A Barrier to Progress Indiana’s present Constitution falls to meet the progressive needs of this state. That Is a fact which should be strikingly evident to every Intelligent voter of the state. And. on Nov. 4, every voter should mark his cross opposite "Yes” on the proposal "Are you in favor of convening a constitutional convention in the year 1931?” The present Constitution was adopted In 1851. It was drafted to meet the conditions of eighty years ago. Since that date all ordinary conditions under which we live have changed as they never before had changed over a stretch of centuries. Th present Constitution stands as a barrier to progress in many ways, but there are four outstanding instances. These are the revision of taxation laws, school laws and municipal government laws and reorganization of the judiciary'. The people of Indiana are bound hand and foot by their archaic Constitution when it comes to relief from any of the out-of-date laws which govern these important public institutions. Their complaints now against tax laws are futile. But with a Constitution brought up to date, these laws so could be revised that the tax load would be redistributed, taxes reduced on homes, real estate and farm lands, personal property classified and a tax placed on-intangibles that would be fair to-all. The school laws so could be amended that the schools would be taken out of politics, which has cursed the administration of education in this state for many years. They could be revised so that the superintendent of public instruction could be elected for a longer term than the present totally inadequate one of two years, or could be appointed by the Governor. They could eliminate waste in buying, waste in pay rolls, waste in every other division of education now so glaringly apparent. The municipal government regulations so could be changed that the legislature would not waste half its time at every session in settling disputes that rightfully should be decided by the municipalities themselves, thus devoting the time which it should to state business. The judiciary could be reorganized to eliminate waste of time and money in jury selection and delays in Justice, now a disgrace to the state. In these and myriad other ways, a constitutional convention would benefit the state. Opponents of the convention contend that “the time is not ripe,” citing economic conditions as a reason for delay—a thin and flimsy argument. These same depressing economic conditions have made the people think. Now is the time when they can take up a problem of this nature in a spirit of calm, sober deliberation. The time certainly is more appropriate than it would be were the state riding the crest of a prosperity wave, when the sentiment always is that this Is a good old world Just as it stands. Foes of the convention declare that the cost would te too great, estimating that it would reach two or three millions. What if it does reach that sum? Redistribution t f the tax load and the millions which would be added to the state treasury through making those who now dodge taxes pay their just share of the cost of state government would repay it tenfold. There is no sound argument against the convention. Remember that when you go to the polls Nov. 4. The Man for the Job President Hoover could not have made a better choice than Colonel Arthur Woods to head the new federal unemployment relief organization. Woods has a national reputation as an able administrator and public leader. He knows how to work with people and to get things done quickly. His achievements as police commissioner of New York City and as organizer of unemployment relief in 1919 and in 1921 were noteworthy. Even though he is handicapped by a late start in this emergency, Woods can do wonders if the administration will cut red tape and give him vigorous cooperation. Serving Two Masters In large public utility organizations an executive often serves as an officer of many affiliated companies, makes contracts with himself for floating bond issues or constructing power plants, buys advice from himself at a large fee, and underwrites himself for a substantial consideration. But it has remained for Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur of California to introduce a somewhat similar practice into the government service. Wilbur is president of Stanford university, on leave, but still drawing salary and retaining control over university policies. He also is secretary of interior and a member of the federal power commission. The relation between Wilbur's private and public positions is interesting. Stanford university has invested seven million dollars in public utility bonds, aoout a fourth of its income-producing endowment. It is a much larger sum than'the university so had Invested before Dr. Wilbur became president. A large proportion of the university trustees now are public utility officials. Asa member of the federal power commission Wilbur has a great deal to say on matters affecting the profits of public utility companies. For instance, the power commission has the final right to determine what expenditures properly can be included in the capital accounts of utility companies. Sums in dispute often are as great as thirty or forty million dollars. The amount of capitalization usually is reflected in a company's rates; always in recapture proceedings. Today the power commission has before it a request of the Appalachian Electric Power Company to build a power plant free from all ordinary regulation of capitalization accounts and of security issues. This company already has succeeded in freeing itself of license requirements of the state in which it is going to build. Appalachian Electric power is one of the utilities in which Wilbur's Stanford university has invested its money. v Can Wilbur be, at the same time, a conscientious custodian of Stanford endowment funds and of the public power resources? A short time ago it was doubtful whether the senate would confirm Roy O. West as secretary of interior because he once had been attorney for a power organization. West was confirmed for a term of a few months after he had explained that he expected to refrain from acting on matters affecting the company with which he had been affiliated. William M. Jardlne, another college president, resigned from Kansas State Agricultural college before he became secretary of agriculture, and a member, also, of the federal power commission. t t When Andrew Mellon became secretary Jpireas-

ury he resigned as president of the Mellon National bank of Pittsburgh and as director of various other corporations. Many other recent cabinet members have resigned from private portions when they entered the public service. Wilbur apparently does not feel this course of action is necessary. Perhaps the explanation is lo be found in a kind and friendly article about him written by Will Irwin for Washington, the new Republican propaganda weekly. “It was just impossible to realize that the boy had grown to manhood,” said Irwin. \ The Jews Protest Great Eritain, by a restatement of policy, has betrayed her pledge to support and protect the development of a Jewish national homeland in Palestine, according to the Jewish leaders. In protest Dr. Chaim Weizmann has resigned as president of the Jewish Agency and of the Zionist World Organization, Lord Melchett has resigned as chairman of the Agency council, Felix M. Warburg has resigned as chairman of the Agency administrative committee, and the American Jewish congress has condemned the action of the London government. Neutral observers naturally find it easier than the Jews to understand London’s point of view. Great Britain feels that she must guard the interests of the constitute most of the population. This , responsibility always Is uppermost in the mind of London, not only as a matter of justice to the Arabs, but because of British imperial interests. After all allowances are made, however, there is no denying that Britain has let down the Jews. Britain knew the cost when, during the war, she issued the Balfour declaration for a Jewish homeland; if she did not intend to pay the price she should not have made the bargain.' For better or for worse, this is one war-time pledge on which Britain can not welch with safety. The Jews of the world have put too much labor, and faith, and money into their national homeland to be deprived of it at this late day, without causing Britain endless trouble. The Simpson report and the London government’s covering white paper certainly have blasted the foundations of the homeland by seriously curtailing Jewish immigration and Jewish purchase of Arab lands. The Jews can not be blamed for interpreting this latest move against them in the light of past failures of the British government in Palestine to protect them from Arab massacres—a British failure attested by the recent critical report of the League of Nation’s mandates commission. ... Jewish Agency, the official recognized public body charged with co-operation with the mandate power, should lose no time in appealing from the London decision to Geneva on the grounds that the intent of the mandate has been violated. This is not the first Incident, nor Palestine the first country, to raise questions in the neutral mind as to the justice of the value of the entire mandates system. Why should Great Britain, or the United States, or any other one nation for that matter, be given arbitrary power to rule over alien peoples? In this case, obviously self-government would mean Arab domination over the Jews. But if an impartial outside administration is required, can not that be provided better by a truly international administration than by a colonial British government? Even If Wlckersham’s proposal to flog racketeers is carried into effect, the chances are great some will win immunity because of rheumatism or lumbago. Old Ironsides is to be sent soon from Boston to Chicago for a visit. Just to show the old frigate, perhaps, that she hasn’t seen her toughest battles yet. Maybe that western university which proposes a time clock for co-eds who go out on dates merely wants to Insure them all of a good time. Indication that Boston is on the up and up Is seen in the report that a newspaper there, which has run a chess column for sixteen years, has abandoned it to devote more space to backgammon. One consolation a harassed husband has in eating out is that he has an opportunity to give an order.

REASON

THE most interesting political battle in the country is being waged in Pennsylvania. Gifford Pinchot, Republican candidate for Governor. is opposed by President Atterbury of the Pennsylvania railroad and other Republican leaders. tt tt tt These leaders do not like Pinchot’s declaration for a more rigid regulation of public utilities and will support the Democratic candidate, who has declared for regulation a., is. Pinchot long has been a leader in the nationwide movement for utility control and for public ownership, where practicable. tt tt a His stand on this question would elect him by a huge majority, but he is also running as a dry and Pennsylvania is supposed to be several degrees wetter than the Atlantic ocean. And his opponent is wet. tt tt a PINCHOT long has been a colorful figure, having first entered politics at the invitation of Roosevelt, who put him in charge of conservation. In this position he held over in the Taft administration and soon locked horns with Ballinger, secretary of the interior. a a a He is very rich and enjoys the distinction of being one of the very few representatives of wealth who takes the public's side in economic and industrial matters. His election would make him the most powerful force in Pennsylvania and it would give the independents a great boost. a m a There are many who think that *the day is not remote when parties will be reorganized along the lines of economic and industrial liberalism, which would split both organizations up the back. Sure it is that we can not forever go on with two parties standing for practically the same thing. tt THE prohibition issue will not bring about this reorganization of parties, for while both of them are widely divided about it, we will not hav- a national campaign with one of the great parties wet and the other one dry. Both will keep their eyes peeled for popular feeling and you will find them both in the same boat, whether it be tight or leaky. a a Pinchot is a game fighter; he fights alone and likes it and he has shown keen foresight, for the only times he defied the machine he oeat it for the nomination and that's going some in Pennsylvania.

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

When You Get Right Down to Brass Tacks Our Greatest Loss in This Degression Is in Nerves and Morale. Roanoke, va., Oct. 23.— The Blue Ridge mountains are bluer than ever this fall. When seen from a sufficiently great distance, they almost blend with the sky. The phenomenon is due to smoke. Less of that smoke is coming from stacks than usual, but vastly more is coming from forest fires. Whenever you come close, the landscapes take on a parched and withered aspect. Fields are not only brown, but sere, while trees and shrubs seem to be gasping for life. This whole section has been afflicted with one of the worst droughts on record, and the plight of farmers has come to be regarded as even a more serious problem than unemployment. a a a ' Water Is Sold IHAVE passed through a dozen towns during the last few days with signs posted along the roadside telling tourists where they could get “safe water.” I have been in communities where water was hauled anywhere from one to ten miles, and where it was sold as high as 5 cents a glass. And this is no desert, either. Under ordinary circumstances, it is as green and luxuriant as New England or northern New York, but 1930 has seen its rainfall shrivel by 60 per cent, if not more. Crops have turned out an utter failure on hundreds of thousands of acres, cattle have had to be sent away, while millions of feet of fine timber have gone up in smoke. # # Fear for Winter VIRGINIA newspapers are saying that this winter promises to be the worst since reconstruction days, and are urging the adoption of prompt measures for relief, but their tone is business like, rather than excited. 6ne senses little inclination to fall for cheap, ready-made remedies, to suppose that the situation can be cured by singing “happy days are here again,” or raise big funds, without first considering who will get the benefit. Like most other states, Virginia is giving attention to the possibility of highway construction, but with special emphasis on rural, or second grade, roads, where most of the work is done by hand. That’s an important idea, when you come to think of it. It's the common man who needs help in this emergency, and he doesn’t get so much if the bulk of the money goes for tractors, mixers, and steam shovels. Some of the improvements and appropriations being recommended in the name of relief, and, with the best of intentions, mean more to big boys than to little ones. u s u Look to Future ANOTHER phase of the problem which Virginia people appear to understand is, that no matter what, or how much, they may do for temporary relief, they can not hope to remedy the situation, except by putting business back where it was. , That, too, is an important idea. We must get back where we were, in principle at least, to get anywhere, and no measure should be adopted without such end in view. In so far as possible, people should be given the kind of work to which they are accustomed, instead of being thrust into places they are unfit to fill. In so far as possible, efforts should be directed toward the rehabilitation of old enterprises and activities, rather than toward the starting of new ones. In so far as possible, every description of business should be encouraged to resume and carry on, instead of taking a day off, while some government agency steps into the breach. n n n Our Morale Is Shaky THERE is no discounting the fact that we lost a lot in the stock crash, a lot more through the slump in foreign trade, a lot more because of the drought, and a lot more as the result of unemployment. But when you ret right down to brass tacks, our greatest loss is In the realm of nerve and morale. Where is that robust courage, that untrammeled faith, that never-say-die spirit that dared tc bet its last dollar arid all it could borrow on stock which never had paid a dividend when Wall Street was dancing to the tune of eight millionshare days? I am not talking to those who went broke, or lost their jobs, but to those who have plenty left, who are more scared than hurt, who could do far more than they are doing if they only would.

BERNHARDT’S BIRTH —October 23 ON Oct. 23, 1845, Sara.i Bernhardt, great French tragic actress, was born at Paris. Her parents were Jewish, but she was educated at a convent. She made her first appearance on the stage in 1862, but attracted little attention. Three years later, however, she became an overnight favorite by her playing of the part of the queen in Victor Hugo’s Ruy Bias. The Franco-Prussian war interrupted her career, and for a while she became a nurse. In 1879 she had a famous season in London By this time her reputation as the greatest actress of her day was securely established. She then toured with great success all the principal countries of Europe and North and South America. In January, 1914, the Legion of Honor was conferred upon her. During the World war she played at the front despite the fact she could no lenger walk or stand unaided, an accident having led to the amputation of a leg. “Endowed with a matchless voice,” as one critic wrote, she had a “remarkable gift of artistic poise and movement” She was Also a painter and sculptor and wrote two plays in addition to a volume of memoirs.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Skin Eruptions Often Disease Signal

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. , IT has been said again and again A that the skin is the mirror of the body. There are numerous diseases affecting the human being as a whole in which eruptions appear on the skin as one of the signs of the disturbance. yin typhoid fever, there is an eruption which appears on the abdomen, chest and back from the seventh to the ninth day. In pneumonia the form of blister that is called a fever sore occurs around the mouth in 40 per cent of the cases. Tuberculosis has all sorts of manifestations upon the skin, as do also the more serious of the disorders known as social diseases.

IT SEEMS TO ME

TRE seems to be a current belief that the world may find an airway to salvation. Orators urge us to become plane-conscious. Fervent appeals are made to the women of the land to take up flying. People who refuse to avail themselves of the new means of transportation are looked upon not only as craven, but in some way seditious. Possibly I am merely echoing the old prejudice which went down fighting under the wheels of the locomotives, but I think that aviation still must prove itself a boon to man. At the moment, the score stands against the new invention. There is blood upon the fuselage. At present the airplane’s chief importance is that of anew engine of war. It was the plane which carried death and destruction behind the lines to the noncombatants. This, to be sure, may prove a factor in the establishment of peace. Possibly nations will kindle less quickly under the realization that neutral zones have been abolished, and that another conflict would find even the most secluded hamlet a city of the front. tt m m What’s the Rush? BUT it seems to me that time must wipe out the memory of the young dead in shattered cities before we begin to worship the flying machine as a benficent thing. And there must be considered, too, the toll of those swallowed up in the sea and broken in lonely forests. These men and women have given their lives that the airplane might survive and flourish. What price aviation? No one fairly can answer that question unless he is able to foretell the kind of world in which he will be living fifty years hence. If the plane is to exist chiefly as a device for making war more widespread and terrible, then I say it were better if the Wrights never had risen on that first hop at Kittyhawk. Such barriers to conflict as the wide oceans have been obliterated by the potential radius of the bomber. And if an American vaults the broad expanse from here to Rome or Paris, his journey can not be set down as a good will flight without certain reservations. Each new exploit sets the men in the war colleges to preparing fresh figures and shaping plans to meet the practicality of world-wide war. It would be silly to deny that the airplane may serve to enrich life and living. It can wipe out boundaries and mountain chains for warlike purposes, but this same conquest of the wide spaces could serve to emphasize a feeling of international solidarity. The vision of a united world no longer is fantastic. Even within our time it may be possible to span the globe between sunrise and sunset. In another century there will remain no such thing as an isolated people. , MUM Catching Up BUT I think that it is very essential that political thought should keep pace with development in flying. As yet It lags. There are corn-fed statesmen who still speak as if Europe were a remote continent and no concern of ours. When next some gentleman from 1 Kansas speaks of Washington's farewell address and his counsel

Hog Tied!

Indeed, so frequent and so varied are the skin manifestations of these two diseases that medical students are instructed again and again to look for other manifestations < of tuberculosis and of syphilis whenever a skin eruption not easily diagnosed is seen. In scarlet fever, the eruption appears at the end of the first or the beginning of the second day of the disease. It first is seen on the neck and chest and rapidly spreads to other parts of the body. The eruption of scarlet fever, as the name of the disease indicates, is a bright scarlet. In chickenpox, the eruption appears within the first twenty-four hours and rapidly develops into little blister-like spots, mostly upon the trunk. These come out in crops over a period of several days.

against entangling alliances I think it might be well f6r someone in the audience to. remind the oratoi; that our great founder could not have known of the Zeppelin and the airplane and the new conception of geography which they make imperative. Until good will and a disposition to co-operate becomes a little keener I would be content to see aviation mark times and wait for the statesman to catch up with new developments. It is inevitable that flying should go on to new triumphs and new glories, but for the life of me I can not see the need of haste. Just

Editor Times—What the country needs today is not a good 5-cent cigar, as Thomas Marshall said, but a complete change of party government in nation, state and county; a change from the policy that is converting the wealth and money power of the nation into the hands of the protected and privileged few to a policy of equal justice and equal opportunity for all men. For ten years the party in power has had complete and uninterrupted control of all branches of the government, and during that time of vaunted prosperity, fabulous fortunes and great wealth hvae been massed into the hands of a favored few. And today, at Jhe end of this most prosperous period in the history of our county—so claimed by the party in power—where stand the farmer, laborer, merchant, big and little, and the masses of the people? Let them speak for themselves, as they stnad idle, their small savings vanishing as they look into a future filled with uncertainty and dread. Should the party in power be held responsible for the present condition of the people in this country today? Was it not placed in power on its own assumption that it was the creator of prosperity, and when Herbert Hoover, during the last campaign, was heralded to the American public as the greatest business genius, the mightiest apostle of prosperity, the country yet had seen, did he not modestly admit his infallibility by his silence? One thing the party has done, one promise has been kept: the farmer has been placed on an equality with industry; not by improving his condition, but by bringing industry down to the farmer’s level. • A VOTER. Editor Times— We all have read of the wonderful gift to the Community Fund by the officers and employes of the Real Silk company, and it behooves all of us who enjoy steady. employment to double our gift this year, i n view of the thousands out of employment and actually hungry at this time. This fund is a strictly charity fund, or should be, in view of existing conditions, and what we would like to see published in your paper is why the following organizations are going to take food and shelter away from the hungry this winter: Boys’ Club, $12,200; Boy Scouts $18,500; Camp Fire Girls, $5,000; Girl Scouts, $7,250; Indorsers of Photoplays, $400; Woman’s Improvement Club, $4,000; Y.

In measles, the patient usually breaks out on the third or the fourth day with dark red velvetyspots on the face and these rapidly spread over the trunk and the extremities. m One of the signs of measles are bluish white specks surrounded by a red ring w’hich can be seep in strong daylight on-the lining of the cheeks and lips. These are known as koplik spots. There are many industries in which ‘the use of chemicals will produce strange swellings on the hands and splashing sometimes results in similar marks upon the skin elsewhere on the body. Almost invariably, any serious disease of the blood manifests itself by a change in the appearance of the skin.

what is served by new risks and new fatalities in trans-Atlantic ventures I do not comprehend. Each missing plane seems to :ne a sacrifice in vain. As yet developments in flying are a shade onesided. Speed is being increased with great rapidity. We know that machines ma, be built to travel more than 300 miles an hour. Somewhat less attention has been paid to stability. The news columns chronicle all too often the death of veteran pilots who have crashed for reasons unexplained. A little less haste and more safety would be welcomed. (Copyright. 1930. by The Times)

The above organizations do some good, but not to the extent of $168,125 of the public’s money, originally donated to provide food and other comforts to the poor. There no doubt are thousands who would give more, but who do not approve of the large expenditures as noted above. We, the public, have nothing to say about how this is proportioned by those in charge, and who, no doubt, would be called upon for contributions to maintain the Y. M. C. A. and kindred organizations. Let’s hear something about this in your paper. If we are to hear anything, it will have to appear in The Times. What did the Y. M. C. A. ever give away, other than advice? It maintains a lot of handshaking brothers on good salaries, but that does not help the poor fellow out of work, with a family to feed and clothe.

SCIENCE —BY DAVID DIETZ

The Brush Inquiry Has for Its Purpose the Betterment of Human'Stock. THE two-day session of leading scientists held recently In Cleveland by the Brush Foundation to discuss tljp problems of qdplescence will lay the groundwork for research into that vital subject. Tire foundation, formed by the late Charles F. Brush, famous inventor of the arc lamp, is devoted to study of the problems of race betterment. At the present time, the foundation Is carrying on a five-year study, known as the Brush inquiry, to evaluate the importance of heritage in human development. “In drawing up the deed of gift which established the foundation, Dr. Brush laid special emphasis upon the betterment of population, not upon welfare, not even upon improvement of our lot,” Dr. T. Wingate Todd, professor of anatomy at the Western Reserve Medical school and director of the foundation, says. “Asa very practical philanthropist, he would not make life easier, but better prepare mankind to meet the conditions of life. He saw a vision of healthier bodies, stronger minds, more balanced judgments. “If such improvement could be made, all other attributes would follow in its train.” U 8 tt Goal of Inquiry THE goal of the Brush Inquiry. Dr. Todd says, was indicated by the deed of gift under which Dr. Brush set up the foundation. “Therein we read,” he says, “that the foundation was established “to finance efforts contributing toward betterment of human stock and toward regulation of the increase of population, to the end that children shall be begotten only under conditions which make possible a heritage of mental and physical health, and a favorable environment.” “That word heritage is important. It means more than inheritance, more than heredity. It refers to the possessions of the child for which his parents are responsible. It was never Dr. Brush’s thought to limit his gift to an endeavor which might break down in philosophic confusion between heredity and environment. “The problem of the inquiry then is the registration and analysis of heritage. To what extent the parents influence their child through the germplasm and to what extent through family environment is by no means clear. Nor can we segregate these influences if we sit down before the grown man or woman who is handicapped with all the scars, both of' heredity and environment. “If, however, we take the child before environment has had time to mold him, and watch him grow to maturity, we may solve the problem. At least we shall have the necessary data upon which to base our practical efforts.” u u a Scientific Attack DR. TODD believes that a scientific attack upon ti e problem is the only one which promises success. “Since mankind is the direct object of our concern, not the environment,” he continues, “it is his physical body and brain, the physical counterpart of his mind, which must engage our attentipn. “The popular theme of discovering a well-begotten type and attempting to construct all mankind in that image is the despair of the honest eugenist, the opportunity of charlatans. “We take the child and analyze him as best we may. We wish the molding influence of life upon him. Damage which we have seen in progress we may circumvent in others; and help them to attain a maturity of greater promise. “Heritage has its physical psychic, spiritual and social aspects, but we can understand the workings of the mind only if we learn how to make the mind register its action in some physical way. “Physical registration is the compass by which we steer our progress through the little known and uncharted regions of psychic, spiritual, social investigation. “Thanks to the very practical help of the Cleveland health council and co-operation of the Cleveland board of education, we are beginning to get a very clear understanding of the natural growth and development of the child. “We are obtaining definite information on delay or acceleration of bodily growth and mental development and upon the causes of these conditions which have confused previous workers so thoroughly that refuge has been sought in an assumed natural great variability,” How many American Red Cross nurses lost their lives In Europe in | the World war? 292.
