NATIONAL ROAD TRAVELED CAMBRIDGE CITY. THURSDAY, DEC. 2, INS SESQUICENTENNIAl LAND OF TAXES In some places In Indiana today some good-hearted, civic-minded citizens are offering to give Indiana Sesquicentennial bumper plates In exchange for those nasty "INDIANA, Land of Taxes" affairs we see on a few automobiles. Indiana, land of taxes, indeed! Sure, we have high taxes but they will compare favorably with taxes in surrounding states. Check the figures and see for yourself.

And, in any event, local and state taxes don't hold a candle to those levied by the federal government. Many people don't realize that what we have in Indiana is paid for. Indiana has no state debt. If we are paying what seem to be high taxes its because our state is on a pay-as-you-go basis. Indiana is not issuing general obligation bonds or revenue bonds.

We are not passing our debts on to our children! Neither do we, Hoosiers, have to pay a lot of interest on debts. There are no debts. Before anyone hooks an "Indiana, Land Of Taxes" tag on his car he should see what surrounding states have been and are getting themselves' into. And they should read about Indiana's experience with this sort of bond issuing some 130 years ago and what happened then. Hoosiers long ago learned something about their state's going into debt for things they "just had to have now" and wrote a constitution forbidding state debt Over in Ohio Ohio three bond issues have been approved by voters since 1962.

One was for $250 million for 'educational purposes, one for $500 million for highway construction and one for $290 million for pipe lines, buildings, mental health and other things. There was little opposition to this vast outlay except in rural areas. No new taxes were proposed to pay for all this. Over in Illinois, in 1962, with a promise that no new taxes would be added, the people voted themselves a $345 million general obligation bond -Issued by more than a two-thircls majority when officials pledged "no additional taxes." People readily understood "the services were needed now." Down in Kentucky they have issued $340 million in general obligations since 1956. Just recently they took on a new Issue of $176 million.

They propose no new taxes, directly or indirectly, to repay this $176 million. A tax on heavy trucks, specifically pledged to retire their 1956 issues has never yielded enough to begin to do the Job. West Virginia was limited to R. V. McGRADY AUCTIONEER R.

No new taxes contemplated. Tennessee requires no voters' approval to issue bonds. In 1963 its General Assembly authorized J90 million and in 1965, $60 million additional. Virginia has no restrictions on bond issues and since 1881 has issued none. They're still paying for that issue of eighty-four years ago; Most of us remember the situation in Michigan a few years ago when they spent so much they couldn't borrow any more and had no money to pay state employees.

They had to go to industry and collect taxes in advance to begin to get out of their predicament. There is no need to go on down the roll of states. Is there any need for us to advertise, "Indiana, Land Of Taxes?" Perhaps we should advertise, "Indiana, Land Of No State Debt." Petition For Conservancy District Expected Early In 1966 RICHMOND At the recent meeting at the Wayne County Courthouse, the Whitewater Valley Watershed Association announced that the petitioning for the establishment of a converv- ancy district is scheduled to be done during January and early February, 1966. A conservancy district will be organized in parts of Wayne, Randolph, Henry, Fayette. Union and Franklin Counties.

Floyd Howard, association president, pointed out that this local organization of government is needed to provide the local administration required to carry out the watershed projects in this area. Before and during the petition circulation time, a public information program will be carried out to tell people about the benefits of watershed development of the natural resources of the Whitewater Valley. Both the information and petitioning will be directed in each county by the local Soil and Water Conservation Districts. The Whitewater Valley Watershed Association serve to coordinate these local organizations. Government agencies such as the Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service and the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service are being called upon to assist these local groups in carrying out the conservation development objectives.

Final plans were made for the W.V.W. Association annual meeting on Dec. 2 at the CentervUle High School Cafetorlum. Dinner is at 6:30 p.m. L.

Bennett Coy, guest speaker for the annual meeting, has had many years of practical experience working with conservancy districts. He will speak on conservancy districts and resource conservation and development. Mr. Coy is Secretary Treasurer of thte Miami Conservancy District at Dayton, Ohio, and President of the Ohio Conservancy Districts Conference, an organization "of 35 conservancy districts. All persons interested In water resource conservation are Invited.

Dinner tickets may be obtained from the Extension Office or the Soil Conservation Office in each county. One of the most enjoyable blessings of cold weather is the warm fireside. That, says the Institute For Safer Living, Is just where motorists should remain unless It Is really essential to drive on dark stormy roads. 4 HIGHER EARNINGS ON CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSITS tenfonville STATE BANK Bank by Mail OPEN 0 TO 3 CLOSED ALL DAY MONDAY OPEN TIL 7iOO P.

Ago NEW YORK Van Syckle announced 100 yean ago his plans to build a five-mile pipeline from a Pennsylvania oil- Held to a railroad terminus, local citizens ridiculed the Idea. Now the a underground system of petroleum pipelines stretches some 213,700 miles, and continues to grow dally. Commemorating the 100th anniversary year of petroleum- pipelining, the'current issue of Petroleum Today describes the hurdles faced by Va Syckle in establishing the first line, and how the oil pipeline industry has progressed since those early days. Van Syckle completed the first successful major oil pipeline at Pithole, Oct. 10, 1865 six years after drilling of the first successful oil well.

At the time, oil was moved to market by teamsters or boatmen, mostly in wooden barrels. Transportation was inefficient, expensive and dangerous. Besides the doubts of the citizenry, Van Syckle also had to overcome the animosity often expressed in violent form of the teamsters. His first pipeline was 2 inches in diameter. Today's pipelines are often 36 inches in diameter.

U.S. oil pipelines transport about 400 million gallons of oil and oil products daily and approximately 44 per cent of all oil and oil products moved in America annually. The charge for carrying oil through the original five-mile line was per barrel. Modern pipelines transport a barrel of oil almost 2,000 miles for as little as 35 cents or less than a penny per gallon. "Economy is the nature of the pipeline," reports Petroleum Today.

"There are no empty wagons, trucks or vessels of any kind to return. Natural obstacles play a comparatively minor role (huge pumps push the oil up and over steep hills), and the underground line is safe from storms." But pipeline construction costs are substantial. The recently completed Colonial pipeline from Texas to New York represents an investment of more than $370 million and is the largest single privately financed construction project In the nation's history. Pipelines are made of. tough steel, wrapped and coated In plastic and other materials to make them waterproof and corrosion- resistant.

Single sections are as long as 60 feet Through complicated and sophisticated automatic equipment, pipeline dispatchers now can control the movement of several "batches" of different petroleum products through one line dropping off Individual batches at various terminal points as desired. Yet once a pipeline la placed In. the earth, and grass and shrubbery are restored, there Is no visible reminder of the silent, steady flow of petroleum products passing under our feet. Drivers should practice moderation In all things, Including their brakes. The Institute For Safer Living says never apply full brakes on a slippery surface or what appears to be one.

Alternately press and release the brake peddle to help maintain steering 1 control while slowing the car. Even on dry surfaces, make it a practice to stop moderately, not suddenly. CITY.
