matter of much discussion. In the
United States, the consensus of opin-
ion is strongly against it's being mo-
nopolized, while in England, broadcast
ing is conducted by a monopoly auth
orized by the government. Each of
the two systems has many desirable
features that the other lacks, though
each is far from being ideal.
The French apparently prefer the
American system. In a recent re-
union in Paris, of over 1,400 presidents
of various chambers of commerce,
strong protest was made to the French
government against any sort Of a
monopoly in the radio industry. The
government was also asked to support
the industry by legislation and taxa

Germany Builds Super-Power Station
The Radio Corporation of America
has been promising to give American
listeners some of the German radio
programs by a chain of American sta

Probably the most powerful broad

being built at Berzoghstand, Bavaria.

The Potato Crop

All dry land potatoes suffered from
August drought and in some eases ir-
rigated fields due to water shortage
went on dry land basis. Rains since
the first of September will tend to i'm
prove the outlook except in cases
where fields were too far gone. The
general outlook is for crop about
100000 bushels larger than last year,
about 100000 bushels smaller than
the Swear (l920-1924) average. The
general condition of the crop is very
spotted, with many fields in the COM
mercial areas rated fair to good. The
national outlook for potato growers
is the most encouraging in recent
years, The September forecast show

The success with which amateur ra-
dio provided the communication be-
tween the last Macmillan polar expedi-
ton and the rest of the world, has
prompted much more thorough and ex-
tensive tests on the present expedi-
ton. The U. s. Navy is participating
IN this expedition and is furnishing
airplanes which are radio-equipped.
The Jaunt is to be comparatively
short one, consisting of dash to the
polar regions and q return before the
winter sets in. As the explorers will
by in the region of continuous day
light the short wave radio viii be put
to severe test.
The Navy has required the expedi-
ton to be equipped with the necessary
long wave apparatus which win be used
in case the shorter waves should fail.
This matches the long and short radio
waves squarely against each other in
the strongest sort of practical test,
and the outcome win go a long way
towards establishing the future status
of short wave transmission.
1t. John L. Reinartz, who is ac-
eonpanying the expedition, is in
charge Of the short wave apparatus. He
expects to maintain regular communi-
cation with the rest Of the world, by
means Of short wave transmission with
the amateur operators. The principal
waves to be used are in the 1870, so, 40
and 20 meter wavelength bands. This
exact wavelengths used will be de.
terinined by experiment as soon as
the expedition reaches the polar re
gions. If everything works out well
an attempt will be made to transmit
by radiophone.

CHANGE OF VENUE
OVERW0RKED

JUDGE JAMES A. coll
Inns, in granting change
LIZ of venue in the Stephenson
case Saturday, condemned the law
by which trials are so easily
transferred. He believes the prac-
tice is unfair to judges in adjoin-
ing counties.
1.-THE change of venue law is
worked overtime in Indiana" he
asserted. indianapolis is one Of
the few large cities where the
presiding judge of the Criminal
Court in sworn off the bench in
important criminal cases."
OF course to insure to every de-
PENDANT impartial trial there must
be some provision to escape a pre-
JUDGED or hostile public opinion
lbubbling at fever heat. But in
indianapolis the change Of venue is
invoked not as last resort to
prevent injustice. but as an
ordinary legal stratagem.
AS a result Marion County.s
criminal business has stopped
over and clogs the courts of all
adjoining counties.
Five important murder cases
from this county are pending in
other counties and Marion's
prosecuting attorney must lope
from court to court like an itin-
Grant circuit rider. All at added
expense to the taxpayer.
Perhaps in some of these cases
there are grounds justifying trans
fer. In most of them however
the defendants probably will not
secure fairer. more impartial
trials, in consequence. Very
seldom is public passion so in
famed over a crime as to preclude
fair trial.
Frequently lofty sentiments are
uttered by bar associations on re-
forms of judicial proceedure-but
nothing is done. Lawyers them
selves oppose reforms.
Collectively they favor abstract
justice. But the individual criminal
lawyer is out to win his clients
case, not to expedite administration
of justice. Consequently he takes
advantage OF every technicality
and the change of venue is
worked to death.

The park board spends many thou

is not right, and it is small wonder
that the people want a change in

Proper coming of the city will re-

the frequent changes, which now
seem so prevalent, will destroy the

Gated and opened to traffic by

Since then the north side has

the bridge. There buses and autos
have leaped from one rugged peak
to another-like the agile channels
or wallowed from quargmire to
sinkhole. depending on the state
of the weather. because the ap-
proaches were not constructed.
Apparently 1t did not occur to
municipal authorities that a bridge
without approaches is an empty
artistic and engineering triumph.
Such forgetfulness is character
istic of much street and highway
construction. Bridge and road
building never proceed hand in
hand. One is always several jumps
ahead Of the other.
Detours on a dozen State roads
are necessary because Of dilatory
bridge projects. Months ago pave
ment on the Michigan road be-
tween Indianapolis and Shelby
vile was completed. Still a jolt
ing detour of eleven miles is
necessary while two bridges are
being constructed.
Millions may be spent in sur
facing thoroughfares and other
millions in constructing bridges.
What's the use of all the expendi-
ture unless paving the bridge prof.
ects coincide? A road is only as
GOOD as it's detours-and a bridge
no better than its approaches.

no the Editor of The Times:
WISH to voice protest
against the indiscriminate
changes made by our plan

I The fundamental purpose of this
commission is to zone the city so
that the beauty and value of ones

trict is not deprecated by the cree
ton Of some Objectionable building

buys home or piece Of property
In a choice residential district that
Is zoned for residence only, and
along comes one of the oil compa-
MES and buys the choicest corner

districts to erect a filing station. 1t
seems that all that is required is for
them to apply for a permit from
bither the park board or planning

granted without regard to the need

alton of all surrounding property. to
say nothing of the fire hazard they
represent.
A trip over our city will disclose
filing stations on so many Of the
choice corners, oftentimes three of
them on the corners of the same
street. The oil companies seem to
think this necessary on account of
competition, but it certainly is not
necessary for public convenience,
and they certainly do not add to the
attractiveness of our city but
cheaper instead the appearance of
neighborhoods, especially boulevards.
In these days of improved alleys,
1t strikes me that the proper place
for filing station should be in one
OF these alleys andthus not destroy
