Politics Is Politics

Zinovieff, official spokesman Of the
Red world for nearly a decade. finds
himself turned out in favor of an
other man.
Whether you call it bolshevism,
democracy or whatnot, politics is
politics the world over and without
regard to place or time.
If leader can't hold the con-
fidence of his crowd he loses.
It matters little to outsiders
whether Zinovieff or Bucharin heads
the third internationale, but those
on the inside take 1t seriously.

A Correction
In this column, Nov. II, our Wash
ington Bureau gave the relative sal
aries Of the prime minister of Eng
land and the president of France as
$40, 900 and 100000 respectively.
This, was an error, due to failure
properly to calculate current rates.
Following is the correct answer:
The president of France receives
100000 francs, which at present ex-
change is about $4,000 per year;
the British prime minister receives
5000 pounds, or about s24,250 per
year.

ANOTHER YEAR

Before another Thanksgiving day comes, let it
be hoped that one cause of rejoicing will be the
adoption Of city manager form of government and
the erection of city government in which there is
confidence at home and for which no apologies need
be made abroad.
The present form of government is Anticipated
and embarrassing to such officials as may wish
to serve the public interest.
But when the city happens to get into the hands
of the boss-pcked and mediocre to put things mild
ly, 1t becomes a screen to hide their deficiencies
The matter of city government is important. The
present situation is not very good advertisement
for Indianapolis. There is nothing about it in form
personality which would attract either men or in
dustries to come here.
The modern city is really business institution
in which most of its common activities demand bust
ness judgment and expert control
Other cities have found that the employment of
a city manager, an expert in city needs without
political bias and mortgages to bosses, gets results
In other Cities partisan politics has been elm
mated and the high cost of bossism cut out.
This city needs change if there has ever been
any city which could so profit
A change this year and big celebration of
thanksgiving and relief year hence might be an
attractive prospect.
