The Slaughter Of the

ri ECENTLY there was heard in Washing
IN ton the triumphant bleating Of congress
sional sheep who had voted to give complete
control Of legislation into the hands Of the
speaker and his small pack Of Administration
sheep dogs Now, if you are listening, you
soon will hear the plaintive beating Of those
same sheep.
AGRICULTURAL NOTE: sheep beat in mo-
nents Of pride after victory won they beat in dis
tress when they need to be helped out Of g. hole)
They are beginning to discover that their
great victory was false and foolish one. 1t
made them feel happy and important that day
to find themselves on the winning side. Sheep
are like that They like to be lined up with the
winners, no matter what is won. So they voted
to give the speaker his new rule whereby 100
members could no longer compel discussion of
bill by the House. It was this rule that en-
abled the Hous eto consider certain amount
of popular legislation in the previous session
and the speaker wanted it out He had his
way and the sheep were glad to be able to help.
They now know they have voted them

Meantime the uprising Of the farmers.
They are demanding action by their Congress
men. Whatgl the Congressman dog They

This is perfectly plain in Washington, but

For Coffin is business man who sacrificed
his immediate personal interests in the belief
that he would prosper with everyone else if In
danapols were made better place in which to
live No one will deny that Coffin did that.
The best index to Collins ability as a pub
lie servant is the fact that six mayors, three Of
them Republicans and three Democrats, saw
the necessity of keeping him in the official
family. Coffin is Republican
For twenty three years Coffin served on

WHAT DOES A

T~7ENATOR ARTHUR ROB
IN 1NSON, candidate to sue
coed himself as junior Sem
ator from Indiana, announced dur
ing a visit to indianapolis Satur-
day that he will select man
ager and open headquarters in a
few days for his campaign for
the nomination.
Il already have an organization
Of friends in every county in the
state.' quoth the Senator. II
have been working on those de-
tails ever since vas first APP
pointed to the Senate. -
He has been an elder statesman
only couple OF months. Congress
is in session. Thousands Of meas
ures of more or less Importance
are awaiting action. Great ques-
tons OF national policy must be
solved-World Court. tax reduc-
ton. air defense, war debt set
Elements. as we'll as the ordinary
matters Of Federal government
cry for attention.
One would think that a new
Senator would find his time fully
occupied with the duties of his
offlce, and study of the large prob
lens of national policy that he
must help solve. Theoretically a
Senator's first concern should be
his service to the public.
But the new Senator from Indi-
ana has so far busted himself with
building up a personal political or
ganizztion, and is committing back
and forth between Washington
and Hoosierland In. his campaign
for election.
The case is typical. What does
a Senator do2 His principal occu
patton is building political fences
TO insure his reelection. If he has
any time left over from that alb
sorbing business he win devotei
the leisure moments to national
affairs.

Little Annie Rooney is both
comedy and drama with Mary and

lax DIVORCE LAWS

-
ET7 e read that an eastern judge
lW has granted woman a d.
~ vorce on the grounds that her
husband lavished too much affection
upon their pet dog She was given
the divorce, alimony and the dog.
Does it not sometimes appear. in
the cannals or the divorce court, that
something isl little bit wrong with
the judges? Are they not occasion
ally too free-handed in their inter
probation of laws which authorize the
legal severance OF the marriage tie?
These men, we all know. have a
grave responsibility resting upon
them. and few perhaps tail to real
lie this. But sometimes it looks as
II some OF them do not look with
much judicial dignity upon their
honorable positions.
Such a charge as the one quoted
above cannot be fit reason for d.
vorcc in any State in the Union. And
even though the Judge who grants
a separation in such case knows
that an understanding has been
reached between husband and wife
prior to the charges, still does it not
make our laws as we'll as our mar
riages paltry things when such ac-
cusations are considered and pub
lished as evidence2
We all know that divorces are
easy to obtain, for the laws in re-
atty have little to do with them.
Sometimes. nay ofteh, there is no
real evidence presented % the pre-
siding Judge by the lawyer in the
case. There are merely accusations
of mental cruelty--which may mean
anything from PHYSICAL brutality to
eating with a knife-and the decree
is forthcoming.
In most cases the parties affected
have agreed to, a divorce beforehand
perhaps the defendant wishes it
even more than the plaintiff-but
Is this not stretching the law bit
too hard to At our personal inclina-
tons?
And this very method OF granting
divorces. granting them for any
silly and ridiculous cause under the
sun. granting them without the
slightest proof Of any sort. Is one
OF the reasons why Americans have
SO little respect for legal AUTH brlty.

AN EMPTY
TREASURY

lAYOR DUVALL and the

~ into tire city hall today find
the city treasury bare. like Mother
Hubbard's cupboard, as is custo-
mary. The first official business
will be to borrow $650.OOO to meet

Yet only month ago half of

treasury. And Mayor Shank, who
has just officially expired, fire.

The money wasn't squandered
in a fiscal dehauch. The December
tax receipts were used to pay
loans contracted last summer.
Next June's tax receipts viii be
used to pay what is borrowed in
January.
Indianapolis financial operations
are n succession Of temporary
loans-expenditures gallop along
six months ahead of receipts. Cur
rent tax receipts are used to pay
past instead of current expenses.
And the taxpayers pay thousands
OF dollars in interest charges In
the endless process OF payinf for
dead horses.
A private individual who thus
continually lives six months ahead
of his income would be considered
a wastrel. Yet that is precisely
what our city administrations are
