“LIL ARTHUR”

Senator Arthur R. (Our’s is a noble heritage) Robinson, our Senior Sena tor who is generally credited with “Knowing the most about nothing” and being possessed with the art of saying nothing with immense seriousness, has apparently found a panacea for American businesg which is au last emerging from the doldrums. In all of his campaign speeches “Lil Arthur” is emphatically declaring that no real recovery will be attained until such time as unemployed, which he numbers at 11,000,000, are remployed by industry. Bm: along with his “prophecy” he is demanding the immediate discontinu. ance of what he dramatically terms «“wasteful squandering of public funds.” To just what he refers by that remafns unknown for in his adroit manner of evasion. he has failed to once point what he means by that eloquent phrase. Hence we must assume he favors the Federal Government immediately disband al: public relief agencies, credit extending organizations and any other instrumentality which has been establish to assist the country in emerg jng from the recent “depression.” While offering no substitute, “Li: Arthur” is evidently of the opinion . the country would be in a better con- " dition today if: The Bank moratorjum of March 1933 had not been called...of course it only prevented the complete collapse of the entire banking structure of the country—a very small item. The Federal Deposit Insurance Law had not been passed which has made it possible for the depositors in every bank which was reopened as a Class “A” bank after the moratorium and subsequently closed to be paid 100 cents on the dollar—we are informed that only five such banks have failed in the past eighteen months whereas thousands fajled in the year immediately preceeding that period. @ The Hom: Owners Loan Corporation had nor been created which has saved the homes of thousands from foreclosure. The Farm Credit Acts had not been passed to aid the debt ridden farmer who was facing eviction from the farm and home for which he had so long labored. The Agricultural Adjustment Act had not been passed and which incidentallyy has only increasea tihe prices farmers receive from thelr products at least 100% and in some instances 700%. The Public Works Administration Act had no: been passed. It has taken millions from relief rolls and placced them to work on needed public improvemenrs at a living wage. The National Industriat Recovery Act had not been passel—it too of course had only eliminated child labor, the sweat shops, raised wages, shortened hours and caused millions more to be employed. All of which in the opinion of Senator Robinson are of Do consequence, have been futile in the ends which they sought to attain and should be done away with at once.

Nine years of being hypnotized by his own visions have resulted in the complete stagnation of the Senibr Senators faculties of reason. He would take us back to where we were on March 4th, 1933, to the same conditions of unrest which existed then. He would merely say to employers here are 11,000,000 men—with out work—hungry—facing eviction from their homes—put them to work —you will be unable to sell what you manufacture, the farmer has no money with which to buy but that is all right for that is your worry not mine. By his own actions Senator Robinson has displayed that he is of distinctly subordinate worth both to the United States Senate and the citizens of the state which he is supposed to represent. Indiana voters will short1y have the opportunity to and most assuredly will retite from publie service one who has so often been “laughed out of court” by his colleagues and return in his stead, Sherman Minton, a gentleman who has a character of sterling excellence and who will display a sincere, kindly and sympathic spirit toward his fellow citizens, -

REPUBLICANS UP IN THE AIR Voters of Indiana are greatly amused at the split among Republican campaigners and the confusion among G. 0. P. Generals of the state over what primary issues they are supposed to follow in their drive for public offices fthis fall. At the outset, the Republican central committee of Indiana was under instructions from National Chairman Fletcher to make the Constitution and the Roosevelt New Deal the focal points of their attack. That is the tune that Senator Arthur R. Robingon gsang in his keynote speech at Wawasee. But on the night that the Maine election returns were being read, reporting the overwhelming defeat of Anti-Roosevelt candidates. Senator Robinson changed his hymn of hate and began to direct all his venom toward Governor Paul V., MecNutt. Other Republican speakers followed suit. And after a week of lambasting found themselves called upon the green carpet of G. 0. P, western campaign directors in Chicago. 4 ,; ~ Don_B. Irwin, Republican state treasurer, were forced to go to Chicago in an effort to settle the confus.

ion over issues within theit own party. The Republican campaign in Indiana has been marked by a constant friction between those who (hink the Roosevelt New Deal is the most vulnerable point for attack and those who want to assail Governor McNutt with personalities. Part of the confusion, at least, is due to the astounding facts learned by Republican precinct workers in many districts and reported to headquarters. These facts show that the farmers and property owners general 'y are highly pleased with both President Roosevelt’s program and with Governor McNutt’s new deal, The President’s program, on one hand, hag refinanced their homes and farms and has put greater cash income into their pockets, while the Governor’s program has saved homes and farms srom being sold for delinquent taxes ard has saved the public schools.’ The oftener the G. O. P. generals ewitch their campaign tactics and re. frame their issues, the more quickly will voters realize the flimsiness of their attacks and the instability of ‘heir promises.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S ADDRESS PLEASES Continued from Page One He said that his first great task afiter March, 1933 was to save the country’s banking system. -This was done he said, and then the New Deal’s efforts were directed to helping railroads, insurance companies and finally home owners and industries itself.

“In all of these efforts the government has come to the assistance of business and with the full expectation that the money used to assist these enterpripes will eventually Dbe ‘re. paid.” he said. “I believe it will.”? The second step to restore normal business, he contnued was “to clean up thoroughly unwholesome condi-. tions in the field of investment”. In that connection he observed: “Only a very small minority of the people of this county believe in gambling as a substitue for the old philosophy of Benjamin Franklin that the way to wealth is through work.” The president discussed frankly the problems of the National Recovery administration, told how it was to be reorganized and paid tribute to the able and energetic leadership of Gen. Hugh S. Johnson recently resign ed as recovery administrator. He admitted that the heavy industries had not.progressed as rapidly as general business, but said there was no magic formula nor economic panacea which could revive them over night. «“Nevertheless, the gains of trade and industry, as a whole, have been ‘substantial,” he said. . «“We count, in the future as in the past, on the driving power of individual initiative and the incentive of fair private profit, strengthened with the acceptance of those obligations to the public interest which rest upon us all,” he added. “We have the right to expect that this driving power will be given patriotically and whole. heartedly to our nation.” It is time now, he said to review ‘the works of the NRA to determine whether its emergency decisions “have ibeen best calculated to promote industrial recovery and a permanent fimprovetment of business and labor conditions.” i Mr. Roosevelt defended heatedly | the expenditures of the Public Works administration in putting men back ‘to work. ~ “To those who say that our expendi tures for public works and other %means for Tecovery are a waste that we cannot afford, I answer that no country, however rich, can afford the ‘waste of its human resources,” he said. “Demoralization caused by un‘employment is our greatest extravagance. : “Morally it is sthe greatest menace to our gocial order. Some people try to tell me that we must make up our minds that for the future we shall have ‘millions of unemployed, just as other countries have had them for a decade. What may be mnecessary for those countries is not my responsibility to determine. * “But as for this country, I stand or fall by my refusal to accept as a necessary condition of our future a permanent army of unemployed. * * * I do not want to think that it is the destiny of any American to remain permanently on the relief rolls.” The president concluded his address with an ironical observation of his own, saying that he was not favorable to a “return to that definition of liberty under which for many years a free people were being gradually regimented into the service of the privileged few.” : “1 prefer,” he said “and I am sure that you prefer, that broader definition of liberty under which we are moving forward to greater freedom, to greater security for the average man than he has ever known before in the history of the nation.” kot ———

Must Get Special Plates From Stafe. Mrs. William Sack manager of the local automobile license bureau calls attention to the fact that applications for “special” auto license plates Issued for next year must be filed with the state bureau and the special numbers will not be issued /by the local branch. Heretofore the practice of calling for special numbers has caused much confusion and by the order of the state bureau the local branch is prohibited from issuing these. : Applications for special numbers may be made direct from the state department, however, if the applica“ian’ is in Indianapolis not later than Nov. 20th. Special forms will then be sent out from Indianapolis on which the car owner may make his application. Those applying for licenses not included in the series assigned tothe local branch are Tequested to observe this information, Mrs. Sack says as no special numbers can be issued in any other manner.

Funds Not Taxable

Participation in the federal housing program was encouraged with the ruling that funds obtained through loans under the state gross jncome law. The ruling was made by Clarence A. Jackson director of the gross income tax division, upon the petition of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce which is in charge of the repair and modernization campaign in Marion county. - Jackson said that although the money borrowed is actually income, it. is not money owned by the borrower and consequently cannot be classed as income from payment of the state tax.
