A NEW SCHEME
at hand.

The farmers asked the last Congress for relief
legislation.
They didn't get it. The principal reason adj
vanced by Secretary Mellon and other administration
leaders was that the proposed legislation was eco
nomically unsound. They said it smacked of a sub
sidy-a dangerous economic device.
The farm leaders. must have taken the admin
istration rebuke to heart. They evidently went to
reading their books on economics. u
The result is that some of them are already pro.
posing a plan for farm relief that is economically
almost flawless. 1t doesn't even have the weakness
of complexity that hinders a program of tariff re-
form. 1t is ~foolproof in its simplicity, and certain
in, its logic.
That plan is unrestricted immigration
Our principal trouble, say the farmers-or bet
ter, certain of the farm leaders-is that there isn't
enough demand for our products to assure us high
prices. Manufacturers, protested by tariff laws, and
industrial workers, protected by immigration laws,
combineto keep the costs of manufactured products
up, while farm products go begging.
If there were more people in this country, they
argue, there would be greater demand for agricultur-
al products in the home markets, and prices would
go up.
Confronted with the fact that more people
would be bound to mean less product per worker.
and consequently less money per person to buy
farm products, the farm leaders have a ready retort.
AS people get more prosperous, they don't buy pro-
portionately more food. A man with a 5000 income,
for example, doesn't buy anywhere near twice as
much as a man with $500.
Granted, they say, that the general level Of
prosperity in the country would be reduced by un-
restricted immigration, the demand for food would
be increased. Rich and poor alike must buy a GER
tain amount of food.
Told that the great cities of the country are
still menaced by great masses of undigested immi-
grants who came in on earlier waves of unrestricted
immigration, the farm leaders can smile and say.
Yes, but that's a problem of the cities. The immi-
grants don't go to the farms. We are not bothered
with the social problems which immigration causes
in the cities"
The threat Of the farmers to urge Unrestricted
immigration is a formidable move in their campaign
for legislative relief.

while the small and compact group of the criminal
and vicious voted. for the men they could trust TO
protect them and permit them to operate.
They voted for their own interests always, and
perhaps are surprised that any one should dare to
refuse them the profits of the votes they cast.
The gambler, the bootlegger, the keepers of vice
dens, ran the city because they had made their bar
gains with bosses who wanted power and prestige
and offices for their friends.
The time-to prevent the killing of those who
dare to fight for decency is when the first evidences
of such unholy bargains appear.
Those bargains, you may be sure, have been
made when you discover that certain persons are
given the privilege of preying upon the weak through
gambling devices. @
Those bargains, you may be sure, have been
made with some one who holds power over officials,
when merchants are compelled to protest against
the petty thievery Of pettier gamblers who have re-
vived the old policy games under a new device.
Those bargains, you may be sure, have been
hol without any trouble.
Such bargains have been made, of course, when
you see those who never work living in luxury from
the profits of iniquity and consorting very openly
with those in power.
indianapolis gave Don Mellett, martyr editor, to
the world.
His tragic death should awaken in his home city
such a sense of responsibility that those who dare
to traffic with the vicious and the criminal be driven
from power andNhigh place.
The great monument which his home can and
must erect to him is a city clean of any such in.
fuences. And the. time to build that monument is
at hand.

Fl CANTON LESSON

No one should be surprised that the forces of
vice and crime which dictated the murder of Don
Mellett of this city because he had waged a war for
decency and law, now resort to bombs to terrify
and perhaps kill his friends and relatives.
The killing of this able and courageous editor
was the logical chapter to the political events of
that vicinity.
These men and women who openly violated the
law and were protected in their crimes by officials
OF the law, had no other recourse but murdeF when
they were menaced in their activities by one who
dared to speak for public sentiment.
And in a new strange situation, where the senti-
ment for decency is powerful, they must still resort
to death and violence to protect their business in
crime.
t@ Any city and any State which permits its politi-
cal bosses to connive and deal with ~violators of the
Jaw is laying the basis for a Mellett tragedy.
The city of Canton in Ohio is not alone in it's
unenviable infamy.
The good people of that city, as in this and
other cities, had permitted themselves to be d.
yided on questions Of party politics or prejudices

ONE QUESTION

Let it be hoped that Governor Jackson will take
some notice of the appeal of a citizens committee
that he investigate the conditions and causes which
led to the strike of four or five hundred street car
employees.
The Federal Court has found two organizers,
who came here from the national union, guilty of a
violation of it's injunction.
To that body can be left the duty and the re-
sponsibility of protecting such rights as have been
lntrusted to its care and the punishment Of those
who violate it's orders.
But this citizens committee did suggest a ques-
ton which is basic and fundamental andSwhich does
lot make it's appearance in court p~leadings.
1t told the Governor that these men had assert
ed that the wage Of 81 to AZ cents an hour which
hey received did not permit them to live in decency
without working more hours than should be demand.
Cd Of any one.
1t told the Governor that the matter should be
Investigated and that the public be given all the
facts.
1t is the public that pays the bills. The people
who ride really pay the wages. No matter what the
opinion of the management Of the company may
be, it is not conceivable that those who ride cars
desire to trust their lives and their safety to men
who are not paid a decent wage.
The people can be counted upon for a willing
ness to pay those who serve them enough to per-
nit them to live in decency.
The present situation is not one that makes for
permanent peace and will not be as long as the
company employs its men on a war basis, paying
a bonus because Of this strike.
For in the end the people must finally pay the
cost Of the strike, which is not inconsiderable. +,
The whole trend Of public thought is for arbi-
tration ana reasonable adjustment.
The modern and enlightened way is to consider
such conflicts as unnecessary and avoidable through
inquiry and investigation and the pressure of, public
opinion.

1t is of interest to know that al
the time Of the death on Saturday
last Of Theodore C. Steele, dean of
Indiana Artists, paintings from his
hand were hanging in three separate
exhibitions in the galleries Of the
John Heron Art Institute.
His Munich Girl" painted in
Munich in 1887, and presented to the
art association, by Mr.. and Mrs.
Alpheus Snow in memory of Mr..
and Mrs. John NJ. Butler is shown in
the new arrangement in Gallery VII
of paintings from the permanent
collection.
In the Frank c. Ball collection in
Gallery TX r three paintings:
Frosty Morning, Brookville," paint
ed in 1905; STUDY Of Negro"
painted In 1884, and Summer
Pasture" painted in 1918. Two adj
ditional are shown in
Gallery XXI in the Special Exhibition
Of Indianapolis Owned Paintings.
Late Autumn on the White
water 1903, from the collection Of
Mrs. John N. Carey; and Land
scape," 1906, lent by Walter
Milliken. Further material has now
been installed in Gallery L in com.
memoration Of Mr.. Steele's passing.
This group includes THE Bloom
Of the Grape" which came to the
Art Association eighteen months
ago as the bequest of Delavan Smith;
Winter Sunlight" purchased by the
Art Association some years ago from
the John Heron Fund; winter in
Munich" 1885, presented by MI. and
Mrs. Alpheus H. Snow in memory of
Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ. Butler; "Por-
trait of a Lady," lent by Mrs. Kate
MCGOWAN; and the portrait Of Mr..
Steele by Simon 3. Baus.
Photographs Of other canvases by
Mr.. Steele are shown, and n group
Of various newspaper clippings, ETC..
in regard to the artist and his work
have been arranged in conjunction
with the paintings.
In this way the Art Institute can
express Immediately through in very
small measure, it's appreciation of
Mr.. Steele's contributions to its
progress and to the furtherance Of
art, and particularly Indiana art.
The special exhibitions installed
for the summer period continue in
their various galleries. The Sum
mer Loan Exhibition of Colonial Por-
%trsits, lent by the Enrich Galleries
Of New York. is a source Of enjoy
ment to museum visitors as well as
an exemplification of the early pc
riod Of our American art, which
has practically no representation in
the museums permanent collection.
The special exhibition of Indian.
apolis-owned paintings Is sufficiently
varied in handling and in subject
matter to insure a source Of study Of
American art of the later years.

P~uSSyfoot Sees It

There are two classes Of people
who violate the Volstead act-one
on principle and one because there
is money in II.
Together they form a big minori-
ty. if not an actual majority|forty
million, as General Andrews esti-
mates.
And we expect four. or five thou
san dry agents to stop the traffic.
The law could be enforced, OF
course, but not with any such piker
outfit as that
If we were to appropriate half a
billion dollars each year, call out the
Army and Navy. appoint a special
officer for at least every 500 people
and double our courts, we might
hope to get somewhere.
We haven't the nerve to do such
things for such a purpose. and mat
is where the trouble lies.
Pussyfoot Johnson has the situa-
ton sized up right. He knows what
is needed to see the program
through, but he cannot get anybody
to agree with him.

Courage Lacking

Senator Borah is talking loudly
of notification, but what measure Of
enforcement has he ever offered that
is at all adequate?
Like the vast majority, he is
willing to be dry by word of mouth
but no farther.
With all his enthusiasm, he does
not dare to recommend the APP
preparations and forces which would
be necessary to make the Voistead
act effective.
The vets are violating, but the
drys are making it a laughing stock
through lack of nerve.
They have not the courage to do
what it calls for. and they know it.
There is not one in a thousand
that would stand for the taxes, the
supervision, the searches and
seizures, the ruthless interference,
which honest enforcement Of this
law requires.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-07-29
Herein Lies Danger

AS a matter Of every day ex-
perience, a matter that needs no
argument. or facts to back it up, we
are letting the eighteenth amend
ment die in certain sections, just as
we have let the fifteenth amend
ment die.
So far as actual obedience goes,
It is but another bit of insincerity
written into the constitution, but
another claim Of purity that we for
get to redeem.
"Nullifers." shouts Senator Borah,
but is he willing to mobilize regi-
ments and machine guns to make
New York dry2-
He is not, and neither is anyone
else. with the possible exception of
a few fanatics.
Yet that is what qualification"
should call for, and what it would
call for If directed against some
other provisions of the Constitution.
The fifteenth and eighteenth
~amendents have inspired us with
the view that some provisions of the
Constitution are less important than
others, less worthy of the sacrifice
we would gladly make for others.
1t IS bad to leave such rotten
places in our supreme law, to clutter
1t with declarations that we cannot
agree are sacred, or even essential
to the life Of the Government.
If we adopt many more amend
ments that we are willing to let die,
the Constitution will cease to have
the meaning it should. to challenge
the universal respect 1t must.

Fifteen thousand blind pigs in

Rockefeller investigation.
Rum pouring in over every Dor

never have thought of doing, police
officers getting rich by the protec-
ton of bootleggers. politicians hol-
lering for stricter enforcement, while
their breath is enough to knock one
