4 Senatorial Humor 3ENATOR SHIPSTEAD, by way of having a little fun and at the same time *Binting a moral, has introduced a bill which ■eats the farming industry exactly as the Hsch-Cummins law treats the railroad inIcjustry. In fact, he has taken the latter act and limply substituted the word “farming” for ■pe word “railroad” throughout. Pr When asked about it, he takes pleasure in Admitting that it is unsound economically. That, he says, is because the Esch-Cummins law unsound economically. • His bill would fix prices for farm products in just the manner that rates are fixed for the riailroads—a definite return on the valuation of the farm. Shipstead ought to get a good speech out of his bill, anyhow. He can say that the ■valuation of a farm is easily ascertainable from the county tax records. Prices then won’t "be too high because the farmers don’t make their tax -returns any higher than they have to. The lower the farmer makes his tax return, the less return he’d get on his crops, binder this plan. The higher the price for potatoes, asked by the farmer, the higher the taxes he’d have to pay. It really sounds a whole lot sounder than the EsA-Cummins act, as you study it. For, af|er years and years of expensive investigation, a fair valuation-—to say nothing of the real value —of the railroads has not been found yet Highways and Politics EOR the most part, we agree with the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation in its Statement concerning the State highway commission. Certainly the highway CQmmission should not be controlled by any political group and if a movement to bring about such control is in progress, the citizens of Indiana should see that it does not succeed. The federation says the movement to control the commission was brought about by D. C. Stephenson. Os that we know nothing. If it is true, it is mighty serious. No one now wants the affairs of any State department controlled by Stephen,gon. It is unfortunate that this feeling did not always exist. | The Farm Bureau Federation points out Ithat various charges have been made against Isome of the highway department, particularly against John Williams and Earl Crawford. It points out that these charges have not been proved. That is true. They have not been proved. Neither has it been shown that the State board of accounts and the Marion County grand jury were wrong when they made the charges. No opportunity has been given for anybody to prove anything. We sincerely hope that the charges against the highway department, cannot be substantiated. We hope that there is an adequate explanation of the action of the commission in obtaining and selling without competitive bids thousands of dollars’ worth,of abandoned war jMateri-ftL **We would like to hjfcar the explana-

tion. The commission has not been given an opportuAity to make its explanation in court. On the other hand, charges have repeatedly been made that a political conspiracy against the highway department exists.. These charges have no more b<?en proved than have the charges against the highway department. Certainly The Times in all that it has said has had no political motive. We have simply insisted and we expect to continue to insist that the charges made against the highway department either be proved or dropped. As long as they are neither proved nor dropped, tne State of Indiana is in thq position of employing men, who are under indictment charged with commission of a felony, to handle millions of dollars of its funds, and the men themselves certainly are not in a comfortable position with indictments hanging over their heads. The Indiana Farm Bureau Federation stated our viewpoint exactly when it said: “The charges against Crawford and Williams have never been proved. They ought to be proved or declared false immediately in justice to the men and in justice to the people of Indiana.” The statement,further says: “The Farm Bureau will be the first to denounce these men if serious charges are proved against them.” We will go even further than that and say that The Times will be the first to rejoice if a fair trial shows there is no basis for the charges. All we ask and all that the citizens of Indiana have a right to ask is that this highway controversy be cleared up as speedily as possible.

A. D. 1925 SHE year 1925 in America was as filled with interesting events as there were days in the calendar. Calvin Coolidge was inaugurated President of the United States. Four great Americans died: Robert M. La Follette, William Jennings Bryan, Samuel Gompers, Thomas R. Marshall. The giant dirigible Shenandoah collapsed with great loss of life. A Navy squadron failed in a brave attempt to fly to Hawaii. Col. William Mitchell was court-martialed for insubordination. Secretary of State Kellogg enforced new and un-American regulations against the visit of distinguished foreigners to this country and gave the world an unnecessary scare concerning Mexico. McMillan attempted to explore the polar regions by airplane. A tornado devastated the lower Ohio Valley. A crime wave swept the cities and caused eminent citizens'to join anticrime organizations. Florida real estaters ran amuck. Dempsey signed to fight Wills at a distant date and Pittsburgh took the world’s championship away from Washington. Bob La Follette, Jr., was elected to succeed his father and Jimmy Walker was appointed mayor by A1 Smith. John W. Weeks resigned as Secretary of War. A baby was born to Alice Longwortb. Red Grange left school to make his fortune. Senator Burton K. Wheeler was acquitted in ten minutes of charges on which the Justice Department had worked a year. Then the charges brought against him in Washington were quashed. Wayne B. Wheeler publicly thanked God on Thanksgiving day for “prosperity under prohibition.” The coast guard went to war on the rum fleet; sqme of the rum-runners lost their booze and some of the coast guard their reputations. Prices remained stationary. All these were interesting and some were important, but the one outstanding event remains to be mentioned: A young teacher named Scopes was put on trial at Dayton, Tenn., for violating a State law against teaching the theory of evolution. Nothing much happened to the young man and the statute still remains on Tennessee’s books, but the trial and the discussion it evoked throughout America, it seems to us, formed the outstanding occurrence of the year 1925. The trial didn’t prove that the theory of evolution is correct, nor did it establish the Book of Genesis as the one accurate account of mundane beginnings. It didn’t even reconcile, in all minds, these twq stories of creation. But it did do this; It sounded an alarm that awoke millions of Americans to the dangerous tendency of the times. It revealed the degree to which bigotry and -intolerance were fastening themselves on our nhtional institutions. It renewed the determination that the mind and the spirit of the people shall be kept free. It struck a needed blow for liberty of opinion and conscience. True, the country court at Dayton found young John Scopes guilty, but there is reason to believe that its action v/as one of the last little triumphs of our American intolerants.

Text: “That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been.”—Ecc. 3:15. irjTCj ITH the passing of the old |\JD| year and the beginning of ■" ’ I the new, we naturally become concerned as to what the future holds In store for us. None of us can foresee with certainty the particular events that may take place In our lives during the year ahead. But there Is one thing we can be reasonably sure about, “that which li to l>e hath already been.” As you think of the future I would have you hope for the best. I would have you look forward to the future with hopeful promise and ambition. But at the same time I woud not lhave you shut your eyes to the probability that your future is going to be in many respects very much as your past has been. You are going to have other temptations, other difficulties, other sorrows, just as you have experienced in the past. The sad experiences of the past will likeJy be repeated in the future. But there is no occasion for uneasiness in the contemplation of this probability. Recalling these sad experiences, you will recall also how precious was God’s presence and help In the midst of them.

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON

BARRING FROM CITIZENSHIP ■=TYC. MINTON, legal advisor of the Thirteenth prohlbition district, says steps will be taken to bar the dozen aliens, arrested In Tuesday’s spectacular liquor raid In Indianapolis, from United States citizenship. Tne dozen have taken out first papers only. That may be a stem penalty to inflict on booze law violators. But It's about as effective in drying up the illicit liquor traffic as a shake of the finger. There is no provision in the law whereby alien bootleggers and blind tiger operators can be deported and kept out of the country because of anti-prohibition activities. So barring them citizenship is at most a sensational gesture that doesn’t interfere with their business. There is much beer running, mule making, and booze peddling done by aliens, who care nothing about the Federal Constitution or the law of the land. Probably something ought to be done about It. However America wouldn’t be made dry if every law-breaking alien was shot at sunrise. Most of the alcoholic thirst in the country is American boro —strictly a native product. The chief prohibition problem is that thirst, not by whom or how it Is gratiffed. CHOOSE A SHREWD GREAT-GRANDAD I 'TNITA OSER, a tiny Swiss A. I occupying much of l£_3 the attention of Federal Court In Indianapolis this week. There her grandparents, H. F. McCormick and Edith Rockefeller McCormick, battle for control of an $8,000,000 trust fund that will go to the little girl. The trust fund Is Invested In shares of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana—and was created by John D. Rockefeller, Anita’s great grandfather. Anita has never lived in the United States —may never enter the Hoosier State. She hasn’t done and probably will not do, os much for the prosperity and upbuilding of Indiana as any tattered newsboy on a downtown corner In Indianapolis. She isn’t a producer —hasn't added a nickel to our real wealth. Yet this foreign maid—daughter of a Swiss riding master—will some <Thy own a large slice of one of the greatest Hobsler Industrial enterprises. Every flivver that barks on Hoosier higriways will pay her something for the privilege. AH because Anita has a shrewd and acquisitive great-grandfather. There’s fuel to kindle Socialists Into a blaze. It’s fine to be self-made—to acquire a fortune and fight your way to the top by sheer ability and hard work. But one of the pleasantest ways to get on easy Street Is to be careful In choosing your great-granddad.

TO OPEN OR NOT TO OPEN PJLANS of the board of works for opening Cruse St. from Washington south have aroused opposition of south side property owners. A temporary restraining order has been secured tying up the program. Which writes another chapter in the' thrilling serial of Indianapolis track elevation. To open or not to open. Aye, there’s the rub. For more than a year the ?roject of elevating the railroad tracks between Davidson and State Sts. has teetered/on its toes almost ready to dash ahead. But still the dispute as to what streets shall be open land closed by the improvement goes on. When industrial and commercial Interests sought the closing of Oriental St. citizens in the southeastern section of the city fought vigorously to keep the thoroughfare open—and won. Now they object just as vigorously to the-openlng of Cruse St., in accordance with the board’s plan. Instead they propose that Shelby St. be oontinued through to Washington. Another prolonged battle in prospect. No doubt for the futurto development of the southeastern part of the city that section should have as many traffic outlets as possible across the tracks to Washington St. But itjp too late to attain the

What He was to you In the past, He will be to you In the future. "That which Is to be hath already been,” may be Interpreted to Include this assurance as well as the probable repetition of our post troubles and sorrows. “I am the Lord, I change not.” This assurance of God’s unchangeableness should give us abiding confidence. I know what He was to me yesterday, I khow what He is to> me today, and I know what He will be to me tomorrow. I have found Him always the same. This has been the testimony of those who have trusted Him In all ages. Surely our confidence In Him Is not misplaced. Every remembrance of what He has been to us In the yesterdays of our past, ought to confirm our faith In Him as to what He will be to us in the tomorrow of our future. As you begin the new year, facing gain the same old temptations, trials and sorrows. Just remember that time* In your experience when God was near, most tender, most sweet, most soul-sufficing, and be sure that He stands beside you ready to renew that blessing in all its fullness whenever you have the same need. (Copyright, 1025, by John R. Gunn.)

ideal in that respect. The tracks are already there. To open every north and south street traversed by them would Involve prohibitive expense. The best that can be done Is a compromise providing for the opening of some streets and the closing of others. White the opposition hauls the program this way and that all the streets will remain closed indefinitely and the whole elevation project will sit on Its haunches. They can’t eat their cake and have it too.

WHERE WERE THE INSPECTORS? E'-’—IXAMINERS for the State board of accounts report i___l that pavement on Eugene St., between Northwestern Ave. and the canal, Is not up to specifl- ‘ cations. Twenty-three test cores taken from the street by them showed an average thickness of 6.5 inches of concrete, instead of the 8 inches specified. The report gives property owners on the street, who are resisting payment for the improvement, additional ammunition. Os course, paving should comply with the plans and specifications. Such standards are drawn to insure the quality and durability of the work, not to give the city engineer and his office force training in English composition. The time to make sure pavement Is of proper width, thickness and quality is while the work is In progress, not after It is laid and ■hardened. Once down, It Is more or less permanent. It can’t be erased and done over like a chalk mark on a blackboard. To prevent contractors from skimping their work and to Insure the taxpayer a dollar’s worth of pavement for a dollar, the city of Indianapolis employs Inspectors to watch paving Jobs and compel exact adherence to the specifications. Contractors are often honest, hut the city has learned by experience that paving Jobs will bear watching. Where were the inspectors while the Eugene St. pavement was being laid? Were they on the Job as well as on the pay roll, or were they Just posed as part of the municipal scenery? The pavement is not up to specifications. How come?

In justice to the district policemen, prohibition agents without uniforms, unknown to the liquor sellers, find It easier to buy booze than, the man in uniform who passes several times a day.

Who’ll Pay the Taxes?

Editor’s Note: This is the fourth of six articiles by one of The Times Washing-ton. oonv*pondentß. designed to take the new federal tax bill apart and show what it contains. The bill has passed the Hoiwe and la now before the Senate. By Boscoe B. Fleming Dec. 31.—Analy|Yjy| sis of the House tax reduction U_U bill, which will be taken up soon by the Senate, has shown that the bill Is immensely favorable to the larger incomes and fortunes, and does little for the small taxpayer. Just as significant as the figures, however, is the struggle between opposing theories of taxation, and the victory of one of them. One theory, held generally by progressive students of taxation, Is that taxes should be graded according to ability to pay them, and should be imposed directly, giving the taxpayer a direct interest and stake in his government. The Income taxes and Inheritance taxes are good examples. Persons who believe thus hold that sales taxes and indirect flat taxes in general are to be used only in an emergency, such as war. Holders of this theory fought in the House for removal of all war taxes before in-

come and inheritance taxes were lowered. They were defeated. They argued that the action of the bill in cutting off from direct income taxation some 2,300,000 persons was a mistake, because if direct taxes are imposed, all citizens should pay something, no matter how little, to their government. The opposing theory, which seemed to be held by Administration leaders who framed the tax bill, favors the sales tax or other taxes which would bear more or less flatly on all alike, but which the taxpayer would not realize he was paying. It is Interesting In this light to review the cuts in income and inheritance taxes given by the House bill, compared with those in war and sales taxes. The bill will eventually reduce Government revenues about $335,000,000. The figure of $325,000,000, which was generally used, Is the loss in next year’s revenue alone. Inheritance tax cuts, estimated ultimately to be at least $55,000,000, and gift tax cuts, estimated at $7,000,000, will become effective later. Setting the figure at $385,000,000, the cuts can be divided as follows: Loss in Income, super and Inheritance taxes, which, as has been khown, relieve the very rich more than any other class —$263,575,000. Loss in indirect and “sales” taxes and war taxes —$132,261,000. And these latter Include the repeals of the taxes on Jewelry, works of art and yachts, which relieve only the wealthy. Cordell Hull of Tennessee also points out that the Fordney tariff tax of $2,600,000,000, which he says bears more heavily on the poor than on the rich, is absolutely unchanged. He argued effectively against the ex emption of 2,300,000 taxpayers during debate on the bill, as follows: "All disinterested economic writers who are friends of graduated income taxation favor the theory that exemption should be at a point near the minimum of subsistence. ‘Many persons seem to imagine that the Federal income tax is the only tax in existence, and that their removal from the roll leaves them free of all taxation. This, of course, Is hopelessly erroneous. “A scientific, logical Income tax structure always includes some of those with relatively small Incomes, but only at nominal rates. It la dangerous to the permanency of the system to offer excessive exemptions. “Our present law exempts oyer 110.000,000 from the tax. Is it not folly, therefore, to divide In half the small remainder?” Hull argued that all war taxes ought to he removed. Including that on autos, before income taxes were lowered materially. He argued for a super tax and inheritance tax rate of at least 25 per cent. But the bipartisan steam roller rode over him.

Should Married Women Flirt? By Mrs. Walter Ferguson < |.w i|HY,” asks a concerned young \)H husband, "do so many mar_LU ried women these days oarry on clandestine flirtations with other men?" Largely, we would Imagine, because their husbands won’t flirt with them. One thing which we are too inclined to overlook in our estimate of tho changes wrought by the Jazz age i the radical transformation In the status of the married woman. Her horizon has widened perhaps more than that of any other Individual. It is no longer possible for a man to marry a woman, Incase her within his four walls and then step In to see her only when the notion strikes him. The twentieth cen tury wife simply does not “stay put" any more, and the quicker the men find this out the efwler will be their job and the lighter their even tual grief. Most of these eager young married women who stiff go about with that “come hither" look in their eyes, are merely fuff of the Joy of living. Many of them do not have enough to keep them busy: they have long hourß of leisure. Their imaginations are fuff grown and flourishing, and their love of attention anA romrnce Jupt as intense as it was before they became brides. The most of them start out their lives honestly wanting to do the right thing and to fulfill their marital obligations. But what the husbands of these women ton soon forget, alas, Is that their wives are still and will ever continue to be hungry for love. They have not forgotten the delights of being wooed Just because they are wed. They have, too, a constitutional horror of “setttllng down” Into commonplace matrimonial life, for this is the giant bugbear about which they have so often been warned. Ahd so what is more natural if the husband forgets to bestow loving little attentions upon them, than that they should accept them from other sources If they are offered? And many a poor Little girl wife gets scorched and scarred when she starts what Is at first her Innocent little game with Are, and many a man remembers too late that love Is “woman's whole existence." For the Ja/z ago Is quite as upsetting for husbands as It is fftf wives, you may be sure of that. What le sauce for the, gander Is sauce for the goose also in these enlightened days, and if it has be come necessary that we women watch and pray unceasingly to keep life’s romance, this labor does not. devolve exclusively upon us as many a husband has already found to his sorrow.
