Rotarians Install New Officers; Hear Mexico Report Theodore T.

Wood was installed as president of the Angola Rotary Club last Friday evening in a ladies' night program. Several guests swelled the attendance to well over the hundred mark. Edward D.

Willis presented the incoming president with a president's lapel button and in return the new president, Mr. Wood, presented the outgoing president with a past president's button. Later in the evening Melvin W. Kratz, chairman of the arrangements committee, presented R. E.

Willis, who had just finished his term as district governor, with a district governor's lapel button.

Love said that the sport showed much dexterity and cleverness on the part of the man engaged, but the bull seemed to be at a disadvantage as he never had a chance to bat. Mr. Love said the most beautiful sight he witnessed was the clouds breaking to give a glimpse of the snow capped peaks Popocatepetl and the twin mountain Ixtaccihuatl. Mrs. Love reported the home life of Mexican people as she observed it through acquaintances gained with representatives of the Women's Federation of clubs, she being given special courtesies by the president of the Federation in Mexico.

The travelers expressed appreciation of some of the finer things of art, music and hospitality shown in Mexico, and also expressed the belief that while the country would have to progress in its own way, that with the opening of communication and transportation much advance may be expected in the years to come. The reports given at the meeting Friday evening will be elaborated upon in articles to appear in these columns during the next four weeks.

Dr. Don Harpham is president. BIRTHS In Cameron Hospital, Angola, July 5th. 1935, to Mr. and Mrs.

Harry Klink, a son Robert Lawrence, first child, weight 6 lb. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Churgo, Scott July 1, a daughter, first child. To Mr.

and Mrs. Coral Straw, tax" plan finds no favor with the very rich. But the average taxpayer sheds no tears because the millionaires are asked to pay more in proportion to their ability. Neither is it unfair to them. The protection of property rights, the millions spent for such things as kidnapper hunts and prosecution, subsidy of the merchant marine and in scores of other ways is largely for the benefit of the very rich.

All good citizens want them protected, safeguarded in every way, but they have too long enjoyed rights and advantages out of proportion to their tax burdens. The poor man is usually hurt when he pays taxes. To most rich men it Is just another book-keeping entry made by someone else while the boss Is on the golf course or perhaps away on his yacht. COXHUMERS SATISFIED The picture is now reversed, but no one seems to be making capital out of it. When Indiana's gross income tax was new state border cities raised a howl about trade going over into other states.

Now, our neighboring states all have 3 sales taxes and you have to pay on the line with every purchase. That is bringing trade into Indiana from our sis ter states. Merchants are happy all around the edges of Indiana but in the center of the state they are still fighting to shift the small gross income tax onto the shoulders of the consumer. Professional organizers and a few political aspirants in the Republican party recently have taken a new lease on life through the raising of a large slush fund to be used in bombarding the State Administration with a fake popular appeal for a "special session" of the legislature. The taxpayers and the public is catching onto that political devise which already has been ov-worked in off-election years.

And consumers are not going to be misled into taking on the governmental responsibilities of retail merchants. The retail business has improved better than 12 and the farmer's income is up 23, yet there are politicians who would shift more taxes to the consumer. Governor McNutt has Indiana in a souud financial and tax position today. The public is asking nothing better. GREATEST IX lOO YEARS President Roosevelt's social security bill has been characterized the "greatest piece of social legislation in 100 years' by a churchman who addressed a gathering at Butler University.

Within its provisions for pensioning the aged, this speaker, an expert on church pensions, sees possibilities that after thirty years of the Roosevelt plan, poor houses will be vanished, taxes will be reduced for care of the aged and public poor relief rolls will be a thing of the past. With a wholly non-partisan appraisal of the legislation, he said: "It will spell the ultimate doom of the poorhouse and undoubtedly will practicajly eliminate most of the institutional homes for the aged. It will give a sense of stability and security to the millions of salaried people as they toil through their active years. They will now that at the end there will be something for their old age which they have helped to create. Much of the unrest and discontent among the laboring classes may be done away with by this plan." MOLDING PUBLIC OPINION Pseudo-economists and learned experts who are at the beck and call of the money princes and the reactionaries are a positive blight to progress.

Several months ago, the money-bags called forth their vassals to campaign against the communistic idea of insuring bank deposits. They told the people the idea was economically unsound and would bankrupt the state and nation. But President Roosevelt put it over and now 125 million people praise him for it. A similar campaign was waged by the money hoarders against the old age pension, but progress would not be stopped. When the State of Indiana proposed to establish a sinking found for public deposits, another campaign of objection was started.

The fund to date has saved taxpayers $3,164,186 in public money that otherwise would have been lost in closed banks. Even the reactionaries are happy that this plan worked against their first desires, for now they are not being called upon to pay that $3,000,000 in additional taxes. The same money princes waged a campaign with the help of mail-order economists All dealers in used automobile and parts, regardless of whether these times constitute a major portion of their business, are required to obtain state licenses under a new law which became effective July 1, it is stated by Mrs. Zella Buck, local auto license branch manager, at whose office application blanks for licenses and copies of the law have been received.
