AS THE PEOPLE VIEW 1T

found necessary In 1920, even ii
the state valuation sinks to $780,
100000.
An important feature Of the
amendment lies in the provisi n
for a flexible adjustment OF the
school levy so ttat the excess re-
quired over ten mills in each coln-
| ty would be subject to review by
the state tax commission. THUS
the taxpayers would be assured
that the levy would be only such
as would raise the necessary funds
to meet the school budget needs.
Since the commission direct the
machinery for raising revenues
through general taxation 1t is logi-
cal that the power to review levies
should be vested in that body.
The Road Bond Amendment.
The objection to amendment No.
II is that 1t is contrary to a "pay
as you go" policy. Bond issues
involve heavy interest payments;
for a 100000 bond issue, as
much more will be required to pay
interest. 1t will increase the rates
Wv o tiiiO WhCI tNCly ellOlI SllOulu
be made to reduce taxation. The
bond issue is not necessary to meet
present federal aid grants, ample
provision having been made for
this purpose through heavy tax
le7ies. 1t is not necessary to meet
future government aid because the
next legislature can provide for
further levies. The bond amend
ment also makes valid all debent-
ures issued by the state highway
commission even when such de-
hentures are issued in anticipation
OF levies directed to be made in
certain counties up to and includ-
inj 1925.

AT THE DOOR.

There's some one knocking al
the door, and I shall rise and let
him in; I'll show no visage grim
or sore, but greet him with a cord =
ial grin, and hang his hat upon the
floor, and brace him up with kick
less gin. l do not tremble any
more when some one at the portal
knocks, and fear 1t is some beastly
bore who's come to bone me for
the rocks that l am owing at the
store, for shoes or sugar, sacks or
socks. For\ now l pay my bills on
time, and ask no man an hour to
wait; look upon it as crime to
fool the trusting merchant skate
who sells me lollipops or lime, ex-
pecting pay on such a date. Time
was when I gave little heed to
keeping Credit good and bright;

"Why-why--I thought water

The American Legion is assuring
perpetuation of an indianapolis ira
dition, which has endured for more
than fifty years, due to Mcllvaine-
Kothe post continuing the custom of
society of Civil war veterans. Sa-
lutes will be fired from n Civil war
cannon at an indianapolis cemetery
on Memorial day and in the court
house yard on Washington's birthday.
The old cannon originally was on
board a Confederate flatboat, which
patrolled the Ohio river and was cap
tured by n federal gunboat in 1864.
The cannon has been in the hands of
the legion post since last Memorial
day.-The American Legion Weekly
