Free Speech Again.

* - . ' '-n-l The Editor’s Comer

FRII)A% MARCH 6 ? 1936, , ,

Senator VanNuys has presented a bill making it a criminal offense for employers to coerce and intimidate their employes on questions affecting their voting privilege. Some fool Republican congresswoman at once denounced the senator as being another enemy of free speech. In the good old days of Mark Hanna, while the Republican oligarchy was intent on the business of defending William Jennings Bryan large employers enjoyed free speech

to its uttermost.

They merely told their employes “dam you, if Bryan is elected your job will be hanging out of the window,” or words to that broad, general effect. When Wilson was first elected in 1912, a well known manufacturer in another city told a Post-Democrat man that his factory would have a shut down if Wilson was elected. “Go tell that to your hired hands; don't tell me,” was

the come back.

“I have, and they believe it,” was his reply.

Wilson was elected and instead of shutting down, the factory was greatly enlarged and is now one of the most im-

portant manufacturing institutions in Indiana.

When the editor of the Post-Democrat was elected mayor in 1929, the report was assiduously circulated all over town during the campaign that in the event of Democratic success all the leading manufacturers here would move their plants out of town and leave Muncie high and dry. They are

all here, yet, and are doing well.

In justice to the manufacturers here it might be said that they had nothing to do with the circulation of the report. The whisper was put in circulation by sly politicians. C. M. Kitselman, an important manufacturer, now deceased, revolted against such tactics, when he learned how the lie had been manufactured and it is somewhat a pleasure to recall that at least in that election there was no evidence that coercive methods were used to make factory employes do the

bidding of their employers on election day.

That does not mean however that such a thing has not happened here in the past, but Muncie will never again tolerate it. Wage earners have not forgotten the disgusting “labor” parade pulled off here in 1926 when Jim Watson was crammed down the throats of the unwilling voters of Indiana^ w a tson was the favorite of big money, and in a modified degree a form of coercion was used to put him over again, but Fred VanNuys put him away two hundred thou-

sand to the good.

Voters will simply not be coerced any more by threats of unemployment. “The full dinner pail” argument of Mark Hanna fails to register with men and women who depend upon their wages and salaries for existence. ^ The Republican congresswoman who enfolds herselt in the flag, screeches her love of the constitution and accuses

Senator VanNuys of intent to abridge free speech, evident y, decided at thife me uing that the longs for the old Mark Hanna and Boise Penrose when : var j OUS appointees of President large employers of labor were permitted to grab the em-1 e. l.

extends only to those of her own order and trend ot thought and that all others shall take orders and say nothing. Any senator or representative who lines up against the bill proposed by Senator VanNuys will at once become an

object of suspicion.

One of “our own poets” insisted one day this week in using a portion of the space alioted in a local newspaper to those of this neighborhood who desire to exhibit their wares, in reducing to rhyme the epic radio “walk out” of Al Smith. Now I do not assume td exalt myself as an infallible judge either' of prose or poesy, but I do contend that even the wide latitude of poetical license fails to justify the attempt to make “in” rhyme with “him” Conceding that the terminals of these words approximate similarity in sound there is no getting around the fact that an “m” is an “m” and an “n” is an “n,” and no living jingler can make the two letters rhyme. As to the subject matter of the poem I agree with the rhmyeless rhmyesteress that “The G.O.P.’s all strained their ears to catch the latest dope,” but confess confusion over the next line, “While Democrats were much concerned and cheered him while he spoke.” Those Democrats of my acquaintance expressed relief instead of concern because a traitor had voluntarily purged himself from the party that had honored him and if there wfu? any Democratic cheering it was over a good riddance of bad rubbish. And besides “dope” doesn’t rhyme with “spoke.”

In a recent speech at Portland, Oregon, Mr. Hoover mentioned the chaotic condition of our foreign trade. According to figures just published by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, our exports of iron and steel products increased 206.4% in 1935 over 1932, in value. Automobile exports in 1935 were 198.1% greater in value than the exports of automobiles in the last year of Mr. Hoover’s administration. Copper exports show a gain of 130.5% in value and tobacco exports were 01.5% greater in value during the “chaotic” year of 1935 than when ‘rugged indivualism” held sway in 1932. The “Sage of Palo Alto” may demur that these are increased values in 59-cent dollars. How then does he explain the increased exports of mssenger automobiles from 41,000 in 1932 to 174,000 in 1935, or of notor trucks from 25,000 to 99,000 during those years? The depreciated ^alue of the dollar does not account for the increased exports of crude jetroleum from 27,391,000 barrels in 1931 to 51,430,000 barrels in 1935, xor for the greater shipments of canned fruit, picked from his own Cali’ornia hillsides, from 264 million pounds in 1932 to 322 million pounds n 1935. * The Oregon lumber mill owners whom he was addressing will •carcely appreciate his remarks when they learn that there was a 13.9% ncrease in the board feet of lumber shipped abroad in 1935 over that Exported in 1932; nor will the coal miners of Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania understand his reference to “chaotic” export trade when the record shows a 11.3% increase in exports of coal and coke. The fact is that our export at the end of 1935 had reached 100 per cent of the 1923-25 overage in quantity, with the unit value at 65% of that average, compared with the low of 60% of the 1923-25 quantity touched in 1932 and a unit value 50% of the 1923-25 figure. Exports were 42% greater in value in 1935 than the exports of 1932. This represents not only a gain in value, but also in volume. It was not a theoretical gain due to the 41% devaluation of the gold content of the dollar for the reason that the devaluation of the dollar affected its exchange value only in the four remaining gold bloc countries, France, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland. The exchange value of the dollar with the monetary units of the rest of the countries of the world, which had already gone off gold had long been adjusted by the balance of. payments between .such countries and the United States and the gold content of the monetary units involved had no effect upon the exchange value of the dollar in those units. We sold them in 1935 only what they could pay for in goods or services, as the exportation of gold from most of them was either prohibited or greatly circumscribed. Therefore, as the Reciprocal Trade Agreement program,-unconditionally interpreted i under the “most favored nation” clause of our treaties with those countries, made importations less difficult, more dollars were provided them for the purchase of American goods. It is for this reason that our exports show an Increase in quantity from 60% of the 1923-25 average in 1932 to 100% of that average by the end of 1935.

Potential Champions And Dark Horses hi Basketball Fracas

Sectional time is here again and while most of these preliminaries will be more than half over by the time you cast your eyes upon this page, perhaps enough favorites will be left in the running to satisfy the longing of your basketball hearts. Now here’s what we have in mind: One of our hobbies is picking the ultimate winner of the respective tournaments regardless of the numerous mistakes and typographical errors we make. The best of them commit errors of omission and commission, so why not wee little us. No one is perfect and we all do

the opposite to the right thing one 'time or another.

Now here is the dope. We are picking, from the 64-odd (and some of them are very odd) sectionals throughout the width and breadth of Ishaan, the potential champion and dark horse. The 1935 winner is also listed so as to keep you in touch with the situation. Here goes:

LOOKING AFTER THINGS The Chamber’s manager, Lester C. Bush, went to Indianapolis Wednesday for a luncheon meeting of the commercial secretaries of the state, at which was discussed the legislative program proposed by the Governor. It was

Why Should Will Hays Be Censor? Sinclair Lewis says that Will H. Hays “czar” of the motion picture industry, has told Metro-Goldyn-Mayer that they must not film Lewis book, “It Cannot Happen Here.” Hays is alleged to have said that the book handles a ! controversial subject and the picture might offend Hitler and Mussolini. . The “czar” declares that Lewis’ charge is phoney, but the fact remains that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, after selecting a cast and spending $200,000, have apparently pigeon-holed Mr. Lewis’ brainchild. The Post-Democrat is not particularly interested in Sinclair s book it’s a good enough yarn for an idle hour—-but what The Post-Demo-crat would like to know is why W T ill Hays should be permitted to censor America’s moving pictures? As we recall it, Hays is the man who collected a “slush fund” which put Warren Harding in the White House in 1920 and turned the “Ohio gang” loose in Washington. As “czar,” he permitted American movies to become so rotten that the churches had to organize “Leagues of Decency” in an effort to clean out the “smut” that Hays had O. K.’d. The Post-Democrat repeats, why should a man of that type be permitted to censor American movies, or anything else in which the people of this country are interested? —

Washington’s Monument (By Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam).

'Mr. Bush represents

the Tenth congressional district and is vice chairman of the committee. Wm. H. Arnetf, managing director of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, is chairman. Purpose of the committee’s functions is that of keeping the various organizations informed as to what is being done by the legislators and fostering such legislation as is beneficial to all of the communities and the state at

large.

Mr. Plummer’s committee will be kept advised as to progress of social security and other legislation which may be proposed at this special session. Information is that efforts will be made by retail merchants and other organizations to enact a limited income and retail sales tax to take the place of the present gross income tax. It is understood that a number of statewide organizations favor the enactment of a limited income tax instead of the gross tax.

in vogue, Washington, as a medicore personality.

When the “de-bunking” biographers were like many other great men, was revealed

One of these so-called lives of Washington lay upon the desk of President Coolidge. A newspaper reporter noting the volume asked Coolidge what he thought of it. The President wheeled around in his swivel chair, looked out the window toward the Washington monument, and said it all in a single sentence, “His monument still stands.” It will be recalled that the Continental Congress authorized an equestrian statue of General Washington to be erected at the place where the Continental Congress should be permanently established. This was in 1783 and Major L’Enfant, who drew the plans for the city of Washington, made proper provision for its location. Immediately following Washington’s death, John Marshall moved that Congress provide for the erection of a marble monument in Washington and that the family of General Washington be requested to permit his body to be deposited there. Various plans for the monument were suggested. The matter dragged for many years, and it was not until July 4, 1848 that

the corner stone was laid.

States and nations sent stones for the monument. One unfortunate incident occurred. The Pope had sent a block of marble from the Temple of Concord in Rome. This block was stolen and never found. This act estranged a large body of citizens and the work of construction ceased. Finally, the work was entrusted to engineers o.f the United States army and on December 6, 1884, the cap-stone was set. The monument was dedicated February 21, 1885 and opened to the public

October 9, 1888.

The memorial stones and their inscriptions are interesting. Upon the fifty-foot landing is the stone given by Indiana. The inscription reads “Indiana—Knows no North, No South,-Nothing but the Union.” In our own day, it might be wise to send another stone and inscribe thereon “Indiana—Knows No Class, Nothing but the Common Good.” There are many who do not see that democracy disappears as class consciousness appears. The democratic theory approaches problems from the interests of the entire community, not from the interests of a lesser

umt, the class.

On the eighty-foot landing is Virginia’s stone, “Virginia Who Gave Washington to America Gives this Granite for His Monument.” At the one hundred twenty foot landing are six stones, among them “Calitorma—Youngest Sister of the Union Brings Her Golden Tribute to the w r UV tS Fa0, , er -" IIlt « res U?Sly enough on the hnndred twena^'d China refpertivSr 8 ' by 8 ' de Tbe,r Were S ‘ Ten l,y JaI>a,,

“FACTS” PUBLISHED “Facts” the official publication of the Chamber of Commerce was issued this week and sent to all the members of this organizaton. In this publication the secretary who acts as editor, endeavors to give the membership full information as to what is being done by the organization and the civic and commercial problems in which it is interested. The secretary will gladly receive suggestions as to mprovments of any kind in the publication.

Meredith and the directorate. Reports were made as to the status of the interceptng sewer and Madison street state highway re-routing projects.

Muncie Central is still the dominating factor in Delaware bounty’s Sectional. Gaston is a tourney team. Jeffersonville can maintain their prestige over New Albany. Newcastle can overcome Middletown’s powerhouse, which is adjudged as too strenuous for 1he Henry County Conference. Tipton can come through a sectional studded with potential trouble-makers. Muncie Central’s student body is loyal to the Bearcats. Newcastle can win two games in one day. They didn’t seem to have it on New Year’s Day. Michigantown is strong enough to cause Frankfort any touble. Yorktown will make Art Beckner’s final year as Tiger chief a happy one. They could only accomplish this by defeating Cen-

Elder Eberhart, the good man at the head of Ricmond’s Red Devils, who have dominated Muncie’s regionals for the past two seasons, isn’t getting the proper amount of rest these nights. The reason is quite obvious. To begin with, Morton lost eleven men via graduation at the conclusion of last year, but fortunately the second team was fair to middlin’. Unfortunately, Dame Fortune began to frown when this campaign was almost over. Davidson, Richmond’s ace center, thought he knew more about the technique of baskeball than did the coach, so Coach Eberheart gave him a chance to see how life on the sidelines felt. The other day, after the sectibnali drawings were released to the general gaze of Indiana’s millions, Arthur L. Trester and his Board of Control, in glancing over the eligibility lists of the some 784 teams entered in the tourneys, came across the name of Robert Brinker, who is known as the best guard in and around Richmond. The more they pondered over that particular gentleman the more they thought something was haywire in the vicinity of Denmark. After due consideration, the Tower of Trester released the starling information that because Mr. Brinker has played basketball in the eighth grade at St. Andrew’s Parochial School, likewise situated in Richmond, he was from hereunto ineligible, and what was doubly worse, all games which Morton has won with him in the lineup has to be forfeited to the adversary. Eight games were thrown out, two Connersvjlle and

Brach McCracken’s Ball State I Cardinals, who enjoyed one of the most successful basketball seasons in the history of the institution, embark on a trail this week-end which is ardorous and difficult. If the boys are successful and capture the secondary college Olympic championship gonfalon, it will be a feather in their caps. Jf not, it will be a feather upstairs anyway, inasmuch as they were invited to cast their fortunes with one of the strongest collegiate fields in the country. Entered in this district’s Olympic tryouts are, beside Ball State, Central Normal, Indiana's secondary college cage champions, Butler, DePauw, Indiana State, University of Detroit, Wayne University, of Detroit, James Millikirt, Western State Teachers, of Macomb, Illinois, University of Cincinnati, Western Reserve, Marietta, Ohio Wesleyan and Miami University, of Oxford,

Ohio.

Whoever is successful in reaching the finals, will compete the following week at Butler Fieldhouse, with six of the major colleges in these parts, mainly DePaul, of Chicago, Northwestern, Illinois, Ohio State, Indiana and possibly Notre Dame. The Irish are undecided, as to whether they can cast their lot with the others, inasmuch as the basketball season is suffering from a dose of the “hang-overs,” at South Bend. If any secondary college is capable of spilling the dope in this rub-off they surely deserve something more than a pat between the shoulder blades. Ball State closed out the regular basketball season against Earlham’s Quakers at Richmond last Saturday evening, winning 40 to 34. To say the least, the boys who wear the red suits enjoyed a very complimentary season, winning consistently and losing inconsistently, which fact pleases the heart of any coach, no matter where situated. The only sad feature about this year’s Cardinal schedule was the fact that Central Normal of Danville was not included. These Purple Aces captured the Indiana Collegiated something-or-other but it wasn’t State’s fault, because neither team met. Coach McCracken should look forward to next season with a great deal of pleasure, inasmuch as only two members of the present squad are scheduled to depart. Ned Schuck, the Prairie Township boy who made good in the city, and Hesher are the two seniors, the others being juniors and sophomores. It begins to look as if there will be a logical successor to Central Normal’s throne within the next year or two and the name seems to be BALL STATE.
