JtiWtlC by Arthur Brisbane ONE VALUABLE IDEA GOLD, ALWAYS WELCOME EUROPE’S SOUR LOANS HICCOUGHS AND BUBBLES

Mr. Knickerbocker, exploring Ger- , many for Mr. Cyrus H. K. Curtis, ' says the German chemical formula ' for making gasoline from coal is of such gigantic value that it may l pay all German debts. That would be I good news for France and for some i _Lof our-bankers. It is not unbelieveable -A simple formula for making power out of steam enabled the British giovernment to pay with ease the load of debt carried after Waterloo, which’ was believed to be unpayable. That steam formula kept Britain at the head of the world's industry and commerce for a hundred years. One idea can do more than all of high finance. No matter what happens, ■ Laval .' says Germany will have t|o pay. France will not forego her right of reparations." Perhaps Europe will think up some plan to let the United States pay .the German reparations in case Germany can’t do it. Mexico’s government discovers ancient Aztec tombs with treasures as rich as those in the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen. Dozens of golden crowns,]! pearls enormous in size, precious stones of l all kinds, lead to the 1 belief that the hidden gold treasure of the Ingas will be- found. The Spanish cjonquerers were never.able, to discover this treasure, even by hideous torture. The discovery might change Mex-' ico suddenly to a gold-lrasis nation of the first order and fill us jail w ith profound respect . I Gold interests the world, especial ly the amount of it that India pos- ’**■***., Since England went off the gold basis India has sent hifr 3100,000,000 in gold. I ‘ Intelligent gentlemen of the Bank of France seem to accumulate most .of it. They even continue to draw on our gold reserves, and took from us 512.0db.000 gold a few days ago. | There is no doubt in the French mind as to the value of a gold basis. —— I | Mournful news comes from Europe j in installments. One of Mr Ochs’’ correspondents wires from Vienna that Austria, Bulgaria. Greece and Jugoslavs will default , on $600,000,000 of private loans made by Amer-1 ican bankers. It is a comfort to announce, on the authority of one of the ablest bank-! era, that this amount is much exag-j geraled, if it refers to private loans..: Also, if those countries decide, ir- ’ responsibly, to call off private loans, putting government loans “(ahead of ; them, they will hear of something to their disadvantage from American | bankers The bankers will, it that countries deliberately defaulting donot do any business' in thifs country until they pay what they owe. This applies to those that show had faith. Mrs. Pagan of New York shot two women, killing 'one, then shot her-1 self. The quarrel was about a man. You could hardly guests w-hat she wrote to her husband: "Take my insurance money and bury me. Give my clothes to the poor. If the two women I shot are dead, bury them. Feed our two dogs, do- not] put them on the street. Love. Youlr darling wife.’’ • I Il was truly written, in the song \ of songs, “Love is as Strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave.” Political agitation in Spaiin is of the worst kind, based on religious ha t.-ed.- .1 A mob of 3,000 gathered around I the jail.at Bilbao, intent on lynching; forty-one Catholics held as prisoners ' following the killing of four persons in a clash between Catholics and nonCatholic*. protected the Catholic prisoners, and the mob, made up , of Communists starting a general strikf, pacified by the release of two Communist prisoners, marched away : with them in triumph, waving the red flag and singing -the Internationale. On the same day at dawn crowds, attempted to liarn Catholjc churches in three towns—Moncada. Alfaro del Patiriarcho and Mazprrocho. Police and watchmen saved the churches. i Mrs. Edith Cantrell of Humphrey, Ark, suffering with hiccoughs for twenty-four days, sees relief insight.: L. P. McLaughlin, mayor of Hoti Springs, has sent her two bottles of champagne and this information: Properly iced, and in moderate doses, this wilt effect a.cure, the gas in the wine reacting against the gas in the stomach, which brings about the hfecoughs." A Chinese gentleman who calk himself Mr. Henry Pu-Yi is the plaything of fat* just now. He became Chinese emperor when -he was a ’ baby, was put off the throne by the Chinee* republic at the age of sixNew be is said to be in the hands of the Japanese, planning to use him as a dummy emperor in Manchuria, with Japanese ruling in his name. The Chinese government in Nanking orders the arrest of Henry PuYi, but the Japanese may, nevetheless, make him head of the new “independent SUU of Manchuria and Mongolia,* supporting him with flying machines and bayenots.

MILES SMITH RETURNS HOME FROM TRIP TO FIJI ISLANDS

Miles Smith returned home to Syracuse Tuesday after a trip most I of the way around the world. A brief account of his travels varies from the romance of the south seas to cold facts Bnd starvation conditions in the prosperous United States. Smith left Los Angeles last June as a deck hand on H. D. Horton's 90 foot sailing boat, 45 ton gross. The party planned a leisurely two years' trip round the world. They first put in at Ivaho ip the Marqueses group; then at Papeete on the island of .Tahiti; to Raratanga in the Cook group; then to the islands of Penrhyn and Manehique famous for pearl diving. They journeyed on to Paftgo Pango in the Samoan Islands, to the town of Apia in w hat is how British Samoa, formerly German. Then the travellers saiied'on to Suva in the Fiji Islands. It w:;s here that Smith became seriously ill " with malaria and decided to return to the States. On reaching Los Angeles he decided to hitch hike home, “hitching” on to freight cars rather than trying to get automobiles to stop on roads crowded with would-be hitch hikers. Experiences on this journey would j fill a book, a not so cheerful book, j Smith says that there are 15,000 un-I employed that pass through Los An- i

SYRACUSE DRIVER SHOT AT IN TRUCK Two Syracuse young men were in charge of the truck belonging to the Lee .1. Osborn Trucking Co., <>f Huntington, when the truck was fired on Wednesday night last week, in South Bend, near Laporte, and J between New Carlisle and Bootjack. Orval Auer, driver of the truck, •a as accompanied by “Pete” Mick, when they were forced to drive through a rain of shots. The first attack occurred while the truck was being loaded with a cargo of radios at the Colin B. Kennedy radio plant on W. Ewing Ave. j in South Bend. Instead of shooting, | a quantity of acid was thrown over the seat in the driver’s cab and over a number of the radios., This was cleaned up and Auer took the truck load on the road to Chicago. Between New Carlisle and Bootjack an automobile bearing gunmen drove.up behind the truck and opened fire. Twenty-four shots were fired into the load, damaging, the cat-go. Auer kept the truck in the middle >f the road for sometime, so that he armed machine could not draw | alongside. According to Ross Osborn, brother I of the man who owns the truck line, the armed men finally passed Auer’s truck, and went on ahead, only to draw to oneside at a cross road near LaPorte and shoot at Auer’s truck again when it passed. No one was injured but when Auer reached LaPorte and reported to the police station, there were 18 bullet holes found in the truck. Auer took the load to Chicago and returned to South Bend that night. He took another load out last Thursday night, but there was no war. ■ : Q > CREAM STATION WILL LOCATE HERE A new business is moving to 4 Syracuse.

geles daily. He said that there were as many.as 500 travellers who hopped off freight trains at division points such at El Paso, Texas. “They looked like ants —or mice when they scrambled off," he said. “And the sad part is—-these aren’t the well known ‘bums'.They are professional men, lawyers, doctors, dentists, college professors—men who have always worked and would gladly work now, out trying to find a job. ‘ “They are married men seeking to: find work to support families left at! home. Many of the men have brought their families with them. Its not such a cheerful sight to see a man and his wife and children riding in a cold, empty freight car. “The worst I think were the youngstters. Boys from 11 years of age on! up on the road. Their families have been ordered out of their homes someplace where they couldn’t pay rent, they’ve had no place to go? the families nave ’ broken up;: each starts “out on the road, bound 1 for nowhere, just going. “Aqd -girls I saw 15 of them in a freight car at one time.

ROAD 13 SURE TO GO TH ROUGH TOWN OFFICIAL CLAIMS The route of road 13 has been decided definitely, and it will- be from North Webster north to Benton, through Syracuse, according to word sent the Journal by Arthur H.

The speaker advocated a more equitable distribution of taxes among all classes of citizens through the adoption of income taxes such as 20 states now use, corporation taxes which all industrial states but Indiana now have, a modified sales tax applying especially to amusements and luxuries and a tax on intangibles “which, he said would yield, if ca:efully planned and with not too high a rate, approximately one-fourth of what real property now pays. „ While pointing out the possibility of spreading Hoosier taxes so that “no large part of the state would be overloaded to the advantage of other groups,” Mr. Cantwell declared that savings could be made through the abolishment of towmships. The elimination of townships, he said, “would probably save in office a net S50(>;000,” to say nothing of other advantages which he outlined as “more professional administering of chariety, better road construction and maintenance, and better equalization of school finance.” “We have a painful tax situation here in Indiana,” said Mr. Cantwell. “Our antiqued system is a nightmare to property owners in both town and country. It hits the country with particular force because the country has only 28.3 per cent of the state’s income and bears 60 per cent of the property load.” Mr. Cantwell quoted tax statistics to show Indiana now has the third lowest per capita tax expenditures jfor government of all the 48 states and held little hope for large budget reductions. His suggested plan for redistribution of taxes is as follows: Real property (now 000,000 $100,000,000 Intangibles — ——— 16,000,000 Personal income -- 10.000,000 Corporation 6,000,000 Excise, amusement and luxury 5,000,000 Insurance 2,000,000 Gasoline -- __x____ 14.500,000 Auto license _i 6,200,000 Inheritance — 1,300,000 Miscellaneous 500,000 Total (same- as at pres.) 161,500,000 CAR LEAVES ROAD On the way home to Syracuse from revival services at the South* Union church, last Thursday night, Rev. Jarhoe’s car ran off the road into a ditch. He was accompanied by Mrs. Jarh’oe and several members of the churfch.
