The Day Today the special session of the legislature comes to an end under the limitation law. Exactly the same picture is presented as is given every two years at the regular session. The clocks will be stopped at midnight and there will be a hectic and frantic endeavor to push through some measure in the early morning hours. • . The plan of having the members agree upon a few tax saving bills, change some of the present methods of raising revenues and then adjourn in a few days failed as it was sure to fail when the clashing greeds of groups came to battle for advantage. The taxpayer will obtain some relief through the rutting of the cost of government in counties and in the state. For the most part the saving will come from reduced salaries to the poorly paid. The high salaried officials escape. The biggest saving comes through the diversion of gasoline taxes from th" highway commission to counties. This permits a real saving. That commission has demonstrated its own unfitness to handle the $25,000,000 which is given each year by the taxpayers. It has routed its roads in order to benefit politicians, who, in turn, favor the commission. It has given its contracts to favorites. It has permitted these contractors to pay starvation wages to workers. The members of the next legislature should seriously consider a change in the law which will abolish the present, board and place road building in the hands of an expert, who would be given a large enough salary to place him above temptation. Ail taxes finally come from the producer and consumer. The fight to relieve the farmer and small home owner has clashed with the power of huge industrialists and financiers who have their property in securities and plants. In the end, neither the plants and the securities will be worth much unless men get back to work. That is where this special session failed. It did nothing that would open the way to more work for the jobless. In the regular session unemployment will be the real problem and the question of taxation will be secondary in importance. If every citizen had a paying job, there would be no worries for the taxpayers. They will continue to have plenty of worries unless this happens.

Lame Ducks Yet Men and women are running for election to state legislatures this year on a variety of issues, but one question should be put to all candidates and should receive a clear answer before the voting. The lame duck amendment to the United States Constitution will be ratified or rejected by these new state legislators, who therefore become important far beyond the boundaries of their own jurisdiction. Each person seeking office should disclose his position on it. Whatever else is said and done during the campaign, this issue should remain foremost in the minds of voters in bestowing their support. Fourteen states have ratified the lame duck amendment, but thirty-four others still have to pass upon it. Tweftty-two of these must ratify it before it becomes part of the fundamental law. So far the amendment has received overwhelming approval, indicative of the deep-seated resentment against existing handicaps to representative government and a general desire that they be removed. There is no valid argument to be made in favor of letting defeated congressmen legislate, and interposing more than a year's delay between an expression of popular will and accomplishment of its wishes. Existing conditions only can work to the advantage of self-seeking politicians. Only carelessness now on the part of the people can prevent adoption of this urgently needed reform. Representative government has been criticised during the last year as never before in this country. Its future will depend in part upon our ability to correct at once this most glaring fault and give it a trial under fairer conditions.

From Little Things One workman, one drill, one slip tied up a whole subway and threw out of gear a day's life of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. Last week a busy section of New England suffered from sudden failure of the electric current from a big power house. A lineman went out and discovered that a bird carrying a small snake in its beak had dropped the snake across two wires, caused a short circuit and put the whole power system out cf business. It is a complicated, intricate life we lead. And the more complicated it becomes, the more it is at the mercy of small mishaps and derangements that starts trains or consequences. Yet mankind began to realize this in simpler times than ours, long before the now famous pistol shot in an obscure Serbian town waked the whole modern world to anew, terrible and lasting awareness of its interdependence. A century and a half ago old Ben Franklin crammed a treatise on the subject into the wellknown lines: For the want cf a nail the shoe was lost. For the want of a shoe the herse was lost. For the want of a horse the rider was lost, For the want of a rider the battle was lost. For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost— All for the want of a horseshoe nail. About all civilization and progress can do to thgt is indefinitely to elaborate, complicate and diversify it—making its meaning year by year more true.

C ongress Counts F. Scott Mcßride of the Anti-Saloon League has made a good point for the wets, and one they should heed. He says his organization is more interested in congressional races than in any other; in these, he explains, lies the big task of his league and other prohibitionists. And the other side of that, of course, is that in congressional contests lies the hope of those disgusted with present conditions, caused by efforts to enforce a police ordinance in the Constitution. Congress, alone, has the power, to propose amendments to the Constitution. Congress can modify the Volstead act to legalize beer and light wines. It is true that President Hooovor could and probably would veto a modification bill. But congress could override a presidential veto. There is power in this congress the country' is about to elect. There is. thus, power in your vote in the congressional races. A vote for a dry will postpone the modification and repeal showdown, which assuredly must come. A vote for a wet will hasten the final deo^ion.

Wanted: A Scientist The forced retirement of Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner of labor statistics of the United States department of labor, brings up the important question of his successor. Stewart is an expert of long experience, who refuses to allow political considerations to sway his findings. The job calls for another Stewart. Few functions of the government require such objective and disinterested treatment as that of getting labor facts. Lacking reliable labor statistics, congress would work blindly and business would be unable to chart a safe course. To color reports on wage cuts, employment, the cost of living, child labor or the five-day week, for instance, is to court social disaster. There have been such partisan political blunders in the past in some departments. Rumors are abroad that Stewart’s successor is to be named from the lame duck congressmen or other jobless camp followers of thp administration. The $7,700 salary makes it a fat plum. We trust these stories are untrue. Thpre are plenty of capable and experienced labor economists. For instance, such men as Leo Wolman and Carter Koodrich of Columbia university, Meredith Givens of the Social Science Research council, Isador Lubin of Brookings institution, Paul Douglas of the University of Chicago, Sumner Slichter of Harvard, and others. From among men of this type, Stewart’s successor should be chosen. At a time of profound social change and economic crises, it is more than ever urgent that this factfinding office be manned by a scientist, not by a political lame duck or quack.

In Accent Wild The Ottawa Journal complains that President Hoover didn’t speak English in his acceptance speech, but spoke "Americanese.” Instead of "revenue,” he talked of "revenoo"; instead of “constitution,” it was "constitootion.” Friends of Al Smith, remembering how the haughty Hooverites four years ago scoffed at his "raddio” and "woik,” will chuckle. Republicans, remembering how four years ago certain people were claiming that every time it rained in London, “ ’Erbert 'Oover turned up his bally trousers in Washington,” will laugh. The rest of us won’t care. We’ll be glad to have it called "revenoo’’ if there’s plenty of it. We’ll be satisfied with the “constitootion’’ if it isn’t made ridiculous by having prohibition in it.

Two wrestlers fell out of the ring in Boston and woie knocked unconscious simultaneously. But the really remarkable thing was that the observing referee noticed it and stopped the match. After an unsuccessful trip to a bank, one of the neighbors says that the only thing left he can borrow is trouble. A1 Capone is playing first base on the Atlanta penitentiary team. Well, he should be a good one to hold the bag. A college reports the enrollment of a man 70. He must have won that magazine scholarship at last. Another advantage of having one’s education in the College of Hard Knocks' is that you don't get a letter every so often asking if you will contribute your share to building anew ping-pong gym for Dear Old Whoozis. Just now it seems that both major political parties made a grave error by not coming out flatly for milder summers. Every unsuccessful candidate in Latin America has to make two races. First he runs for office and then he makes a race for the border. They say that Shakespeare never told the same story twice, but there's nothing unusual in that. Plenty of court witnesses have the same record. An English scientist is working on the theory that plants breathe. If he finds that they do, the onion's best friends should cast aside all scruples. The politicians keep hollering about restoring America to its true owners, but if they don’t hurry the Indians won’t take it off our hands. There is no question that the dollar of today goes much farther. The trouble is that it goes so far that it's usually out of reach. The senate committee's expose of Wall Street manipulations certainly is having its effect. Not even the fish are biting this year. The Great Lakes waterway is practically assured, All we have to do now is to find $600,000,000.

Just Every Day Sense By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

“Y\7'ASHINGTON MASQUERADE.” the newest ▼ Ymovie to expose governmental crookedness, mayhave given a true portrayal of lobby evils, but surely we are not expected to believe that our western senators are so susceptible to women's legs as was its hero. Lionel Barrymore. In this respect, at least, the film slandered Kansas. Really, the behavior of the men on the screen is naive. They do not merely succumb to feminine blandishments; they tumble. And. I suppose, to get it over to the 12-year-old intelligence of movie audiences, they tumble only to legs. Tile minuto the blonde lifts her skirt and we catch a glimpse of her knee, we know- what is going to happen to the great big he-man in the story. He already is a goner For he is sure to be a Victorian about legs, and always seems astonished and delighted to find that the women have them. It might be just as well for modern morals for us to cease our efforts to instruct the children in the facts of life and start in on the Hollyw'ood heroes. a a a ALTHOUGH they may be able to decide the fate of nations and solve the most intricate problems of statecraft, they seem utterly ignorant of feminine tricks. So far as the ladies are concerned, they are perfect Sir Galahads. All of which is just so much moving picture hooey. This sort of thing, of course, appeals to women. And as our sex makes up 70 per cent of audience, this form of flattery is extremely remunerative. We women love to believe in the potency of our claims. And history regales us with multitudes of just such tales. The power of the feminine knee to influence men has grown into a universal fable. And a fable it is. because we never must forget this girls: It is the brain, not the knee, that does the real work.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. Tracy Says:

What We Call Bumness Has Become the Driving Force of Human Progress. NEW YORK. Aug. 15.—Depression is the great political issue, not only here, but abroad. In every land people are supporting men and measures with the sole idea of restoring prosperity. Not only parties, but revolutions, are being formed on nothing more substantial than a promise to improve conditions. Governments are being threatened or overthrown for no other reason than failure to make good in this respect, Napoleon said that an army moves on its belly. Were he alive today he would broaden the statement to include civilization. What we call business, especially as it can be translated into creature comforts for average people, has become the driving force of human progress. That sums up the real change which has taken place since kingcraft, feudadism and superstition went by the board. Existing conditions make it hard to believe that trade once was held in contempt: that merchants, manufacturers and bankers were once considered low; that such things as wealth, prosperity and happiness once were regarded as attainable only through war.

History Omits Essentials ONE of our greatest handicaps in dealing with modern problems consists in the fact that history, as commonly written and commonly studied, does little to help us meet them. We have been gorged with the story of destroyers and strutters, while that of the builders, thinkers, and inventors has gone unnoticed. Naturally enough, we get the idea that there weren’t any builders, thinkers, and inventors until very recent times, and that the problems which we must solve are wholly new. They are, in the sense of complexity and elaboration, but not in the sense of principle. Like the great progressive events of today, those of all history were brought about by men and women who thought in constructive terms, who saw the real battle for improvement as between knowledge and ignorance. Had you lived in a world without saws, nails, or axes, you would have regarded their introduction with the same enthusiasm as you now regard that of radio or the airplane. Everything that separates us from the jungle, every instrument, method, or device that distinguishes us from animals, represents an achievement of the mind, and frequently of many minds.

Russia Shows Difference IN earlier ages people were forced to make progress at their own expense and frequently at great personal risk. If they succeeded in discovering or producing anything good it generally was confiscated by those in authority. The. idea that mass improvement was possible, much less desirable, was not tolerated. Russia furnishes a vivid illustration of how the human attitude has altered, and what its alteration implies. The Russian people may be under as rigid a discipline today as they were in the last year of Nicholas 11, may be taxed as heavily, but the purpose now is to improve their lot. Naturally enough, they see industry, system, discipline and taxation in a different light. Where they used to regard the goevrnment as an enemy, they now look upon it as a friend. Where they used to think of progress as something which they must achieve in spite of public policy, they now think of it as a part of public policy. nun Business Is Barometer WE have held such a view in this country for many years, though our system of government has little in common with Communism. We have thought of politics as beneficial, of prosperity as intimately associated with public policy. That is why good times, or bad, have played an important part in forming public opinion, and why they will continue to do so. We believe not only that public policy exercises a profound influence on business, but that if business falls off, there is something wrong with public policy. We believe this because business, as expressed in the production and distribution of improvements, is the force which has lifted us to a higher j plane of life.

Social Life Difficult for Stutterers

This is the second of two articles by Dr. Fishbein on stuttering. BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hvgeia, the Health Magazine. OBVIOUSLY, stutterers have difficulties in their social life. It is found that they prefer the society of one or two close friends or the impersonality of crowds to association with groups, of eight of ten acquaintances. Apparently, they prefer to be certain that they „are being genuinely accepted or’ else they prefer to remain unnoticed. It is obvious that seclusion mpans security against potential ridicule. The relative degree of severity of stuttering seems to be of greatest importance in determining the extent to which stutterers take part in social life. Severe cases seem to withdraw entirely from contact with other people. Nevertheless, like other people, stutterers attach great value to social approval. They may be timid, retiring, or aloof and sarcastic, but they try to get on with other people. In an attempt to evaluate some of the causes for stuttering Dr.

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor Times—All mental diseases called insanities undoubtedly are nothing more than deliria. Elach has a physical cause and in most cases the mental condition will not be relieved until the physical cause has been taken care of. In dementia precox, the insanity of youth, this same statement holds true. Only one case in a thousand will get well without the appropriate physical treatment. Overstudy, grief, shocks, religion, love, do not produce a mental sickness. We do not wear out, but we may rust out. The condition of dementia precox always is due to some physical abnormality which permits of auto or self-intoxication. As to just why some boys and girls are susceptible to this self-intoxication while others are not, we do not ktiow, any more than we know why some people become poisoned by handling ivy while others can play with it and never be harmed. However, the . fact remains that no case of dementia precox ever was found that did not have an abnormal physical condition in some form or other. The early discovery and appropirate removal or modification of the cause will permit the mental state to readjust itself to normalcy. The longer the discovery of the physical cause is delayed, with lack of complete removal of the cause, will delay the mental progress by just so much. An environment such as is considered normal and wholesome for any sick person is to be desired in dementia precox or any other form of mental sickness. Frequently some pseudo-scientist will break into print with a statement that mental sickness is due to being moon-struck or some other similarly ludicrous cause. In such

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

Wendell Johnson, who reports the result of investigations made at the University of lowa, attempted to find out the relationship of parents to children in cases of stuttering. Physicians find regularly that parents are likely to associate the beginning of any paralysis or disturbance that may take place in a child with a fright or shock or a fall. . In the same way parents who are asked about stuttering put most of the responsibility on frights and emotional shocks, on severe illnesses and injuries, on a lack of will power, the tendency to talk too fast or to think too fast, and even on tonguetie. A surprising number of parents think that stuttering is a stage through which every child must pass and which he will outgrow if let alone. Since the definite cause of the stuttering was not known to the parents, their attempts at prevention and treatment usually were full of folly. The child tries to meet its parents’ demands and will, on occasion, even simulate improvement to avoid punishment or gain reward. One stepmother whipped her

instance it is best that we remember that “the shoemaker should stick to his last.” Those who have spent their lives in the study of mental disorders know of no such occult causes entering into mental sickness. From earliest history we have read that the gods, the devil, the moon and other things have been cited as causes of mental sickness but the further we go, the more we are convinced that much more common everyday causes are at work, such as infected teeth and tonsils of, commonest of all. improper elimination of our intestinal canals. The correction of these conditions does more than anything else to help the mentally sick man back to his normal state. Every mentally sick patient should be taken to the family physician at the time the condition is discovered, or even suspected. HARRY H. M’CLELLAN, M. D. Former superintendent, Dayton state hospital. Editor Times—l wrote your papei expressing the opinion, and my reason for my opinion, that The Times was in error in criticising the police in their discovery of “speeders” who seek to take advantage of the absence of an officer to violate the law. Some person, evidently a speeder who violates in the absence of officers, calls me to account in your columns, and suggests that I probably am one who goes to the police to get my stickers “fixed.” For the information of “Dissenter” and his ilk, I will say that at no time have I ever asked the police to fix a “sticker” nor otherwise for the right to violate the law or special privilege. “Dissenter” suggests that the only penalty for the violation of the

stepson ten times a day for stuttering. The parents, of course, exhort their children and give them sympathy if they are timid and selfconscious, but in general this is not successful in relieving the stuttering. Most such cases demand careful study and treatment applied particularly to their conditions. Sometimes the stuttering is not alone responsible for the social maladjustments of the stutterer. A careful investigation of his psychology may reveal other factors which bear a considerable responsibility for his troubles of behavior and of personality. Nevertheless, the stuttering complicates every phase of his existence and occasionally when the investigator breaks through he sees the type of person that the stutterer might have been without his physical and mental disturbance. These mental disturbances are more likely to be intensified if the stuttering persists into advanced years. Sometimes the emotional disturbance is a contributing cause, and if this can be determined the stuttering may disappear with a Realization of the emotional disturbance.

speed law is for the policeman to ' bawl out” the offender, but from the deaths and injuries reported in the paper, it is my opinion that such a course has not proved sufficient. While "Dissenter” condemns the police for seeking the detection oi the violators of the law through preventing the presence of the officer being known. “Dissenter” hides behind an assumed pame for the purpose of making an unjustified attack upon me. The only inference from such a course on his part is the inference that he is one of those who seek to violate the law in the absence of the officer, does the acts through secrecy that he does not dare to do in the open, and that the fact that police may not make their presence known endangers his safety in such violations. I reiterate my position expressed in my prior communication, that the only way that the speed laws ever will be enforced is through the fear that an officer will observe the speed. RICHARD L. EWBANK, 933 State Life Building. Editor Times—As a member of the legislature who introduced House Bill 649, which bill I wrote myself, House Bill 682, of which I am coauthor. relative to taking municipaVly owned utilities from under control and management of the public service commission and putting such control of the cities and towns; and Bill 682, which gives the right to cities and towns to fix the rate, some Indianapolis papers and others over the state have raised the question of politics in the various communties if these bills should become a law. I have not heard of a taxpayer objecting to these bills in my county, but I have been lobbied several times by the utilities, who are afraid, as they say that publicly owned utilities would work to the building up a political machine in the various communities. Could anything be more absurd? Could there be any more of a political machine than now exists in the public service commission of Indiana? The fact about it is that the public service commission, unless it gets on the side of the people and that right away, should be abolished. Unless there is the improvement that the commission give the people a square deal, it will be abolished in the regular session of the general assembly next winter. What a God's blessing it is that the people of Indiana at last are awakening. There are some other commissions in that statehouse that need the same kind of a shaking up. It will be an innovation in legislation that will help save our homes. It must come if government is to last in this country. H. H. EVANS, Representative. A

IT SEEMS TOME By Heywood Broun

An Old Aroma Begins to Permeate the Air. I Think I Catch the Heady' Scent of Burning Copper Storks. THE barber said, ‘'He got a hundred shares at l'a, and this morning it touched 5." I thought, "Are we going to go through al that again?" The answer which I supplied to myself was instantaneous. "We certainly are.” After the crash of 1929, many publicists held that everybody had learned a tragic lesson and that never, never again would the people of America indulge in wild and reckless speculation in the stock market. We still are a long way off from the days when every office boy and elevator operator was ticker conscious. But an old aroma begins once more to permeate the air. I think I catch the heady scent of burning copper stocks. It would be a harsh man indeed who would grudge America some small return of better times, but it is tragic to contemplate a nation once again putting on spiked shoes to sprint down some cliff into the sea.

For Members Only Moreover, i wish that there might be wider public recognition of the limitations of that barometer which is called Wall Street. I have heard men speak as if every problem of poverty were near solution merely because Steel has climbed from 20 up to 40. It is well to remember that even if it climbed to forty times 40, there would still would be millions without shoes or shelter. The benefits of a bull market tend in the long run to trickle down to the submerged. But, since so many eat and sleep and have their being in short runs, I am not willing to accept the recent activities on the upside as sufficient reason for dancing in the streets and general Jubilation. There probably are some excellent reasons to be advanced against the instinct for gambling, but I am hardly the man to make them. And yet it seems to me that we live in a community which permits topsyturvy ethics in the whole matter. If a citizen of New York has a strong hunch that Gusto is a better horse than Top Flight he will not be completely frustrated in his desire to back his inclination. But he must find a bookmaker who knows him and whisper surreptitiously into that geptlcman’s ear. The law, as it stands, holds that the transaction is illegal and antisocial. But the same man may bet as much, as openly and as often as he pleases upon the printing potentialities of copper, cotton, oil or wheat. Even at the height of the last gambling orgy in which we all took part, lotteries, roulette and poker remained beyond the pale. Mr. Calvin Coolidge consented to stand outside the Casino and make a public proclamation that brokers’ loans were not too high. And on that same day I have no doubt that in various parts of the country men were arrested because they shilled for three-card monte. To be sure, in three-card monte the player has no chance at all. Still, in the Wall Street scramble, I imagine, very few who started with a shoestring ended with as much as either tassel.

Bets Upon the Vitalities I HAVE a notion that in the long run it is actually more moral and less anti-social to have gambling confined to such things as cards and lottery tickets and a small revolving ball than to take out a normal instinct in bets on grains and metals and foodstuffs by which the nation lives. I do not mean to be sanctimonious in the matter. Once upon a time I owned ten shares of Gold Dust. Nor is it my notion now that the recent rise in securities has been entirely artificial. Some have said that the whole thing constituted a Republican plot designed to rc-elect Mr. Hoover. I have less faith than that in the capacity of the President. I doubt that he can move markets. At least, I do not think that he can put them up. If this lay within his power, he would have done it long ago. Again, I do not see eye to eye with those economists who argue that no rise is justified until earnings have improved. Wall Street is not a barometer of tomorrow or the next day. but of six months hence. Usually its predictions are more accurate than that of any single individual. And right now it seems to me that there is evidence that this composite intelligence called Wall Street has decided that things are going to be better by 1933.

Better for Whom? BUT before any of us join in public rejoicing it might be well to ask the pertinent question, ‘ Better for whom?" And we also might give time to consider whether there is any sanity in a system which imposes a periodic stumble into mud and misery. I received the other dav a card which proudly proclaimed that Uncle Sam had conquered twenty major depressions and would also lick this one. „ I wondered whether it wouldn’t be a little more sensible for Uncle Sam to get after the habit rather than the immediate seizure. I used to know a man who had spells of malaria. He said that he took quinine and that it was a sure cure for everything but the first attack. And so before we grow too enthusiastic about the new spin of the prosperity chariot, let us just look and see how much room has been provided in the rumble seat. (Coovrleht. 1932. bv The Timeai
