The Vertically Rising Plane.

An important announcement comes
from the experimental laboratory of
the Curtiss Airplane Co. that ma
chine capable of making a perpendicu.
lar flight has Just met successful wind
tunnel tests. On the basis OF these
experiments it is now planned to pro-
duce a standard plane of a new and
revolutionary type, capable, it Is ex-
pected, of rising vertically at the rate
of 900 feet a minute. This machine,
it is explained, will have three wings.
rotating as a speed of from 120 to 1876
revolutions minute.
1t has long been recognized that
the airplane of the standard type pro.
PEELED horizontally by its driving pow
er and ascending by the DETECTION of
vanes is seriously limited in it's ap-
plicability. For rising or for landing
it must have a wide area. This fact
has caused a large number of inven-
tors to seek a vertically rising ma
chine. Gyrocopters and helicopters
have been devised which have had some
measure of success, but which have
not reached the point of practical de-
velopment. Should the gap between
the standard plane and the helicopter
now be bridged by this new device
the art of flying will be revolutionized
1t will be possible to send planes up
from a limited area and to bring them
down within a restricted space. Great
airports will not be required for take
off and landing purposes. The air
mail services can be conducted from
the roofs Of postal stations. Passen-
ger plane service can be maintained
from the center of cities. The cost
of aviation equipment is sure to be
greatly decreased.
Of course, there is one primary con-
sideration to be borne in mind-that
of safety. The vertically rising and
descending machine must be as de-
pendable as the present standard
plane. 1t must be as stout in stress
of weather, as certain Of functioning
throughout it's flight. 1t is announced
that it will be a year before the
new type plane is ready for use.
If it meets the essential requirerSents
and comes up to present expectations
it will have solved the greatest prob.
lem Of human flight now remaining.

trants in the mayoralty race, at least,
did not try to find places at the execu-
tive desk at the city hall, already
somewhat crowded.
A way out of the difficulty has been
proposed. 1t is now suggested that
the matter be left to the judicial
bench of Marion County, the nine
judges to choose a mayor who shall
serve until an election can be held.
Meanwhile all sorts of quo warranto
proceedings have been staiaed, certain
to give the court plenty of work. The
situation must, of course, be quickly
relieved, for it is inconceivable that SO
large city as Indianapolis can run
along under two helmsmen without
disaster. \ factor of interest lies in
the decision of the chief of police that
he will obey the orders of Negley. the
nominee of the city council. That
would seem to give him the edge on
the situation, pending some action by
the court.
Altogether a pretty spectacle of
American competence in self govern
ment. 1t should be speedily corrected.

The Power of the Progressives.

TIE power of the Republican
- %.-rc.S..-e.cc..:::vc: N the Senate in The COM
ing Congress is obvious. With the Re-
publican and Democratic strength
divided almoct equally, a group of
Progressive Republican Senators can,
by the simple expedient of joining
with the Democrats, block legislation
urged by the administration and the
majority party, or it can, by the same
,expedient, put through bills which are
opposed by the administration.
Obstructive tactics are rarely popu-
lar in this country. The American
people like to see things done. If they
ere not done, they blame the men in
public life who prevent action. In
the Sixty-eighth Congress the Repub-
lican Progressives, joining with the
Democrats, played hob with admins
tration measures. 1t is not on record,
however, that either the Progressives
or the Democrats gained in popular
estimation thereby. In the national
election of 1924, the Progressives,
under the leadership of the late Sena-
tor La Toilette of Wisconsin, carried
one State, Wisconsin, and the Demo
Gratis, with John w. Davis at their
head, carried the "solid South" and
one or two other States.
The Progressives in the Senate,
however, have an opportunity at the
coming session of Congress to aid and
to play an important part in really
constructive legislative work. Farm
relief, better termed farm aid, is COM
ing prominently before the Congress.
If it can be tackled with a real de-
sire to aid the farmers and not
merely for political purposes, so much
the better. Flood prevention in the
Mississippi Valley presses strongly for
action. Development Of water power.
especially at Muscle Shoals, a definite
program for the American overseas
merchant marine and the Navy pro.
gram all need the most earnest at
tention. Progressive Republicans who
have the interest of the country
at heart will deal honestly with these
legislative problems. Legislation at
best is usually reached through COM
promise. not of principle, but of
method. 80
1t is when political animosities DOM
inate that reason and justice in the
halls of Congress depart. In the
United States, the will of the majority
is supposed to be supreme. Minori-
ties have their rights and they are
carefully guarded in the rules of the
Senate. But when the tail undertakes
to wag the dog. it produces no little
Irritation in this country.
The course of the Progressive group
in the Senate will be watched. 1t can
use it's power well or foolishly. 1t
may be expected to fight for Progres.
sive measures and it is its right to do
so. But If 1t undertakes to block
J measures of merit desired by a ma
iority, it will do much to discredit
itself.

Hydra Headed Indianapolis.

Legal and political chaos prevails
In Indianapolis, as a result of the re.
cent conviction of Mayor Duvall of
malfeasance in office. Upon the find
ing of the jury that he had been guilty
of improperly in connection with the
making of certain appointments, he
. was pronounced ineligible to hold the
mayoralty. He at first resisted this
. contention. and then named his wife
city controller, from which office she
, would succeed to the mayoralty if 1t
were to become vacant through his
custer or resignation. This act caused
vehement protest, with references
to the celebrated case of. the Ferguson
family in Texas. After brief lapse of
time things happened with swiftness
and confusing results. Mayor Duvall
her capacity as controller. She named
Ira NJ. Holmes, an attorney, as con-
troller. Then she, too, resigned as
mayor, and Holmes assumed the office
thus vacated. This caused a furore
Of protest, as it was recognized as n
device to continue the Duvall regime
in power. The city council met in spe-
cial session and elected Claude E.
Negley, its president, as mayor. When
he went to the city hall he found
Holmes in possession, but in a polite
mood. Holmes allowed Negley to sit
alongside Of him az the mayors big
desk, and the two men went through
the motions of administering the af-
fairs Of the Hoosier metropolis. They
named different people to fill the same
, offices and issued contrary orders to
subordinates, all in the best of humor
and with a finesse of consideration
the mayoralty bobbed up, Joseph L.
Hague, who declared that inasmuch
as he had served as city controller ir
the preceding administration he was
entitled to the office, and Waltei
Meyers, who was Duvall's Democratic
opponent in the 1925 election. Just
how these two can possibly sustain
their claims is somewhat of mystery
but the addition of two more potentia
mayors does not appear to have both
