“YOUTHFUL CRIME BRED BY FRUSTRATION SENSE”
By Joseph A. Slechts, 610 N, New Jersey st. I have read your series of biogra-
phies in the Smith murder case,
with: great interest, as undoubtedly | there is much that should be said about the breeding of crime. Unfortunately, I believe you have been handicapped by your evident desire to blame social and police agencies. Granted there is much to be said| about improving the latter, you have offered no single word on why these young people colfé under the surveillance of police authority in the first instance. I cannot believe that you consider police and proba~tion authorities responsible for the first act which brings a child in the scope of their interest. In short, nothing has been said in your series about the purported topic, the breeding of crime and eriminal. I volunteer the suggestion that crime in a young person, except the obviously mentally deficient, is bred by frustration; that this frustration is bred not merely by diseased imagination, but by the callous disinterest of society, including many parents, in the need of children for a satisfactory emotional life; that there is a dissatisfaction—and crime breeding movie-writers, and life itself as we, the society, are creating it for ourselves and our chil-

Harvard and Yale Treatment
THE FORMER HARVARD LAW PROF is as precise as a 19th century sprinter when he sets out to tell what he has concluded that the law is in the case. He darts his head from side to side and gives the handful of those present in the small inner sanctum of the court the full benefit of his wisdom. It comes out like a college lecture. The case, entitled Freeman vs. Indiana, involved the sale of securities from an Indiana estate on the New York stock exchange, through a broker, on which the state levied a 1 per cent gross income tax amounting to $652. : They had no more right to do that than to levy on manufactured products in interstate sales, which the court previously had held unconstitutional] in the casé of Adams vs. Indiana, Justice Frankfurter held. That this is one of those borderline cases where the court could hold either way, the justice admitted in the opinion itself. “The history of this problem is spread over hundreds of volumes of our reports,” he de "To attempt to harmonize all that has been said in the past would neither clarify what has gone: before nor guide the future. Suffice it to say that edpecially in this field opinions must be read in the setting of the particular cases and as the product of preoccupation with their special facts.” That reasoning didn't satisfy Justice Wiley Ruf~ ledge.

THE CENTRAL CANAL of Indiana's $13 million mammoth internal improvement bill of 1836 was a $3% million firecracker that failed to explode. It flzzed out in its eight-mile link between Indianapolis and Broad Ripple. . This canal is a juicy illustration of what made Indiana's entire internal improvement program of the 1830's both a binge and a bust. The hot potato of the idea, the thing that made it so tempting to tackle and so difficult to resist, was this: Its basic idea was

Income Tax Law Aids the Lawyers
the Indiana law invalid in: this case. It largely was based on the matter of multiple taxation. In this instance it was an invasion by the ‘state into the federal field, he held. . The other four judges joining in the majority opinion were: $ Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson and Associsje Jus tices Stanley F. Reed, Robert H. Jackson and Harold H. Burton, : After Justices Frankfurter and Rutledge got through with their opinions, Justice William ©. Douglas read hiseglissent which was concurred in by Justice Frank Murphy. A former Yale law prof, Justice Douglas is as informal as Justice Frankfurter is professional. “I think the court confuses a gross receipts tax on the Indiana broker with a gross receipts tax on his Indiana customer,” Justice Douglas began. “I think the least that can be said is that the local transactions or activities of this taxpayer can be easily untangled from the interstate activities of his broker. . . . “The present tax is not aimed at interstate commerce and does not discriminate against it. It is not imposed as a levy for the privilege of doing it. It is not a tax on interstate transportation or communication. It is not an exaction on property in its interstate journey. It is not a tax on interstate selling. The tax is on the proceeds of the sales less the brokerage commissions and therefore does not reach the revenues from the only interstate activities involved in these transactions.
Still Room for More Cases
“IT 18 THEREFORE ESSENTIALLY no different, so far as the commerce claus? is concerned from a tax by Indiana on the proceeds of the sale of & farm or other property in New York where the mails are used to authorize it, to transmit the deed, and to receive the proceeds.” So all three opinions seem to agree on one point— that the Indiana gross income tax law will still offer -plenty of opportunities for lawyers’ fees.

State Transport Program Collapses
This is einphasized by the fact that this canal itself was but a hookup between the end sections of the Wabash and Erie canal which was in reality the ' backbone of the entire internal improvement setup in the state. The Central canal, as planned, ran from the Wabash and Erie canal just east of Peru to a point on this canal just north of Bloomfleld. It started southeast into Grant county, and turned southwest to run through Indianapolis to its southern point on the Wabash and Erie canal just north of Bloomfield. A 45-mile section of the ganal running through Indianapolis was surveyed and partially constructed between Noblesville and Martinsville. About eight miles of this section between Broad Ripple and Indianapolis was completed, and it was the only section of the entire canal that was completed. The total cost of the Central canal was $1,600,000. In other words, the state of Indiana paid $1,600,000 for this eight-mile stretch of the Central canal. This was about $200,000 a mile, or $38 a foot, and the $1,600,000 total was about 12.3 per cent of the $13. million appropriation for the whole internal improve~ ment plan in the state. In 1859, Indiana sold this $1,600,000 eight-mile
baby to Shoup, Raridan, and Newman for $2425. In J §
1881, the Indianapolis Water Co. bought it, and to Indiana it became just a relic of a dream.
Helped to Better Transport THIS DOWN-TO-EARTH fade-out of the Central canal is a symbol of all that touched directly the entire internal improvement era in the state. All through this era, Hoosiers wobbled and stumbled, much as does the little one just learning to walk.
Viewed so, Indiana's canal era was serious enough —yes. But it was stimulating enough and inspiring to the point of helping every modern Hoosier to be a better one.
