Paint Her Up.

Indiana ought to be freshly painted
this spring. Not deep crimson. but
something or anything neat and tasty.
Tbs paint ought TO be applied early and
thoroughly and the state would reap q
rich harvest from the Investment.
This may seem ike a cranky notion,
but it isn't. 1t is a cold. plain, business
proposition of dollars and cents. Here
are the facts; the conclusion is irresisti-
BILE:
No other state in the union, with the
exception of Illinois, will see so many OF
the visitors to the wor DIS fair as Indiana.
Aud the portion of Illinois seen by five
sixths of the visitors to the fair will be
bounded by the city limits of Chicago.
Indiana is in q much better position to
profit by the fair than her western neigh
Dor.
Il is safe 70 say that S. per cent of the
visitors to the worlds fair will pass
through Indiana, passi anywhere from
six to sixteen hours in traversing her ter
ritory. 1t ought to be apparent that the
state would profit by putting on her best
bib and tucker for inspection of these
millions OF strangers.
II the Indiana people would make an
early and liberia investment in fresh paint
and distribute it judiciousiy along the
railroads-applied TO fences aud farm
buildings and town houses. and wherever
a rusty or seedy appearance is now given
such an i'm preston would be made on
travellers as would boom immigration and
investment most amazingly. There ought
to be enough business enterprise and pub
lie spirit in the citizens of Indiana to take
advantage of this unprecedented oppor-
tunity.

ment of any kind advance against the
tax The tax that it is an improper use
of the taxing power is rendered utterly
sbsured by the fact that similar uses are
constantly made and without opposition
or comment. Such an objection might
a. reasonably be made every time a pub
lie building is decorated in honor of some
great event or draped with emblems of
mourning on occasion of the death of
some great man. There is no provision in
constitution or laws that cities, or
counties. or states shall, be empowered to
rejoice or to mourn. There is 10 pro-
vision that officials NAV use the money
raised by taxation for other purposes to
pay for these emblems or for putting
them In place. It is simply an exercise
of power that is carried by implication
and that is backed by q public sentiment
OF propriety. The public would quickly
bound view OF public expenditure on
such occasions. We do not champion
waste and extravaganza, but We do say
that there are hundreds of occasions on
which pubic regard for decency and for
the manifestation of proper feeling de-
mands that there should be such eKpendi-
lures. They have always been made.
They will ALWAYS be made. They should
be- made on proper occasions, and nothing
but hypocrisy or the narrowest style of
bigotry would withhold them on this oc-
caeion. There can be no question in the
mind OF any patriotic American that the
veterans of the civil war deserve the graf
itude and affection of the American peo-
ole. and gratitude and affection that Is
not ready to extend to them the common
decencies of life is not one that is calcu-
lated to give the rising generation a whole
some idea of patriotism.

this encampment will be one of great

State Superintendent of Schools Harvey

laws passed during the recent session of
the general assemb and signed by the
governor. The bill was introduced by
Representative Heagy, aud provides for
the reduction Of the interest on school
funds from to per cent. per annum. 1t
a ects loans already made as we'll as

be uncOnstitutiOnai in that Ii impairs the
obligation of contracts. The bill as
passed is as follows:
Sec. 1. The principal OF all moneys. whether
belonging TO the common school fund or TO the
congressional township school fund, received
into the county treasury shall be loaned at
per cent. per annum, payable annually in adj
vance. and the interest paid out as prescribed
by the school law Of this state, and not other
wise; and any judgment upon any note or
