RECOVERY BILL CALLS FOR REVOLUTIONARY CHANGES IN U. S. ECONOMIC SYSTEM Abandons Venerated Idea That Man Must Be Free to Do as He Pleases in Pursuit of Profits; Ends Rule by Industry. BY RI'TH FINNEY. Timra Snrriai Writer WASHINGTON. May 25—Feverish to-do in Washington over the levying of anew tax is masking the timid concern of a congress face to face with what may prove the most momentous economic decision of its history. The tax is a small part of the national recovery bill. Other sections call for departure from the economic path America always has followed and a start down anew road; abandonment of the old venerated idea that every man must be free to do as he pleases in the pursuit of property and profits, and recognition of a new principle of mutual interdependence. The implications of the change have left congress bewildered. It is accustomed to the problem of taxes, and knows what to say about them, so it talks taxes.

If President Roosevelt purposely left the tax question undetermined and fixed a time limit for its consideration in order that congress might have no chance to worry about the broader question, his plan is succeeding. With the recovery bill, this country turns its face toward a planned national economy. Control Over Production Nineteen months ago a proposal by Senator Robert M. La Follette i Rep., Wis.Y, for creation of an economic council, advisory in character and confined largely to research work, was view with alarm by business and financial leaders summoned to Washington to discuss it before the senate manufactures committee, and scornfully was ignored by most of congress and the administration. Today the national recovery bill proposes that, the government shall have the right, to consider and decide how r much production is desirable for the country—production of shoes and hats as well as natural resources—and shall have the right to determine fair prices, rates for wages to employes and the length of working hours. "The bill makes explicit the principle that all business is charged with a public interest," says Senator Robert F. Wagner <Dcm„ N. Y.), one of the authors of the bill, and against the background of old thinking his statement sounds revolutionary. Industry Backs Measure In the past, only utilities were recognized as vested with public interest. Today regulation of all business, less explicit than utility regulation in some respects, more so in others, is proposed. Voluntary regulation first, but behind the voluntary organization stands the whole strength of the government ready to act if necessary. The whole-hearted accord wfith W'hich industry and labor are supporting this measure is one of the strangest spectacles Washington has seen in years. Business men who have shuddered at the idea of government price fixing in any form, labor men who have asked only freedom to fight their own battles through exercise of their economic power, have both gone on record in support of the new plan. "To the friends who say to me; ‘Where are we. going if this bill is passed?’ I answer, ‘where are we going if it is not passed?’ says Henry I. Harriman, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Bill Has Two Parts Harriman and other industrialists, who support the bill, see in it the only means by which they can hope for increased prices and increased profits. Labor sees in the bill its only hope for higher wages, better standards of living, regularity of employment. It took more than two months to draft the measure that is able to command this remarkably diverse support. Men representing the points erf view of both industry and labor participated. President Roosevelt remained noncommittal until the measure was completed, though members of his official family rendered assistance in its preparation. The bill has two parts. A $3,300,000,000 program of public works is provided as an immediate frontal attack on unemployment, a "shot in the arm” for a dangerously sick patient. Normal Work Is Aim The more far-reaching half of the bill is designed to provide normal work for people in their own occupations and their own communities, through rehabilitation of industry, and the method of rehabilitation is this: Industries are invited to agree among their membership on codes of fair competition which shall include a limit on the amount of goods to produced, stipulation as to *TTSe hours which each plant shall work and the minimum wages it shall pay, and finally the price to be charged. Such codes are not affective until approved by the President of the United States. Once approved, they may be enforced as law upon rebel minorities in an industry as well as an agreeing majority. And if no agreement is reached by the business men themselves, the government is authorized to make determinations of its own and en-

force them. If necessary, it is authorized to license business. What of the anti-trust laws which we have venerated for so many years? What of organized labor’s hardwon advantages, and unorganized labor's pitiful defenselessness? What can we look forward to in the future under the new plan for industry? The answers are gradually emerging as congressional committees study the bill. Next—Franklin Roosevelt tries to carry out anti-trust law intentions of his famous predecessor in the White House.

Women’s Army Mrs. Roosevelt Drives for Their Enrollment in Forestry Camps.

/?// r nit rd Pres* WASHINGTON. May 25. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt believes destitute women might w r ell be given jobs in the government's reforestation corps along wdth thousands # of unemployed men. She does not envision the W'omen swinging axes or building trails, but believes there is much work they could do in nurseries where the government raises seedlings to be transplanted later in the forests. Mrs. Roosevelt has asked Labor Secretary Perkins to investigate the possibility of establishing feminine work camps. She said Mr. Roosevelt had told her there were no'legal obstacles which would prevent enlistment of women in the corps. HONOR LAST_ SURVIVOR G. A. R. Veteran to Be Guest of . Legionnaires Sunday.

WHALE BATTLES BUOY Clash, Witnessed by Many, Ends in "Defeat” for Monster. Bn l nil id Press SANTA CRUZ, Cal., May 25. When the tumult of waves lashed to a foam had subsided and a huge, disgruntled whale had departed, a buoy, the victor in a marine combat, whistled in hoarse defiance. The battle between th 'whistling buoy and the monster of the deep was observed by many persons from the vantage points of wharves and cliffs alongshore—the whale spouting and jumping high out of the j water. The buoy evidently was the object of attack, but emerged from the affray unscathed.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

STATE TO GET. SI .700,000 U. S. HIGHWAY FUNDS Way Is Paved for Signing of Long-Pending Road Contracts in Indiana. Way was paved today for signißg of long-pendng state hghway paving contracts totaling $1,700,000 by an announcement from Washington that the federal sums for this amount will be available. The announcement came in a telegram to Charman James D. Adams of the commission from Congressman Louis Ludlow. It quoted the director of the federal budget as saying that this amount, due Indiana in federal aid but held up during the reforestation expenditures, is forthcoming. Having received bids several weeks ago and having the contracts all ready to sign, Adams asked Ludlow to find out about the funds. All the contracts are under federal specifications and will ce entirely financed through federal funds, Adams said. This has nothing to do with new federal aid to be received througn the relief measure now pending in congress, whicn totals $400,000,000 and allots more than $10,000,000 to Indiana for the next two years, Adams explained. One of the exhibits at the Chicago fair will be an electric model of a cow which appears to breathe, moo, and even to give milk (drawn from a tank).
