Desired


The organization of a Henry
County branch of the Indiana Tax
payers Association can do a great
deal toward accomplishing a thing
greatly desired by ala reduction
in taxes.
With an organization of interested
taxpayers the reckless expenditure of
public funds can be discouraged, ever
bearing in mind that the source of
high taxes is not in township, town.
city, county and State Governments,
but In the demand of the people them

The editor of the Columbus Qnd-J>
Ledger seems to be much wrought up
over the dire ca1amities which he as
sumes would follow as a result Of the
election next year should Henry Ford
be elected President and Lew Shank
Governor of Indiana.
In the light Of present events it
would seem that the editor OF the
Ledger might well refrain his veSe~
from weeping, and find consolation N
the thought that Henry may well be
depended upon to at least venture an
opinion occasionally on something,
while Lew. not being an adept in the
use of the Kings English. probably
would not write many notes.

DR. Marion L. Burton. president
University of Michigan: 1.-THE mod

the physical welfare of it's students

true and manly craftsmanship has
place in actual life which none will
deny"
Bishop Charles L. SIattery. Boston:
Our youth, with lack of charity and
patience. long to get away from what
they call the laundering sham OF
their elders, and do something con-
crete in the making of a happy and
righteous world. 1t may be only the
vision of the night. 1t may not be
articulate, but he who listens hears
the cry"
Charlie Chaplin. telling why few
women succeed in screen comedy:
Lets look the matter in the face and
call a spade a spade. A woman, by
all the laws of biology, has one thing
to sell. That thing is her sex. 1t is
in accordance with biological law that
she should set that forth to the best
advantage. Fundamentally, 1t is nee
essary for her to do so. And, in or
der to do so, she must present as
lovely a figure to the world as it is in
her power to do. Now, can she do
this, and, at the same time, humiliate
herself by presenting a grotesque fig
ure? No. 1t Is impossible"
Supreme Court: Statutes may not al
ways be wise. Decisions may not al

can be corrected by orderly means.
Experience has shown that there is no
