= ”» ” + DP you have to pay 4 Federal income tax on your salary March 15? Well, none of the above did. And doesn’t that make you pretty much of a sucker? There are some 2,350,000 persons on the payrolls of state and local governments.; They enjoy every benefit of Federal Government that anyone else enjoys. , Of course a large majority of persons on the payrolls of state and local governments—like the great majority of private industry’s employees—receive salaries lower than the Federal income tax reaches. | But why shouldn’t the fortunate well-paid minority on the payrolls of state and local governments meet their obligations on exactly the same basis as the fortunate wellpaid minority on private payrolls, each according to his ablilty, to pay? ci These public payrollers, we are sure, are no less patriotic than private payrollers. They don’t dodge Federal income taxes; the law exempts them. They don’t make the Federal tax laws; Congress does. Congress is now working on, a general tax bill. We hope it will try once more to apply the Federal income-tax law equally to all citizens. We think that this time the "Supreme Court will uphold Congress. If it does not, then the only solution, is another constitutional amendment. Somehow we must wipe out the undemocratic, antisocial privilege of tax exemption now granted to favored groups.

HOW TO SAVE TVA HE resolution that has at last gone through Congress is broad enough to permit investigation of every phase of the TVA controversy, including the obstructive tactics of private utilities. A great many of the charges that have been made against TVA in recent weeks are irrelevant, absurd or false on their face. Those who would like to wreck that great public project have made the most of a chance to get wild rumors and unjustified suspicions into the record. And elay in getting the investigation started has enlarged their ppportunity. > : It will be easy for the investigating committee to exlore and explode such charges. . But that is only a small part of what must be done in order to restore confidence in TVA. The controversy among the directors, their serious charges against each ther, the dispute about whether policies now being folowed are sound and right—things like these cannot be disposed of unless the public-is convinced that the committee is working honestly, openly and with determination o get all the facts. | The enemies of TVA have been having a field day. The friends of TVA could make no greater mistake than to attempt control of the investigation with the idea of protecting anybody or concealing anything. For the TVA program—America’s greatest single undertaking in control of floods, restoration of wasted resources and development of navigation and public power— will not be destroyed by mud-slingers. False and malicious charges will fall of their own weight. Charges that are true can lead to prompt correction of anything that may be wrong. What might destroy that program, or cripple it beyond repair by preventing .a return of the people’s faith in its integrity, is any trace of whitewash applied to TVA by the investigating committee.

NO RAILROAD SUBSIDY RESIDENT ROOSEVELT stood on firm ground yester-

day when he opposed Government subsidies to the railroads. : :

. The subsidy proposal, as put up to the President at his conference with representatives of railroad management

‘and labor, has not been very thoroughly explained. But its

essence seems to have been something like this: The Government would guarantee to pay the roads the difference between their earnings and some figure agreed ~upon as a fair rate of income, the roads would maintain employment ‘and wage rates, and would start buying needed equipment. That would stimulate the heavy industries, _which in turn would give the railroads more business, increasing their earnings and decreasing the amount of Government subsidies required. It might have been as defensible a method of pumppriming as some the New Deal has tried in the past. Certainly the railroads are in grave trouble, and certainly it is desirable that their employees should be kept at work at good wages. eo

But Mr. Roosevelt is right. The Government cannot

afford to guarantee income to the sick railroad industry, for if it does it will meet irresistible demands to guarantee

income to other national industries. : ; What is needed, as Mr. Roosevelt said, is a definite plan for a fundamental solution of the transportation problem. We hope that the message he is preparing to send to Congress will propose such a plan. If it does, Congress _can hardly fail to recognize that the desperate condition of the railroads and the welfare of the whole country demand

By Westbrook Pegler The Daily Progress’ Anniversary Edition Is Full of Paid Cheers For Louisiana's Governor Leche. EW YORK, 'April 6—The mail brings dozens,

maybe hundreds, of pamphlets and papers amounting to thousands of columns of propaganda,

and most of them are thrown away, some after just a

glance, many in their original wrappers. . In this manner, no doubt, many nuggets of information are lost, and it must be thus that I missed, a little less than a year ago, one of the most interesting political papers of 1937. the special edition of 64 pages turned out by

‘the Daily Progress of Hammond, La. to celebrate Richard W. Leche’s first anniversary as Governor. This paper is a derivative of Huey Long’s Louisiana Progress and is a journalistic curiosity in that it has no masthead that I have been able to discover after three careful friskings of the copy which I recently obtained through the courtesy of a private citizen of Louisiana. The masthead of a paper is that portion above the leading editorial which gives the paper’s business address and names the publisher, editor and so forth. ‘ 8 2 ” ; : HIS edition contains the full-page advertisement of the municipality of Monroe, La., price $500, payment for which has been protested in the courts on the ground that it would be a political contribution to Governor Leche’s machine. It is the most rapturous volume of praise that I have ever seen. There is a full-page advertisement of Louisiana State University, “contributed” to the Governor's anniversary by “friends” of the university. There is a full-page advertisement of a state insane asylum, also “contributed” by its “friends.” The Charity Hospital of New Orleans, the Shreveport Charity Hospital and Solithwestern Institute (a coilege) each took a page through the “contributions” of “friends.” The Louisiana Congressional delegation, eight Congressmen and two Senators, kicked in for a page. So did the honorable justices of the Louisiana Supreme Court, the City of New Orleans, the New Orleans Board of Levee Commissioners, the State Conservation Commission, the Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans, the State Highway Commission, the State Board of Health and the Cities of Baton Rouge, Hammond and Lake Charles. There is a one-page ad whose sponsor is undefined, but apparently is the State itself—a spontaneous tribute to a great man. “Friends” of Eastern Louisiana Hospital “contribute” a halfpage testimonial of that institution, and “Citizens of New Orleans” are similarly moved on behalf of the Sewage and Water Board and the Public Belt Railroad Commission. Contractors, cement companies and insurance brokers add to the chorus of appreciation, all with good reason. : : . 2 = =»

N two whole pages the Progress bursts into. joyous acclaim on its own responsibility, and aside from the paid cheers there are 20 columns in width of photographs of Governor Leche. There are also four cartoons of four columns each one of which depicts a check citing the fact that since the hour of the political compromise with the White

House, khown as the second Louisiana purchase, ihe Federal Government had sent $75,000,000 in relief disbursements in Louisiana.

I'pis edition was published on May 14 last, and the

time of the wonder-man’s second anniversary is now |

approaching, a.date of which the many admiring boards, commissions, municipal councils and “friends” doubtless have received reminders ere this from the advertising department of Governor Leche’s personal political crgan. Organ? Chum, that is no organ That is the massed bands of all the official departments, state and municipal, in all Louisiana. :

Funds for Starting Revolution in Spain Came From 'Last of Pirates.’

EW YORK, April 6.—Strangest of all the men back of General Franco's rebel campaign in Spain is Juan March or Juan Albert, a creature combining all the estimable qualities of the American gangster, the Mexican bandit and the prohibition

financiers. He is the last pirate of the Mediterranean.

‘As a young man he observed that many pesetas were - made by numerous bands of smugglers who sent tobacco from Majorca into Africa. >

Juan March went into that disorderly business and soon introduced order and efficiency. He drove all the other smugglers out of competition and put the whole trade on a big-business basis like an American rum racket.

Hg grew rich. He built a tobacco factory, becoming an industrialist. The Spanish are tolerant of. smuggling. So Juan March actually used publicity to sell himself and his name to his Spanish compatriots.

- Then Alfonso, in an effort to save the taxes which" were being lost, arranged te sell the Moroccan tobacco monopoly to Juan March. But somehow the revenues failed to arrive at the Treasury. : ‘When Primo de Riviera came to power as dictator, Juan March struck up a friendship with him. Riviera publicly declared that whatever were March’s past sins, he was now serving the nation patriotically. He got the tobacco monopoly renewed and extended by Riviera. He acquired a great bank in. Palma. He blossomed out as the owner of various industries. When the revolution against Alfonso came March was a member of the Cortes. He was expelled as being “morally incompatible” with thé Cortes.

Took Refuge in Portugal

Then came the Popular Front Government in 1935 and of course Juan March took refuge in Porfugal. In 1936 news reached Madrid that Gil Robles, leader of the clerical and land-owning groups, was in France. He was in fact conferring with March. March’s wealth has been variously estimated at from 300 to 500 million pesetas.. Of course no one really knows, but he is reputed the richest man in Spain. And Robles was arranging with him for the financing of Franco's Fascist uprising. The funds for starting that perilous enterprise came from the tobacco smuggler. Obviously Juan March, however rich, could not finance a war operation like Gen. Franco's. Besides, his financial resources are seriously crippled by the Popular Front. What he did was to finance its launching, after which it has been supported by landowners and of course by Italy and Germany.

Those pitiful lost tribes cannot, of course, be brought back now from their celestial hunting grounds, but something can be done about the bare spots in front of the cigar stores. Would it be too ‘much to suggest that these vacant sidewalk posts be turned over, together with their responsibilities, to the men who would otherwise be spending the coming summer months Sitting on flag poles or roller-skating from New York to San Francisco? Anyway, what the tidyers-up of metropolitan street scenery ought to keep reminding themselves as they go along is that most people enjoy nothing so much ini the way of scenery as something to look at.

READER CRITICIZES STREETCAR SERVICE By Brightwood Resident Who is held responsible for the repairing of the streets where trackless trolleys are running—the City of Indianapolis or the streetcar company? i. The portion of the street between the streetcar rails on N. Gale St. from Roosevelt Ave. is in a deplorable condition. Automobiles and busses going down the street sound like loads of junk because of the chuckholes in the street. Another street is 26th St. from Gale St. to Sherman Drive: The holes are as big as bath tubs—ana still aren’t fixed. : The service on the Brightwood

TWO SENATORIAL CANDIDATES PROPOSED

By Gerald Woody, Bedford “Since Senator VanNuys is to be “retired” at the state convention in June, it behooves the delegates to

the convention to be thinking about the man they will choose as his successor. And again the Senator is wrong. The workers in the precincts had decreed his defeat long before either Cliff Townsend started campaigning. for the nomination of Governor or the court plan was formulated. VanNuys consistently has refused to play ball with the National the Democratis

tion. When he had a grievance either real or fancied, instead of taking it up with the proper parties and ironing it out around a conference table, he has always aired his views and in general acted like a pouty child. j And now he is running for reelection as an Independent. He doesn’t even have confidence enough in his record to make a fight for delegates, and attempt a defense of it before the regular party conven-

there won't be a handful of Republicans scratch their tickets to vote for him as an Independent. He may succeed in pulling enough weakkneed Democrats to defeat the regular Democratic nominee. There are two men in the State who can defeat this scheme next fall. They are Sam Jackson and Pat Manion. Both have the youth and vigor to carry on a militant campaign. Both are outstanding examples of that oratory for which Indiana is noted. Both are exceedingly brilliant men and well sup-

are well acquainted with constitutional law and governmental pro-

cedure. Gr Both of these sturdy Democrats

.| By H. L. .

General business activity is about 40 per cent below normal now, after having nearly reached the normal line for a very brief period in the

early part of 1937. The abrupt dip |

in the index started just after business leaders succeeded in their ef-

fort to remove 500,000 from the|-

WPA rolls. This indicates that general business was more dependent

upon relief money circulation than

the half million men they had removed from WPA relief. | The 40 per cent drop was an extremely costly mistake to business. ‘The ballyhoo last year was that business could now take care of itself, so the 500,000 could go out and dig bait for themselves. | It is surprising how much ego can be flashed on the ‘screen about individual initiative and ability.

Demonstrations of ability and ini-

tiative are much below the claims. One authority says that only one in 5000 has got it—ability. Ego, however, is much higher in ratio. While the President is pushing the Reorganization Bill to cut Government expenses, little business howls, although business, itself, is in desperate need of drastic reorganization now, if it is to survive the present toboggan slide. The injection of 20 billion dollars of Government credit into the business arteries, which already were throbbing with overextended “fiat credit,” may have been a blood transfusion for a very anemic business structure. However, now this patient needs more than a double does of ‘it to sit up again. : ) -If the Government could furnish the initiative and the ability that business claims, but sorely lacks, the patient might recover without alms from the Treasury. Business needs reorganization much more than the Government! :

new Afmy problem clearef to the people, it. would begood of Go gi lig Our Army is in a period of almost revolutiogaty change due to swift developments in both world politics and the art of war. Old Nathan Bedford Forrest was just an uneducated blacksmith, but He turned out to be one of the best generals produced on either side of the Civil War. He said all that is contained m ‘Napoleon's maxims’ in a. single sentence. The way to win either battle or wars is “to’git thar fustest with the mostest men.”: By “thar” he meant the critical point and not the whole field of fighting. = = In other words, it is speed and timing that counts even more than massesiof men. « © = rh Alera am £ A HE only change in Gen. Forrest’s rule which is changing our Army is to make it read: “To git thar fustest with the greatest fire-powér” A doughs boy with a musket moves slowly and can carry aid ‘fire relatively few cartridges. His force with a bayénet in his hand af the point of physical contact, which is inevitable in the decisive struggle, is no more than one man’s weight. Victory depends on how many of him can reach the last objective alive and uninjured, That is a very big hazard because modern defensive fire is so terrible that the unprotected foot soldier

has little chance in crossing fireswept. ground. “ The great change is to put men behind steel shields in motor drawn vehicles moving at great speed and to arm them with rapid fire guns of varying calibers, Thus with a fraction of former forces a commander can carry more amunition, reach a critical objective many times as fast, with a fire far more deadly and with much smaller losses. Cn This means smaller divisions and other troop units, - fewer men doing the work of many, but it also means greatly increased cost due to much more equipment of greater expense. It means far more highly trained officers and soldiers—more technical expertness. : 2 2 = THESE make very great changes in our military 4 problem. Before the World War it used to be said that it took a year to make a private soldier. The war proved that, with intensive training it could be done much more quickly. That enabled us to put 2,000,000 men in France, a thing which never could ‘have been done on the old training schedules. It probably won the war. : : : ‘But in this new motorized, mechanized and highly technical war, we could not get an improvised army ready nearly so fast. It requires much great peacetime preparation both of equipment and of officers and men. i i It is highly important for the country to be aware of all this. We do not need a large Army but we do need a good one and we need to have it ready at the drop of a hat. ,Our only danger on this continent is that some super-prepared power will catch us napping on defense against a sudden mechanized raid. Army plans are all based on that. They are reasonable and carefully worked out.. They should have the enthusiastic support of the country. 13

It Seems to Me By Heywood Broun |

Now Is a Poor Time to Be Fighting Over Such Things as a Shakeup Bill.

N= YORK, April 6.—For the first time in several years I find myself in agreement with Walter Lippmann. . ... ; - Pointing out that we are living through one of the most critical -tests of democracy in modern history, Mr. Lippmann urges that we avoid factional fury concerning minor matters.

“We cannot afford,” he wrote, “to waste our time and our energy at this time on such comparative trifies as the Reorganization Bill and on the question of who is. to investigate the personal quarrel in TVA.” | This seems to me sound. It is obvious that the ine fluence of France upon European affairs has been diminished by its difficulties in maintaining a united front. , : Even the most hardshelled isolationist in the United States does not deny the hope that the moral influence of American democracy may finally come to - have a healing force in the calming of chaos. uo | At the moment we play into the hands of Hitler - and Mussolini. Any criticism of either gentleman as a dictator may well fall flat since the press of Italy and Germany is in a position to reply, “But American newspapers say exactly the same thing about their own President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.” a | Now, of course, if it were really true that the reorganization measure were actually a step toward. setting up dictatorship it would be entirely logical to engage in a furious fight against fascism at home in spite of any loss of prestige abroad. : ; : |- But when I see the name of Senator Norris listed as one who has betrayed democracy I blush for those ‘who make such an accusation. Indeed, almost all the - “men in the Congress who have a right to the title of . “progressive” or “liberal” :have supported the bill to increase executive efficiency and diminish wasted efort. :

Sweet News for Fascist Ears

To be.sure, the controversy has taken on a significance far beyond®the importance of thessubjeet in hand. Reorganization ‘has been seized upon as an opportunity to’ undermine Franklin D. Roosevelt. The President may quite possibly be criticized for having chosen this somewhat limited meadow as the battleground for the New Deal against its opponents. Personally I could wish that he had put the same fervor: into the fight for the wages and hours bill. . Democracy will endure whether ‘reorganization is killed, modified or utterly defeated. But it is tragic to have the word go out to the world, and this includes us here at home, that free institutions are

tottering here in America. I can imagine no sweeter . news for Fascist ears. SN as : a

Watching Your Health

By Dr. Morris Fishbein :

WENTY-ONE years ago today the United States was in a frenzy. Congress had declared a state of war against Germany and we were off to join Europe’s death parade. The cost of that junket is

staggering, especially when you re-

call that not a single aim for which we fought has been won. The world is not safe for democracy, nor for security, nor for culture, nor for simple human happiness. On the contrary, another dark age lurks around the corner. . Yet today, and almost word for word, papers repeat the paragraphs that flamed on their front pages before we entered the World War.

Politicians mouth the same plati-

tudes. “Hitler must be stopped before it is too late.” (Wasn't that what we said about the Kaiser?) “Japan must be crushed.” (Once if was Turkey.) In short we are exhorted that all who love freedom must be prepared to die for it. Believe it no more, mothers, wives, sisters of America. Instead shall we not dedicate ourselves to a nobler and perhzps harder task—re-

solve to live for freedom? For certainly in order to preserve the best ts of civilization—science, wis~ om, liberty of thought and speech for ourselves and for mankind—we must stay out of foreign wars. On this anniversary let us also take a good squint at certain Congressional patriots, who will be sure to yell loudest about the honor of the nation ‘and their love of liberty when danger threatens. : Well, this is a time of danger, and note if you please how democracy is being murdered in our own Senate halls. Certain measures designed to confer dictator powers upon one individual and, therefore, to destroy representative government are
