In accordance with what was evident
Iy the authors purpose TO make Gov.
Goodrich the dominant figure in the re-
publican party, this booklet quotes him
in the beginning and in the end. In
its Introductory paragraphs it attempts
to define the tax situation as Gov. Good
rich found 1t prior to taking office. 1t
quotes him as follows:
"If the public conscience can be
aroused and the true facts presented in
a calm and dispassionate way, we feel
sure that the taxpayers of Indiana will
support their legislature and the state
administration in any intelligent effort
directed toward the revision of our tax
laws, so that the state shall cease to
exist half free and half taxed, and that
every citizen shall contribute to the sup
port of the state in proportion to the
property he owns"
Assuming this viewpoint, one can not
help being impressed with the simplicity
of the tax problem of Indiana. Only
three things are necessary to cure all the
tax evils:
l. Arouse the public conscience and
present the true facts in a calm and dis
passionate way.
.. Make an Intelligent effort toward
the revision of our tax laws.
g. Enjoy the support of the tax
payers and the legislature in the enact
ment Of this revision of tax laws.
The republican state committee says:
"Time and again, subsequent to the
speech at LAGRANGE, Gov. Goodrich en-
phasized the inequalities in the assess
ment of property and pledged himself
and his administration, If elected COVER
nor, to remove the inequalities in as
Sessments"

SOME FURTHER SUGGESTIONS FOR
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM PLANKS
By J. P. DUNN

Editor The Times-I read James
K Risks article in your issue Of Jan.
81 on what should be in the next demo
cratic platform, with much interest; be
cause, while it is rather premature TO
undertake to decide definitely on the
subject, it is certainly desirable that
democrats should be thinking about It..
When Chairman Hays made his offer Of
$4,000 for the best republican platform,
it struck me as absurd, but when you
consider it, 1t is not a bad way to get
people to thinking about what should be
In the platform; and that is what is
necessary if you are to get a good
platform.
In my opinion, the people Of Indiana,
and of the whole country, are tired OF
talk They want something done. The
great constructive party" has been in
control of congress for a year, and has
not constructed anything. I think the
people would welcome 4 platform which
would avoid glitterlng generalities, and
state specifically what the party pro-
posed to do. In the expressive phrase
of the day, what the people want is for
the political parties to "get down to
brass tacks."
I would suggest that Mr.. Risks recon-
mendauOns are not satisfactory In this
regard. In the first place he favors a
declaration for Common honesty" II
that declaration were made, the repub-
licans would probably congratulate the
country that the democratic party had
at last awakened to the desirablity Of
common honesty, and declared for It.
II we answered that the need to which
we referred was in the republican party
they would reply asking a bill of specl-
fcations. What particular act in viola
ton of common honesty did we refer to :?
I would specify in the platform. It
surely is not common honesty for an
official to violate his oath OF office
The governor, members Of the Iegisla-
ture and judges of the supreme court
are all under oath to support the con
stituton Of the state. The constitution

D. "a Republican Failure.

Gov Goodrich then pledged his admin
istration to do these three simple things
that were necessary to solving the tax
problem in Indiana, and in the further
ance Of that pledge his administration
with control of both the senate and the
house, enacted the present tax law revls-
ions. the greatest achievement of the
republican party in Indiana since the
civil war"
But did the inequalities in assessment
vanish?
Ask your neighbor. Compare your tax
assessment with his. Look over the list
of appeals that were taken from your
township to the state tax board and then
look at the assessments of those who were
not willing to appeal. Seek the records
of the courts, where case after case
is pending against the state tax board
having for it's purpose the righting of
cOnfiscatory assessments.
OF, If you are too busy to do that turn
to page twenty-four of the booklet of
the republican state committee and con-
slider the assessment on the lot owned
by Jennie H. Hewitt of Cadiz, Henry
county. You will note that, according
to this official document of the repub-
lican committee, this lot was assessed
for $40 in 1918, $3.50 in 1919 and sold
for $780,
This is an illustration of the manner
in which the greatest achievement Of
the republican party since the civil war"
removed the inequalities in assessments,
which Gov. Goodrich pledged his party
and his administration to remove.

sion Of the legislature two thirds of all
the bills passed were presented to the
governor on the last two days of the
session. and were received by him, in de-
fiance of the provisions OF the cOnstitu-

II is true that this provision has been
violated for a number of years past,
but never as at this session, and never
with such disastrous results. There were
, never before so many bills found to have
been altered after passage, either through
mistake, or worse than mistake. 1t has
become a sort of tradition in Indiana
that It is a privilege Of the governor
to receive bills on the last two days, but
there Is no foundation for this The
supreme court has repeatedly held that
such action was in violation Of the CON

to the enrolled bill Is his official Ger

Q. What is winter cholera? Is it
Asiatic cholera? How is 1t spread?
A. The term is loosely used. Mostly
1t is applied to a diarrheal disease caused
by drinking infected water. Sometimes
investigation has shown it to he simply
an epidemic of typhoid fever. Such wa

In winter and spring as a result of rains
