KNOW YOTJR STATE INDIANA is one of the few States which countenances the practices of the so-called tax , ferrets.” a source of making assessment and tax levies from “sequestered taxables.” Contracts for such services are usually made at a cost to the taxpayers y of from one-fourth to onehalf of the taxes collected in this manner. As a result of alleged abuses of such contracts, a movement has been Instituted to make the employment of “tax ferrets” in Indiana illegal.

THE RIGHT WAY The formation of a citizens’ committee to investigate the facts underlying the street car strike should be welcomed by every citizen of Indianapolis. The fact that the men on strike welcome such a committee is not to be overlooker. It should suggest to the heads of the street car company that an attitude of refusal would do much to prejudice public opinion. This city wants and demands efficient service on its street car lines. The .-men who went upon strike gave that sort of service or they would not have been able to hold their jobs.\ The character of the work they perform is important. Upon their experience and fitness depends the safety of every man, woman and child who rides the cars and of every person who walks the streets. There is even more than the matter of mere safety. There is the question of courteous service and prompt service. No one wlio rides those cars desires to do so at the expense of men who may be underpaid and unable t'o live up to decent American standards. The men who give such service are certainly entitled to enough money to enable them to live decently and to ke%p thetr families in decency. That is the chief point of inquiry. For, after all, the thing which sent these 500 men on strike was a desire for more wages and a protest against the scale of 37 to 42 cents an hour. \ The one thing which caused them to band together was a demand for more money and better wages. - / The committee which has been formed is of a character which will command public confidence in any report it may make. The men upon it are outstanding citizens who will be trusted by not only all employes of the company but by the men and women who pay the bills and ride the cars. It is fortunate that such a group has been brought together to get the facts and to present them to the public. For the public, after all, settles all these Questions which deal with public utilities. That same public desires to be just and fair and decent. Now it will find out what must be done in order that they may be Just that. Let it be hoped that no arrogant or arbitrary attitude in any quarter will interfere with a full and complete inquiry into all the facts. Let reason, not the force of bolshevism or cossackism, dictate a just settlement.

IS THE SOUTH AWAKE? i Much is being said and written about, the preset boom timgs in tjie South. Herbert Hoover yesterday called it an economic renaissance. New 4nlustries are developing, villages are becoming towns, towns are becoming cities and cities are becoming ;reat. But, is the South really awake? We will not answer that question in the affirmative until we hear that some southern city, or town, jr private individual concern has taken advantage of i remarkable opportunity described in a dispatch today from our Washington'- bureau. Briefly, the Government is ready to sell a daily output of two million kilowatt hours of electricity -to anybody who will pay two-fifths of a cent a kilowatt hour for it. t This is an amazingly lower price. Los Angeles, famous for its cheap electricity, pays more than that. This price, of course, is Muscle Shoals. The niunicipality or manufacturer who buys it must protide his own poles and wire. The price is a bargain price, even then. Seattle, Tacoma and certain other enterprising western cities not only provide their |nvn long transmission lines, but have spent millions jbf dollars building gigantic power plants of ther hwn. They hafe found it pays. It will pay any little hr big city anywhere near Muscle Shoals. I ReddingSCal., a city of 5,000 people, buys its Electricity wholesale from a private corporation. The |ity pays a cent and a quarter per kilowatt hour -Qr the current and retails to the citizens at 8 centkT rhe 8-cent rate was fixed by the private company when it retailed electricity in Redding. In 1921 ?he city took over this retail business. By leaving ■lie rate unchanged, it has made a profit of $150,000 n less than five years. This money has gone into treet improvements, anew electric plant, fire equip;innt and other public developments. At the same yime the tax rate has been reduced from $1.45 to sl. i 1 Other western cities, buying their power whole- • .lie like Redding, have given the citizens the benefit v s very low rates, instead of maintaining the old ,ate and making a profit for the city’s use. If Muscle Shoals were located in California or Jlregon or Washington, where citizens haye seen 'iiese things happen and know what a boon cheap iwer is.’ there would be a dozen communities elamhring for the opportunity to buy this Muscle Shoals current at the cheap price fixed by 1 the Government. I What will the communities near Muscle Shoals Ji j with the opportunity? TAX CUTS AND TAXES | Who now is paying the taxes and who'is enjoying the prosperity of the country? ' The questions become interesting because the Treasury Department has released figures /showing "hat United States citizens paid $2,836,000,000 in federal to keep Uncle Sams business going luring the fiscal year ended last June 30, against 42,584,000,000 during the fiscal year 1925. This is an increase of $252,000,000, despite, the Administration’s “tax cut” of last year. The figures by States show that this, year, gen : srally speaking, prosperity is following industry and a neglecting agriculture. New York’s Federal t,pe&

increased $75,000,000; those of the Midwest industrial States, $60,000,000; of the more largely industrialized Southern States, $40,000,000. There were exceptions, however, to this general rule. Massachusetts and New England. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Eastern homes of American industry show slight increases or none at all. Industry is drifting West and South. As to what persons are paying the taxes, that is another question. The new law cut 2,300,000 persons from the tax rolls —those making $3,500 or less a year. It cut the income taxes of a few score wealthy persons and corporations virtually In half. It affected the entire last half of the 1926 fiscal year. Yet in income taxes alone the year as a whole showed a $211,000,000 gain over 1925. There are two or three possible answers, and the correct one probably is a combination of all. The man who makes from SIO,OOO to $50,000 had his taxes cut very slightly, in comparison to the extremely wealthy man. He probably paid as much or more this year as last. Then there were hundreds of large corporations which had been piling away their immense profits in surplus, instead of distributing them, thereby avoiding all taxes except the flat surplus tax of 12% per cent. Distribution of these surpluses doubtless followed the tax cut. And lastly, some persons made so much pioney this last year that in spite of the tax cuts they are actually paying more taxes. 4 re y° u one these?

THE CASE OF CROWLEY Elmer Crowley, experieftced and competent shipping man, is fired by the shipping board from his job as president of the United States fleet corporation. The only reason given is that he opposed the board’s sale of the Admiral and Oriental line boats to the Dollar Steamship Company. He did oppose these sales until he succeeded in raising the bid of the Dollar company from $600,000 to $1,000,000 per vessel. In a few days the board will advertise for sale the finest boats under the American flag, including the famous Leviathan. The board does net want as its agent a man who will insist on she Government getting all the money possible if the sale is made. This is not said in sarcasm. It is said as a fact. Every circumstance of the proceedings thus far proves it. The present Administration has been tryling for three years to get rid of the fleet for which so much of the people’s money was paid. The great fear of the Administration has been that this woul dnot be accomplished before it was discovered that the fleet could be made really profitable To the people. Crowley is jbow out because, under his management, it has become clearer and clearer that the wise thing 'for the Government to do is to hang on to its ships, not to sell them. .. The word came down from the summer White House in the New York woods that Crowley must go. The shipping board met and, without explanation, discharged Crowley. The man who took his place presented the board with his resignation as he did so. This was required of him. If he shows a disposition to obtain a fair price for the trans-Atlantic liners it is a fair prediction that this resignation will be. accepted instantly.

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON A certain woman is worried because the men •flirt with her. She says that she is harassed by their stares in elevators, in storey and upon street corners. Sh% finds life a trial because of the pursuing males. I don't know how you feel, but I always take complaints like this with a large grain of salt. I have known too many women who thought and hopaci that every man who glanced in their direction was falling in love with them, and too many men who believed themselves regular lady-killers, to get much flustered over this condition of mind. My observation lvait been that if you pay no attention to the men, they won't worry you very much. Haven’t you known men who fairly strutted through life over the fanoenklhat they were fascinating the fair sex, who in all their existence had never had a woman who really loved them, except their mothers? Such persons are filled with enorijnous self-con-sciousness. They go through the world interested in and think of no one but themselves. These persons of both sexes are pitiful examples of what the human mind can imagine. Women like this find it hard to go down the street without getting insulted. They can’t step outside their own front doors Avithout being martyred by the amorous glances of the violent male. They read a double meaning into every remark made to them by a< man. And how they do love all this. They count that day lost whose low descending sun sees no questionable masculine action directed at them. This street corner flirtation is one of the things that, seems quite fooljsh to worry about. For even if a man does wink his eye pertly at you, or throw marked glances at your silken legs, this is no reason why you should go off into floods of tears. Such things cannot injure you nor your reputation one little bit. However,' if you are the sort of woman at whom men seem to be forever; casting bold eyes, the thing to do, is 1 to take stock 'of yourself and find out in what manner of dress or behavior you are inviting such attentions. If your mind is clean no man can insult you.

Bnl I racy We Pay in Peace for Our Efficiency in. War Preparaidn,

By ML F>. Tracy. Wir has become a mechanical business, a business of stqred dynamite. a business of practice with gigantic engines, of borrowing on the cbedit of generations yet unborn. Look at the S-51, with her thirtythree dead, just for the sake of traiing. Look at the New Jersey arsenal, Struck by lightning, blown to atoms, equal to a small earthquake in destructiveness and just for the sake of keejing a supply of TNT on hand. Look at the broken treasuries cf Europq, with Industry demoralized, men out of work, children going hungry, and seven years after the armistice was signed. We are not dealing with- mere impulse and inspiration here, but with something deliberate, something planned* something artificial, something that continually taxes peace. In olden times the returned soldier hung up his weapon, went to work in his garden and settled down to a life of quiet content. He did not come home a helpless cripple, with legs, arms or face blown off, or with his mind shattered through shell shock, or with tuberculosis incubated in his lungs. When the sword and -the spear reached a vital spot they caused death. When they did not, the wound healed easily. When hung on the wall, or stored in an armors, they became harmless. We have grown wonderfully efficient, with our machine guns, our chemical poisons and our bombs from on high, but we are paying for It. -I- -!• -!- Pathetic Grandeur With all his genius Nathaniel Hawthorne never wrote a tale of more pathetic grandeur than his daughter lived. Something of his mysticism, bis sympathy and his revolt at convehtlonalized life seems to have entered her soul, though to find form In a very different expression. Superficially, she may have forsaken her father’s faith when she became a Catholic, but she was essentially true to It when she* dedicated her life to the service of hopeless sufferers. Most anybody would like to write as her father did, though few can. Most anybody can stand- by the beds of incurable sick as she did, though few would like to. •I- I- -lA Vivid Spotlight Ts there ever was a case in which citizens could afford to lay aside their anti-prohibition sentiments and be guided strictly by evidence and the law it is that of William V. Dwyer and his associates now being tried in New York. Here were millions mobilized, as it is charged, whole fleets of ships chartered, sailing schedules established and a genuine conspiracy formed to defy the authority of the United States. You would think that citizens might sense enough danger in such a line-up as that to be willlng-to convict, even though they opposed the law in quesnon. It is a fact, however, and one which throws vivid light on the status of public opinon in New York, that three special panels were exhausted before twelve men could be found who were ready to say that their feelings against prohibition was not strong enough to stand in the way of an impartial verdict. -I- I *l- - Grief

“Thirty-five years in the pen,” exclaimed Martin Durkin, when a Chicago judge pronounced that sentence against him for murdering a Federal dry agent, “I'd rather be hanged.” “My God, why didn't they hang him” cried his mothoy. “They might as well had done that as give him thirty-five years.” Now is that true, or just the excited outburst of grief? i Would ‘Martin Durkin, cr any other man, rather be sentenced to hang than to a term in prison? Would Mrs. Durkin, or any other mother, rather see her son sent to the gallows than to a cell? -I- •!• -IPatience the Need The French parade, started as a protest against ratification of the debt pact with this country, appears to have turned out an almost pathetic compound of sincerity and discontent. Its best elements undoubtedly represented an honest distrust of the agreement while its worst represented no more , than the ever-present yeast of unhappiness which is ready to be against anything gt any time. . % Americans will do well to attach little importance to the proceeding. It was merely one of those exhibitions which are likely to occur among a highly wrodght-up people, and which taken on their peculiar form, -not because It means anything, but because it is most convenient for the moment. There are people in France who really that the United States is trying to get a mortgage on the world. Likewise, there are people everywhere who believe that business, politics and life itself serve no purpose but to keep the poor poorer and the rich richer. Patience, not temper, is the thing needed. —- How are fielding averages -calculated in baseball? ' x' Divide the total putouts, assists and errors into the total of putouts and assists.

Lovey Mary Is tKe Sweet Thing on the Screen as She Was in a Story Years Ago

By Walter D_ Hickman Good, comfortable and pleasant reading was given to the world when “Mr*. vVlggs of the Cabbape Patch" and "Lovey Mary" were published. Year* ago, I remem be a public speaker stated that he wished he

could have been the author of these two Kooks because they “brought real humai} sunshine into the lives of thousands of people.” I agree with -the speaker because I have thought that these two books caused the world to be a little better and happier place In which to live. And so "Lovey Mary” has reached the screen and some of the de-

lightfully human sentiments of the. characters have been photographed. It is not necessary to introduce you to the Cabbage Patch, that humble but real living place for human people of no financial worth but wealthy because they enjoyed the sunshine of life. And sunshine does help to make people both happy and healthy. And “Lovey Mary” as a photoplay is going to put at least a ray of sunshine In the hearts of those who see It. Bessie Love is the Lovey Mary of this production which was directed by King Baggot. Baggot Is one director who knows how to use a child in a photoplay. The two youngsters used In this production radia|e sunshine and loving sentiment every second they are present. Miss Love makes Lovey Mary a character which seems to be real. Her makeup and general character attitude is according to the character of the author. Vi via Ogden, she of the pathetic, funny face, has the big comedy character of the story, that of Miss Hazey, who nearly got a worthless husband by answering a love advertisement. “Love! Mary” is just a simple, delicious wtory of real people. The screen director has caught the spirit of the yarn and has turned out a picture which is mighty good entertainment. Am convinced now that Lester. Huff is "the humorist of the pipe organ.” This man this week is getting several tons of laughs out of illustrated organ song, called “Lulu Lou." Huff can make the organ, smile, howl and laugh any time.

MR. FIXIT Correspondent Wants Northside Fire Stations Built,

Let Mr. Fixit present your case t 6 city officials. He is The Times representative at the city hall. Write lum at The Times. Erection of two fire Stations on the north side is requested by a correspondent of Mr. Fixit today. DEAR MR. FIXIT: How soon will they start building those two new fire stations on the north side? I believe those stations should be built at once to have them in service before winter. A large number of runs were made up this way last winter. E. J. The board of safety has recommended establishment of the two stations. However, a recent opinion of the city legal staff is to the effect that the board of works only has authority to build the stations. The question now is before the board of works. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Recently a family which has a number of dogs moved Into our neighborhood. Hardly a night has passed since they have lived here 'that one ofvthe dogs has not barked the whole night through.

as some of the other masters, but he turned out melodies that will live on and on. Here is a ballad opera of great charm. Again this Music Master Overture is one of the big spots on this weeks Circle progrhm. The stage presentation this week is furnished by Harry Waiman and his Debutantes, a girl orchestra. Waiman is one director who has the good judgement of not trying to be too much of a comedian while directing. Three numbers composed by the late Victor Herbert are the real hits of this orchestra. Ben Lyon and May MacAvoy are frolicing this week in a movie burlesque, called “The Savage.” Tt Is far fetched fun, but it sure did get the laughs when I was present. The subtitles are gay and "sassy.” In a nut shell the story concerns the efforts of DannyV Terry to impersonate an island savage who is "captured” by an alleged scientist to prove that man didn't come from a monkey. The plan looks like a success until the “savage" falls in love with daughter of the scientists. There is a good reason for this as May MacAvoy plays the daughter role. “The Savage” is just light burlesque, full of laughs. Bill includes a news reel, a comedy presentation and bther events. < At the Circle all week.

IS' THIS CASE THE WOMAN DIDN’T PAY It has been said that the woman always pays, but In the case of the chief female character in “The Gilded Butterfly." she didn’t pay enough. This butterfly in this movie was brought up to believe by a scheming father who was too

She nearly destroys the life and ideals of a real guy. It seems that more real guys fall in love with the e misguided, good-looking, nonworking heroines of movie stories. Alma Rubens is the butterfly and Bert Lytell and Huntly Gordon are the chief men In her chain of ex periences. The director is at fault most of the time/in this picture.
