WEDNESDAY AUG. 1. 183*. THE CAMPAIGN IS ON \ UGUST is here with the political pri- -**■ manes. In a lew states the voters have something mere than the customary tweediedee-tweedie-dum set-up. The trend is toward more of the Roosevelt brand of government. Ok: Bill Murray's machine, nominating a Roosevelt Democrat ar.d a Roosevelt Republican lor Governor. Texas has turned her back on J.m and Ma Ferguson, sending two anti-Ferguson men into the gubernatorial run-off and renominating for the senate New Dealer Connally over Reactionary Joe Bailev, whose campaign was financed by “hot oil" boys of East Texas. In Tennessee and Kentucky, which have primaries this w eek, the controversies are local. Next woek, Virginia will stamp the slate of the not -so- Rooseveltian Byrd machine; West Virginia will try to find some man who will be at least a little better senator than G. O. P. Hatfield; Missouri Democracy will choose between the hand-picked senatorial candidates of Kansas City Boss Pendergast, the St. Louis machine, and Senator Bennett Champ Clark, and Kansas will take a third fling at tiie gubernatorial candidacy of Dr. (Goat Gland) Brinkley. The following week will show how much the Huey Long influence has spread into Arkansas, whether Charlie Bryan still is in control of Nebraska Democracy, who holds the two parties in Idaho and whether Ohio Democrats select a New Dealer or an Old Dealer to take the measure of Old Guard Senator Simeon Fess in November. In the last week of the month will come two significant primaries in Mississippi and California, and one not so significant in South Carolina, where the only interesting arguments are over w hether the state will turn wet and whether ex-Senator, ex-Governor Ccle Blease is to return to the public pay roll. Mississippi Democrats will nominate for governor either a progressive in the person of Representative Ross Collins, a demagog Bilbo, or the incumbent nonentity named Stephens. And California Democrats will nominate for governor either Georce Creel, New Deal propagandist, or Upton Sinclair. ex-Socialist, who blithely promises to end all California poverty within two years. R K DISTRI BUTIN G WE ALTH THE federal government is reaching its hands into the money centers and scattering some relief over the poorer sections of the country. In a careful factual study of expenditures editorial research reports show how this is done. Tax collections by states and New Deal expenditures by states are figures that lend themselves readily to demagoguery. An unscrupulous logician can take these figures and pretend to prove almost anything he sots out to prove. He can draw a woeful picture of how the people in the more populous eastern states arc being ground dewm by taxes to subsidize the people in sparsely-settled farm states. The per capita federal tax paid by New Yorkers last year, for example, was $44.83. The per capita distribution of New Deal federal funds in New York up to June 30—public works, civil works, relief, farm acreage reduction checks, etc.—was $24 43. Thus New Deal expenditures in New York wore only 54 per cent of federal taxes in New York. In Delaware, the ratio of grams to taxes was only 42 per cent. At the other extreme are Arizona, which received thirty-six times as much in grants as it paid :n taxes. South Dakota twenty-six times, and Colorado twenty-five times. But those figures do not prove as much as they seem to prove. In the first place the figures do not include regular governmental expenditures, most of which are made in the more populous states. Moreover, New York and Delaware pay large corporate taxes, though the actual earnings of the corporations headed up yi those states come from all over the nation. Large processing taxes come from industrial states, but these are merely sales taxes which are passed on to ultimate eohsumers who live in all states. North Carolina has the largest per capita federal tax in the nation—sß2.l2. New Deal grants to North Carolina last year were only 22 p* r cent of taxes. However, the state's high federal t. x figure is due principally to tobacco taxes. North Carolina factories produce the bulk of cigarets consumed in this country. But North Carolina passes the tax on to the cigaret smokers of the nation. States like Arizona. Arkansas. New Mexico. Idaho and the Dakotas pay directly but little into the federal treasury, and receive many tunes as much in grants. In the long run the geographical redistribution of income represented by New Deal expenditures merely gives a measure of equilibrium to the unbalanced private business machinery which sos years has been concentrating wealth in the industrial centers. To some extent. New Deal expenditures also are redistributing individual incomes, since the low-income groups such as the farmers, workers and unemployed, are the chief direct beneficiaries. Os course all business benefits indirectly. This is a part of the Now Deal machinery' that needs to be thrown into high gear. It can be done by hiking taxes on incomes, inheritances, capital and excess profits, by adop'mg a scientific system of taxes ba*ed on the only fair pnnc.ple of taxation—ability to pay. A GROSS IMPROPRIETY * WHATEVER their motives, the visit which Messrs. Joseph F. Guffey. David L. ; Lawmence and Chester H. Rhodes paid to Washington to seek federal relief funds for

Pennsylvania, was a gross impropriety. It smacked of partisan poetics, played with government relief money. Any situation under which it Is necessary for Democratic party leaders to intervene, so that the hungry can be fed and housed, instead of that responsibility being handled by the kcally delegated officials of the state, is indefensible. In short, three gentlemen who do not represent the state government, two of whom are political candidates and one of whom is Democratic state chairman did a job which should and could have been handled by Governor Pinchot and other proper officials. And the proclamation of the fact that a promise of relief was secured by these Democrats —not forgetting to mention their candidacies ar.d party positions—reduces the promise to the level of a low political gesture. Political* writers and Washington corre- ; pendents often have pointed to the internal struggle within the Democratic party between the group represented by the President and his close advisers on the one hand and by the politicians who follow Jim Farley and certain Democratic congressmen, on the other. Numerous times Mr. Roosevelt nas had to intervene to clean up situations that threatened to become public scandal. We consider the Pennsylvania relief situation as another instance of political activity repugnant alike to the general public and to the lofty policies of President Roosevelt. Particularly has the federal emergency relief administration, under the honest and capable direction of Harry L. Hopkins, been free from the sort of patronage and political odors that have pervaded some other activities. We do not believe Mr. Hopkins approves of or is a party to conditions of this sort, and we specifically call to his attention something thai we consider unworthy of and injurious to the Roosevelt administration.

POOR DIPLOMACY 'TWO years ago the sentiment of the great pow’ers steadily was becoming more and more cordial to the aspirations of a defeated Germany. Germany wanted, among other things, “anschluss,” or union, with Austria. France opposed the idea bitterly, but elsewhere there was a growing feeling that such a step might be an excellent thing for both nations. Germany wanted some recognition of her right to arm as she chose. Once again, France was steadfast in opposition; but once again sentiment elsewhere was in favor of relaxing the iron terms of the Versailles treaty in this respect. Germany wanted a readjustment of her frontiers and a restoration of her colonies. Thoughtful men everywhere were beginning to admit that there was a great deal of justice in this claim, and while there was no immediate prospect that it would be granted, the outlook was more favorable than it had been at any other time since the peace treaties were signed. The hatreds and suspicions born of the war, in other words, definitely were subsiding, responsible men all over Europe were beginning to realize that Europe could not regain its health until the bloc of Germanic peoples in the center of the continent were given some sort of a chance to work out their destiny in their own way. And then—what happened Hitler rose to power, breathing out fire and slaughter, demonstrating by his treatment of minorities in his own land that he and his party were ruthless in pursuit of their chosen goal. He rattled the saber in the pre-war Hohenzollern style. He created in every chancellery in Europe a fear of war—a fear more acute than any which had existed since July of 1914. Immediately that favorable sentiment, without which German aspirations could not possibly be fulfilled, began to disappear. The old suspicions were reborn with greater force than ever. The clock was set back a dozen years. Today Mussolini prepares to march an army into Austria to prevent the threatened “anschluss”—and, if he does, all Europe will approve. England discusses joint military action with France, just as in 1914. In all the concert of European powers, not one voice is raised in favor of Germany. Germany has more enemies than in 1914—and no allies at all. It is the irony of history that the man who promised Germany that he would fulfill her aims in spite of everything, has succeeded only in making them infinitely farther from attainment than they were in the days of the despised republic. HIGHER TAXES ON CRIME rvURING the last few days the federal government has come into possession of a new weapon to use in its war on the underworld. The new federal firearms control law' has gone into effect, and it ought to be a useful bit of legislation. Under this law, extremely strict regulations are placed on the sale and possession of such favorite gangster weapons as machine guns, sawed-off shotguns, and the like. All purchasers or owners of such weapons must be registered, photographed, and fingerprinted. Manufacturers, importers, and dealers must register and pay heavy license fees. A S2OO tax is levied on the purchase of each weapon. Violators of the law are subject to five years in prison. Since federal agents estimate that no fewer than 5.000 submachine guns are now in the hands of criminals, you can see how badly such a law is needed. Rigidly enforced, it ought to be a great help in the drive to get the underworld back under control.

President Roosevelt looked over the famous volcano. Mauna Loa. in Hawaii, ar.d must have wondered how peaceful it is alongside Senators Borah and Long. Sale of liquor is legal in twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia, so the bootleggers haven't got it so bad, after all. Now that women have gone in for slacks, your two-pants suits ought to come in mighty handy for the family. You can increase the comfort of your home by just rearranging the furniture, says a Cornell university report. But be sure to keep the couch handy for dad. If also you want to keep the peace.

Liberal Viewpoint BY UK. HARRY ELMER BARNES

This is the second of a series of articles by Harry Elmer Barnes. Ph. D. IN March, 1931, the Anechluss problem was brought to the fore as a result of a visit of the German foreign minister. Dr. Curtius. to Vienna. It was announced that negotiations had been opened looking to a customs union between Germany and Austria. Immediately, the entente powers and the elements in Austria and Germany opposed to union exhibited the gravest alarm. They remembered that the customs was set up by Prussia a hundred years ago had been the mam factor in promoting the political union of the scattered German states —a task brought to completion by Bismarck with biood and iron in 1870. The World Court immediately got busy and by a strictly political vote declared the proposed customs union not permissible. The court thus did more to undermine confidence in its impartiality ar.d usefulness all the criticism of American isolationists could accomplish in a generation. Then the entente put the financial screws on Austria. The latter had to have financial loans at once. The entente states arranged one of $42,000,000 through the Bank of International Settlements but forced Austria as a condition to agree that she would not enter into any customs union with Germany. The Hitler triumph faced the world in 1933 and brought up union with Germany through another channel. The Nazis knew that they could not annex Austria forcibly without producing serious international complications 60 they proposed to achieve the reality without its form for the time being through solidarity in a rorrmon Austro-German Nazi (National Socialist) party. tt tt a A NAZI overturn in Austria would produce effective Austro-German unity and in a form with which the entente could not interfere save by war. The diminutive chancellor had just one chance of forming a force sufficiently strong to withstand Naziism indefinitely. If he had lined up with the Socialists in Vienna, Linz and other urban centers and with the Christian Socialists of the rural areas, he would have had behind him the overwhelming majorit” of the Austrian people and could have more than held his own without setting up a dictatorship. The rural and urban Socialists were willing to forget, at least temporarily, their differences in their common fear of Naziism and dictatorship. But Dollfuss either was short-sighted or else ambitious to ape Mussolini and Hitler with his own brand of dictatorship. Therefore, he turned against socialism, believing it “more important to surpress the labor movement, abolish democratic government and establish his own brand of Fascism than to present an invincible front against the Hitlerites.’’ He surpressed the Socialist “Schutzbund” and the Communist party in the summer of 1933 and then threw himself in the arms of II Duce for aid and counsel.

IN the late summer of 1933 Dollfuss and Mussolini entered into an agreement designed to link Austria and Italy more closely in a commercial and industrial way, while Dollfuss promised to resist with all means at his command any movement for an Austro-German union. But matters got hotter in Austria. The unexpected success of Hitler in building up a united front in Germany strengthened the Nazi determination to press for union through the party permeacion of Austria. Mussolini advised the desperate Dollfuss to mop up the Socialists and to support the Fascist “heimwehr.” Dollfuss took this advice and thus dug his ovv'n grave by temporarily breaking the only strong party which might have helped him resist the Brown Shirts. The February massacre in Vienna w'as the most disgraceful incident in the history of contemporary Fasciism. Nothing in the record of either Mussolini or Hitler has been so contemptible or indefensible. Dollfuss’ bloody tactics then only increased his difficulties. Many who Jrad supported his campaign against the Nazi now threw up their hands in disgust. Why worry about German Nazi when Austria had a dictator at home who was more brutal and anti-democratic than Hitler? Why get exercised patriotically about union with Germany when Dollfuss was selling out Austria to Italy? So reasoned hundreds of thousands of long-suffering Austrians after the February orgy. Further, Naziism made great headway among the Austrian “heimwehr,” upon whom Dollfuss now had to place his sole reliance. The “heimwehr” was violently anti-Semitic and hence pleased vastly by Hitler’s raid on the Jew's. And most of them were German in race. If they were to be bossed from abroad, why not by a German rather than an Italian? From the end of February it was only a matter of time until Dollfuss’ fading support would encourage the Nazi to launch their long-pre-pared “putsch” which could result in nothing less than Dollfuss’ death, imprisonment or fight. On July 25, Dollfuss reaped the reward for his almost feeble-minded statescraft.

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL

YOUTHFUL, energetic Boyd Erown, lieuten-ant-governor of the Virgin Islands, has been busily engaged in Washington on affairs connected with the administration of Uncle Sam's tropical possessions. Each day he appears early at his desk in the interior department, takes a brief time off lor lunch, and works until late in the afternoon. He doesn't know just when he'll return to the islands. It depends on how things go in Washington. Last week, for instance, the Danish chauffeur of Governor Paul Pearson, inquired of that executive: “When are they going to let LieutenantGovernor Brown out of prison?” “Prison?” said the startled Governor. “Mr. Brown in prison?” “Why, yes.” replied the chauffeur. “I understand they put him in prison in Washington because he wouldn't answer certain questions.” Thus the credibility of rumors circulated by many persons as facts—not only in St. Thomas but in Washington. NOTE: Unimprisoned Mr. Brown spent the week-end freely plunging into the surf at Cape May, and will be back on the job today. nun THE amiable Belgian ambassador. M. Paul May. one of the most popular foreign envoys in town, who was overcome by the heat and later underwent an operation and died Monday in the Emergency hospital. As soon as his illness became known his hospital room was rapidly converted into a garden of flowers. Friends kept the telephone wire busy and telegrams and messages were received by the score. Mme. May remained in town to be with her i.usband. tt a a NEWS that Herr Doktor Otto (Am .e Otto> Kiep. former counselor of the German embassy in Washington, is now heading a German mission to Buenos Aires, aroused interest here. Amiable Otto was noted here for three things: (1) His beautiful blond wife; (2; His roast duck and red cabbage dinners, flavored with Rhine wines and Munich beer; < 3) His quarrel with Baron von Prittwitz, the then German ambassador, which finally caused his removal to New York with the rank of consul general. The object of Amiable Otto's present mission is to obtain a German-Argentine trade alliance. One death in every' three in New York, says a report, is due to lack of medical care. The doctors will have to explain the other two. For good hot weather entertainment there's nothing like reading about an international trunk murder mystery and sipping a refreshing mint julep.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

(Times readers are invited to express their views in these columns. Make pour letters short, so all can have a chance. Limit them to 250 words or less.) tt a a RENTED HOUSE LACKS WATER SUPPLY By Mrs. S. Senford. I have noticed with interest and approval the movements that have been made in small towns and rural localities to provide more sanitary conditions for persons who are unable to afford improvements. If the federal government is willing to help the state in cleaning up unhealthy conditions at no cost to persons living in these properties, why should persons living within the city limits, in rented property, have to do without water entirely? * A hand pump—the only source of water at the house we are living in —stopped working July 15. Our rent was not due until July 25. Our rental agents, refused to let my husband repair the pump, and promised to send someone out. We still are without water, and with two small babies to wash for that is no laughing matter. My husband is gone a great deal of the time and it is hard for me to get away. What am I supposed to do? It seems to me that the agents showed a very poor attitude—at least, they haven’t had the nerve to send a collector for our rent. a tt a DISCUSS PLIGHT OF POSTAL WORKERS By a Sub. I wish to reply to an article by J. G. C. entitled "Postal Service Lauded.” in The Times of July 25. I am not the author of ‘‘Explains Postal Employes Status,” by “I’m Telling You,” printed in The Times of July 23. I am a substitute postal employe and, as such, I must say that every word written by “I’m Telling You” is absolutely true. In his article, J. G. C. assumes that “I'm Telling You” does not work at the postoffice, but I surmise that he does because he writes with too much understanding of his subject not to be a postal employe. On the other hand, the statements of J. G. C. lead me to believe that he knows nothing about substitute postal conditions. J. G. C. states that there have been thousands of promotions since Mr. Farley has been postmastergeneral. I wonder if he kindly will cite me just a few of these thousands. There have been none whatever in the Indianapolis postoffice. If J. G. C. will be so considerate as to tell me the postoffices w r here these thousands of substitutes are b°ing promoted. I might attempt to obtain for myself a transfer to such an utopian site, as I can vision little or no prospect for any promotions in Indiana. Another statement was that substitutes had more money in the last sixteen months than any other sixteen months period of their service. This is an absolutely ridiculous and preposterous statement, and I doubt if there is a single substitute in the entire service for whom it would hold true. Finally, J. G. C. says that he has heard no complaints of curtailment. If he was anywhere in civilized America, he surely heard them when the March 2 order became effective. BUB METER DEPOSIT ACTION AROUSES CRITICISM Bv a Patron. Another instance of the meanness of some of the public utilities has come to my attention. I left Indianapolis in June, leaving my address

Police Assailed for Kingan Action

By a Kinsan Worker, The other day Heywood Broun pointed out the practice of Fascism in San Francisco under the protection of the armed forces of the city and state. We have the same thing in our city, not by Hitler’s Brown Shirts, but by Morrissey’s blue coats. Some weeks ago the local papers carried reports of the arrest on two different occasions of men speaking at Kingan's under the auspices of the Meat Cutters and Butchers’ Union, a perfectly respectable American Federation of Labor union. And just last week another meeting was again broken up. This would be a clear violation of the Constitution, even if the speakers were Communists, for the Communist party is recognized by the United States government as a legal political party. The Constitution of the United States guarantees free speech. Then why should Mike Morrissey be permitted to import Fascism into Indianapolis? Are the police the armed forces of the people or the armed forces of the employers? If the Kingan examples prove anything, they prove that Mike Morrissey is using the police as the armed force of the employers, which theory, followed to its logical conclusion, means that the

with the utilities companies, including the Indianapolis Power and Light Company. -I received a bill from the light company for the amount of energy used up to the time I left Indianapolis. I wrote and asked it to please render me a bill less the amount of my meter deposit, which was $3. I received a letter from the company which I quote: “In answer to your letter of July 18, requesting us to apply a $3 deposit on your account. “Our records do not show that you have deposited that amount with us. “At the time our deposits are made, a receipt is given for the amount deposited. In case you have, or can locate such a receipt for S3, and will forward same to the riter, we shall be glad to apply this amount on your final bill for electric service at 3673 Birchwood avenue in this city.” It so happens that, fortunately, I had kept my receipt which was issued to me Nov. 1, 1927. This I am returning with the request that I be given credit for same. The point I wish to make is this —that if this is the practice of the light company, it is a vicious one! Undoubtedly hundreds of persons fail to keep their receipts, with the result that the company is able to retain the deposit, as well as collect the bills due. An public utility which keeps recoras so loosely that it has nothing to show for money deposited by patrons certainly is a sad example of modem business methods. In contrast to the light company, I received remittance within a few days after I arrived in Harrisburg from the telephone company for the difference between my deposit and the amount which I owed. I also have a very courteous letter from the gas company, asking me to send my receipt for deposit—copy of which it acknowledged having or record. , a a a COMIVafeMSM AND BIG BIGNESS Bv Station Attendant. The cry of communism has been raised of late. It has been heard so frequently, but with the results so harmlessly different from those predicted by prejudiced minds, that

government represents only the employers. Chief Morrissey seems intent on trying to prove to the Kingan workers that what the Communists say about the employers, the government and the government’s armed forces, is true. Communist speakers could not possibly give Kingan workers a better Communist education. In attacking free speech, in arresting American Federation of Labor speakers, in smashing Communist meetings, Chief Morrissey is “cracking down” on the very base of elementary civil democratic rights. This is not “viewing with alarm.” The history of Italian, German and Austrian Fascism proves that the reactionary forces attack the Communists only in preparation for destroying all political democracy and all groups and individuals refusing to “yes, yes” big business, which has just about succeeded in ruining a perfectly good country. The Indianapolis Times and every decent American citizen in Indianapolis should join in demanding that Mike Morrissey be forced to stop his violent, Fascist attacks on the Constitution of the United States. Or is the Constitution’s guarantee of free speech just another scrap of paper?

one ceases to experience alarm when he hears it now. One has begun to think. If the masses become organized in the interest of improved living conditions, predicated upon a wage commensurate with the economic trend, one sees that this is called communism; if a group of individuals become organized in the form of a corporation, paying its employes a wage incompatible with the economic trend but realizing great profit thereby, one sees that this is the part of better business. One is constrained to the opinion, therefore, that communism is reprehensible only to those advocating a condition for workers slightly less than economic slavery. The writer, presumably, must be judged a Communist. He is a filling station attendant. He does not dislike his job but some of the conditions under which he is forced to work are assuredly objectionable. His pay, for the support of a family of four, is deplorably small. He stands to lose from $3 to S2O each month from stock shrinkage, an inherent monstrosity of the oil and gasoline business. His integrity doubted, he is spied upon by checkers. He must be an accomplished bookkeeper; he must be a lot of things rolled up in efficiency’s package. GAS COMPANY WHITE ELEPHANT By a Reader. If the city of Indianapolis is successful in purchasing the Citizens Gas Company it will acquire one of the largest white elephants in existence, for in a few years gas for domestic use will be as obsolete as a 1910 car, for electricity will surely be in common use for domestic users. We need not be alarmed, though, as financial institutions are usually

good financiers, especially those that are left, and usually do not make any more foolish investments. When they put out money they usually are sure of getting it back. This is very good business, too. B B tt UPPER MICHIGAN PROSPEROUS By C. C. After a trip through Michigan’s upper peninsula, I have come to the conclusion that the depression is ended, so far as that section of Michigan is concerned. -The state ferry from Mackinaw City to St. Ignace reports a 30 per cent increase over last year. Brevort lake is breaking records in catches of fish. Densmore’s popular camp at the Straits of Mackinac reports many Indianapolis persons among guests. All of these popular resorts are well filled. The agricultural outlook is very promising. Clear days, cool nights and sufficient rainfall have insured plentiful crops. tt tt tt HOPES DEAD DILLINGER SATISFIES POLICE By a Friend of Dillinger. Well, I guess the police are well satisfied by now and I hope they are well rested, for they’d hid for so long. They weren’t very brave or they wouldn’t have shot Dillinger from the back. He might have had just a wooden pistol, but he sure scared the police. Since Dillinger is dead, you can’t get on the streets for so many police. I hope the city is able to help the poor people now, because they can lay off some of the brave policemen.
