Is It a Racket Sam Bemenderfer and Senator Roy Friedley have organized the dollar and a half club. As advocates of the $1.50 maximum tax levy they spent painful hours arguing this week with the county council. The folks at the meeting finally got to calling each other names. Nobody in Indiana knows anything about the taxation question since the special session of the legislature ended its famous conclave. A great many claim to know, but Governor Leslie wa£ right when he said that chaos would result. The Post-Democrat does not even presume to suggest any solution. We predict, however, that people will know more by this time next year. As to the dollar and a half club, something might “be done in the way of charging ten dollars admission with a six-fifty addition for a sheet with eyeholes in it. Mr. Bemenderfer has had extensive experience in the matter of organizing society along that line and is an authority on percentages. One hundred percent was his specialty—but why bring that up? Sam has reformed, but at that a dollar and a half club might be made a real racket, if engineered by an expert. Jim the Bluffer Jim Watson was here Thursday night. He spoke at the central high school to a carefully drummed up crowd. He was at his best when he told his audience how he saved the nation by refusing to retire from public life. He is merely seeking return to office through his great urge to the public service. His description of Hoover’s despair when he heard that Jim thought of retiring, brought tears to the assembled postmasters secret service men who accompany him on his ballahoo trips. According to the Press a delegation of ministers met Jim at a “local hotel,” to tell him how they love his attitude on the liquor question. By the way how DOES Jim stand oh the. liquor question. He used to stand with one foot on the brass rali. The big bluff! ■ < As Others See Us

McCRACKEN DAY.
(By H. J. Myers.) Let ns today, for a moment pause In honor of our Pal Mao—gone, Who has departed from earthly toils. But in our memory he still lives on. Where was there ever a pal like he. Sharing life’s sunshine when days were gloom? Now that we gather in honor of Mac Wlio gently sleeps in a hero’s tomb.

MAYOR’S CORNER
The following editorial printed today in the Indianapolis Times, written by the gifted editor, Boyd Gurley, is fairly representative of the sentiments of those who view us from afar, as well as those who see us at close range: Once more the forces that do not thrive under honest government are after Mayor George Dale of Muncie. This time the city council attempts to replace him with a member who, during a Federal court trial, was named as the paymaster for the unofficial agents who secured evidence against Dale. The effort to get rid of Dale is significant. It is the story of what happens to a man who fights for principles. Dale first came into statewide and national notice when he fought, with his weak and weekly paper, against the powerful forces of the Ku-Klux Klan. He braved attempted assassination. He braveed jails under a tyrannical judge who was later impeached by the house of representatives. More than that, he fought against graft' in public office and exposed the looting of the treasury of his city and county. He fought against the protection of vice and crime. Then the people elected him as mayor and his troubles began in earnest. From the start, he eliminated graft from public affairs. He lowered the cost of government and increased its efficiency. He drove the bootlegger and the gambler out of business. By common knowledge, the city of Muncie has been cleaner under his administration than it had been in years. Vice hid in back alleys. The gamblers closed their doors. The bootlegger took to the suburbs. Thanks to the peculiar Federal administration of the prohibition law. Dale is now convicted of conspiracy to violate the very laws that he enforced and the weird theory of his guilt is that he had promised the bootleggers to protect them in return for votes and later put them out of business. Much of the testimony that was brought against him, given by persons who would be discredited in any other place and in any other circumstances than a Federal court, has since been repudiated. Especially is this true of the wild story paraded at his trial that he had tried to “take for a ride” a witness, a story that has since been exploded by the wife of this witness in another court. Dale has appealed his case. He insists that he is innocent until the higher courts pass upon the fairness of his trial. That seems to be a reasonable view of the constitutional guarantee of the presumption of innocence and the creation of higher courts. Were the opposite theory true, there would be no use of appeals to higher courts. But the city council of Muncie wants power in the coming election. High office are at stake. A United States senator is to be elected. A Governor and a would stand for crookedness in elections and lections would stand for crookedness in elections an delections in Muncie under other administrations have not been above suspicion. It seems to be necessary to get rid of Dale, perhaps in the cause of political expediency. Meanwhile the prohibition department which was used to convict Dale has made no effort to send to jail those who stole carloads of confiscated whisky from its own custody. A If government can be overthrown in this manner, legal anarchy has arrived.

Van Nuys Takes Offensive The campaign for the election of a United States Senator from Indiana gives promise of being the hit of the political show in the state this fall. The reason for this is the personality of Fretferick Van Nuys, Democratic candidate for that post, who has demonstrated at the very start that he does not intend to permit James Eli Watson to get by with the slight of. hand performances which were thrillers before the public began to realize that tricks
are frequently deceptive.
Watson is facing the type of campaign with which he has never had to contend in the past. H6 has always adopted the offensive. He excused Republican failures two years ago with the light-
de-
In liis hook “The Washington Merry-Go-Round,’’ Drew Pearson designates the national house of representatives as “The Monkey
House.”
The latest exhibition of the Muncie city council in attempting to declare the office of mayor vacant and naming Bob Parkinson as “temporary mayor,” entitles that body to a similar title. A majority of the esteemed councilmen have acted like monkeys ever since they were sworn into offide nearly three years ago. ' Real monkeys acquire the rudiments, at least, of an education, under proper tutelage, but the monkey business of the- council sterns to grow worse as the years go by. From the very beginning a working majority of the council has set itself in violent opposition to every act or measure proposed', by
the mayor.
Instead of attempting to serve the public- these councilmen servp secret bosses, who hate the mayor because they cannot use him for N their selfish designs. s (
Criminals, hoodlums and boodlers have used these councilmen asyy given statement that the
their errand boys and the antics of these supposed representatives of the people of Muncie would put to shame their jungle prototypes, hanging by their tails from the limbs of trees, picking lice from each other’s backs (the monkeys I mean) and otherwise enjoying them-
selves in monkey fashion.
I did not attend this celebrated council meeting Thursday night. Having other engagements I remained away from the zoo. After I the meeting, with three councilmen, I attended a movie at the Rivoli where the star performer, a newspaper man, was shot to death! by gangsters whose graft he had interrupted. } , Paul Bowden of the Star came in and took a seat behind me. Paul ask<ed me what I had to say and the interview was printed on the first page of the morning paper. V My picture also appeared. That photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing at Washington on my sixtieth birthday anniversary and anyone looking at it could plainly see that I was meditating over a misE spent life anl making resolutions for the next sixty years. 1 \ Paul reported the council meeting, so I suppose he wrote the story of the proceeding of the . monkey house. Parkinson is quoted as saying that declaring me out of office did not mean that I am out. Bob spoke a mouthful. Possession is still nine points of the law. It would be curious if nine councilmen could declare an office vacant so easily and name a new mayor in such an offhand manner. Nevertheless Boh was “sworn in” by Clerk Ridgeway. If he has the cuorage of his conversation why does he not attempt to take pos-
session of the office.
Parkinson says he was elected temporary mayor and the monkey house is to meet October 4 to elect a permanent mayor. More monkey business. The law may have something to say about it. In the meantime, I suppose there will be a large field of candidates in the field. Each of the nine, presumably, “will he receptive— favorite sons, so to speak. I don’t understand Councilman August Maick. According to the Star August made the following speech; y , “I want to know more' about this. 1 am as intelligent as anyone and 1 don’t know what this is.ahout. Every day I. talk to people and they think we are acting like a little sack of peanuts—and we are.” Knowing nothing about it, and rating himself as a peanut, and asserting that he is as intelligent as anyone, the rating of the general public, under the head of “anyone,” must he considerably below the intellgehee of the lowly goober; the rest of us ought to rank, under the August Maick proposal, in the spinach class. Councilman Hole tore the hides off the majority in voting against the weird proposals, and at the same -time lifted the veil of secrecy as regards one mysterious transaction of the monkey house. “You all remember,” said he, “the meeting in the little room ou the alley when Hayler said four or five attorneys ha*l said they were afraid to do it.” ' , The reference to a meeting “in the little room; on the alley” is Greek to me. 1 remember about the dark alley where Lon Thornburg found Cliff Cranor’s truck, but until last night I did not know the monkey house met in dark alleys. There is nothing surprising about it, however. It’s a dark alley crowd that seeks my scalp.

firession was only a state of mind. He excused his dabbling in the sugar market by laughingly marking that he had paid for the stock'with a worthless note. He settled the prohibition question in his own 1 mind by giggling forth an explanation that the drys have their law, the wets have their liquor and everybody should be satisfied. In other words, W r atson has been having an enjoyable time at the expense of the public in In-
diana.
But the panic has taught the people of Indiana and all states that the business of government demands serious thought. That is twhat Mr. Van Nuys proposes to give them. In contrast to the evasion, inconsistency, frivolity and fmssyfooting of Mr. Watson, the Democratic candidate for United States Senator, with all sincerity, states Jie is willing to commit himself on any and all questions. He declares \ this is one campaign when the people have the right to know whefe a candidate stands. Of course, a Republican newspaper editorially admitting that Mr. Van Nuys Ms many sincere admirers, suggest .that he is starting his campaign ou a low plane when he declares that.if the gov ernment can supply moMy to tlie classes it can also protect the masses. The Indianapolis Star .shows itself as inconsistent .as Watson when, in the same editor ial, it states that “the interest of ail the people should be para mount,” just the policy advocated
by Mr. Van Nuys,
The Democratic candidate for the United States Senator has not “waited for Mr. Watson to get go fug before starting the fight. Mr. Van Nuys has put Watson ou the defensive and the senator is likely to' find the going very rough over a political road he has never travelled before. Watson on the de tensive wll be another kind of Watson, for his frivolous nature
