THURSDAY. MARCH 7. 1935. | A GOOD WORK RELIEF BILL ABETTER work relief bill is back before the Senate. It that body can persuade Huey Long to stop talking precinct politics long enough to get action on the bill, millions of idle people on the dole may soon be handling the tools of labor. By apportioning the four-billion-dollar fund among eight separate classes of work projects, the appropriations committee has met the “blank check" objections to the original measure. This change and others also have helped remove que.->t ions of const ft ut;ona’;:!y arising from the Supreme Court's ruling in the oil case. The bill earmarks 880 million for direct relief. and aulhoazes the President to draw any additional sums needed for this purpose from the four billion works fund. This feature, coupled with the provision authorizing the President to shift 20 per cent of the funds from one type of project to another, provides ample flexibility. Fortunate also is the lack of any provision compelling the President to spend all of a specific sum for a specific purpose. When and if private industry absorbs the unemployed, the President will be able to carry out his taper-ing-off prorram and save some of this outlay for the taxpayers. The allotment of 60 million for the Civilian Conservation Corps will be generally approved. No other type of relief has proved qiute as satisfactory as the CCC. It has kept on its rolls more than 300.000 young men of relief families, many of whom otherwise would have become street-corner loafers or homeless wanderers. The CCC has paid extra dividends socially as well as in the conservation of forests and soil. A good part of the 800 million allotted for highways, streets and elimination of grade ero. sings should be used for the latter. In re- < ears the urge for immediate unemployment relief has resulted in much wasteful and indiscriminate highway construction. Many roads have been built, leading nowhere in particular and accommodating an insignificant volume of traffic. Since roads are costly to maintain, more care should be taken in originating projects. But grade crossing elimination in this country has run far behind the needs of both highway *nd rail traffic. By helping to eliminate crossings, the government may encourage railroads to tap their reserves to build more modem equipment and thereby provide new jobs for some of the four million unemployed normally attached to heavy industries. The 450-mtliion-dollar allotment for lowcost housing and 500 million for rural rehabilitation can help revive the distressed building construction industry and measurably raise the living standards of thousands of needy urban and rural families. These and other features of the bill comprise President Roosevelt's plan to conserve our human and natural resources, and take the government out of "this business of relief.” Now the plan is gj*x in black and white. Let it pass.

INTERESTING—AT THIS TIME “ 1) EGARDED by the leaders of big business as a pestiferous radical, he was in fact a godsend to them. He was the lightning rod to earn- off harmlessly the pent-up fury of the storm which might otherwise have caused vast havoc.'* James Truslow Adams on President THEODORE Roosevelt, in ‘The Epic of America.'* published in 1931. YOUTH SMILES ON TO WAR IT is interesting to speculate how long the institution of war could be maintained if it were impossible to persuade aa young, untried soldiers that the affair was a gay and ronir - adventure. oung fellow who is starting off for th. *ront invariably goes with a song and a smile How he comes back may be something else aam; but at least he starts out with the conviction that the is blue, that he is a stout fellow, and that unimaginable excitement and glamorous doings are ahead of him. All this was called to mind recently by publication of a newspaper photograph showing a contingent of Italian troops embarking for Africa, wnere Signor Mussolini seems on the verge of starting something. It was a traditional photograph of its kind; grinning, hilarious young men waving their arms, fondling their guns and laughing; heads protruding from car windows, eager faces expressing all the gay anticipation of youth beginning a high adventure. And to look at it is to feel a deep regret that experience is. after all, the only teacher to which youth will listen. Young men have been going off to war through endless centuries, and each time they have started out in just this way—with smiles and laughter and expectant cheers to bump Into reality quite unlike their brave expectations. Probably Caesar's legions pulled out of Rome with the same air . . . only to find out. when they got into the thick of things in Gaul, that there was precious little romance in having Gallic spears stuck into their stomachs, and that soldiering carries with it an uncommon amount of bndge-buildmg. ditch-diggmg. and similar back-breaking and unromantic jobs Every army since then has had to learn the same sort of lesson. The Crusaders started out with fluttering banners, and discovered that typhus was one of those features of war that they hadn't thought about. The ebullient young colonists who enrolled la 1771 couldn't look ahead to Valley F&ge;

the young Germans who gaily chalked “Nach Paris” on their railway cars as they left Berlin had no way of forfteeing the horrors of Verdun and Ypres. And so it goes. The history of war is one long, tragic story of terrible disillusionment of youth, and it is there for any one to read; but no one heeds it. Each young generation must learn for itself. It simply will not believe what it reads. So we have these Italian boys singing and laughing as they head for Africa—and to look at their picture is to understand why it is still possible for war to exist. OVERLAPPING TAXES T* ESOLUTIONS passed by the Second Interstate Assembly in Washington should cheer burdened and bewildered taxpayers with the assurance that at last something may be done about the duplicating taxes levied by cities, counties, states and nation. Delegates to this important get-together of states followed recommendations of their Interstate Commission on Conflicting Taxation. In behalf of fair play all around, they urged the drawing of certain lines beyond which the states must not encroach on Federal tax sources and vice versa. They urged the Federal government to stop levying taxes on gasoline and electricity, sources the states consider their own. Between cities, counties, states and Federal government, the willing automobile is being worked to death. In the 16 years since Oregon levied the first gasoline tax, motorists have been carrying an increasingly heavy burden. Every state now levies its tribute; so do many cities and counties. Often a motorists pays four different gasoline taxes, including the Federal 1-cent levy. Gasoline taxes now average 5.2 cents a gallon, a sales tax of nearly 40 per cent. Such rates, of course, invite bootlegging and other evasions. The states, in turn, were urged to withdraw from taxes on beer and tobacco. Congress already has a heavy beer tax. The states should tax beer only “for regulatory purposes.” Thirteen states recently have entered the traditionally Federal field of tobacco taxation. As with gasoline, excessive and double taxes on beer and tobacco encourage evasions and reduce revenues. Sales taxes also are growing to burdensome proportions, with 26 states now collecting them for emergency purposes. We can not agree with the assembly’s suggestion that the Federal government levy a general emergency sales tax and allocate revenue to the states. Worthy of study by Congress, however, is its recommendation that state income taxes be credited against Federal collections on a graduated basis and the Federal income tax base broadened to make up the diiference. The assembly proposes a permanent, official Tax Revision Council, composed of seven representatives each from Federal, state and city governments, to plan reallocating of revenues and functions among themselves. In justice to the taxpayers, efficiency and intergovernmental comity, such a step should be undertaken at once. As President Roosevelt says, this question of overlapping taxes is “of prime importance” to our country.

STILL WAITING ACTION IF the people of this country ever really appreciate how terrible the auto traffic situation is. you will see a sudden flare of laws, regulations, and supervision more drastic than anything now dreamed of. Take a current example. A 6-year-old Cleveland boy, excited and tickled because he is at last big enough to go to school, makes it a point to hurry to the schoolhouse to be there in plenty of time. One day he gets there ahead of time; the traffic officer detailed to the school intersection hasn’t arrived. The boy crosses, anyway—and a motor car kills him. Now this sort of thing is almost too common to be worth mentioning. Yet when you stop to think about it you realize, all of a sudden, that it is the tragic product of a situation which is absolutely intolerable. Why we continue to put up with it—why we don't get up on our hind legs and put this traffic juggernaut under control regardless of the cost or the difficulty—is the greatest mystery of the age. PRICES KEEP GOING UP XX7HATEVER may be happening to the re- * ’ covery program as a whole, the cost of living seems to be making an extremely successful comeback. Agriculture Secretary Wallace himself predicts that meat prices will be up 32 per cent by 1936. Beef and pork will be up 22 per cent by July 1. Porterhouse steak and bacon are apt to be classed as "company dishes” before the year is over. All of which lends some point to the complaint of the People's Lobby that the consumer is getting a pretty poor sort of protection in the campaign to put the farmer in better shape. Th’re may be exaggeration in the lobby’s assertion that the recent "purge” In AAA means that “exploiting and profiteering interests have got control of that agency,” but it is pretty obvious that the consumer is carrymg more than his share of the load. CRIME GETS BLOW I 'HE shooting to death of such outlaws as A John Dillmger and "Pretty Boy” Floyd is easily the most spectacular part of the Department of Justice's drive on crime. Equally important, but far less exciting, is the quiet and methodical way in which the "G men” are cracking down on persons who give aid and comfort to gangsters. Twenty persons stood before a Federal judge in Dallas, Tex., the other day to receive sentences for having harbored or assisted tough Clyde Barrow, recently deceased, and his cigar-puffing paramour, Bonnie Parker, also recently deceased. Among them were the mothers of the two outlaws, assorted sisters, brothers, friends and a scattering of what might euphemistically be called bu*iitca associates. At one time or another these persons had helped the outlaws hide from the police, or had given them help in getting from some hot spot to a spot not so hot, or had done this or ihat to make their careers oi crime more lucrative. Judge William H. Atwell lost no time in handing out sentences which in some cases run as high as two years in prison. The two mothers drew 30-day terms in jaiL And as a result, only one person of all those rho at

one time associated with the Barrow gang remains unpunished today—the gangster Raymond Hamilton, now being hunted by posses all over the southwest. Now a roundup of this kind does not get a tenth of the j .blic attention that the actual slaving or im; isonment of a notorious criminal gets; bit in the long run it is every bit as important in the drive to stamp out lawlessness. No outlaw plays a lone hand, in modem America. The man who tried it wouldn't last a month. There must be friends who can furnish hiding places in time of trouble, who can advance funds in the low spells between robberies, who can carry communications and help in forming plans and do all the other little services which enable a criminal to carry on his career. To knock off the leading criminal and leave this network of friends and helpers untouched is to invite repetition of the trouble. Getting the leader himself is the first job, of course. But after that has been done, the persons who made his career possible need attention. Blows like the one against the Barrow clan in Texas are the best kind of crime prevention work. Nothing will put a crimp in activities of the Dillingers and the Floyds like a general puolic realization that to give any kind of help to such men is exceedingly unhealthful. THE ALIBI BILL 'T'HE alibi bill pending in the state Legislature is House Bill 424. It provides simply this: That a defendant charged with a crime who intends to rely upon an alibi, must provide the essential facts of his alibi 10 days before the start of his trial. Passage of the bill means that the prosecutors all over Indiana will have an even chance to investigate the all-too-often-perjured “alibis” presented In criminal cases. Drop a postcard to your state Senator or Representative. Tell him you want H. B. 424 passed. Pasage means a step toward stamping out perjury and, in doing that, stamping out crime.

Liberal Viewpoint BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES OUT of the fog of reaction which is gathering in California there stands forth one clear ray of light, namely the comeback of Judge Ben B. Lindsey, who was elected judge of the Superior Court in Los Angeles last November by the largest vote ever cast in a contest for that office in the history of the state. In discussing his election with me, Judge Lindsey admitted that he was . somewhat surprised at the outcome. He believed that he slipped by because the big interests in California were too much interested in stopping Upton Sinclair and his EPIC plan. They had little time or money to spend in snufiing out the judge’s aspirations. In spite of this, a bitter effort was made locally to destroy the judge. The campaign against him was vindictive and full of vinification. It was one of the bitterest and one of the most unscrupulous oppositions which the judge has ever faced. But the money that was poured into southern California by the big interests was spent mainly to defeat Sinclair, and the judge won handsomely in spite of the fact that he had to conduct his campaign personally on a shoestring with his wife acting as his campaign manager. The judge’s victory is a sweeping vindication of his brave fight against his Denver enemies. Liberals everywhere will be likely to hail his comeback with gratification. When all is said and done, Ben Lindsey has been a symbol of humanity and civilization for over a third of a century. tt tt tt JUDGE LINDSEY first came prominently before the American public as a pioneer in the movement to bring about a more civilized treatment of youthful criminals. Probation and juvenile court acts had been passed before his experiment, but he was the first to give these more humane methods a practical trial and to dramatize his efforts through his writings and lectures. Before his day it was common to treat juveniles in the same harsh way that we still deal with adult criminals, and to sentence them to brutal reform schools, where they were almost inevitably headed toward a career as habitual criminals. In 1899 the Chicago Womans Club started a vigorous campaign for sensible treatment of juvenile delinquents and the state of Colorado passed a law in the same year which permitted Judge Lindsey to put such advanced ideas into operation. Today, juvenile courts are commonplace in all advanced states of the Union and are accepted as one of the major advances of humanitarianism in our generation. But it took great courage, nearly 40 years ago, to espouse such practices in the face of organized savagery. The fact that we take juvenile courts as a matter of course today is due more than anything else to Judge Lindsey’s daring and perseverance- and to the fact that he carried on an educational campaign in benalf of his program all over rhe United States. a tt tt AFTER having made the United States safe for juvenile courts, Judge Lindsey next devoted himself, beginning a little more than 10 year ago, to promoting more civilized and reasonable ideas and practices with respect to marriage, divorce and sex problems. It was here that he developed his famous notion of companionate marriage, as a safeguard against prostitution, venereal disease, abortions and needless divorces. This campaign was linked up closely with the defense of birth control. which was an integral part of his companionate scheme. In several books and many lectures Judge Lindse’- carried on propaganda for this program. As was to be expected, the opposition was more fierce and unscrupulous than that which he hac been compelled to face in defending his juvenile court movement, But the more sensible ideas that prevail in this field today owe much to the judge's persistence and bravery. Tire reactionary interests in Colorado never forgave Judge Lindsey for his able prosecution of one of the great American utility moguls. So a few years ago they stirred up the klan to launch" a mob movement against him and they disbarred him on the basis of a trumped-up and trivial charge. But he was cleared by the California bar. where he could get a fair hearing. Prior to my recent visit with the judge in Los Angeles, the last time I had seen him was when I presided at his meeting at Mecca Temple after his run-in with Bishop Manning at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine a couple of y ears g&o. He is now anew man. He is cheerful, industrious and looks ten years younger. And he has had some lucky breaks recently. Mary Pickford’s divorce and his more recent wrestling with the Hollywood marital quadrangle have once more made him a national figure on the front pages of out national newspapers. There is every reason to expect that the judge has still before "him at least a decade in which to serve as a staunch protagonist of urbanity and decency. At the present rate of exchange, one should be able to get at least four iron crosses for one Kentucky colonel. Small colleges are definitely needed in our educational system, says a learned professor. There seems to be sound sense in that, as even the raccoon coat makers must liva.

Your letter must be signed, but names will bc withheld at request of the letter writer.) tt a a CHURCH FIELD FOR TEACHING IS UNEXPLORED By L. B. A number of years ago Woodrow Wilson made the following statement which well illustrates the subconscious moral attitude of the average man and woman today: “There is no more priggish business than the development of character.” Whether we are willing to admit the fact or not, this era in which we live is essentially not one of goodness or beauty, but is rather an age of truth, wherein intellectuality takes precedence over all other attributes of human consciousness. The leaders of the church, though sincerely imbued with the saving grace of spirituality, have shown little ingenuity in re-evaluat-ing their resources for the purpose of more adequately adapting them to the increasingly impatient and ever questioning minds of men. They have, on the contrary, either evaded the glaring inconsistencies or resorted to pie socials and violent exhortation. The more baffling become the ravages of sin, the more violently do they lift their voices in protest against it. Yet the common man remains, even yet, only partially convinced that his immediate and uncompromising surrender to the Holy Spirit will provide tomorrow’s supply of bread for an already halfstarved family. Here lies a gap in honest thinking only partially bridged by the church. Ministers, as a class, are poor pedagogues. They stifle us with formality, monotonous routines and incessant and unvaried repetition. They ignore the questions which we can not answer and goad our souls to further iniquity by eternal emphasis upon the well-known ravages of sin. These accusations are true enough in themselves, but lose their significance and vital challege when couched in phrases of unvaried monotony. What men need most of all today is an entirely new and daringly original approach to religion. a laboratory instead of a lecture method of soul-saving. In this connection, the writer once asked a successful teacher how 'she obtained such remarkable results. Her reply was: “I believe it is because I have so many different ways of getting at the same result.” On this charge the modern church today stands convicted. The writer, if given a subsequent opportunity, will at some later date attempt to point out a few vital factors in “character building" which have been overlooked by the church. a tt a A FEW COMMENTS ON THE AUTO OF TOMORROW By Jimmy Cafooras. There has been a great torrent of predictions and forecasts of trends. One more or less will hardly matter. Consequently let us consider the motor car. That it is changing shape is only too manifest. In fact it is evolving so fast that it would be quite a difficult task to foretell what manner of creation will grace the third or fourth automobile show hence. Originally the automobile was literally a horseless carriage as any visitor at the World’s Fair could see. They just subtracted the horse and added a primitive two-cylinder motor. As the automobile increased in speed and utility the horseless carriage idea was thrown into discard and we had huge boxes. Motor trucks until very recently were boxes on wheels. The old, touring cars were boxes with strapped-on lids. Hardy any one will dyjy the

THE ONE-HOSS SHAY

Middle Class Is Boosted

By George Gould Iline. The middle class has been kicked around considerably in this country. Something or other that shows symptoms of being a halfwit has done the kicking. It has been referred to, politely, by those who hold themselves in, as the delicate business psychology. In this attempt at an analysis we can call it the D. B. P. for short. Its behavior is peculiar—like that of an epilept’c subject to fits. For instance, when it reaches the limit of hysterical enthusiasm, it will fall fiat on its back and stare at the stars. Then it will stagger up, frothing at the mouth, and thrash around, knocking over banks, businesses and properties. This has the effect of picking the middle class up by the pants-legs and shaking them up and down. When the contents of the pockets have rolled out, the D. B. P. will then boot the ex-middle, nowlower class over to the press. The press will then plaster them with labels of bungler, moocher, whiner, four-flusher, pauper and tax-eater and howl that they be disfranchised, sterilized and fingerprinted. In this country they are to be

box-like structure of sedans of by gone days. Now anew note whistles in the ears of every one. Streamlining and more streamlining. Streamlining is in the process of revolutionizing the whole appearance and make-up of the motor car and every other means of transport. To understand streamlining we must do a bit of research work. So let us bear together. Objects that travel through space in any direction are spherical when nature has anything to say in the matter. Objects that travel along a certain path and in a certain plane are spun-out spheres or mashed spheres. They are something like cigars. In passing through the air a motor car meets the resistance of the air. If it has a rounded tapering front that by slow, gentle degrees reaches to the middle it is slicing the air with the least possible resistance. From the middle to the back the size should gradually diminish to a point. In that manner we have the air flowing easily from the object in question. Were it blunt in the rear it would create a retarding vacuum which tends to hold back the object. So what do we see? Motor cars of the future larger in front than in back. Rounded fronts and pointed backs, body, lights, fenders and everything. tt 8 8 AUTO DEATH TOLL SURPASSES WAR LOSS By S. A. Bishop. Every day we read in The Times of a number of people killed and injured in auto accidents during the preceding 24 hours and we frequently read and hear “safety talks” by various organizations, including your good paper, which are trying to do everything possible to stop this seemingly useless and careless slaughter which is “worse than war,” with the total steadily increasing. In 1925, 21.628 people were killed by automobiles. In 1934, 36.000 people were killed by automobiles. 50,510 members of the A. E. F. were killed in action and died of wounds during 18 months of the World War. 51,539 people were killed by automobile accidents in the last 18 months. Every one should make a personal application of this lesson to himself and call the attention of

turned out in contented pastures of SSO a month, full time, take it or leave it, thus building a wall around the upper classes over which they may not climb or peep. The press howls that peeping should be verboten as seeing income tax returns would make them discontented. We are now beginning to learn that the rate of the middle class and necessities of life have not been in the control of a remarkable intelligence, but have been kicked around by something whose fits get longer, whose rages get more violent and whose destruction gets more complete, as time passes. And it would seem that the time has come for this thing, whatever it is, to cease cackling so triumphantly that it has "brought greater happiness and well-being than have ever been enjoyed, any time, anywhere” and pay for the damage it has done. It should be made to pay by higher income and inheritance taxes strictly in the higher brackets. And surrender its delusions of grandeur. And quit kicking the middle class around with its small businesses and property values.

1935 parents to the fact that their children, according to these estimates, will stand one chance in three of meeting death or serious injury from reckless automobile drivers. For every family of three children, only two will have a chance to meet the normal hazards of life, one of these three boys and girls is destined to be needlessly killed before he has completed his normal life span. Statistically, the reckless driver and the motor car is life’s hugest joke; its toll makes war seem like a spring outing. Editor’s Note—Amen. tt o tt HIGHWAY CHIEF SUGGESTED AS GUBERNATORIAL PROSPECT By Ammon H. Abbott. In a few months the two major parties will be casting about for the best available candidate to lead them in the campaign of 1936 and as the Democratic candidate for the office of Governor of this great state of ours there is one citizen who stands out above all others as the one pre-eminently qualified. First—As a citizen. Second—As a trained public servant. Third —To know him is to love him for the true, honest, public-spirited citizen and public servant that he is. Fourth — Coming from a county that gave to Indiana and the Nation the Little Napoleon of democracy, Tom Marshall, he would follow in his footsteps in the conduct of the state’s affairs. For those who wish good government a boost for James D. Adams of Columbia City for Governor of Indiana will be a step in the right direction. a a a PLEA FOR AID OF LEPERS IS ISSUED By Florence Alden McLeod.

that makes them outcasts. Every day little children become infected because a diseased parent is not properly cared for. Money and bandages are needed. Leper colonies can never have enough bandages. Tear old sheets, towels, and napkins into strips 3 or 5 inches wide, roll, and pin with a safety pin, or send any white material, except gauze, and the patients will make their own bandages.

The members of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board again object to another worthy project Less than a year ago this same group objected to the present low-cost housing project; now we find them objecting to the subsistence homestead project. Does the real estate board exist for the purpose of protecting the exploiter from the awakening of the exploited? The low-cost housing project will provide better housing conditions at less rent than tenants now pay to the benefactors of the realtors. The subsistence homestead project not only offers better housing conditions, but also gives the tenants an opportunity to really live, move and have their being. Why the objections?
