THE SYMPHONY
ITH its concert yesterday afternoon the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has closed a brilliant season. Under the direction of Fabien Sevitzky the orchestra has made steady progress and won considerable praise. Its achievements promise Indianapolis an even richer year of musical enjoyment during the 1938-39 series. The symphony’s season is completed, but the melody lingers on.
SIGN OF SPRING?
OR the first time since his overwhelming re-election victory in November, 1936, Franklin D. Roosevelt seems to
i
‘have discovered that compromise is a part of the scheme
of things which we call life.
This fact in itself is to us the most hopeful happening we have witnessed in many months of gazing at an increasingly dark horizon. What has been occurring while the nation once again has been going economically to pot has been a battle of political face-saving. Paying the cost has been a public fed up with fighting, and eager for the dawn of peace. The reorganization issue became just another symbol in the conflict. On either side were those resolved to die for dear old Siwash. But they were just the politicians, after all an infinitesimal minority of the country as a whole, battling for what at best could only by a pyrrhic victory, no matter who came out on top. ; Now the Administration, evidently sensing that there are fights which you lose if you win, expresses willingness to experiment with that technique which has made it possi-
~ ble for the British nation to muddle through so many crises
for so many centuries. How much better off we would have been had some of that same spirit displayed itself in the court: contest, for But that is hindsight. So all we say now is, all hail the compromise, and hurrah for the idea of let’s-go-from-here, beforé we have knocked ourselves out. » = 2 # ” ” S for the compromise proposal itself, it seems eminently fair, so far as it goes. It seeks to maintain the balance between the executive and legislative by authorizing the President to take the initiative in reorganizing Government bureaus, but leaving to Congress the power to veto any of the President’s orders by a simple maj jority vote through concurrent resolutions. In our opinion the President would have gained more in the long run, in the better feeling his act would have encouraged, had he yielded also on that part of his bill which seeks to transfer from Congress to the President control over the preauditing of Government expenditures. That is a responsibility which Congress wisely is reluctant to surrender. It should be left where it logically belongs—with the taxing and spending branch of Government. On other features, however, the compromise plan is in keeping with the fundamentals in which our country is supposed to operate—through departments none of which dominates the others but whose functions are, as we designed in the beginning, équal and co-ordinate. We have had the feeling all along, since the sudden and alarming business relapse set in, that the cause was essen-
tially political, not economic; that a fear engendered by ‘what Washington was doing was paralyzing the industry of
the nation; that Mr. Roosevelt through what appeared to be a lastditch attitude toward business was contributing more than he himself realized to that fear, and that so long as the do-or-die technique continued the situation was bound to get worse. Accordingly we believe this present evidence on the part of the ida that maybe the other side has some merit too—that all are not immoral just because they disagree—is a real sign of spring, the first robin, so to speak, and that after the winter of our discontent the economic sap may actually begin to flow.
TAKE HATS ~AKE hats,” says Ed Wynn of the falsetto siglo: “to me they are the funniest things in the world.” Ed, you're in for a hilarious springtime, because the Fashion Editor has just told us that the bizarre creations that adorned Milady’s poll throughout the winter are melancholy things compared with the gladsome tricks that Easter has in store. | : If you miss the coal scuttle or the wastebasket: you Tl probably find it on the Little Woman's head. The vegetable, animal and mineral kingdoms will all contribute to the vogue. The gaucho of the Argentine’s wide pampas, the Mongol lama, the London bobby, the Mexican peon and the
Fiji damsel have all been robbed by the designing females
who have been creating this season’s bonnet. Dippers, autowheels, stovepipes, pancakes, conch shells, ships’ funnels, kitchen utensils and whathaveyou have posed as models. All the hats you have known, from the Merry Widow’s down to Madame Secretary of Labor Perkins’ famous tricorn, will be outdone. There is nothing you can do about it. You may storm, like Petruchio in “The Taming of the Shrew”: “It is a pal-tard-coffin, a bauble, a silken pie!” And your Katharina will halt your tirade with her logic: “This|doth fit the time, and gentlewomen wear such caps as these.” Indeed they do.

Your Columnist Pi oposet a Probe To Find What Promises or Threats The Shakeup Bill Brought About.
EW YORK, April 4—If there is any authority which has the power to put United States Senators over the jumps, every member of that body should be summoned now and compelled to tell under ‘oath just what promises or threats, if any, he received in the hours of lobbying which preceded the passage
of the Reorganization Bill. Mr. Roosevelt has pointed the issue tn his implied
charge that the opposition tried to buy votes against
the bill with telegrams protest. That remark was rather fuzzy, because a telegram of petition or protest can hardly involve bribery unless it contains something which could be construed as a promise or offer. Before Mr. Roosevelt| said this, ‘however, a news dispatch out of Washington said that in the last hours before the vote messengers claiming White House authority promised rewards to doubtful Senators and uttered threats to stubborn opponents. Heads of Government agencies were said to have been among
those who worked for the bill, and Jimmy Roosevelt, ‘
the President’s son and secretary, was reported to have assured the powerful railroad brotherhoods that they need not fear that the President would do anything contrary to their interests. The same piece said that other groups were| reported to have received similar assurances. » » ” DISLIKE words such |as “reported” and “said” by which newspapermen try to pass the buck to persons unknown, but this dispatch is strong enough to command attention. The journalists on the Hill know their statesmen and ' their lobbyists, and that story would not have been written without information. We have here the substance of a flat charge that mysterious persons went among the elected Senators and made promises or threatened them in
the name of the President. It is dreadful to imagine what heckling sarcasm, what fury of propaganda and sedrn would be turned against any citizen who had used the same methods to oppose an important bill having the President’s approval. It is something brand new if anyone has authority to give private assurance to any interest that, by a side agreement not written in the law, that group will receive special consideration from the President. John Lewis baeny thought he had received campaign of 1936, and the foregoing matter-of- fact remarks from a routine Washington news story, written by reporters who may be suspected of knowing what it is all abouf, gives support to the suspicion that he did get his assurance but made the mistake of] accepting it in sky-writing.

People to Be Retaxed for Infovest Due Their S cial Security Account.
EW YORK, April 4, “In a recent article referring to the money invested by the Government in the old-age security funds I said: “The Government has not the slightest intention ever of using any of this money to pay old-age pensions,” v Some readers found that hard to swallow. It is.
But here are the facts. For old-age benefit payments the Government imposes a tax on workers and tem-
_ployers alike.
Each year the taxes are collected and paid into
| Treasury. Congress is then expected to OE
these funds for old-age security purposes. Out of this money old-age benefits for the current year must be paid. - The balance must be invested by the Secretary of the Treasury in Government bonds. And these constitute the Old-Age Security Fund, called in the law “The Old-Age Reserve Account.” In effect this is what happens. .The taxes are paid into the Treasury. The Treasury then uses whatever is necessary to pay old-age pensions during that year. And as the amount collected each year is enormously in excess of what is needed to pay benefits, the Treasury then borrows the excess from the “Account” and gives the “Account” its bonds—its I. O. U.s. This is repeated each year. Now it |is perfectly plain that for the next 40 years the Government does not plan to spend any part of the funds in this Account to pay old-age pensions. I say it is plain because according to its own estimates the old-age security taxes collected each year will be far in excess of what is needed to pay benefits. Instead of having to take any part of this fund to pay benefits, the Social Security Administration will actually be adding each year to the Account. Not only that, but each year the Government will be paying interest on its I. O. Us. That interest will go into the Account and|in turn will be borrowed by the Government on current expenses.
Principal Not to Be Repaid
Now what will happen after 40 years? The Government’s I. O. U.s or bonds were intended to be permanent investments. Therefore, while the Government plans to pay interest on these accumulated funds, it has no intention of repaying the principal. And for the first 40 years it plans to pay the inter-est-and then promptly reborrow that. Thereafter it will pay the interest to the fund and this may be used for paying benefits. : But there is a catch|in this. Having taken the money from these people for old-age pensions and blown it in under the |guise of borrowing it and desiring to pay interest jon it, the Government will get the interest by a second dose of taxation upon the very people to whom the| interest is due.

CLAIMS FARMERS HIT BY TRUCK TAXES By Lemuel 8. Todd, Tipton M. Clifford Townsend. bought a new pair of overalls and had his picture taken, posing as a farmer, during his campaign for Governor, but since his election he has hurt the farmer with his weight and tire tax on trucks. ’
It is not safe to be on the roads with a team of horses and a wagon. Therefore most grain is trucked from the harvest fields to elevators by farmer-owned or elevator-owner trucks. The truckweight and tire tax will add to farmers’ expense, and force
-| elevators to advance the price per
bushel hauling charges, which also will come directly off the farmer. Most livestock is trucked to markets and the weight and tire tax will force the livestock truckers to ad-
vance the price per. hundred pounds :
for hauling. I own a truck that will take the place of a team of horses and wagon, but with no more hauling than I have to do I cannot afford to pay the weight and tire tax. If Governor Townsend, being a friend of the farmer, continues to uphold the weight and tire tax, he should at least discard his overalls.
un 8 | PRIVATE EMPLOYERS’ POLICIES SCORED By Victim of Speed-up System Why are: WPA workers disregarded by certain classes of society? The writer answered an ad for a
$7 a week job a few months ago and the employer demanded a good man
who had not previously worked on
WPA because his belief was that WPA workers were “a no-good bunch of bums.” This job did not require any skill—was just a general flunkey’s job—and yet they expected a first class man for $7 a week. My belief is that no matter how “no-good” a man is, there is a job somewhere that he will fit, Some private employers expect too much of applicants for work now— especially if it is a decent job. They inquire into your family history, etc.
Years ago they did not do this: If| -
you asked for a job and they had one, they took you in and showed
you what to do. Nowadays they de- |-
mand you be experienced before they give you a job. - The efficiency, speed-up system has caused them to do their hiring in this manner. An inexperienced man had a chance in the old days, but now he hasn't. : The depression lowered millions of our citizens socially and the recession will lower more. Many persons considered well-off before are now living in cheaper houses, or even in slums, and have been forced to work on WEA. Many good craftsmen of the 1929 period have given up their tools and taken othér jobs out of their line of work because most factories nowadays work under the speedup efficiency system under which you work steadily but six months out of twelve.

Private employers have done their part in creating thie WPA and so long as they continue to work under the present system, the WPA will continue ig be with us. : ” ” ” SAYS UNEMPLOYED ARE SUPERNUMERARIES By Thomas D. McGee ° Much comment is being ‘made’ on the fact, that after so much spending, so much priming of the pump, there still should be so many unemployed in the country. The appalling thing is: not that after five years there should be ten

In voting to take away two billion dollars worth of food, clothing and shelter from destitute men, women and children (as he did when he voted to recommit the President's $4,880,000,000 relief bill), he voted to keep this money from passing from Tom to Dick to Harry, thereby paying ‘businessmen’s debts and saving them from bankruptcy and foreclosure. = - The people have shown by their votes that. they trust the President.

Much has been said recently on:
the question of peace and the atti-
tude the United States should as-
sume to maintain peace.
The people of our country have |.
every right to be concerned over the present drift toward a new world war. And, since this is a democratic country, the peoplc should express their will, so that legislators may guide their actions. Recent events in Europe have shown many of us who have been going about our business without heeding the conditions that arc developing in other countries, that
| war is nearer now than ever before. Hitler's seizure of Austria, Poland's |
threat to Lithuania, contained Fascist aggression in Spain, all point the trend of world events. It must now be apparent to everyone that the onward march of fascism is not to be halted by burying our heads in the sand and saying “It can’t happen here.” World aggression by the Fascist powers will not be halted by an American policy which ignores events in other countries. It is time that we expressed ourselves as being in favor of the policy enunciated by President Roosevelt in his Chicago speech, the polg the aggressor icy of collective sentaining peace. fore it is too late.

To Cure the Chronic Ailment of
ASHINGTON, April 4—First on Roosevelt's order of business on his return from Warm Springs was the railroad problem, an acute situation having the most extensive implicatioi*s and calling for urgent action. One of his first appointments was with officials of the Association of American Railroads to go over material which has been prepared by Gove ernment experts in anticipation of a message to Con= gress in the near future.
Apparently Roosevelt, like railroad sketiiives. was disappointed with the meagerness of the ICC's recent freight-rate increase and retognizes that much more than that is necessary. The Administration this week killed the bill which would have drastically limited the length of freight trains, a measure which the rail= roads say would have added $100,000,000 a year to their operating costs. The railroad problem is much broader than the railroads because of the far-reaching ‘ramifications growing out of the fact that there are some $12,000,000,000 "in railroad bonds outstanding, several billion - of which are held by life insurance companies, savings (banks, and endowment funds of hospitals, colleges and many other types of institution.

number of industries because of the tremendous ‘purchases made by the roads. Capital expenditures lof the roads for equipment, roadway and other permanent improvements last year were half a billion dollars In good years they will run nearly twice that. Railroads buy 20 per cent of all the bituminous coal and fuel oil produced in the whole country. They use 17 per cent of our steel and iron production and +20 per cent of our timber cut. Thus both in trial activity, the railroads are a monumental factor in the nation’s economy—apart from their own actual transportation operations. But they are sick, woefully sick. A total of 96 railroad companies are in the hands of receivers or trustees and are being operated under supervision of
ligations. This is about one-third of the railroad mileage of the country. There has never been anything like it in our history. Unless help comes soon ‘there will be more. Certain roads are now borrow= ing from the RFC to meet payrolls. roads which have been milked by reckless high finance.

The problem is a bookkeeper’s matter and not truly a scarehead political event. Perhaps it is unfortunate that the President has now contributed to the emotional content of the contest by giving out his “I've no inclination to be a dictator” letter.
Some Reporters Probably Awake
It may be held that this document was presented in dramatic fashion. I see no fault in that. Roosevelt has generally been shrewd in the matter of effective timing. .Surely we are not all expected toweep because the news dispatches say that the ree porters were awakened at 1 a. m. for this particular press release.
Even at such a late hour I venture to surmise that one or two of the White House correspondents weve still stirring. To be sure, Warm Springs, Ga., probably offers - little in the way of night life, -but it is cone ceivable that there may have been a poker game. Failing that, perhaps, one or two commentators might have remained up in genial debate on the yueshion “After Thomas Jefferson, What?” ; 4 And in defense of the President it should be Th out that he was not the first to introduce the melo. dramatic note into a technical discussion. | But it is not the best way in which to reach a wise
