county board Of review to make proper
equalization by classes or units. or both,

FAVORS ACCESSION
OF SAND DUNES.

On our extreme northern border, along
the shores Of Lake Michigan, there Is
another wonderful place Of natural
beauty and interest that should be pre-
served fer future generations. l refer to
the wonderful dunes that are famous for
their rare 1orR and their changing beauty.
Situated as they are, they could be easily
accessible to thousands Of visitors. This
Is a project for the future, but some
steps should be taken at this session,
without involving the State In any great
expense, to pave the way for their acCes-
sion to the State park system at some
future date and upon some satisfactory
basis, with other interests also concerned
in their preservation.
In all these things We must consistent
" practice economy, but not such an
economy as may retard the health of
our people.
1t has been my purpose in this mes
sage to present only very few specific
proposals for your consideration.
1t is my earnest belief that you will
receive the unqualified approval of the
people of Indiana by the passage of II
limited number Of new constructive laws
rather than by the passage of an over
abundance of hasty and unnecessary
legislation.
urge you, therefore, to proceed to the
performance Of your duties in deliber
| ate and orderly way, fully conscious of
your obligation to the people whom you
represent.
also wish to call the attention of the
majority members to the great RESPONSE
bility that rests upon your shoulders
! In this session. Control brings with it
dangers as well as advantages. Over
whelming power should suggest duty Of
the highest order. You have the future
of the Republican party of Indiana in
your hands. The responsibility is yours
1t Is my ardent hope that you will direct
the affairs of the Assembly in a manner
to merit the esteem and good Will of
the people of the State.
In closing, | wish to impress upon all
the Importance of harmony and coopera-
ton.
May your record be marked by pru-
dence and wisdom. May your actions be
distinguished by yonr conscientious ad-
herence to those obligations which you
have assumed and may your deliberations
be for the bettermen OF our State govern
ment and thereby for the advancement
OF the people. With humility may you

REGISTRATION LAW
COMMENDED.

The registration law in Indiana has
been potent factor in placing valuable
safeguards around the exercise of the
right of suffrage, and it should be con-
tinued In It's full effect to the end that
only duly qualified voters may be enabled
TO exercise the right of franchise in all
elections.
1t Is my opinion that the provision for
registration Of voters preceding each
and every election is cumbersome and
entails large expense which might well
be avoided. l advocate the establish
ment OF a permanent registration based
upon the principle that every qualified
voter must register before the next gen
eraI election. after which no further
registration on his or her part shall be
required unless the voter should remove
from the precinct boundaries in which
he resided at the time of his registration
As matter Of economy and for the
purpose of relieving our voters from the
frequent performance Of the duty of rer-
lstratiOn, | advocate the enactment Of :,
statute embOdyilg the permanent regis
tration principle
Experience gained from the late cleo
I ton shows that the use of the absent
voters ballot was greatly abused. In
one county there were cast $50 absent
voters ballots. The general use Of this
FORM OF voting is contrary to the intent
OF the law and could become an easy
avenue for gross corrupt practices l rec
ommend that such safeguards. as are
necessary be thrown around this law
In order that the original purpose OF
the act may be preserved and the purity
of the ballot maintained

WOULD HAVE INDIANA
LEAD IN EDUCATION.

Indiana must not take a backward step
In educational matters. The education
OF our young people is, after all, the
guarantee OF a valued citizenship and "a
consequent era of good government.
Education rightly developed is the enemy
OF unrest and anarchy.
1t is an Investment that brings vast
returns IN the way Of increased personal
earning capacity, better citizenship,
lessened crime, happier homes and
greater contentment. all Of which con
tribute TO the sum of human happi-
ness.
In order to maintain the desired love
Of country and devotion to its ideals and
to insure the perpetuity of its instituI-
lions, our educational needs should re-
ceive the earnest consideration of tho
members of the General Assembly. While
1t should be remembered that these as
well as all other public underta kings.
must in the immediate future practice
strict economy, yet we must carefully
guard against such economy as may re
tard or imjure the advancement of tho
educational standards of Indiana.
urge you to give this most important
matter your careful deliberate considers
ton to the end that we may further
the Advancement of education in every
way consistent with a wise and prudent
business policy. Indiana must lead, not
follow. in all matters pertaining TO
education.

IMPROVED ROADS
ESSENTIAL.

Indiana carly realized the Importance
IF highways. The recent breaking down
Of our transportation facilities has en-
phssized the imperative necessity for the
further development of our highway
system. " bile it might be the exercise
OF good judgment to delay the construc-
ton of highways temporarily, or at least
until the markets for highway materiaIs
become more settled, ! ask you to an
proach this subject with broad vision
and full appreciation of the importance
Of an enlarged highway system.
The road improvement program
should go forward as fast as the exlgen-
cies permit. ANY other course would not
be consistent with the leadership in such
projects for which Indiana has always
been noted. l trust that you Will give
your full support to such measures and
appropriations for the extension of oul
! highway system as may be consistent
with present conditions.
I also wish to call your attention ia
the importance of the proper maintenance
of the road systems now taken over ny
the State highway commission While
new construction is going on, We must
not neglect the proper maintenance OF
the highways that have been designated
1t is poor economy to allow the roads to
become so worn that their repair prac-
tically amounts to complete new road
| building. For some time to come a much
larger per cent of our people can he
served better by efficient maintenance
| than by new construction.
Some measures providing for the i'm
| prOvement of our natural waterways may
come before you and should have your
earnest consideration. Their proper de-
velopment Will he the means of provid
Ing practical economical transportation
and will be an aid toward the solution
of the problems of distribution and high
cost Of living.

SOURCE OF PRIDE.
Agriculture is one Of our basic in
dustries and We may well be proud of
the position we occupy among our sister
states in this great vocation The rec
ord made by our corn growers and our
producers Of livestock In the great COM
petitive shows should arouse a thrill

JUDGE REFUSES TO
PAROLE FRISCO MEN

Judge Henson refused to parole
Claud Epps, Alfred Ferry, Chas.
Newton and Dave Fisher, Frisco rail-
road employees of Monett, who were
sentenced to four years each in the
penitentiary for burglary and larceny
The men all entered plea Of guilty
to the charge of robbing freight cars
of merchandise.
d. S. Mayhem, attorney for the de-
fense, made plea for parole. In
giving his decision Judge Henson
stated that burglary and larceny must
be premeditated and carefully plan
ned. This, taken in addition to the
fact that the men We're employees of
the company and had violated trust
by their actions, made the offense too
serious to be passed by parole.
All of the men are young married
men with families. Their wives and
children were with them at tCassville
and it was pathetic scene when the
men were taken to the Jail after
sentence was pronounced.

OH MILE! WAIT A MINUTE


"Oh Millie Wait A Minute" the
musical farce which is to be present
ed by the Order Of DeMolays Monett
Chapter, at the Rialto Theatre, Fri
day and Saturday nights, December
18th and 18th in under full swing.
Rehearsals are being held at all hours
of the day, and the rigorous drilling
and training which the cast is get
ting promises to develop snappy,
show-one that will move right along
with no dead spots.
The show is full of good clean fun,
interspersed with music and clever
dancing and splendid array of tai
ent have put their shoulders to the
collar to make this success.
A strange and mysterious lady will
appear the first night of the show.
Madame FULLOPEPSKI the Pre-
miere Danseuse of the Russian Bal
let. Madam has promised to bring
her chorus of Baby Vamps and rem
der for the show "Second Hand
Rose There is also the great
chorus Ladies from the Nile" which
promises to be rare bit of joy.
Madame Fullopepski will arrive just
in time for the show and bring her
girls with her, well chaperoned.
The Skinner twins-Ruth Hobbs
and Lawrence Shaddrick with the
clever dialogue and songs have nearly
been the ruination of the more staid
members of the cast. However Nav
Perkins ably assisted by the girls
Lizzie, jerry and Jane are able to
cope astutely with wits of the Skin
ners-but when the Dashing Mile
comes on and claims Nav Perkins as
her very own and tells "How Very
Sweet Papa Perkins isl, then Nav
gets on her fighting clothes-she has
but one objective and that is to get
the Scalp of Paw Perkins.
Madame the Naughty came all the
way over to make America beautiful
but when she viewed the crowd she
thought she had a man-sized job on
her hands. But you ought to see what
Millie does to the caste, and how COM
pletely she takes Zeke, Hi and Jake
under her wing and gives them new
idea about life.
When Paw is found in the wilds OF
Paris, he is hardly in a presentable
condition, but--well Nav handles the
situation you can bet.
| About seventy-fve Monet young
people are working in the choruses
which promise to be a riot of music
beauty and dancing.
