Tax fears rise as state debt grows in Indiana
Indiana news from Indianapolis reports that with the current 12¢ tax per $100, the state debt is increasing by 400,000 to 600,000 dollars annually. Gov Hovey and others urge higher taxation to preserve credit, while Republicans and editors warn against Democratic extravagance. Incendiary fires lead to a five year old boy’s arrest and confession in a church blaze and other arsons. Various political shifts, county assessments, and local incidents fill the ledger alongside social notes, accidents, and population counts in multiple towns. The piece also mentions national politics, Behring Sea tensions, and demographic snapshots of Chicago neighborhoods as context.

Posey county Republicans split over Wardesville ticket turmoil
In Posey county Indiana the straight Republican faction teeters between sustaining a nominee and bolting. Wadesville bolters gain support while the official committee contends no convention will be held. Democrats consolidate a solid base, with predictions of a sizable majority next fall. Local notes: Munroe succeeds Pulliam at the high school, Baden club defeated, population around 4,775, modest Fourth of July, weak wheat, and drought-impacted corn prospects.
