by Arthur Brisbane Employment Problem Congress Comes Back | S’tml ami Body One 4'nite a Budget

President Hoover’s . forceful address to nearly 400 industrial leaders in Washington is one :or w hich the country will tha lk him. It is bound to produce results. There is no cause for any pessimism or permanent discount; foment, but the well-informed rout know that there has been a sharp increase in unemployed. We have probably in the United States fully as many’ unemployed as there are in Britain where government pays a “dole" enough to live on each week, to those out of work. We have here 2,000,000 more unemployed than they have*in France, where unemployment is practically known. Arid this is surprising in the richest, most prosperous country on earth. 1• -: ! detern ii »d to do something about it. Congress again is in session and a cut of $160,000,000 in the income tax is the program. That will be weeome news to those that pay income tax, a 'small percentage of all the people. But it is just as important news to those that pay no income tax. They all earn money, and any cut in income tax, especially in corj>oration tax, encourages development, expansion. employment. A man will work harder for ••wine; that the . wemm -nt does not take away from him. One e? tne most iimportant institutions in America is the new psychiatric unit ofi the medical center at Columbia college. Doctor Butler of Colw Dr. Kirby and all promoting that* ot i d scientific center, in-1 eluding the New York stare au-' thorities, are to be eongratulat- < ed.

Russia, naturally, is- annoyed at United States interference in China. The Russians say Uncle Sam is trying to snatch, away their victory, and encourage China. TLe United States is cleverly put. in the position' of leading th’ other nations in what Russia „ considers meddling interference. ■ A man who understands coal and oil has a patent for burning coat underground in the mine.

I — I The sending of a transcript of | judgment on an account case of Howard R. Inebrit, against. Fred Cripe, to the county clerk’s office this week, by Simon Bell acting is justice of the peace in this ease, seems to be about to force a hearing in the case, deciding if Mr. Bell is a justice of the peace. According to news from Warsaw, the transcript will not be recorded in the county clerk’s} office until Bell’s status as .justice is decided by law. Quo warranto proceedings challenging' his right to sit as justice in this township were filed last Feb. 8. The question as to whether or not Simon Bell is to resign from office as justice of the peace .would seem to be settled | by the omission of his name from the list of Justices of the Peace, certified as correct by the Indiana Legislative Bureau. « This information was furnished the Journal by the office of 1 Leland Kinsey, clerk of the Kosciusko Circuit Court. Three justices of the peace are named for this township: Levi Kitson, Jesse Shock and Isaac Grimes, all of Syracuse. The others certified by the bureau are: James H. Wagner. Sidney; Horace Groninger, Silver Lake: leva Ferye<\La, Leesburg; Norman L Groves, Milford: Delbert Lu r ’n?-' ~s, V> v; George A. Maggart, Pierceton; C. L Tulley.
