Perry Easton a Candidate. Ex-Senator Perry Easton is waging a lively fight for the Democratic nomination for mayor of Indianapolis. That is we know he is fighting, for we know Perry. He’s the “fightenist” son of a gun I know of and above all he would make a splendid mayor. He might get licked in the primary, and again he might
not.
But whether he is not when it is over the people of Indianapolis may rest assured that his opponents will be hanging over the ropes, panting. ;
lessly to the voters on a second referendum every time they light on a hot spot—for instance on the eve of an election
when most of them are up for reelection.
I hope that the council will not resort to any miserable subterfuge in order to cover up any fear they may entertain as to the effect definite action might have on their chances
in the coming primary.

Bonehead Stunt.
A Republican editor, who published in his paper publicity on the Dillinger parole as mailed to him by the Republican State Committee, is now lamenting his folly. Let Ned Gorrell, who writes “Old Man at the Desk’’ in the Pulaski County Democrat, tell the story as he did in his column yesterday : “Down at Indianapolis the other day I talked to a Republican editor from the southern half of the state who was peeved . . . at himself and at somebody who had pulled what he regarded as a bonehead political stunt. i “It struck me as being rather funny. Like substantially all other Republican editors in the state, this chap had received a printing plate or a ‘mat’ carrying a fac simile of the Dillinger parole order. This editor, like some,others, had printed it in his newspaper. “He was certainly kicking the dirt when I talked to him. “ T didn’t read the thifig carefully,’ he explained, ‘but I saw that McNutt’s name was signed to itj'ahd-supposed it was all right or they would not have sent it ‘out.’ (i don’t know yet just who “they” are, but I happen to know that this speaker is quite chummy with those in charge of the Republican State Committee office). “ 'Then after all of the papers had been mailed’ ” he went on, 'I found, that instead of printing a slam at the Governor I had printed and leirculated over my county a justification of him.’ “Naturally I picked up my ears and asked what he was driving at. “ ‘Look,' he urged as he pulled a copy of his paper out of his pocket and pointed to the parole fac simile. ‘This photograph shows right there on its face that the trial judge recommended clemency and wrote a lengthy statement in regard to it. And now they tell me the judge is a Republican. “The photograph also shows that the man Dillinger tried to rob, and a lot of leading citizens in the town where Dillinger lived, appeared before the parole board in his behalf. And it shows that the State Commission on Clemency made a careful investigation before granting the parole.” “The editor put his finger on one paragraph after another in the phptograph of the document as he indicated what he meant. “ ‘I know you’re a Democrat,’ he added, ‘and I suppose you’re laughing at me. But I claim you’ve got a laugh coming. And if anybody can tell me why a bunch of us Republican editors should have been tricked into printing that photograph, I’ll give him the wooden gun that I got as a souvenir at the banquet the other night. Not all the boobs are in Lake County.’ “ ‘Nen I jist grinned.’ ”

Big Fire Loss Is Economic Crime
Artie, the Big Bad Wolf. “Entered the United States Senate October 20, 1925, by appointment,” reads the Congressional directory in referring to Arthur Robinson (Lil Artie), the big bad wolf from Indiana. Of course, the directory says nothing about Artie having been appointed by former Governor Ed Jackson at the dictation of D. C. Stephenson before Steve went to prison for life and before Jackson pleaded the statute of limitations to escape punishment for a crime. But these accessories are all well known to Indiana and the world and have not only damaged Indiana but have deprived Robinson of any effect whatever
in Washington.
With a puff, puff, puff, Artie stormed Washington by his “birds of a feather” masterpiece and then he rested on his bed of roses for eight years, forgetting the veterans, the Federal employes and the deah peepul. But, facing nomination and reelection, Artie awakened and remembered and he started puffing again. It is unfortunate that those groups which feel they have, a just" cause were picked by Robinson as the subject matter of his puffing for nothing that Artie ever advocates will succeed. His wild gestures for publicity and the venom he carries continuously characterize his makeup. Just a big bad wolf whose time is spent in puffing to which no one pays any attention. The elation over the certainty of his defeat this year is lessened only by the tact that he will do his puffing and wolfing at home instead of in Washington where the people back home do not have
to listen to it.
As I sat in the council chamber the other night I heard Charles Johnson, salary :::::2:::2 1A0 m rave and rant. I listened to his incoherent threats. H ^ houted that he would take off his coat and drive every George^MiUer.^sah to political oblivion who dared to say he favored ac- oren Edwaj-ds^sah ince of the government loan and grant.

And are we now, to repudiate and disregard these blessings by coldly refusing this other great offer of help, se-

This offer wfiich exceeds by far that made to any other

OLD AGE PENSION (Continued From Page One) pension of $4.50 per month *is denied further assistance from township or charity relief. If the amount collected for charity was placed in a fund every old person in Delaware County could be given a sufficient amount pei month to at least provide a shelter and some food. If one-half the money we are spending in Center township relief were placed in a pension fund, every old person in Delaware County could be properly and suitably cared for. The condition surrounding the care and maintainance of aged and blind persons can and should be met by cooperation between Delaware County and thfe state of
Indiana.
The State of Indiana agrees and will provide and does provide where the county cooperates with it to the extent that $15.00 can be paid to the old person. One of our troubles is a howl of a shortage
of funds.
No attention or thought is given to the hundreds of thousands of dollars that is collected from the gasoline tax and diverted often to the building of unnecessary ce-
ment roads.

MESSAGE TO VOTERS (Continued from Page One.) farmer fathoms the mind of the electorate as a whole. Leaving that thought with you I now suggest that every voter within the sound of my voice who has not registered, or is in doubt as to whether he or she has registered, call at the office of the county clerk and attend to it at once. If you have not registered by April 7, you cannot vote in the primary. As mayor of your city I wish to warn you that Muncie is in great danger of losing the huge allotment of Federal money for sewage system and treatment plant, that has been made to the city by virtue of President Roosevelt’s great recovery plan. The city council will meet Monday night and the ordinance accepting the allocation will be up for passage or
rejection.
It has been commonly reported that some councilmen have taken the attitude that an election shall be held in order that they may determine how to vote. It is perhaps needless for me to say that the law does not contemplate such an election, but it is argued, what is the law between
friends?
Up To Mayor and Council. There is a sharp distinction between the duties of the legislative and executive branches of the city government, but in certain instances, these duties blend into one. Ordinances are acted on exclusively by the council, but they must be submitted to mayor for his approval, or veto,
as the case may be k

The annual per capita fire loss in the United States is $3.09. The 'average loss in three major Euro-
cents.
That astonishing difference is principally the result of a single cause: The difference in attitude Of mind toward fire between the American and the European. In America it is considered a misfortune to have a fire—in Europe it is a crime, and if a third party’s property is damaged the person whose negligence was responsible is apt to be arrested and
held liable.
One need not advocate that European legislation of this nature be adopted in this country. But it would be an excellent thing for us all if the European attitude of mind toward fire was more prevalent. Every fire destroys irreplaceable natural resources— and all the insurance money in the

Excessive Speed is Death Breeder One of the most serious aspects of the automobile accident problem is a constant increase in the number of fatalities per accident. In 1933, for example, the number injured non-fatally increased 2.2 per cent over 1932—while fatalities jumped 5.9 per cent. The reason for this is obvious: Excessive speed. It is an incontrovertible maxim that the chance of an accident producing a fatality becomes greater as the speed of cars involved increases. A vivid example of this is provided by comparing last year with 1927. Registrations in 1933 were less than 3 per cent above the 1927 level. The 'total number of miles driven by passenger cars was little, if any, greater. But there were 17 per cent more deaths.
Needs A Definition
A recent exhaustive survey produced the fact that excessive speed was responsible for 33 per cent of all automobile deaths. And that term, “excessive speed,” needs a definition. There are times when fifteen miles an hour is dangerous and there -are times fifty miles an hour is overcautious. Road and weather conditions, the amount of traffic, the experience of the driver, the condition of the cor—these factors, rather than a mere speedometer reading, are the tests of safe operating speeds. Any spe d is unsafe if the driver is unable to stop his car in the assured clear distance ahead. Road and weather vary the safety fac-
tor.
Study your car and your own capabilities. Discover, how soon you can stop at varying speeds. This is indispensable in becoming a safe motorist.

Makes Higher Taxes A heavy percentage of fires is directly responsible for increased taxes—insasmuch as when taxpaying property is destroyed the share of the cost of government it paid, must be levied against other property. By the same token, fire destroys jobs, investment opportunities, and deprives families of their livelihood. We all regard arson fires as social crimes—but every fire which is preventable, is an economic crime. That is worth remembering now, when every resource, every effort should be bent toward using to the full all our national assets in bringing re-
covery.
EVEN AS YOU AND I. “Rise every morning,” a magistrate advised a man in court, “with the fixed determination to make your wife realize that 7011 are master of the hou-se and see what happens.” We know what will happen. He will have to get his own breakfast.
