CONTROL HAUTE citizens are up in arms beOVER I cause the State board of tax commissioners BONDS jL will not allow them to issue bonds for the construction of roads. With their objections arises again the question of whether three men sitting in Indianapolis should be able to control practically all public building in Indiana. If the citizens of Vigo County want roads and are willing to pay for them, they should have them. It should not be the province of a tax board or any one else to tell a community what it should have and what it should not have when the thing in question affects that community only. Such a system is carrying paternalism too far. Os course, the question of whether a community really desires to spend noney for an improvement should be settled. Too often a few persons make a big noise in favor of an expenditure while the great majority of the taxpayers who must pay the bill go about their business and say little. At other times, as has been the case of the proposed school building program in Indianapolis, a small group undertakes to speak for the community against an improvement which the community really wants. The question resolves itself into one of community sentiment and should have nothing to do with the personal opinions of a tax board or any one else. MUCH ADO over the visit of Governor Smith ABOUT I of Xew York to French Lick has every apNOTHING pearance of much ado about nothing. Thomas Taggart happens to operate a popular hotel, where those who can afford it frequently go to rest. Governor Smith went to that hotel to rest. Taggart happens to be a Democratic party leader and Smith a Democratic presidential possibility. Therefore, the conclusion that there must be momentous significance in the Smith visit. Smith and Taggart have little in common except the fact they belong to the same political party. Xo Governor of Indiana would have dared sign a bill to repeal the State prohibition law. This is an evident fact regardless of any feeling on the subject by individuals. Smith signed the repealer because he believed the people of Xew York wanted it. Taggart is playing Indiana politics and national politics, not New York politics. Smith has played Xew York politics to such an extent that he cannot play Indiana polities, which is the also Middle West politics and is the kind of politics that more frequently than not wins elections. It is not conceivable that Taggart would back Smith for President. It is not conceivable even that they would attempt, at least at this time, to get together on a candidate. Smith, according to reports, is playing golf and sitting on the hotel porch. That is obviously the purpose for which he went to French Lick.

LONGEVITY natural hours for you to sleep are from AND OUR I 9at night to sin the morning, Dr. Sri Ram SLEEPING X writes in the Indiana Medical Record. He says an hour's sleep before midnight is worth two after. Two hours before and four hours after midnight are the most valuable for sleep, because in these hours physical vigor is at its lowest ebb. The average person needs eight hours’ sleep a night, some require more. Aged people, asked how they lived so long, usually give all kinds of queer reasons. . If truth were known, most of them survive many years because they went to bed with the chickens and got up with the sun. Do you know how to sleep scientifically? Dr. Sri Ram says if you cuil up. the raised position of your knees causes the heart a great amountj of extra work and is apt to produce sleeplessness. _ Best to use a low pillow, for a high one strains the muscles of the neck and makes breathing imperfect. He considers it healthier to sleep naked. Also claims that sleep is sounder and more refreshing if you lie with your head “toward the north in the direction of the magnetic currents of the earth.'’ Dr. Sri Ram recommends a short air bath in front of an open window for insomnia.

A number claimed to GOLD ISSUE MINOR ONE DURING 1924 One Group Will Urge Export of Precious Metal to Europe, By LAWRENCE MARTIN (Copyright, 1923, by United Press.) WASHINGTON, June 18.—America's vast supply of gold—nearly 50 per cent of all there is in the world—will be fought over in the next political campaign, as two contending schools of thought ask public approval of their “gold policy." One group wilj urge the country—particularly the farmers—to approve huge exports of American gold, on the ground that to keep it endangers the financial supremacy of the United States and the prosperity of j the farmer's and business men. Another group will demand the | people insist the gold be kept. This j group will charge the opponents of this policy are trying to enrich Eu rope at the expense of the United j States. The two groups have been unable • to settle it among themselves. They | will take it to the people.

A plan Is under consideration in Government circles to export SI,OOO. 000.000 of American gold to Europe. ' This has not been done largely be j cause if it were undertaken without ' carfeul preparation it might partici ! pate a panic. While offi -iais believe $1,000,000,000 could be exported with-| out causing the slightest danger—in j fact, it would be beneficial, many of them hold—they are frankly afraid i of the result on business in this country.

Whereas but 1.708 automobiles were turned out during the first year of the Ford company’s operation, following incorporation June 16, 1903, production now averages more than five times that number per day. The growth and expansion of the Ford interests is said to have been the most phenomenal business record ever established. The capital originally subscribed in the company was SIOO,OOO. of which only $28,000 In cash was actually paid into the treasury. Among the'twelve original stockholders in the company. Henry Ford held 25 per cent of the stock. Drove Own Cars Ford sold his car to the public from the start by practical demonstration. He piloted the first Ford racer and won race after race in all parts of the country. Driving old “999" on an ice track Ax Baltimore Bay. Mich., Ford was the first to break the mile-a-min-ute record. In 1907 Ford acquired additional stock in the company, bringing his holdings up to 58>4 per cent. In 1913 anew standard for the in dustrial world was set by the famous $5-aday minimum wage for Ford workers, and the $10,000,000 profitsharing plan.

"We have no newspaper women in China.” Miss Chang explains, "and no wonderful women's sections in our newspapers. It Is my hope to acquire American methods in Journalism and Introduce them ir. China.” Thus, for the first time will a Chinese newspaper devote space for ;he benefit of women only, she adds. Miss Chang, who was born In Shanghai, was awarded a Boxer Indemnity scholarship by the Chinese government two years ago and came to this country with a group of honor students. Her brother, who is in the diplomatic service in Washington, and a cousin are her only relatives In America.

Steel Town ‘Gives Lie' to Its Parent and Founder—Men Want Eight-Hour Day at Living Wage Despite Judge's Statement to Contrary, ‘ By HARRY B. HUNT XEA Service Writer GARY, Ind., June 18.—Gary contradicts Gary. The child disagrees with the parent. In other words, Gary, the steel town, is at loggerheads with Gary, the steel man, over both the desirability and the necessity of the 12-hour day in the steel industry. As head of a committee of the American Iron and Steel Institute, appointed by himself, organized at the request of President Harding to study the situation in the steel industry to determine if the 12-hour day in the mills could not be abolished, Gary recently reported:

That the twelve-hour day is necessary. That a majority of the workers prefer It. That it imposes no unreasonable hardship on the men. That It is not an injury to the employes, physically, mentally or morally. Investigated Thoroughly I came to this steel town, founded and fathered by the czar of the steel industry, whose name It bears, to find if Gary, the town, agreed with Gary, the man, on these questions. My conclusion, after inquiry extending through the mills, through the business, commercial, social and civic organizations of the town, and covering scores of workers and ordinary citizens, is that: i Gary, the steel .nan, does not voice the beliefs of Gary, the steel town. This in spite of tremendous pressure, exerted economically and otherwise.

to keep Gary, the town, subservient In all things to the demands and desires of Gary 1 , the chairman of the board of the United States Steel Corporation. “What is the effect of the twelve-hour-day on the business life of the town?” I asked John Warner, secretary of the Gary Chamber of Commerce. "Very bad,” was the immediate response. "The result is that they have opportunity for neither home nor community life. They have no time for recreation. They are merely slaves to their jobs. It is bad for them mentally, physically, morally. It Is not only bad for them individually, but it is bad for the town and the whole community." Gary, with its population of 65,000, made up of 25 nationalities, might be expected to demonstrate something of the possibilities of the "melting pot’’ in which diverse races are supposed to be blended into Americans. Gary 's a Furnace Bu- Gary is not melting pot. It is a furnace which burns men out, not a crucible in which they are blended. 1 The difference, sociologists Insist, Is j chiefly due to the daily 12-hour heat. After a 12-hour day in the mills, a man has just two desires—to eat, then ! sleep. Recreation? Study? Interest in community or civic affairs? Social j contact with other men? First the ability then the desire for these are burned out of him by his 12-hour workday. Food, then rest, then back to the mills again. That is his life. The result is a minimum of mingling between the diverse groups and nationalities that make up this superindustrial city. A community of more i than a score of distinct “sections," the ' inhabitants of which soon lose all interest in or desire to know better the other groups or Individuals which make up this city of slaves to steel. "The workmen.” Judge Gary stated in his report, "prefer the longef hours because it permits larger compensa- ! tion per day.". That point of view, so far as I coud learn, somewhat distorts the attitude of even those men who do acquiesce in the twelve-hour day. ■ As they put it. they prefer the twelvehour day because at the present : hourly scale for unskilled labor they could not earn enough to support their families on an eight or tenhour day. They approve the twelve- | hour day not because it gives them "larger compensation,” but because It gives them enough to live. An eight-hour day at the present ! scale, all agree, is Impossible. What j is desired is an eight-hour day at a I living wage. “The twelve-hour day,” a man closely in touch with the situation in the big Illinois Steel Company's plant here, declared, "results In a tremendous loss through Inefficiency and labor turn over. The men enter the rrjills to serve a twelve-hour sentence. There is no enthusiasm and little I loyalty. | . Must Take It Easy “Instead of trying to produce the best and most that is In them, they try to get by with a minimum. They say. probably with truth, that they cannot work at full speed for twelve, hours. They must slack, take it easy, kill time, in order to hold through their long tricks. , The loss of productiveness through that one factor, in my Judgment, alsost If not completely offsets the added output of a tweve-hour as against an eight-hour day.” But as a social problem the twelvehour day Is even more Important than as an Industrial one. Judge Gary seeks to lower the immigration bars, to let In more immigrants, while the city of Gary Is finding that the twelve-hour day he Imposes In hl industry Is the greatest single barrier to the Americanization of foreigners already here. "Steel.” says Gary, the man, “can't | be produced on an eight-hour day..” “Steel." says Gary, the town, “can be and Is being produced on an eighthour day." Which sounds very like a child gjving the lie direct to its parent! A second story on Gary, dealing with the immigration situation, will be printed Tuesday.

The City Man’s Flower Song By BERTON BRALEY I love to ride the countryside And see the flowers bloom; A sentiment is in their scent, Romance in their perfnme. I love the rose that wildly giowa.
