The United States is now an in

Of the globe.
1t is true that continental United

international communications, just
as it is true that a man could exist
with his arms and legs amputated
and his eyes blind, but it would not
be the life to which he is accustomed
and which he regards as essential
to his happiness.
To deprive the United States of

destroy elements deemed essential

Exits

- inspected Tomlinson Hall dur
ing a basketball game the other
night. He found everything set for
a frst-cIass disaster.
The place was filed to capacity.
The pressure locks on some emer-
gency exits were out of repair. Some
doors were barricaded with wooden
bars. Chairs were stacked in the
corridors.
All that was lacking was fire
and the resultant panic.
City officials Immediately ordered
conditions corrected. That is well.
Indianapolis is sufficiently renowned
for street casualties without annex
ing the holocaust championship.
Emergency exits are not much
used. When they are wanted, how
ever, the demand is acute. After a
building becomes a funeral pyre 1t
is too late to repair emergency doors
frozen shut from neglect.

Retirement

E7 ONDAY he was the chief
IM executive of great State.
E1 Today he is in the courtroom
of a. country town-a plain lawyer
trying a prosaic country-town law
suit.
That's the change fortyyeight hours
brought in the life of Emmett F..
Branch. From the pomp and power
of official eminence he has descended
to the quiet routine of private life.
Before his elevation to the chair Of
authority he was a practicing at
torney. He is again just a lawyer.
The office was only an episode.
During the past week similar
dramas have been enacted in many
American States. Governors have
become private citizens, and private
citizens have become Governors.
The changes have occurred without
fuss, turmoil or disturbance.
We are so accustomed to This or
derly transfer of the reins III gov
eminent that we think nothing Of
1t. It is just a natural act to be ex-
pected in the ordinary course of
events.
But back Of that simple act Of un-
questioning acceptance of the will of
the majority is the training of a
thousand years in the art of self
government.
AS dong as our public officials re-
tire and ssuccessors take their
places in the midst OF a fusillade Of
handclapping instead Of bullets
there is no reason. to fear the

Cash Value to Bonus Is Planned

! bonus insurance the same provisions
that apply to all fully paid-up en-
dowment insurance policies issued
by private companies. Under his
plan, veteran who has received
a certificate for 81 900 Of insurance
could obtain $3.50 in full settlement
in three years, instead of waiting
twenty years for the larger amount
Senator Jones estimates that en-
actment would accomplish two de-
sirable results: I'd Give the soldiers
the bonus money when they really
need it. C2) Cut the Government
bonus bill in half.
Estimates as to the cost Of the
endowment insurance plan fix the
ultimate amount at approximately
$4,000, 900, 900. If the Jones amend
ment were adopted, and all Veterans
awaited themselves of its privileges,
the total bonus cost would be re-
duced to between $500, 100000 and
$4,000, O00, 900.
That the greater proportion of the
war veterans lost interest in the
bonus when Congress failed to pro-
vide cash and offered instead long
term insurance, is indicated by the
fact that less than one-tElird of the
men who served in The army have
applied for their certificates.
Friends Of the cash bonus say this
lack Of response is what they ez-
pected, for the soldiers needed inn
mediate financial assistance, not
promises Of tombstone insurance, -
as Senator Jones designates the
present law.

fT1 HE board Of public works con-
| Quoted hearing Monday on
81 the proposed removal of the
esplanades from N. Delaware ST.,
between Nineteenth dNTwenty.Sec
ond. Many residents of the district
protested against the plan.
The hearing was just another
skirmish in the old conflict between
private inclination and public neces-
sity.
Before the completion OF the new
Fall Greek bridge the section Of N.
Delaware st. affected by the project
was just comfortable, unhu1rying
residential street. The roadway was
sufficiently wide to accommodate the
vehicles.
Then the grass plots down the CEN
ter did not conflict with utility,
while adding greatly to the beauty
and charm of the neighborhood.
Naturally. residents still regard
them with affection.
The old street died, however, the
instant the first vehicle crossed the
Fall Creek bridge. The thorough.
fare is now q main traffic artery to
the constantly growing north side.
Eventually every inch of roadway
will be required for utilitarian pur-
poses.
Perhaps the project may be halted
temporarily by the circumstances of
residents-but they are fighting a
losing battle. Ultimately it must go
through.
The change may be regrettable,
but it is inevitable. Public need al
ways wins, in the end, over private
sentiment.

can line is worried.
Into California come principally
Chinese, Japanese and south Euro
peans. This traffic is complicated by
the fact that south of the Imperial
Valley at Mexicali big land owners
are colonizing with Chinese and
Japanese for cotton raising. There
are between seven and eight thou
sand Orientals along the Mexican
border there and many are able to
slip across and make theiz: home in
America 1t Is also complicated by
the growing Japanese fishing col
onies along the coast of Baja Califor-
MIA. u
Costs $500
The prohibition law aids the traf-
| fic, for rum smugglers find it doubly
profitable to deal in two lines OF con-
traband. A charge of $500 is usual
ly made to bring immigrants across
in autos or in boats.
Thousands of Europeans and
Orielltals are coming into Mexico
! via Tampico and Vera Cruz" said
d. s. Kuykendall, district director
OF immigration service here. Many,
of course, settle in Mexico, but many
are being struggled across the line
into America. The big leak was for
merly at San Antonio, but now the
bigger leaks are at Laredo and here.
ION the Canadian line there is a
reciprocal agreement allowing us to
inspect and enforce our law at Cana
dian ports. Here there is no such
agreement, and we are compelled to
stop the traffic along the long frontier
Ia difficult task.
"Since the new immigration law
went into effect our problem is more
with Europeans than with Orientals.

Near East immigrants are not so well
organized as the Orientals, but they
are more numerous.

senada bringing between thirty and
forty immigrants every month and
nearly all get over the line in fish,
ing boats. A month ago the Coast
