrup," then look carefully and see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company." We make no smaller size. Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup. Advt.
