In Negq, York
BY JAMES w. DEAN

NEW YORK. Jan. 2s.-A new
office building going up on Times
Square will be open day and night.
The owners ask prospective tenants
to consider the possibilities of doing
business twenty-four hours a day,
pointing out that many out-of-town
people combine business and pleas
ure and that they could go direct
from the theater to offices in the
new building for all-night confer
ences.

gTvtHERE are 1880 women farm
ers in Indiana, according to a.
- recent investigation by the
Blue Valley Creamery Institute.
Women cultivate 81 per cent Of ali
the farms in the State.
1t is not surprising to learn that
women successfully manage and
operate farms on their own. account.
Why not? They boss the other 96.9
per cent Of Hoosier farms through
their men folks
Women can run farms without
masculine assistance, but men can t
succeed agriculturally without the
help Of women. Some try it, but they
merely batch precariously, while cul-
tivating ingrowing dispositions and
dyspepsia
Agriculture more than any other
vocation requires an intelligent
partnership OF husband and wife. A
city woman may know nothing Of
her husbands business except that
he goes to an office in the morning,
presumably to chase an agile dollar,
and returns at night. The home and
business are separate.
A farm home, however. Is not a
thing apart and aloof from business.
1t IS the office, heart, and center
from which radiates all the &C
tivities of a productive industry.
No wonder women are successful
agriculturists-either singly or in
double harness. They have learned
farming not from hearsay or cor
respondence school but by living
with it twenty-four hours day.

Reason for Fight on Stone and Warren

disposal of Warren'S nomination to
the whole Senate for full debate. The
sugar issue was first raised by SEN
ator Couzens, with the backing OF
the entire Michigan delegation. in
the House. The House members
Joined Couzens in recommending
Governor Groesbeck of Michigan
for the post given to Warren.
Backing Goesbeck was their more
or less delicate method Of indicat-
ing that they didn't want Warren.
In this they were supported by the
Republican State Committee, the
Republican National committeeman
and large part of the Michigan
Legislature.
Opposition to Warren, on the part
of Couzens, did not rest, however, on
this left-handed proceeding. He
laid before President Coolidge War
ren's record in the sugar matter.
This included the printed hearings
Of the House committees investiga-
ton thirteen years ago Of the tariff
on sugar. 1t was revealed that War
rem had organized the. Michigan Su-
gar Company, by consolidating the
interests Of the Michigan beet sugar
growers, and that he held the larg-
est single block of stock IN the com
pany. The company successfully
urged a tariff to protect it against
the sugar trusts inportations. Aft
er the secretary of the company had
testified before the committee that
there was no connection between
the Michigan company and the SUI
gar trust, Warren, put on the stand
in a subsequent hearing, admitted
that the stock held by himself ac-
tually was the property of Have
meyer, head of the sugar trust.
There is food for much. oratory in
these events, and confirmation Of
Warren viii not be easy.
However, the general belief now
is that, regardless of the new pro
ceedings instituted against Senator
Wheeler by Stone and the growing
antagonism to Warren, their confr-
nation can only be delayed until
the new Senate meets in extra ses-
sion March 4. The principal effect
of the battle viii be the forestalling
of any hoped-for harmony ebtween
the progressive Republicans and the
regulars.

Plots

T DOTH HARRINGTON, Indian.
III apolis author, was awarded a
IL verdict in California the 9th
er day in a 100000 damage suit
brought against him by a woman
who charged he had stolen her plot
for one of his movie scenarios. He
didn't appear in court.
One Of the penalties of successful
authorship or playwriting is the fre-
quent charge OF plagiarism.
Perhaps this is natural. only
about a dozen fundamental plots
exist, and they have been used from
the beginning of time. The eternal
triangle, love. hate. revenge, the
conflict between good and evil, tri.
umph over obstacles, these have
been the themes of all writers.
One man takes brick and stone
and can build nothing lovelier than
a pigsty or a howell From the same
materials another builds a Tai Ma
hal or a Marion County. courthouse.
The secret is not in the brick or
stone, but in the builder.
So it is with literary artisans. It's
not their plots, but what they do
with them. Shakespeare'a immortal
tragedies were embroidered on the
gaunt framework of musty chroni-
cles.ss AFaae framework is forgotten,
but the embroidery has not lost its
brilliance with the centuries. That s
genius.
If one has genius. It is not neces-
sary to file damage suit to enforce
recognition. The world win acclaim

Discipline
BY GAYLORD NELSON

7E RES SENTAT We j.
Tx FRANK SMITH, of Lafay-
IL cite, yesterday introduced a
bin which would require school teach
ers before Furnishing pupils to notify
parents of the time and place-geo-
graphically not anatomfcally
they maJ' attend If they desire.
That should win him the school
boy vote. The average obstreperous
youngster is no friend of corporal
punishment
Theoretically the bill doesn't limit
the teachers right to administer a
licking, but in practice it would.
It's easy for parents to concede
that their errant offspring needs
punishment. but it's hard to sit by
coldly while an alien hand performs
the operation. At the first whinper
che teacher probably would have to
lick the parents.
Spare the rod and spoil the child
is a maxim that has been badly
overworked. 1t is doubtful If a
youngster who is knocked lop-sided
for every innocent peccadillo is i'm.
proved in character.
However, discipline must be
learned by children in school. To
inculcate it teachers should be al.
lowed to choose unhesitatingly
methods suitable to individual cases
as they arise, not later.
Usually teachers don't whip for
exercise, but for cause. If they
have enough Judgment to teach they
have enough Judgment to handle the

the diversion of these special re-
ceipts to single State. purse. The
advantages would outweigh the dis
advantages.
Recently the State had 20 borrow
$2,50O.o00 to resuscitate the general
fund. Yet at that time the State
had idle money in other funds. That
was about as business-like as a man
hooking his. watch for street car fare
because his money is in his left-hand
pocket instead OF his right.
One fund would obviate such loans
and save needless expense. In other
ways State finances would be sinpli-
fed and better controlled If all the
cash was carried in one pocket-snd

Income Tax

Salaries paid employees cosntitute
one of the largest items Of business
expenses in the returns of many tax
payers. To be allowed such deduc-
ton must conform closely to the
wording Of the statute by which it is
defined as "a reasonable allowance
for salaries or other compensation
for personal services actually rend-
cred" The test of deductibility is
whether the amounts paid are reas-
enable, and whether they are, in
fact. purely Tor personal services.
Amounts paid as compensation,
but not in fact as the purchase
price of services. are not deductible.
For exemple. an ostensible salary
paid by a corporation may be the dis
tribution of dividend on stock. This
may be the procedure in the case of a
corporation having few stockholders
ali Of whom draw salaries. If in such
case the salaries are in excess of
those ordinarily paid, for similar
services, and the excessive payments
correspond or bear close relationship
to the stockholdings of the officers or
employees. it would seem likely that
such salaries are not wholly for serv-
ICES rendered. but that the excessive
payments are a distribution of earn
ings upon stock and subject to treat
ment as a dividend.
An ostensible salary may be in
part payment Of property. for ex.
emple where a partnership sells out
to corporation. the FORMER partners
agreeing to remain In the service Of
the corporation. In such case it may
be found that the salaries paid the
former partners are not merely for
services. but in part constitute pay
nent for the transfer of their busi-
ness. The amount Of the excess
should be treated by the payor as a
capital expenditure. which is not de-
ductfble. and by the recipient as part
az the purchase price.

and proposes then to supplant him
with Charles B. Warren, it was nee
essary to make the nominations
when he did. This rumor regarding
the plan to put Warren IN charge of
foreign relations, incidentally. is
partly responsible for the growing
opposition to his confirmation as At
torney General. The Senate being
divided into various camps on for
eign policy, there is apt to be much
consideration of Warren's views on
the subject. The basis of the fight
to prevent his confirmation, how
ever. will not be his attitude on for
eign questions. but his alleged for
mer connection with the Sugar
Trust.
It was the latter consideration
that caused the Senate subcommittee
