CITY COUNCIL CUTS
 TAX RATE IN HALF
5ia Mills Will Be Sufficient If Grand List Is Not Re
 duced.
Budget TnereAsed By Change In Street Sprinkiing Financing

After the water question had been disposed of by the common council Tuesday evening the mayor alder men, and heads of departments tack led the annual city budget to be voted on at the annual city meeting the first Monday in March with the following result:
 The total of the appropriations re- commended bv the council Is s56, 050, which is s2,450 more than last year. This Is accounted for by a change in the method of paying for street sprinklinR Heretofore the cost of xprinkling the streets with oil has been assessed against the abutters of the streets sprinkled. Hereafter the cost Is to be paid by all citizens. as the s2.500 necessary for sprinkling has been added to the highway np- propriation and, like other current exepenses, will be raised by taxation. an increase of sE00. Sewer upkeep.
 Based On Present Grand List
 The. council based it's tax levy re- commendation on the grand list as recently completed and advise a rate of f-2 mills with an extra l-2 mill for sewer reduction fund. Unless there Is material decrease in the grand list approved by the board of assessors in evidence after the board of relief has concluded it's work the tax rate as recommended win be sufli- cient. Last year the total city tax rate was II mills. This was made up of a general tax of 1-2 mills and a sewer tax of 1-2 mills. This year the council was able to reduce the sewer tax to half mill because the bonded indebtedness has been reduced to S60.000.

Watch for the Sneakers

With but two weeks before the general election, two
certantes appear in the political situation.
The first is that Herbert Hoover will be the next
President Every straw vote and poll indicates this re-
suit If there be any unprecedented observers, either
native expert visitors, they agree that Indiana will
cast her ballot for the secretary.
The second certainty, is that tribe of unfit and
undesrables trying to get into Office in Indiana with
no other hope than that the people will be so enthusi
astc for Hoover that they can sneak into the back
door while he enters from the front.
The hope of the hooded order of hate is that IEslie
will be carried to the statehouse in an avalanche of
straight party votes He has no other reason to expect
election. His nomination, manipulated by the former
dragons after Leslie had ran poor fifth in the priar-
les, should predict this result.
Had there been any doubt his own reckless and
Daley should have insured it.
Let it not be forgotten that Leslie furnished at the
same time the way to his own unmasking He declared
that federal Judge A. B. Anderson forced Daley to
prosecute crooks and that the judge kicked Daley
into glory
Judge Anderson promptly said that the statement
was untrue and that Daley had been vglant jealous
and upright"
That should have called forth an apology to the
Nsople, but Leslie let the lie ride
In this county the Coffin nominees depend upon the
same Hoover enthusiasm for their election They want
power to Strangle every progressive movement.
This county has suffered much from Coffnism. 1t
will suffer more if he is again given license and power
Every impulse that impels decent Republicans to
vote for Hoover should mpel them quite as strongly
to clean up the state and get rid of Coffin.

WaVering Prosperity

That Europe still faces a critical
problem, that the problem centers
around the reparations question and
that America, after ten years of re-
iteration, finally has made it under
stood that she will not permit the
reparations question and war debts
to be entangled, seems to be a justi-
fable inference. Though most
European countries have made good
progress in reconstruction, much re-
mains to be done.
The latest dispatches say that
crops are bad and business poor.
Especially in Germany, Poland and
Czecho SIovakia. This seems to be
borne out by the prevalence of
strikes and lockouts. One hundred
thousand men are on strike in Ger
many right now, while employers
are threatening to lock out $4,000
more.
This condition goes back to the in
ability of those countries to compete
with American producers on existing
wage scales. Part of that inability is
due to a demoralized money market
at home and the necessity of bor-
rowing capital from abroad, neither
of which conditions can be cleared
up until the Preparations controversy
has been settled,

Hoover's New York Address

Once men lived only for the state. That was state
slavery Against came revolution Out of that grew
ndivdualsm.
But the new-found freedom brought it's own abuses.
Individualism ran amuck. Grown drunk with the
philosophy of laissez fae the powerful preyed upon
the weak And SO men turned to the state for help
Thus the state in new guise but the state neverhe
less again to limit the individual The pendulum
started it's backward swing.
At each extreme of that pendulum, liberty is
stiied.
To find the happy medium is statesmanship'S
greatest problem.
Herbert Hoover in his New York address, presents
mastery appeal for individualism as against bu-
reaucracy.
bureaucracy he says "does not tolerate the spirit
of independence; it spreads the spirit of submission
into our daily life and penerates the temper of our
people, not with the habit of powerful resistance to
wrong, but with the habit OF tlmld acceptance OF IT.
resctible might.
bureaucracy ever is DESTROYS of spreading its nfu-
ence and it's power. You cannot extend mastery of
the government over the daily working life OF peo-
pie without at the time making it the master
of the peoples souls and thoughts
cit is the road not to more liberty but to less
liberty Liberalism should be found not striving to
spread bureaucracy but striving to set bounds to it,
Of the abuses of individuals, he says:
"I am defining general policy. Nor do wish to
