SIGNS- OF THESE TIMES By Dudley A. Smith

Those behind: Raymond S. Springer: in the ' Indiana campaign to upset the taxing: system andg State’s form of/ government have’ the same purposes:in mind i that Wall Street' and Big Business have in backing Governor> Landon for President. They all' want to make the consumer pay the costs: of the Hoover panic and of future expenditures for poor reHef. . ¢

The' baé¢kers of Mr. Springer, Republican candidate for Governor, are all the friends of Big Business-—-James’ E.“ Watson the Ex-Senator and lobbyist for' the' Sugar Trust; James P. Goodrich; former Governor and intimate frfend of Herbert Hoover, who said poor relief' was a problem for local property owners to bear; and’ ‘Waltey F. Bossert, the man of mystery, whose name nevertheless was well known in the days when Ed Jacksen was Governor and an invisible -empire ruled Indiana.

The only .hope. that the Republican party. had in Indiana and the nation to make a campaign against the

humanitarian objectives of President Roosevelt and the sound Democratic government of the State was to appeal“to’'those who were most dissatis fied with conditions as they are. They looked around and found that the heavy finance was to be obtainéd, not from farmers and working people, but from the business, professional and large income folks: So, in traditional old Jim Watson style, they wrote a platform appealing to those who seek the special privilege -of making the consumers pay the costs of the depression.

The Republican promise to balance the national budget without additional federal income taxes is a promise to Big Business that the consumer will be made to pay for the Hoover panic through an increase of federal excise taxes against the consumer.. The G. O. P. Indiana promise to repeal the Gross Income Tax law, is a promise to Big Business of this state, that the tax load will be shifted back upon the shoulders of property: owners. and given to consumers to pay through new sales, excise or consumer taxes.

But the campaign strategy of the Republican party is to use their heavy contributions from Big Business in an “educational” campaign which will convince the laborer and the farmer and the consumer that he will have to pay the poor relief and depression costs under the Democratic program. As United States Senator Sherman Minton asserts, “if that were so, Big Business would ngt be howling and wculd not even be interested in the outcome of tiuy year’s “election’ !

A fact that is not generally understood, even by some persons who have been paying taxes for many years, is that not one penny of the taxes they pay at the Courthouse goes to upkeep of the Federal gov ernment. Another fact about lu(iiana’ taxes that is not genera 'y understood is that only 4.6 ceats of every dollar paid in at the Courthouse goes toward the upkeep of State Government.: It was three times that amount in the last Republican adminisration, but that has been the rate through the present Pemocratic administration. But it seems that Candidate Springer has walked out on his backers, or else has become confused by their advise. He became gso frightned over the reaction which get in against his party’s platform promises of a net income tax and of fsucp other taxes,” a phrase which erfectly describes the sales tax an: he ' consumers’ tax, that he promis- | d the absurdity of planning to run ;the' State government without any taxes at all.. It may have been caused by the fact that Jim Goodrich pnd’ Jim Watson neither one like net income taxes. Ex-Senator Jim several times hag had run-ing with internal revenue collectors about the accuracy of his income tax reports. | It is a sly reversion of fact and of theory for the Republican party to be telling the working man and the farmer that his taxes are going to be higher under Roosevelt than under B Rlepublican administration when pll the time they are plotting to invent new Federal and State consum er taxs. The real threat is that they will give the wage earners and work ers not only a State Salestax but also Federal Sales tax. They may deny their intents, but it is clear as !;laylight that if those who have the large incomes want to be relieved of paying -the costs of government, {either the property owners or the ?consnmer& must pay, fr these are ‘the only two remaining sources of revenue for any government. i

Last Thursday evening the Methodists of Ligonier deligativlly en- | tertained the teachers of the South and North Side scouols of Lizonicr and also those from l'crry Centra ' ized. After a bountiful dinner, Rev. Wischmeier acting as toastmaster, introduced different departments of his church who in turn did their bit to welcome and entertain the demagogues. Finally, Toastmaster Wischmeier very cleverly presented each teacher who respond in turn by acknowledgement of the introduction with impromptu speeches. Prok. ‘Bangs closed the program with sume well chosen remarks regarding the relationship exisuing among the three great characier building institutions, )the church, the nome and the schooi. Other special numbers on the program were: Songs by Junior department and Sunday ‘school. A yell for the teachers by Intermediates led by Patricia Longnecker; piano duet by Miss Blem and Mr. Lucas; remarks by Frances Benthine and a discussion by Mrs. Stultz.

Ex:ension Course

The Indiana University Extension course in Victorian Literature got nicely startcd last Thursday evening when twelve students signed up for the course and received the preliminary discussion and assignments concerning the work. The next meeting will be held this afternoon at 4:30 at the South Side school building. There is still time for others to take advantage of this op‘portunity if they so desire.. The class will meet once a week for seventeen times for three semester hours which is equivalnt to 4 8/5 term hours of credit.

This is the first time avything of this kind has ever been attempted in Ligonier and offers an excellent chance for teachers as well as others to sécure additional college credits. Indiana university credits are good anywhere and may be transferred to other institutions of learning.
