Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. One good that ought to come from all these long parades for the NRA will to to aid the shoe Indus-1 try. It wears out leather to travel ten or fifteen miles over city streets. These fellows who are trying to prove that the country will not go to the bow wows if the NRA fails are sate enough. They won’t to prove it for its not going to fail. The coal code was adopted within the time allotted by President Roosevelt, even if they did have to follow the Indiana legislature and. turn the clock back a few hours. Prices for grain and livestock have started upward and its the guess of those best informed that these boosts will continue for a while. Over a period of a few months you will find substantial increases that will please the farmer who desires to be fair. The NRA parades are alright of codrse but they don't do as much good as those who actually do something to help put it over, such as employing folks to work, increasing wages, buying the goods they need and otherwise assisting in taking the country out of the depression. The county tax board is laboring over the budgets and will fix a rate for each corporation and township. These men will use their very best judgment and that’s all we can expect, from them They cannot change conditions. Let’s support them. ' The charges against Mayor Johns n of Gary have been dismissed upon motion Bob Estil. prosecuting attorney for Lake county, indicating as his friends here surmised. that the whole thing was a gesture on the part of those who desired to put the mayor on the spot. He has had a long and tough battle but usually old Roswell comes out the winner. Take all the Home Owners Corporation bonds you can get. They are worth par now and will advance in price when the public realizes just what they are. Backed by the real estate held by the | corporation and by the $200,006,0001 of capital stock, with interest guaranteed and promptly paid by the government January Ist and July Ist, at four per cent, they are as good securities as you can have and don’t let any one tell you any thing else. Tax payers over in Kosciusko county threaten a strike unless a tax rate of $1.50 is fixed. Why be silly? If that amount won't pay the bills, they must either quit or declare an emergency. It’s fine to fight for a rate as low as possible hut beyond that is only foolish. Debts cannot be repudiated, schools should not be closed and the mrfldings owned by a county or city must be kept up. W’e want electric lights, water and other utilities and we would be foolish to permit our roads to go to pieces.

That all costs money and what we don’t pay now, we will have to meet later. Lets be sensible. 1 The reduction in school cost is I plainly shown in the financial report filed by County Superinten dent Striker. The schools of the county paid the teachers $82,600 this year as compared to SIOB,OOO last year. That actual effort is being made to meet the restrictions of hard times is evidenced by every government. There is a limit however as to that and we should not go too far. As long as valuations decline there will probably have to ■ be some advances in rates. What else can be done, unless we want the schools and other institutions closed entirely and few would favor that. Indiana communities which failed to budget sufficient funds to provide for an adequate and satisfactory education of the youth are not playing fair with the next gen-1 eration of citizens. The generali increase in th" cost of operating | political units it this state is in j I itself no reason why the school | system should be singled out as the j particular branch of the govern-1 meat which should suffer most. If I a community is unable to raise sufficient money to finance all the governmental operations, horizontal cuts in the budgetary requirements of all departments are preferable to singling out the school system or some other function and making it bear the greater part of the reduction. Schools perform a vital function tn the development of our community life. Many of us are unwilling so concede their importance and to appreciate their value in fostering a sound civic consciousness. — Richmond Palad-1 ium. ’ RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT In Memory Os Brother John S.

BENEFITS OF THENEW DEAL

By Representative Louis Ludlow of Indiana (Editor’s Note—This is the second of a series of articles by Representative Ludlow on "Benefits of the New Deal.”) Let us visualize the situation that existed in America on Mar h 4. 1933. the day Franklin D. Roose velt took the oath of office. That was the zero hour throughout this nation. That was the tow water j mark in economic depressions for ■ all time. Steed the beginning of [ the year 419 banks had failed and ' innumerable thousands more were about to crash. Business and financial structures that had weathered many former periods of ( stress were crumbling like houses' lof cards. Old established banks ■ ■ and business institutions were I j headed for ruin with a velocity ' i that staggered the imagination, ' On every hand one heard it said that the debacle was about to' reach and to pull down the life inI surance companies — thus spread . ing woe to millions more and i making the devastation complete, I I think I can best describe the ■ crisis in which the country found ! itself on March 4 by making use j of a figure of speech in which I I shall concentrate the 123,660.0001 [ people of America into one indi- > i vrdual and place that individual j ' in a row boat in the churning wat-1 1 ers a few hundred feet above the I ' drop of Niagara Falls. It does not j i require any graphic word-painting i I on my part to show that in such

a place America was in a very | perilous situation. It was a hair- i raising moment. In a little while, , he (this America incarnate) would, be tumbling over the falls unless : some extreme methods of rescue i were resorted to immediately. Fortunately the rescuer was at hand. Franklin D. Roosevelt had' hisiiye on the man in the boat and all America, listening in over the radio, was thrilled when the Presi- . dent-elect spoke those magic (words which electrified the nation. “Wltat is needed is action, and action now!" There was no light heartedness ■ then in the President's voice. He was as serious as Lincoln’ was i when the great emancipator. I I shaking on the same spot in his- | seeod inaugural address that, ! reached the very heights of literaI ture. sought to assuage and allay ' the passios fomented by Civil War. Lincolns problems were great. ; but no student of history doubts i that Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 4 last faced an undertaking I of economic rehabilitation greater I even than the gigantic and heartrending task that was before Lin- . coin when amid the same sur- ' roundings he delivered his famous I “with malice toward one. with charity ior all ” inaugural address ion March 4, 1865. The stretch of i sixty-eight years from Lincoln to ’ Roosevelt had seen depressions j come and go hut it had never seen I the country engufed in more universal. more gloomy, heart-sicken-

ing economic thralldom than that which swept it from Maine to California when Franklin D. Roosevelt tn a voice that sounded like the gods speaking from Mt. Olympus said: "What is needed is action and action now!” Did he hesitate? Did he waver? Not for an instant. The petes of history reveal very few examples of sublime courage comparable with the heroic action of the President when, without waiting to warm his new office, he I proclaimed the bank holiday apd ! decreed that only those banks that 1 were in a condition of suondntssl and liquidity to protect all deposi-1 tors should be re-opened. That proclamation was truly a Caosarian operation, but it was an operation that was necessary to a new I birth of confidence in the American banking and financial structure. It was a move that not one president in a hundred would have dared to make, and yet it was the right move, as subsequent developments have amply demonstrated. It was a move that left many-heart-burnings among many financiers whose investments, honestly made, had been caught under the avalanche of falling values. 1 but it was a move that had to be | made to protect the public and save the country. It was the first , great step toward recovery. Blue Sunshine Phenomenon Eugene. Ore.— (U.R) — Blue sun- , light shone down on Eugene recently when 300.000 acres of heavy timberland upstate was destroyed I by forest tires.
