PLAN PILGRIMAGE Scottish Kite Masons of the order's ninth district which includes Vigo, Clay, (ireene, Owen, Spencer, I'u'.nai i and Sullivan counties, arc planning a “pilgrimage to the new cathedral” at Indianapolis, which has become a popular innovation since recent successful trips of similiar character by the Madison County Scottish Kite Club and delegations from Newcastle and

Monticello.

Arrangements for the ninth district journey are being directed by John K. Hunter, of Terre Haute, district chairman, and he is being assisted by county and local chairmen including Austin M. Shattuck, of Brazil, Clay county chairman; Elmer Sherwood, of Bloomington, for Greene; l^ewi- K. Hubbard, 'f Spencer, for Owen; Milt Brown, of Greenca-tle, for Putnam; Cecil J. Jennings, of Sullivan for Sullivan; Conrad J. Herbor, of Terre Haute, for Vigo. These chairmen also have the assistance of local members and workers in the various towns of the district and a large party is expected to make the trip which is scheduled for Feb. 10. it is explained that the plan of the "pilgrimage” includes a dinner at the cathedral, witli dancing between the cour.-os, together with special entertainment features, later a trip of inspection through the new home for those who have not previously seen it, radio programs in the spacious lounge, closing with dancing in the grand hall room. These arc supplemental Hips to the dictrict meeting- which were so succeftsful last summer and fall, hut they also include the women folk who at that time were not present as the sessions were of business character. The “pilgrimages” while in the interest of the plans for the coming spring convocations and reunion of the order, March 24 and 26, are also designed to give the membership f urthor acquaintance with the wide facilities of the cathedral as a club home where special courtesies have been provided for the women folk. For the coming trip members have liecn asked to invite blue lodge Masons as guests, KOHHIVS APPEAR Groundhog and robin adherents are having an argument over which is the greatest harbinger of spring.

I IME TO HALT I he prx-ent session of the Indiana Indiana legi laturc appears doomed to do hot littl to relieve the tax payers of the state. A half dozen hills have been introduced which will tend to in-crea.-e taxes, and none has been ser iousiy considered that will reduce expense- and thus reduce taxes. The people of Indiana need mot expect a tax leduction until there is n reduction in expenses. One cannot go without the other. The main question now seems to he to find more ways ot raising taxes to meet the ever in-erea-ed exnenses of state county and

other units.

When one considers that true total of all state, county, township, city, town and school corporation expenses for the fiscal year of 1928-29 in Ind lana wa- the appalling total of $227,933,040.31, it appears to he about

time to diaw a halt.

This expenditure came from the pockets of the tax payers, 'lit came mostly from real estate and other tangible pro| erty. The expenses have increased from year to year, and unless something drastic comes along, they will continue to increase It is time for the legislators to consider a halt, and it i s time for the officials <d Indiana, from every taxing unit, to consider means of reducing expenses, rather than increase them and laying j awake trying to devise some mew -chemo to rai-o additional tax mon-

ies.

If Indiana got one hundred cents value for eyery dollar spent, there might lx- it reduction in taxes for the coming years.

BILL INTRODUCED

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 3. (UP) - Removal from the state hoard of education and the state superintendent the right to revoke the commission of a high school because of the condition of the school building is provided in

KOI.It K DRIVE KAKKEKS TO INNS SEATTLE, Feb., 3, (UP)—The mystery of the crowded parking lot adjoining roadhouse- and chicken dinner inns has been solved. Back in the old days, young lover-u.-ed to park their buggies along the highway, but now they park along the roadhouses and inns, and it’s all because state highway patrolmen chase them off the highways. “Too dangerous to have a lot of these car- cluttering up the roadsides,” maintains ('apt, Owen McGill. “Much better to have them all parked off the road at a roadhouse like that." Highway patrolmen have also invaded cemeteries, driving couples iiway from there, and roadhouse parking lots have become the only safe havens for necking parties. All roadhouses seem to have about the same activity -on the outside. At the more expensive places, the back seats of limousine- are popular—girls yvith elaborate, long dresses; young men with nice clothes, sometime- in dinner jackets. Roadhouse proprietors complain of poor business, hut from the appearance of parked car- the place- should he crowded.
