BRITAIN OPENS 8 CASH TILLS TO REPENTERS

LONDON. (UP) The British government's “conscience fund” is the most expensive revenue received and the exchequer would frown on all anonymous contributions if it were not for the moral effect, which, it is admitted, is priceless. | This fund averages about $10,000 a year and is so called because subjects whose consciences have been pricked but who lack the courage to reveal their identity, pay tin after cheating the government. • j However, although the British public does not know this, the official | “conscience fund” includes only a part of the payments made to the government from promptings of conjscience. If the anonymous doner makes any reference, however oblique. to income tax which he has evaded paying and for which ho seeks to make restitution, his contribution is promptly turned over to the inland revenue and is. for purely departmental reasons, excluded from tin oflieiul “conscience fund,” all of which is earmarked for “miscellaneous receipts.’ It is believed that such contributions frequently exceed the annual "conscience fund.” though no figures are made available. If that be true. , then apparently something like $20.j 000 would be nearer the mailc as

Purdue Dean Praises Fair As School Room For Hoosiers

LAFAYETTE, Ind.—Dean Skinner of the Agriculture Department of Purdue University highly praised the Indiana State Fair in a news release this week. Dean Skinner, one of the nation’s foremost agricultural authorities, said, “The Indiana State Fair for more than 80 years has served as the show window of Indiana agriculture, a place to exhibit the best from farm, feed lot, (kUI, orchard, garden and home. This show window—the State Fair—is changed from year to year the same as any other show window and is not the same each year. Through ali these years faithful Hoosiers and many from other states have been going to Indianapolis every year to see the best that the state produces. They have studied the exhibits of livestock, grain, fruits, vegetables, canned foods, cakes, pies, flowers, and of art, both fine and applied, and from these studies have come to quite a degree the constantly rising standards of production and quality in our state. The State Fair has been a gigantic school room for thousands upon thousands who have thronged the fairgn*:nds from year to year and gained something of value.” Praises Boy’s and Girl’s Work “During the last 15 .years the exhibits by 4-H club boys nnd girls have taken their places until they constitute a highly important part of the fair. The State Fair Girls School has assumed a place of importance undreamed of when it was first started and the boys 4-H club camp has risen to a point where attendance has had to be limited in keeping with the facilities. “Besides all the competitive exhibits and the work of 4-H club members, the commercial displays have unusual value. The educational exhibits of Purdue and Indiana Universities are distinct assets to the fair. The attendants in charge of all of the commercial and educational displays really have something worthwhile to offer and they make a real contribution to the fair. “The entertainment program offered at the Indiana State Fair is second to none, even including the Grand Circuit races which always bring to Indianapolis some of the best horses in America.” Dates for the 1936 State Fair are September 5 to 11, inclusive.

Johnny J. Jones Shows Boohed For State Fair Midway

Johnny J. Jones’ Exposition has been booked for the entire week of the Indiana State Fair and will occupy the popular midway. All shows and rides will begin operation at 10:00 A. M. opening day, Saturday, September 5th. The Jones’ shows, billed as “The Mighty Monarch of the Tented World” will unload 22 high-class feature shows in addition to numerous rides and concessions at the 84th annual State Fair. The Indiana Board of Agriculture, the governing body of the Fair under the direction of Lieutenant Governor M. Clifford Townsend, Commissioner, have made it their particular business to see that all exhibitors and entertainers are at their respective places to start the Fair off with a “hang” at 10:00 A. M. opening day. They have been assured by the Jones’ shows they will be set up and ready to go when the gates open.

representing the government’s total annual receipts from civic repent-

ance.

However, concealed resolutely from the public eye in the most hidden archives of the inland revenue is a third—believed to be the largest— source of similar income. Those are payments of back Income tax openly made by distressed tax-dodg-ers who. for one reason or another, want to “come dean.” It is generally known that the inland revenue treats with great consideration the donors of such “windfalls,” but no reference is ever made to such receipts in the annual reports and nobody will even hazard a guess as to the annual average total. It is believed that the 'conscience fund” has existed from the beginnings of income tax, which was 1798, or at any rate, from the beginning of peacetime income tax, which was 1842, but this is a chapter of British fiscal experience which has not yet been written. Favorite device of donois is to enclose Bank of England notes, in complete unawareness that their anonymity is thereby endangered, for the Bank of England has a large staff keeping full records of the distribution of these notes to the hanks and the banks in turn keep, very laborini sly, full records of the persons who drew them, so that the government, if it cared to, could come close to tracing the donor. But it never bothers to and contents itself with putting a little paragraph In the Times acknowledging the receipt.

WARN AMATEUR ELECTRICIANS Death of a three year old Indiana boy caused by the use of a homemade electric fencing unit last week is an impressive argument to discourage the use of all such homemade electrical equipment A survey conducted by C. N. Hinkle of the agricultural engineering department of Purdue university, shows that there are over 500 elecrical fencing units in the state. The introduction of the commercial fencing units has caused many farmers to try their own luck at building similar projects. Most of the home-made outfits have ben constructed by hooking the hot wire of a 110-volt line directly to the fence or by first running the current through a light buln ant' then to the fence. Nine hogs, a horse, a bull and a dog have been killed by these home made outfits, according to reports. Tests show that 30 milliamperes of current flowing through a hog will cause its muscles to contract and would result in death by asphyxiation in a few minutes if not released. A dog was killed on a fence which had the current controlled by a 7’^ watt bulb. Two boys touched a wire which had the current flow controlled by a 10-watt bulb and they were unable
