Troops Still in the
Coal Fields

(T HE great war of the coal fields still is in
progress. Of course, there has been no
violence, and so far as the public knows, no
verified threat of violence. There still are ru-
mors There always are when troops are sent
out.
Of course, the National Guardsmen, the
number of whom at present being deep, dark
secret, are having a good time playing with
their machine guns and flying their airplanes
and wondering just what they would do should
something happen to happen.
Perhaps Governor jackson merely intend
ed to give some of the boys an outing If this
was his intention, he should have waited a
month or two until the weather warmed up.

Attention,
Manufacturers

FRI HE East can learn lot from the West
l about water power. Manufacturers can
learn lot from farmers.
We commend to the attention of manufac-
turers an article on another page of The Times
today by Max Stern. 1t tells the story of set
tiers who entered with high hopes upon the
Government reclamation project in Klamath
Basin on the border line between California
and Oregon. An essential of this project was
the by-product of water power. Today the set
tiers those who haven t moved out, are broke
and desperate. The water power which would
have made them rich was turned over to pri-
vate company, by the Government, for a song
The private company is making something
like ten million dollars year profit out of the
power. The farmers realized the value Of the
power and protested earnestly, but in vain,
against the sale to the private concern.
The klamath Basin project is tragic fail
ure. That it could have been the reverse Is re-
vealed by the success of the Salt River Valley
project in Arizona. There the settlers are pay
ing off the cost of the great Roosevelt dam
and other works and will in fifteen years own
the entire project-paying for it out Of the
profits from their water power.
One Of thees days the Government will de-
eide which of these two courses to follow in
the case of the gigantic Boulder dam project.

| JOSEPH HAD
NOTHING ON US

GT3 ELL-DRESSED men this
WI spring will wear gay-hued
G raiment, according to the
prediction that leaked out of the
convention of Indiana Retail Cloth
iers and Furnishers, held In In
dianapolis this week.
Gray and lighter shades Of tan
will be the favorite for suits. It's
said. Shirts. neckwear and breast
pocket handkerchiefs will be of
bright and startling shades. And
the derby hat is coming back.
GOSH
Apparently the makers
decided that Joseph had nothing on
us. If he could wear a coat of
many colors and get away with 1t,
SO could the modern sheiks. And
they will do Soft that's the style.
OF course, 1t has never been I'M
constitutional or contrary to stat
ute for a man to wear the whole
spectrum from red to violet IL he
desired. And a couple of centuries

glasses.
Then fashion decreed dull, sober
masculine plumage. The gaudy APP
parel was laid aside. Any man in
the past century who dared VEN
ture abroad in green breeches and
purple coat invited riot, murder
and mayhem. 1t Just wasn't done
because 1t was questionable.
Now gay-colored masculine at
tire is again coming into style.
And we'll all wear em after the

A QUALIFIED
SMOKE INSPECTOR

(r-0 HE smoke abatement COM
mittee of the Woman's De-
5 partmentl Club, In q COM
munication 10 Mayor Duvall, asks
that q professional engineer quail
flied by technical training In the
theory and practice 70 heat, power
and combustion engineering" be
appointed city smoke inspector.
Theoretically the ladies are right.
Such q man as they suggest would
be equipped to reason with the
smoke nuisance and educate 1t.
But from past experience with
indianapolis smoke inspectors, the
technical equipment of the In
cumbent doesn't matter.
The only qualifications he has
needed has been ability to write
notes and freedom from writer's
cramps.
The makers OF the dun-colored
clouds that hover over Indianapolis
and give the community sepia-
tinted soul don't need to be taught
by a city combustion expert how
to abate the nuisance. 1t isn't
education they need; they already
know how to reduce the output OF
smoke. But they aren't yanked
into court and fined for violations,
so they comfortably ignore smoke
abatement.
If the policy OF smoke abate-
ment is pursued in the future as
It has been In the past, when In
dianapolis has the million pop
ulation Homer Mckee talks about,
citizens will have to wear miners
lamps to find their way around.
A real smoke ordnance, ener-
geticaily enforced, will do more to
clear the air than anything. IL
we have that It won't make much
difference whether the smoke In
spector is q technical expert or a
free will Baptist. The nuisance
Will then be abated.

THE PADDOCK
AS A MOP

RI ROSECUTOR REMY, In his
r. effort to dry UP Indlanapo-
lis, has filed In Superior
Court seven abatement suits SEEK
ing to paddock two residences and
five soft drink establishments and
poolrooms where, 1t is charged,
nquor has been sold.
The action. of course, Will be
applauded by those in favor Of law
enforcement. But the paddock, in
tended as tho most potent prohi-
bition weapon. isn't much more
effective than a popgun.
It may restrain some legitimate
hotels and restaurants from sell
ing booze as a sideline. However,
It doesn't even temporarily incon-
venience the small fry who sell
mule from behind 6 thin screen
Of worn1y tobacco and pop bottles.
When his place is padlocked the
proprietor moves around tho cor
ner and is open for business again
in half an hour.
And It may work a hardship on
a law-abiding landlord on whose
premises violations occur without
his knowledge or consent.
Recently prohibition officers
threatened to paddock one of Chi
cago's largest hotels because a
couple of hellhops peddled booze
to guests. And for several months
the Federal district attorney in
New York has been theoretically
padlocking Broadway. Tongues IN
Chicago and New York are no
more dry and parched following
these threatened and actual pad
locking activities than before. Nor
will they be In Indianapolis If the
seven places designated by the
prosecutor are padlocked
AS long as the booze seller and
his hip-pocket are at large he has
a place Of business. Consequently
as a mop the paddock is mostly a
flourish.
