Muncie, Indiana, Friday, July 12, 1935.
Page Pete and Smoke The Star Friday morning occupied considerable space on the editorial page trying to convince folks they all ought to be fingerprinted. The idea is good and we propose Manager Fizz Harrold as Candidate Number One in Muncie. Peter Horstman of the police department and Smoke Corn of the sheriff’s office are both Tinger print experts. Both officers have mugged and printed tougher guys than Fizz and we hope that the editor will submit gracefully, and that Pete and Smoke will get the prints without lassoing, blackjacking and chloroforming the Star editor. Let the “Chamber” Rule The United States Chamber of Commerce has fired its heavy gun at President Roosevelt, laying down a set of rules for the conduct of government in America. The great “Commoner,” William J. Bryan, once electrified the nation by hurling defiance at special privilege. “Let the people rule!” was his ringing challenge to the entrenched lords of finance. “Let the Chamber rule,” is the latest pronouncement of concentrated wealth. We fear that the Republican party is in for another abysmal defeat next year, unless it repudiates the political activities of its tory friends, the United States Chamber of Commerce and the grotesque “Liberty League.”
Mr. Bowers Speaks “Jefferson’s interest was in the Bill of Rights—not State’s Rights, nor Property Rights, but HUMAN RIGHTS, the rights of the common man.” Such is the statement of Claude G. Bowers, former Indiana Editor now United States Ambassador to Spain, who is the world’s leading authority on the life and philosophy of the great Virginian who wrote the Declaration of Independence. So closely is President Roosevelt following the Jeffersonian principles of Democracy that Ambassador Bow r ers believes the issues which will divide political parties in 1936 will be the same that separated Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton in 1776. “The hue and cry raised by the reactionaries about Jefferson and states’ rights is ridiculous,” the ambassador said on a recent Visit home. “Why they understand the philosophy of Jefferson better in Europe than to be fooled by such nonsense, for Jefferson Was an international figure. He viewed government in terms of the common good rather than in some set form that must be a matter of worship. He espoused states’ rights as an instrument serving the common good at the time the federal government was being constructed. Had he foreseen that it would ever be made a fetish to protect privilege, he would not have been in favor of a written Constitution. If Claude G. Bowers can say that, President Roosevelt and the Democratic party of today are following in the footsteps of the Great Jefferson, that ought to satisfy Democrats of all ages and certainly should quiet those of the G. O. P. who have forgotten that this nation at least once before was guided by statesmen and progressive leaders.

By the way, what is L’l Arthur Robinson doing these days to “save the Constitution?” And wh&t has happened to Ed Jackson, M?Cray, Walb and some of the Old Gang?
How About the Smith Law! In looking over some old papers we find a curious relic, in the form of a resolution adopted by the common council of the city of Muncie on the night of September 22, 1932, which declared the office of mayor vacant because of his conviction by a federal jury. The solemn declaration was made following an imposing row of whereases and towits, that the said mayor, George R. Dale, was found guilty of a violation of the Volstead act, the Jones law, and other crimes against the government not enumerated. We knew all about the Volstead business, but honestly we never knew until Thursday, when after a lapse of three years we again scanned more closely that fateful resolution that we had been found guilty of violating the Jones law. That, we concede, is the last straw. The camel’s back is broken. We never heard of the Jones law before, but whatever it is, it must be something horrible, or the council wouldn’t have stuck it in for good measure. So beware of the Jones law. Have your lawyer look it up so you may be on your guard. And while he is looking have him look close. There may be a Smith law or a Brown law and remember that ignorance of the law is no excuse. You may be violating the Jones law every day and don’t know it. If you fail to find out what the crime really is, have your alibi witnesses ready so you can prove you were some place else when it happened and swear yourself that Jones did it. / : U - The Volstead law has been repealed. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party and repeal the Jones law if we have to keep congress in session ’till next Christmas.
Things Have Changed An Indiana judge, holding the beer law “unconstitutional,” told the owner of a country store, denied a license, to keep on selling beer, enjoined officers of the state excise department from molesting him, and issued an order compelling wholesalers to fill orders for the store owner. A beer wholesaler refused to sell beer to the grocer, because the law prohibits sales to unlicensed dealers, so the judge cited the wholesaler for contempt of court. A good many judges have sentenced men for selling beer, but this is the first time on record that any man was charged with an offense for not selling it.
Reactionaries In An Ox Cart President Roosevelt has just scored a feat that most men in public office have believed well-nigh impossible. He has caught his everpresent antagonists asleep and in their night clothes. Night and day his every action is scrutinized and analyzed by an army of 5,000 or more representatives of capital, industry, business, and labor who maintain offices in Washington. The largest of these and the most antagonistic to the New Deal is the United States Chamber of Commerce. What a glorious coup it was for the President, when he transmitted his message to Congress for readjustment of federal taxes on the share-the-burden-of-debt program without a single one of these “interests” being found ready to hurl a stumbling block. The U. S. Chamber of Commerce, which has opposed the holding company legislation, NRA, AAA, managed currency and every other step in the New Deal, was caught flat-foot-ed without a single “study,” “committee report” or “agenda” to hurl at the program. Search as they could, not even a referendum could be found in their pigeon-hole archives. Alas, the Roosevelt opposition cannot keep pace with the program. The Chief Executive is so fast on the punch that he has the reactionaries groggy. They are following far behind in an ox cart.
Our Busy Day
Leave the Republicans with their “grass roots” and fumbling with musty supreme court decisions. The New Deal drives like a streamline locomotive straight for National Recovery. Mr. Roosevelt has laid out the pattern and progressive, energetic citizens over the land are cutting the cloth. No time for the pessimists and the view-with-alarmers. Democracy is busy finding jobs for 3,500,000 citizens who vfill be everlastingly grateful; these hosts of the New Deal are working for social security, adequate old age pensions, employment insurance and maternal welfare; They are on the firing line to see that labor gets her Magna Charta and that the farmer is not denied the benefits of AAA; they are out to equalize the federal tax burden, adjusting it to the ability of men and corporations to pay, striking, too, at the dynasties which have perpetuated their economic power to dictate the welfare of the masses in definance of free government. Yes, we are mighty busy out hereon the Roosevelt Front. Why don’t some of those mule-skinners back there
lend a hand?
Business of the People is Solvent Books of United States, Inc., were closed June 30, with a bank bal-
ance on hand in excess of $1,000,000,000. Indiana & Co. wound up the fiscal year with a balance of $9,250,000. The federal balance of working capital is four times the size of such balances usually maintained. ^Fbe Indiana balance is almost three times as substantial’ as that maintained by former'administrations. The public is frankly told about the status of public funds. Current treasury reports out of Washington are some-
The celebrated firemen’s judgment, which has been pointed to persistently as the one great mistake of my administration, when I was mayor of Munseytown, is now rising to torment the legal department of the present administration. The discharged firemen made one of their regular pilgrimages to the city controller’s office Tuesday and demanded that they be paid. The only difference now is that it is Controller Parkinson who has to turn thumbs down instead jf Controller Holloway. The judgment, according to local newspapers, has grown from $68,000 to $86,000, and is growing, according to these authorities at the rate of $303 a week. In other words, plant a judgment and watch it grow. When former Judge Bob Murray decided that was an mforgivable offense for a Democratic mayor and board of safety to remove city employes, it was hardly even his idea that the judgment would keep on growing indefinitely. It may be the law, I don’t know. But what I do know is this: If the city has not got the money to pay, and if the council refuses to legislate a tax levy to provide a fund for the payment, it won’t be paid. As I recall there was something said in superior court about citations for contempt if the terms of the judgment were not complied with but nothing came of it. Over in Huntington the mayor has been in jail for contempt for two months and the judge says he must stay there until he pays a $1,500 judgment to the light company for alleged damages due the light company for the mayor’s activities in promoting a municipal plant. It would be tough on Bob .Parkinson to go to jail for forty to a hundred years for not paying something he can’t pay, but there seems to be no other solution. Bob is a patriot, above everything else, and he would no doubt prefer to go to jail and stay there forever, rather than cause his public to dig up eighty-six thousand smackers. Of course City Attorney Lon Bracken and City Engineer Arthur Meeker would have to go to jail with Bob, for as members of the board of safety and public works, in refusing to reinstate the firemen, as ordered by the court, they would be as guilty as sin. And take it from me, who knows, when you are charged with contempt of court the truth is no defense. Eighty-six grand is a whole lot of dough and I am not certain but that the citizens of Muncie would be willing to sacrifice these three officers, and send them cigarets to jail every day for the next forty years, in defense of a great principle. Men and women have made sacrifices before. We read of one man during the civil war who said he was willing to sacrifice all his wife’s relations to put down the cruel re-
bellion.
By the way Bob must have an upside-down-stomach or something, for as a member of the council during the firemen’s trials he consistently sided with the discharged firemen and with some other councilmen was active in stopping an appropriation for funds necessary for making proper legal defense. As I recall it there wasn’t even enough money provided to print a brief, when the case was carried to the supreme
court.
The judgment was affirmed by the supreme court and the case was not dismissed by the city, as constant reiteration by local newspapers implies. And the case was heard on its merits by the higher court. A technical flaw in the appeal led to its dismissal by the su-
preme court.
There is no question that the city had a right to dismiss employes and employ others to take their places. It’s an old Spanish custom of ancient standing in Muncie, and has been religiously observed from time immemorial here and elsewhere when administrations change in cities, states and the
national government.
It was not until I became mayor of Muncie that up-side-down-stomachs revolted, but these deformed tummies easily flopped back and mental processes went into reverse on high, shifting gears with no rasping protest from the cog wheels. The mayor and the board of safety discharged firemen, policemen, clerks, park employes, street laborers and others with religious enthusiasm. One fireman who was removed shot and killed himself the same day that he was advised of
his discharge.
Only those were left who vowed submission to the new
regime and donated a percentage of their monthly wages to
a jackpot to be used for some unknown purpose. What was considered a crime of sinister aspect when
another administration functioned, suddenly became a fervid obsession on the part of those who criticized, and the great voices in the wilderness that had yelped unceasingly became strangely silent. The typewriters, the inverted stomachs and the reverse English statesmanship were not only made over,
but vocal chords lost their desire to expostulate. I have been told that the omission of the words “state
of Indiana” from appellant’s appeal was the alleged flaw in the city’s defense against the preposterous suit. We have heard of two dollar words, but this establishes a world’s rec-
ord.
Incidentally this case is back in court, where it was maneuvered by former City Attorney Taughinbaugh and the

MAYOR BUNCH
follows:
’people here who will have to pay if the city loses will expectf Bonds numbered i to is
the present city law department to overlook no legal expedient in resisting this unholy raid on the taxpayers of the com-
munity. Within fifteen (15) days after
in-
as
30, in-
(Contlnued From Page One) from office. But finally at the end of a lengthy conference he said: “Boys, I have made up my mind. We’ll put ’er all on the line and shoot the works.” Once before the same principle was involved when former Chief Justice David A. Myers, of the Indiana supreme court, acting for the entire court, sustained a writ of error in the Dale contempt case, clearing the deck for review in the United States supreme court. At the same time Justice Myers issued, a supersedeas, the legal auxiliary process to supercede the enforce ment of the judgment pending the writ of error. The attempts of the council to dislodge the mayor were resisted wholly on the theory that there could be no ultimate sentence or conviction while the appeal pended. The validity of the Tucker law was not questioned for an instant. The rights of legislatures to prescribe qualifications of office holders is not questioned by the highest courts. The Tucker law was just another qualification for Indiana office holders. Courts eventually decided that the council’s intended victim was right in his conclusions and the council wrong. Has He or Hasn't He? Parkinson, it is assumed, has lost all interest in the Tucker law now—or has he? He is a pretty sly old fox, after all. He is now city controller and as the law provides would become mayor if the chief executive who appointed him should be forced for any reason to relinquish his office. Mayor Bunch has a pardon signed by the late President Coolidge some years after he had expiated a federal sentence from which he never appealed. On the question of whether or not a presidential pardon can purge to the extent of nullifying a state law prescribing qualifications of officers within the state is in doubt. Roswell Johnson, former Republican mayor of Gary, who was also outlawed by the Tucker act, was a candidate for the office last year. Pleas Greenlee, the governor’s secretary, asked Attorney General Phil Lutz’s opinion as to whether or not Johnson was available as a candidate, in spite of a pardon, also signed by Cool-
lidge.
Lutz Sustains Law The attorney general held, in a lengthy opinion, that the pardon did not affect the mandate of the Tucker law, that Johnson lacked “the indispensable qualification” mentioned in that act and thAt Johnson was ineligible to hold office. Johnson Jranianvway and was defeated so the debate as to his eligibility became a moot ques-
tion.
In the case of former Mayor Dale, President Roosevelt pardoned while the case was on appeal from the United States Circuit Court of appeals to the United States Supreme court, this almost uprecedented act being due to the fact most probably that the' president and attorney general, after reviewing the evidence, were impressed by the obvious perjury disclosed in the transcript of testimony. At least the president stated in the pardon, over his signature, that he had been shown tlat the witnesses perjured themselveBr Thus the case being on appeal when the pardon was signed there was no ultimate conviction and the sentence was superceded by
Danger Lurks But its a rather dangerous thing for Mayor Bunch to appoint as controller one who wanted to be mayor so bad in 1932 that he pinned his faith on a professed belief that the Tucker act disqualified the mayor and had paved the way by buying part of the evidence that is pronounced perjury by the president of the United
States. ;
Bob has a very worthy ambition to advance himself politically, but the trouble is that he seems to have no scruples in the selection of methods of achievement when ambition stirs. He was reelected councilman last year by going up on Roll Bunch’s kite, but a little thing like that would hardly prevent l*m from flying a kite of his own. When he was on the council his stepping stone to power was the Tucker law. It didn’t work then, but it’s possibility of proving effective against Mayor Bunch should intrigue one who doesn’t care how he rises, just so he attains the altitude desired, where he can gaze down at the slaughtered remains of friend
and foe.
o A Hectic Week In Washington By J. E. Jones June closed with what was called the hectic week in Washington.” It was surely that! Congress rocked on June 19 when it received the President’s unexpected message proposing adoption of increased taxes on incomes in excess of $1,000,00.0; establishment of graduated corporation taxes and inheritance taxes, etc. June 20, the Senate Finance Committee voted down the LaFollette proposal to attach the administration features to the resolution extending nuisance taxes that were to expire in a few days. June 21, a petition was circulated in Congress pledging the members to remain in session and carry out the President’s program. June 22, Democratic leaders discussed remaining in session. June 24, Vice President Garner, Senator Robinson, Speaker Byrns and others visited the White House, and announced that the President wanted the tax legislation passed in five days. June 25, a smaU-sized rebellion existed among Democrats on Capitol Hill. June 26 .President says, don’t hurry, boys, take your time. Congress nodded its thanks to the ruler. Ye gods, it doth amaze me—why should states and local communities take back seats for that sort of inefficiency in government?
MAGIC TRACED FOR 1,000 YEAR
There is Nothing Supernatural About it, But i is for Amusement.
The scandal of the merchant marine had just started to blossom when President Roosevelt smothered it with his share-the-wealth tax bill. The financial jugglers have reduced ocean transportation under the American flag to a tragic minimum. Don’t let anybody fool you into the belief that the Leviathan is an outmoded ship. Millions of dollars were spent by the government in rebuilding and putting thi$ pride of American ships in first-class condition so that it was as good as new when the government sold it to the U. S. Lines. Less than ten years ago the Leviathan was restored to passenger service. It hasn’t made many voyages since to wear it out! It has joined the George Washington and otir other BEST ships in the bone-
yards.
The scandal of the airways was a peanut affair in comparison to the plum-tree that American ship owners have been shaking of its
fruits.
$ew York—There is no “best ‘ trick” in the field of magic and | there is no “best magician.” Even though some feats of magic are widely discussed because they are sensationally done, there can be no general agreement as to the best trick because it all depends upon the viewpoint and personal taste of the one expressing an
opinion.
Those and other similar issues are discussed in John Mulholland’s “Story of Magic.” Mullbolland, himself a master conjurer, has written a concise history of the development of magic during the past 10 centuries. The volume is illustrated with photographs and old prints fx-om his own collection. Magic Only to Entertain The whole art of magic, based upon the truism that people like to be mystified and even fooled, has no other purpose than to en tertain. The book traces the growth of the art from the days of the early priests and medicine men, who were the first conjurers, down through the centuries to the magnificent “mystifiers” of today. Early magicians performed in the streets, so close to their audiences that the most superb skill and dexterity was necessary to maintain the mystery. As the crowds grew magicians were driven first to use of wagons equipped for crude stage shows, and later to halls and theaters. A single show presented in a hall or theater required the mastering of many more tricks and the use of much lai'ger equipment, and out of these developed the large scale ti'icks which are featured by most magicians today. Words Aid Tricks Quoting from Breslaw, one of the most famous of the early tricksters, Mulholland points out that these hocus- pocus ax-tists heavily emphasized the importance of patter and the mumblejumble of words to “amaze the beholders.” The use of important and high sounding titles also was considered useful and to this day many magicians still are called “Professor” and “Doctor”. The biographies of such famous performers as Anderson, Houdin, Heller, Carl Herrmann and his brother Alexander, “Herrmann the Great”, Maskelyne, John William Sargent, Keller, Ching Ling Foo IToudini, Thurston and many others are given in the book. -According to Mulholland 80 pet} ce^nt of the success of a magic slrow depends upon the way the tricks are presented and the manner in which the magician induces the audience to respond—the psychological factors; 10 per cent of the mystery is due to sleight of hand and 10 per cent to a hidden mechanical device.
WHAT NATIONS WORK FOR
The tariff has temporarily lost its place on the first page. There’ll be hot times in hot Washington in the good old summertime of 1935 with experiments and freshlysprouted schemes. But the large industrial interests will make irreparable mistakes if they permit themselves to go to sleep about tariff treaties, schedules and regulations of foreign trade.
HELPFUL HINTS
When boiling eggs always add salt to the water so that if the shells crack the salt will coagulate the whites and prevent oozing. Common table salt rubbed on hon-washable window shades will renew their freshness. Mirrors should never be hung where the sun shines directly on them for any length of time. Meat should not be seasoned until after it is partly cooked. Wire and iron bed springs that become rusty should be given a coat of paint. Silk experts advise washing silk hose in a solution of water and pure soap flakes, rinsing three times and squeezing in a towel in order to make them wear longer.
The goal of the avei’age nation is to have more prosperity so as to raise more taxes so as to build more warships so as to develop more markets so as to sell more products so as to have more prosperity so as to raise more taxes so as to build more markets so as to sell more products so as to have more prosperity—and so on around the circle until something unforeseen happens—and then there’s war, even though nobody wants it. o Homicide: A sad affair that would have been a fist fight if there were no such things as pistols.
