THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1938. THE RING RULES JOEL A. BAKER, a politician of unenviable reputation, has been named County Welfare Director. The official announcement is not news. The plan had leaked out several days in advance. Non-partisan groups of citizens protested and several persons declined to serve on the board. But the plan went through. That is not surprising. The political ring rules. As long as the voters permit it to remain in power, it will continue to rule. The issue is not only whether the welfare of the Aged, the blind and the orphans should be intrusted to a politician of Mr. Joel A. Baker’s reputation, but to any professional politician. The position is one for a non-political trained welfare director of the highest type. This is the issue of partisan political domination upon which the voters will pass when they get a chance. DEADLINE FOR VOTERS today, branch offices in the city for the convenience of voters registering for the May 5 primary election will close. The other branch offices in Marion County will remain open a day longer. But residents who otherwise are qualified to cast a ballot will have until midnight Monday to register at the central registration office at the Courthouse. Judging from the turnout so far at the branch offices, there will be a continued rush until the deadline. At first it was estimated that 25,000 persons in Marion County would have to register or reregister to make the full voting strength of the county eligible for the primary. Some now estimate that the new registrations and transfers will exceed that number. Registration officials have been swamped in many places. Citizens have stood in line to make sure they will not be challenged when they go into the voting booths in May. One point to remember, however, is that much of this interest has been stirred by party precinct workers. There seems little danger that any considerable segment of the partisan vote will be overlooked. The important thing is that those who have not been solicited should get to the registration office and qualify to vote in the primary. This Is particularly true of those who are eligible for the first time this year because of age, those who are not now registered, and those who have changed their residence.

NEGLECTING THE AGED r T'HE Federal government’s plans for coaxing the ■*- states to substitute old-age pensions for poorhouses have yielded disappointing results to date. Only 22 states today have old-age pension systems accepted by the Federal government. The average pension in these states based on their own estimates will be $19.66 a month, including both state and Federal contributions. The new Indiana Public Welfare Act provides a maximum pension of S3O a month. Payments are to be made on the basis of need, however, and the average is estimated at S2O. The county is to contribute 20 per cent, the state 30 per cent, the Federal government 50 per cent. The Federal government, under the 1935 Social Security Act. matches dollar for dollar what the states give, up to a Federal grant of sls a month a pensioner. The states may contribute more than sls, of course, but only New York is likely to do this. Systems in the 22 accepted state cover 223,913 pensioners out of 273,000 needy eligible past 65. The cost is nearly $4,000,000 a month. It is estimated 15 per cent of all persons past 65 are eligible for assistance because of need. * * * A CCEPTED states and the estimated average state-Federal monthly grants per case under the Social Security Act are: Alabama, $10; Connecticut, $25: Delaware, $10; District of Columbia, S3O; Idaho, $25; lowa, $14.50; Maine, $22.50; Maryland, S2O; Michigan. $16.50; Mississippi, sl4; Missouri, $10; Nebraska, $17.50; New Hampshire, S2O; New Mexico, $10; North Dakota, S2O; Oregon, $25; Rhode Island. $22; Utah, S3O; Vermont, $10.50; Washington, $25; Wisconsin, $25; Wyoming, S3O. The Indiana old-age pension plan has not yet been approved officially in Washington, but expected to be soon. It was given tentative approval before enactment. Wayne Coy,. acting administrator of the State Public Welfare Board, predicts the Indiana setup will be in operation within 20 to 45 days. The county welfare boards now are being selected. Indiana is the eleventh state to enact an unemployment insurance law under the tax-offset plans of the Social Security Act. The others are Alabama, California, Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Oregon and Mississippi. Including also the District of Columbia's Jobless insurance law, these systems cover more than 40 per cent of all eligible workers in the United States. The new Indiana law, providing worker's benef ts ranging up to sls a week for a maximum of 16 weeks in the year, now is before the Social Security Board in Washington for formal approval. Indiana also is added to the list of 15 states which have passed approved laws for aid to the blind, the 14 w'-:?h have children's aid systems. Mothers’ aid is inc’uded in the new state statute. “CUSHIONS” FOR ALL PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S proposed tax on undistributed earnings has become enmeshed in a controversy which is reflected in the difficulties encountered by the House Ways and Means Committee in drafting a bill. The controversy concerns both the practical way to write the bill, and the questions being raised by

whether It will accomplish its objectives without hurting business. The first question raised by corporation executives was whether adequate reserves for lean years could be built up under the proposed heavy tax on earnings retained in surplus. Concern over this problem Is manifest In the various methods suggested to encourage “cushions.” Immediately It was pointed out in many quarters that surpluses built up by corporations in prosperous times had not only kept some from bankruptcy but had allowed many to continue paying dividends out of surplus. The American Telephdne & Telegraph Cos., for instance, has continued to pay its $9 dividend, though the company has not earned it since 1930. Col. Leonard P. Ayres of the Cleveland Trust Cos. said recently that business savings had contributed $26,600,000,000 to emergency relief during five depression years as contrasted with Federal expenditures of $12,500,000,000. William J. Cameron of Ford Motor Cos. estimated recently that American business, from 1930 to 1934, had spent $27,000,000,000 over and above its income to help the work of economic recovery. He said Ford Co.’s surplus had enabled it to spend $33,000,000 in wage increases at the outset of the depression and, in another year, to pay out $68,000,000 more than it received in order to keep operating its plants. Administration experts, on the other hand, contend that depressions might be averted, or at least made less severe, if corporations were forced to pay out dividends and thus maintain a steady flow of money and buying power. u n a IT is argued that corporations helped to cause the depression by retaining their earnings and expanding their plants with surplus funds to bring about excess production which could not be absorbed. Surplus funds poured into the stock market boom also helped to inflate the speculative bubble, they say. Robert H. Jackson, assistant attorney general in charge of tax cases, and one of the sponsors of the proposed plan, scouts fear that it would discourage the laying aside of adequate reserves for the “rainy day.” “Those who are honestly fearful of that effect,” he said, “should remember that those profits—as well as all others—are now taxed. Also that under the proposed law any corporation which intends to distribute two-thirds of its earnings will have no larger tax to pay than under the present system. “It may, at the same cost as now, lay aside onethird of its earnings for the ‘rainy day.’ “Those who favor conservative and prudent corporation management—and I am one of them—will find this law no threat. It does not penalize reasonable reserves—it repeals as much burden as it imposes upon reasonable management.” Some experts agree with Mr. Jackson as far as big corporations which now distribute a large proportion of their earnings are concerned, but, they ask, what about the smaller corporations and new businesses that have not had time to build up reserves? They contend the tax would hamper the development of new industries. Thus, they argue, it would tend to make the big, established corporations stronger and more powerful, although one objective of the proposed law as outlined by Mr. Jackson is to check the growth of monopoly. The House Ways and Means Committee is moving along the line of special treatment for small corporations.

A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT By' Mrs. Walter Ferguson 'T'HE presses are turning out floods of books which tell how to live and to succeed. Some are excellent; some are innocuous. At the top of the list of good ones must be put Dorothea Brande’s “Wake Up and Live,” a manual for the full existence that is quite as fine and much more simple than the tomes of some modem philosophers. It makes a quick, direct appeal to the practical, busy individual who has to earn his living and yet wants to gather a few hyacinths for his soul as he does so. Nobody, I daresay, will follow all her rules, but when she says that the will to fail is strong within us, we know she is right. “Act as if it were impossible to fall,” is the advice she gives. For one strong enough to accept the challenge, it must be good. Next comes Vash Young, the life insurance agent who turned author, with another well-flavored dish of predigested food in “Be Kind to Yourself.” His is a rollicking hold-the-right-mental-attitude-and-you’ll-be-sure-to-sign-your-customer philosophy that is bound to click at the bookshops. Yet somehow all these jubilant mordem philosophies skim too lightly over the depths within us; they fail to consider the truest desires of the human heart. For they assume blithely that worldly success and happiness are sufficient for a good existence. Through pleasant and devious ways they always come back to the ideal of material well-be-ing. They make good reading; many people will be helped by them. But if you want something to pump courage into your shrinking heart or to give vitality to a witherinw zeal, you can’t beat the ancients, those philosophers who believed that man carries the Kingdom of God within himself and who were more anxious to feed the soul than the body or the mind. There will never be better rules for living than those written in the Greatest of Books, in which it is said: "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wsdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding.” HEARD IN CONGRESS REP. MAVERICK (D., Tex.): I am in favor of protecting the Liberty League in this right of free speech. ... In any event, if 5 or 10 per cent of what they say is true, it’s worth it; if it’s all false, it will do no harm. Senator Robinson (D., Ark.): Mr. President, I ask leave to have published in the record a memorandum making a comparison for the years 1932, 1934 and 1935 of the deficits and profits of certain recognized and well known business organizations. . . . Senator McNary (R., Ore): It is just an assembling of facts and figures by a Democratic organization. Senator Robinson: Compiled largely from Republican press reports. (Laughter). Senator Copeland (D., N. Y.): Fanners are naturally conservative; they do not like to have officials come In and deplete their herds under compulsion, whether they are gentlemen farmers or industrial or private or commercial farmers. Senator Glass (D., Va.): Why does the Senator look at me when he makes any such statement as that? (Laughter). Senator Copeland: Os course, in the Senator’s case he is both a gentleman farmer and a commercial farmer. I looked at him wit a both types in mind.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Squaring the Circle With THE HOOSIER EDITOR

A FRIEND from Indiana Univer- ' sity, who should know, says | that hitch-hiking still is much fai vored by college students. If anything, he says, returning prosperity has Increased the number of college boy hitch-hikers, for they now have more money to spend when they get where they’re going. Which seems likely. He came to Indianapolis the other day; made the trip from home to the Circle in about an hour and 20 minutes, he said. But he admitted he was lucky, for he got a ride while he was walking to the city limit on N. Walnut-st, in Bloomington. He went back the next day but we haven’t heard how long that took him. There are, he says, several distinct schools of hitch-hikers. There are those w’ho claim the best way to get a ride is to stand at the city limits, with a bag nearby and an expectant thumb in the air. He sides with this group, he says, I because he thinks it shows some initiative in getting to the city limit. tt n 'T'HE second school, he explained, is one that is rather lazy—the adherents dont believe in walking more than a block or so, and usually stop just at the edge of the business districC sit on the curb and wait. In fact, my friend says, some of them are so lazy they have signs printed, prop them up in the street, and then sit against a tree until someone stops. The third school includes those who believe that the best method is to start walking along the road until a driver picks them up. Those who follow this plan, my friend says, find they have better luck if they turn around once in a while and look disconsolately at the speeding traffic. He doesn’t believe in this method very much any more. Says he tried it a week ago and had to walk halfway to Nashville, and then didn’t get a ride. Finally, he boarded a bus. He’s been disgusted with himself ever since.

TTE’S had quite a bit of experience hitch-hiking around th° country, but he doesn’t appreciate the bans against hitch-hikers which some companies ’have put in force. The biggest kick he ever got out of a ride he says, was one from St. Louis to Indianapolis in a truck. Reason for his enthusiasm was that he rode the whole distance behind a sign on the windshield that read: “Sorry. No Riders.” * * * npHIS was told over a bridge ta- •*- ble the other night, and it depends on how credulous you are whether you believe it. A good many years ago, a German family came to the United States and settled in Indianapolis. Arriving here, the members were handicapped for none of them could speak English. But it didn’t take them long to learn. They settled among some Irish families and picked up the language quickly. There was only one trouble. They learned to speak it with a broad Irish brogue. 000 A FARMER wrote to Clarence E. Manion, Indiana National Emergency Council director, here, approximately as follows: “I received a loan from the Farm Credit Association which kept me from losing my farm, my son is in a Civilian Conservation Corps camp, my daughter is working on a Works Progress Administration library project, and my mother is on direct relief. “Now if you could just arrange a SIOOO government loan for me so that I can build a filling station I believe I could pull through all right.”

F. W. During the lasts week papers of the country have carried news of the formaiton of an organization ol rollege and university students known as the “Veterans of Future Wars.’” Their purpose is evident as they propose that the government of the United States pay their members a “bonus” for service to be rendered during the next war. It is evident that their only purpose is ridicult of World War veterans who will be paid adjusted pay or back pay for seervices rendered during the World War and not after the World War was over. Inasmuch as the initials of this new organization are identical with those of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, which has been in existence for over 36 years and is recognir.ed by a charter granted by Congress, it is very apparent that the Veterans of Future Wars is formed for the sole purpose of capitalizing upon the name and prominnence of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Watch Your Health

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN SOME people argue that meat tends to produce constipation. The reason, of course, is its concentration. But a meat diet should always be supplemented by adequate amounts of fruits, vegetables, and bulky substances. Such a diet will not produce constipation. The records of Explorer Stefansson have shown that it is possible .to live on an exclusive meat diet successfully and without producing serious changes in the normal body. Some time ago two Arctic explorers living in New York were given an exclusive meat diet for a whole year. It was found that this diet did not affect their blood pressure or in any way lessen their physical or mental vigor. You should remember, however, that Eskimos, who lively largely on meat, eat the various organs as well as the lean muscle meats. Meat essentially forms a high protein diet. Some people, without cause, fear proteins, which are the building materials of our tissues. Proteins from all meats, including those from fish and chicken, are of about tne same type. Chem-

news of the Veterans of Future Wars to be news of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. News releases said the Veterans of Future Wars have urged the Lobby Committee of Congress to demand that the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars submit their books for the inspection of the committee. These demands are laughable to say the least, as both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars are recipients of charters granted by Congress, and as such, whenever called upon to do so by proper authority, must produce their books for inspection by that authority. It is significant that the Veterans of Future Wars did not demand that the Lobby Committee call for the books of the American eVterans’ Association, which already has been investigated by the committee, and which is controlled by and is a brain child of the United States Chamber of Commerce and Wall Street. As proof of the above statement, we wish to cite the records of the Lobby Committee of the House of Representatives. It is very evident that some very large group of people Is using these students as a shield to ridicule the veterans of all wars because the larger group is afraid to come out in its own colors and do so. The most logical of all groups to undertake this underhand method is the United States Chamber of Commerce and its brain-child, the National Economy League, both of which organizations oppose any and all laws, proposed and already

Meats vary in their vitamin content. ordinary muscle tissues contain few vitamins,, but the glandular organs and the animal fats and oils supply important vitamins in large amounts. Proteins of meat seem to have a digestibility similar to that of milk and eggs. The extractives in meat aid digestion by stimulating flow of the digestive juices from the stomach. Digestibility of the fat in meat is controlled by the amount taken, the extent to which it is suitably broken up by chewing, and similar factors. These factors control also the length of time that the food stays in the stomach.

V Vagabond from Indiana ERNIE PYLE

EDITOR'S NOTE—This roving reporter tor The Times goes where he pleases, when he pleases. In search of odd stories about this and that. Tj'ORT WORTH, Tex., April 2 —ls you can judge the United States by the South, then the United States is going gambling crazy. The whole South is plastered with gambling machines, and people are standing in line to play them. Slot machines are everywhere—in hotels, restaurants, stores, gas stations, office-building lobbies. They're exactly the same kind they had in the wild coal-mining towns when I was a boy. They make exactly the same out-of-joint sound when you pull the lever, the same noise as the three drums whirl around and one by one come to a stop, and the same sound when the nickels come clinking out. The only difference seems to be that the nickels don’t come out as often as in the old days. Gambling machines are, of course, stacked against the player. The player knows it, and takes his chance. But so far as I can observe, the games of chance of the present era don't even give the player a run for his money. I have watched people playing all the way from the Atlantic Coast to Texas, and I have not seen anybody make a killing. And very seldom do they even get anything back. Only smart guys like me ever win. tt n IN a restaurant in Tallahassee, -*• after dinner one evening, I decided to take a fling at the wheels of fate. I spoke to the waiter of my intentions. He was a friendly, confidential sort, and he advised me against it. “You can’t win on them things,” he said. But the fever was pounding in ihy head. I rushed to the cashier for a half dollar’s worth of nickels, and marched down upon the battery of machines along the wall. My waiter friend was right behind, still giving advice. “Don’t play this one on the end,” he warned. “It’s crooked as hell. Those other two ain’t any good either. Play this one if you have to.” It was a nickel machine. Nickel after nickel went in. I pulled the lever, and watched the wheels spin —and nothing happened. I was in the hole for 30 cents. tt tt tt JUST then the proprietor walked up. He said to the waiter: “I think it’s about time for this one to hit.” He played a dime in the dime machine. Nothing came out. It was a come-on, I suppose, but I’m easy for come-on guys, so I stepped over and put in a dime. Bang, crackle, crackle. Out came five dimes! I put the money in my pocket, smirked at the proprietor, cast a fatherly smile at the waiter, and went back to my table, 10 cents to the good. The waiter told me about a guy the other night who was trying to get the jackpot on the quarter machine, and he put in $37.50 and all he got back was $5. m tt TN hotels and restaurants In Florida, and all along the Gulf Coast, -you see knots of elderly, well-dressed women playing the slot machines by the hour. I’ve watched them by the dozen, and I have yet to see a face that wouldn’t look more at home in church than in front of a slot machine. The slot machine is just one of many gadgets to take your money. There are a thousand varieties of the nickel-ball machine, where you catapult a little ball and it rolls all around over the board, jumping from one hole to another, and usually missing them all. In a ffestaurant here in Fort Worth I watched a fellow in a big hat playing 4k. a nickel-ball table. I watched him for 20 minutes, and at last he hit for a 30-1:6-1 payoff. That was $1.50. He had already put $5 into the thing. He went on playing. DAILY THOUGHT O Lord, correct me, but with Judgment; not in Thine anger, lest Thou bring me to nothing.—Jeremiah, 10:24.
