SLUMBERING GARDENS OF EDEN
Some of the sections of this part of our country are still
slumbering gardens of Eden.
However, these sections are slowly awakening, and when
they do, they will see the gateway open wide to the road that
leads to gigantic progress and prosperity for this community.
And those that try to tell the story of their city will find
the words of the English language inadequate to express the
many good things that are contained therein.
Their natural resources will be so great that when they
tell the story it will attract thousands to those favored spots of
nature. It will be a story of fact—not fiction. It will be a
story of how effectively the elements of love, labor, sincerity
and vision enter into the community life of our people. It will
be a story of high ideals—<a story of dreams that come true.
Are you one of those citizens to tell this story—or do you
still slumber? It will be a story of A DEAD PAST AND A
LIVE FUTURE.

DAY OF RECKONING COMING.
The time is ripe, in the opinion of many qualified ob-
servers, for an upset of the constantly growing army of bureau-
crats that will take us at least part of the way back to funda-
mental American principles of government.
The public shows signs that it is tired of being taxed, regu-
lated and legislated to death* Most of the economic, political
and social reforms that have met with enthusiastic political
reception in the last decade or so have been shown up for the
empty things they are. They are caused, at least in part, ex-
cessive taxation, business retrenchment, depression and un-
employment. A majority of American citizens are principally
interested in business and industrial progress. Yet an organ-
'ized minority has done everything possible to make that pro- Uomeslio Commerce it
gress difficult. Government by commission—which has beeniton. “Problems in Foreign
replacing government by the people—has produced sad fruits Competition from the Export-
in this country.
Those theorists and “commissionists” who have flourished Reed, cotton merchant of Aus-
so strongly in recent years may be in for a day of reckoning. : ^n> '

CENTER’S TRAFFIC LAWS
The traffic law observance in the city of Center is terrible.
No doubt the editor is as bad as any other autoist in the city,
but he tries to observe the law and about the parking problem
—why park your car in the middle of the street where no one
else can pass? You could just as easily drive up parallel to
the curb and park as one should, as to stop in the center of the
street, or to park your car head on into the curb and leave the
rear of the car protruding into the streets.
The most dangerous place in the whole business district
of Center is the stop sign located at the corner of Shelbyville
and Logansport streets. Very seldom does any one stop and
observe the sign—they hurry on over the little sign that reads
“STOP” and in many cases endanger many lives. However,
Center has been very fortunate in the way of accidents—it
would be safe to say there has never been a person run-down
on that intersection. BUT you can never tell—so think, mo-
torists, and take the traffic laws seriously—they are a help to
the city. If they dont’ do any good, why have them?
——-----o--------
THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT
The special assessment, that old political stand-by, has
become one of the most burdensome of governmental imposi-
tions. Often such assessments cost the public far more than
they can ever return, in benefits or increased property value.
They add unnecessarily to 4he tremendous tax burden indus-
try and property-owners are already carrying. They can, in
extreme cases, bring community progress to an end, by stifling
it with debt. Care in the matter of special assessments must
be an important factor in any progress of tax reduction.
