FOR THE INDIANA FARMER T?LECi'tIC household equipment for rural homes o! Indiana, sold on easy long-term credit with Federal backing, would be a long step toward improving country life. That and extension of power lines through more farming areas compose a program. described in yesterday’s Times, which deserves public approval. Indiana is noted for its excellent state and county roads. The farmer has been taken out of the mud He can transport what he raises more easily ' than can farmers in many other states. But the 1 farmer and his wife, in many instances, still are i living in the nineteenth century so fRr as the mechanics of farming and keeping house are concerned. This is because they lack electricity. If this new Federal plan goes through rural residents soon will have refrigeration, which they now lack, They will be able to do away with oil lamps, i They can run farm machinery without much of the ! present hard hand labor. The possibilities are almost limitless. For the manufacturer of electrical equipment this plan opens a market which has seemed permanently closed. We hope the formalities may be cleared away soon so that the work of extending power and selling equipment may begin. LET ’EM EAT CAVIAR fed daily to 20 babies for a month, is reported by chemists to have cured 17 of them of rickets. The price of caviar being what it is, needy families whose undernourished children have developed that disease will get scant consolation from this proposal of a substitute for cod liver oil. In its net. result, this scientific solution is reminiscent of Marie Antoinette's "Let ’em eat cake." BAIT FOR SUCKERS Tt/f ANY funny things wall happen before the presidential election campaign is over, hut it is doubtful whether there will be anything funnier or phonier than the two-man Democratic rebellion started by Gov. Talmadge of Georgia and John Henry Kirby of Houston. If we had the names of those who are financing this political sideshow, we would publish them as the prize sucker list of the year. But sight unseen It’s a spie guess that these financial backers have more haired than political savvy, and more money than ! they know how to handle. The stock in trade which those two political adventurers apparently have marketed is their alleged nuisance value to the anti-Roosevelt cause. They claim to be about to start a revolt among the “Jeffersonian Democrats” of the South, with the purpose of capturing enough Democratic convention delegates to block Roosevelt’s renomination. Short of that, apparently, the alleged p!y ir, to split the Democratic Party sufficiently to enable Mr. Roosevelt’s Republican opponent to win the general election. Any one who knows anything about politics should know that they will get exactly nowhere. Instead of becoming a formidable presidential candidate. Gov. Talmadge will be lucky if he even gets to the convention as a delegate. His own state of Georgia according to the current Literary Digest poll, is 2 for 1 for the New Deal. As for John Henry Kirby, it is doubtful whether he can control a single precinct, either in Houston or elsewhere. But while Mr. Kirby’s political influence mnv be nil, his capacity as a money raiser is not to be sneezed at. And hot air is the thing he sel’s beet. Asa high tariff and low tax lobbyist, associated with J. A. Arnold, another genius at shaking down fat cats, Mr. Kirby a few' years ago helped raise a slush fund of $360,574. A Senate lobby committee tried diligently, but failed to find that the Arnoid-Kirb.v team ever did much of anything to earn the money. AN ECHO A FEW days ago the National Association of Manufacturers thundered a curse upon the New j Deal and all Its works and promised that the j “American System" could care for all the jobless in the good old-fashioned way. For those who still consider the N. A. M. a prophet with honor in the land, we republish the words of its general counsel and guiding spirit, James A. i Emery, uttered in October. 1929, on the very eve of j the Great Collapse: •Detached students of the American scene,’ he j chirped then, "unite in declaring our progress due to a national sense of freedom and security. Every highway of progress is open to talent and character. The fruits of effort are secure and the individual finds his liberty protected against the arbitrary interference of strangers, and his rights and property secured by the national and local administration of Justice.” THEIR NOSES KNOW THE Royal Canadian Mounted Police may always get their man, but it takes a United States revenuer <o smell cut a still—even in Canada. Production of illicit liquor in Canada has just ! been reduced some 6200 gallons a day largely because investigators of the United States alcohol tax unit possess highly developed senses of smell. Following repeal in this country and the reor- ! ganizalion of Uncle Sams alcohol tax detectives, many large bootleg distillers fled to the tall timbers of secluded spots. Some of them crossed into Canada. Last summer there poured across the upper New York state border a deluge of liquor which agents were convinced was made in Canada. It was being j old in Buffalo, New York and other seaboard cities. ' Canada s mounties, called into conference, agreed to go on the hunt. Weeks went by without results, j Finally it was suggested that Canada "borrow" a few j select United States sull-chasers. The deal was consummated in Wasmngton and the agents, minus only the mounties’ red uniforms, swung into action. The trail led to Montreal. One day a CanadianAmerican patrol was coursing the streets of St. Pierre, a Montreal suburb, when an American agent took a deep whiff of air. His nose knew, and within a few minutes a 4000v gallon still was found in an abandoned Tha

revenue man. long trained in prohibition days, had spotted the odor of fermenting mash. The investigators moved down to the vicinity of Toronto ana smelled out a second still, this one producing 2200 gallons a day. Treasury officials, who direct the alcohol tax unit, say. illicit distilling in Canada is profitable now for consumption in Canada itself. The $7 domestic tax offers a good differential to the bootleggers. NIPPON’S NAVAL YARDSTICK 'T'O the mm in the street the London naval conference is just so much Greek. Japan demands the right to a fleet equal to Britain’s or America’s. Why shouldn’t she have that right? The answer is, she already has it. Every sovereign nation has the “right" to an army, navy or air force as big as it wants or can pay for. The real question before the London parley, therefore, is not Japan’s "right” to such a fleet, but whether she and the other powers will voluntarily agree to hold their fleets down to their actual needs and thus achieve world limitation. Which brings us to the second point: How big should the police force or fire department of a city be? Obviously it depends upon the size of the city, how spread out it is and the nature of the job the patrolmen or firemen may be called on to perform. a u n REAT BRITAIN is an island off the coast of a Europe armed to the teeth. France, Germany, Italy and other powers maintain sizeable fleets. A combination of them might isolate her and starve her to death. Germany alone came near doing it during the World War. Britain must think of these things. Britain likewise has major commitments all over the globe—in India, Australia, Asia, South Africa, Canada and the Far East. The Mediterranean-Red Sea route, cut by a hostile power or powers, might doom her empire. Protecting these interests requires many ships. The United States has two enormous coastlines, 3000 miles apart, to defend. Then there are Alaska, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Panama, plus the implied obligations under the Monroe Doctrine and the Open Door. Were Uncle Sam a stickler in such matters—which, fortunately he is not—he might insist upon an Atlantic fleet as big as Britain’s, and a Pacific fleet as big as Japan's. For the Panama Canal could easily be destroyed by an enemy before the first shot of a war was fired. Patently, then, as long as the great sea powers play the present naval game, the requirements of the United States are reasonably clear. It contents itself with approximate parity with Britain. Japan proper is a small island off the coast of Asia. China and Russia are her nearest neighbors. Neither has a fleet which can be called a fleet. The closest anywhere approaching hers as to size are those of America 5000 miles distant, and Britain’s, 10.000 miles away. Nor has she any territorial interests other than those right at her front door. Why, then, people the world over are asking, does she insist upon so mighty a fleet—a fleet as big as Britain’s and America's which the taxpayers of even those far richer countries support grumblingly? tt tt tt says "national pride” requires it. That is nonsense. France, Germany, Italy and other proud nations accept even smaller navies and think nothing of it. Were pride the yardstick, they would all insist upon ships equalling Britain’s or ours. For none could be more jealous of their national dignity and prestige than they. The real answer must perforce be sought elsewhere. Nor does one need to look far afield. Nippon’s eyes are on China and Eastern Asia. Her plan of empire expansion inevitably is fraught with peril. She feels the need of a big navy to hold the world at bay while she consummates her vast ambitions. Japan’s naval yardstick is something much more practical than pride. ISN’T IT ROMANTIC? TJERHAPS it was a sort of sardonic sense of the fate which awaits his own presidential candidacy among the Grand Lamas of the G. O. P. that moved Senator Borah to offer this gem in his recent radio address: "We are approaching an event the most notable in the affairs of the republic. It has been well and beautifully said that there is no finer spectacle which free government presents to the world than that of a free people voluntarily choosing one of their own number as chief magistrate.” Recalling the "smoke-filled hotel room” of the Chicago Republican convention in 1920, we feel sure that the Idaho liberal must have had his tongue in cheek. IS IT A TRAP? COUGHLIN says he will not put Congressional candidates in the field. “Candidates must seek us,” he explains in speaking of his National Union for Social Justice. Is it a mousetrap the radio priest has built in the pastoral environs of Royal Oak? A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT By Mrs. Walter Ferguson TT is the season for buying Christmas seals: with them we not only brighten up our parcels but help to stamp out tuberculosis. It is the season, therefore, when woman’s moral responsibility in this crusade must be mentioned. For make no mistake about it; we have done more to encourage the spread of the disease than all the seals we are able to buy will remedy. The cult of dieting has been one of the best friends tuberculosis ever had. Six months ago I was in a ready-to-wear shop where a friend works. The buyer for the establishment, a woman in the middle forties, was the subject of a buzz of feminine conversation. She had lost pounds, simply pounds, and “Isn’t it wonderful that Frances could actually wear size 14 now,” and "Dosen’t she look swell?” Frances herself explained how wonderful it was and how it had been done. “I’ve never cared for breakfast.” she said. "For lunch I have a bowl of pale soup, and then at dinner I blow myself to chops and a big fruit salad or something of the kind. I never felt better in my life; it's such a relief to get rid of the excess poundage.” There was a pinched look in Frances’ face, however. that boded no good, and today she is In an Arizona sanatorium. Nobody knows whether she will come back alive. Plain foolishness put her there—the foolishness which has been disseminated for years, and which says that any woman of 40 can have the figure of an 18-vear-old and good health in the bargain. The two things are utterly incompatible. Right now. because of such examples, thousands of girls are dying and thousands of others doomed to go haltingly through life with health permanently injured. They can never be satisfactory wives, nor strong mothers, nor efficient werkgrs at any job.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Squaring The Circle With McCREADY HUSTON

T AM informed that more than 100 wild turkeys have been liberated in Indiana and that the Department of Conservation hopes, by protecting them, to restore this almost extinct bird in numbers great enough to permit a little hunting. This is just one small part of the effort to bring back the America that was. The movement is noticeable all over the country. In New York, during the winter, the state policemen when on horseback, wear coonskin caps with the tail hanging down the back in true Daniel Boone fashion. 1 look forward to the time when Indiana huntsmen will let their hair grow long, tied with a piece of rawhide. tt tt tt Conservationists are among the best citizens of Indiana. They caught the great outdoors before it was too far gone a few years ago and jerked it back. They stocked the streams with fish, built hatcheries, turned game loose, laid out state parks, began opening playgrounds in all sections of the state. Sportsmen tell me that the department as constituted at present is doing a great job. I am glad to know that. I would hate to get up early some morning to shoot a deer and come home disappointed. tt tt tt T TOTEL keeping has developed into a science. In one of the local places the chef makes the breakfast coffee strong, the luncheon and dinner coffee somewhat weaker. He says that’s the way people like it. Maybe so. I like mine to taste like vitriol at any time. On learning this the cook said all I had to do was to tell the waiter and he'd see that my coffee was “thrown over” two or three times more. I was a little puzzled as to what throwing over coffee meant. And was too timid to ask. tt tt a In the same hotel a watchman comes around during the night and tries your door. If it is unlocked he raps and asks you if you want it locked. It gives you a jump to be awakened by a watchman, but I suppose it is a valuable service to the absent-minded who go to bed with their doors unlocked. tt tt tt What to give for Christmas is the problem acute. Some people have customs of their own which identify them. I know an Indiana woman who always sends each of her friends a single poinsettia. This flaming red tropical flower makes a cheerful splash in a room rivaling that of the Christmas tree. It lasts about as long as the tree and reminds the recipients of the affection of their friend all through the Christmas season. Another woman makes peanut brittle and puts it in gay boxes which are distributed on Christmas eve. This is a friendly and intimate custom which I have always though typical of Indiana matrons. tt tt tt best of all, however, is the friend who sends around bags of genuine buckwheat flour. This permits those on the list to make the old-fashioned buckwheat cakes, which were "set” the night before and allowed to “raise ’ in the heat of the kitchen stove. Can't you close your eyes and see your mother’s yellow bowl, filled to the top with the gray batter, all full of bubbles? When you had eaten about a dozen buckwheat cakes, cooked from that on an iron griddle, greased with a piece of bacon rind, you were fairly well fortified for the morning’s work. tt a Os course you've seen that lunch counter in the Statehouse where pay rollers and officials eat at all hours. They ought to call it the pie counter. OTHER OPINION The Canadian Treaty [Rushviile Republican] If the AAA decides we have too many cattle and they should be slaughtered and then it turns out we haven’t enough cattle of our own, it will be comparatively easy to import ’em from Canada under the new arrangements. Not only will we be importing livestock, but we shall be getting dairy products, too. This will make it unnecessary for the farmers of the United States to produce as much butter and cheese as formerly. Then they can pay more attention to tap dancing, animal training and other phases of the more abundant life. There is nothing like a wise paternal government to figure these things out for us. Landon’s Common Sense [Noblesville Ledger] Gov. Alfred Landon—we refuse to boil it down to -Alf—the Kansan Governor, seems to be exciting the interest of the politicians of the G. O. P., as well as the people of the country. He is so common, horse-sensv, without even having enough dignity upon which to stand, another Silent Cal, with the same ideas cf frugality and economy, and yet able to make considerable money in an honest, straightforward way.

Noll In the Eccles-Johnson inflation episode of Dec. 11, the general shows signs of a one-track mind, by limiting to one the ways that inflation might come. Holding firm the value of currency is not always in the bankers’ power, for its value can be decreased by purposely diminishing the output of commodities. tt u tt AGREES WITH M’NUTT ON COUNTY UNIT IDEA By Will H. Craig It is well known I am not of Gov. McNutt’s party and don’t agree with him on his policies. But"-T do “stand pat” with him on his theory to abolish townships and establish the county unit and cut out some officials and functions of county and city government. This is not a new “fad” with me, as I have been advocating such reforms for 25 years. The Governor gave the “merged” bunch of officials a black eye when he said that: “Any movement for retention of political jobs won’t find much favor with the public.” What a spectacle to see 2000 township and county officials "merging” into a great lobby to protect their jobs and rob the taxpayer. Did they not beg and promise the voters that they would make efficient and economical officials if elected? Where is one in all Indiana that raises his hands in the interest of economy? An appropriate name for the new organization would be "Township and County Exploiting Organization.” In the meeting last week was there a single person that was working for the public welfare and not his political job? How many paid their own personal expenses instead of charging same to expenses of office—a grab on the taxpayers? The wild and woolly try to blind the people by crying out against "centralization” at Indianapolis. Nothing is farther from the truth. I believe in home rule, but throwing out of office 1016 township trustees, most of whem don’t put in 50 days a year, and substituting 276 highminded men to serve as county trustees of schools doesn’t destroy the home rule. In Florida the best men serve as trustees, without salary, and the county system covers the big cities. In Grange County with 50,000 population the expenses of the three trustees are only $257. Here is a sample of an average township in Indiana. Salary, SIOOO. fixed when he had charge of schools, roads,

There are room and teachers enough to take care of all those 119 pupils in the city schools of Noblesville. Under the county unit such things would be changed. I feel safe in saying the reform would save the taxpayer $10,000,000. All the big newspapers of Indianapolis are fox' the reform, but what about the country newspapers that are fed the advertising—the lawyers, bond salesmen, and the 1016 township trustees loaded to the guard? Shall 3,000,000 people submit to this little oligarchy? tt a a CLAIMS UNFAIR DEAL FOR RELIEF WORKERS By E'Claire Thanksgiving is oyer and many relief workers had little or nothing to eat, due to our local office holding checks until Friday. This was all due to the refusal of the chief time clerk to co-operate. Checks were in our local office, 110 S. Merid-ian-st, Tuesday morning, Nov. 26. Men needed their money to have a decent dinner and the lack of sympathy for them by our local office almost caused unnecessary trouble. Now, after making the men and families suffer and want food for Thanksgiving, they have the crust to come along and spoil their Christmas. Men, for protesting against the unjust treatment, are being discharged from relief work. If relief workers have any backbone or Americanism they will protest this action against our buddies and, if necessary, refuse to work until they are placed again on their same jobs. Now'.

child, had been educated beyond the ignorance of her neighbors and that alone w'as sufficient to con- j demn her in their eyes.. To be able to read and write, to wear civilized I clothes and to stay out at a party ; past 9 o'clock were crimes in their eyes. But for her drunken father to beat her was his religious duty. | To resist, even though she w'as of age and legally beyond parental re- j straint, was a crime. The ignorant.; religion-crazed hill-billy jury found her guilty of deliberate, coldblooded murder, when she had defended herself from her brutal father w'ith a slipper. Her own testimony, and that of her sister corroborating every word of it, should have set her free, but she was convicted in the feeble minds of that jury before the evidence was heard. This young woman was not given her legal right to a trial by a jury of her peers. Had the jury had one-half her intelligence she would have been exonerated from all blame. If the Governor of Virginia has better sense he will see that this woman is pardoned or has a fair trial before a jury of intelligent people. Even if she is set free, it is probable that she will have to leave that locality, for her religious neighbors probably would murder her if she were to remain there. Every friend of justice should, write to the Governor of Virginia demanding his intercession to save this innocent woman from 25 years Imprisonment.

Washington Merry-Go-Round

BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN. VI7ASHINGTON, DeL 20—Those * ’ close to the President say that a lot more than the crop control program is at stake when the Supreme Court hands down its decision on the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The big issue, these advisers say. is whether the Administration goes further left before elections or continues its present "breathing spell” for business. The Supreme Court decision will swing the balance. This is how the New Dealers reach this conclusion: A court decision discarding he AAA in toto would have tremendous political and economic reverberations throughout the farm belt. So to keep the farm belt in line, the Administration would become militantly liberal. But should the court not tamp°r with the basic principle of the law —the power of the Federal government to regulate farm production—then the Administration would be content to let things ride at least until after elections. That the New Dealers devoutly desire the latter, there can be no doubt. It is clearly indicated by the fact that no important new legislation is on the President's program for the coming session of Congress. Also he is urging Capitol Hill leaders to concentrate on making their legislative plans short and snappy. Only powerful provocation will bestir the Administration to Renewed militancy. a a IN desperation, Henry Alsberg threatens to establish a "bureau of lost girls.” Alsberg is the man who is giving WPA jobs to unemployed writers. The other day his mail was topped by a letter from a woman in Missouri, who urged, among other things, that WPA should telephone NR A and tell her daughter, who works there, to write home. She hadn’t had a word from her daughter in four weeks. aa a ‘ SECRETARY HENRY MORGENTHAU has quietly knocked the props from-under one of the most popular wails made by the bankers —their claim that the Treasury was forcing too many government bonds on them. He has issued a Treasury regulation limiting the amount of bonds banks can subscribe for to one-half their combined capital and surplus. The purpose of the new rule—the first of its kind in Treasury history—was not to set up an alibi against banker complaints. Its aim actually was to keep banks from gobbling up government issues. For, despite public grumbling, the banks have been avaricious in snapping up offerings of Treasury notes and bonds. So much so in fact that the small private buyer has had trouble in obtaining a share of the issues. It was with the interest of the private investor in mind, therefore, that Morgenthau slapped down a limit on the banks. a o u MRS. ROOSEVELT’S party for Gridiron widows broke up at 1:30 a. m., later than the Gridiron Club. Apparently it was more amus- ! ing. Among the last to leave was Mrs. Cordell Hull. . . . One shot which never leaked to the press was at the expense of the much-married Senator McAdoo, whose second wife was the daughter of Woodrow Wilson. A group of "rubberneck" Cabinet ladies making a tour of the White House, sang: “Senator McAdo was married over there, long, long ago; long, long ago.” . . . Each Cabinet wife apparently has her own feminine brood of admirers. So also Miss Perkins, Senator Garaway, Josephine Roche. As each entered the dining rooms, they went to separate tables, and their special admirers gathered round. . . . Mrs. Roosevelt wore a plum colored velvet evening gown w'ith a spray of lily on her left shoulder. Mrs. William Randolph Hearst Jr. won admiration in a white evening gown with flowing white sleeves. a tt a UNFRIENDLY colleagues of House Rules Committee Chairman John O'Connor are charging him with secretly inspiring the movement to replace ailing Rep. William Bankhead as Democratic floor leader. (Copyright. 1935. bv T7nU<J Feature Syndicate. Inc.)
