A Fine Example The Real Estate Board has shown the way. It proposes to send a committee of its leading members to impress Mayor Duvall with the necessity of his standing aside for the good of the city. They have discovered that the mayor instead of recognizing the seriousness of the situation intends to hang on as long as possible, although he is under sentence to jail and a jury has said that because of his crime he was never eligible to the office usurped. These real estate men believe that the time has come for some respect fur law and the foundation of all government. It sterns absurd that any city should be driven to such lengths as is Indianapolis in order to get rid of an administration that is now judicially decreed never to have had any right to take over the powers of office. The real estate-men will march upon the mayor ? s office and try to see whether he- can face them when away from his very bad advisers. His one hope seems to be that he can profit by arousing waves of religious antagonisms in this city and still control a great city under a cloak of hate. That will, of course, fail. The people of Indiana and Indianapolis will never again lend their confidence to the leadership which betrayed them and the State. Marching on the city hall is-a fine example. Then the same delegations, formed into battalions of determined citizenship, should turn to the State House and tell the Governor that Indianapolis demands that the State, through a special session of the Legislature, give back to this city the right of self-gov-ernment which the Legislature took away through a bill which prevents immediate effect of the city manager system. The old right of petition is being restored and men are being aroused to the importance of using it. Petitions in person have been effective in the past. The time seems to. have‘arrived when such petitions in person are needed here to impress officials, indicted or convicted, with a sense of public duty. The Governor can have no real reason for refusing to call a special session. Os course, the Black Boxes of Stephenson might reach the light through a public investigation and such a revelation might prove embarrassing, not to the Governor, but to some of his friends and associates. There is every reason for a special session. There is none against it. The delay in the city manager system in this city, which has voted for it, is costing the people every month more money than would the session. In money, a special session would profit the State as, a whole many times every month whatever the cost of the session might be. Let it be hoped that other civic bodies, not only in Indianapolis, but throughout the State, will follow the fine example of the Real Estate Board. They believe that the way to get a thing is to ask for it.

Congress, the Courts and Labor There should be, and there Is likely to be, action by the coming Congress to restrict the power of the courts to issue injunctions. The latest injunction decree —that by Federal District Judge Schoonmaker, sitting in Pittsburgh—seems certain to precipitate such action. A steady growth of opinion that the courts have embarked on a course far afield from the intent of statutes enacted by Congress, makes it more than probable that the coming session will find Congress in a mood to do something that will sharply limit the use of the injunction process in labor disputes. • A suggested cure for the present practice of the courts comes just at this time from organized labor, the party most concerned. Speaking in the convention of the American Federation of Labor at Los Angeles, Andrew W. Furuseth called attention to the fact that Congress, which has the power to create courts, also has the power to define the limits of the authority of those courts. Congress can, in fact, if it wants to, strip the courts of all authority to issue injunctions in labor disputes. It may be that Furuseth is pointing the way for ,Congress. In any case it is time for Congress to act. When a court can enjoin virtually every activity of a group of workers lawfully banded together in a labor union it is time that such power be taken away, \ Mellon and the U. S. C. of C. The United States Chamber of Commerce, through a special committee, proposes a Federal tax cut of $400,000,000. One of the arguments advanced in favor of such a reduction is that the Treasury Department has underestimated probable surpluses during recent years, and thus diverted money to debt retirement which should have gone to tax relief. Does recent treasury history support such an argument? On June 30 the treasury reported a surplus of $635,000,000. That was certainly large enough to suggest that the government collected more than it needed last year. On its face it was an invitation for tax reduction proposals. When that .surplus is examined, however, it disappears into .thin air as a guide to tax reduction possibilities. In that $635,000,000 surplus was about $383,000,000 of back tax collections; $90,000,000 of collections of .1

war-time loans to the railroads; $60,000,000 from the sale of Federal farm loan bonds held by the government, and $27,000,000 in repayment of treasury advances to the War Finance Corporation. That’s a total of $560,000,000 of what are called "non-recurring” items. That means they are not from continuing sources of revenue, but are windfalls' that won’t be duplicated. V i The only surplus that’s worth anything as a guide to tax reduction is a surplus of dependable revenues above government operating expenses. Last year the treasury surplus of that kind was somewhere around $75,000,000. But even that relatively small amount doesn’t give a true picture of the government’s financial position last year. Federal expenditures last year were $150,000,000 less than the year before, but a large share of this cut was postponed expenditure rather than permanent or operating costs. The Senate got tied up in a filibuster and didn’t pass an appropriation bill calling for the expenditure of $20,000,000. The last Congress passed a law providing for sixty days’ delay In making tax refunds, and that cut $35,000,000 from what the treasury had planned to spend last year. When these delayed expenditures are subtracted from last year’s treasury surplus it appears that the Federal government barely covered its operating expenses last year. Germany and the Dawes Plan In the last three years Germany has paid the allies some $900,000,000 on account of reparations. In the same time she has borrowed $1,000,000,000 from the United States alone, or $100,000,000 more than enough to meet the payments. Here, in a nutshell, is the reason many observers are far from optimistic over the successful operation of the Dawes plan when the maximum, or standard year, payments come due as they will beginning a year from now. Smith can pay Brown the SI,OOO he owes him without trouble if Jones will lend him $l,lOO. A child can see that. But when Smith is called upon to pay Brown $2,000 a year later and also to pay Jones either the $l,lOO or the interest thereon to boot and has nobody to borrow from, what then? That will be Germany’s case beginning in the fall of 1928. She will be called upon to pay $625,000,000 a year to the allies instead of an average of $300,000,000 a, year as in the past, plus the interest on the billion dollars and more she borrowed from the United States, all without resorting to any more foreign loans. Incidentally experts have remarked on the smoothness with which Germany has been able to meet reparations without upsetting her mark exchange. The fact is, of course, Germany has not been shipping marks out of the country but borrowing frpm the outside more than enough to meet the payments. The real test of the Dawes plan, therefore, is yet to come. i

Comparisons While some people envy judges because they take a vacation of three or four months’ duration, they might better envy the happy baseball player who can loaf- or play at something else about six months of the year. Not only that, but the ball player doesn’t have to strain his intellect during vacation beyond figuring out how to save or spend his money. Judges often put in some of the vacation time studying up on cases to be decided in the fall. But the ball player has a chance to exercise his envy, too. The champion prizefighter of the world doesn’t have to defend his title oftener than once a year, and if he feels like it he can string out his vacation for several years, and the wear and tear on his mind isn’t anything to worry about. Os course, some may prefer being a Judge to being a baseball player or a pugilist, but the average youth of schocl age probably has a greater ambition to be a Babe Ruth or a Gene Tunney than to be a Chief Justice Taft. Human nature being what it is, and success being measured largely by the gate receipts, the greater popularity of the Ruths, Tunneys, Dempseys and Douglas Fairbankses is understandable. Fortunately, however, there is still joy in thinking and in reasoning and there will always be men to fill the thinking jobs. Perhaps one reason why more politicians don’t throw their hats into the ring is that they like to talk-through them. A young man played the saxophone for eighteen hours, setting a record. The very man to send to Mexico to keep the peace! . Dora never will make a bridge player. She hates to return a diamond. All a man meeds these days to be able to make a living at gelling gasoline is a little target practice.

Law and Justice By Dexter M. Keezer

A young woman died following an illegal operation. The administrator of her estate sued the doctor who had performed the operation for damages, claiming that the death was due to his violation of the law in performing the operation. The doctor contended that he was not liable for damages, because the young woman had consented to the operation. This, he argued, made her just as much a violator of the law as he was, and barred the administrator of her estate from making any damage claim against him. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Ohio decided that the fact that the young woman had consented to the illegal operation did not bar the administrator of her estate from claiming damages on account of the fatal result. The court said that consent of one party to an illegal act doek not relieve the other party from liability, it may . serve to lessen, the damages involved*,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Af. E. TRACY SAYS: Trans - Atlantic Flying Has Entered a New Phase, the Phase of Hard-Boiled Guys and Dough.

On Thursday afternoon, while millions of people were waiting anxiously and sympathetically to hear more news of Ruth Elder and her pilot after the brief dispatch announcing their rescue, P. C. McArdle, Miss Elder’s principal backer, said: “I realize anything these people have to say when they reach land Is worth dough. I have sent two cables to Holland warning them to say nothing. You are dealing with a hard boiled guy.” Then turning to his partner, H. E. Cornell, who was attending to the messages, he said: ‘‘Remember, big boy, I am depending on you to keep these wires hot. There is dough in this.” An Era of ‘Dough’ The Elder flight was supposed to have been inspired by Lindbergh; it is unfortunate that the inspiration was no more genuine and complete and that Lindbergh’s disregard of the “dough” has been sidetracked. Lindbergh’s wonderful feat in flying across the Atlantic was eclipsed by his still more wonderful feat of refusing to cash in on it. That is the reason "why America has acclaimed him as she has acclaimed no other young man, why she continues to rejoice in the splendid example he set. No one can place Lindbergh’s comments beside those of McArdle without realizing that transoceanic flying has entered anew phase—the phase of hard-boiled guys and dough. ‘lncurable’ in 111-Repute Dr. Ernest P. Bcas. director of the Montfaero hospital of New York, is right in denouncing the word “incurable.” There are many diseases to which this word may truthfully be applied, but there are many doctors who fail to recognize them. As long as the medical ’profession shows such a poor average* in diagnosing diseases, it has no right to blast the hope of patients and relatives. There is scarcely a middle aged man or woman in this country but v/lio knows of cases that have recovered after some doctor has pronounced them “incurable.” Loose employment of this word not ortly causes useless pain, but frequently brings the medical profession into disrepute. Hoover Gains Strength Whether they realize it or not, western Republicans are pouring water on Hoover’s wheel. Senator Ncrris cannot be nominated, Senator Borah would probably not accept the nomination if he could get it and ex-Governor Lowden has shot his bolt. When western Republicans come out against all the eastern applicants, therefore, they virtually eliminate everybody but Hoover. Perhaps that is what they have in mind.

Obregon Ends Revolt Barring accident, the election in Mexico has been decided and Gen. Alvaro Obregon will be the next president. That is the outstanding result of the abortive revolution just concluded. Hours of fighting on a mountainside, a few follow-up skirmishes and a few picturesque careers brought to an end by a firing squad served to remove all the opposition. The Mexican government will go through the formality of balloting, but only to-confirm what the folly of Seranno and his associates have made inevitable. Houses of Steef If a Pullman car or an ocean liner can be constructed of steel, why not a house? Steel cars and ships are waterproof, fireprcjof and comparatively free from depreciation. Costing more at the outset, they represent a saving in the end. Steel houses offer the same advantages of economy and ’safety. Robert Tappan apparently has invented one. Lumber houses not only represent a fire hazard and other risks that ought to be avoided, but a destruction of forests that ought to be stopped. We can use iron for a long time without making dangerous inr&ads on the supply. The of lumber, however, has reached such a low point that further inroads on it may cause serious trouble at anj- moment. Shaw’s View on Italy George Bernard Shaw thinks that it is a waste of time to argue how Mussolirfl got there. What he wants to know, and all he wants to know, is whether Mussolini is making a good job of it. * He is not-moved by any particular anxiety even on that score, since he has about made up his mind in the affirmative. He is even optimistic enough to predict that Mussolini may turn out a fairly good socialist because some of the things he has done “will bring him in time into a serious conflict with capitalism.” Such an idea is not only illogical but unoriginal and Shaw ought to be ashamed of it. From the time immemorial, dictatorship has been defended on the ground that.it was bound to serve the public well because of the lesser light it extinguished Such an argument would have enabled King John to prcVe that he was a real friend of the English people when he tried to override ;Jhe barons.

Beautiful Things of Painter’s Mind on Exhibition at the John Herron Art Institute of Indianapolis

Mrs. Melville F. Johnston, director of exhibitions of the Richmond Art Association, spoke recently hi the galleries of the John Herron Art Institute. She discussed the Richmond loan collection and paid a graceful tribute to he artistic accomplishment of J. Ottis Adams, the Memorial Exhibition of whose work occupies Galleries 9 and 'lO. The first painting acquired by the Richmond Association was “Whitewater Valley," by T. C. Steele; the second was “Blue Spring.” by J. E. Bundy. Both these canvases are included in the present - loan. Mrs. Johnston told the story of their acquisition, emphasizing their importance as a nucleus to the fine collection now displayed. Her story of how William N. Chase painted to order the large portrait of himself for the sum of SSOO brought applause from her listeners. She did not comment individually on the Adams paintings but dwelt on the personality of the artist that shines from everything he produced, and on the thoroughness of his knowledge of his craft and the expressiveness of his technique. The large canvas that hangs in the middle of the south wall of Gallery 9, “The Ebbing of Day” lent by the Y. M. C. A. of Muncie, has attracted much admiring attention and

Bakst has been dead three years but these textile designs were first publicly exhibited only last April dt the New York Art Center. Bakst had, of course, sound academic training, and his work for all its individuality and originality is classic in its precision of execution and beauty of line.

(Noblesville Ledger) (Republican) There are some who object to the expense of the State schools, even Purdue, but others continue to give vast sums of money to build up those schools and to add to their efficiency. A great Worth- dormitory for young men is being .. erected at Purdue, started largely by a While great gift by a man who wished to Gifts honor a. member of his family and also who has a vision of helping those trying to get an education along engineering, scientific and agricultural lines. Some men with money are always anxious to see that good comes from its use and a gift to a great school is one of the best ways in which to put money well earned to work. Purdue is to be congratulated that its benefits are acknowledged by the people and that so many are willing to give to help it reach even a stronger place in the realm of practical education.

The State of Indiana at large Fight has no particular interest in the Indianapolis situation. In all the political hub-hub that has been raised no charges have been made In court to show that public monies have been involved in the Indianapolis political scandal. It seems to be merely the perennial Indianapolis conflict between the “outs” and the “ins.” There is no valid reason why the people of the State of Indiana at large should be burdened with the expense of a special session of th-j Legislature to aid one political faction or another in a purely local political fight.

When the World War broke out, Tony could not yet talk like an American—but he could fight like one, and did. When he came back, he went to work again at his old job in a factory. He was Industrious and thrifty and his savings grew steadily greater—for a very special reason: he intended to send for his sweetheart in Italy as soon aS he could. This great day came at last. All the plans were made and the brideelect was due to arrive. Then suddenly across the bright skies came clouds apparently with silverless linings. From Ellis Island came a message that Corda had arrived and that she was to be deported on the next boat because there was already an excess quota. Frantically Tony sought help from the only source he knew—the Red Cross. He made inquiries 'at the home service department for ex-service men. Could they help him? They could. 1 A telegram sped to Ellis Island stating that affidavits regarding the adequacy of Toney’s resources, together with his honorable dischage from the army were on the way to the Department of Labor in Washington, and that everything was being done to bring the girl to her Tony. A month’s parole was the result of this timely service, and Corda came to Indianapolis. A few days later a pretty wedding took place. Ao Mrs. Tony. Corda did not have to return to Italy.
