THE MAYOR'S CORNER
SAFE-GUARD USE OF SECURITIES
Easy to Vote for Board f Issue-Hard to Pay '
For It
A recent paragraph in the In-
public credit, causing declines in outstanding issues and loss to investors. They absorb funds from the investment markets which
(Continued from Page One.) very first acts in public office was to frustrate a council plan to fasten upon you a bonded debt of $125,000 for a useless airport. / Reviled and execrated by your daily newspapers apd by those who would have profited by the bond issue I took my medicine and stood pat. If I had been stampeded into acquiescence in this neat little plot to help the needy bankers, by this time you would have paid the banks at least fifteen thousand dollars in interest alone, on the proposed bond issue, and the next generation would be paying, world without end. By a strange oversight the preceding .admin istration neglected its opportunity to bond the city up to the constitutional percent limit. It may not have occurred to the gentlemen, in their busy moments of serving crooked contractors and privileged law violators, that they were overlooking a bet. ' . ' Anyhow it’s your luck that the civil city still has a million dollars leeway in the matter of possible bonded indebtedness. You have all witnessed the pouring of the vials of wrath upon the helpless head of the mayor for steadfastly refusing to be sandbagged by the state board of health and greedy local interests into what the mouthpieces of the grafters are pleased to call “cleaning up the river.” They have come at me from every angle. They say it will only cost you a “few cents” a year in taxes. They tell you Anderson will sue Muncie and that farmers will get judgments. They are just a bunch of liars. It would place a burden of hundreds of dollars on every lot in Muncie. The interest on the project would exceed the initial cost. Just at this time, with everybody broke, it would be worse than murder for me to consent to this interest-grabbing scheme, that would impoverish thousands. Those who listen to the liars and believe, and who add their weak voices to the slogan “clean up the river,” ought to be sent to the nearest insane asylum for mental treatment. It is the duty of the mayor of Muncie to protect the citizens thereof and to defend them from the insidious propaganda of extortioners- Muncie is a solvent, going institution, and I am going to keep it that way. So the dogs may keep on howling for their bone. They don’t git it. One reason why! contended against the terrific slash in the tax rate here made by the council and the state tax board was that it would eventually force Muncie to borrow. For two years Muncie has neither borrowed nor issued bonds. We adopted Milwaukee’s pay-as-you-
go plan.
We should not be forced to do in two years what it required Milwaukee fifteen years to accomplish. An honest, fair tax rate should have been maintaineed and the process of restoration should have been gradual. ' ■ f The council started in at the beginning, however, to restrain the executive departments from doing many things the‘ way of permanent improvements. This was accomplished by court actions and by refusing to make appropriation for the simplest necessities. In January, 1931,/ the balance in the general fund had jumped from nothing one year before to
$71,000.
If we had shown a balance of twenty thousand the record would have been satisfactory,' and I believe, beyond your expectations. It would have satisfied me, and we would have expended fifty thousand dollars more in 1930 for things you need and would have given employment to many persons who
are now on the township.
The council, partly through ignorance, but mainly by design, hampered expenditures by refusal to appropriate for things the city needed, and thus in making its ridiculously low levy in 1931, justified its course by pointing out the large balance on hand in the general fund the first of that year. The council during the year 1931 maintained the same attitude of niggardly refusal to appropriate for the city’s needs and the balances showed big the first of this year. The council was hypocritical and unfair but in spite of all that many things were
accomplished.
The tax rate is now so low that unless something is done to create a sufficient revenue to meet expenditures Muncie will again be forced back into the old rut of borrowing and floating bond issues and will again become a banker’s paradise, and at the end of my administration the balances will be wiped out and drastic increases in the tax levy will become imperative if the interest accounts of the
bankers are to be met.
You will probably remember that during the course of the tax levy controversy last fall, the former president of the council, who is an employe of the Muncie Star, made the public statement that if various budget items were too low, it would be easy for the council to issue certificates of indebtedness
and get money at the banks.
Which impels me to wonder who the council is working for, the banks or the people of Muncie. As
I recall it the daily newspapers here at that time Now a11 ° ther veterans drawing regarded the statement of Mr. Parkinson as the Tne ™ta„T ,f
vestor’s Column ot .he New York fTtnn baske !; Sun is well worth repes.lng-anj y °“ “ ll ‘ read K a " rw , ay nembevinsr It said- iknow what one subscriber to your rremoenng. sam. Ipaper and loyal voter has to say. Excessive use of public secure j even though it never gets in print
ties” (city, county, state and fed-! so here goes
eral bonds) “is damaging to the
utterance of a statesman and a financier- In the Star’s story of Milwaukee Mayor Hoan of that city denominates certificates of indebtedness as a “terrible curse.” I know it caused me to curse terribly when the daily newspapers here took Mr. Parkinson’s statement seriously. I would like to repeat to you some of the words I said but you know in this radio game the ladylike censors at Washington have.laid down certain rules governing the language that goes out on the air, so just consider everything said that ought to have been said and we will let it go at that. A citizen carded the Press one day this week to inform the general public that he didn’t like the way the council is acting up and says he will never vote the democratic ticket again. If he considers the erratic performances of the present council to be a picture of democracy in gen eral I am asking the brother to roll over on the other side and make room for me. That reminds me that the new president of the council is a union carpenter. In fact the council is what might be called a labor body. They might work at the job a little by looking after the interests of labor instead of the banks. A great many laboring men might be put to work if the council would dismiss its injunction suit that has tied up the gaso-
line tax money.
That could hardly be expected, though. The bank has the money now, paying the city two percent for its use and loaning it out to people who leave their right eye for security and pay the bank
eight percent, or is it eighty?
If that council is a democrat council I’m an anarchist and if it’s a labor- body the Lord help the
unemployed.

THE STAR REFITS
□
Editor Post Democrat:
This article, giving my thoughts on three different items, in. your
First—“Eleven of Council Scored by Mayor.” Can anyone blame the mayor for being disgusted with a council body who holds up the
micoo hnitm- hp Ipft available 11186 of the K as <> lin e tax money at a agailiKt Ih. tteH, wlien 7b« W* ml' ™ have Y,,, to delay inevitable readjustments “^d of *
in prices and wages and thus pro-
long the depression.”
Easy To Decline
One has only to glance over the
the ones now working
would only make more ticket men? The thing to do is keep the men who are working, get some action , out of the council and put this
price-listings of bonds issued hyj gago j} ne ^ ax money to work and various governmental divisions— |hire men to work> an<1 there won . t principally state and county to jrjQ so man y ticket men. It is a lot see how common it is for them to more honor to make a decent livgo into a decline. Some of them j ng of your own than being t{cket have no present value whatever, m en on the county. Why don’t the and perhaps never will have. They people needing work go after their have served no useful purpose. 'councilman until they are ready to public funds—and in many cases vote out this money for repair work
while the weather is good and the peed is so great. This money has been raised for this purpose, so I am somewhat disgusted, along with the mayor at hoarding it, ami the money for poor relief going higher all the time in the
county.
Then in the article in the Forum —‘“Says It’s Time to Think.” I ask you how much just thinking it is going to take without any action to get lower rates on our necessities of gas, light and water. Telephones are not a necessity, but the rates are plenty high for those who use them. The mayor wished the council to help him in this matter by getting a meter inspector, but did they do it? I’ll venture to say about one out of ten consumers kick on their bills, but what does it. get you; finer of fices to go to and pay your bills in, and high salaried people to give you receipts for your money. Then no council body to jump in or help when (some one wishes to help us get relief. I truly wish the two councilmen well, who are helping what they can and if I was the mayor with his troubled I would sure appreciate a little operation in the city family. Now in the third item, ‘‘Just Here and There” from the Editorial department. In saying that so far the council body actions meet with the approval of a majority of those who pay taxes, just how does he know this? The Star and Press can both put these things in the papers as they are their property,
has served no useful purpose. It is easy to vote for a bond issue, but hard to pay for it, along with accrued interest which often doubles the total debt. Misuse of public securities has been a big factor in creating hard times, it can bankrupt government and
break the taxpayer.
ROAD WORK IS NEVER-ENDING
Vital That Farmers Be Given Means for Fast
Transport
Road construction and rdad work
are never done.
We have built thousands of miles of fine highways. But the inexorable march of progress makes mor 1 and still more roads necessarv. The increased mechanization of agriculture has made it ( vit.al that, the millions of farmers now living on unimproved roads be given means for fast, efficient
and economical transport.
It might be said that a road dollar has never been entirely wasted. There Ixave been “political” roads and there has been uselessly [expensive construction in areas
where there was no need for it. bu t y 0 u can’t make the subscribers
These things must be discouraged. But every time we build a road we are adding another stone to the structure of our civilization. We are making possible a higher economic and social development for
our people.
Modern engineering practice and
agree with you. We have that much freedom and it might go some hard with your subscription department if, because we don’t agree with you, we stopped the papers and showed our real feelings. It would be nice if the papers could keep in mind that
materials have made it possible to citizens went to the polls and
build weatherproof, surfaced, secondary roads for a fraction of the cost, of high-type main highways. Their construction is the solution
to a pressing problem.

elections. In any kind of a controversy it takes two to make a quarrel, so all these things can’t be blamed on the mayor. And when the last administration used all the monies on hand and left the city with paving and city property debts to be paid, 1 think George Dale is a credit to some. What‘mayor ever had such a bucking city family to deal with, I ask you? Democratic Sympathizer. Railroads Are Entitled to Fair Transport Policy
In the opinion of Herbert H. Lehman Governor of New York, which will eliminate or lessen unfair, wastful and inequitstantlallj the country needs a definite policy transportation and place “transportation for hire of every character under substantial equal relgu-
lation and control.”
Mr. Lehman pointed out the in timate relation existing between general prosperity and railroad prosperity. The rails render a service which no other agency yet de-
vised can render.
They pay out more in wages and salaries than any other single industry. In normal times they are the greatest purchaser of supplies md commodities. They pay ex ceedingly heavy taxes to all branches of government. Their .securities are held by a large percentage of our people, either di rectly through possession of rail stocks and bonds, or indirectly through an interest in savings banks, trust funds, insurance comwhich are heavy holders of rail-
road issues.
It is obvious that the railroads
are gradually being destroyed from carriers which benefit the public far less. It should be the
aim of our law-makers to

Pointed Paragraphs

close instead of opening..
If you forgive a debt owed to you, that’s generosity. If you forgive a debt owed to somebody formu- else, that’s stateesmanship.
