THE BUDGET AS AN ISSUE

! under the McCray and Branch administrations is becom-
ing a real issue in the campaign. The Democrats, who opened
their drive in forty-one counties last night carried the issue to
the Republicans. 1t is now their move.
The G. o. P. may be compelled to leave off asking of voters
merely care you a citizen of the Invisible Empire?'' and get
down to facts about the State government.
When he was inaugurated Governor McCray told the peo-
pie of Indiana that he expected to conduct the affairs of the
State in the same manner in which he conducted his own per-
sonal business. Then he proceeded to carry out his promise.
A budget law was enacted and then the Legislature at the
insistance of McCray provided that money could be transferred
from one fund TO another, making the budget in fact a joke.
A State employe made a remark to this effect recently, where
upon Governor Branch issued a long statement answering him
and defending the present practices in the S%tatehouse.
We believe everyone is for a budget law. Certainly the
Democrats are for such a law. That is why they are opposing
the action of the administration in making the law meaningless.

AERIAL CIRCUS

EWBANK, 706 N. West
St, had his peaceful repose
- snatched right u Of his
hand the other night.
A five pound aerial bomb crashed
through his roof and his slumbers.
Three illuminated planes were do
ing fip-flops and Cart-wheels, over
the downtown district, to advertise
the international air aces to be held
Dayton. The bomb was a
memento dropped from one OF them.
It's thrilling to gaze skyward. with
wide open mouth, and see some
aviator take liberties with the law
of gravity. But if an aviator should
drop a monkey wrench, a wing, or
some other unconsidered trifle down
on the exposed epiglottis of an en-
thralled spectator, it wouldn't be 50
thrilling. For that spectator.
Even a remark, dropped from a
sufficient altitude, might be dew
astating in the closely packed
streets below.
OF course it is perfectly safe to
fly planes over the cOngested dis
trict of the city-as long as they
fly.
But the law of gravity can't
always be ignored.
And, permitting planes to stunt
over the heart Of the city, is a
Greet invitation for the law of
gravity and the undertaken to arrive
on the scene arm In arm.

Safety JWays
By HAL COCHRAN

The common shout Of nowadays is
always Safety first. You'll hear the
cry no matter where you go. It's
just a short expression that has
duly been rehearsed, and it's 4
that everybody ought to know.
When little folks start off to school
they'll hear their mother say: Now
watch your step when crossing Ger
the street. Play safety as to autos
cause they take the r~ight-of-way,
and it's UP to you TO be the ~ dis
Greet"
And then you'll find at crossings,
where the railroad trains whiz by.
a warning that you ought to under
stand. It's Safety First" that greets
you. where it's sure to catch the aye
It tells you Of the danger near at
hand.
The Safety First idea is a good
one. I'll admit, but its weak when
figured right down to the letter. It
seems 'tcould be much stronger and
tcould make a bigger hit. Don't o
think that Safety ALWAYS would
be better?

THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE

n UGH as we are opposed to high taxes, we believe that
llNlI the State tax board is starting at the wrong end when
it suggests the possibility of a 2cent cut in the tax rate for
next year. ]. is bad business.
Taxes can not be reduced by simply cutting rates arbi-
trarily. This merely leads to more borrowing and consequently
higher taxes later on. For surely the State must pay its debts
some time.
There is only one way to cut taxes and that is to reduce
expenditures. If expenditures are cut taxes will automatically
come down. But as long as money is spent IL will be raised.
IF the tax rate is cut and the money still is being spent, the
State will rush to the banks and borrow the necessary cash.
And the cash will be forthcoming as long as the State agrees to
pay sufficient interest. The banks know the taxpayers are
good for it.

Heretofore the famous explorers
homecomings were a surprise to

Now. thanks to radio, the peo-

keeping in daily touch with him
through special apparatus set up
by the American Radio Relay
League at the dock where he is ex-

Even while MaMclilan was ice
bound in the Arctic his people
back home got occasional glints

PROTECT ALL INDUSTRY

Leader Declares Free Trade Has
All But Ruined India
PeaSantry

BOMBAY. July 19-The proposal TO
pace d tariff upon certain steel and
steel products imported into India
afforded Gandhi an opportunity. as he
says editorially in his organ, Young
India. of dispeIIing the illusion that
] am Inlmlcal to capital. and that L
would restroy machinery and its pro-
ducts if 1 had the power"
Il am a confirmed protectionist."
he added. Free trade may be good
for England, who dumps down her
manufactures among helpless people
and wishes her wants to be supplied
from outside at the cheapest rate
But free trade has ruined India :
peasantry in that it has all but de-
stroyed her cottage industry. Moreover,
no new trade can compete with foreign
trade without protection. Natal nursed
her sugar industry by both bounty and
import duty. Germany developed beet
sugar by d system OF bounties. l would
any day welcome protection for mill in
dustry, although l give and would al
ways give preference to handspun
khadder. Indeed, l would give protec-
ton to all useful industries. Much of
my opposition to the government would
abate if l found that it was truly So
licitous for India's economic and moral
welfare. Let the government protect
the cloth industry to the point of pro-
hibition of all foreign cloth, let it pop
ularize the charka by making all it's
purchases Of cloth in khadder, let it
abolish without regard to revenue the
drink and the drug traffic, and cut
down the army expenditure to the ex-
tent of the loss of that revenue. When
such happy event takes place, my op-
position will lose it's point. 1t will pave
the way for a real discussion Of re-
forms. To me the two steps will be
striking sign of change of heart. which
