A New Dawning As one reexamins last Tuesday’s election results, he is forced to wonder if there \ isn't a new dawning in Indiana politics — 'even in Kosciusko county. This election saw some most unusual things. One saw the Republican South Bend Tribune endorse its Democratic candidate. John Bradamas. Qne saw the arch-Republican Indianapolis Star, Indiana’s largest and most fierce newspaper, endorse Roger I). Branigin for Governor. And in Kosciusko county most school elections saw students voting in mock elections opposite their parents on election day:. Indiana had a Democratic Governor

Waiting For The "PAYOUT"

To great numbers of people, the words “oil well” conjures- up a vision straight out of the movies. They see a ' fhxxl of black gold shooting into the sky while the lucky operators, Who are about _tp’becomemillionaires, pound each others Hacks and dance about in unrestricted'glee. Well, this has happened in real life but not often. r . To begin with, it becomes more and more costly to drill for oil and, despite the pi-ogress made in. geology, only about one wildcat well in nine produces any oil at all ami the rest are a total loss. On top of that, the oil people often . have to wait a long, long time for what is known as the “payout” — the period required for a field to produce enough oil or . gas t<> pay for drilling and operating expenses. The oil companies which are oper-

Making The Wheels Go Round

No element of the economy is so generail) misunderstood as protits. — their size .and their importance. The'Chamber of Ommerce of the Unital States points out that, according to the average American believes that, profits amount to 25 per cent or even more per dollar of sales. Ihe actual figure is about 5 per cent. Putting it another way, last vear our national income was $175.2 billion. Corporate profits, after taxes, came to just $27.1 billion of this. Byway of comparision, compensation of employees totaled $340.4 billion. Manv a heavy tome has been written about profits, what they are. and what thev do. They are not. of course, confined

THE j HOOSIER DAY By FRANK A. WHITE A TOPIC OF SOBER and intense discussion by my associates in the Press Club and other prominent persons with whom 1 have had contact is whether the one-sided election spelled death to the Republican party. History records that an election spelled-demise of the Whig Party, a forerunner of the GOP. But from the ashes of this debacle, the Republican party arose with vigor to carry 11 Mates in 1956. History of our two major political parties is studded with appellations of contempt, such as Miigwamp Alonquin Indian term, and tlx? Know Nothings. There have been premature wakes conducted over both our political parties in the past We have read of the throes of the party of Abraham Lincoln and it almost split asunder over reconstruction policies in 1872. It was predicted freely that when Teddy Roosevelt

formed the Bull Moose, third party in 1912. the. GOP was finished. Others thought the GOP was finished by the terrible depression of the 19305, wrongfully tacked on Her- , bert Hoover, a Republican president. Some said that Franklin D. Roosevelt. with his New Deal, had written an epitaph for the GOP. Yet, it reformed and elected Dwight D. Eisenhower. President. IN THE HEVDEY of its youth, the GOP attracted the bulk of farmers. laborers, the middle class and I Negroes. .There has been erosion since.

and two Democratic U. S. Senators and a Republican General Assembly in Indianapolis before the election: now it still has a Democratic Governor and two Democratic U. S. Senators, but a Democratic General Assembly. And what’s more, most of the state s congressmen are Democratic. Is Indiana a Republican state or a Democratic state? dt is fairly certain that Hoosier voters in general approved of the programs of Governor Welsh, Senator Hartke and President Johnson and want their type of progress in government to continue in Indi..na and Washington.

But their net income from production has been only $52.7 million. So they have $167 million to go to get their money back. That, at the present rate, will take 11 years.

parison of those eligible to vote and those who did exercise the, franchise. Regardless of all the mistakes, rightfully or wrongfully accredited to either of the major parties, almost 70 million Americans turned out to vote in the election of November 3, 1964. Third parties have not fared well. Unquestionably there will be re-aiign-ments of conservatives and liberals, in regard to parties American political parties have and will survive wars, epidemics, depressions. and assassinations. Those who say that the Republican J party is dead after suffering ignominious defeat this time have not read history. REPUBLICANS ARE NOT the only ones confronted with reorganiza- ! tion. While it turned out that Frank McHale, former Democratic national | committeeman. was right in terming J Roger D. Branigin a “natural” in the Governor’s race, Branigin did not do it all. ; The foundation had been laid by i the Matthew E Welsh political machine. The Hoosier Day often had commented that the political machine of Welsh and of J. Manfred Core, Democratic state chairman, was the most potent since the days of Paul V. McNutt. Branigin tried to put Bth District Democratic Chairman Gordon St. Aneglo in Core’s spot, but Governor Welsh squelched this design. It is possible that St Angelo, who managed Branigin’s campaign, may become the state chairman. However. Branigin has said there will be a job for Core. By the middle of Branigin’s term, look for U. S. Senator Birch Bayh. backed by the Young Democrats, to make a sizeable bid to take over the reins of the Indiana Democratic party. Or it may be Bayh and U. S. Senator Vance Hartke. who piled up an impressive vote in the November 3 election. Bhofm IXXMU.

"RIDIN6" MORE HUN A HORSE!

Dear Amy: I always wanted to take up horseback riding, so recently I went to a local stable and took lessons. My instructor says I’m coming along fine, but my husband objects. One day he says it’s dangerous; the next day he says it costs too much. It was then I reminded him about his golf and tennis. Yon see, we DO have the money! One Sunday I took him to the stables and made him watch me. He complained of an awful headache and went home. Bob, the stableboy, gave me a lift home. Now my husband says I ride well and should continue, but I feel this isn’t really what he meant to say. How can I make him talk? Novice Dear Novice: Don’t try to analyse what your husband says and what he means. Because if you keep ‘riding’ him, you will have a more annoying problem: How to shut him up! • o • Dear Amy: I share my apartment with a woman who is very inquisitive about my affairs — mail, visitors, telephone calls, etc. Recently a man called to see me on confidential business. For the sake of privacy, I spoke to him in the hall and was later criticized for it. Under the circumstances, what else could I do? Adriane Dear Adriane: Nosy people must be treated with rudeness. They know no other language. Your friends, business or social, should be welcome in your home, even though it entails telling your roommate to exit. If she doesn’t like it, find yourself a more congenial person to share your apartment • • • Dear Amy: We’re newlyweds that have been married for three months. My wife is very immature and still insists on taking her pet cat to bed with her. This drives me crazy because I can’t stand cats, and furthermore, he sleeps between the two of us. Everytime I complain about it, she gives me the “Honey, Dearie” routine and the three of us go to bed.

Hunting Season Starts Tuesday, Nov. 10 For the first five days of this year's small game season, which began Tuesday, Nov. 10, Indiana sportsmen allowed the opportunity of harvesting native game species on state fish and game areas before the artificial stocking program begins. There will be no fee charged for the first five days of the hunt, but after that, a $3 00 per day fee will be charged those hunters who choose to participate in the “put and take” program on certain portions of each area. Other units will remain unstocked for hunting free of charge. The increased number of state fish and game areas, the low license fee. and the. increased number of hunters makes it necessary to institute , a charge for put and take hunting; Two' pen raised birds will be released for every hunter participating in the program every day and sportsmen will be allowed two

Need I say more? What am I supposed to do? Pet-ed and Peaved Dear Pet-ed: Are you kidding! You’re supposed to put the cat out with the empty milk bottles. A MAN doesn’t let a cat get his goat (or his roost either)! o o o Dear Amy: My husband and I are quite friendly with a certain couple. I have had them for dinner at our house occasionally and they have invited us to Weir home also. When they are at our house, I really go all out and senre steak or turkey with all the trimmings, but when we go there, they serve us hot dogs or hamburgers. I often think they really don’t want us over otherwise they would serve a little nicer. Should I accept their next invitation or not? Mrs. Wondering Dear Mrs. Wondering: If you and your husband enjoy their company, certainly accept their invitation. Friendship isn’t based on who senes the most expensive meal. Take a lesson from your friend. She has learned the art of entertaining inexpensively and I see nothing wrong in her choice of food for an informal get-together. • * * Dear Amy: We have friends who are stuck-up. One of them teases her hair and thinks it’s very gorgeous. But it really isn’t! She thinks she’s beautiful.. But she really isn’t! She also cheats at ball and every other game we play. But she says she doesn’t! How can we tell her to act and look like we do? A&B Dear A AB: Just tell her. But I doubt that your well meaning efforts will do any good. A girl who ‘isn’t’ and says she ‘doesn’t* needs more of a jolt than you can give her to deflate her ego. • • • Address all letters to: AMY ADAMS C/o THIS NEWSPAPER For a personal reply enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

pheasants ... of either sex. Seven areas offering put and take hunting are effected by this ruling and sportsmen are allowed three hunts on any or all of the areas. The cost of raising pheasants and about a 20% increase in hunters makes it impractical to continue offering put-and-take pheasants at a cost to hunters of the standard, 32.50 combined hunting and fishing license. Game managers explain that it cost about $2.25 to raise a pheasant from a chick to maturity and with more than 48,000 pheasant hunting efforts to Ipok forvvard to this year, the cost of providing birds at no additional cost is prohibitive. , Charges have been in effect off most state areas for some time for boat rentals, boat launching, and for use of duck blinds and goose pits.

GOP, I ~ DEBT FREE The Indiana Republican Party came out of the 1964 election debtfree and ready to begin building for the 1966 and 1968 campaigns. Republican State Chairman Robert N. Stewart said today. This contrasted with a $300,000 debt which burdened the party after the last Presidential election in 1960. •‘For nearly four years after the Nixon-Parker defeat we were saddled with a tremedous debt which prevented us from building for future elections,” Stewart said. The Columbus Republican, who has been State Chairman for the past 18 months, said he was still trying to pay off the party’s debt last spring which completely tied his hands in preparing for the 1964 election. “This is not the case today,’’ Stewart said, “because responsible party leadership in the counties met their financial obligations.” Stewart praised the county, and district chairmen who spurred the finance drive this fall. He said that over 50% of the counties in the state had met fund quotas without the patronage which financed the massive publi city campaign of the Democrat party. Stewart said his next act will be to get the party’s 39 state senators and representatives together. He said he would call them to state headquarters in Indianapolis before ttt*e end of the month to organize for the 1965 legislature. The chairman said he would have one branch in the ipoming and the other in the afternoon and invite both groups to have lunch together. “I have talk with many of the legislators and they already are planning to be a vocal minority,” Stewart said. At last count the Republicans totaled 21 Representatives and 18 Senators. Stewart also said he is now studying appointment of three task forces to examine the future of the Indiana Republican Party, He

Evans, NIPSCO Warsaw district manager, said that total local taxes paid by the utility in Kosciusko Gjunty in 1964 amounted to $240,126, of which $75,432 went to the city of Warsaw.
