As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.—Prov. 25:12. Make uot my ear a. stranger to thy thoughts.—Addison. H*VESTIGATIONS TTIVEN the usually the lAst to respond to publio ill needs, is becoming disgusted with government/ of the State by boards and commissiolis. These boards anc commissions have been having things their own way for yeaxS. Now the Legislature proposes to find out just how far they have gone. It has been suggested at various sessions of the Assembly that this be done, but it seems that the awakening h. p just arrived. The invesigation centers on the highway department, and the public service commission. The former handles millions upon millions of State money ever year. The latter raises our gas, electric, water and street car rates. Both are important in the eyes of the taxpayer because they are responsible for a part of the fiatening of his purse. The trouble with affairs at the Statehouse is not so much with the idea of a highway commission and of a public service commission—for both are highly necessary and important—as with the operation of these two bodies. Highway commission operation has been questioned repeatedly. Serious questions arose when the commission obtained thousands of dollars worth of war material from the Government—material that could not possibly be used in highway conitruction—ana sold it without competitive bids. There have been numerous attempts at investigation, but in every instance powerful foroes have moved to block inquiry. Right now, however, the Legislature intends to go into highway commission affairs, at least to some extent, and the Marion County grand jury has been making some inquiries. Perhaps Ihe public will soon know all the details. No one should be more pleased than the taxpayer if everything is found to be regular. As to the public service commission, it is just naturally unpopular. This is due largely to the fact that it frequently revises utility rates upward and seldom downward. A large part of the uproar over this commission has been caused by the fact that some $6-a-day legislator discovered that the commission had been paying an “expert” $2,750 a month. No doubt he figured that at the rate of $6 a day it would take a legsilator 485 days, or more than fifteen months, Sundays and holidays included, to earn that amount. It would be interesting to know whether.the “old guard” or the “new guard” in the public.service oonunission is responsible for ihis slightly expensive “expert.**

IT’S NO “WHITE ELEPHANT” I m I ROB ABLY the most valuable square mile of property in IjT I the United Steles is not the square mile around Wall St., New i urV; nor the District in Chicago, butjjjfie ~Fqii'Kre~mTtg? upon which is power plant known ao'”Yusde~Shoals. Most faluable, that is, not in the dollars it will bring today,, but in the blessings it will bring to the country over a period of hundred years, or two hundred years, or five hundred. On this comparatively small spot on the map of the United States the Government has spent $140,000,000 of publio money. The dam and the power plants that money has built will produce something like 1,000,000 horse power of electrical energy at full capacity, and something over 100,000 at minimum pressure. The dam has been built so that the range of power can be varied according to peak and minimum demands. The peafk power capacity from that one plant is about onetenth of all the electrical power developed in the United Stats at one time today. The aggregate value of all these power plants, except Muscle Shoals, is about $5,800,000,000. One-tenth of that sum is $580,000,000, so that at $140,000,000 the Government and the public got a big bargain in Muscle Shoals. This is a good thing to keep in mind. People have unconsciously accepted the habit of certain uninformed Congressmen and publicists who speak of Muscle Shoals as a “white elephant.” Instead of being a “white elephant” it is about the best bit of property in this broad land. The reason most folks do not realize that is that the Muscle Shoals project unfortunately has become a political football. It has been kicked about in Congress until it has become discredited. Right now a conference committee of Congress is patching up a bill by which the President will be authorized to turn Muscle Shoals over to a private power company on a fifty-year lease, the rental for which may be nothing for the first half dozen years, and after that a stipulated sum per year for fortyfour years. Let s see to it that the President realizes he is leasing not white elephant/’ but the roost valuable square mile in the United States. Let him drive the bargain with the power companies on that basis.

Income Tax Partnerships as euch are not subject to the Income tix, but are required to make returns on Fbrrn 106 R, showing gross and net indorse. The net inoome of a partnership Is computed In the same manner and on the same basis as the net inoome of an Individual, except that deductions for contributions or gifts ai*e not permitted. Individual members are taxed on the distributive shares of a partnership, whether distributed or not, and are required to Include such shares in the Individual return of Income, though they may not have been actually received. Every partnership must make a return, regardless of the amount of Its net Inoome, or even If It has no net Inoome. The return must show the name and addres \ of each partner arid the amount of the distributive share of the net Income, if any, of each. Any one of the partners may sign and swear to the return, which may cover the calendar nr fiscal year, according tc the Arm's method of aooountlng. r Where the result of a partnership operation Is a 'net loss, the to}a is divisiblM by the taxpayer in the same proportion as net Income m have been divisible, and may

CONVENTION WILL DECIDE FATE OF PROGRESSIVE PARTY

Question of Continuing Movement to Be Decided in Chicago. Timet Wnthinaton Bureau IS2S New York Avmue. rrrjIASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—A YY7 convention In Chicago Saturday will decide the fate of the third party movement for the time being, at least. Called by the Conference for Progressive Political Action, the convention will include some delegates who want anew party now and some who do not. Which group will have the greater strength is uncertain, but there appears to he sufficient of those who think the right time to launch a progressive party is right now, to make sure it will be done. That is, even if the convention majority should be against the proposal, those favoring it may proceed on their own to Initiate the organization. Saturday’s meeting was called by the executive council of the C. P. P. A., In accordance with instructions of the Cleveland C. P. P. A. convention which launched the Independent candidacy of La Follette and Wheeler/ This course of action resulted largely from the wishes of. Senator La Follette. He sided with those In the Cleveland convention—apparently a minority then—who were averse to organizing a political party at that time. At his suggestion the convention agreed to await the outcome of the Independent ca mpalgn to see whether there were sufficient votes In the land to Justify anew party. • How Many Votes? So Saturday's debate is likely to revolve around the question of how many votes nu.ke a political party. Five million was the figure at which the leaders ajraed at the outset and that Is what they eventually got. But in the meantime occurred a period of several weeks during the campaign when nearly every leader was certain they would have twice that many to count on election day. The rapid change of sentiment just before the election left them finally only their original figure and their very natural feeling was one of deep disappointment. Some have recovered from this and again think 6,000,000 a nice round figure; others have not and do not. Among the dissatisfied ones must bq counted most of the labor leaders, Including those of the railroad brotherhoods. Some of them were Inclined to avoid participation In Saturday’s meeting, but they have -come to think better of this. They will meet In Chicago Friday to decide their own oourse In the,convent! on the next day. The brotherhood representatives Incline toward a resumption of the original C. P. P. A. program of maintaining a balance-of-power organization, supporting progressives in the old parties In State and congressional campaigns and putting Independent candidates In the field when neither of the old ! parties has a progressive candidate, r ]i ,*<{ *.r,' *v • ;?< v #■•**v***. ** Must Make Start The new party advocates feel that there never will be a Progressive party In this oountry until a beginning Is made. It is bound to be small at'the outset, they argue; It Is useless to expect It to be the majority party In Its first <years or even, perhaps, to be the second party numerically. But they think the organization must be formed if It Is ever expected to harvest the votes when the trend of the country Is toward progresslvlsm. Just what view Senator La Follette holds has not been revealed, but he is generally thought to favor the new party Idea. He will not attend the Chicago mooting, being now recuperating In Florida from Illness. His son, Robert M. La Follette Jr., will be present, however. The question of socialism is likely to enter into the discussion to a large extent. The national socialist leaders joined In the independent campaign last summer, while accepting the elimination of their -own political platform by the C. P. P. A. convention. Their belief was that La Follette’s candidacy held out greater Immediate hope for the masses of people than would the candidacy of any Socialist. Some objected that they were sacrificing their principles to expediency, but most of them went along cheerfully. Now they are faced with the demand of many in their ranks that they return to their own platform and resume their educational work, regardless of any progressive party. They are faced also with the fact that their presence in the movement is not welcome to some of the progressives. So three things may come out of the C. P. P. A. meeting: The restored C. P. P. A., the restored Socialist party and anew national progressive party.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA 1 By GAYLORD NELSON

One Way A ‘"“““I N ordinance to make Capitol Ave. and Meridian St. onev__J way thoroughfares during the rush hours is proposed. Two hours in the morning Meridian will be reserved for south-bound traffic and Capitol for north-bound —and viceversa In the afternoon. It Is expected this will sac tate movement in and out of the congested district—and will speed up traffic. Unquestionably one-way traffic moves faster, and many ci: iss have adopted th * s /heme Bfor some strtris. 1 1 may greatly sli/>prohlem in Indianapolis. But It would add another frill to the complex traffic rules. and regulations in this city.

They’re like a barnstorming actor doubling -In Uncle Tom and Little Eva. - Flat lo the curb parking rubs elbows with diagonal parking.

A similar measure, applicable to the whole State, previously introduced, still slumbers In committee. It Is estimated that such a law would add from one to two cents to the annual school tax levy In this city. The plan has been often advocated. In many places it has been tried —but has failed to confer such conspicuous benefits as to warrant universal adoption. Its economies are largely Imaginary.

Who was the father of Abraham Lincoln? Can you give me some Information concerning his early life? Thomas Lincoln was the father of Abraham. Ho was horn In Rockingham County, Virginia, of parents who were among the earliest emigrants to the new oountry beyond the mountains. He married Nancy Hanks June 12. 180(1. at the home of Richard Berry, the guardian of the bride. His early life was rather tragic, his father. Abfaham, having been killed by lurking Indians when Thomas was not quite 6 years old. He grew up without education, being principally oocupied as a farm and forest laborer. The first home of Thomas and his wife Nancy was in Elizabethtown, Ky. Later he took up farming at Nolin Creek, where the son Abraham was born. In 1817 they moved to Indiana, Tn 1818 Mrs. Lincoln died, and in 1819 he married again, this time a widow, Mrs. Sarah Johnson, with three children.

porters of the plan. It sounds plausible. But children, In order to attend school, must aiso be provided with clothing and food. If It Is good publio policy to provide free books, it Is equally logical to furnish all the pupils’ school necessities—including clothes, food and ice crearrf cones. On that road public bankruptcy yawns. A cent or two added to a single tax rate Isn’t much. But the aggregate oppresses the squirming taxpayer. Textbooks must be paid % for by someone. Why elect the taxpayer for the Job. He already has his hands full and his pockets empty. Power .~y I OHN LA FIELEO. of Newj I ca**Ue, has Invented a *■ 'li cheap power-producing device, whereby the weight of automobiles passing over a board In the road operates an air compressor which runs an air engine and generates electricity. A farmer by installing this contrivance In the highway could electrify the farm at little cost. Instead of cussing passing motorists he would welcome them—for they would be working for him. The scheme has Infinite possibilities. Footfalls of pedestrians might be harnessed. Hotels might equip lobby chairs with the device. The lobby hounds, wljo are now a total loss, could thus be made to nSn the elevators. It seems too much like a cousin of perpetual motion, the philosopher’s stone, and the fountain of youth, to be practical. However It emphasizes the ceaseless search for cheap power on which modern civilization Is built. When steam engines supplanted sweating men and dumb brutes modern industry was bom. In a century with mechanical power at his command man haa advanced farther materially than In the preceding five thousand years. Past civilizations were typified by the strong boys with beetling brow* and nervous battle-axes; the present by men with monkey wrenches and oil cans; the future, perhaps, by baldheaded scientists who capture the sunbeams and make them do man’s work. Janitors r—-IEROT. JACK O’NEAL of the I V I accident prevention bureau, I 1 urged upon the school board reoently that janitors be given police powers, and semaphores, to direct traffic at dangerous crossings near schools while pupils are passing. This seems an eaay solution —for everybody except the janitors— at a troublesome' problem:, - Heefllevs little-children and careless motorists have been responsible for serious accidents at school Intersections. Some effective method to safeguard the lives of the youpgsters should be adopted. A- child in school Is worth three In th 9 hospital. Traffic officers have been assigned to this duty by the police department. But there are only about fifty men available for this service and ninety schools. It is impracticable—anatomically—to divide fifty policemen among nlnoty schools, allotting a fragment to I each. Individual policemen so dlJ vided would lose effectiveness. In some schools older pupils have been designated to convoy the younger. But the atom of authority granted Juveniles Is easily abused. They don’t have to stretch their Imaginations far to think they are real traffic oops—and act accordingly. Clothing janitors in badges and authority would meet the needs of the situation. Versatility Is the Janitor’s middle name. He could probably handle a traffic semaphore with all the Insouciance of one to the manner born. In New York BY JAMES W.

There was Thomas Erdedoun, for Instance, and William Miller, and, most renowned of all. Mother Shipton. Mother Shlpton and the havoc she wrought ore vividly suggestiye of how a legend can grow, of how a prophet can' live, though proven false and of how a prediction can grip people, even after It has been exposed as a forgery. Whether Mother Shlpton ever lived, and there is room foif doubt on the point, she certainly made no prediction that the world would come to an end In 1881. That bit of weird forecasting was Interpolated In a reproduction of her life and works by one Charles Hindley, who confessed the fact. He confessed the fact, moreover, nine years before the tragedy was slated to occur, but still vast numbers of people refused to be dissuaded. In addition to this, there was the affair at Yeovil In Somerset, Which Mother Shlpton was alleged to have set down for destruction by flood and earthquake in 1879.

Then and Now!

Washington was cut off from the rest of the world by a severe bliazard. Weather Bureau records kept over twenty years show that no temperature higher than 87 degrees has been recorded on a fourth of Maroh, and frequently the temperature has gone as low as 24 i degrees. There Is a long record of tradition, but no real historic significance, behind the March fourth Inaugural. The framers of the Constitution decided that the first presidential eleotors should be chosen the first Wednesday In January and should vote for President on the first Wednesday In February, and that the man chosen President should be inaugurated on the first Wednesday In Maroh. This first Wednesday in March fell on March 4 In 1879, and later that date was written Into the Constitution and remained there when the method of selecting presidential electors was changed. But as a matter of fact, George Washington took his first oath as President on April 80 instead of March 4, thus robbing the date of its only claim to hlstorlo value. Transportation was so poor In those days that it took longer than the framers of the Constitution had an-

So sure were the residents of Yeovil that their village would be exterminated at the appointed time that hundreds of them abandoned It, while visitors gathered round from all parts of England to witness the disaster. Notwithstanding this positive proof of her failure as a seerees, and notwithstanding the confessed forgery referred to above, when 1881 rolled around It found thousands of English peasants ready for Immediate demolition of the earth and all things therein contained. They sought churches, or went forth Into the fields, on the eve of the fatal day. They ascended to the housetops, they gave away their property and composed themselves as best they could, each aooordlng to his spirit. And all this because of a forged prediction of a half-mythical creature who may never have existed, but. whose baneful Influence had been exaggerated by tradition, rumor and fancy until It came to darken the souls of multitudes more than 800 years after she was supposed to have died. As It the gift of prophecy on the part of a few, or hunger for prophecy on the part of many, that makes such things possible?

tlcipated to assemble the votes and notify Washington of hla election. Washington's second oath was taken March 4, 1793, and since then the date has been adhered to. It is old tradition, too, that the ceremony shall take place out of doors so that as many people as possible shall witness It, a concession to human curiosity. Just after the 1905 inaugural, when so many prominent men died oil pneumonia, there was widespread agitation for a change In the inaugural date. A committee of fortyone Governors was organized to work for an amendment to the Constitution. But this sentiment died away, due, apparently, to the fact that April 80, the new inaugural date chosen by the committee, would have lengthened the life of the “lame duck" Congress by two months. There has been some agitation for a change of date in practically every Congress since then. The present Congress has before it the Norris bill for eliminating the "lame duck” Congress entirely whioh provides that the new Congress be convened on the first day of January and the President and Vice President be Inaugurated on the third Monday In January. But this plan, In spite of Its many advantages, leaves official Washington standing out of doors with heads bared to the elements, Inviting phneumonla and tempting provldenoe, unless It shall be agreed that Presidents can be Just as efficient and far more healthful if Inaugurated inside somewhere. t Tom Sims Says London news today.
