THE SENATORIAL WALKOUT

r. GU remember the song II want what want when
it, when get it don't want it The Republicans in
the Indiana just reversed this idea Before the
election they devoted energies keep the Democrats
Of the Senate Now they using just much energy
ing to get them into the Senate.
Indiana citizens hardly be expected to look upon the
present strike of Democratic Senators and their hasy de-
parure for Ohio calamity to the State The Legs
tur of the most unnecessary sessions in There
has nothing of great Importance to do and the State
would been about well off if the statesmen who
pose Legislature had passed the appropriation bill and
adjourned
The only difficulty with the present situation is that the
appropriation bill has not been passed.

Deficit

HARLES L. BARRY, finance
t( committee chairman, at the
last school board meeting
termed the financial situation of the
Indianapolis schools serious. At the
end Of the fiscal year the treasury
will face deficit of $300,000 to
$500 900.
The State tax commission last fall
cut the school tax rate from 90
cents to 931a cents without sug-
costing how the school budget
might be trimmed to fit. This is
given as the cause OF the deficit.
Perhaps 1t is-but a scent slash
in the tax rate would only reduce
revenues about 100000 Evidently
the deficit. to attain It's prospective
girth, must also feed on other meat.
School enrolment Increases more
rapidly than facilities. The building
program falls farther and farther
behind. Yet despite these apparent
efforts to economic the school sys-
tenn fails to live within its income.
Al private individual may live be-
yond his means-and then slip out
between two days leaving his cred
itors to gnash their teeth. A school
system is not so foot-loose. 1t must
always pay here or hereafter.
Reducing the tax rates and piDng
up deficit may bring a, temporary
flush Of pleasure to the Taxpayers
cheek, but eventually he will pale
and his pocketbook will ache.
Consequently whatever the cause
the present school situation merits
the attention Of the taxpayer.

By HAL CoCHRANE


Whozis and also -Whatsezname
are folks whosve jumped to lasting
fame. Just who they are, we can
not place, but. shucks, we know
them by their face. The names APP
ply to all men whom we have met
then meet again.
New folks are introduced to you
amid the usual "how de doo." Their
looks set impression make, but
mumbled names just fail to take,
and later on the knowledge shames
that you don't know them by their
names.
It's fate that makes you meet
such friends and put you at your
own wits ends, for at the times
when names you need, you blush to
know that you are .'treed." An in
troduction's due. What luckl You
can't come through because you're
stuck.
The story's old; you simply say, In
Just the old forgetfuf way, Shake
hands with Mister--let me See
your name has slipped away from
me-" All pride seems tossed upon
the shelf your friend must intro
duce himself.
IT'S better far, when meeting men,
to stop and ask the name again,
than Just to let yourself go lame
and know new friends by Whatsez-

BY HERBERT QUICK

IN The New Republic for
Feb. Is, there is an article by
the chief Of the reclamation
service of the United States which
ought to be read by every person
who sees the decadence OF our agri-
culture and is concerned about 1t.
1t is so different from the usual
trash written by Government off,
GERS that one who did not know FL
wood Mead would wonder how 1t
came to be perpetrated.
He gives a picture Of a certain
farm neighborhood in the midwest
and how It came to be ruined. 1t
was wrecked by the ambition Of
rich people in town for country
places. They bought out the peo-
pie who had made 1t an ideal neigh
borhood. and filled the place with
their tenants and lackeys-mostly
foreigners, who are used to being
upderlings. This made the district
a place Of unhappiness for such Of
the old families as remained after
the invasion Of the city proprietors
and soon the school, the church,
the farm organizations. everything
good, were gone. Then the men who
took over these farms as playthings
passed away or lost interest, and
now It is a district of tenant farm
ers, bad farming methods. depleted
soil. poverty, bad schools and unhap-
piness. A community has died.
DIR. Mead then goes on to tell how
the remedy for the body OF this
death is under process OF being
worked out in what he calls "com-
munity farming" under the land set.
Element act Of California, especially
in the Durham colony, and how
North Carolina and South Carolina
are hopefully attacking IT, The sys-
tenn which DIR. Mead proposes for
our reclamation service is embodied
in the Kendrick bill in the Senate
and the Winter bill in the House.
Under this system the reclamation
project which cannot be put in liv-
able condition for the. settlers at a
price which they can properly pay
should not be built. If built, the set
tiers will have buildings such as
their conditions will justify. They
will have the right amount Of
ground. An economic study will be
made Of what may be expected be-
fore single settler is allowed to
come. They will not be accepted I'M
less they have the minimum amount
of money at least to carry them

CHINK GOLFER
EAGER FOR
BIC TRY
Charley Chung Saving Money
to Compete in National
Tourney
By COPELAND C. BURG

LOS ANGELES, Oct. S.-Ready to
chop onions for chop suey. sprinkle
shirts in a laundry or become
movie actor in order to bring about
his consuming desire to play in
the national amateur golf champion
ship, Charley Chung, a poor but
honest Chinese youth of twenty-five
years, has arrived in Los Angeles.
Chung has already played in two
California tournaments and sur
prised Pacific coast golfers by turn
ing in prize-winning scores. He has
also won several Journeys in Ha-
wall.
''I think 1 will make a very good
showing in the national tourney,
declared Chung, who saved his
earnings for the past three years
while clerking in a store in Homo
lulu in order to make play on Cali
fornias golf courses.
t'As soon as I have saved enough
I will compete and maybe l will
play in the big event next year"
Chinese will be playing golf in
great numbers in a few years, ac-
cording to the visitor.
when 1t comes to sports the
CnlneSe are peculiar, SAID CIlunB.
"One reason is that they are care
full to choose sports in which they
can become champions. They do
not like to play games in which
they cannot excel.
Golf is a fascinating game and
I think it will prove popular in my
own country. [ have demonstrated
that a Chinese may play a very
good game and that will give my
countrymen courage to take up
the ancient game"
Chung has seen some of the
leading Western players in action
recently.
He likes the style of Chandler
Egan, the Northwest star, but is
not so enthusiastic about the play
of youthful George Won Elm, lead
ing California golfer.
Won Eln's style is not so bad
but he stands too close to the
ball." Chung said with a serious
yisage.
Chung is a close student of the
game and has refused a number OF
offers to turn professional.
