"Two WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT"

KY7HILE not denying that an injustice has been done, Post
w master General New has stated his opposition to the effort
TO right the wrong dealt out to George E. Taylor, aged former
postal clerk of Richmond, Va, who was deprived of his position
for ten years as the result of a false charge of theft.
News position is, briefly, that an appropriation to cOmpen-
safe old man Taylor would "set a bad precedent" and overwhelm
the Government with similar claims from many other Federal
employees who have suffered injustice.
If these victims of Government red tape, Government indif-
ference and Government neglect have just claims against the
Government they should be paid-every last one of them
whether they number one or a million.
But Mr.. New of Indiana thinks that ''two wrongs make a
right

I should like to say to James Knox

what he reads, then accept It as truth,
for the redemption Of nan through

IT outright as an infidei. One can't

CENTRALIZING SCHOOLS

T1HERE are many indications that the agitation for the county
l unit system of operating public schools outside of cities will
continue and result in a bill in the next Legislature.
Opposition appeared to be to a large extent on political grounds
due to the fact that some of the power would be taken from more
than a thousand township trustees.
Capitalization, when a large unit such as a State is included,
in many cases is not to be desired, but Capitalization of govern
ment in county units undoubtedly would lead to more efficiency,
particularly when it pertains to schools
Townships were created in Indiana more than a century ago,
cult. Small government units were necessary. We have retained
these small units, while In other respects we have progressed.
Centralized school administration would make possible en-
ployment of a trained superintendent Of schools to supervise all
the schools in a county; it would make possible the better super
vision of teachers; a more uniform teaching program, and opera
ton at a lower cost.
The State eventually will come to this system.

Be careful about voting. Unless you

your vote many not count for much,
indeed it may not be counted at all.
There are two ballots for you to be
particular about. The blue ballot has
the Presidential ticket; the white bal
lot carries the candidates for Cover

for the average voter is to get sam

and take it into the booth with him.
