Undulant Socialism ** 1 - By GEORGE S.BENSON js Resident of Harding College Searey.Arkansas ■aHfcl" K 3

A SICK republic, like a human invalid, passes through a crisis in the course of most any protracted illness. After the crisis, the patient rallies toward recovery or sinks with alarming haste toward the end. Whatever is to be done after a crisis must be accomplished with dispatch, or it is too late. The English government passed through a crisis approximately a year ago. Since England’s current administration proclaimed itself owner and operator of the coal mines, Britain has been viewed popularly as Socialistic one of thu collectivist nations. Not all the individuals in the Empire are socialists. Large elements are not. But this large minority is being forgotten. Curtains are being drawn. The crisis is over and England has gone left. Now We NOW the ailment that Have It prostrated John Bull has been communicated to Uncle Sam. The symptoms are unmistakable as undulant fever; wave upon wave of collectivist power, with a show of growing intensity. Our government has taken over our coal mines from their owners because of work stoppages through strikes strikes by the best paid group of mine workers on earth. 1 think perhaps the workers ought to have had an increase in Gy, which they no doubt could ve obtained without striking. Nevertheless, they struck and government took over the busi-

ness long enough, at least, to close a new contract giving a raise of $1.85 a day per man and a royalty of 5c a ton on coal to give their union a “welfare” fund. The new “welfare” fund has no relation to the union's sick and accident fund, already laij,e. Early THIS contract will raise Signs the price of coal 25e to 30c a ton and build up the “welfare” fund at the rate of 25 million dollars a year. The Senate has approved the executive department’s right to impose this contract on the mine owners when they take their property back. This is an attack of the undulant socialism. Government can now control the cost of coal to the owner of a mine. By fixing labor’s wage, *a ruler can make coal production cost whatever suits his fancy. Government already can control the price of coal to consumers. The neck of the coal industry is in a nut-cracker and government has the power to choke it to death at will that, or take it over entirely. With the sanction of Congress, which I hope never comes, federal officials can do to any industry what they are doing to coal. Each assault on freedom will be one more attack of the dread disease, undulant socialism. It works like the- fever which, scientific' men say, can be cured in rare instances if vigorous treatment is begun in the early stages.

Long Distance Calls Increasing Indainapolis telephone users are breaking all records for long distance calls, L. W. Shumaker, division manager of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company, said recently. He added that more long distance calls are being placed from Indianapolis now than during the highest war month.

The peak of wartime long distance calling was reached here in June of last year, when the daily average of outgoing calls soared to an all-time high of 14,300. The average for this month is running nearly 2,000 calls a day, higher. Increased use of long distance s reported in all parts of the country and the lines generally continue to be overcrowded. “We now have more than 650 girls on the long distance staff here,” continued Mr. Shumaker, “and all positions at the switchboard are covered during the busy hours. New circuits are being added and the installation of

in the Indianapolis office is now in progress.” The shortages of basic materials have handicapped the manufacturers of intricate long distance equipment and the delivery of new equipment has not kept pace with the growing demand for service. As a result, subscribers are encountering delays more frequently than during the early months of this year, the Indiana Bell manager said. Were You Born in AUGUST ? Virgo rules this period, and health, hygiene and cleanliness are the guiding principles of her sons and daughters. Little wonder many Virgo persons become doctors and nurses. Virgo persons are modest and retiring. This tends to make them ill rewarded in early life, but through thrift and self denial they often become affluent later on in life. The flower of August is the gladiolus and the birthstone, the sardonyx.

Is a veteran who received a disability discharge after serving less than 90 days in the armed forces eligible for the readjustment allowance? A. Only if the disability was service connected . will be eligible. Otherwise he is not eligible because he did not serve the required 90 days. Q. Whom does an employer contact for help in setting up an on-the-job or apprentice training program to employ veterans under the G. I. Bill of Rights? A. The interested employer may contact his County service officer or County sub-approval committee, or he may write directly to R. F. Robinson, Educa-. 1 tional Director, State of Indiana! Department of Veterans’ Affairs,! 431 North Meridian street, Indianapolis 4. Q. What -are some of the new; features of the bill which passed Congress and which is in the White House for the President’s signature liberalizing National Service Life Insurance? A. The new legislation, as soon as the President signs it, will add many features similar to those in commercial policies. It will permit lump sum payments, end restrictions on the naming of the beneficiaries, add total disability coverage, and provide a flexible system of conversion from military to civilian-type insurance. Q. Is a veteran who takes advantage of the provisions in the G. I. Bill of Rights to get a college education still eligible to obtain a G. I. home loan? A. Yes; he is eligible for both, the educational benefits and the loan guarantee. Q. Is a home loan which is guaranteed under the G. I. Bill of Rights a gift? A. No. A guaranteed loan is not a gift, it must be repaid. If the Government pays the guaranteed part of the loan to the lender, the veteran is still obligated to the Government for the payment. Q.

TRANSIT VEHICLES ARE BEING ADDED With 30 modern diesel motor coaches still “on the way,” Indianapolis Railways, Inc., this week rushed 15 renovated buses into service and anticipated delivery of five new coaches in September. Purchase of the 20 new and second-hand vehicles on June 27 was announced shortly after the transit firm was forced to abandon 15 obsolete and condemned buses. The 30 diesel coaches had been promised for delivery in January of this year, but material shortages, strikes and other production stoppages which effected the automotive industry have delayed delivery until approximately November. To provide relief for the rapidly depreciating bus fleet, the Company scoured the country for more vehicles. Five new Twin Coach vehicles with a seating capacity of 34 passengers will arrive in September. Meanwhile, as an emergency stop-gap, the Companjr-was able to obtain 15 used 36 passenger coaches from Chicago. “I only want to emphasize that these second-hand buses are an emergency measure,” Harry Reid, president said. “We regret exceedingly to purchase secondhand equipment for our system, but manufacturers can not promise delivery of new equipment which we have on order until some time this fall. In the meantime, we are doing our ut- | most to meet our schedules,” he I continued.

Gross Income Tax Returns Increase Collections reported by the Indiana Gross Income Tax Division for the. fiscal year ending June 30 fell $80,133.41 short of the alltime record established a year ago, Walter L. Sturdevant, chief deputy director of the tax division, announced here today. The $46,251,546.95 paid by Hoosiers on their gross receipts since July 1, 1945, ranks as the second largest collection in the 13-year history of the state agency. Although it is a 1.7 per cent drop under last year’s revenue, Mr. Sturdevant pointed out that the amount is more than double the average collections in the more normal pre-war years of 1938, 1939 and 1940, and ranks 20 millions of dollars ahead of 1941. Tax payments during the first and final quarters of the fiscal year exceeded collections for all comparative periods, but dropped well below the figures established in 1945 for the second and third quarters. This year the average payment from each of 1,260,517 taxpayers was $36.69, an increase of 71 cents for each return although approximately 26,500 workers are delinquent in filing their 1945 reports.
