WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 25. 1935. MERRY CHRISTMAS! CHRISTMAS, 1935, means more to more people than any Christmas since the crash. True, many still are suffering. Many must endure the day in sadness. But fewer than last year and the year before. In Indianapolis we have seen a generous outpouring of kindness in the Clothe-a-Child effort of Times readers. We have seen other campaigns for seasonal relief making wholesome progress. There has been no lack of support for all worthy undertakings. The Times believes that Christmas, 1936, will make many more people happy than are happy today. It believes the employment situation in the city and state will be better than it is now. To all our readers, we wish a Merry Christmas! a a a PEACE AND GOOD WILL “ A ND suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying Glory to God in the hghest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Thus, according to St. Luke, dawned the first Christmas in the hill country of Judea. Today that all-sufficing formula flung across the starlit skies nearly two thousand years ago still challenges the human race. One nation, the home of the yule log, Kris Kringle and other Christmas folklore, bows to a dictatorship that invokes old pagan gods and persecutes the people of Christianity's founder. Another, the home of the Christian Catholic Pope, is sent goosestepping along Caesar’s path to war against a proud but almost helpless nation in Africa. A third, contemptuous of world opinion, marches across the face of peace-loving China. The rest of the nations, while still reeking from history’s worst carnage, take millions needed for the arts of peace and spend them on armaments. Our own country, while preaching the Good Neighbor policy, isolates itself and spends more than ever on defense. Peace and its bodyguard, democracy, are at bay. Yet behind the facades of governments the spirit of peace and good will is more alive than ever. Never did the people hate war and injustice more profoundly. What better demonstration of this could there be than popularity of the anti-Italian sanctions and the strength of British and French public opinion in their reactions against the proposed Laval-Hoare Ethiopian settlement? Except when they are whipped by their governments or by mobsters and demagogs to hate and oppress, the people are tolerant and neighborly. And even where fear and hate are enthroned as national policies the people continue those personal ‘‘little nameless acts of kindness and of love” that knit the human race into one big family. Christmas today in America will be a time for more than the usual festivities of joyous children and merry elders. The wassail bowl .will overflow in legal toasts to better days returning. We will sing carols, renew old friendships and release our generous instincts in selfless giving with the knowledge that there is less of suffering around us than in the last four winters. But we should do more than that. Civilization being what it is we must rededicate ourselves to the day's real meaning and promise. We should most solemnly and unsentimentally swear on this day of days that we will not allow either governments or men of ill-will to make a jest of the nobles aspirations of the human race, as voiced by the Man of Galilee—democracy, peace and compassion. PURSUIT OF PROFIT 'T'HAT perfect combination business of selling ice in the summer and coal in the winter has been threatened somewhat by electric refrigeration and oil burners. But such signs oi progress never thwart true Yankee business geniiK, as a recent loan by the Rural Electrification Administration shows. At Bethany, Cula., Earl W. Baker owns an ice plant equipped with Diesel-powered electric generators of 420 horse power capacity. That is more than enough power for his ice-making, even in midsummer. So Mr. Baker arranged to build 30 miles of rural electric distribution lines to serve the farm around Bethany and to connect with the nearby village of Piedmont. The villagers voted the Earl W. Baker Utilities Cos. a franchise to supply electric energy, and REA arranged a $30,000 loan to cover construction costs. There will be about 155 customers for the Baker ice plant's surplus electric current. Nor will Mr. Baker mind if they make their own ice. He will charge $5.60 a month for the first 100 kilowatt hours. NEEDLESSLY PAINFUL IF anything is less pleasant than paying taxes when they are due. it is being confronted with tax deficiencies long after the due date. And that is an experience common to many Americans this season. White-collar relief workers, ferreting out evidence of tax avoidances and oversights, are doing their work so efficiently that thg Bureau of Internal Revenue already has collected many millions in back taxes from citizens who thought they had long since heard the last of the Federal income tax for 1934 and '33 and earlier. This bit of government enterprise can not be criticised as boondoggling. It has proved more than self-liquidating. Yet the fact that these emergency employes are uncovering so many deficiencies proves that something is wrong with our method of assessing and collecting Federal income taxes. One thing wrong is known to every one who has filled out an income tax return—and the wrong has borne down especially hard on those of us not gifted with the talents of a Philadelphia lawyer plus a comprehension of the Einstein theory. It is the vast complexity of our tax laws. Under our system a taxpayer assesses himself. He seldom brings himself face to face with the tax collector. If he can afford to, he hires a lawyer as gobetween; if he can not, he resorts to painful correspondence through the mails. j The custom of keeping at arm’s length from the

tax collector is not wholly unwarranted. The taxpayer and the tax gatherer do not .■speak the same language. Although the oppressiveness of the collector may in most cases be imaginary, it nonetheless exists in the taxpayer's mmd. tt a tt TNCOME taxation is one of the best levies yet devised for raising revenue on the basis of ability to pay. No tax is popular, but the income tax is perhaps our most unpopular, despite the fact that only a comparative few of our citizens have to pay it. And yet this tax, we believe, must eventually be extended to embrace millions of citizens now exempt. It therefore behooves the government to rid it of characteristics which contribute to its unpopularity. To this end, legalistic complexity should give way to realistic simplicity. Exactly how this can be attained we do not know. But a long step would be taken if the taxpayer and the tax collector were brought closer together. In its recent study of Federal tax problems, a committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce recommended that the entire personnel of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, including the commissioner and the collectors and deputy collectors, be placed under the classified civil service, with merit appointments and promotions and salaries high enough to place employment on a career basis. If that recommendation is followed out. we may some day see income taxes paid with a smile. AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION TI7E like the suggestion of Clarence C. Klein, a ’ ’ teacher at Fifth Avenue High School, Pittsburgh, that the reports of the Senate Munitions Committee be studied in high school classes. No work of fiction, however powerfully written, and no history book, however fortified with facts, tells the story of war and the intrigue behind it as well as does the report of the Senate Munitions Committee. For it contains not only undisputed facts as to the profits and the tactics of the munition makers, but their own admissions as to the things they have done to promote war. In that report, students will find such enlightening comments as this one, taken from a letter by Frank Sheridan Jones, agent for Remington Arms and Federal Laboratories, Inc.: “We certainly are in one hell of a business where a fellow has to wish for trouble so as to make a living, the only consolation being, however, if we don t get the business, someone else will. It would be a terrible state of affairs if my conscience started to bother me now.” The report will reveal to them the huge war-time profits of the du Ponts and other arms manufacturing firms; the activities of that shadowy promoter of international discord, Sir Basil Zaharoff, who obligingly sold weapons to both sides; and the lobbying methods of the munition makers to block the passage of arms embargo legislation that might hamper their activities and, incidentally, keep us out of war. Not the least of the interesting facts the report will reveal to students is the wide-spread practice of bribe-giving to facilitate the placing of munition orders. They will enjoy reading the letter of Lawrence Y. Spear of the Electric Boat Cos., who wrote that “the real foundation of all South American business is graft” and the letter of Sir Charles Craven of the famous British firm of Vickers, whose letter contained this gem: “There was a certain action I had to take which involved expenditure of which I am sure you would have agreed with. I can not possibly say more in writing.” Then there is a letter of a company trying to sell airplanes to China, which reads: “Discussing the latter (airplane business) with military authorities, it appears it will be necessary to pay the necessary ‘squeeze.’ ” “Squeeze,” of course, is a polite name for graft. Other munition makers refer to it as “commission,” “palm-oil,” and “grease.” And the classic of all is Mr. Zaharoff’s own phrase, “doing the needful.” We could go on for pages telling about the interesting testimony that is to be found in the report of Senator Nye’s committee. But why spoil the students’ fun? We suggest that they read the remainder of the testimony for themselves—and that teachers cooperate by making the report the subject for classroom study, as Inspector Klein suggests. They will learn about anew side of war, a side that the historians have thus far neglected, but a side that every future American citizen should know. JAMES PARK lIORNADAY TF there was ever a typical Indiana newspaper mqn it was James Park Hornaday, who died in Washington yesterday. As Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis News, Mr. Hornaday served with ability over a long period. He achieved the distinction of being president of the Gridiron Club and was active as a member of the National Press Club. Many persons inside and outside the newspaper profession knew and loved him. We regret that American newspaperdom has lost such a fine member of the craft. THEODORE STEMPFEL /"VNE of the most useful and most distinguished citizens of Indianapolis, Theodore Stempfel, in addition, to his vocation as a banker, contributed thought and influence to better government and cultural projects. , ... Mr. Stempfel represented the valuable type of citizen that Germany has contributed to Afnerica. Disinterested public service by men of superior position, such as Mr. Stempfel, is one of the great needs of American cities. Only by such service can we hope to untangle the knots into which life Is been tied by neglect and indifference. A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT By Mrs. Walter Ferguson 'T'HE evolution of Santa Claus from Saint to Salesman is a wonder of our age. He was a modest person in the old days, sneaking down chimneys and generally keeping up an air of mystery by showing himself rarely to the gaping youngsters of a former generation. Nowadays how different everything is! The tot who has never seen Santa would have to be blind, for he’s omnipresent for weeks before Christmas and may be touched in every store. Indeed, from fragments of juvenile conversation we have overheard, this mingling with the masses is losing him prestige. There was bewilderment in the eyes of a friend's 3-year-old, the other day as she came in from a personal interview with Santa in the toy shop, to find her big sister gazing at a picture in which he was enthusiastically recommending a brand of cigarets. Several minutes later she dashed excitedly into the family circle with another magazine which carried a likeness of her patron saint as he made ready to take a snifter of a popular gin, after a heavy night's work at gift distribution. “Look, look, Daddy!” she shrilled. “Santa Claus is having a party, too!” The answer to all this may be that Santa has installed a radio. If I get up early on Dec. 25 I shan’t be at all surprised to discover him with empty sleigh and tired reindeer, atop a north-bound cloud, waving me farewell for another year with a 10-cent box oi a widely Overused laxative.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Squaring The Circle With McCREADY HUSTON

A LMOST everything written about Christmas has dealt with the morning. I do not recall anything dealing with the afternoon and the evening—with the languor after the dinner, the effort to keep awake and be kind to the children and polite to relatives. I do not recall justice being done in print to the happy little housewife who keeps the peace after the wear and tear of Christmas in the home has begun to get on the nerves of the family. After all, it is the mother who creates the Christmas and follows it through. It is she who begins to prepare for it m November, who tramps through the December crowds, buys the presents, guides the whole household to the great day. It is she who so often holds on to the great fundamentals of life when the father's faith fails. I base this on observation. Sometimes I think we would still be living in caves if woman’s eternal pressing for the good had not driven us out into the open. u tt u '~jpHE radio has done a great deal to make people understand ( Christmas through the medium of music. For days now it has been pouring carols into the homes of the nation and there is no question about their influence for good. They make men and women gentler, more considerate of one another, I was dozing the other evening, as a fellow will after a hard day in my profession, and was awakened by some far-off choir, singing the beautiful phrase, “Born is the King of Israel.” It got me. I've a son who is a choir boy. n u tt /CHRISTMAS afternoon and evening are good times for husbands and wives to get out of the house together, take a tramp in the snow—if there is snow—and do a little checking up. The year is closing. They have had, shall we say, a hard time. They have been cross with each other. The tendency of people to shift blame perhaps has led to quarrels and bitterness. This is an opportune moment for thinking back, appreciating others, realizing each person makes his own hell or heaven and not somebody else. I was talking to a Hoosier architect the other day. You know what a time the architects have had. I’ve seen a whole room full of competent architects working over drawing boards on made-work projects—men to whom one might think the humiliation would be disastrous. Well, this architect had had 110 commissions for several years. He had lost everything in the material way that he had accumulated. But he said with a rather twisted little smile that he and his wife still had each other. tt tt u A ND, after all, you can always 1 play with the boy’s electric train. That gets your mind off your worries. I do not know whether it is better to go in for the electric railroad system elaborate, necessitating actual mechanical skill in setting up and operating, or to limit it to something the child himself can handle. The desire of the father to play with the train in some households has made it necessary to set aside a whole room from which the child, because he may damage some of the intricate devices, is almost excluded. I recall an electrical waterfall made by one daddy as a part of his son’s railway system. It was a beautiful job, but it didn’t mean much to the boy because it was too valuable for him to play with. a 0 a , I have always thought—about 5 o'clock on Christmas—that mince pie was a narcotic which the physicians could adopt. I have drifted off in hospitals under the influence of sedatives, but never have I been as sleepy as after that extra slug of mince pie which looked so tempting at dinner. OTHER OPINION For Temperance [Fort Wayne News-Sentinel] The News-Sentinel does not believe that, for some time to come, there is apt to be anything like majority sanction for a return to the Volsteadian experiment, under which conditions became to terrible that a 7-to-3 majority was rolled up for repeal. Nevertheless, it can not intelligently be overlooked that a recent America Speaks survey revealed that only about one-third of the citizens canvassed believe that conditions with respect to drinking have improved since the eighteenth amendment was rendered inopera- | tive by popular mandate. Nor can it be lightly dismissed that another third of the people i feel that conditions are worse, and I an equal number hold that things are “about the same.” It will be good public policy for officials and good business judgf ment on the part of all engaged in any branch of the liquor business, therefore, to co-operate earnestly, sincerely and to the fullest extent -in forwarding the cause of temperance. j

In the summer of 71 years ago, our country was in the deepest of depression. It was doubtful that the Union could longer exist. There were no millions on relief; all were willing to sacrifice all they possessed. There were not millions of unemployed; all were employed at cutting each others’ throats, nursing the wounded, burying the dead of that most awful of human calamities, Civil War. Then, as now, the issue was as to an abrupt change in policies and leadership. Should the bloody business of preserving the Union carry on? Should that grand, gaunt leader at Washington in whose heart reigned the doctrine of malice toward none, charity for all and firmness in the right. as God gave him to see the right, be retired and the Union’s destiny be entrusted to a second-rater? In June of 1864, the Republican national convention nominated Abe Lincoln for a second term as President and upon being congratulated by the National Union League, Lincoln said: “I do not allow myself to suppose that either the convention or the league has concluded to decide that I am either the greatest or the best man in America, but rather they have concluded it is not best to swap horses while crossing the river and have further concluded that I am not so poor a horse that they might not make a botch of it in trying to swap.” There’s gold in them thar words for the business man, the farmer and the job-holder. a a a WONDERS WHAT CRITICS CAN TALK ABOUT NOW.

Bloomington Now that the Lavai-Hoare proposal for settlement of the Ethiop-ian-Italian conflict is dead, what will those folks who have been accusing England of using the League of Nations as her tool find to talk about? Sir Samuel Hoare has resigned. By humbling himself before the House of Commons, Prime Minister Baldwin saved his scalp. Pierre Laval holds his position as premier of France by a narrow margin. Not only were the governments of France and England angry and as-

tounded at the Laval-Hoare proposal to cede two-thirds of Ethiopia to Italy, but the other members of the League rose in a body to denounce the rape. So, now, you gentlemen who were so sure that England was the whole show in the League, what have you got to say? It seems that after all, barring this Laval-Hoare proposal, England has been doing exactly what the other League members wanted her to do. Why so many of our people are bitter against England is hard to understand. We speak the English language, and despite the fact that we are the product of many peoples, our form of government, our traditions and our culture are predominantly English. Our haters of England say she has been a land grabber. Well, we’ve done a little grabbing ourselves, but it surely is high time that we, along with others, confess our sins and prove the sincerity of our repentance by voluntarily respecting the rights of small nations, just as we are forced to respect the rights of large nations. And since we do not see fit actively to support this principle, we certainly should give moral encouragement to England and the other nations which are so doing. It is argued that Italy is crowded and Ethiopia is sparsely settled; that Ethiopia is a slave country. We could support many millions more, so why not open our own doors to the overflow of Italians? Then, too, Mussolini has been paying bonuses for more babies. Why? It’s only a matter of some 70 years since we freed our own slaves. The argument falls flat. It all sums up to just this: I’m bigger than you and I’m going to take what I want. > a tt tt LIBRARY “MARRIAGE BAN” AMAZES WRITER. By a Patron I read with interest a well-written timely letter which appeared in your column, protesting the unfairness and “stupidity” of a “marriage ban” which is being enforced against our city librarians. The revelation was amazing to me that such nonsense would characterize a public institution. Mr. Dickerson, chief librarian, in reply to the letter, stated that the law was in conformity with a school board policy. This struck me as probably being another attempt at the “old army game” on the part of a public official. Upon inquiry I have been unable to find corroboration for his information. The policy seems to be an “unclaimed economic blessing,” or rather an administrative “black sheep.” School teachers employed by the

school board operate under a tenure law which would allow marriage in any event after five years of service. Questioning of librarians, and others interested, disclosed that replacement of librarians who marry has necessitated the importation of a large number of out-of-town girls, and recently a few were imported from other states. This does not indicate a solution to Indianapolis unemployment which would be the only excuse for the existence of the policy. Many librarians have family dependents which burden would preclude marriage to most any average prospective husband who is considered lucky if able to provide for two, to say nothing pf those many young and middle-aged men who are not so fortunate. Marriage for these in such circumstances is only possible where both parties are employed. Library work always has been a choice lifelong career for women, but these women are nevertheless human and need, or at least should not be denied, the opportunity to live normally. It is gratifying to know that there are many patrons of the library here who are incensed over this marriage ruling and they propose to see that it is abolished, even if it means a change of the personnel responsible for the same or similar rulings. Congratulations to “A Reader” who has brought to the attention of some of us, who were heretofore unmindful, this example of gross unfairness and social disgrace practiced in one of the most important of our cultural institutions.

Washington; IT* Merry-Go-^ Round

BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN. WASHINGTON. Dec. 25.-Ip business and labor cireliis Maj. George L. Berry is kr.ow-n as head of the powerful pressmen's union. Asa government official he holds the important post of Coordinator for Industrial Recovery. But to several thousand children in Happy Valley, Tenn., his ancestral home. Berry is “Santa Claus ’ Each year on Christmas Day he gives a party on his large model farm in Happy Valley to the youngsters of his home county. All welcome, and for each there is 1 \ cream, cake and candy in abundance and a toy gift. In preparation for playing Santa this year, Mr. Berry bought a full carload of toys. Mr. Berry and his wife have been host at similar parties for many years. Childless, they find great joy in giving a day of happiness to the children of neighbors. Christmas is not the only holiday the Berrys celebrate by distributing gifts. On Thanksgiving they send to several hundred friends in all parts of the country large turkeys raised on their own farm. Packed in ice the birds are shipped from Happy Valley, to arrive just the day before they are to be eaten. a tt tt SOME of the country’s highestpriced legal talent almost fretted themselves into nervous prostration during the argument on the Tennessee Valley Authority case before the Supreme Court. The court allotted five hours to hear argument; two for the government, three for the numerous power attorneys. First to lead off for the opposition was Fomey Johnston, chief counsel for the Alabama Power Cos. and, although a Democrat, one of the bitterest New Deal foes in the country. Mr. Johnston talked for a half hour. Some of his colleagues began arranging their papers in anticipation that he was nearing a close, and they would be called. But the were wrong. Mr. Johnston was rfr from finished. y While the other half dozen utility lawyers glared, twitched and fidgeted in their scats, the chunky little Alabaman talked on and on and. on. When he finally sat down there remained just 38 minutes of the utilities’ time. v To government attorneys the undercover animosity among the opposing lawyers furnished much quiet amusement. it a tt ORESS conferences of Secretary Dan Roper’s ordinarily are the dullest in the capital. But the other day one of them yielded a nugget of inside news that surprised Mr. Roper as much as it did reporters. He opened the conference by announcing a reorganization of the Business Advisory Council. This is a body of big business men established by Mr. Roper chiefly to garner a little personal publicity. As he has repeatedly “reorganized” the council, newsmen were apathetic over the latest change. Mr. Roper announced that Harry P. : Kendall, council chairman, would I explain the details. \- The textile manufacturer tack\h the job with relish. With warmth, j and eloquence he expounded on the ' significance of the council’s work. “As an example,” he stated, “after the Supreme Court threw out the NRA, the council submitted a confidential plan to the President on how the NRA could be continued.” The drowsing reporters sat up with a jerk. This was “hot stuff.” Big business had urged the President to carry on the NRA despite the Supreme Court’s ban. Delighted with the impression he was making, Mr. Kendall prepared to continue. But Mr. Roper, a-twit-ter wkh alarm, stopped him. “Ah, hum, er, uh, Mr. Kendall,” he broke in. “I don’t believe you want to go into that matter just now.” Mr. Kendall looked up startled, stuttered for a moment, finally replied: “Yes, yes, yes. I gue.'. ; you are right, Mr. Secretary,” and sat down. (Copyright, 1935. by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.i
