The New Year

TT He New Year has been born, among the
blowing of whistles, the ringing OF bells
and-whisper it--not little human gayety.
1t is a season for making resolutivnz and
for planning ahead 1t is a season during
which all of us take stock and give some
thought to progress and betterment.
The old year has been one Of accomplish
ment, but much remains to be, done We are
thinking now particularly of the city of Indi
annapolis.
The old year saw political election which
contained much to be regretted, however I'M
avoidable. John L. Duvall was elected mayor
Of Indianapolis He will take Office next Mon
day He was elected under political system
and inevitably must be a political mayor
Much the same situation would have existed
if his opponent had been elected. Among our
New Year. wishes is the sincere hope that
Mayor Duvall will have a successful admins
tration and that he will accomplish much for
the city that placed him in charge of its affairs
The old year saw the beginning of the
movement for city manager form of govern
ment This movement has gained considerable
Roadway, but much remains to be done. 1t is
to be hoped that the movement to take politics
out of the business affairs of the city will 60
long way toward success during the next
twelve months.
The old year saw the beginning of real
school building program. 1t is unfortunate
that it was impossible to make further progress
in this direction, but, nevertheless, much has
been accomplished. 1t is to be hoped that the
early months of the new year will see some
kind of an adequate building program well on
the way to completion. We wish the new school
board all possible success in this direction.
The old year also has been something
else in Indianapolis something perhaps more
important than all the rest-but something
little harder than the other things to express
in concrete form. We refer to the feeling of
mutual confidence among the people of the city,
a feeling that every one of us has his place in
the community, feeling that in order to strive
ahead all of us must pull together.
May the new year see the growth and bios
soming Of this attitude, for only by pulling to-
gether do people in large groups, such as the
citizenship of Indianapolis, forge ahead.

Book Resigns

TN HE fact that William H. Book found it
necessary to resign as business manager
Of the indianapolis school board is matter
for regret on the part Of the friends OF better
schools in this city Book served the school
board and the city well in his capacity as bust
ness director and he has had much to do with
the excellent record Of the administration now
leaving office.
Book, in a statement accompanying his
resignation, told of conference attended by
two Of the new board members and by Clar-
ence O. Shipp, dealer in ventilating devices, in
which he was asked to cooperate IN blocking
the present school building program and IN
inaugurating a new program to suit the pur-
poses Of the new board We share with Book
his feeling Of surprise that such conference
should be attended by man whose principal
interest is that Of selling ventilators for new
school buildings
AS we have said repeatedly, we have no
interest in the choice of architects or con-
tractors for new school buildings so long as
the taxpayers receive dollars worth Of build
ing and of service for every dollar invested.
Furthermore we do not care whose ventila-
tors are used so long as specifications are open
to all bidders and so long the material pur-
chased is adequate to serve the purpose for
which it was intended. But we do not blame
Book for his attitude. Certainly such con-
ference as he describes should have taken place
between him and the school board members
without outside interference. 1t is hard to I'M
derstand how Ship could have any proper
place in such a meeting.
The fact still remains that Indianapolis
must have school buildings. Conditions can
not be allowed. to continue as they are. 1t is
to be hoped that the new school board, despite
recent activities Of its members, will see fit to
Ego ahead with complete building program,
even though it does not go through with the
one already started Indianapolis must have
school buildings properly constructed at the
lowest cost for which adequate buildings can
be erected. Who does the building and who
furnishes the supplies is Of minor considera-
tion SO far as the taxpayers are concerned.

A M Jean TRICK
OF FORTUNE

N1HILLIP KALER, %, who
stole from the Indianapolis
III postoffice thirty money or
der blanks which he forged and
passed in Illinois towns. has been
arrested with his 17-year-old bride
in Laredo. Texas.
On the eve of his departure to
stand trial in Federal Court in
Illinois for his crime. with 1.-THE
prospect Of a Federal penitentiary
at the end of the trail, he falls heir
to 81 quarter of. a million dollar es-
tate in Portland, Maine.
Fortune played him a mean
trick.
He wanted easy money to
finance his honeymoon. Why earn
it slowly and methodically by way
of small weekly wages in honest
employment when one could get
from $50 to 500 by filling in a
purloined money order blank?
So he took the shortcut to for
tune and landed in cell. And
all the time just around the cor
ner was a legitimate fortune just
ready to plump into his lap and
afford him the means to crafty
his taste for travel, matrimony
and easy living and easy spending.
All he had to do was to plug along
in any prosaic, honest manner
For a lfffia xvhiIa and the world
was his oyster. But in his haste
to find Easy Street he reached the
rock pile.
You can write your own sermon.
However. the episode shows that
the old copybook maxim Of "hou-
esty is the best policy" stil has
a kick in it.

.REMONSTRANCE
AND INJUNCTION

~ JUDGE LEATH E r S, in
Superior Court Thursday,
A4 issued a temporary in
junction at the request of an
aggrieved Indianapolis taxpayer
against the board of works, pre-
venting that body from letSingcon-
tract for the Morris ST. bridge
over White River-part of the pro-
posed flood prevention program.
The start of the Belt Line track
elevation work depends on this
flood prevention project. So this
whole vital public improvement
program faces further delay, i'm
functions, hearings and court
atcion.
A couple of days ago another
aggrieved citizen hung an in
junction on the board of works
hating the Cruise st. widening and
opening plan.
That seems to be the usual ex.
perience of every public improve
ment project undertaken in the
city. Schools, bridges, track eleva-
ton, flood prevention, memorial
plaza and whatnot go through the
same process. They progress from
remonstrance to injunction and
back again-even when favored by
an overwhelming majority of the
citizens and taxpayers - without
getting ahead very fast.
Perhaps in every case opposition
Is justifiable. But demonstrating
against and enjoying every pro-
posed public improvement won't
make Indianapolis bigger and
better in fact as well as in fancy.
No great city was successfully built
on iniunctions.

Who'lI Pay the Taxes?

A soon as the committee met a
strong propaganda, apparently issu.
ing from some central source, was
heard for repeal Of the inheritance
tax. "Tax clubs" from several
States came all the way to Wash
ington to argue for the repeal.
Strangely enough, the most vocal
Of them were from Texas, the State
of Representative Garner, Demo.
cratic leader on the committee, and
Iowa, the home of Chairman Green.
Florida Interferes
Had it not been for Florida s action
in barring all inheritance taxes few
years ago, the Federal tax might
have been repealed at that. It's
opponents argued that inheritance
taxes belonged to States, ignoring
the fact that most large estates are
built up in the country at large.
AS it was, the States were given a
credit up to 80 per cent Of the new
Federal tax If an estate in Iowa.
for example, should be assessed
100000 by the Federal law, Iowa
might pass law which would per-
NIT collection Of $4,000 of it. The
total tax on the estate would remain
the same, but Uncle Sam would get
only $4,000.
Leaders Of the bipartisan COM
bine were twittted numerically on
the floor by opponents OF the bill.
After speaking of the successful
fight OF two years ago against just
such a bill, representative Rainey,
Illinois, Democrat, said:
"These gentlemen Garner and
Greene) TIRE now together in the
Elysian fields of the very Itch. Arm
in arm, their locks flying in the
wind and their dimpled knees bare,
they dance in ambrosial meadows to
the tune played by the very rich in
New York City. I am not sure
about the tresses, now that. look
at them, but / am sure about the
dimpled knees"
F'rear described the tax clubs as
follows:
I'm the case Of the Iowa club, fif-
teen out of forty-five members were
newspaper men. These forty-five
clubbers' came here to get two
members of the Iowa delegation, and
their methods were as gentle as
those Of highwaymen with black
jacks.
