The oxly Democratic Newspaper in Delaware County. * Sintered a* second class matter January 16. 1931, at the Postoffice - kt Muncle. Indiana, under the Act of March I, 1879 PRICK • CENTS—$2.00"a^YEAR. 223 North Elm £l<*eet—Telephone 2540 CHARLES H. DALE, Publisher. Geo, R. Dale, Editor. MuncieTlndianaT Friday7~April 17, 1931. Hoover Deserts Farm Board Following the demand of Senator David A. Reed (Rep. Pa.) that the Federal Farm Board be abolished and the declaration of Representative Will R. Wood (Rep. Ind.) that the board is “a fish in the pan,” President Hoover issued a statement concerning that body of his own creation, which '■ • the Baltimore Sun calls a “flagrant exhibition of irresponsible government.” The Sun says: “President Hoover washes his hands of responsibility for the Federal Farm Board. ‘The Board makes its own policies,’ says a statement from the White House. Tt was given authority to handle the situation. ... It is an independent body.’ “Thus another step is taken, ’ the Sun declares, to-, ward the climax of one of the most flagrant exhibitions of I irresponsible government in the history of the country. j Congress did not favor Mr. Hoover’s Federal Farm Board scheme. It had other plans for farm relief. Mr. Hoover would not approve thes*e. So to get something done Congress klunckled down and accepted his plan . . . but there wa sthe slightly extenuating circumstance that Mr. Hoover had given assurance that there were certain things the Farm Board would not do.” For example the Sun quotes President Hoover in outlining his scheme to Congress: “ ‘No government agency should engage in buying selling and price fixing of products for such courses can only lead to bureaucracy and domination.’ “Thus Congress had reason to believe,” the Sun con- | tinues, “that in intrusting enormous powers to a Farm I Board of Mr. Hoover’s creation it would not do these things which he so clearly Condemned. It is true some othero were skeptical of Mr. Hoover’s position. Some thought pricefixing inevitable under his scheme. But Congress profess- * ed to believe. The Board, however, has bought and sold and price- fi xed on a gigantic scale. And now, when it has ; produced a mess which is a serious menace to the entire country, the White House blithely announces that it is none of the President’s concern, because the Farm Board is an ‘independent body.’ What could be more irresponsible?” As to Mr. Hoover’s “great reverence for ‘independent’ bodies, such as the Interstate Commerce Commission to which he likens the Farm Board,” the Sun points out that Mr. Hoover suggested not long ago to the Interstate Com- - nierce Commission what ought to be done about railroad consolidation. “The difference here is,” says the Sun, “that the Farm Board is in a mes^ that Mr. Hoover would like, if possible, to avoid, whereas in the case of railroad consolidation he believed he had a good trick up his sleeve.”

Thanks C. Stone Following the publication of a story by Bill Daniels, street commissioner, on some of the phases of the unemployment relief methods pertaining to the ticket men system, he received the following letter and a check for ten dollars from Carrie Stone of Glen Mills, Pa. Her letter follows: ' “I just read a clipping from the Muncie paper written by you. It seems like an unbelievable condition, but I know it is true. I am enclosing a check for $10 to be used in any way that you think can help some the men most. “I, too, do not believe in charity, but you can use this and still make them feel independent. I am not very strong and have nothing extra to spend,, but 1 do have plenty of food and clothing and it makes one’s hear ache to think of the many thousands in our land who do not. My home is not very far from Muncie and I am glad to feel that I can help a little.” Three needy family heads received a day’s work from the money sent by the Pennsylvania woman and Bill declares that she has set an example that hundreds of others should follow.

Defines Democracy Speaking oh the subject of “What Is Democracy?” in a recent radio address, Jouett Shouse, Chairman of the Democratic National Executive Committee, answered the question as follows: “It is not a mere theory or state of mind. It is an actuality. It does not represent a demagoic attack upon business nor a servile fawning to any group however rich or powerful. It is essentially a form of government in which power is retained by the people and exercised by them through their duly selected agencies. Its very foundation stone is the right of the majority to ruTe. It does not cringe to organized minorities nor listen to the voice of mere expediency.” f Chairman Shouse quoted a definition by Woodrow Wilson, which is in part as follows: “ ‘Democracy is an energy of life dwelling in the rank and file, interpreted once and again by great leaders but not confined to their private culb and understanding. Its blood is the blood of the people. Its purposes are the purposes shared by all mankind. Its hopes are the hopes of all rational civilization. It is above all others a young man’s party because a party of movement, of readjustment.’ ” He cited Jefferson’s statement of the difference of principle between the two parties: “‘The one (Dmocratic) desires to preserve an entire independence of the Executive and Legislative on each other and the dependence of both on the same source—the free election of the’ people. The other party wishes to lessen the dependence of the Executive and of one branch of the Legislature on the people.’ ” Chairman Shouse pictured a central group—the great mass of the people—standing between the right and the left Wings of the Republican Party, which recognizes the crass selfishness of the one and the impractical idealism of the other. This vast center, Chairman Shouse said, “believes in the rights of private property in the encouragement of individual initiative. It believes in the tenets that have made this nation great and strong. ... It tries to follow the course that seems clearly charted with a definite goal in view—honest return for honest labor, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. ... It does not seek special privilege, and therefore it has not the incentive of improper reward to make it vocal. It does not believe in the theories of beauiiful but misunderstanding radicalism, and therefore it lacks the spirit of the zealot to interpret

its aims. It is simply a great incoherent mass of patriotic American men and women seeking to do their simple daily duty by their country and their God. In my judgment, it is this center for which the Democratic party stands and of which it is representative.” . . Chairman Shouse applied these principles to present day conditions and issues; to unemployment; the HooverGrundy tariff bill; the loss in foreign trade, resulting largely therefrom and declared that “the violation of the principles of Democracy during three Republican administrations had much to do with bringing ont the plight in which we find ourselves. “Does any one of my hearers believe,” he asked in conclusion, “that if in places of leadership had been men inspired by Jefferson and what he preached, the record of the past year and a half would have been so sterile?” Cut Tariff, Expert Says The high tariff as a factor in bringing on present depression and as a means of relief was the subject of an address recently by Benjamin M. Anderson, Jr., economist of the Chase National Bank, New York, before the Foreign Policy Association at Philadelphia. “The most serious obstacle in the way of early recovery is the state of our foreign trade,” says Mr. Anderson. “The most serious obstacle in the way of the revival of our foreign trade is our high protective tariffs.” Therefore, he declares, “the quickest way to get out of the existing depression is to reduce our tariffs” and thus stimulate foreign trade. Mr. Anderson told how Europe bought from the United States upon a large scale in 1919 and 1920, as long as this country would give her credit, only to find she had bought recklessly; in fact, had overbought manufacturers and merchants who had extended credit found themselves in debt and unable to collect in Europe, so that “our seeming prosperity of 1919 and early 1920 passed quirkly into the great crisis of 1920-21.” But, “we learned no lesson from this,” Mr. Anderson said. “Instead we raised the tariffs in 1922 . . . and for six and a half years sold in larger volume . . . credit . . . made possible by the inflow of the free gold of the world.” The change in the gold situation ni 1927-28, greatly reduced our ability to take foreign bonds, he continued, so that “in the latter part of 1929, the ability of the outside world to buy from us sharply and violently diminished.” In time, he said, this country and the world could readjust itself to the present tariff situation, but this would mean to curtail agricultural production, abandon farms, reduce production of automobiles, of copper, of oil, of cotton, of agricultural machinery and other important export lines, and crowd more of our population into lines engaged in producing for the domestic market. “But this,” Mr. Anderson declares, “is a slow process and a painful process, and an unnecessary process. “We can cut through and make this readjustment unnecessary if we restor our foreign trade, and we can do that by lowering the tariffs.”

mmm

law suits should now bd known as coftimon barrators instead of common coiincffmen.

King Alfonso de Bourbon at least had the foresight to refrain from making faces at Spain until he had safely pass ed the French border.

Since the republicans carried Spain there may be Something to the contention of Alfonso that a recount might help some.

But whether the election was square or not, one more king has been added to the army of the Unemployed.

The frequent introduction of Orator McNutt at dollar-a-plate democratic banquets as “the next governor of Indiana” may or may not be regarded as binding by the state convention next spring. Delegates are sometimes cold blooded.

In overruling the demurrer of Attorney General Ogden Friday morning Judge Harry O. Chamberlain of the Marion County Circuit Court refused to concur in the pleasant fiction that the truth is no defense. It seems that it takes more than the mere sifnature of a governor to obliterate the devious trail of House Bill Number 6, the validity of which is challenged by Muncie and Indianapolis.

Looking Up to Law The Star and the Press announce that councilmen are not disturbed in the least because their wages have been cut from $300 to $200 per year. Yet we have it on undeniable authority that eight of these undisturbed statesmen were seen at one time Thursday in the law library of the circuit court frantically p«w ing over law books trying to find some law or other that will permit them to draw the unauthorized salary they have been drawing for fifteen months. As a matter of fact these councilmen have been so busy looking for law that will hamper the executive branch of the city government that it had never occurred to them before that the law was meant for them as well as others

The City Attorney Acted Regardless of statements to the contrary the mayor had nothing whatever to do with looking up the law which limits the pay.of councilmen to $200. City Attorney Tauginbaugh made the legal investigation without even mentioning the matter to the mayor until he had concluded his study of the situation. Neither was the mayor consulted as to the wording of the letter Mr. Taughinbaugh addressed to members of the council. The mayor did not know what was in the letter until he read it in the Press Thursday afternoon. It was

a very good letter, however.

Mr. Taughinbaugh merely did what should be expected of a city attorney who has the interest of the city at heart when he ruled that elective city officials are not entitled to eqpipensation in excess of that allowed them by statute. When the mayor was urging the enactment of a law that would put the public officials of Muncie, including the councilmen, on a salary scale something near equal to that of other second claSs cities, eleven members of the council in a telegram to Lieutenant-Governor denounced it as

salary grab.

If the bill had passed, the salaries would have been legal, at any rate, which cannot be said of the salaries these councilmen have been getting.

Dalby Spring Cleaned In the rush of the spring cleaning ex-city Clerk Maynal Dalby was certainly spring cleaned, for he and Mrs. Dalby i ecently made an assignment of their entire properties to the Merchants Trust & Savings Co. The ex-city clerk who tied in his personal business with the finances of the city court and was unable to separate the two, found out that the bankers and lawyers could separate his accounts, and also separate Dalby from everything he had, even his shirt. Dalby is under indictment for embezzling public funds and scheduled for trial on May 20. The Dalby properties as revealed EXCLUSIVELY in The Post-Democrat last w . e ? k ^ A ^y olved in rec eivership and mortgage litigation with $50,000 dr more of paper plastered on his lots, business, etc. Right now Dalby is the best example of a chap who starts with nothing, builds up a fortune with the aid of public money in his custody and then loses all to the financial geniuses in the end.

Common Barrators

A “common barrator” is described by Indiana statute as one who. stirs up litigation in his community and pre-

scribes a fine and imprisonment.

Councilmen were romping all over town this week trying to induce different individuals to become plaintiffs in a suit they were stirring up against the city they misrepre-

sent as councilmen.

They failed to find anyone who would act as the fall guy and had to fall back on their old standby, City Clerk

Ridgeway.

30 DAYS SENTENCE

(Continued From Page One) „ • Now since we published what resulted to be the EXCLUSIVE story of the arrest of Dr. Beeson for the violation he bragged about in The Press and so far the EXCLUSIVE story of the arrest of Dr. Beeson for the violation he •bragged about in The Press and so far the EXCLUSIVE story of his being fined and sentencing on admission of guilt there has been some discussion of just how much of Docs troubles was news. Doc didn’t ask us to keep his name out of The PostDemocrat even if he did make a similar request from the daily newspapers and we don’t recall The Press printing an apology or correction concerning the braggard interview in the afternoon daily so Doc must be pretty well satisfied with the notice he has obtained in bearing out to the world his published intention to prescribe liquor if the occasion And just because he PRESCRIBED IT FOR HIMSELF is no particularly good reason for any newspaper trying to hush up Doc's tribulations with prohibition.
