< JIUS(j^-y by Arthur Brisbane WORK FOR FOUR MILLION HOW THEY GET IT PROHIBITION, FAREWELL PERMANENT WAVES, FREE President Roosevelt Announces a plan to find jobs for four million idle taking them off the public dole system, supplying them with work on •elf-sustaining federal, state and jocal public works. The *400,000,000 to be devoted to this task will be well spent, if the undertaking is successful. The President hopes that 2,000,000 will be employed on the new work in the course of this month and 2,000,000 more before the of December. A New" York banking , house informs you that it bought up an automobile company, paid $146,000,000 in one check, did not put in a dollar of its own money, getting the $146,000,000 from the public in exchange for the stock and keeping the “voting stock," controlling the company, i»s part of its bonus. Later it sold the company to another concern for $180,000,000. Yourj keen intelligence may tell you who got the difference between $146,000,000 and $180,000,000. ' * Prohibition is dead, the voters of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Utah completed the necessary 36 states. Another dangerous experiment in control of the majority by a minority, another effort to ch mge by law the customs of men and the habits of centuries comes to an end for the present. - Unfortunately, while prohibition dies, the crime wave and the bootlegging that finances crime survive. But, with the cause abolished, the government will find away to remove the results. " Monsieur Paul Bonhoure, hairdresser of the French city of Tarascon, made famous by the novel “Tartarin of Taraacon” has won five million francs (about 307,000 of our money) in the French lottery. What will he do? Will he buy a yacht and sail the oceans of the world? Will he buy the top of a mountain, erect a telescope and study the universe so much wider than a hairdresser’s shop Will he lead a life of pleasure in Paris, where pleasure is for sale, at reasonable rates for Frenchmen? No, nothing of that sort. He will continue in his hairdressing shop, and to show that he. has the right French spirit he will give a free / “permanent wave” to every one of his lady customers. Not everybody mis imagination. Before, the federal government took ■■■ an interest in the kidnaping-industry bringing about one or’ two death sentences and many life sentences, that: industry was proceeding along ambitious lines. It is shown that kidnapers had definite, careful plans to kidnap Gov. Paul McNutt of Indiana On a map that the kidnappe. meant to follow was written: ‘ Force governor to sign pardon. release him uninjured, Junction 43." There was also sketched the town square of Danville. Ind , with arrows pointing to the First National and the Danville State bank, and a memorandum: “Get money, kill any one making resistance. Act quick.” The idea of robbing a bank and "killing anybody" is old. But kidnaping a governor to force him to sign some criminals pardon would be new. It was announced hastily, without final decision, fortunately, that the civil service would not hire any stenographer or typewriter more than 40 years old. It would be a pity if the government felt obliged to Say to all past 40, “Consider yourselves dead." j. Now, with relief, you learn that the lady stenographers can be employed by the government up to “an age limit of 63 years. ” That shows intelligence, for at 63 a woman knows more than she ever knew before. The female brain is better at 60, and later, than it ever was in earlier years as Professor Shaler tells you. Mr. Rufus Dawes, whose admirable work for A Century of Progress exposition deserves the nation’s thanks, announces the exposition will be kept open next summer. It should be kept open.

SNOW STORM COMES AFTER DUST STORM Western Dust Storm Felt Here Sunday Evening and Tuesday It Snowed. Residents of this vicinity who couldn’t understand why they breathed with difficulty Sunday night, and Ahy household articles wore covered with dirt Monday morning, learned on reading the Monday dailies of he dust storm in lowa, Illinois and ;he Dakotas, part of which reached Syracuse. About 10:30 Sunday evening, street lights had a hazy appearance, as .hough trying to shine through a fog. And many are the wives who confessed, Monday, that the night before, they forced husbands to get up out of bed and go down to the cellar to see what was wrong with the furnace, as breathing ‘ was so difficult. Monday morning article* in the house near windows where dirt had blown in around the casements, had to be cleaned. According to dailies the dust itorm Out west Sunday afternoon .vas considered the worst in years. The winds often reached a velocity rs 70 mile* an hour. Trees were uprooted and light and telephone poles blown over. From Omaha, Neb., to Watertown S. D., it was as dark as night between 2 and 4 p. m. Visitors at the World’s Fair were covered with dust, exhibitions were damaged and lights of the fairgrounds visible but a mile sway, Sunday evening. And then it snowed. School hacks made their rounds yesterday, as did rural mall carrier*, but residents in town were busy early Wednesday morning, shoveling mow from sidewalks, from three to four inches in -depth.

OLD AGE PENSIONS $1.75 PER MONTH? {Number of Applicants for Peasiem Make* Amount Available for County too Small. Representing the Kosciusko County Board of Commissioners, County Attorney George Xsmders has furnished the following facts coocsrning Old Age Pensions, to be published in the Journal. The following facta are in Xanders report: There are over 800 applications on file with the Board of Commissioners of Kosciusko County under the old age pension law, passed by the legislature of 1933. If every applicant was paid each month, end not allowing anything for later adjustments, or expenses, bo pensioner would receive more then 31.76 per month. The total amount that can bo spent this coming year for old ago pension* is only 17,500. The tax adjustment board cut the appropriation down to this figure, not wishing to burden the Kosciusko County tax payers with more tax, as the taxpayers pay one-half of these pensions. It is just another forth of poor relief and the taxes for other poor relief have become enormous, without adding more to the same. This law waa passed to help the destitute, and only those whose applications are found, on investigation, to be entirely destitute or in serioua need, will receive a pension. There are some points in this old age pension law, that are not understood by the applicants and public generally, and the Board of Commissioners are obligated by law to inform the public so far as they are able: 1. If application shows the applicant has children, then the applicant will not receive a pension, unless the children are shown to be also destitute or on the township, or are clearly unable to take care of the parent. 2. An applicant receiving a pension will not receive any further aid from the Townahip Trustee, or County, or from any other public source. It is prohibited by law. In many cases, more aid is now rendered to tome of theee applicants than the County can give under the pension law. 3. A pensioner will not be able to dispose of his or her property, without the consent of the Board of Commissioners. It is a misdemeanor and punishable by fine, etc. 4. The amount of the pension received through a term of months, is a first lien on the estate of the pensioner, if he or she has any, at death, together with 3 per cent interest per snnum on the amount paid. 6. An applicant may refuse to take a pension if he wishes, finding it not to his benefit'or worth while. 6. The probable maximum pension will not be to exceed $6,00 per month, though in extreme cases it mmy run higher. 7. A pensioner may be required to deed hit or her property to the Board of Commissioners. 8. A pension, once granted, may be lowered, raised, or dropped entirely, at any time. 9. The fact of being 70 years of age it only one requisite set out in the law, there are ten other qualifications. 10. All applicants may be heard by the Board of Commissioners if pension disallowed or not given, 1f applicant deems it ndceaaary or worth while. There will be many inequalities aI first in the administration of the oM age pension law, but after a course of time it will probably be sifted down, and only those clearly entitled to a pension will finally receive the same. Tha Board of Commissioners will do all in their power to make a just, fair and impartial adjustment of all applications. They have • task on hand which is going to be difficult to administer.

HOLDS ITS REGULAR MEETING Hope to Interest State Officials In Spending Funds on Road Near Future Park Site. In an effort to leave nothing undone that should be done, a committee was appointed at the Chamber of Commerce meeting, Tuesday noon to call upon Roy Biberstine, district highway engineer, located at Fort Wayne, to lay before him the proposition of eliminating the curve around the hill on Road 13, across from the Syracuse park site. A letter had been sent to James D. Adams, chairman of the state highway commission, asking for an appointment concerning the matter, and Adams had asked the Chamber of Commerce to get in touch with Biberatinq. In e telephone conversation Biberstine had told Warren Colwell that he would be in Syracuse last week to look over the proposition, but *o far, Biberstine had not shown up. On Tuesday, C. C. Bachman, George Xanders, Warren Colwell, A. L. Miller and Harry Porter were appointed to go to Fort Weyne in j quest of getting some of the Federal relief money. The program now being worked by j the Indiana officials in conjunction with Federal authorities calls for 50- j 000 men to be employee! on conserve- j tion work and 30,000 on a highway relief program by Dec. 16. James D. Adana is now in Washington, submitting data to the bureau of public roads. Also, Public Works Administrator Ickes in a latter to Governor McNutt stated that contracts amounting to $2,064,000 had been awarded, representing 20.4 per cent of the total federal allotment at $10,037,843 for the state of Indiana to be spent on highway relief work. With these facte in mind the committee is geing to see If the state highway commission cannot spend some money in this vicinity, and if possible eliminate the curve across from the park site, and fill the "dump" with the dirt taken from the curve, as the same time. If federal money is obtained unemployed men will be given work with pay. Yesterday Warren Colwell talked with Biberstine on the phone and he said ha was going to Indianapolia hot would com* to Syracuse' in 3 or 4 days. }

BANK’S PLAN IS EXPLAINED MERCHANTS Business Men Meet With Directors;sQuestions Are Answered. During an explanation of the proposed bank plan, by the officials of the Syracuse State Bank to the business men of the town, Tuesday afternoon, the officials made the statement that 75 depositors had already signed the waivers. One of these represented a deposit of $2,250. Another group of waivers from one family represented deposits amounting to $4,000. The total amount waivered had not been checked. The explanation pf the plan to put Syracuse’s bank in the A class was made to the business men by Stephen Freeman, president, and A. L. Miller, cashier. All of the business men present seemed to be in favor of the plan and willing to co-operate with the bank. Some,of the questions asked by the business men were as follows; Question: Why was not the payment of 25 per cent of the deposits as of March 6, 1933, written in the agreement which depositors were • 1 asked to sign? Answer: The depositors agreement was not drawn up by the l?ank officials but by the controller of currency and the state banking department. The 25 per cent of deposits not waivered will be placed in the going bank and subject to withdrawal as in any other unrestricted bank in the state of Indiana with this provision that 25 per cent could be withdrawn over a period of three months.. Question: Would the participatinf; certificates issued by the trustees for the trusteed assets bear interest? Answer: No. Question: Would a depositor get 25 per cent of his deposits if the plan went- ; -through if he had already withdrawn 5 per cent of his de posits restricted March 6? Answer: No; He would only be allowed to withdraw 20 per cent because he had already withdrawn 5 per cent and many depositors have not withdrawn anything from theii restricted deposits. The aim of the plan is to treat all depositors alike. Question: What does the substitution clause m©an in the depositor’- . agreement? Answer: It was placed in the depositors agreement to facilitate the payment of the trusteed assets. Paper from the going bank which was going to mature and would be paid could be substituted for paper from the trusteeds assets that were acceptable to the bank. The bank officials were frank enough to state that substitution: c«uld besworked to favor either the going bank or the trusteed assets bu> .. they explained that the bank wai anxious to pay pff the waivered accounts as fast as possible so as t restore confidence in the bank. Question: Would a depositor wh owed the bank be allowed to offseaccounts before the proposed pla . went into effect? Answer: The state banking dep'ar. ment has made a ruling that this cannot be done by restricted banks. They state that offseting accounts ~ (Continued on Last Page) DONATIONS ASKED FOR NEEDY HERE. County Poor Fund Used Up Long Ago; Clothing-Food Needed by Those in Syracuse, j Winter weather has brought increased pleas for help, according to the township trustee, and as the county poor fund has been spent long since, it seems little help can be given unless residents and clubs can make donations. If any family has caps, coats, overshoes, mittens and shoes, and can donate these to the trustee, these will be distributed to those in need. The county poor fund having been spent long ago, bilb with local stores may not be paid until next February, and maybe not until next fall. Resentment has been expressed that the Salvation Army truck was in town this week collecting anything anyone cared to donate, as the opinion expressed was that there are enough in need here in Syracuse to be taken care of, without sending anything available out of town, or out of the county for use.
