LETTER

EDITOR

Dear Editor: This is a copy of a letter that I sent to Senator Vance Hartke that I desire to share with you. I am concerned about S B No. 5 which advocates closing retail business houses on Sunday. I think this is a bad bill that would be very difficult to enforce if it were to be enacted into law. We don’t need that kind of state or federal control over our lives. I am aware of the concern of our good citizens over accelerating violence and crime in our country. Many think that more people would go to Church on Sunday if merchants didn’t do business that day, and a better society would evolve. I believe that religion, morals, character, and other qualities cannot be corrected by law. The fact that the Supreme Court has ruled Sunday laws are not religious doesn’t change them from having religious significance t o many people. Most citizens favor Sunday legislation on the basis of showing respect for "the Lord’s day.’ Retail merchants do not deserve to be protected monetary wise any more then do other citi-

zens of the state that would be discriminated against if they lost a days wages or for other reasons. Competition will always be part of the American system. I still believe the greatest need today is for men of principle that adhere to the Constitution. Men that are proud of freedom and strong for liberty for all people. I hope the retail merchants will consider the ominous threats to freedom that will surely come about should Sunday laws become universal in scope. Once laws are enacted they are to be enforced. Enforcement of discriminating laws causes suffering. Suffering will lead to tyranny. We have come a long way since the cruel-

I believe the General Assembly of the State of Indiana has the duty to consider the welfare of all Hoosiers. Merchants should value their freedom to sell or to not to sell on Sunday according to their own judgement regardless of the monetary crisis this may entail. This legislation would encourage neighbors and fellow business men to inform on one another. It seems to me that our police force have all they can do apprehending actual criminals rather then making criminals out of honest people. The fines of five hundred dolars (1500), one thousand dollars ($1,000), or thirty days (30), in the county jail may not be a strong enough deterrent for some citizens and once inflicted may bring shame to our fair State. Sincerely yours, Viola M. Miller Ladoga, Indiana
