SATURDAY. JAW 77. 1934 A GOOD JOB TNDIANA salute* Arizona. John Dillinger. Russell Clark. Charles Makely and Harry Pierpont are locked up awaiting punishment for their stupid and brutal crimes. • It is refreshing to find that the west still knows how to deal with bad men. In fact, Dillinger and his pals with their expensive baggage, their trick clothes, and their female companions must have seemed rather insipid to Arizona police. After all, it was not many years ago that Arizona had some bad men who were really tough. No silk shirts, machine guns and “gun molls" for them. They rode hard, shot straight, and laid down their lives rather than submit to capture. Although their morals were of the worst they certainly had courage. Dillinger folded up meekly when he was caught. There has been too much nonsense written about the modern gangster. He has ho real courage. Any one can be brave with a machine gun in his hands. There is nothing gallant about shooting a man from a swiftly moving automobile. In fact, Dillinger did not even show the nerve of a rat, which will fight when cornered. It is a pity that Indiana was unable to clean up this foul nest of criminals. The authorities did work hard, but their efforts came to naught. Arizona did it and our hats are off to the police and firemen of that state for real headwork and courage. NOT ENOUGH TAXES! proposed tax bill is inadequate. The A ways and means committee of the house has done some useful tinkering with the law, and in taxing unearned income more than earned income has revived a just principle. In ordinary circumstances this might be enough. But with the government facing a $31,000,000,000 debt, it is not enough. To borrow huge sums as the government Is doing, and must do. without raising taxes is unwise. It is bad business because it means that revenues will be eaten up by interest charges on the public debt rather than on reduction of principal. And it is bad morals because it seeks to pass on to the next generation the debts and burdens of this generation. There is an added consideration. It is the danger of uncontrolled inflation. We must have reflation—no sensible citizen denies that. But every sensible citizen is anxious that the administration be able to carry out its pledge to control inflation. That is not easy. Indeed. it probably will be impossible for any political administration to control inflation If it resorts to unlimited borrowing. During the emergency we can not hold to a pay-as-you-go policy. But we can afford to pay much more than is contemplated by this proposed tax bill. The new proposal would not materially increase income taxes on earned incomes—that is the majority of incomes—in the lower and middle brackets. This is wrong. Every citizen lucky enough in these days to have a job and an income should be willing to help pay our way out of the depression. Compared with citizens in other countries, we are slackers in income tax payments. Our system makes a gesture of putting a heavy tax on very large incomes, incomes of a half million and a million dollars yearly. But that does not mean much in terms of revenue because the number of such incomes is small. The real test from the standpoint of revenue is the amount collected from the middle brackets—from incomes of SIO,OOO to SIOO,OOO. The reason the government debt is mounting so rapidly is that we never have had an administration with sufficient political courage to tax this great class. A comparison of the present rate of this and other countries for earned net income of a married person with no dependents, for Instance, shows; On a SIO,OOO income in this country, 4.8 per cent; in Great Britain, 18.6 per cent; in France. 25.2 per cent; on $25,000, in this country. 10 per cent; Great Britain. 29 per cent; France. 38 per cent; on $50,000, in this country. 17 per cent; Great Britain, 39 per cent: France, 47 per cent; on SIOO,OOO in this country. 30 per cent; Great Britain. 48 per cent: France. 54 per cent. Thus a substantial and progressive increase all along the line is possible in this country, on the basis of the experience of other countries. We do not believe that Americans are any less patriotic than foreigners. Americans with net incomes of SIO,OOO to SIOO,OOO should be—and we believe are—of the opinion that they are fortunate to have incomes on which to pay a heavy tax. The same principle applies to death duties. President Roosevelt has provided leadership in other ways. So far he has not announced a tax policy. Here is his opportunity. THE CITIES* PLIGHT TMPOYERISHED cities are knocking at their Uncle Ram's door for relief. Plagued with bankruptcy, depressed bond markets and payless pay days, they are calling for the same life-savers the government has been tossing to banks, railroads and others of the new poor. The United States conference of mayors, representing 189 cities of 50,000 or more, favors: 1. The Sumners-Wllcox bill. This would permit bondholders to sit down at a table with city officials, and. if two-thirds of the creditors agree, arrange for reducing or refunding the loans. The plan now operates for railroads and others under the recent bankruptcy act. 2. Loans from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, secured by tax anticipation warrants or notes. This might involve a revolving fund of $500,000,000. Tbe* broke dues, in the view of the Surf

rey Oraphlc, are “great floundering crybabies “rattling their empty tin banks." Critics point to many solvent municipalities which avoided boom excesses, kept their budgets safe;' or reaped profits from publicly-owned utilities. But it is too late for such preaching. Conditions, not theories, confront these cities, and the human suffering involved is too great to ignore. Some 1,500 municipalities are said to be in default on their bonds. Detroit is reported to be plastered with city scrip. The social services, Including schools, health departments, police and fire protection, are being cut to the bone in many cities. Fall River’s mayor is working for a day laborer's salary. Yonkers owns 3,000 parcels of land taken for tax delinquency. The story of the cities is one long Jeremiad. The lessons are too obvious to repeat. Cities will and must learn from the depression to run their affairs without graft, extravagance and inefficiency. In the meantime, the federal government should offer them what relief it can by way of bankruptcy machinery and short-term credit. WHAT QUAINT BELIEFS! TT gives an Americana pleasant feeling of superiority to learn that the people of Nepal, that mysterious Himalayan kingdom north of India, beiieve that the recent Indian earthquake was caused by the flight of three British aviators over Mount Everest last spring. The gods of this mountain, according to the people of Nepal, are jealous of their peak's isolation, and get angry whenever presumptuous men to try to climb it. When the British airplane went sailing over the summit, the gods decided things had gone far enoughj so they jarred India with an earthquake that took 15,000 lives. This quaint tale is believed devoutly by the superstitious and unlettered people of the Himalayas, and it all sounds very childish and ignorant to enlightened folk like ourselves. Yet we have our own troubles in straightening out matters of cause and effect, esDecially where great national disasters are concerned, and in some ways we don’t seem to be much better at it than the skin-clad tribesmen of Asia. We had our own earthquake, a matter of four years ago, in the form of a depression, and it jarred us clear back to our eyeteeth. And if there ever was a land in which people did more frantic running around in circles trying to figure out the cause of an earthquake, the history books don’t mention it. Some of us blamed the tariff and some of us blamed the war; some of us blamed the foreign debts and some of us blamed Wall Street: some of us blamed our lack of faith in God and some of us blamed the sun spots; some of us blamed Stalin and some of us blamed Andy Mellon. And we are so far from being agreed on the cause, even now, that we can’t agree on how to handle our domestic economy, our foreign trade, our currency, or our international relations, to keep it from happening again. And there is something rather frightening in all this confusion. It suggests, somehow, that we are, all of us. enlightened and unenlightened, at the mercy of forces which we can comprehend little better than the Himalayan peasants comprehend an earthquake. Perhaps, ir-’eed, we shall have to accept the Himalayan explanation. We flew over a high mountain and the gods were vexed. THE ‘CARTWHEEL’ RETURNS "|\J"ANUFACTURERS in Freeport, 111., pulled 1 A an interesting stunt a few days ago when they met their entire weekly pay roll with 40.000 silver dollars. Instead of getting the customary envelopes filled with bills, the workers got little canvas sacks filled with dollars—heavy, clinking, and somehow exceedingly satisfying to handle. The step was taken, it is explained, to help popularize silver currency and to co-operate with the administration in its silver policy. And it wasn't, when you to stop to think about it, a bad idea. There is something solid and comforting about the feeling of a silver dollar in your hands or in your pockets. It feels like more money than a dollar bill, for some reason; it rings in such an authoritative manner when you slap it down on a counter to buy something. In many parts of the country the silver dollar never Is seen any more. It wouldn’t be a bad stunt to make it once again a popular medium of daily exchange. CHILD LABOR, STILL! TODAY, tomorrow and Monday have been set aside by the American Humane Education Society as national child labor days, and. while the occasion may not get a very wice observance, it ought to be celebrated all across the country. The NRA codes have done much to set our children free, but they have not done everything; furthermore, they are only temporary in their effect. The society points out that there still are 240.000 children under 16 years of age who are not covered by the codes, and whose protection from exploitation is only the uncertain legislation of individual states. , It still is possible to pass the child labor amendment. Substantially more than half of the required number of states have ratified it. It is high time we got busy, ratified the amendment, # and gave to exploited childhood the protection of the federal Constitution. A GREAT ENTERPRISE The Indianapolis Symphony orchestra will give its next concert this coming Tuesday night at the Murat theater. It will be interesting to see how many of our citizens attend. The symphony has been taking a firmer hold in Indianapolis with each passing year, but the response isn't high enough yet. The Indianapolis Symphony is a great enterprise. a really great movement to give this city a firm foundation for its cultural activities. Let us all hope that we may see the day when the Indianapolis Symphony can hang on its from door the sign. “Sold OuU*

THE DRYS AND THE WETS "Indiana's liquor law," cries the dry, “is a blot on civilization’s name.” “We've got repeal," says the wet, “and well keep it.” Snarls and sneers and Impatience with each other's viewpoint mar the old, old wet-dry dispute. CJtainly, our liquor laws could be improved. Is the chasm so wide that our dry* and our wets can not sit down at the same table and talk things ever sensibly? We live in the same houses, the same city, and we live under the same laws. We speak the same language and yet we have so little regard for our neighbor's ideas that we will not even grant him the courtesy of listening to him. The drys and the wets should get together. Perhaps they could do it reasonably. Suppose there would be shouting across the table, and fiery words. But what if they performed a service to the community? Wouldn’t it be worth the drys’ while to say that they are drafting laws that will make for temperance? Wouldn’t it be worth the wets’ while to tell the state that they are living up to their repeal promises? Quit scowling like school boys. Get together like men. NOT WORTH THE PRICE A small Indianapolis restaurant went out of business the other day. The closing came as a surprise to its patrons because it had been doing what was considered a good business. Rumors popped up, irresponsible rumors perhaps, that the restaurant had been forced to close because of the “high” NRA wage schedules. There can be only one answer to those rumors. If the price of a business’ success must be dollar-sweating conditions for its employes, then that business has no right to operate. It is high time we realized that human rights are higher than money-making rights. What good is wealth and success to one man when he must tear another man’s soul from his body to achieve the goal?

Liberal Viewpoint =s,By DR. HARRY ELMER BARNESs—=

OPPOSITION to the new deal has produce! the strangest coterie of bed-fellows tha any political dormitory ever housed in our whol< national history. Here are to be found Jame: Montgomery Beck and W. Z. Foster; Simeon B Fess and Norman Thomas; Colonel Robert R McCormick and Mike Gold; A1 Smith and Johr Dewey. It has remained for anew publication, “Th< Awakener: A National Organ of Sound Opinion,’ to line up under the same mast-head cists and advanced Liberals and to enlist then in a joint effort to discredit the Roosevelt administration. The Awakener appears fortnightly in t large and sumptuous format, even surpassing that of George Nathan’s American Spectator I missed the first issue, but it could scarcelj have been more staggering than the second number which made me dizzy. In the first column on the front page we find some snappy news notes on current event: in Washington, accusing Miss Frances Perkins of duplicating the late Mr. George W. Doak’s statistical poetry, charging that the CWA is s political expedient designed to grab off votes for the Democrats in 1936, and condemning this relief measure as fastening upon us the worsl aspects of the dole system. The main headlines, however, introduce us to a long and perfectly corking exposure of the activities of Earle S. Bailie as a member of the investment house of J. & W. Seligman. This good slashing radical article is sandwiched in between the aforementioned Tory news notes and two articles charging that the Brain Trust idea was deliberately copied from Russia and that the NRA labor board is designedly encouraging the growth of communistic unions. The editorial page bewails the fact that the opposition to “the Tugwells, the Ickeses, and the Perkinses is so pathetically irresolute and divided.” The capitalists are exhorted to show some “backbone.” The Scottsboro defense is criticised, Heywood Broun rebuked, and the Brain Trust derided. As columnist, we find Congressman Beck warning that “the New Deal imperils American liberty.” He closes with: “Let our prayer tonight be: God save th e United States.” tt tt n ON the page opposite the editorials there is a critical but sensible article by Lawrence Denis weighing the new deal to date. There is a longer article by Harold Lord Varney: “Is the Constitution in Danger?” Mr. Varney opines in no uncertain terms that it is, quoting the “ominous words” of the distinguished Harvard professor, Thomas Reed Powell, who warns the court to consider the results of any juristic obstruction of the recovery program. The emergency argument, stressed by Chief Justice Hughes in the recent Minnesota case, is denounced by Mr. Varney as one of “true viciousness.” The fourth and last page has an article by Mr. Varney denouncing John Strachey’s book exposing Fascism, coni ends that the NRA is creating a “swarm of government-paid publicity men to grind out Johnson copy and clog the mails,” and assails Mr. Tugwell as a “dazzling” contributor to socialism who has totally repudiated the CEipitalistic system and wishes to launch a regime of technocratic communism. A side-swipe is taken at “Commissar” Paul H. Douglas, friend of Tugwell and now a prominent member of the government department devoted to the defense of the American consumer. Other articles here predict the establishment of a press censorship and lament the decision of Miss Perkins to admit Emma Goldman to the United States. The latter act is denounced as the first step in a plan to loose upon us a horde of alien radicals. The editors of this externally impressive but strangely conglomerate sheet are Harold Lord Varney, Lawrence Dennis, and Colonel Milford W. Howard. Mr. Varney is an old publicity war horse of the Repubican national committee and was decorated a “Cavaliere of the Crown of Italy,” in 1932. From this decoration, it is safe to assume that he is not openly unfriendiy to II Duce and his theories of government. Who’s Who gives us no information as to Colonel Howard and his social philosophy, but Lawrence Dennis is well-known as one of the ablest liberal writers in the country, whose above-mentioned book was one of the most devastating exposures ever written of our financial pirates and rugged individualism. To find him in the company of Mr. Varney and Congressman Beck is more amazing than the new deal itself. If Mr. Roosevelt’s policies can produce sucCi confusion of tongues among the opposition, he has little to fear. New York’s new district attorney says he’ll prosecute all wrongdoers, regardless of political affiliations. Apparently Jimmy Walker was not the only humorist New York has had. Now that the United States has recognized Cuba, will the Cubans recognize the United States? Huey Long's candidate lost the election for mayor of New Orleans, and now Huey cries the vote was unlawful. It is, if you accept Huey Long’s word as law.

THE INDIANAPOLIS-TIMES

(Times readers are invited to express their views in these columns. Make your letters short, so all can have a chance. Limit them to 250 words or less.) HE’S A PARTISAN—AND * PROUD OF IT. By a Democrat. There seems to be a desire on the part of the national administration to build up a non-political organization (such as we had during the war) to accomplish the economic recovery of this country—the result of twelve years of Republican administration. The attempted use of Republicans whose ideas have been repudiated at the polls all over the country to put into effect Democratic policies which the people expected the Democrats to accomplish will not be looked upon with much favor or confidence by Democrats who have long been loyal to Democratic ideals. Nor will it be looked upon with much favor by independent voters who tired of Republican incompetency. Even Republicans can not respect us when it seems necessary to appoint our political enemies to execute our Democratic policies. Every one will therefore have a right to look with suspicion upon the appointment of Republicans, known in their various states and localities to be such, to carry out policies foreign to their previous beliefs and who are not supposed to be sympathetic or in accord with Democratic party platforms or ideals. Democrats disagree frequently as to who is to be intrusted to carry out their policies and platforms, but they as a party agree on the principles involved and the ideas back of them, and are usually in sympathy with the plans devised for that purpose. They have a right to expect Democrats to be appointed to execute Democratic policies. One who disregards this right lays himself liable to the charge of party disloyalty himself and thereby loses the confidence of all party men in either party. I sincerely hope that, except for the use of “dollar-a-year men” perhaps, our Democratic administration will not lay itself liable to this charge. This is largely responsible for the party’s disruption and defeat in times past. tt a it ‘AVARICIOUS’ IS REPLY TO ‘M’NUTT VOTER’ By a Times Reader. “McNutt Voter” says that “It is a fine thing that The Times permits us to relieve our inward selves without disclosing our identity.” Then he goes on to tell us that he is “all wrought up with madness and feels that he is full of rabies,” which is a perfect description of a fanatical Red Socialist. He reveals his loyalty and patriotism and party fealty when he says, “I was promised a good job before the election”; and I suppose that when he pulled the lever in the voting booth he had a vision of a good job, rather than any interest in a change of administration. Such unselfish loyalty! Well, friend, nobody is going to sympathize with such avaricious patriotism as that; and, isn’t it a fact that the real reason you don't like Governor McNutt is because he doesn't let you revolutionaries take possession of the state capital? At least Mr. McNutt knows that the red flag is dangerous. I haven’t seen the red flag waving on the statehouse grounds since Mr. McNutt was! elected, which accounts. I believe, for your extreme madness and the symptoms of rabies. I hope this will help you get betteg.

THE WAY OF THE WEST

In Defense of Mr. Maddox

By Rev. Walter E. Bailey I have been a more or less constant reader of The Indianapolis Times for ten years and have always had a feeling of warmth for the paper and the staff that edits and publishes it because of their seeming desire for freedom, liberality and justice toward views and opinions of the reading public as they find expression in the columns of your paper. ’ I have felt many times that I would like to express my views and opinions on matters of public interest in your columns entitled the Message Center, but thus far have refrained from doing so. Recently, however, there has been so much said in this column in defense of this atheistic, antiChristian patriotism (enough to refuse to be deceived as Red Socialism and Communism) and against the man who dares openly to defend our rights and liberties granted to us by our Constitution and to defend the Bible, the blessed word of God upon which the faith of our forefathers was rooted and grounded when they set forth to establish our Constitution, and which these organizations are determined to destroy. I refer to the many unkind and disrespectful remarks made about my good friend, Mr. E. F. Maddox. In writing these remarks without any compulsion I must say that all that has been said concerning the character, purposes or intents of Mr. Maddox has been done in ignorance. Also, I want to say here, lest I forget and omit it, that I have ASSAILS THOSE ‘BLIND TO MARCH OF TIME’ By Jacob L. Smith. A recent decision of the United States supreme court to the effect that economic emergency broadens the scope of the federal Constitution is directly applicable to many counties in Indiana where commissioners have refused to set aside funds sufficient for payment of old age pensions. For that decision established the supremacy of human need, which is the only real issue in administering Indiana’s pension law. For more than twelve years, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, without

A Woman’s Viewpoint By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON , 7 ....

“TjOW does she do it?” sighed JTI a good looking 30-year-old girl. We had talked much too fast, and much too cattishly, about the three-times-divorced grass widow with a 12-year-old child who had just announced her engagement to a well-to-do man-about-town. The question had everybody stumped. And so, afterward, I thought about it a good deal. The woman certainly was not handsome. She hasn’t an ounce of what we think of as sex allure. She’s selfish, spoiled, lazy and completely lacking in all those virtues which men pretend so much to admire. But she’s smart. And beiieve me, when somebody tells you it’s the dumb ones who get husbands, forget it. A woman gets a husband exactly the way she gets a fur coat—by starting out after it. Then. too. practice helps a great deal in the art of getting married. By the time you’ve hooked your third man you should be more of an expert than the woman who has had no experience whatever. You know all the ruses, all the little advantages and retreats, all tha silly pretenses*

followed the methods used by organized Socialism and Communism, and the ends obtained, close enough to know that the onslaught against • Mr. Maddox’s character and ability is one of the most subtle types of propaganda used by them. I have been acquainted personally with Mr. Maddox and his entire family for some time and can say that therere is not man or his family that I know anywhere that commands the respect and esteem of this community more than they. He is a Christian gentleman; theirs is a Christian family. He is a patriotic citizen of rare courage, ability and vision. He is a very adept student of economics and industrialism and of industrial methods and organization. In my opinion, he is a student, jtes, even more, an authority on the workings of Red Communism, which is the direct product of organized Soicalism. Mr. Maddox is that type of fearless American patriot whose value to a commonwealth always is belittled or denied while he lives, but whose extraordinary vision, unusual zeal in pursuit of an ideal and relentless devotion to a common cause for the good of humanity always is envied by many after he has passed from the scene of action. I will appreciate it very much, indeed, if you will print this letter in your Message Center in answer to the untruthful and slanderous remarks recently made there against this man who is a Christian gentleman, a worthy citizen and my good friend. asking 1 cent from the public, conducted a campaign which resulted in enactment of a law for pensions by the 1933 legislature. Today, in many sections of the state that law is being nullified by officials blind to the march of times; deaf to the pleas of the needy aged for aid that will give them bread, not a stone. It is evident that the pension law must be strengthened. It must be rewritten in a form that will bring the fullest measure of help to those no longer able to help themselves. It must be responsive to the humanitarian theory that human need is above all else.

BUT the very first thing you know is your man. There lies the very kernel of the secret. After you have become thoroughly familiar with all the processes of his mind, understand his likes and his egoisms, the rest is easy. “What does he see in her?” becomes a rather foolish question after you have watched one or tw’o of these experts land their fish. He sees in her exactly what she wants him to see. That’s all. Study the marriage records for a while. One fact will hit you squarely in the face and take your breath away—the fact that men ever select their wives for those qualities they say they desire them to possess. Either that, or you must come to the less com- * plimentary conclusion that the male seeking his mate is just plain dumb. He doesn’t use the slightest care, thought or sense in getting married. The way he lets himself be picked up by the good-for-nothings is proof indeed that he has used his brains for business—and think what business

HE THINKS LIGHT CO. IS HARDLY POOR By a Times Reader. I have been reading in your paper about trying to have the Power and Light Company reduce consumers’ utility rates. I also read where the consumers are not making as much as they were, as they claim. That may be, but they surely are making some as I happen to know of a party who could not get down to pay her bill just at the time on account of being too sick to get there so a man was sent out and turned off the light in the afternoon. The woman and a little boy were both sick and had no lights all night. Father was working at night. Os course next morning they had to i pay another dollar to have it turned on and the last dollar they had besides the light bill they were going to pay. It so happened I found out about fifty lights were turned off in part of town at about the same time and that would bring them about SSO and if they are doing that to many people they surely are making money, and they call this a Christian country. I am writing this to you as I know your paper is a plain outspoken paper, and perhaps you know this already—but it is a shame the way some people make money. SOMEBODY "iS FALLING DOWN ON THE JOB By Mrs. J. YVelsand I have read the Times ever since its existence. I have been reading about the clearing of slums and putting up new buildings. Has this city not enough good houses for its people? Do you wish to create still more vacant houses? And more dumping grounds around those livable houses? It seems so. I have been a citizen for thirtythree years. I have been living in the same place for last twenty-two years. Right at my back door were two frame doubles. The city ordered them wrecked, and at once it became a dumping ground for garbage, cans, excelsior, tops of trees and shrubbery. We have had fire not once a week, but two and three times a week. I called the police. In turn, they called the fire department. I called on the board of health, fire prevention bureau, and the dumping commission. None paid the slightest attention. I called on them in person, and was sent from one to the other and up to date nothing has been done. Unfortunately, I am a widow and own my

house, which has a large mortgage on it and it has been devoid of tenants since last May, just because of this terrible dump. I think I have paid at least $230 in taxes. Am I not deserving of some consideration? I am asking wou to publish this that some will take notice to give me some protection as a citizen and taxpayer, and that this dump will be cleaned up that I may keep tenants and pay my debts. I thank you and dare you to print this.
