reduction of s200,O00,000 or $500 :
100000 more next year.
"When the government sa' cs
money it does not mean that the
money is not spent. What it does
mean is that, instead of being spent
by officials to keep unnecessary bur

Reason for Names Change

Whistler was baptized james Alb
bolt. The Mcneil (his mothers name)
was added shortly after he entered
West Point. There is not college in
the land where a student sooner gets
nickname. The initials of Whistler's
name q. A. W. combined with the
self knowledge of his fuency of
speech quickly suggested to him the
use that would be made OF them, and
he instlnctlvely shrank from the com
bination. The cadets had no access to
the records. and before any cadet
knew his initials, Whistler had chris
tened himself with his mothers name

Arthur Brisbane, noted New York
editor, recently commented on the
sudden death of William Jennings

that the Commoner had eaten too
heavily before he lay down for
the nap from which he never awak-

demonstrated with Mr.. Bryan for
eating too heavily.
have often expressed it as my
sincere opinion that those who eat
to excess are just as blameworthy
as those who drink to excess Doc

1t is just as detrimental to health
to eat too much as it is to drink too
much.
And yet here was a man who
became a fanatic against drink?

HOW LEGIONNAIRES TREAT
THEIR BUDDIES IN THE WEST

Omaha, Neb.-Speaking Of service
-. That commodity was do
livered in liberal quantity by Omaha
Post of The American Legion here
recently. 1t happened this way.
J. L. Rice, adiutant of the Le-
gion Post at Duchesne, Utah, travel
ing on stretcher in a Pullman
drawing room, passed through here
on his way to Rochester MINI. to
be operated on at the Mayo brothers
hospital.
A telegram from the Department
of Utah was received at Omaha
Post headquarters requesting that
Rice be met at the train here to
cheer him up. Miss Veta Pickard,
president Of the nurses division
of the post; Edith Daugherty and
Ernestine Larson and Acting Adj
iutant Weinberg formed the delega-
ton which met Rice.
The nurses served delicious egg
nog; they gave the weary traveller
an alcohol rub; and. after he had
been carefully moved to wheel
chair, they took him for a trim
around the station grounds. Several
kilograms were dispatched for Rice.
and in other ways his comfort was
looked after.
"Say. young man, what is this
outfit that you represent ?" asked a
mddle-aged traveller of Weinberg.
"We're from The American lie
eion and we were asked by an
other Legion post to meet our COM
rade here" said Weinberg.
"Well, I've belonged to the big
gest fraternal organizations in the
world for years and I've seen many
things. but this service you people
have done for this man in the
few minutes time between trains
beats anything I've ever seen be
fore You certainly must have a
great organization" said the trav-
eler.

Daily the metropolitan newspapers

with very few exceptions these win

A MYSTERY

Why the miners, having clamored
for arbitration in the past when they
could not get it, should refuse it
now when they can is mystery.
1t may be that President Coolidge
can succeed in getting square

situation. If he can he will win
enduring fame as the one man who
settled coal strike without taking
it out on the public.
Is that too much to hope for?

THE UNFAIR "TAX EXEMPT"

On July l, there were 242 per cent
more wholly tax-exempt securities
in hands of public than on Dec. 81,
1912, and 1876 per cent more than
on Dec 81. 1928.
The significance of this enormous
increase in tax-free securities for
the industrial and commercial life
of the nation becomes apparent when
it is realized that an industrial, rail-
road or utility bond, even under the
reduced rate of the 1924 Revenue
act, would have to pay 1888 per cent
interest to compete with Az per
cent state or municipal bond in case
of a prospective investor with a net
income exceeding 100000.

Last week Judge Manson's name was be-

whether he should have made that fine large

been judge eight years and, save for that

NO REAL
CRIME WAVE

G~7HIEF RIKHOFF. at re-
cent meeting Of city depart
~ ment heads. asserted there
has been no real crime wave in
indianapolis. The daily output of
murder, violence and banditry-he
infers-is merely an optical illu-
sion.
One can't dispute so high an
authority. But If there is not
crime wave in Indianapolis and
Indiana there is a pretty fair imi-
tation Of one that answers for all
practical purposes.
The number of prisoners in State
penal institutions, according to a
report Of the State board Of cor
rection and charities, issued the
same day as the chiefs pronounce
ment, has shown an astounding in
crease in the last ten years.
There are almost twice as many
men in the Indiana State Prison
now as there were ten years ago.
The State Reformatory population
has grown so per cent in the dec
ade. There has been a slight in
crease in the number of inmates
of the Woman's Prison. And the
number of poems at the State Farm
has tripled.
Yes there is no crime wave, it's
said. That sounds like the Coue
formula every day, in every way,
I'm getting better and better"
But the chief is partly right. A
surprising fact revealed by the
above mentioned report is that,
while in ten years the population
of Indiana State penal institutions
has been growing like a Florida
boom town, there has been an &C
tual shrinkage in the number OF
persons confined in Hoosier county
Ja1ls-a shrinkage of 10000.
Apparently the total amount Of
crime in the State is no greater
today than ten years ago. But
there is a real change for the
worse in the character OF the Of
lenses committed. We have fewer
petty malefactors, such as draw
Jail sentences, and more perpeetra-
tors Of serious crimes-bandits,
bank robbers, gunner and killers,
who stop at nothing in executing
their nefarious enterprises.
Statistically there may be no
. crime wave. Actually society con-
fronts a very serious crime stu
ation-which, right here in Indian
apolis, should give the police de-
partment something to worry
about besides the city election.
