The fulfillment of the plan even now seems like an increditable dream to those who worked and struggled for a paH tor Syracuse. It seems fantastic, when no one had any idea how dirt could be moved, that thousands' of dollars have been made available to fill unsightly burying ground of broken down autmnobiles. ; ink, and decayed vegetables, with clean, fresh dirt. Hut men are working doing this very thing. ,• Much -of the credit for the construction <>f the park belongs to a small group of local men and especially to W. E. Long. . c When the plan was about to become only something to be remembered at aim re opportune time, he offered money and encouragement. He aroused enthusiasm when the financial structure of the country seemed to be tottering. The impetus that he gave the park idea gained in momentum. A contract for the purchase of the s ',, fr d Mrs. Ellwood George was made at favorable terms. Business men have used the axe, mattock, scythe, and brush knife, to clear the ground. Men have spent days' in Warsaw perfecting the project that resulted in a grant from the federal governtnnet. Now the people of Syracuse will have a park. A park'that will be a ■mg jewel for: the setting--the beautiful iakef region of Northern Indiana, Some doubters will say lhe land is not paid for. But it will be paid for. Ways and means must be found, and shall be found. The people .of Syracuse can not gsI id to let the project go, for they are in the predicament of-the man that got hold. <<f a inad bull’s tail and dared not let go.

An opportunity for every child of poor families to become immune from diphtheria and small pox at no expense to the family is made possible by the State Board of Health. • Se thousand seta of tiny glass tubes have been offered free by the state One of the tubes contains a fluid which will make a child immune ’from small pox, when the fluid of the tube enters the child’s system. The other tube contains a fluid that will render the child free from the'danger of diphtheria. In this day and age protection from disease is to be found in glass tubes of hospitals, not as some faddists say by ’'turning back to nature,” “Nudism," etc. Naked negroes of Africa . catch small pox which makes them smell to high heaven, which always disfigures them for life, and often kills them. If the parents of a child are able , to pay, go to the family physician, pay a nominal autn and have the thud immunized. Make Syracuse free ' from the dreaded scourge of small pox and diphtheria.

STATE AROUSING SENTIMENT FOR DEER INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Sentiment of residents throughout the southern part of the state toward the re-in-troduction of deer in Indana is being sounded at a series of public meetings now in progress with a favorable response from farmers, landowners and sportsmen. Reports of j the meetings are being received by' Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, j from members of the committee* sponsoring the proposal for the liberation of deer. ' Meetings have been held at Bloomington, English, Bloomfield, Paoli, , Martinsville and Nashville which | were well attended. Other meetings i are to be held at various places. Theise meetings are being held to I acquaint the residents of the southi ern Indiana counties with the facts concerning the proposal for the liberation of. deer in those counties and to obtain definite information regarding their attitude. The sentiment reflected im these meetings will I determine the attitude of the Department of Conservation on the proposal jlf the sentiment is favorable, deer will be liberated, if the sentiment is not favorable the proposal will be abandoned. Proponents of the plan point to the enormous revenue which has been received by residents of Michigan, Pennsylvania and other states where deer have been liberated. Thousands of hunters flock to those states for the hunting season and it is contended that within a few years- Indiana would have sufficient deer for an open season attracting the hunters and the revenue to this state.

It is easy to see that inflation is not a quick and easy way of reducing or paying debts. Indeed, it is apt to have the opposite effect on the total indebtedness, and to wipe out the savings of the thrifty, while at the same time bringing intolerable hardships to those who work for a salary or a daily wage. Certainly in handling inflation, now is the time to “stop, look and listen." •. I

hjVERY ONE OWING STATE FOR GROSS INCOME TAX MUST PAY IN JANUARY INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.- More than a half million blanks on which Indiana, individuals and businesses will make their annual gross income t?x returns in January will be distributed within the next few days to hundreds of distribution points throughout the state, C. A. Jackson gross income tax division director, announced today. Preparations for receiving more than 300,000 tax payments are being made at the state house. This huge number is anticipated because every taxpayer who owes the state must pay up in full in January. In July and October, when the first two payments were made, a taxpayer did not have to make settlement unless he owed $lO or more. Consequently, scores of thousands deferred their -payments until January. Jackson pointed out that a return must be filed and payment made by every person or business with recipes in excess of $666.67,* for the eight months from May 1, 1933 to December 31, 1933, inclusive. From lhe total receipts, the exemption of $666.67 or two thirds of the annual exemption of SI,OQO will be deducted. ■ ' The annual return blanks require the taxpayer to include total receipts for the eight months, regardless of previous reurns filed or payments made. If tax was paid in July or October or both, space is provided on the blank for deducting the amount of the previous payment so that the sum due in January can be ( deterfliined accurately. Jackson stressed the necessity for every individual to become a business man to the extent of keeping an accurate record of his receipts from all sources. This record must be preserved for two years. ‘ <1 — ’ REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS I The Journal is furnished with lhe j following transfers of- real estate by Houton C.

There are several {birds in politics who will regard this record with envy.—Phila. Bulletin. Senator Fletcher proposes a government bureau to guard the “devils of Wall Street” and keep the people from being fleeced. Nobody ever seems to think of trying to instill in the sheep enough sense to stay away from the “big bad wolf.** That’s one way to keep from being hurt. Remember the good old days when the average farmer was too busy in the fall cleaning up his fence rows to go on a strike? i

FEDERAL AND STATE RED TAPE > < Thoughtful citizens can not fail to >. look with concern upon the ever increasing tendency of governmental s agencies to restrict and “regulate” i' our daily activities, which are beJ coming more and more enmeshed in , i a maze of red tape. | Practically every new law passed t by Congress or state Legislatures is t designed to further extend this pat ternal supervision by innumerable 'commissions, boards and bureaus, many of which have no valid .rialion , for existence, except that they make r jobs to fatten the public payroll. ■ > Among hte many persons of promlinence who have protested against I these indefensible encroachments uplon the liberties of the people' is jformer Gov. Theodore Christiansen, I' of Minnesota, who said: “I emphatically disapprove of the ■ numerous and petty regulations with i which little bureaucrats in WashingI ton annoy arid harrass business big i and little.” i The fact is that these burdensome < regulations are not the result of any - demand on the part of the public, I {but are originated by politicians who » seek the limelight and are ambitious r .to have their names identified with i restrictive laws on every conceivable r' subject—Dovel, Del., State Sen. , o We can’t see the consistency of the government's paying a farmer to dei stroy part of his crops and then givr ing him free seed and loans for fer»j tilizer in order that he can raise big- | ger and better crops.

Jam a What the NRA Has Done. We’ve put a million to work today— And took a million pensions away; We’re robbing Peter to pay Paul, And not getting anywhere at all. We raised the price of corn and j # wheat, To give the poor farmers something to eat; We taxed our town folk till they are squealing, And make them eat potato peeling. We got men as busy as bees, Planting forests full of trees. But look at our soldiers brave and true, Their pensions have been cut in two.

l “squander trove” in our national life? The gross yearly income of the American people - is at least a hundred times the united fund. Or compare the “squander trove” with the funds handled yearly by American manufacturers, a tidy little $70,000.000,000 —an annual fund inany times | greater than the public fund, and, ’like it, exposed to folly arid to faithless servants. The retail-wholesale distributing 'system handled another seventy billions. Insurance companies represent seventy billions, Banks a hundred billions more. Are all these funds handled wisely, as viewed by the society they so intimately in- { volve? Many individual industries handle more funds yearly than the government. Autos, Construction, Iron and Steel, Meat Packing, Railroads, (why, our “government" seems mostly, fully 99 percent otherwhithers than at Washington) each rates at three to feur billions. Even single corporations compare with government and schools: Ford, General Motors, U. S. Steel, Chase National Bank, American Tel & Tel., and others. ‘ Two wrongs do not make a right. We should freely Criticize government, but should do so thoughtfully in proportion to the facts, and not just following >' critical propaganda. It certainly is unwise to bring our Kind of Government into disrepute among its friends by rehearsing, and magnifying, current ills until they seem to rival those of early, cruder days.
