City Must Act Now!

TTlHE effort being made to delay the city
manager referendum until next year or
until some indefinite date in the future is. an
effort to prevent Indianapolis from changing
it's form Of government. The movement for
delay is coming only from politicians whose
political lives would be saved by defeat of the
manager plan.
1t is significant that not one person who
has pledged himself to support the manager
movement has even suggested delay.
The time is ripe RIGHT NOW for a change
to business government in Indianapolis. A
year from now a new group Of politicians will
be occupying the city hall and will be working
20 retain their jobs.
There is no feeling that the primary
should not be called off to make room for the
manager referendum except among politicians
who have something to gain from the primary.
It is unfortunate that these polit' clans al
ready have spent large sums of none on their
primary campaigns, but the future Of milan
apolis is far more important than the feelings
or even the purse of politician
The city manager law is fundamentally
sound, despite the political smoke screen that
is being thrown up in all directions to fool the
voters into thinking there is something terrible
the matter with it. ~
The manager law is sufficient for Indian
apols to make a good beginning in reorganz-
ing its form Of government. 1t does not give
those who will manage the affairs of the city
under the manager plan any more power than
that now exercised by politicians.
The time to act is Now If the present
opportunity is not seized, hope for success in
the future is slight.

years is remarkable. Almost every
university is packed to capacity
with many t'clamoring for admis-
sion.
The college graduate used to be
a rare bird. In many villages peo-
pie almost doubted the existence
of such an animal-they never saw
one. To most youths anything
beyond common school was an iri-
descent dream.
Now, however, with youth, go
ing to college is a matter Of course.
Everybody is doing 1t.
What does 1t all mean? What
will be the result Of this flood Of
higher education?
Certainly all graduates turned
out with collegiate degrees in the
next few years can't engage In so
Gale learned professions-or live
on their sheepskins. Some will
have to be rank and file.
But as the intellectual horizon
OF the rank and file broadens, social
and economic standards improve.
So in no case is a college education
dead loss to its possessor or to
society.

accounts is now becoming clear. The Senate as
whole is to be dscredited The progressive
Republicans and the Democrats still have the
majority of that body. Consequently an attack
directed solely against them would be fruit
less.
But if the whole Senate can be made to
appear as mere obstructive body in the path
of progress certain results are hoped for Spe-
officially, the friends Of the Mellon plan would
SO like to lower the prestige of the Senate that
the public will either rave or laugh at its pro-
ceedings. Then, stripped of lis dignity, the
Senat els to be subjected to demand for pas
sage of re-vamped Mellon plan.
The new tax bill that Congress will take up
next winter will closely resemble last year s
Mellon plan. The LABEL however, will be
changed
The public, it is feared, learned entirely
too much about the Mellon plans provisions
for lowering the taxes of the very rich. 1t will
be more discreet it is now felt, to call the re-
vamped Mellon plan by some other name-for
instance, the Green-Smoot bill. Representative
William R. Green of Iowa is chairman Of the
House Ways and Means Committee Senator
Reed Smoot Of Utah is chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee.
Be it known by whatever name it's spon-
sors hit upon, the new Mellon plan will en-
counter heavy going in the Senate The
House of Representatives is apparently safely
controlled by the Republican organization The
Senate, as the vote on the Warren nomination
proved, is wholly independent
The one chance that remains for passage Of
the special tax reductions sought by the large
banking interests lies in bringing pressure on
the Senate. That body will continue to be
charged with interfering to an unwarranted
degree with Presidenta Coolidge 's>attempt to
make up Cabinet of his own liking; with hav-
ing sponsored Investigations which led no
where with continuing to permit one-man
filibusters that prevent the passage of legisla-
ton; and with other sins too numerous to list.
Those Senators who killed the Mellon plan
and enacted the present more reasonable tax
measurable one that has reduced the income
tax of small income earners-11nderstand the
basis for the attacks and can smile Those SEN
ators who always have been ready to do the
bidding of the powerful private interests are
apt to be little hurt and bewildered by the
new onslaught.

We're reprimanded FOR passing out

Wouldn't that make a plain
citizen dislocate his jaw, and look
over his shoulder expecting to be

After promulgating his ukase

of being a good policeman is at
tending strictly to police bust

Exactly. No municipal reform
err, eyes alight with zeal, could
put the case for divorcihg police
from politics stronger than that
statement
Yet a few weeks ago the throne
decreed that officers who didn't
get right in the mayoralty race
would get left. The department
was house-cleaned for political
reasons. And under the present
system 1t is continually used for
political purposes by the bosses
in power.
After being thrust into politics
up to their necks by the admi,Iis-
tration. now policemen are gravely
ordered by the powers that be to
shun politics.
The interesting point In connec-
ton with the order Is its admis-
sion that the police department
can be kept out Of politics--at thu
will OF those In authority. Police
men don't jump into politics, they
are pushed by partisan admins

OPPOSITION TO

TINE hundred and twenty-five
III citizens living In the dis
trict south Of Southern
Ave, between Meridian St. and the
Bluff Rd.-outside the city limits
voted unanimously against an
nexation to Indianapolis. at a
meeting the other night.
Possibly that is mean slap at
this city. The advantages of
living under the benign and
puissant municipal government Of
Indianapolis ought to be SO self
evident that all central Indiana
should crave to come under it's
wing.
Higher taxes and no benefits
were the arguments in opposition
to annexation.
Probably in this particular case
the residents are justified in re-
naming outside the city. Exten-
sion of the corporate limits to in
clude the territory would be of no
particular advantage to it's
residents or to the city.
However the action is character
istic of the suburban fringes Of
many large cities. Annexation Is
resisted.
Frequently even after city
grows and engIlfs smaller town,
the latter retains its entity-like

In some cases such reluctance
may spring from sentiment, but
usually 1t is higher taxes with no
advantages. On the outside look
ing in, suburbanites see that city
taxpayers seldom get their
moneys worth. Which isn't very
mplimentary to the efficiency Of
American municipal government

In the last few years 1t has been

men wearing skirts on the stage.
At first, entered into the irno-
cent spirit of the affair as one who
sits out in front. AS long as these
university affairs remained in the
amateur or nonprofessional class
was not concerned.
Certain universities, through their
organizations or clubs. seem to be
running a race to see how many
men they can put into skirts in an
expensive stage production.
When a university production such
as Ivan Ho!' as produced by the

loses its greatest asset-youth and
