Every profession is either organ
lied or headed that way. Art and
literature, as well as science, are or
ganizing
So it is true that all Of US are, IN
one way or another, making bust
ness of our lives. Even our Htch-
ems are organizing through leagues
of housewives and consumers; and
that is really more important than
the organization Of our parlors. We
can let them live while longer in
the society columns.
In the early stages OF this evolu-
tionary process there was much that
was sordid in business, because there
was much that was ignoranta sBut
we have been learning all the time.
If we get right down to brass
tacks, there is greater opportunity
for idealism in business than there
is in politics. Nearly every man who
has made a success of his own
business would be glad to serve the
public for the mere joy Of service, il
he didn't have to wade through the
muck of partisan politics to get the
opportunity to serve.
Some day we'll get wise enough
to make public use of the ability of
men who have succeeded in business
and who on retirement find them
selves rich in money and experience,
but out of a job. And they're not all
recationaries, either. There is such
a thing as a practical idealist.

not repeat too often that America

In another part of his address he
drew the other picture, saying
After all, the chief business of the

great majority of people will always
find that these are moving impulses

There was a time In this country
when the tradesman was looked
down upon as Of rather inferior
stuff. The early aristocrats were
plantation and slave owners, and
agriculture was a manner of living
rather than a business. There was

there is now. Glass distinctions were

NEW YORK, Jan. S1.--Any young
fellow with a flare for writing can
find in New York the opportunity
for a life Of ease, comfort and, pos
sibiy, wealth, If he is, content to re
main obscure and anonymous.
There are here any number Of
men who have made their 'spile" in
commercial pursuits and are ready
to lean back and become famous. In
other words, they have the urge TO
write. the stories of their lives SO
thatsthey may. become as beacons to
others. But most Of these hard.
headed giants Of commerce are also
thick headed, being able to write
little more than their names.
In the shadow OF many an auto.
biography published in the past few
years stalks the ghost of young
college chap who has worked UP a
synthetic passion for the career OF
some captain of industry and SET
it down in words. This finally comes
out in volume bearing the name
of the captain of industry. The
young college man remains anony-
nous.

Regulation

ri WO bills regulating motor bus
Ill operation are before the Sem.
- ate. One vests control of this
newest transportation infant in the
public service commission. while the
other places it under the highway de.
partment.
Public hearings on the measure
have been held this week. Traction
men, bus operators, and others in
.terested, all agreed that motor
buses and truck lines should be
regulated but
Traction men want it done by the
public service commission. Bus
operators believe that body would
favor railraad and traction inter-
ests to the mortal hurt of their COM
petitive industry.
That's not very complimentary to
the public service commission. That
body is presumed to regulate for the
mutual protection of utilities and
public and not to throttle one trans
portation agency for the benefit Of
its competitors.
Perhaps it has hoofs and horns
but probably bus operators fears
would prove to be unfounded Any
way, the selection of the regulatory
body for their business should be
determined solely by public inter

Pleased with Stand
: t,dftor 81 The Tine. :

TO the Editor Of The Times
am SO pleased at the stand you
have taken in regard to city affairs
that. like the old lady with the Jig
in her heels. I can't keep still.
Politics, as you say, must be elm
mated. for no man or woman today
can be honest with the good Of city,
State and Nation in the heart and
be what is called a successful poll
tician. The day is fast passing when
we would vote for candidate, re-
CARELESS. not caring whether he was
man or an ape so long as he rep
resented your particular line OF poll
tics. The Independents will even
tually bring about the right condi-
tons such as we ind existing in any
good business house in this or any
other city.
Economy and satisfactory service
is the rule. Men are not hired for
their politics, They are hired solely
for the good they can do the firm
and the people they serve. If this
manner of conducting business is
good for an individual or firm why
should it not be good for a city?
And if good for clsy why should it
not be good for State? II good for
the city and State why should it not
be good for the Nation? Our Con-
gress today, i'm my opinion. is too
large and unwieldly to transact bust
ness expeditiously and well, and If
we are to believe certain things
said, especially Of late. rotten to
the core"
Men OF Indianapolis, let US get to-
gethar row. and get action. Mere
talk will get us no where. The news
papers OF our country can exert ire
mendous influence for good, If they
quite generously will put their
shoulders to the wheel and do what

| apolis was seven-tenths OF
IL one per cent higher in De.
cember than in the corresponding
month Of 1923. This breathless
news has just leaked out from the
Department of Labor.
The average for the United States
was four-tenths Of one per cent low
err last month than a year ago.
How come? Evidently it's worth
more to live here than elsewhere.
No family budget should be
strained by. the microscopic increase.
which excites Government statisti-
clans more than private ultimate
consumers.
The cost Of living is the subject
of endless investigation and discus
sion. What are the essential items
entering into it? No two persons
agree, for one persons necessities
are another's luxuries.
An Evansville man supported two
wives, a child, and paid $40 week
on an automobile, all out of week
ly wage of $35. He lived in perfect
peace and harmony until bigamy
charge fell on him yesterday Yet,
according to those who delve in fig
ures and purport to know, the pres
-ent cost of living would make his
feat impossible.
He successfully defied the high
cost of living, but not the criminal
statutes.

Early In the morning when it's
time for folks to RISE how oft this
same old story has been told. A
sleepy nissus whispers, when dad
onens up his eyes. YOU'D better
fix the FIRE; the house is cold"
SO father tumbles outward at the
breaking Of the day, and it really
doesn't take fortune teller to tell
a. wondering world that he is sim
ply on his way to fix the bloomin'
furnace in the cellar.
He shuff1es in his slippers and his
bathrobs .drags behind. He really
has real reason to be sore, But
what's the use to argue when his
wife's made up his mind that it's
up to him to feed the furnace door.
In time the Goals are blazing and
they're heating up. the house. He's
wise TO get the furnace FIRE in trim.
For IL he didn't rouse the heat to
warm his little spouse, she'd likely
make 1t kinda hot for him.
