PRAISES memory
OF SILENT VETERANS

Eulogizing the memory of the heros
of American wars, Paul Comstock, vet
eran of the Spanish-American war and
of the World War, addressed chapel
in the senior high school Monday
morning.
Where l have seen the graves on
the sunny Cuban hills and in the fields
of France have said to myself: Here
lies the seed of Americanism' When
the American army takes the field it
goes not for the purpose Of filling the
country's Golfers; nor for conquest,
but at the request Of the people. 1t
has never gone except for human free
dom and right.
Our soldiers have died for civiliza-
ton itself, because without freedom
there is no civilization. Heaven grant
that the contributions of your genera
ton will not have to be made upon the
altar of war, but the time is sure to
come when you will be called upon for
sacrifices for your country"
Prof Maddy led the school in the
singing of patriotic hymns. The high
school orchestra played several num-
bers.

Claims Small Competition
The Indiana penologist says that the
competition prison labor offers to free
labor is insignificant. why make
mountains of mole hills and gag at
gnats?" he asks. He points to the
fact that the population of the United
States is 100000, while the penal
institutions of the country have a COM
bined population of app roximately
$4,000, or one convict for every 1000
Inhabitants. Indiana, with a popula-
ton of 100000, has about 2,400 in
mates in its two penal institutions.
Fogartv says that less than half Of
the Indiana convicts are employed at
productive labor, meaning the manu-
facture of articles of commerce.

How the Government Nav Help

Of the important questions before congress
for settlement and adjustment, none has great
er bearing on the welfare of the individual citizen
of the United States than that of taxation on
incomes.
Trade and industry are finding it difficult to
make progress and thousands Of workers are out
of employment because the country is saddled
with an income taxation system that discourages
instead of stimulates initiative.
Here is how the system does its share in
driving away optimism and checking resump-
ton of industrial activity. The incomes which
some men derive from business or investment
normally were re-nvested in new enterprises, in
new buildings in industrial ventures, in rail-
roads, in mortgages, and countless other prof.
ects The re-investment of these incomes either
kept men at work or created new jobs.
Under the present system, the government
takes away the greater part of this profit in the
form of an income tax. What is the result :?
Money that ordinarily went into the forms of
investment mentioned in the foregoing para
graph which gave employment to workers, now
goes to the government; or the men who received
this income now invest it in tax-free securities,
which keeps it from going to the government
and also precludes its use for projects that would
give employment to labor.
If congress wants to hasten the day of pros
perity in all lines Of activity, it can do so by
amending the income tax laws so that initiative
and enterprise will not be penalized but given an
opportunity for expansion. The whole country
will benefit immensely. Money which is
diverted into other channels will flow back into
constructive projects that give employment to
workers. The present system doesn't help any,

Business is Picking Up

From Detroit, center of the automobile in
dustry in the United States, comes the cheering
news that its automobile plants will begin work
ing at maximum capacity next week. AS the
manufacturing of automobiles constitutes one of
the largest industries in the United States, the
resumption of 100 per cent production in Detroit
will be stimulus to all forms Of business
Reports from retail dealers and manufacture
ers of automobiles in Richmond indicate that
business in that line picked up in marked man
ner in the last month.
The automobile industry never lost faith in
itself and in the ultimate resumption of prosper
ity in the United States. Automobile manufac-
turers and dealers have been optimistic all along
and have invariably held to the theory that the
period Of deflation would presently give way to
one of genuine prosperity.
Hardest hit last year by the process of della
ton, the automobile industry was face to face
with critical situation, but despair did not fill
the hearts of the men who were engaged in that
industry. They asserted that the lull in business
was temporary and soon would give way to a
brisk demand for cars. Their faith has been
vindicated this year. The resumption of the
plants in Detroit is the conclusive proof that
prosperity has returned to that industry.
With automobile plants running at capacity,
there will come increased demands for the raw
materials that enter into construction of cars;
sales organizations will feel new stimulus;
other forms of business that are directly and
indirectly related to the industry will be quick
ened into new life.
Thousands of men who have been out of en-
ployment or only partly employed, will again be
drawing wages. Their purchasing power will
assert itself in demand for commodities; and
so the whole labor and business world will be
energized into new activity.
If thousands of men and women could be-
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-03-31

come possessed of the optimistic attitude which
the automobile manufacturers and dealers held
during the slump in their business, revival in
other lines would follow quickly.
We need to become thoroughly convinced of
the soundness of conditions in America We
must forget the past and its worries, and with
optimistic minds do the work of today and plan
for the greater work of tomorrow. No man ever
succeeded who had faith in himself and his
work No collection of men will prosper if they
do not believe in the ability of their country to
overcome obstacles and conquer temporary
handicaps.
