s.If the American public buys
automobiles III preference to other
lines of goods, II IL simply because
the people feel that they set more
for their money, from g. standpoint
OF utility and personal enjoyment.
zone reason for big automobile
sales can be found In q comparison
Of present day prices Of auto
mobiles with those obtaining prior
to the war. Not only Is the auto
mobile buyers dollar of today
worth &C least is per cent more
than In 1913. but the automobile
which Il buys is Tar ahead 0f It's
pre-war predecessor On the other
hand the dollar spent for most com.
modities today has only about so
per cent 81 the buying-power it
had before the ructien with Ger

Big Buying Power
I'm other words, the dollar spent
for an automobile has almost
double the buying power Of the
dollar spent for most other things.
The farsighted policy Of automobile
manufacturers IN promptly getting
back to better than pre-WAr prices,
and the manufacturing kand n1er-
chandising genius that made thesd
prices possible, should not be lost
sight Of.
s.It is reported that bankers find
cause FOR complaint III the growth
OF the habit Of buying automobiles
on time and profess to fofesee the
day when the. public VIII find III
self unable to take care of all its
time obligations for automobile plirs
chases.
e think they lose sight Of the
fact that the greatest element of
safety lies in -the desirabilIty Of
purchaser from standpoint Of
utility, enjoyment and good health.
IT Is the last thing. he win he

:.One writer says, 'Of course,
this Ryraniding of time payments
cannot 70 on forever. Apparently
he ignores the fact that time pay
ments are usually held to period
of twelve months, therefore, these
obligations are constantly being
discharged, in which case, It Is
hard to see how there could be
very much pyraEniding.

~ HE problem Of child labor as

The question to be answered Is not
whether parents shall permit their
children to perform a reasonable

Until we isolate this question from
the slush and bunk with which poll

Income Tax

The term earned income" in
computing which the taxpayer is al
lowed on all net income up to SIS, 900
and not exceeding $4,000 credit,
of 25 per cent Of the amount Of tax,
is defined by income tax regulations
as wages, salaries, professional fees
and other amounts received for per-
sonal services actually rendered. .
However, there are thousands OF
cases Of taxpayers engaged in a
trade or business in which both per-
sonal service and capital are ma
terial income producing factors. In
such cases 1t is provided that ga
reasonable allowance in compensa-
ton for personal services shall be
considered as earned income 1t is
further provided that the total
amount treated as earned income
from a trade or business shall not
exceed 20 per cent of the taxpay-
er's share of the net profits of such
trade or business. A reasonable al
lowance for personal services" in
general is interpreted by regulations
to mean "only such amount as would
ordinarily be paid for like services,
by like enterprises in like circum-
stances"
The revenue act of 1924 provides
for earned income deductions. .
This means deductions which are
properly allowable TO or chargeable
against earned income and which are
allowable from gross income in COM
putting net income Notable among
such deductions are business ex-
penses. Frequently !. taxpayers re-
ceiving a salary may be compelled
to use a portion in payment OF
transportation, advertising or for
samples. Such items, which are
necessary expenses in the conduct of
a business, are properly chargeable
against earned income. The term
earned net income" on which the
credit is computed, means the ex-
cess Of the amount Of the earned in.

income Deductions Thus, man
who in 1924 received salary of

which, Of course. should be deducted

CHILD LABOR
AN EDITORIAL

children, lest 1t become too CEN
tralized.
We have long since crossed the
rubicon Of Federal regulation. What
we are to decide with regard to the
child labor amendment is whether
we prefer still more regulation.
AS compared to prohibition and
the acknowledgements of women, child
labor carries far stronger
humanitarian appeal.
incidentally, it is probably Of
greater economic and social i'm
portance.
The silly rot about what this
amendment portends for the poor
farmer, or the widow with twenty
nine orphans to support, is only one
of those dust storms which any dis
cussion raises In this land Of free
bunk
1t is industry that has precipitated
the rgument--industry as rep
resented by the big mill, as made
possible by the concentration Of
wealth, as developed by the giant
machine.
Nobody has in mind the milking
of cows, or the bringing in of
kindling wood, or the hoeing Of a
little corn now and then; that is, no
body but the politician who wishes
10 fool and hefuddle his audiencs.
Child labor. as 1t is commonly un-
derstood, as 1t has come to challenge
the decent instincts OF this country,
is measured, not by chores on the
farm, but by the gruelling task
master Of modern machinery, by
thin-chested little girls at looms, by
stunted boys carrying bales, worked
long hours, not because Of necessity,
but because their services are for
sale cheaper.

RIGHT HERE
IN INDIANA
University
By GAYLORD NELSON

TW7 A. ALEXANDER, librarian
IIWI OF Indiana University, de-
I-1s clares that schools library
is almost hopelessly inferior to those
Of other State universities in the
north central group. The library
contains 10000 volumes, scarcely
enough for one bookworrn.
Other figures. just published, dis
close that the income of Indiana's
State universities is slightly more
than half the average received by
State universities In the north CEN
trail group.
The Bloomington institution must
be in desperate plight. 1t appears
to be clothed in tatters, and starv-
ing-according to reports. One may
expect the sheriff will soon take ths
shabby creature to the poorhouse,
and sell the. plant to pay the gro
Gerry bill.
There is only one ray of sunshine.
The State recently built a $75, 900
home for the university president.
In that, at least, Indiana holds its
own with other State universities.
Probably in size, income, and
buildings the institution is inferior
to neighboring State schools. Is the
quality OF instruction also inferior?
The propagandists for bigger appro-
priations don't say.
Indiana University is for the needs
Of this State. Maintenance on that
basis will satisfy average taxpayers.
They aren't interested in winning
the championship of the north cen
trail group.

II K KNAPP of Hagerstown has

hibit the sale Of obscene, suggestive,
and indecent publications.
BY all means we should have such

Magazines are death.dealing con-
trivances and traffic in them should
be regulated. Besides the $5 license
fee, proposed, would permit the en-
ployment of inspectors who other
wise might have to work.

cations without which the world
would be lovelier. But they don't

hibited they would circulate clandes.
timely as long as perverted tastes
made the enterprise profitable.
The magazine .bootlegger might
lead his prospective client up an
alley and whisper huskily in his ear:
Il have a few copies Of Juicy
Stories in the original packages. .
The client would avidly snap up the
bargain-and public morals would
continue to get its jolt.
Like perpetual motion, regulating
public morals by censorship, in one
form or another. is fascinating
pursuit. 1t is never successful for
defective morals must be cured from
the inside out, rot from the outside
in.

Plan

nm HE city plan commission sub
mitted to the council Monday
- night plans for street i'm.
provements to meet present and
future needs. The proposals result
from more than years study of the
problem.
City taxpayers would die sudden
and violent deaths IL all the projects
should be started Immediately. The
scheme, however, is for systematic
development in fifty years.
Nineteen seventy-fve is a long dis.
tance in the future. It seems so far
down the years as not to be worth
worrying about.
Nevertheless a prolific source of
waste in municipal improvements in
this country has been failure to con.
slider the future. In consequence
projects have been developed with
out relation to others, or future ex.
pansion. Frequently they become
outgrown before completion and long
before the bond issue ceases to
smart.
Indianapolis today is paying the
penalty for lack of vision a half
century ago. Only strict hewing to
a, comprehensive plan viii save the
city more costly inconvenience
fifty years hence.
The program outlined may seem
grandiose, and some details may be
opposed. but Indianapolis Is going to
be big city.
Present Inhabitants should pre-
pare to meet that fact face to face
instead Of waiting for it to surprise
them.
