Tax Burdens Increases of taxation over a period of five years alarms the state organization of property owners, large property owners. They want economies. That there is vast waste in public funds is readily apparent. It would take no financial genius, if given a free hand, to reduce the burden and give the people much more for their money than they get at present. A private corporation, for instance, engaged in the building of roads, would never think of buying its cement and paying heavy profits when it had the raw material and the labor within its own control. The state, if It were wise, could materially reduce the cost of road building by installing a cement plant at the state farm, where the materials abound and are owned by the state. The labor to the state would be free and plentiful, as long as bootleg"mg is a crime. Red tape and tradition prevent this very obvious saving. Os course, the activity of cement lobbyists in the legislature and around the Statehouse may have something to do with this particular plan. A large burden in all taxation comes from interest on debts. This state has no bonded indebtedness, but it does have some dents that are as near to bonds as the constitution permits. The debts on armories built by a bank with a subsidiary construction company is a debt against the state and requires big interest payments each year. In the cities and counties the interest charges pyramid taxes until it is small wonder that the farmer wants relief. The building of schools in many of the rapidly growing cities of the Tate has become a problem. Some cities are seeking evasion of their debt limitations in order to borw money for necessary buildings. The tax situation might induce a tew of the experts to study very carefully the plan recently advanced by Henry Ford. That makes it respectable. It is the same plan which General Coxey has advocated for thirty or more years as the remedy for unemployment and the freeing of industry and business from unnecessary interest charges on public improvements. The plan is simple. He would have each government unit which issues bonds, continue to issue them under the same limitations that now make them very attractive to private investors. He would deposit these bonds with the government and receive cash for them which would be expended on the improvement. Each year he would raise 5 per cent ol the total by taxation, the same as is now paid in interest, and return this to the government. The money would be destroyed. At the end of twenty years, the bond would be fully paid, the money retired and the people left with no burden of refinancing or taxing themselves foi the principal. The plan is gaming favor. Not only Henry Ford, but others like it. Fanners and taxpayers might, if ihey understood it For three decades Coxey has carried on his campaign of education. At the last congress the house hanking committee considered it. He had a tie vote in the committee. Those who do not like high taxes might write' to the senators and congressmen and ask them to find out whether the Ford or Coxey plan would help. It is just possible that it furnishes a solution foi many economic evils. Three Months •'lt'S not every day that a million dollars is sent to jail.” That is what they say about Harry Sinclair. He. is going to jail today or tomorrow lor three months. Sinclair conspired with Secretary Fall to defraud the government of its naval oil reserves at Teapot Dome. But that is not why he is going to jail. Sinclair also was charged with trying to obstruct justice in one of his trials by having members of his jury shadowed. But he is not going to jail for that. It Is because he refused to answer senate questions regarding the Teapot Dome deal that he is going bchind the bars—for contempt. Sinclair is fortunate in his offense. How Wise of him not to criticise the Mussolini dictatorship! Then he might have been sent to Atlanta prison for a whole year, like Carlo Tresca of New York. If he had sent a sex education pamphlet through the mails, lie might have got five years. If lie had sold liquor under the Jones law. he might have got five years. Or up in Michigan he might have got a life sentence for selling a pint. If he had distributed literature of the Workers party, a legal political organization, he might have been sentenced to five years, like the three workers recently convicted in Pennsylvania. Or if he had been an innocent labor leader like Tom Mooney, whom the local authorities wanted to ‘ get,” he might have been sentenced to hang and then received a commutation to life imprisonment. But it is not every day that a million dollars is sent to jail—even for three months. Co-operation Replacing Criticism Bankers and economists disagree on what has caused the orgy of speculation in stocks, and on what should be done about it. They do agree, however, that the present situation is unhealthy, and that high interest rates caused by use of credit on the stock exchange are having adverse effects on business and industry and may affect lorcign trade. The pinch is beginning to be felt. They now seem agreed also on the necessity for cooperation o all elements with the federal reserve board in its efforts to bring conditions back to normal. The United States Chamber of Commerce, for instance, after long discussion of finance and credit at its annual meeting, adopted a resolution which said among other things, “the chamber has confidence in the federal reserve system and its adaptability to new conditions and holds that the system is entitled to the utmost co-oparation.” The chamber had heard John Foster Dulles of New York tell of the accomplishments of the reserve system in restoring conditions to normal here and abroad in the troubled post-war years, and dispute the claim of W. C. Durant that industrial leaders of the country were 97’- per cent opposed to the policies of the board. Dulles believes the present problem primarily is one of psychology. He warned again'?' the danger o\

releasing new credit which would be absorbed in speculation. "The last ten years exemplify a monetary policy which adequately has met our national needs and brought us unprecedented prosperity,” he said. "If; those who have administered that policy warn that its continuance is imperiled, it behooves all prudent men 1 to heed and not to rail.” Others spoke in similar vein. Colonel Leonard P. J Ayres of Cleveland diagnosed the present trouble as largely due to the “invisible banking system" that has j grown up. He referred to the practice of corporations 1 loaning excess funds in the call money market, and ; suggested their regulation. The federal reserve system, j Colonel Ayres asserts, is in no way to blame for this condition. Harry A. Wheeler. Chicago banker, appealed to the chamber to co-operate with the board. He argued that the board should not be blamed for the present credit situation, but that banks, brokers, dealers in securities, and those who speculate should shoulder the responsibility. He would curb stock issues. While the chamber was in session, the National City Bank of New York in its May review called for a further check on speculative credit, and warned of ‘lie danger to business if interest rates were not lowered. Charles E. T itchell, who has criticised the board for its policies, is president of this bank. Thus it would seem that whatever the cause and the cure, business men and bankers are awakened to the dangers in the present trend and to the necessity for restoring conditions to normal. Realization that bickering and assaults on the reserve system will not remedy conditions, and that there is need for co-operation, is a distinct gain. The combined forces of business, finance, and industry, working with the reserve system, should be able to avoid a condition that would bring general disaster. A Wise Decision Frank E. Gannett has acted with promptness and s ourage in severing all financial connection between his newspapers and the International Paper and Fewer Company Mr. Gannett is recognized as a publisher of high t haraetcr. But, while his fellow publishers did not question his motives in accepting loans from the International, they felt that such relationship was most unwise. As he himself expresses it in an editorial in the Brooklyn Eagle: "The absolute independence and integrity of a Ganifett newspaper must never be in doubt.” Therefore, while repeating his relief that his relationship with the International was a straightforward, legal business transaction, he lias chosen with good grace to conform to the view that newspapers should not be associated financially with power companies. We share the judgment of a large majority of editors that the International's acquisition of stock holdings in newspapers is a menace to a free press. Revelations by the federal trade commission that this company alone has penetrated thirteen newspapers in various parts of the country indicate the extent of the danger. The issue is clear. A power company has a private interest to serve in its relations with the public A newspaper must be above such interest. The two can not mix. Any attempt to make them mix onlytan injure the newspaper in fact and in public confidence. Mr. Gannett's courage in dissociating his newspapers from the International should be an example to other publishers with whom the pow i companies are negotiating for stock.

Expansion Cools Air

No. 347 -

COOLING by expansion is the method which is responsible for the formation of most clouds, aclording to Dr. W. J. Humphreys, physicist, of the United States weather bureau. Expansion is one of the four ways by which a large

- $

of the air can be accomplished in two ways. Ono is to heat the air. A gas always expands when it is heated. The other is to release the amount of pressure u) der which it is held. It seems obvious that if you heat gas to expand it. you will not succeed in getting enough cooling as the result of the expansion to cause the formation of clouds. And this would be true if the ai: was enclosed in some sort of container. But let us suppose that a mass of air over a cert%i'.i region is warmed as a result of sunlight, i Sunlight does not warm the air as it passes through it. The sun's rays are absorbed by the ground which then gives up the energy in the form of long heat waves which warm the air. That is why the air nearest the ground becomes the warmest.' Now. then, when the air becomes warmed it expands and hence becomes lighter than the cooler air surrounding it. Asa result, the cooler air pushes in on it and the warm air is lifted or pushed up. The warm air rises just as warm air rises in a chimney. But though we speak of warm air rising in the chimney, it is important to remember that in reality the warm air is pushed up the chimney by the colder air entering at the bottom through the draft opening or fireplace opening, as the case may be. As the warm air rises—we are speaking again oi the outdoors—it begins to expand, because the general air pressure encountered at higher levels is less than that at the ground. As the air expands it gets colder. It must be remembered that heat is merely molecular motion. As the molecules spread out over a greater area they lose energy and slow up. Dr. Humphreys says that air of average humidity wiU lose one degree, Fahrenheit, for every 178 feet it rises. As the ;iir continues to rise, expand and cool, it finally passes below -the dew-point. Asa result, the moisture in it condenses and clouds are formed as a result. Here again is one of the paradoxes of meteorology. Heating a mass of. air slightly, results in it eventually becoming colder. ►

Poverty, Like Other Things, Is Sot So Bod if There Is a Crowd to Share It. OICK and discouraged over the problem of supporting ?. wife and eight daughters on S7O a month, the Rev. Alexander Harpas, pastor of the Greek Orthodox church at Alpha N. J„ attempts suicide by slashing his throat. Out of work with a fractured knee, and not a cent in her purse, Mrs. Laura Mintzer. Council Bluffs, la., offers to sell her body to the medical school offering the best price. a a a Burden of Poverty TT is hard to live, much less succeed, in the face of poverty, especially when most other people seem so well off and when the cry is all for spending. Poverty, like other things, is not so bad if there is a crowd to share it. What really hurts is to bear it alone, to be the worst off in a community, to realize that one can not have, or give like other folks. Prosperity only doubles the burden. The poor in this country are poorer than they ever were because of the contrast. ana A Brave Woman ' a 'HERE are circumstances which no human being can overcome, and which make help imperative, but a brighter side of the picture is to be found in the success of those Who get out of their troubles some way in spite of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Josephine Callahan of Los Angeles, Cal., not only has obtained her license as an aviatrix, but drives horses and autos though she is without hands. With a flying stick so contrived that she can make her six-inch arms manipulate it, and with the seat raised to accommodate her short body, she zooms, loops the loop, and says it Is not half so hard as driving a car. ana Patriotism and Greed OF course, this Mexican revolution was a protest against tyranny, a move to free downtrodden people and all that, but the boys appear to have gathered up quite a bit of loot as they went along, and not only the boys in charge, but some of those who stayed so far behind that they never came within speaking distance of the rear guard. It is not surprising, therefore, to discover two of the gang trying to make Europe via New York with three-quarters of a million in a little black bag, or to learn that one of them held a gambling concession under a great patriot leader, while the other was content to act as his secretary. a a r Reform—For Plunder IT can hardly be denied that there are hearts’ in Mexico, as well as some other places, which bleed with uplift and reform, but some how the blood seems to flow much freer when plunder is In sight. Even in our own dear country, it is generally hard to get a drive started, no matter how noble the motive or pure the purpose, unless there is good pay in it for someone. Take prohibition, for Instance, and how much did it cost to put over the eighteenth amendment, in spite of all the talk about fanaticism and spontaneous zeal? Not only that, but it still costs something to get men to enforce prohibition, though to let enthusiasts tel) it the virtue of doing so ought to be more than enough for its own reward. a a a Joke on Dry Sleuths STILL there is plenty of zeal, even though it does need the stimulus of a pay envelope now and then—so much, in fact, that customs guards are ready to search one of Uncle Sam's cruisers on an anonymous tip. What credulity and what courage! Also, what humiliation, when they discovered nothing to report but the fact that they had been gloriously bunked! Now they say that the unsigned note which informed them that they could find “plenty - ’ if they would only visit some of the warships in New York harbor, preferably the Richmond, was probably written by a disgruntled sailor. Too bad they could not have thought of that before. a a a Young's Compromise GERMANY having offered too little, and the allies having asked too much. Owen D. Young, chairman of the reparations conference. proposes a plan of his own. The plan is not a compromise, we are told. Young having worked it out very carefully by taking “all ; factors” into account, but since It provides a sum in between, it I amounts to little else. According to what are described as “authentic sources" Young’s man provides for annual payments by Germany which average $494,000.000 over a period of fiLv-eight years, making a grand *otal of about twenty-nine billion dollars. The item of interest cuts some figure, especially when reckoned at s*.- per cent, so that the “present value - ’ of what Germany would pay under Young's plan is between eight and nine billion r'oHars. Schacht. head of the German delegation, has agreed to the Young plan, provided the allies will accept i it, and provided further that Germany will be credited with all profits of the international bank which the plan authorizes if it succeeds, but will not be held liable for its losses li It fails. The allies have not arrived at any conclusion, but an atmosphere of hopefulness pervades their deliberations.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES _

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia. the Health Magazine. THERE are all sorts of causes for itching. In fact, most diseases of the skin itch at one time or another, but what is probably one of the most serious diseases of the skin does not itcli. Since the senation of itching is earned by the nerves and perceived in the brain, the lack of attention to the spot that itches, if it does not itch too much, will lessen the sensation of itching. However, most human minds arc constituted so that a deliberate desire not to pay any attention to the itching and thus not to scratch it

W 'HENEVER a public controversy grows hot. there is always, an individual who comes along, belatedly, and says, "Don'l get excited." This is a person who feels superior, for his favorite slogan runs, "The truth lies sornewhere between the two." He is also fond of "There is much to be said on both sides.” Don't trust this man for his liberalism is but a thin sheilac. The cause which he seems to espouse he will praise with faint damns, to borrow a phrase from Percy Hammond. His contribution he is likely to call "common sense,” which generally turns out to be a synonym for mere misrepresentation. k y r Reverses Attitude BY a . to. c‘ cnee, the ! Evening Post carried an editorial called "Common Sense and the Dennett Case." ' The paper has on several occasion s expressed tepid regrets concerning the conviction, but now it is inclined to pick certain flaws in the propaganda for the defendant, as follows : “Mrs. Dennett should not be suppressed or imprisoned for trying to give to adolescents the facts about sex. But neither Mrs. Dennett nor her radical supporters should be allowed to impose her booklet upon the children of fathers and mothers who happen to think that their ideas of sex education are every bit as good as Mrs. Dennett's. “The pamphlet should be printed. It should be allowed to be used where it is desired. It should not be declared ‘obscene.’ But it should not be exalted into a holy and righteous thing for the compulsory use of every boy or girl of any and all ages, in America. a a a Just rt Smoke Screen NOW this editorial in the Post represents a complete ignorance of the issue at stake, or a very mean attempt to weaken sympathy for Mrs. Dennett by confusing the controversy. The Post might have gone on to say. “The pamphlet, should not be recited by eight chorus girls in unison in the next Ziegfeld “Pollies." It ought not to be carved upon the front of the public library or used in the churches in place of the Lord's prayer.'' Neither Mrs. Dennett, “nor any of her radical supporters" ever has attempted to force “The Sex Side ot Life" upon any unwilling person. There has been no campaign whatsoever to popularize it widely. To be sure, it was used in the public schools in Bronxville. and if parents in that community object to its use. as they have every right to do. their appeal with their own school board.' * 4 Mrs. Dennett most certainly did not bludgeon the citizens of Bronx- ; ville into accepting it. a a a Starving Armenians, IDO not happen to believe in compulsory classes for sex education. but that has about as much

is likely to make the itch even worse. Physicians do not believe that bites or any other causes of itching should be scratched. The great difficulty with scratching Is: first, that it merely relieves the itching during the scratching process and not permanently: second, that it is likely to irritate the skin so seriously that the pus-forming bacteria constantly present upon the skin will gain entrance through the spot that is broken down by scratching, and set up an infection far worse than the original condition Bites of the louse, the bed bug, the larvae of pin worms, of the flea and the tick, and of the acarus scabiei, or itch parasite, produces well nigh intolerable itching.

to do with the Dennett case as footbinding in China. The Post is aiding and abetting the prosecution in its reference to Mrs. Dennett and “her radical supporters.” Mr. Wilkinson, by some extraordinary stretch of the imagination. told the jurors in summing up that the pamphlet, was “communism.” Such stuff, of course, is merely bait for boobs. The isssue does not lie betv'een conservatives and radicals. The American Civil Liberties League has interested itself in the defense of Mrs. Dennett as it has interested itself in numerous other cases involving freedom of speeech. But there is no reason on earth why a person should not believe in high protective tariff, one hundred new battle cruisers, Jonah, and Mabel Walker Willebrandt, and still hold that it Is monstrous for Mrs. Dennett to serve three hundred days in Jail for writing the simple truth about se xin plain language. T have yet to meet anybody who says that the pamphlete is holy. In discussing the case I have one advantage over the editor of the Evening Post, who proudly exclaims: “We haven’t read it. We don’t want to read it.”

Physicians prescribe all sorts of preparations which control the sensation of itching satisfactorily, but the cure of the condition depends on getting rid of the parasite or of the toxic substances that are responsible. In the case of the mosquito bite, the blood supply takes care of this usually within twenty-four hours, sometimes longer. An unscratched mosquito bite will stop itching if one has a mind strong enough to avoid paying attention or capable of being fixed on some other matter. Really it does not stop Itching at, all. merely the threshold for perception oi’ the sense of itching is raised.

Not a Masterpiece THIS seems to me a curious attitude upon the part of a perj son who assumes the magnificent : pose of bringing forward the first ray of common sense yet produced jin the controversy. Often It, is ! quite helpful to be familiar with j the matter which one is discussing. “The Sex Side of Liie” is not, in ,my opinion, a masterpiece. It is entirely conceivable that any one of a number of persons could write a better pamphlet. But if Mary Ware Dennett goes to jail it will be impossible for any one to write any sort of essay on sex education without resorting to euphemisms annd innuendoes. In essence Mrs. Dennett Is not on trial so much as nature’s scheme for reproduction. I would not even insist that this is altogether masterly. Sex may be, as some have said, "the fundamental blunder ot creation.” Still not all the Sumners, Stratons and Wilkinsons have yet come forward with any feasible scheme for abolishing it. The twelve good men and true were asked in effect, “Is maternity a dirty and a shameful thing?” They decided that it was. It is against this opinion that an appeal is being made.
