A $22,043 warrant, it will be used to pay December bills. The obligations will be in addition to anticipation warrants totaling $81,000 which have been issued against taxes to be collected next year.

Of the $70,000 deficit, approximately $29,000 was carried over from the fiscal year of 1937-38. Meanwhile J. A. Kruzan, township accounting supervisor, reported that relief costs for December, amounting to $52,199,28, had increased approximately $6,000 over the November bill. The increase, he said, was brought about by a larger case and colder weather.

The case load was increased by 249 cases to 1,791, according to Mr. Kruzan, Expenditures listed by Mr. Kruzan included: food, rent, clothing, fuel, county home and infirmary, $1,259.65 medical, hospital, household necessities, $390.10 burials and ambulance service, surplus commodities, moving and hauling $12.87 and administration $2,852.43. Charles Brown Freed After Probe of Wreck Car, Parked on Highway, Struck in Fog by Truck Charles Brown, 20-year-old Negro, of 525 South Main street, was released by sheriff's authorities today after being questioned about a wreck in which he was involved early this morning on route 48 near Oreana. According to the sheriff's report, Brown was parked on the pavement headed south, about onefourth mile north of Oreana, when a truck and trailer driven by Patrick Dennis O'Hara of St.

Louis smashed into the rear of Brown's machine. O'Hara reported that there was a heavy fog and he could not see far ahead. He said that the lights of Brown's car were not on. Brown's machine was knocked off the pavement by the impact, but no one was injured. There was no license on Brown's machine, according to the sheriff's office.

Brown last June was acquitted of manslaughter by a circuit court jury after he admitted throwing a brick that killed Ernest J. Bailey, Decatur millworker. The sheriff's report today stated that Brown purchased his machine six weeks ago but had not applied for a license.

Son of Judge Greer Dies in Lafayette, Ind. Word of the death yesterday of Ford Greer 75, at his home in Lafayette, was received here today by Mr. and Mrs. T. S.

Ronan, 454 East Decatur street, with whom Mr. Greer visited last summer. Mr. Greer, who was born in Decatur, lived here until about 25 years ago when he moved to Lafayette. He had been engaged in the livery and horse racing business there.

His wife, whom he married in Lafayette, died there six years ago. Mr. Greer's father was the late Judge Samuel F. Greer, who served as county judge of Macon county for 24 years 1861 to 1885. A sister of Mr.

Greer, the late Mrs. W. R. Abbott. was prominent in club and civic affairs here for many years.

Funeral services for Mr. Greer were to be held at 2 p. m. today, with burial in Lafayette, Roosevelt's Message Text (Continued from Page Three) large items, such as aids to agriculture and soil conservation, veterans' pensions, flood control, highways, waterways and other public works, grants for social and health security, Civilian Conservation corps activities, relief for the unemployed, or national defense. The Congress alone has the power to do all this, as it is the appropriating branch of the government.

Nation Wants Continued Spending The other approach to the question of government spending takes the position that this nation ought not to be and need not be only a 60 billion dollar nation; that at this moment it has the men and the resources sufficient to make it at least an 80 billion dollar nation. This school of thought does not believe that it can become an 80 billion dollar nation in the near future if government cuts its operations by one-third. It is convinced that it we were to try it, we would invite disaster-that we would not long remain even a 60 billion dollar nation. There are many complicated factors with which we have to deal, but we have learned that it is unsafe to make abrupt reductions at any time in our net expenditure program. By our common sense action of resuming government activities last spring, we have reversed a recession and started the new rising tide of prosperity and national income which we are now just beginning to enjoy.

It government activities are fully maintained, there is a good prospect of our becoming an 80 billion dollar country in a very short time. With such a national income, present tax laws will yield enough each year to balance each year's expenses. It is my conviction that down i in their hearts the American public -industry, agriculture, finance wants this Congress to do whatever needs to be done to raise our national income tc 80 billion dollars a year. Investing soundly must preclude spending wastefully. To guard against opportunist appropriations, I have on several occasions addressed the Congress on the importance of permanent long-range planning.

I hope, therefore, that following my recommendation of last year, a permanent agency will be set up and authorized to report on the urgency and desirability of the various types of government investment. Investment for prosperity can be made in a democracy. Greatest Danger Lies Outside U.S. I hear some people say "This is all so complicated. There are certain advantages in a dictatorship.

It gets rid of labor trouble, of unemployment, of wasted motion and of having to do your own thinking." My answer is "Yes, but it also gets rid of some other things which we Americans intend very definitely to keep-and we still intend to do our own thinking." It will cost us taxes and the voluntary risk of capital to attain some of the practical advantages which other forms of goverpment have acquired. Dictatorship, however, involves costs which the American people will never pay: The of our spiritual values. The cost of the blessed right of being able to say what we please. The cost of freedom of religion. The cost of seeing capital confiscated.

The cost our of being cast into concentration camp. The cost of being afraid to walk down the street with the wrong neighbor. The cost of having our children brought up not as free and dignified human beings, but as pawns molded and enslavled by the a avoidance machine. of these costs means taxes on my income; if avoiding these costs means taxes on my estate at death, I would bear those taxes willingly as the price of my breathing and my children breathing the free air of a free country, as the price of a living and not a dead world. Events abroad have made it increasingly clear to the American people that dangers within are less to be feared than dangers from without.

It therefore a solution of this problem of idle men and idle capital is the price of preserving our liberty, no formless selfish fears can stand in our way. Once I prophesied that this generation of Americans had a rendezvous with destiny. That proA phesy comes true. To us much is given; more is expected. This generation wili "nobly save or meanly lose the last best hopes of earth the way is plain, peaceful, generous, just-a way which if followed the world will forever applaud and God must forever bless." FORTNER RITES THURSDAY Funeral services for John F.

Fortner, 70, of 1436 North Morgan street, retired plasterer and brickmason, will be conducted at 11:30 a. m. tomorrow in the Moran Sons chapel. Burial will be in Graceland cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home.

Marion Coroner Under Arrest Charged with Shooting Centralia Policeman Stocks Rally After Slump Upturn Follows President's Message By Associated Press NEW YORK stock market rallied modestly today as Wall Street awaited President Roosevelt's message to Congress. Leaders, near the fourth hour, had achieved gains of fractions to a point or more. The upturn came after a poor start, and volume was restrained through most of the session. At the head of the movement were the steel and rails, expected to benefit from any rearmament legislation Congress may enact. Aviation shares, which dipped badly yesterday, came back, for the most part, in small advances.

Oils, metals and utilities were neglected. In boardrooms the rally was taken as evidence yesterday's shakedown had exhausted most of the profit realization due after the year-end lift and that legislation in view at Washington might be expected to benefit business. Bonds turned higher, but commodities tended downward. European markets were quiet but steady. Sterling recovered sharply from yesterday's slump and the French franc was a little higher.

Wisher pulled his gun to club the coroner, the chief continued, and accidently shot the justice, Thomas A. Bennett, in the hip.
