H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau. “The perplexing problems we are trying to solve will remain unseolved until the constitution is changed.” The broadcast will be over station W F B M, Indianapolis on Thursdays at 6:50 P. M. to 7:00 P. M.; Saturdays at 6:30 P. M. to 6:4Q P. M.; Mondays at 8:00 P. M. to 8:10 P. M.; and occasionally other days of the week at 12:25 P. M. to 12:35 P. M. State Farm leaders and prominent citizens of Indiana favoring a constitutional convention in 1931 will appear on the program. “If it Were possible to correct the tax inequality, adopt an economic school system, a better court procedure and apply more adequate city government under our present constitution, these corrections would have been made long ago," says Mr. Settle. “To contend that such corrections could be made without revision of our constitution would cast a reflection on our leadership and former state officials. Land owners and real estate owners will continue to carry a confiscating tax burden until the state constitution is revised.” ADDITIONAL LOCALS Mrs. Alice Tripp came from Jackson, Mich., last Wednesday, to visit her brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Will Bushong.

THIS IS NO EDITORIAL— This is not an editorial. It is an expression of opinion Gy Mrs. Harry Porter, and was called forth by the following news item in yesterday’s news: Man Who Murdered Four Escapes From Prison Tallahassee, Fla., Oct. 15. —Frank McDowell, who burned his two sisters to death at Decatur, Ga., in 1923, and killed his parents a year later because of his claim that their deaths would atone for his “unpardonable sin,” escaped from the state hospital for the insane at Chattahoochee, it was learned today. He and John Pruitt, another inmate, obtained a gun, forced a guard to liberate them and walked unmolested from the ’hospital. I want to start out by saying “I do not believe in- capital punishment.” On the evening of Feb. 19,t 1924, the news room staff of the St. Petersburg, Fla. paper, on which I was working, gave a party in honor of two reporters whose birthdays fell on that day. When we came to work the next morning, the managing editor met us with the news that Mrs. McDowell, mother of Frank and Frank’s father, had been murdered the night before. Mrs. McDowell worked on our paper. She was in the advertising department. She had always seemed friendly, and was very quiet—as the story of her death unfolded we soon guessed that was because of the tragedy which had come into her life the preceding Feb. 19. Her two daughters had been sleeping in their home in Decatur, Ga., when some one entered the room, poured oil on their bed and burned them to death. With her husband and son Frank, our fellow employe had moved to St. Petersburg, thinking, no doubt a change of scene would be better for all of them, after that tragedy. The following Feb. 19th, she was killed, together with Mr. McDowell. It wasn’t more than 24 hours, unless my memory fails me, until police had arrested Frank, of all the clues he had placed to lead them astray. - And, obligingly in time for our afternoon paper, he confessed to the killing. He was rushed to the county jail, but not before photographers obtained his photo for the paper. We commented on how very particular he was as to whether Or not his tie was straight when the camera was ready. One of the reporters in our news room followed him to the county jail, where he gave a detailed confession to ki.ling his sisters on Feb: 19, and nis parents the following year. He told hew “the little white rabbit tolc him to.” As during all sensational murder trials, hundreds of passionate pink letters were sent to this yoting man who had never worked in his life, but w&s kind enough to let his parents support him. And many who didn’t write, talked the line that “the state had no right to kill a man for merely killing others. He should

be supported by the state for the rest of his life.” Maybe it was these tolerant opinions of outsiders who had never been murdered, or maybe it was on account of the little white rabbit story by which Frank explained his actions. Anyway, the court sentenced him‘to the insane asylum in Florida, for the four murders. When the news of the verdict was wired to the office, we made bets that Frankie would be out in a year. We were wrong. It has taken him six. Six years for killing only four people. “He with John Pruitt, another inmate, obtained a gun, forced a guard to liberate them, and walked unmolested from the hospital.” I do not believe ih capital punishment. Oh, no. - For Auditor of State | ffirak I JWB M ’ S JiSi ARCHIE N. BOBBITT of English Archie N. tobbitt, Auditor of State, uncovered a system of gasoline bootlegging in Indiana that has resulted in the State being enrithed by $75,000.00 in tax payments and penalties. His relentless war against the gasoline bootlegger promises further returns. To date, Bobbitt’s collection of evaded gasoline tax already exceeds the cost of two and one-half years of administration of that law. The gasoline tax collected by Mr. Bobbitt bears the major part of financing the building of the State’s Highway System. He has collected seventy-five million dollars for the road work at a cost of only one-sixth of one cent for every dollar collected. As Auditor of the State, or the state’s bookkeeper, his duties are manifold besides administrating the gas tax law. He had reorganized his office work as . modern business management required with the result of economy in operation as well as improved public service. Whenever mechanical equipment demonstrated improved service with reduced cost, it was bought, so that the office now is conducted on a basis of business efficiency comparable to that of the largest private corporation. Mr. Bobbitt was born in Eckerty, Crawford County, and educated in the public schools there, later attending Danville Normal and the Benjamin Harrison Law Schools. He was an enlisted man in the World War. He is a member of the Christian Church, the American Legion and the Mason and Odd Fellows Orders. He is married and’his home is in English.
