THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 2*. : • LET’S RE SENSIBLE IF the Indiana Senate concurs in the House of Representatives action In placing a 5ccnt tax on each pound of oleomargarine everything good that has come from the 1935 Legislature will be forgotten by that great mass of people who now can afford nothing more expensive than the butter substitute. The House of Representatives undoutyedly meant well in passing, by a 51 to 36 vote, the bill levying the 5-cent tax on each pound of oleo. The Legislators heeded the argument of dairy farmers that a tax on oleo will increase consumption of butter. The dairy farmers are grossly mistaken. The House of Representatives has been deluded. Butter Is not only out of reach for thousands upon thousands of Indiana citizens—it Is out of snrht. The price of butter today is more than 40 cents a pound. How many of our citizens can afford that price? The truth of the matter probably is that thousands of persons now using butter are finding the cost almost prohibitive. The placing of a tax on oleomargarine not •lone will deprive thousands of Indiana residents of the use of the butter substitute, but will prevent them from using any kmd of butter or butter substitute. I! Indiana's Legislators are anxious to serve the citizens of this state they should place the oleomargarine tax only on oleo manufactured from edible cocoanut oils. Oleo manufactured with a cottonseed oil base should be exempted from tax. The reasoning behind this is simple. A tax only on oleomargarine manufactured with edible cocoanut oils PROTECTS INDIANA BUSINESS. Indiana has a large stake in oleomargarine manufactured from cottonseed oil. Tax-free cottonseed oil oleo will work to the benefit of Indiana farmers, and will give Indiana citizens in financial difficulties the unrestrained use of oleomargarine. The path is clear. Tax oleomargarine manufactured with edible cocoanut oil. Make oleomarcarme manufactured with cottonseed and other native oils tax-exempt. That would be legislation BY Indiana FOR Indiana. And Indiana’s Legislature must remember one thing above all. This is one time lobbyists don't count. The citizens count this time. And each citizen has a vote. . . . That’s a good thing to remember.

WE ALL AGREE can live profligately as well as individuals, and the new and terrible midwestem dust storm is a symptom of such behavior as definite and as alarming as high blood pressure or jumpy nerves. The United States has squandered its land resources, cut its forests, let its undergrowth be burned or grazed away. So the same thing has happened to us that happened centuries ago in China. The Great American Desert, that didn't reaiiy exist when early geographers thought it did, may become as real ?s the Gcbi desert. But, unuke Chma. this country has money •nd opportunity to halt the damage before it is too lute. Sixty million acres have been seriously damaged by wind erosion and at least five million acres have been completely destroyed for crop growing of any kind, but It is still possible by planting cover vegetation to halt the devastating progress of dust storms. The New Deal is trying to do, it and this is one endeavor which should be given unanimous support. THE WEIRTON DECISION GOVERNMENT defeat in the Weirton labor case has led some enemies of NRA to rejoice that the law is dead. That is premature. The Supreme Court has yet to speak. On the basis of its recent decisions it is expected to overrule District Judtre Nields and hold NRA, including Section 7-A, constitutional. In his opinion yesterday. Judge Nields ruled that the labor section of NRA was not covered by the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution. and that ir. any event the Weirton firm through its company union activities had not violated the invalid law. Since the second point relates only to one company, and is of no consequencq if the law is invalid, interest centers on the basic question of constitutionality. Legal arguments turn on whether a manufacturer in one state, who buys materials and •ells products in other states, comes under the constitutional power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce. In this case the company argued and Judge Nields held that this process was solely within one state. m • • A MONG the reasons for believing that the Supreme Court will uphold the law are the following: Judge Nields asserted that “the suggestion that recurrent hard times suspend constitutional limitations or cause manufacturing operations to so affect interstate commerce as to subject them to regulation by the Congress, borders on the fantastic and merits no serious consideration." But the Supreme Court in 1933, in an S-to-1 decision in the Appalachian Coals case, was moved by Just such a consideration as that now ridiculed by Judge Nields. It said, "When industry is grievously hurt, when producing concerns fail, when unemployment mounts and communities dependent upon profitable production are prostrated, the wells of commerce go dry." In other words, production or manufacture under certain conditions are commerce. This la in line with earlier decisions of the Supreme Court holding that nominally local

business which enters the flow or movement of general commerce comes within the congressional power to regulate. Such decisions include those In the famous Swift and Stafford meat packing cases and the Olsen grain futures case. Also in the Berger case, in which neither the defendant nor his transactions were directly in interstate commerce, the Supreme Court held that they blocked Interstate commerce and were thus subject to Federal regulation. Chief Justice Hughes in his book. “The Supreme Court of the United States,” written in 1928 while off the bench, explained why the court had upheld Congress in regulating certain state activities. “This has not been due.” he said, “to the recognition of any power of Congress to deal with the Internal concerns of a state as such, but to the commingling of interstate and Intrastate transactions. so that the government of the one involves to an extent the government of the other.” So the Sureme Court majority, when it gets this case, is expected to hold that Weirton activities commingle and involve interstate commerce. • • * |>UT long before the high court receives the Weirton case—which may be a year if, as feared, the case can not be shunted around the Circuit Court of • Appeals—the Supreme Court probably will settle the constitutionality of NRA. Its decision in the related Belcher case, to be argued early in April, is expected in May. Judge Grubbs recent lower court decision in the Belcher hours and wages case involves not only the interstate commerce issue, but also three additional charges of unconstitutionally: Unlawful delegation of legislative power, encroaching on state powers, and taking property without due process of law. Until the Supreme Court decides the constitutionality of NRA, the Nields opinion doubtless will encourage unfriendly companies to continue their defiance of the lew. That is unfortunate, but it Is the necessary price of the system under which the Supreme Court claims the right to pass upon laws enacted by Congress. Meanwhile the national welfare requires that the Supreme Court, as in the gold clause cases, act promptly.

ITS EASIER TO FEEL HPHE chief trouble which the modern edu- -* cator faces, suggests Eleanor Rowland Wembridge, Cleveland's famous juvenile court expert, is the fact that most people think with their hearts rather than with their minds. Mrs. Wembridge, who used to be a schoolma'am herself, told assembled educators at Atlantic City that teachers make their appeal to the “cold intellect” and consequently are exerting less and less influence on the affairs of the country. For most of us find it a great deal easier to feel than to think. On an abstract problem which does not touch us closely, we can use our brains as impartially as the next man; but when something comes up which cuts right across our emotions, the natural tendency is to let the emotions handle it from start to finish. It is this human trait which makes the path of a political democracy so very difficult in these trying times. The demagogs and the dictators may be ignorant of many things, but they are fully aware of the ease with which people can be persuaded to use their hearts rather than their heads. A Hitler, for instance, can seize the enormous amount of emotional resentment, against postwar conditions in Germany and ride to power on it. What if his program, intellectually considered, is empty and contradictory? He induces people to FEEL about it rather than to think about it. Emotionally, they can not help being for it. Consequently it goes over with a bang. It is the same way here at home. When we rushed into the first hectic period of the NRA, for example, we gave way to our enthusiasms. We felt that this was the program that would lead us out of the wilderness. We refused to listen to the men who analyzed the plan's imperfections; our emotions made us deaf. Hence the imperfections were not remedied, and a certain disillusionment is the result today. Then there are old-age pensions, for another example. We are shown a picture of a system whtch pays some S2OO a month to all aged folk. Our hearts respond instantly —as whose hearts would not? We refuse to analyze the plan intellectually, to see if it would actually work; and, by giving ourselves emotionally to thus plan, we make the task of evolving a practical security program just that much more difficult. The greatest difficulty modern democracy faces is this universal human propensity for letting emotion take the place of honest thought.

Hawaii is being called the southwestern corner of the United States by those who seem capable of talking the intervening ocean dry. Heavy water may be new to scientists, but not to the boy who had to lug pail after pail of it from the well. The elder Dionnes should be feted and advertised every now and then, if only to remind people that the quintuplets have parents. Some critics say Jim Farley is the Achilles’ heel of the Roosevelt administration. Disappointed office seekers, in describing nim, sometimes leave out the Achilles. Dizzy Dean probably can’t prove where he was on March 1, 1932, but anybody in Detroit still can tell him where he was the first week of last October. The government must be insincere fti Its daim that it is trying .o p:-o* .ore world peace. An Army bulletin asks lor cutbouc players for Pacific service. Distillers advertise anew whisky that "tickles the taster.” But most drinkers are lookmg for one that pickles the taster. It may be an unkind question, but have you noticed how few parents are naming their children after Huey Long? So Dizzy Dean signed up after all, showing that he can be dizzy in the way of everything but money.

Liberal Viewpoint BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES

HAVING just returned from a six-week tour of the West and Southwest, I may report briefly on some of the more interesting situations which came to my attention. While the sage of the EPIC plan is in resolute seclusion, working on an educational movie scenario, the Sinclair campaign still goes marching on. deeply affecting many aspects of California life. It is doubtful if anything since the gold discovery’ in 1849 has so deeply stirred Californians. Not even Hiram Johnson's classic battle with the Southern Pacific Railroad and other great vested ini ••rests a decade ago so raised the hopes of liberals or the fears and vindictiveness of the reactionaries. The o.'d lament. “Would that mine enemy had written a book.” did not arise to plague Sinclair’s enemies. He had written a book, and many of them. But one, in particular, w’as just a “nacural” for his foes, namely, “The Profits of Religion.” This is not only a slashing attack upon religion in general, but selects particular creeds and sects for specific attack in successive chapters. So the reactionaries made pamphlets out of selections from each chapter. When a Catholic Church service was over-the communicants no sooner reached the church doors than they were handed Upton's observations upon “The Church of the Servant Girl.” The Methodist congregations were being handed at the same time his appreciation of the followers of John Wesley. This, together with a. rash and probably unintentional invitation to the unemployed of the nation to come to California after election and a courageous but unpolitic denunciation of the unsoundness of the Towmsend pension plan, served to sink Mr. Sinclair. st n n BUT the results of the campaign are still evident. Extreme liberalism and moderate •adicalism have for the first time become respectable in California among the educated and shinking classes. What once was limited to select pink teas and radical assemblages was for months expounded from platforms sponsored and dignified in form at least by the ghost of Thomas Jefferson and the ticket of the Democratic party. What was once said under the breath is now spoken openly—though for how long remains to be seen. It is no wonder that the Sinclair campaign, together with the San Francisco strike, has brought the jitters to the vested interests of the state and Mr. Hearst has not overlooked what he believes is an opportunity to round them up. A veritable crusade of reaction is being preached against liberalism in California under the guise of suppressing Communism, Anarchism and Muscovite maneuverings. The Bible of the White Guard is the so-cajled “Red Network,” a weird book by a curious and credulous lady which almost outdoes the list of “radicals” compiled in New York State during the days of the notorious Lusk episode of 15 years ago. I had my own little experience with this. Announced to give a lecture in the Masonic Auditorium of Long Beach, the authorities barred me from the hall on the ground that my membership in the American Civil Liberties Union proved me a Communist. The “Red Network” said so. The result was that my sponsor secured the Civic Auditorium and accommodated a much larger crowd than could have crowded into the hall originally engaged. San Diego liberals are waging a vigorous fight to secure the right to use public school buildings for forum purposes, but the reactionaries are determined to prevent it. I spent the afternoon previous to my lecture there testifying in court before a legionnaire judge in the effort to convince the court that the Civil Liberties Union was not devoted to any plot to overthrow our government by force.

THE prosecutor at once impugned my integrity and credibility by producing “The Red Network” and exposing my Muscovite affiliations. But he was soon abashed when the counsel for the Civil Liberties Union showed fro n the same work that I was in good company—that Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Secretaries Harold L. lakes and A. Wallace, Dr. Rexford Tugwell and many other worthies, were likewise listed as under the thumb of Stalin. The most absurd and repressive measures designed to terrorize teachers and educators are being introduced into the Legislature at Sacramento by the bale. I shall have occasion to say more about these later. It may take more than a Supreme Court rebuke to California justice to secure the release of Tom Mooney in such an atmosphere. I rode part way across the continent with a prominent San Francisco merchant who did not know my political or economic opinions. He made it clear that Mooney is now identified in the conservative mind with the strike and the Sinclair movement. To free him would be to put the stamp of approval upon these subversive episodes. This seemed to be the opinion of other California conservatives with whom I spoke concerning Mooney. Sinclair has been beaten, but poverty has not been ended in California. I was told, for example, by reputable relief officers that no less than one-third of the inhabitants of the great Los Angeles bounty are on some form of relief — Federal, state or local.

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL

THE recently arrived Ambassador of Cuba, Senor Dr. Guillermo Patterson, a delightfully polished gentleman with white mustachios and Scotch ancestry, is off shortly for Havana to talk to Cubans about their export trade. “I will not make any speeches,” says His Cuban Excellency, waving a deprecating hand. “Oh, no! No speeches! I know my countrymen. So I shall merely call some of them together and talk as man to man. “I shall say to them; ‘Listen! You want to sell your fruits, your wonderful produce? Weil then, pack your merchandise with care. Look at the way they pack fruit in California! Be advised by me. Pack your fruit with care, wrap each mango and each orange separately! Thus you will sell your produce and Cuba will become rich again.’ ” As an impromptu salesman of ideas, Envoy Patterson has already had marked success in Washington. Accompanied by his two beautiful daughters, one blond, one brunet sand appropriately nicknamed “Night” and “Day”), he goes from drawing room to drawing room, feted and admired. A lady who heard him expound his belief in the revival of Cuban trade, remarked: “But, Mr. Ambassador, you speak such perfect English! And your name—Patterson—is Scotch!” “Why not?” smiled His Cuban Excellency. “My grandfather was Scotch and didn’t speak a word of Spanish.” More linguistic than his grandfather, Senor Patterson speaks Spanish with a pure Castilian accent (a somewhat rare trait among Cubans), can recite Shakespeai®, and also can discourse fluently in French and Italian. n u a MRS. WILLIAM McCRACKEN, sprightly ard good-natured wife of “Bill” McCracken, former Assistant Secretary of Commerce, who is serving 10 days in jail for contempt of the United States Senate, is taking her husband’s detention with ers’ire fortitude. The other day, attractive Mrs. McCracken happened tc si* next to Emil Hurja, special assistant to Postmaster Jim Farley, at dinner. The orchestra played she “Merry Widow” waltz. "WpJ.” remarked Mi’s. McCracken to her companion, “That's my theme song for 10 days.” What fooled the captain of the Australian cruiser in the South Pacific was that he thought the call for help from the Seth Parker sounded too much like a radio news broadcast

Your letter must he sinned, hut names will he withheld at request oj the letter writer.) tt a tt OFFERS EXPLANATION OF G. O. P WALKOUT By Representative H. H. JSvans. In a recent newspaper article one Mr. Hiner has used my name in regard to the minority walkout of the Legislature on the budget bill. I am positive that Mr. Hiner would never have written part of that article if he had been familiar with the fthets in the matter. The Republicans did not walk out for the exercise, but to accomplish a purpose which was carried as far as it could be carried. We had determined in caucus that the budget was too high and that we would not vote for it. In the committee of the whole house we had offered amendments that would have reduced the budget about $5,000,000, and we forced a roll call on seven of them and were defeated, 61 to 33, as the chairman announced every time. Then we of the minority were ruled out of order on a roll call on our amendments; I appealed from the decision of the chair and the majority sustained him; and then I notified the chair that unless we had fairer treatment, that the minority would walk out. His reply to me was directing the reading* clerk to “read on.” Then we made a motion to adjourn, which was held “out of order.” Then I made a motion to make a special order of business on the following Monday, the time then being Friday. That was held out of order. Then I warned the chair that we would leave the chamber if we did not get fairer treatment and he directed the clerk to “read on,” and then all the Republicans but Mr. Knapp left the chamber, Mr. Knapp having been left to question a quorum. As soon as we were out Mr Knapp questioned a quorum, but was held out of order. In about 10 minutes I returned to the chamber, as we had previously arranged, and I counted 48 members in their seats. Then I questioned the quorum and asked for a roll call and the chairman said: “The chair sees a quo-rum-read on.” When the clerk had concluded the reading of the bill the majority made a motion to arise and report back to the House, which was done without a quorum and the House accepted the report of the committee of the whole without a quorum. Two committee reports were then made and a bill was introduced without a quorum and then they adjourned. This left the budget bill up for second reading on Monday and it was necessary for the minority to be In their seats to offer amendments and make the record clear. On Tuesday the bill was passed and would have been passed had the minority remained out, because it only takes 51 votes to pass a bill and with all rules set aside or ignored they would have passed it anyway. We also knew that the majority had the power to arrest and fine or censure us if we remained out, which was unnecessary, as we had accomplished our purpose, namely: Let the people of Indiana know what was actually going on and the manner in which administration measures were being rammed through. Mr. Hiner also speaks of the Democratic Senators going to Ohio in 1925. The bolt in 1925 was engineered by D. C. Stephenson, and tt was he wiip made the comoro-

ONE THING HE COULD DO

Economy Program Put Up to Governor

By C. R. Fitzpatrick. An open letter to Gov. Paul V. McNutt: I have noted statements in the newspapers to the effect that you will submit, without recommendation, to the Indiana General Assembly, some 20 bills embodying the recommendations of the State Committee on Governmental Economy. Asa student of government, you, Mr. McNutt, can not help but know that the taxpayers and business men of this state are 100 per cent behind this program. You have no doubt noted reports in the local newspapers of the indorsement of these recommendations by dozens of prominent individuals and business and patriotic organizations, just a few of whom are the Associated Retailers of Indiana, Indiana Commercial Secretaries’ Association, Indianapolis and Indiana Leagues of Women Voters, Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, Indiana Manufacturers’ Association, Indianapolis Real Estate Board, Har-

mise that if they would come back they would not be fined SIOOO each, and it was Stephenson who went to Ohio and brought them back. When Stephenson appeared in the hotel at Daytbn, 0., one of the Senators, who was the ringleader in the walkout, rushed up and put his arm around Stephenson’s neck and said: “My God, Steve, I was never so glad to see any one in my life.” The cases are not parallel, and it is plain to be seen that Mr. Hiner is not familiar with his subject. SUM ABOUT LEGALIZING THIS AND THAT By Birdella Beam. Columbu*. It has been said if we do not progress we retrograde; that we can not stand still. Have we stood still too long? It seems because our leaders can not get together on the care of our old people, why not do like the Indians? When their aged people could no longer travel they were given some food, a weapon to defend themselves and left to die. What are we doing today? Prohibition failed - because of the bootlegger, so we legalize, to control the bootlegger. For the same reason we want to legalize betting. People will bet anyway. Well, shall we go back and legalize polygamy? There is certainly a notorious amount of bootleg polygamy. Will that help? There are more murders, suicides, divorces, triangles, homes destroyed, children ruined — shall we legalize these because we can not control human passions? We legalize drink because we can not control human appetites. tt a a BANKING SYSTEM CONDEMNED Bv John Hennessey. The caption, “Our Banking System in Peril,” appeared in The Indianapolis Star of Feb. 21. Who does the writer include in “our?” Certainly not the people of the United States, as they have had nothing to do with it for decades. Why threaten the people with something that has already befallen them? Hauptmann can not be scared now as he has already been condemned to death. The government can not control credit. It is not fit, so you say, but there would be no deposits today without the guarantee. The financial spoilers who called themselves bankers want to be given a fresh vote of confidence, when their evidence before the Sen-

rison Township Taxpayers’ Economy League of Blackford County, Lake County Taxpayers’ Association, Association to Cut City and County Costs of Evansville and Vanderburgh County, and many others. Directly contrary to the recommendations of the committee, several bills creating additional circuit courts in Indiana are now pending in the Legislature or have been submitted to you for approval. The members of the several organizations named, above would never forgive the approval of such unwonted waste of public funds and flagrant disregard of the recommendations, made after long and exhaustive study, of a committee of experts such as the State Committee on Governmental Economy. In the light of these facts, will you, Mr. Governor, jeopardize your own political future and that of the Democratic party in Indiana through your failure to demand a strict adhe”ence to the program of this committee?

ate investigating committee and in every court trial demonstrated that they had a 12-year-old mentality. Os course, they did not care to incriminate themselves. The system they want is one by which they have exploited the masses by causing a man-made depression every 15 years. They want to protect the widow and orphan after they have been despoiled mentally, physically and financially. They are afraid of inflation; it is dishonest, but du Pont was not afraid when his stock was increased in value a hundredfold in a few months. They want to collect on gold contracts while wanting to cancel foreign contracts. They are now scared stiff, because they see the Frankenstein of their own creation about to take away their pilfered privileges. They carried the pitcher of greed to the well once too often. They have ravaged the great middle class, which is too intelligent to capitulate. There has been too much distress, too many suicides, too many insane, too much utter hopelessness to put in or leave in charge the vicious, brutal, so-called rugged individualism of the past. The people are not interested in what happened to France or Germany. Enough has happened here in every home in the land.

PREDICTS VICTORY FOR LIBERAL LEADER By Bertha B. Miller. May I thank the two contributors for their replies to my recent letter in The Indianapolis Times? What good is coming to the surface! In striving for better economic conditions, it would seem, we shall likely find it to take the trail that leads up, via technocracy and socialism, but call it economics. The leader who appears with a platform advocating improved economic conditions or attracts attention to himself as a liberal economist will undoubtedly carry an election without opposition. But, could it be possible we have needed a foundation to be laid—needed the ground to be broken in preparation for social and industrial advancement? Let us please keep in mind our present President ran on the Democratic ticket and not on the Socialist ticket. Many of his projects are on a large scale and some of them far-reaching. The influence

.FEB. 28, 1935

of his efforts ultimately will be felt the world over. Those not engaged in welfare work probably do not see the need for a social form of government, a non-profitable industrial arrangement. They do not see the urgency of immediate action and they are in the majority. While 15,000.000 unemployed persons represent a vast horde, they are still in the minority and it remains that is necessary to convince the majority that a socialist-tech-nocratic form of government is the need of the hour. However, it is more difficult to convince this group because they have the comforts of life and they can not visualize the suffering, the misery of those reduced to an animal state of existence. They can not seg the need of radical change. People who are contented prefer old methods. Who, what can convince them? An awareness of the needs of our fellow-men needs to be written on our hearts.
