INCREASING TAX BILLS "TTig IS usual at this time of year, public officials are devoting r\ most of their attention to taxation. A few taxpayers are showing an interest and are planning the usual attempt to cut down the levies. Most of the others will realize there has been a decided increase in taxes when they pay the first installment next May. When it is too late they will kick. Some years ago there was enacted into law a bill known as the Goodrich tax bill. Among other things, it provided that valuations for taxing pnrposes should be identical with the market • value of the property to be taxed. This had previously been a provision of the law, but it had not been enforced. Taxing officials, with the enactment of the new law, started enforcing it. Taxpayers whose property had been valued at only a fraction of what it was worth became alarmed when they began to observe the 100 per cent valuations, “Don't worry,” said politicians. “This doesn’t mean you must pay more money, It means a rate lower in the same proportion as the valuation has been increased. In fact, when this post-war inflation ends the amount you must pay will go down.” Sure enough, the rate dropped. That was in 1919. The next year the rates increased, despite the fact deflation had started to some extent. The following year they increased again. This year the rate in the portion of Indianapolis inside Center Township is higher than it ever was under the old valuations. If your property was valued at 50 per cent under the old ■ystem—and that condition was not uncommon —you must pay next year more than twice as much money in property taxes as you paid during the war! The State rate has been increased 3 cents, and yet the Auditor of State says there will be a large deficit next year. The last Legislature engaged in an orgy of spending unheard of in Indiana. "VTe are reaping the results with a high tax rate and an ever-mounting State debt. The city rate is higher than ever before. The school r'ate is up. Only the county rate has dropped. What has become of the economy promises of the politicians ? The politicians should be forced to answer. Taxation is not ; a complicated problem unless it is mixed with politics. The trouble with Indiana is that the State has been fed an overdose of politics. And the pill is not even sugar-coated.

KEEPING BABIES HEALTHY A ILL Indiana mothers will be interested in this: Babies born in congested New York City are, as a rule, healthier than babies of the average city of 10,000 or more population in New York State, This is announced by the American Child Health Association. Along the same line, and more startling, was the discovery about a year ago that the health rate among babies of New York’s east side is lower than among babies on New York State farms. Mothers reading this will wonder: "What is the reason? Doctors admit that babies bom in New York City’s fearful con- ’ gestion have tremendous odds to overcome. That they win is due partly to heredity—healthy parents. The average immigrant from abroad is “strong as an ox.” However, many of them were peasants in Europe, accustomed to living in the great outdoors. This type of person inclines to be relatively easy prey for the health-destroying influences of congested city life. Counteracting this, according to physicians, is the fact that residents of the most congested sections of New York City are “reached” by a thorough system of public health education, such as medical clinics, publio dispensaries, compulsory health measures, scientifically prompt collection of garbage, etc. Best of all, the east side mother as a rule is hungry for help. Bhe seeks advice—and takes it when she gets it. Doctors have the unhealthiest environment. They live and work in contact with all kinds of infectious diseases. Nevertheless, the average health, of doctors is enviable. They know what to do to protect themselves. The deduction from this is obvious: Good health is possible if we devote to it the same attention we give to, for instance, our autos or radio. i FIRE PREVENTION RESULTS J7\|NE of the important subjects before the American public today is fire prevention. Millions of dollars in property, as well as loss of human lives, is recorded annually. Frank C. Jordan, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce fire prevention committee, who recently attended a meeting of the United States Chamber of Commerce fire prevention committee conference in Washington, says: “Indianapolis is leading all other cities in the United States in fire preventive measures.” Most fires are the result of carelessness. Fire Chief John J. O’Brien says shingle roofs are the greatest fire menace. For the first eight months of this year 29,930 permits have been issued for reroofing dwellings with fire resistance roofs. Every day the fire prevention department of the fire department has forty-one experienced firemen on duty inspecting houses and business plants. In the eight months 44,107 inspections have been made and 33,733 were reported O. K., while 10,374 were asked to remedy some fire hazard. The fire department is “doing all that is humanly possible to save lives and property,” says Jordan. During the week of Oct. 7 to 13 all Indianapolis will unite in observing fire prevention week. Fire prevention really begins Jan. 1 and lasts until Dec. 31, but during this week the gospel of fire prevention will be broadcast. THERE’S no place like home after school has started.

AMERICA IS' FUSION OF ALL PEOPLE Can Rolling Wave of Democracy Remain So With No Frontier as in Past? By HERBERT QUICK. SME RICA is a people. It is different from any other people. It is a people made of elements from the ends of the earth, mest of them from Europe; but it la more than the sum of all that entered into it. You add up the British, the Irish, the German, the Scandinavian, the southern European, Balkan and eastern European elements in it, and they make a certain amount; but America is a different and greater quantity. For as America was made there entered into it the element of growth and transformation and fusion and multiplication through growth. If any American, whether bom in this country or not, desires to begin thinking on the problem of what made America, I should commend to him the reading of a book entitled “The Frontier in American History." It is by Frederick J. Turner, once professor of history at the University of Wisconsin, but for some years the occupant of a similar chair at Harvard. Now Conception The book will bring to many anew conception of what America is as well as of how she was builded. America is what she is because we have had a means of changing folk from generation to generation under conditions of freedom on our frontier. Turner shows us the frontier as a continuously moving belt of population “on the hither side of free land." First, It was just back of the seaboard settlements. Massachusetts had her frontier, Virginia had hers. The Dutch moved up the Hudson and then on up the Rondout and other valleys, into New Jersey and on into Pennsylvania. Vermont was the frontier of New England, and so was Maine. The first Great West spread down the Cumberland and Shenandoah valleys of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, away to the hill countries of the Carolinas, and was made up in the main of Scotch-Irish and Germans. Then came western New York, tne Ohio valley, Kentucky and Tennessee. Then the forest States about the lakes and on the Mississippi. Then the prairies and then the leap to the Pacific coast. He shows, too, the frontier is a thing of the past in America. Can we remain Americans with no frontier? Turner does not say so, but I suggest that if we would keep America a different thing from Europe, we must think of the land question as the most Important one in America today.

Science

Lightning flashes fourteen feet long and hurled by 1,500,000 volts are now being manipulated by the electrical master, Steinmetz. The enormous apparatus used in these experiments Is for the purpose of studying how to control currents for transmission at high voltage and over long distances safely and economically. These great experiments are the indirect result of the work of a young man named Faraday, later famous as a scientist, in 1832. He noticed that when the current was started or stopped in a coll cf wire, a Bpark came from another conductor nearby. This fact, called induction, made possible the induction coil, dynamo, eleotric motor and giant transformers that make transmission from distant waterfalls possible today. Faraday’s name ranks high in the hall of fame of science. The unit used for measuring condensers is named after him—the Farad.

LIKELIHOOD OF SPECIAL SESSION NIL Coolidge Must Sit Back and Hold Peace Until Something Turns Up. By JOHN CARSON, Times /Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—President Coolidge would invite political suicide for himself and his party by calling a special session of Congress. The President is forced by conditions to sit back, hold his peace, and, like Micawber, ‘‘..ope for something to turn up.” This is the view of Republican leaders in the Senate and a view they have not hesitated to Impress on the President. So, despite Senator Borah’S’ picture of a threatening economic and political revolution in the farm States, and the cry of Northwest bankers for immediate legislation, there is little likelihood of a special session now. Committees at Work In the meantime, Coolidge has special committees at w r ork. They are gathering statistics in an endeavor to show the farmer his condition is not so bad and additional statistics to contend the future holds out hope for better times on the farm. Consider the case of Senator Lenrcot of Wisconsin should a special session be called? Lenroot was once a progressive. He has been a regular for some time. President Coolidge and the conservative Republicans of the East count on his support. But if the President called a special session of Congress, Lenroot would be embarrassed. He predicted bankruptcy for the wheat farmers If the Foidney-McCurnber tariff bill were enacted. It was enacted and bankruptcy conditions followed. To be Consistent., Lenroot would have to demand immediate revision downward of the profiteering schedules of the tariff bill. Lenroot would be faced by these words, uttered by himself: Gooding Meets High Tariff "Unfortunately, the Senator from Idaho (Senator Gooding! cannot convince the American peopje of the correctness of the position he takes, that no tariff is too high to stilt him. The Senator wants an embargo upon everything we produce, and if that policy could be carried into effect, he would strike a blow at every wheat grower in America, at every farmer in America who must have a foreign market for his surplus. Lenroot could not have predicted conditions more accurately if he had been the greatest of prophets. The conditions he painted came to pass with the adoption of the Fordney-Mc-Cumber tariff bill.

The fact that your city councilmen were divided equally upon the question of locating the public market on the south side Is encouraging. It Bhows that the members of that body are giving consideration to publlo needs and that they are not voting blindly for any proposal that may be made. The public Interest is more likely to be served by men who have opinions and who take time to form opinions than by rubber stamps who give their approval to any suggestion given them. • • • Convenient (Ft.

When McCray was elected Governor the State’s expenses were but little over half of $40,000,000 a year, so that during his term we shall have an increase of between $16,000,000 and $20,000,000 a year in State expenses* Why not cut off a few millions In expenses next year? It can be done, and the people of Indiana will be Just as happy. • • • Ministers (Vincennes Sun) The movement for pension funds for retired ministers is picking up ground in the United States. The {.reat majority of clergymen exist on salaries that often are only slightly more than that of the church sextons. Their opportunities for acquirement of wealth outside their calling ore limited, if not discouraged. It Is encouraging to note that the churches have turned to this side of the business of religion.

Someone In a cynical mood once defined patriotism as the last resort of a scoundrel. While this may be false philosophy, the British movie incident is worth notice as an illustration that patriotism frequently is used in economics as a crutch for industrial inefficiency or a mask for things and motives a lot worsen Laws Americans have at least 100,000 laws to obey. An expert makes this estimate. He is too conservative. The last Congress passed 930 new laws. And the various State Legislatures pass about 18,000 laws a year. We are too interested in enacting new laws, not enough attention to enforcing laws we already have. Easy to understand. We have a national mania for believing that all we have to do to solve a problem is to get a legislative body to rule against it. “Pass a law agin It,” is a hypnotic formula by which we dodge issues rather than in statutes.

Community Spirit To the Editor of The ftmee Your editorial commendation of the E. Thirtieth St. community center movement was one which meets commendation of those who for several years maintained an organization of this kind at Branch Library No. 1. A free lecture course for the benefit of the entire community was organized and maintained by the Federation of Clubs of North Indianapolis. Speakers of ability from "down In the city” and elsewhere, representing almost every shade of religious and political opinions, delivered addresses fortnightly. Each address was limited to forty-five minutes. Five minutes were then given each person . in which to ask questions or comment! upon the points of the address. The ] speaker had ten minutes in which to \ close. The addresses were on themes of current public interest. The liberalizing and socializing effects upon the community were apparent. Although among those who kindly donated their services and addressed the people were pastors of several of the strongest churches “down In the city.” This free lecture course was put out of busmens by religious bigotry. No class of property is less used according to its value than school ! buildings. These should be available for community centers. The i petuity of free institutions rests upon the Intelligence and patriotism of voters. It is to be hoped that the residents of E. Thirtieth St. will be able to continue to maintain their community center. FRED T. LOFTIN', 955 TV. Thirty-Fifth Et. Christian Science To the Editor of The Time An advertisement headed, “The Cathollo Religion” published In your issue of Sept. 16 gives the impression that the religion set forth therein Is Christian Science or that it is the same as Christian Science. Such impressions and inferences are wrong, for the religion designated byf the advertisement as “The Cathollo Religion” is not a part of nor to any way connected with the Christian Science organization, neither are tadlvtluals claiming membership of affiliation with that religion connected 1 with Christian Science or Its actlvi- t ties. 1 Unfortunately, this erroneous Impression is emphasized by the fact that the author of die advertisement under consideration has quoted liberally from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy, and has thereby made it appear that “The Catholic Religion" is not only based upon the Christian Science textbook, but that the relation of that religion to Christian Science Is established by the quotation given. No doubt the tribute given to Christian Science by the author of the advertisement was appreciated by Christian Scientists, but It would be unfair to your readers to let the erroneous Impression given by the advertisement, go uncorrected.
