The Paumonok Handicap was the
inaugural feature, and it was a fine
field that was to face the barrier.
Many Of the best Jockeys and best
thoroughbreds were Carded to pa
rade to the post.
Noah of the Whitney stable
and Silver Fox of the RancOcas
establishment were the probable
faVOrites. Earl Sande was to be
UP on one of the Oak Ridge Sta
BILE entries, probably MinO.
Just before the start of the met
ropolitan season the stewards Of
the Jockey Club met and failed to
take any action on the cases of
Jockeys Mark F'ator and Clarence
Hummer.
1t was thought by many that
the application for Jockey IL
cense by Hummer, which was
tabled at the last meeting, would
be granted, but no action was
taken. The younger FatOr's APP
pIicatiOn also failed to get fur
Their consideration.

Indianapolis, 3-year~Old FLY,
was to start in the third race at

first today, and in future starts.

UNPRECEDENTED TRAVEL
TO CANYON IN OCTOBER

Grand Canyon, ARR, Oct. 27.--
Clear, dry weather, combined with
the most satisfactory road conditions
SO far this year, has resulted in un-
precedented auto travel to the Grand
Canyon national park since October
L.
The park record books show that
up to and including October "a a
total of 1884 autos had entered the
park compared to LAG last year, an
increase of 50 per cent.
Two thirds of the cars were west
bound while last year at this time
barely one-half were travelling in that
direction Heavy west-bound travel
at this time of the year means q
heavy return travel next spring and
indications are consequently bright
for a record tourist season next
summer.
The government furnished visit
ing motorists with 82,562 gallons Of
pure water during the past season
and so large truck loads of wood
were hauled in for use of campers.
All roads entering the park are
in good condition and also drives
within the boundaries. The Hermit
Rim drive is open at all times Of the
year and motorists entering the
park are able to view the canyon
from this great scenic highway any
day of the year, regardless of weather

Latin-AmeYiCa and the
United States

President Coolidge, in welcoming the first Pan
American Congress of Journalists to this country
departed from the formal phrases usual at such times
and took occasion to recall to that cousins in
the south were using the printing press and univer
stiles to spread truth years before we were.
No less than eight institutions of higher learning
founded in South and Central America prior to
the establishment in 1886 of Harvard, the Oldest uni
yersty in the United States the President re-
minds us.
Also, he points out the first printing press on
this side of the Atlantic set up in Mexico in
1886; and the second In Lima in 1885, 1t was not I'M
til 1889 that the first printing press in what IS now
the United States was user at Cambridge, Mass.
Drama, the arts, poetry fiction, criticism, poiti
cal writing, and scientific research have reached
high state of development in the Latin-Amerlcan re-
publics. Some of the South America newspapers
are among the foremost papers in the world.
1t Is interesting and wholesome too, for u.s.
absorbed in own national achievements, to re-
member these things

Poor Pnba

Silk stockings and shirts for mama these days,
according to all reports but some apparently
still wears cotton 1t must be poor papa.
1t testified before the Senate committee
now investigating the United States tariff commits
sion that United States manufacturers turned out
cotton shirts worth $241,O0OOOO in 1923. They also
exported $2,961,000 worth. And only $4,000 worth
came into the country from abroad, over the high
tariff wall.
Further It was testified that in 1924 6S4, 900 900
pairs Of cotton stockings made in this country
OF which 6o,OOo,OoO pairs we're exported. And only
5,124,00O pairs were imported.
The tariff was so high that foreign shirts and sox
kept out almos tentirely Yet the cost of pro-
ducton apparently low that our manufac-
turers could compete in foreign fields successfully
against the cheaply-made foreign product.
One tariff commissioner says he tried to get the
United States tariff commission to investigate this
queer state Of affairs, to what bearing 1t might
have the price papa pays for his shirts and sox
but the majority Of the commission was against him

Marion county treasurer
Being President used to be pretty fair job He
got to live in a nice big house with the rent hght
and heat furnished by the Government he got MS
picture in the papers almost as much as the Prince
Of Wales; he got into lot OF histories anu ne
received a salary of $4,000 year
OF course there was quite lot of worry con-
nected with the job but could afford to Shout
der considerable care for $4,000 a year and the
plaudits Of the party organs.
This ia a materialistic age. Honor is very fine,
but laying hold of all the gold can honestly as
semble is the chief business In life Of too many
OF us. The materialistio philosophy is that honor
VIII come as a matter of course to him who can
GARNER moro money than the President of the United
States.
What more golden opportunity for fortune and
honor. then than that which lies before the youth
of Marion County?
Get elected county treasurer and receive $685.
900 a year.
This stupendous figure is what Councilman Ed
ward B. Raub says he discovered was the pay OF the
county treasurer last year, a result of our fee
and salary law and the treasurers Interpretation Of
the Barrett law.
The law gives the treasurer $500 year and
treasurer says the law also gives him the interest
on the million dollar Barrett law fund, intrusted to
him as trustee. Raub says the law does nothing Of
the kind that the treasurer should leave the inter
est in the fund to take Of the deficit which grows
annually the result of prepayment of Barrett law
nstalments by property owners desiring to avoid
interest charges.
Raub estimates the treasurer pocketed 100000
in interest from Barrett law funds last year.
One hundred and five thousand dollars year
for administering the financial affairs of county
when the President, held responsible for the pros
perity of Nation, gets 100000 year lessl
The treasurer does not have to shoulder the
whole responsibility either. The county auditor and
commissioners usually get the blame for high taxes
Marion County could almost afford to pay all the
expenses Of special session Of the Legislature to
correct the evil, il that is what it takes.
Raub, however, says he expected to demonstrate
that If present laws were rightly interpreted the
boys still could not be regarded foolish for hop
ing to be President.
Every taxpayer should support Raub and the
State board OF accounts in their efforts straghten
out the tangle.

Whether sale of the beer tonic is
contrary to the States dry act will
probably be decided in due time.
Meanwhile the drys need not be
alarmed nor the vets bubble over
with hope just because a few cases
Of the stuff are sold in Indiana.
Wherever the brew has been put
on the market its advent has been
hailed with joy by the thirsty and
lamentations by the arid. But the
JOY has been short-lived.

purchase the tonic, found that it
was just what the manufacturers
claimed, bitter unpalatable drink.
Cut with near-beer, it had no kick,
no more celebrating than near
beer. The demand Immediately
dwindled and vanished. Another
hope blasted.
Probably if II is introduced into
Indiana the same fate will befall
1t. Thirsty Hoosiers will give it a
trial and then go back to mule,
canned heat and other alcoholic
beverages with which they are IA

1t isn't malt and hops the vets

new tonic is a failure as far as the

ALMOST A
PERFECT TAX

The gasoline tax poured into the
Indiana State treasury s7,653.O49
last year, according to figures
just released by the United States
Bureau Of Public Roads. Among
the fortyfour States levying a
gas tax. Indiana ranked sixth in
the total amount collected from
that source in 1925.
The levy on motor fuel ia the
most successful and productive
money raising scheme devised by
the State. No other tax yields
such large receipts with so little
fuss. resentment and opposition
from the taxpayer.
A perfect tax. one that falls
with the least Jar equally and
Justly on those who pay. is about
as rare IS Il perfect husband. To
most OF us a perfect tax IS one
that We can evade and our neigh
Dor pays. But the gas tax is al
most p perfect tax.
People who CULVER with indigna-
ton when a nickel is sawed loose
from them in general property tax,
customs dues or such levies, pay
the tax on gasoline affably and
without any painful realization
that they are paying.
Sage economists say the gas tax
is all wrong in principle. 1t Is
purely a sales tax such as expo
r7ence has shown TO be usually
unsatisfactory and generally a
failure. Yet In practice It is
brilliant success.
Probably the reason the gas tax
Is so successful is that the money
thus raised is spent where people
can see the results. It goes into
good and better roads to the di-
rect benefit OF the people who pay
the tax. 1t is not squandered for
gliding the dome Of the Statehouse
or for other governmental frills.
The gasoline levy proves that
even the weary and CALLED tax
payer doesn't mind contributing
a dollar to tho public treasury IL it
yields a visible dollars worth Of
public benefit.

NTHE
AIR

Harry S. New, Postmaster
General, during a recent visit to
Indianapolis, predicted that this
city would have air mail service
within a very short time. Contract
has already been let for a route
from Chicago. through Indianapo-
lis, to Atlanta. AS soon as the
planes are built the service will
be started.
Hard upon the heels of his
statement comes the word that the
establishment Of an airport at the
Motor Speedway is agreeable to
the owners Of that property.
Write your own ticket and send
us the Details" was the reply Of
Carl G. Fisher and James A.
Allison when asked for the use Of
the speedway.
After a year of talk, Indianapo-
lis teeters right on the brink Of
doing something in the field OF
commercial flying, an air mail
route, n convenient. accessible
landing field. 'neverything.
And It's time. All this talk
about commercial flying and air.
ports is not just blowing civic
bubbles.
Within the past few months the
Government has expanded the air
mail service by establishing a
dozen new routes, operated by con-
tract with private concerns. A
privately-owned passenger carry
ing line is in operation between
Los Angeles and Salt Lake. A

explorer few from the northern
most point Of Alaska, hundreds Of
miles over the Arctic waste and

FAR FROM THE
POORHOUSE

The Ford Motor Company in
1925 earned net profits Of S94,560,.
397. according to the estimates of
financial sharps who have studied
the company's annual financial
statement, filed in Massachusetts
yesterday. The statement places
the company's assets at $742,
913,56S.
The value OF the physical as
sets. plants. properties and cash
in the bank, of the Ford concern
is greater than the total assessed
valuation Of the city of Indianapo-
lis. And the annual net profits Of
flivver enterprise would, II d.
vided among the people Of Indian
apolis. give each man. woman and
child here 5000.
AS Henry Ford, his wife and
son own the whole Ford business,
that family is not exactly on the
way over the hill to the poor
house. Far from it. And they are
going in the opposite direction.
Uncle Henry can amuse him
self with old-time fddlers and the
revival of old-time dances If he
pleases. He can put 1t all over
Old King Cole and summon I'D
dlers three or three hundred with
out seriously impairing his bank
roll.
And twenty-five years ago he
was working for a modest salary
and tinkering on his homemade
gas buggy during spare moments.
He was trying to make an auto
mobile.
Maybe he never succeeded. Opin-
ions differ as to whether the hiv-
yer is an automobile or only the
suitable butt for jokes. Some seri-
Gus thinkers regard Henry him
self as somewhat of a joke. Per-
haps he Is. But see what he has
done in twenty-five years. and the
checkbook he now Yields. Let
them laugh that OF.
