To the Editor Of The Hines
Your editorial commentator OF the

movement was one which meets COM

years maintained an organization OF
this kind at Branch Library No. I.
A free lecture course for the benefit

Of Clubs of North Indianapolis.
Speakers of ability from down IN
the city" and elsewhere, represent.
ing almost every shade Of religious
and political opinions, delivered adj
dresses fortnightly. Each address
was limited to forty-five minutes. Five
minutes were then given each person
in which to ask questions or commenti
upon the points Of the address. The
speaker had ten minutes in which to
close. The addresses were on themes
of current public interest
The HberaiZing and soc1alizing eff
fects upon the community were ap-
parent. Although among those who
kindly donated their services and ad-
dressed the people were pastors Of
several of the strongest churches
Gown in the city" This free lecture
course was put out of business by
religious bigotry.
No class Of property IS less used
according to its value than school
buildings. These should be available
for community centers. The per-
petuity of free institutions rests upon
the intelligence and patriotism Of
voters. It is to be hoped that the resi-
dents Of E. Thirt1eth ST. viii be able
to continue to maintain their CONF
nunity center.

The movement for pension funds for
retired ministers is picking UP ground
In the United States.
The great majority of clergymen ex-
ist on salaries that often are only
slightly more than that of the church
sections. Their opportunities for ac-
quirement OF wealth outside their call
ing are limited, II not discouraged.
1t is encouraging to note that the
churches have turned to this side OF
the business of religion.

Americans have at least 100000
laws to obey. An expert makes this
estimate. He is too conservative. The
last Congress passed $50 new laws.
And the various State Legislatures
pass about $4,000 laws a year.
We are too interested in enacting
new laws, not enough attention to
enforcing laws we already have. Easy
to understand. We have a national
mania for believing that all we have
to do to solve a problem is to get a
legislative body to rule against IT.
Pass law agtn it." IS a hypnotic
formula by which we dodge issues
rather than in statutes.
