WHO REDUCED YOUR INCOME TAXI you make out your check for your income tax—it |WJ time you did it, by the way—you are apt to feel a surge of gratitude in your bosom. The check isn’t as big as it was last viar, unless your income has greatly advanced. In r>me cases it is not more than a quarter o/f v he 1924 payment. To whom is this gratitude due 1 Well, you remember all the hullabaloo over the Melton tax plan. You remember the propaganda that flooded the country condemning Congress for its war against the Mellon plan. The basis for the opposition of Congress was tint the Mellon plan benefited the rich too much and the folks of moderate means too little. Most of the reduction proposed by Mellon was in the high surtaxes. Congress defeated the Mellon plan and enacted the measure under which the country is now operating. This, in spite of President Coolidge’s complete support of the Mellon plan. It is customary to cuss Congress, while at the same time giving the President credit for the good things that Congress does. Your taxes are down this year. Congress did it.

IXEFFICIENCY OR TYRANNY? fry )| HATE VER may be the fact as to whether Senator Couzens |Wj of Michigan owes the Government $10,000,000 or any other amount in back income taxes, the Mellon method of attempting to collect it smells to heaven. The transaction occurred five years ago, when Couzens sold his stock in the Ford Company to Henry Ford for upwards of $25,000,000. He paid an income tax which was satisfactory to the Treasury Department. Two years later the transaction vas reviewed by the Treasury Department and closed. That was before Senator Couzens began his fight in the Senate to have the Treasury Department under Mellon investigated. Every possible political and personal pressure has been brought to bear on Senatcr Couzens to induce him to abandon his investigation of Mellon and the Treasury Department, particularly the income tax division. Senator Couzens has insisted in going ahead. Now, within a few days of the time the Treasury Department will be stopped by the statute of limitations from reopening Senator Couzens’ 1919 income tax return, he has been told by Mellon through Commissioner of Internal Revenue Blair that if he does not sign a waiver of his rights under the statute of limitations $10,000,000 will be added to his debt to the Government on account of his 1919 return. This newspaper holds no brief for Senator Couzens. If he , owes the Government $10,000,000 or $lO on account of back income tax he should pay it. But the natural inquiry is, why it has taken the Treasury Department five years to find it out. And it also may be asked, whether it would have been found out at all if Senator Conzens were not pressing his investigation of the Treasury Department. What can be paid of the efficiency of a Treasury Department which permits a man worth $50,000,000 to owe the Government $10,000,000 for five years without making an attempt to collect it t Senator Couzens says that he intends to pursue his investigation of the Treasury Department more vigorously than ever, 11| Rl* to be hoped that he does. If there were any doubt before that such an investigation is necessary in the public interest, the Mellon action in the Ciuzens case removes that doubt. * Incidentally it may be remembered that the Department of Justtoe did not discover that Senator Wheeler had been a lawreafcer, several years ago, until he became active as head of the committee investigating Attorney General Daugherty. Surely one is justified in asking are tnese two great departments of the Government as inefficient as they seem or have we entered (in age of political and official tyranny f

A Pulitzer Prize-Winning Play Is Not Food for the Few but for the Many

Ayrea’ play library is a wonderful asset to Indianapolis There Is enough drama crowded into the three acts of “Hell Bent” for three plays of the average type. To me it is a dramatic sensation and I am urging you in advance not to miss it. The cast looks more than satisfactory as John F. Hamilton will be seen as Rufe Pryor, the man who Is actually “Hell-Bent fer Heaven.” Hamilton will have his original role when the play opens tonight at the Murat. The piay gets its name from a strange character, Rufe, who is so ■full of religion, the wrong type, that he Is ready to kill in order to give the Lord a free hand as long as the Lord is on Ruses side. Rufe has a crazy Idea of religion. It Is all rolled up In the thought that religion and the heavens were made for Rufe. What Rufe wants Is God’s plan, so Rufe thinks. A Weakling Rufe is a religious weakling. He quotes the scriptures and holds communion with the divine authority. Rufe it so sure that it is God s plan that he marry Jude Lowry that he sets out in a “Christian'' way to remove his rival. Sid Hunt to the happy hunting ground. Rufe does It by a series of lies im-

THURSDAY The Foundation of Faith Read Lk. 7:18-23. Text: 7:22. Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard. MEDITATION—Christ did not impose an undue test on his dlacdples when he asked them to believe on him. His miracles appealed to their eyes; hi* truth to their minds; his personality to their hearts, how could they do otherwise than believe in him and how can any one resist him? If we pUt our faith to work we shall come to know him as our personal Lord and Saviour. To every man there openeth A way, and ways and a way. Ard the high soul climbs the High wgy And the low soul gropes the low; And In between, on the mighty flats. The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A high way and a low, And every man deddeth The way his soul shall go. PRAYER—O Lord our God, give use a desire for knowledge of thee that we may draw all men to thee. We pray that thou wouldst knit our lives into thine with hohnr and stronger bonds. Deliver us O Lord from whatever would separate us from thee. Amen. (Copyright. 1925—-F. 1* Fsgrlsy)

Frank Farley, a mountain type, will play the role of Andy Lowry at the Murat. Rufe is always calling on the Lord for help and Rufe gets the brand his false religion breeds. Rufe is a weakling but he is pathet’e. , Natural Background. \ The scene takes place in the mountain home of Mat Hunt, and there you meet the real mountain characters. Against Rufe’s liaise shoutin’ religion, you find God’s religion expressed in the thought and actions of the quaint mountain folk. This play Is not mere words but action upon action follows action. It is nearly actor proof. The false religion of Rufe fans a feud into exlstance and in the end Rufe finds that his Lord was not the real Lord but a private picture of a false Gc.l. Here Is a great theme. I believe that everyone who has read “HellBent” will go to the Murat while it is here.

great calamity. Public response to the call for relief for families of Its victims was Immediate and magnificent. The Red Cross has received over 160,000 for the purpose. The public conscience was aroused. Investigations and recommendations to prevent recurrence of such wholesale tragedy Were made. It was realized that the disaster with its aftermath of distress Is too high a price for coal. Yet, though this calamity Is shocking, It is but part of the price of coal. In the past week five Indiana miners were killed In generally unnoticed accidents underground -—leaving distressed families. Thus steadily, week after week, mines claim their victims. In proportion to numbers employed, four times a3 many die In coal mining accidents In this country as in England. Until American mines adopt all possible safety measures to stop this needless, everyday waste of life, the price of coal here is too high. TRACTION TINES FIGHT BACK SHE Indianapolis A Cincinnati Traction Company announced yesterday a reduction in round trip fares. The' cut will be approximately one-third of the existing rates. Other traction lines contemplate similar action. A couple of weeks ago Sunday excursion rates again appeared on some lines after an absence so prolonged that most people had forgotten the halcyon period when they could ride all day for a dollar. Apparently the interurbans are making a determined effort to win back the elusive customers who once fattened their coffers. Bus competition has made serious inroads on the electric railway traffic. Traction officials have figuratively wrung their hands and sobbed passionately over the tragic fate of their business. But they have found that loud expressions of grief* don’t relieve the situation. Survival of the fittest must operate In the transportation field — as elsewhere in nature. Traction lines, while they have served a useful purpose, are perhaps doomed to perish by the inexorable logic of events. Perhaps not. Aggressive competition will ultimately determine. The transportation agency that gives the best service at the lowest rates stands the best chance of survival. In the war between bus and traction the public will benefit for It is interested In the survival of neither bus nor traction but In transportation and its cost.

CITY POLITICS A PROFESSION i NE of the candidate a for 111 1 the nomination for mayor 1 I withdrew from the race on Tuesday. Os course that doesn’t hamstring the race. Enough aspirants still remain in the field to kick up considerable dust. In announcing his withdrawal he said: ’’Politics has become a highly expert profession In Indianapolis. To be successful In city politics one must work at it all the time.” In that observation there is food for thought fbr serious-mind-ed private citizens who are no*, interested in the struggle for power between partisan machines, but in good government. It is commonly asserted every Hoosler Is born with politics in his blood, that to him It Is an exhilarating, fascinating game. Certainly the State has produced some adroit, ambidextrous politicians. But to most citizens interest in politics, particularly municipal, is Intermittent, They dabble in It for a side-line, not as a primary vocation or means of livelihood. How far from a game or parttime avocation is politics l in this city? The bosses, vice-bosses, anil heelers feren’t playing a game; they are working at their year-around business —not for excitement or health, but for livelihood. When professionals are employed—whether to teach golf or extract teeth—they must be paid for their services. Professional city politicians likewise expect to be paid. WTio pays?

grounds committee to the Indianapolis school board Tuesday night. • To carry out that construction would cost $2,257,000 —while there is only $371,000 available. Consequently the program was slashed to one new building and addition of sixteen rooms—one-sevVnth of the minimum requirements—to cost $410,000. There are 127 classes meeting in 111-lighted basements and cottages. Yet the building program adopted won’t even make a dent In that deplorable situation. At the same meeting report of the repairs and alterations necessary to modernize existing buildings was made. The recommendations Included proper lighting, ventilation, inside sanitary toilets, elimination of fire hazards and other improvements for the children’s health and safety. The maintenance proposals outlined would necessitate the expenditure of $750,000. For the work there is In the treasury a deficit of $63,000. The school board has a knottier problem than a cross-word puzzle to solve. Likewise taxpayers. Either Indianaoplis has too much school or not enough school funds. The condition Is acute. If building and maintenance programs Instead of overtaking actual needs continue to slip deeper in the mir® taxpayers will eventually be torn limb from limb In extricating them.

In New York By JAMES W. DEAN NEW YORK, March 12.—The lure of the stage gets almost all of the young fellows who come to Broadway. There’s Heywood Broun, the columnist and critic. He appeared as a monologist In a revue and is now considering going into vaudeville. S. Jay Kaufman, another columnist, is doing a turn in vaudeville. And Irvin Cobb has Just written his first vaudeville sketch after pondering over the matter for many years. Eugene Brewster, magazine publisher, wears the biggest rings In New York, I believe. I saw him the other evening in the theater with Miss Corliss Palmer, an Atlanta cigar counter girl who became nationally famous through a beauty contest conducted by Brewster. On the little finger of his right hand Brewster wore a gold ring of an oriental filigree design about an Inch square. On the third finger of his left hand he wore an oval ring holding an opaque stone which was about three Inches long. Brewster Is a colorful character. The four walls of his office are almost completely covered with oil paintings, most of which were painted by Brewster. He worked many months In an attempt to evolve anew odor for perfume. He lives in a white mansion In Jersey surrounded by great gardens. Miss Palmer and her mother live there, also.

New Half Cent Postage Stamp May Be Printed. Time WanMnaton Bunn*, i Sti New York Avenu *. CITT| ASHING TON, March 12. |\ly I We’re going to have to get | j acquainted with some new postage stamps a few weeks from now. On April 15, provisions of the new postal bill become effective, and the high cost of mailing things becomes even higher. Anew I^4-cent stamp Is now being prepared by the Post Office department, bearing the same picture of Warren G. Harding that was used for the memorial 2-cent Issue, and printed in light brown. These new stamps will be used on thlrdcllass matter, all books, circulars and merchandise weighing less than eight ounces. Possibly a half-cent stamp will be printed also, In order to meet the problem of fractions this new lucent rate thrusts on the public. This has not yet been decided. Special Delivery Changed Two new special delivery stamps will be printed. Up to the preeent time a 10-cent special delivery stamp on either letter or package would insure rapid handling. Under the new 1&/V7, 10 cents will pay for special delivery of a letter, but It will take 15 cents for quick work on a package weighing from two to ten pounds, and 20 cent* for all heavier package*. The 15<nmt stamp will have the same design as that of the 10-cent stamp but will be printed In canary yellow. The 20-cent stamp will have the picture of a motor van backed up to the Washington city post office. A fourth innovation is the 25-oen/t "special handling** stampL The stamp will be used on parcel post mall where the mailer desire* to have his package given the same quick handling and transportation as first class mall. This la an erv tlrely new plan In the postal service, and officials are unable to estimate Just how much time the 85 cent* will save mailers. The stamp for this will be plain blue, with the words “Special Handling** and the figure 25 on It. After April 15, the cost of send* ing a two-pound parcel post package from Washington to San Francisco, for instance, as rapidly as possible will Increase from 34 to 66 cents. Zone rates remain the same, and on the two-pound package the rate is 24 cents. Under present laws, a 10-cent special delivery stamp is the only additional oharge. But after April 15, the special delivery stamp for a package of that weight will cost 15 cents, a service ’ charge of 2 cents Is added, and If special handling is desired, that 25-eent charge brings the total to 66 cents. Service Charge Added The new regulations provide for the 2-cent service charge on all parcel post packages regardless of zone. These new charges are added to those already named: Post cards will cost 2 cents each Instead of 1 cent, and this means that the 1-cent stamp will practically go out of circulation. All merchandise weighing more than eight ounces must go as fourthclass mall and pay zone rates. Formerly the minimum was four pounds. Money order rates have been revised so that smaller orders cost 2 cents more, but the maximum fee for a SIOO monAy order will be only 22 cents instead of 30 cents.
