INDIANAPOLIS isn't peopled
1 exclusively by authors. It
- also contains an occasional
reader.
For the public library statistics.
recently compiled, show that 1852
551 books were circulated during the
past year. And that's a lot Of books.
But the most interesting fact dis
closed by the figures is that more
than 40 per cent of the books drawn
out were of the non-f1ction class.
And there is a steady increase in the
borrowing of this class.
Which indicates that the library
is more and more serving its pur-
pose-as a place where people of all
ages, classes and diversity of inter
ests may go for recreation, reference
or serious study.
The public library is a free uni
versity at the elbow of every man.
He can use it or leave it alone, as
he chooses.
The people of Indianapolis choose
to use it-for they drew out more
than a million and a half books last
year.
Yet, despite this impressive num-
Der, the circulation was only an
average of four books to each per-
son in the city.
We are readers-but not book
worms. Not on four books year.

For La Toilette

BY FRANK 2. WALSH
Famous Labor Lawyer and Former
Joint Chairman, War Labor Board.
Robert M La Toilette is in
my opinion the greatest living
American statesman.
This judgment is based not
only on his splendid abilities
and the great fundamental
principles for which ne stands,
but also on his achievements
in the interests Of the people.
I would rather have the great
force of Senator La Toilette be-
hind any measure in which l
was interested than that of any
other man in Congress. 1 say
this not only because he is one
of the few men in the Senate
who can be absolutely trusted,
but also because he is today
the outstanding figure in that
great deiberative body.

Struck Down Law

In the recent cases Of Hammer
against Dangehart. the Supreme
Court, by a bare majority of one.
struck down one Of the best laws
ever enacted by Congress, which is
commonly referred to as the child
labor law. BY this act Congress
sought to prevent employment Of
children in factories and mills under
unhealthy and improper conditions
by excluding from interstate COM
merce products Of such labor
The opinion Of Mr.. Justice Holmes
in that case. in which Justices Nc
Kenna, Brandeis and Clarke CON
Cured demonstrates beyond the
possibility Of a doubt that the law
was plainly constitutional. and that
1t was beyond any legitimate func-
ton Of the court to invalidate it.
The Congress shortly thereafter
passed another law on the subject
Of child labor to meet the objection
of the court and this law was also
nullified by a divided court.
The wealthy mill and factory
owners employing child labor under
the shameful conditions shown to
exist have along profited as a result
of this judicial legislation, while
the will Of Congress and of the
people has been defeated and count
less thousands of children have as
a result Of the courts action been
condemned to unwholesome labor,
which has stunned their bodies,
dwarfed their minds and made many
Of them public charges.
These are only a very few Of the
cases wherein during the last few
years the court, by usurping legisla-
tive power, has nullified acts Of
Congress.

1--WE the Federal Courts, par
G ticularly the Supreme Court,
have declared unconstitutional or
otherwise nulIified the most i'm
portant legislation enacted by the
law making branch Of the Govern
ment.
For instance. in August, 1894, Con
gress passed an act which provided
in substance for an income tax on
net incomes above $4,000. Such a
tax had previously been upheld by
the court. When it came before
the supreme Court under the act Of
1894, the principal features Of the
law We're again held valid by the
Supreme Court. though by a ma
jCrity of one vote On a re-argunent
Of the case one Of the Justices
changed his vote though neither he
nor any one else has ever given any
explanation of the change, and the
whole law was declared null and

Federal Constitution. That the de
cision was based on the economic
view Of the judges composing the
majority Of the court was plainly
apparent from both the majority and

7ASHINGTON, Sept 27.-That
lWI well-known ditty, You Didn't
Want Me When You Had Me;
Why Do You Want Me Now?"
might well be adopted as the Off
cial anthem of the so-called "Goltra
fleet" on the Mississippi River.
The Government built the fleet at
a cost of more than $4,000 000-then
turned it over to Edward F. Goltra.
st. Louis iron manufacturer, and for
mer Democratic national committee
man, for nothing.
Now the government is fighting to
get it back.
Through its Inland Waterways
Corporation, the Government has Of
fered Goltra $4,000 a month rental
for use of the craft until the legal
controversy is settled.

Gen. r. Q. Ashburn, Waterways
Corporation chairman, declares Col.
ira has refused this offer and has
asked the equivalent or 50 900 600 for
the return of the boats and barges
he got free Of charge.
Meantime, according to Ashburn,
tons of freight are piling up on the
ST. Louis levee; the Government
can't use its fleet to haul them
away, and Goltra won't.
The fleet consists of nineteen
barges and four towboats. Goltra
bases his claim to it on a contract
signed by Newton p. Baker, as Sec.
retarY of War-a document which
has been subject to a storm of criti-
cism.
Under terms Of the contract Col
ira obtained use of the fleet for 1--WE

When this contract was made pub

was to be used on the upper Missis-
sippi, between St. Louis and St
Paul. 1t was later discovered. how
ever. that Goltra was soliciting
freight trade on the lower river.

At this point Goltra tied up his

Since then battle for the fleet has
been waged in various courts. Su-

but later n point Of jurisdiction was
decided in Goltra's favor and the
boats returned to him.

Automobiles

@ HERE were 509.969 pleasure
type automobiles registered
- in Indiana up to June 80. &C
cording TO II. D. McClelland, man
ager of the State automobile license
department.
That's a gain Of approximately 90
per cent over the corresponding
period in 1923.
The country may be going to ever
lasting perdition. as the pessimists
declare. But 1t isn't galloping in
that direction. It is riding smoothly,
on rubber tires, leaving a heavy reek
of gasoline and dismembered pedes-
TRANS in its wake.
At least in Indiana.
Complaints are voiced Of hard
times. poor crops. and industrial
stagnation. All Of which may be the
literal truth.
But some have money or faith in
their ability to grapple with the
monthly payment plan. For the to-
tai value Of the motor vehicles reg
istered to June 80 is a tidy sum. Not
the pocket change Of a bankrupt.
The increase in registration sim
ply indicates that a car is now
recognized as a family necessity,
and, like taxes, is above economic
depression.
Yes. there are 5o9,969 automobiles
in Indiana.
And every evening they all try to
cross the Meridian and Washington
st. intersection simultaneously.
