Two weeks mote ot the legisla- . titre and then you can worry about < your spring garden, your Easter togs and a lot of oilier things which bring pleasure and happi- ( Hess in a law ridden country. America is a rich country, but a congressman had to be informed that the I . S. treasury did not issue paper money in one million dollar denomination, th' largest bill being SIOO,OOO. On of the latter would make a swell birth- i day present. i — . — To replace the hundreds of obso-1 ( lele bridges on state roads, it is , estimated that it would cost around ■ 20 million dollars. This makes it. , impossible to build the bridges ill ■ one or two years and enhances tlie problem of the state highway , commission.

They turned their guns, of course, upon Governor M. Clifford Townsend as the man personally responsible for what they declared was the worst of rackets. A committee was named to search down this scandal and reveal it in all its hideous details. There was such a committee, and it went deep into its investigation, it summoned the educators who had been named to select the books, it summoned such eminent men as Dr. Bryan, the revered president emeritus of the Indiana University and Dr. L. A. Pittenger. the presiednt of the Ball State Teachers College. They invited in many and sundry witnesses, but the more they proved, the more they found of credit to the administration. They found that Governor Townsend had persistently pursued the policy of non-interfer-ence. Os course, if you have read only the hostile press, you found scant ' mention of the results of that investigation. while your attention was directed to it in the greatest j of headlines when it started. This experience of these investigators may explain why none of the promised scandals ever happened. Their leaders called off all inquiries. One inquiry was enough. It ended in a dud. NO BANK PANICS: Not all have forgotten the days when President Roosevelt came : into power. Not al! have forgot-1 ten th< long lines ot panic stricken depositors who gathered at the doors ot banks which had closed their doors, never to open again, and for the most part, never to obtain the money they iiad left I with these banks. One of the first acts passed under the Roosevelt regime was that to guarantee all bank deposits up to $5,000. The bank at first object- | ed to the law which forced them | to contribute to the funds set aside I for this purpose. No bank objects today. Certainly the 37.000 men and women who had placed their money in the New Jersey bank which was forced to close because of its heavy loans on real estate, will not object. The bank closed early last week. It was turned over to a receiver. But there were no hordes of anxious, desperate depositors around its doors. There were no wails or grave disaster. T.tert wore no thought of suicide from those whose savings had been entrusted. There was no threats to mob the officers of the bank, none ot the scenes so familiar in all previous bank failures. Eor the government, through the organization established for just such situations, promptly announced that full payment to all with ss.imo or less on deposit, would be made as soon as the bank could he liquidated. Such a failure, at other times, would have started a run on all other hanks in the New Jersey city ami every other banker would have trembled for his own safety. Nothing of the sort happened. Business ami industry continued as usual. Men and women still went to work, sure that the banking episode would have no effect upon their jobs. All felt safe because they were safe. Those who have hurled their criticism against the New Deal and its methods might read the lesson. Eor more than bank deposits have been saved by the New Deal. Human life Is safer, just as every liberty is safer from the plan and program established when this country turned over to Democratic . control. | o 1 Trade In A Good Town — Deeatnx

THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE MILL By Waller A. Shead Special Correspondent for Dailv Democrat Indianapolis. Feb 21- Making the Republican proposal futile by com-j parison. Democratic members of the j Indiana State Senate Monday flight. agreed on a measure which would seTeguard the gross i'leome 'ax re-j i .enue for the state, and would al |the same time, extend relief not onI ly to small retail dialers throughout the state in the matter of gross income tax payments, but would extend the same relief to service dealers, such as barber shops, dry cleanlevs, beauty parlors, and the like. From the very first, the adminisi;>ation of Governor M Clifford Townsend has promised that any inequalities in the gross income tax law would be corrected, either through increased exemptions or some other method. In making good that pledge, the Governor has finally evolved a pjan with the cooperation of Senator Jake Weiss, of Indianapolis, which he believes will relieve 75 of the retail dealers and at the same time, fix gross income tax revenue at its present revenue. This plan is a graduated scale ranging rates from '4 of 1% on incomes up to $15,000; 14% on incomes from sls 000 to $25,000; < from $25,000 to $50,000; 1% from $50,000 to SIOO,OOO lL4 r from SIOO. 000 to a million dollars, and I’zi' on incomes of more than a million dollars. Records of the gross income tax show that the largest group of retail dealers throughout the stat'! have a gross income of $15,000 or less. To meet constitutional rulings | winch have been made by the United States Supreme Court, the graduated scale would work a.s follows: For instance, if a retail dealer had an income of SIOO,OOO. say, he would pay ’4 of 1'- of $15,000; It” would pay '4 : on the next $ 10,090; ( he would pay ot I**- on the next $25,000; 1' on the next $50,000.1 However, on all dealers whose in .oiites arc $15,000 or less, the lax rate would he It of I'T comi>aied to the present rale ol 1% with a , $3,000 exemption. it is the plan to substitute these , provisions for House bill 47. which fiasscd the Republican House, catry-: ing a reduction in all gross incoin" tax rales on retail sales of %%• This bill would not give the relief, to the small retailers and would at the same time take approximate- i ly six and a half million dollars from slate revenues during the next Idenniini. necessitating either I new soiwces of revenue or curtailment of the slate's payment to teachers or to public welfare. \ decision equally important inI solar as local communities are cou- ' (erned was reached at the conference with Governor Townsend late Monday, which would send an additional million and a half dollars to cities and counties for'highway purposes. I This money will be taken Irom

the atate highway dep ntments 1 funds and is to lie distributed in addition to the present distribution of I highway funds, on an equitable |i, isis of need in the several cotin- | ties. i These provisions will be substituted for those of House bill 103, . Republican bill, which has ali ready passed the House, and, which 1 would take a million two hundred ■ad fifty thousand dollars from the state general fund and approximate'ly four and a half million dollars from the state highway funds for distribution to local communities, again necessitating a need for additional sources of revenue for the state because of an unbalanced budget.. Under the Democratic plan.those' counties where there is acute need for additional highway funds will be taken care of and the state highway commission program will be needed. With only two weeks to go, four major problems remain to be settled by the 81st General Assembly. Probably the first in importance. 1 at ieast from a fiscal standpoint, is the biennial budget bill. From a political standpoint, there remains the gross income tax/liquor and beer reform, and the primary bill. .The ! rest of the 889 bills, which have been introduced in both houses, fate into relative unimportance be-. fore those controversial measures.; Showing -w hat 1 regard a lack ofi highest calibre of statesmanship. Representative Herb Evans, the Republican floor leader in the House makes a statement that the Repub- ■ [licans in the House will no' approve the budget bill unless the adminis-j nation makes some concessions to > the House majority in considera-I tion of its bills. The [floor leader even threatens a speI rial session unless the Democrats concede them their platform inea- ; sures. Well, my observation is, that 'lite Republican majority in the House has forced through every G. O. I’, platform measure it has attempted in the lowe rhouse, but[ ’ surely Mr. Evans is not 30 opto-i I mistic as to believe that the Demo-' 1 cratic Senate wil lacccpt the Republican platform iu toto and enact it into law. The biennial appropriation bill is I i not a political measure. It is not a | I Democratic measure, neither is it a ' Republican measure. It was written! i by two Democrats and two Repub-' I licans and calls for the necessary finances to operate the state gov- ! eminent for the next two years at a I figure, which, in the opinion of the budget comjnittee, is economical |and fair. It the Republicans retuse to pass it in the House or sea fit to cut it. then it will be their ’responsibility as to whether or not it is necessary to cull a special ses'.sioii to enact a budget bill, or it will li.-. their responsibility if it is nee■|essary to cut the cloth to fit Hr: pattern and curtail services by the ■ I state which are now being given to '.the tax paying public of Indiana. ' So far in this General Assembly, 1 Mr. Evans has either belittled or ! ridiculed about every group which hes asked recognition, or which i has sponsored measures through

! ■ - — - I 'the General Assembly. He designate ed lawyers in the House, and the younger members ot the profession generally, as “young squirts” in the , discussion of the integrated Ixir bill. He declared t'lat the dll calling for veuerial tests before mari!ag and before motherhood a racket of the medical profession. He has designated the pct bill of farmers and milk producers, with reference to the milk control law. as just another “vicious racket.” lie has consistently upitosed labor measures and whenever the obstreperous gentlemen from Henry County gets on his feet you can bet that he is prepared to take the bide off o’ some individual or group. Fortunately, however, tin Republican majority in the lower house has seen fit to disregard the Evans leadership time after time and has cast its lot with Speaker James M. Knapp, who on more than one occasion has proven himself a balance wheel to rthe otherwise disorganized house majority. The Republican liquor reform bill known as House Bill 166, progressed to second reading in the Senate this morning with a host of amendments attached. The bill, as now amended, would specifically end the . , beer importer system and leave the ; v holesalers on a state-wide-opeu ' , lasis. | Apparently, however, there has ' been no specific agreemnt reached as yet on just how the liquor reform bill will eventually materialize. The The only agreed point, thus far is elimination of the port of entry system. There are five interested groups which must considered 1 In the liquor reform measure. These include the out of state breweries, the Indiana breweries, the wholesalers and the two political parties. Each, of course, has a ■more or less ! selfish interest at stake. The Democratic party, however i has a smarting remembrance of the so-called good old days when the breweries controlled the distribuition of beer, and incidentally the j I Democratic party, and the respou-1 I sible party ehieftans are not pre-1 pared at this time to permit any ' group, either the breweries or the I i wholesalers, to control the Indus-i i try or the party. ♦ — ♦ Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE < « Q.

SYNOPSIS In the spring of 1829, Kit Carson, I then 19, first rode with a party of trappers from Taos, New Mexico, ' into California in search of beaver fur riches. , Fighting the Apache, harried by Mexican authorities, ; ambushed by Mojave redskins, adding always to their store of thick ' pelts-the party reached Los Angeles before they turned back to- ' ward the dark-eyed women and ‘ fiery “Taos lightning” they had left behind. In the fall of 1830, Kit ' rode again with a band of trappers, who followed what would later be 1 the Oregon trail. Snow—and Black - feet-halted them in the region ' later to be part of There Kit first caught sight of the , 1 beautiful maid, Pine Needle, daughter of Chief Red Bear destined to 1 die by Kit's hand. When next the ' young scout met Pine Needle he 1 saw that her eyes were blue and 1 her skin pale gold, but . . fiery hate blazed from those eyes, hate for the white man who had slain her father in a recent battle. CHAPTER X Kit's trailing done, he was content ; to take a quiet part in the stirring life of the camp. Some of the trappers hail brought their Indian wives. They were usually of a dis- i tinguished and quiet comeliness. Kit I liked the way they tended tepees i and fires, while their soft doelike eyes followed their white husbands ( with a tenderness that stirred an ( inexplicable emotion in Kit. He found himself thinking, “They : are good women. . " The girl whose memory haunted Kit was of the Blackfcet tribe. This trading rendezvous was in Blackfeet I country. By night, by day, around I this merry camp crept and spied I warriors of this vast red confed- I eracy. Thirty thousand Blackfeet I had swarmed down from the Yel- ’ lowstone region to harry the plains. ' Where—among all these roving redskins—was she? Even in the rendezvous, guards watched every night and the trappers and traders spoke in dread of the Blackfeet. “Vanderburgh of the American Fur Company was captured by Blackfeet this spring. We found his body—cut to ribbons by torture. Milt Sublette was shot clean through -haul up yo' shirt, Milt, and show the boys! Bridger got two arrows in his back just last month—his hair turned white running the gantlet. Blackfeet are wuss’n other Injuns!". Kit, listening, would try to assure himself there was nothing he hated as much as a Blackfoot. The recent battles with trappers had excited the Blackfeet. One night they entered the rendezvous corral and drove away eighteen horses, including Jim Bridger’s splendid Comanche mount, Grohcan. Cart was elected loader. He selected thirty trappers. Kit lead led them up Green River, over the plains. The first flurry of snow met •hem, promising winter. They came to a great Blackfeet village. This time the women did not run screaming from the fires, for all the warriors were there, and the stolen horses. The women stood contemptuously staring. Among them —Pine Needle! Kit approached the Chief, standing before a tripod that bore a leather shield marked with the sign of a black dog. Kit raised his hand. “Parley?” asked Kit in the Blackfeet tongue. The Chief bowed. "Parley? What for, Carson?” Kit was known then. He had led his men into a trap. Around them were hundreds of armed warriors. But his eyes drank in the tormenting beauty of the girl. Something in her expressive glance—was it horror? warned Kit. Encircled by scowling redskins, Kit felt that he was close to doom. Even in that moment of terrible danger, Kit’s heart bounded as he scrutinized Pine Needle. “She is not like the others!” he gloated silently. Chief Black Dog bent his head ngr:.».

A number injured and ! the financial loss was big. Dr. J A Brock of the Fistd Adi ministration, is lecturing in this i territory.

quoise, fell to his buckskin covered ' knees. Gravely he heard Kit Carson. 1 “We have come for our horses, I Chief.” • The hundreds of armed warriors ’ moved forward soundlessly forming 1 a thick circle around the white men. ■ Many, Kit noted, carried rifles sold < them by unscrupulous traders. I The Chief said softly, “We will smoke the peace pipe together. We ' did not know the horses belonged to 1 white men. We took them, we thought, from our enemies, the 1 Snakes. We would not rob white ’ men ...” So he protested over and over, In- 1 dian fashion, while fifty warriors alternated with the thirty trappers 1 tn one great circle around the larg- 1 lest fire. Behind them massed the 1 other Blackfeet braves. Kit at the Chief's right hand lifted the carved 1 and painted calumet to his lips in I the ancient rite of peace. : But his gaze was fixed on the girl I whose eyes were blue in her golden i face, whose body was fauniike in the ■ dress of fringed white doeskin. Pine i Needle stood apart from the Other whispering women as if she were , net one of them. She had shown plainly her fear. , It would not do to reveal suspicion. . When the peace pipe came around . again, Kit accepted it from the dark , hand of the Chief and spoke casually. ; "When may we nave our horses, oh red brother? When ntay we have the eighteen fine horses your warriors took by mistake from our corral? The ride back to the rendezvous is long and my men are tired.” The Chief spoke guttural words. Five braves left the circle, and returned leading five horses by leather thongs. Kit, pretending not to notice, saw they were poor swaybacked Indian ponies of the kind the women used to move the t'-pees. The trappers' eighteen horses continued to graze nearby. Kit purled smoke from his lips. He spoke softly in English. “Boys, we’ll have to fight our way out. When I reach for my gun, every man do the same and cover an Injun." Whereupon he passed the pipe to his copper skinned neighbor and said in Blackfeet, “Peace to you!" “Here are your fine horses,” said the Chief, blandly waving. His full lips smiled. An Indian loves a practical joke. And Kit saw that every redskin's weapon was close at hand as he reached for his own. “Laugh, you varmint!” he snarled and shot the grinning Chief through the heart. Then it was run for it. He lost sight and thought of the girl in the tumultuous fighting that followed. Over the snow-patched ground, behind rocks and clumps of sagebrush, thirty-one white men fought for their lives. Trapper Markland’s gun jammed. Kit was aiming at a savage who was leveling a rifle at him when he saw a Blackfoot swinging a tomahawk toward Markland’s head. Kit swerved his own gun and shot the savage, saving Markland’s life, but as he did so his enemy fired. Kit tried to dodge but the heavy lead ball struck his throat and passed through to the shoulder, shattering the bone. Kit fell. His powerful spirit fought against death. He tried to rise but pain spread from his aching shoulder and numbed his body and he fell behind a rock. Markland ran to him. “You can’t help me—try to save yourself.” Kit could have cursed his tongue so mumbled were the words. A spear whizzed past Markland. He turned to face five warriors advancing with drawn bows. As Markland raised his gun in desperation, Kit saw above his rock the fearful i painted features of a giant Blaek- • foot. A hand gtipped a granite axe ’ set in thonged handle. The tomai hawk came toward him. Kit closed his eyes. Ho was no - coward but no man faced scalping without meeting the utter limits of horror. As his scalp tightened and his anguished body flexed to meet the death blow, he heard a girl’s 1 voice ring out in sharp command: i “No!” After that, sease stirred ui scarlet
