The decisions Of the Zoning Com
mission are of vital interest to the
realtor, merchant and resident of the
decisions rest, to great extent, the
development of Washington, both
from a commercial and architectural
aspect.
At least one member of the Zoning
Commission expresses himself as be-

their real estate of all types is pro-

A member of the commission has
expressed his views of the needs

part:
''Zoning is a conscious, intelligent
effort to direct the building of a city
in accord with well considered plan.

place for everything and tries to

The Atlantic City Planning Com

coming the individual owner is pow

the value of his property. Only by

application of the golden rule.

Property Must Be Protected

This sort Of thing harks back to the reign
of terror which existed in Indianapolis
eral years ago when buildings were bombed
and property was destroyed by a small
number of men who believed in direct
action. Every one who lived in indianapolis
then remembers the morning when the city
awoke to find that three buildings had been
bombed almost simultaneously.
Authorities should overlook no precau-
ton to prevent further destruction of
property and further interference with
peaceable workmen who are earning their
living. No effort should be spared in speedily
apprehending the guilty persons.
Labor unions should cooperate in clean
ing their own houses.
Chief Rikhoff says "we know practically
where the blame can be laid" He and the
police department and the prosecutors
Office should act with all the resources at
their command to fix this blame They
should lose no time about doing it.
Destruction of private property must not
be tolerated for a moment. Every work
man has the right to expect and demand
that he be allowed to earn his living in
safety. Every property owner has the right
to expect and demand that his property
be protected.
The first duty of any government is to
safeguard life and property.

Three days have passed since vandais
broke into the new Elks Building and de-
stroyed metal doors and frames worth
$4,000.
The authorities have not acted.
A number of things have happened since
that act of vandalism which makes the ap-
prehension and punishment of persons
sponsible for the crime imperative.
A second attempt has been made to break
into the Elks Building.
Police protection has been asked and
given at the new Manual Training High
School Building and at the new World War
Memorial Building because of threats of
trouble at those places.
Chief of Police Herman F. Rikhoff has
stated that "we know practically where the
blame can be laid" He has referred to the
occurrence as "the most dastardly piece of
work pulled in indianapolis in years"
But no arrests have been made.
Destruction of property at the Elks Build
ing was not the first act of this kind in
indianapolis during recent weeks, but it was
the most serious.
The trouble is due undoubtedly to a small
element of direct actionists" who believe
they can gain their ends through the destruc-
ton of property. They are bringing blame
and criticism on the great army of organ
ized labor which believes in peaceable set
tlement of disputes.
