CITY MANAGER SUCCESS VI FAIRLY good example of the operation of the city manager plan of municipal government is to be seen in the protest of Michigan City citizens against the bill which would take from cities the right to choose their own form of government. Michigan City is the only Indiana city now operating under the city manager plan. For instance, H. R. Misener, publisher Qf jthe Michigan City News, writes to State Senator Claude S. Steele: “Michigan City has enjoyed four years of freedom from political bickering and political and machine matiifmlation such as the city never knew before.” And Michigan City has reason to know what- municipal There is no reason why cities should be deprived of the right of choosing their own form of government—no reason, that is, except that the politicians don’t like the idea. TRADE O" UR export trade is now about 19 per cent above pre-war _ figures, that of our leading rivals about 15 per. Cent below, according to Dr. Julius Klein of our Commerce Department. We have learned a lot in recent years about export trade. Until the war our sales abroad were limited mostly to raw materials and to a few manufactured articles protected by our patents. But during the war our production increased so much that we had to get foreign markets to take care of the surplus left by the armistice. And although we have to charge more for our goods, because of high production cost, we market them just the same, because they’re worth more. Another factor in our big export trade, says Dr. Klein, is that we have scrapped many of the old methods to which our rivals still cling.

A BISHOP’S EYE-VIEW D RE\. JAMES E. FREEMAN, bishop of Washing- —— ton, from the Cathedral in which are interred the remains of Y oodrow Wilson, has surveyed the world today from his point, and gives fathers and mothers something to think about. The world in general is becoming better, the Bishop finds, but the home in particular is worse. He &3ks why the home is not keeping pace with commerce, industry, science, and has this to say,i ;<-* ■ .. ' . ' “Our age has witnessed the breaking down of conventions, the dissolution of ties and obligations that were once regarded as secure and sacred. It has been the revolt of youth against old restrictions and the larger liberty if not license of those who refuse to acknowledge authority, whether in home, classroom or the larger sphere of social action; ‘for now a time has come to mock at form.’ There is evidently no limit to our search for independence and freedom of action. Even laws imposed by constituted authority are flaunted and disobeyed, and this by the so-called best people’ in our communities. It is little wonder that this is so, for laws will not be obeyed by men and women who lack deep moral and spiritual convictions. Lightly esteemed and quickly dissolved are sacred marital ties, where caprice of convenience dictates the desirability of new associations and larger freedom of action. ' * “Where there arc no such things as parental obligations, where love interprets itself in terms of lust, we can hardly expect refinement and reverence in the sensitive and imitative youth.

1 1 fathers and mothers think it clever to evade or disobey wholesome conventions or laws, if they make' a travesty of religion and disclose no reverence for sacred things and institutions, if there is nothing holy, and no discipline or restraints are to be observed, except as leisure or convenience dictates, where, in the name of God and of all things decent, are We ultimately to eomef . ... .. , The problem of our time is not economic or racial; it is domestic and social. It is not superficial ; it cuts clear through to the very footings of our boasted Christian civilization.”

Normalcy Ross Decides to Eat Apple Pie, Favorite Rush . Order, Next Time He Runs to Make Train.

By ROSS H. GARRIGUS U y JtTEN I have a minute to W catch a train and less than [ ..J that to store astray provender, I rush into a restaurant and yeil, “Peach pie, cuppa coffee.” I am almost normal—get the almost? For most folks order “Apple pie, cuppa coffee,” according to I. A. Fendrick at the Unjon Station Restaurant. Maybe I’ll change over to apple. Every time I say “Peach pje,” waiter asks, “What kind?** He thinks I say “piece.” If I have two mjmrios to catch a train, I reach normal-jy, for I order a ham sandwich. And “every- , body” in a hurry orders that, Fen- ■ drick said. n Ham sandwich Is the king of Bpeedy chow. Roast beef somettraes is cut from a sacred cow it’s cut from a paH:h ox, but ham Is ham. Resare never out of it and a- you “rare or * Mwmm ,n pop -

ularity. Fendrick said he is selling more cheese than Over before and sale Is increasing every day. Oysters may get pale complexions; ham, hoof-and-mouth disease; chicken had a pox named after it, but cheese never has a disease.

But the old -days of gaunt and famished travelers rushing in, crying for food, is about over, according to Fendrick. "People eat more on the diners. In the first place,” he said. “Too, with- the elevation, they can’t get down here and back in time. Those who are making short trips don’t ride the trains—they use busses or drive their own cars. Wo couldn’t live on transient business any more. We get our big trade from home folks.” But hefe Fendrick was ruining a perfectly good * story. I eased him back. / “How about hot coffee?” I asked. “Do you serve coffee your can gulp pronto?” \ “No, folks like their coffee hot. We serve ice water. They can cool it down to suit theni,"* And then he grinned. To dme about a customer who burned his esophagus—(trip to the dictionary to spell that one). ’’Yes sir,” said Fendrick. “I thought he was kidding. Came up to my desk and spluttered about the dad-blamed coffee. Said he was in a hurry and demanded to know why we didn’t serve cooler.” “Which proves,” says Fendrick, “you caq’t please everybody.”

JAP SENTIMENT OPPOSED TO NEW ARMS CONFERENCE

Former Cabinet Official Says Feeling is ‘lndescribably Bad,' Timet Washington Bureau. IS'H New York Avenue. - -v By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS <T=aASHINGTON, Feb. 9—Ac\jy cording to word received here, TT a feeling of hostility‘is slowly crystalizing in Japan against a new disarmament conference, which may not only block the efforts of President Coolidge in that direction but the conference proposed by the League of Nations as well. Japanese feeling against both the United States and Great Britain “is indescribably bad,’’ according to former Minister of Justice Ozaki Yukio, writing in the important “Yamato.” He blames the ill feeling on Japanese exclusion,'the proposed naval maneuvers in the Pacific and Britain’s project to convert Singapore into one of the world’s strongest naval base:?. * . “It is idle to hope for the success of a disarmament conference ‘ held in ; the present ugly International atmosphere,” he says. “And in the, event of failure of such a confidence relations would be worse than .at present. There would .spring up a keen rivalry •la the construction of auxiliary naval craft and the expansion of flying corps.” > * Statement Important r ' / “ r - ' , This statement by a former Japanese cabinet official is regarded as highly Important, first because it states in a very conservative way what many other important Japanese are saying with considerable heat, and. second, because Ozaki is one of the best known liberals of Japan. Only recently his life was attempted by an imperialist zealot,, who. when arrested,. said he did ft because Ozaki is a pacifist and prevents Japan arming. It is known here that President Coolidge will observe considerable caution before launching a call for another arms conference in Washington. Both houses of Congress have Just requested him to take such action but he is keenly aware Ojf the danger of calling a conference ahd then having it misfire as Ozaki. He will wait first to see what happens to the league’s proposal and if that comes to nothing he will quietly and thoroughly sound out the vari? ous nations before acting. "It is believed here,’l says the Tokio correspondent of the British •owned North China Herald, published at Shanghai, “that if the United State calls a disarmament conference she would be doing so merely because she has an ax to grind.” Andi he adds, “the feelllng In Japaii, ,on the eve of President Coolidge sounding the nations as regards further disarmament is that the move is not prompted by ideals.”

Anti-American Tirades There is' ample evidence to be 'found in the columns upon columns of anti-British and anti-Am'erf cab tirades published in almost till classes of Japanese periodicals that there Is a widespread impression—whether artificially stimulated or not makes little difference—that there is a tendency toward a Britlsh-American understanding against Japan. "The issue of an arms conference held with this feeling unimproved,” says Ozaki, '‘can well be imagined.” One important country, like Japan,, refusing to take part In the conference is quite sufficient to block the whole thing. Two questions, therefore, logically follow. 1. Just how Important a place does the question of anew arms conference hold In president Coolidge’s program? 2. Will the President be able to bring off a gesture of such grandiose proportions as to disarm Japanese suspicious? If so, what would that gesture be? Favorable reconsideration of Japanese Immigration? Calling off the naval maneuvers In the Pacific? Or what? The former solution Is considered Impossible, the other highly Improbable.

However, tinder our present system, the police department must fetch and carry for . the politicians in power. . *■ What an outburst of lrlignatlon would occur if the President of the United States thus used the Army In his partisan battles. The people wouldn’t permit It. Yet in Indianapolis the police force —which bears the same relation to the municipality that the Army does to the Nation—is made a political weapon. „ The policeman has no choice in the matter. He must be loyal to his bread and butter. As long as municipal Is dominated by politics he must be a political errand boy. Is that conducive to good government? Cupid

Women are supposed to adore Cupid—and to be anxious to assist him—lnstead of running him ragged. The bill, If passed, will make matrimony almost as difficult to contract- as- measles or a hard cold. Worse yet, ifc, will ruin that romantic industry—elopment— to the distress of:the marrying' squires of Clark County. It will be useless for an aspiring Lochlnvar to ride his flivver into a lather if he has to give two weeks' notice.. Elopement and hasty nuptials, though, make more romantic reading. in fiction than in social statistics. Investigators declare they contribute an undue share to marital shipwrecks.

And you 1 don’t belong here at this time of year. ?'■ What brings you? Hunting your mate? They say a wild goose is silly ■ehough to fly straight to the guns if its mate is shot down. And here you are, above'New York, and If you’re worrying about your mate New York will laugh at you. Qo find another. The woods is full of them. Can you see Broadway from Where you are?

The -richest men in the world are here. The biggest hotels and the largest railroad stations and the‘ most taxicabs and the wealthiest banks and the biggest ocean vessels. Can't you pee all of that, Wild Goose? No, you hurry on out of 4he murk and the dirt hanging over us. • You see" at the .and of. the longest Street in the world fields and valleys more beautiful than our parks, hills higher than our Woolworth tower.

Fly silly goose, and find your

shot to get ’em,” asserted the Intrepid woman. “If you don’t shoot to kill, these bandits will bother you to death.” All of which no doubt sounds discouraging to the bandit trade—and they will probably avoid that spunky Amazon in the future. Stiff penalties for convicted holdups, a strictly enforced gun-toting law, and other tightening legal measures may bedim the luster of the bandit business in some localities, but won’t suppress the evil entirely. Outlying stores are particularly susceptible to hold-ups. Their Isolation and remoteness from official protection make them easy marks. An outlaw or two perforated by an Amazon who shoots to kill will do more to cheek that type of banditry than any brawny statute with anew set of teeth. T“, t Vindication drawn as candidate for mayor -of Terre Haute. Recently the Supreme Court upheld the State’s disqualification for office of men who have served Federal prison sentences. Hence his renunciation. Probably his action is wise. If elected instead of holding office he would have both hands full of legul entanglements—for he is in the disqualified class. In announcing his own retirement he declared that his wife would boa candidate. “If Tpxas can have its Ma Ferguson, why can’t Terre Haute have its Ma Roberts?" was the way he put it. Doubtless the lady has the necessary qualities and ability to make an acceptable chief executive for the Vigo County metropolis. It would be strange if she wasn’t as capable as the average mayoralty candidates. Women are demonstrating their fitness for office. They have been elected to posts ranging from constable to governorships. And the world hasn’t come to an end. Unquestionably more of them in time will be elected until* they attain almost equality in office holding. But they will need some other platform than merely vindication of family honor. Eventually the novelty will wear off and the voters will tire of the spectacle of wives trying to pull political chestnuts out of the fire for disqualified husbands.

The Government and the Farmers

By HERBERT QUICK | ARM leaders who have had the feeling that there was a ■ 1 possibility that the Government might undertake to force farm products to an artificially high price through some such plan as the Norris or the McNary-Haugen bills will be disappointed at the decision of the President’s farm commission to adopt the Hoover plan, which provides merely for fostering the cooperative movement through voluntary action of the farmers. The fact is, however, that the Hoover plan goes as far in this direction as the Government can go along correct economic lines. Any bolstering up of prices by law would always be In danger of destruction by law. Under such artificial conditions the fate of the farmers would depend from sesssion to session of

Dome Evidence Probed

Bit Times Special rTTZI ASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Facts \X/ of such far-reaching imporYY tance have been unearthed by the Government attorneys engaged In studying the strange financial negotiations which surrounded the leasing of Teapot Dome that new indictments are to be sought before a Federal grand jury. Though they are guarding their movements behind the strictest secrecy, it has become known that Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts, special Government counsel in the oii cases, are prepared to place before the grand jury now In ses- * Income Tax Bad debts may be deducted from gross lncoiqe In computing net income only for the year in which they are ascertained to be worthless and charged off the books of the taxpayer. The .necessity for this provision of the law Is obvious. If a bad debt were allowed as a deduction without requirement that it be charged off the books, the certainty of its worthlessness would be left open to question. If a bad debt were allowed as a deduction In the year in which charged off without regard to when it was ascertained to be worthless, such charges could be unduly accumulated. The taxpayer should attach to his return a statement showing the propriety of any deduction claimed for a bad debt. Where the surrounding circumstances show that a debt Is worthless and uncollectible and that legal action, in all probability, would not avail, prqbf of these facts Is sufficient evidence of its worthlessness. The difference between the . face valu® of a note and the amount received in compromise Is an allowable deduction, provided the debtor has no assets out of which the entire amount may be collected by suit. However, where the debt is compromised, the debtor having assets out of which the entire amount could have been collected through legal action, the difference between the amount recevied in compromise and the amount claimed, whether admitted or disputed, is not an allowable deduction as a bad debt. Unpaid loans made to needy relatives with little or no expectation of their return are not deductible, but are regarded as gifts. Where* si creditor continues tc/extend credit to a debtor, a debt may not be charged off as worthless. If a debt Is l’orgiven it can not be. claimed, as it la then regarded m a gift, which is not an allowable deduction. A valid debt proved to be worthless Is not. always a proper deduction. For example, unpaid amounts representing wages, salaries, rentals, or similar Items of taxable Income are not allowed as deductions unless included in the creditor’s return for the year in which such deduction is sought or In a previous year. The fact that expected income was not received does not disease the amount of taxable i V*,

Congress on the action of a majority. We should pass from depression to a destructive Intermittent fever, and it would as sure as fate ultimately end In colllapse. No program will be adopted by this Administration to rid the farmers of such leeches on his prosperity as the present criminal freight structure, unless I am greatly mistaken. Therefore we should make the most we can of the Hoover program of Government-fostered cooperation. This Is a program which promises to be based on correct principles. Cooperation through the voluntary action of the fanners will represent solid and probably permanent progress. If we have not the sense to cooperate, that is our bwn fault. With a governmental agency actively seeking to bring our minds together In cooperative action the mar-

sion here evidence which they regard as even more damaging to Fall and Sinclair than that upon whioh the original oil indictments were secured. Months ago, upon presentation of evidence obtained by the Senate Investigating committee, Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior; Harry Sinclair, E. L. Doheny and E. L. Doheny Jr. were indicted. Subsequently, • thu Government lawyers picked up the trail of what now promises to be one of the most startling stories of “inside finance” ever spread upon court records. To date only that part of this story that concerns the erstwhile Continental Trading Company of Canada has been made public. This company, described by the Canadian court as a “dummy,” was set up by the presidents of three great American oil companies, the Sinclair Consolidated, the Prairie Oil and Gas, and the Midwest Oil Company. The “dummy” company was given such favorable contracts by the three presidents that it seemed assured of an $8,000,000 profit for performing no service whatever. The dummy was hastily abandoned when it had collected only some $2,000,000 of these easy profits. Part of the $2,000,000, in the form of Liberty bonds, has been traced to the personal strong box of exSecretary Fall. What became of the remainder is still officially a secret. Os the three presidents, only Sinclair still has his job. The Prairie Oil and Gas and the l£idwest Oii Company, however, are two Standard Oil companies, and their respective president, James O’Neil and H. M. Blackmer, have resigned. Both are now residing in France. Though the present officers of the Prairie Oil and the Midwest Oil companies are not thought to have had any part In the Continental company’s history, a number of them have been summoned to appear as witnesses in the Government’s suit to recover Teapot Dome, which is set for hearing in Cheyewe, Wyo., March 16.

Wealth By HAL COCHRAN You kin talk about .riches, in money and such, and wish that you had lots of dough, but shucks, after all, does it really mean much, Is the thing that I’m achin’ to know. There may be a clink in your jeans every day and. no doubt, that is pleasing to you. It helps one to happiness, likely you’ll say, and I’ll have to admit that that’s true. But, listen, old topper, the coin that you own and can spend with the,wink of an eye, is redly quite weak when considered alone ’cause there’s something it never can buy. The real road to happiness lies in your friends, and not in the jingle of Jack. It's friendship 6n which every fellow depends when he wants to hold loneliness back. You can make heaps of dough as the days come and go; you may have all that money can buy. But your life's not complete lest, with people you meet, you’re the friendahipy type of a guy.

keting problem is up to us as farmers. It will be a test of our intelligence, and 1/ we fall It will be because we deserve to fall—assuming that the Government really does what the Hoover plan calls for. Under present conditions It is about all the Government can do—and it should do a great deal. It should do much more than some of its proponents may imagine. For once the farmers of this country become associated in great cooperative movements, once they taste success in this economic field, once they have had the education which!comes from such a work as the building up from the bottom of working marketing organizations, they will have gained the power which comes of intelligence. Our farm organizations in the past have done little because they knew little. f:. - - h
