The Farm Loan System

The federal farm loan system has passed through
the greatest crisis in it's history, Informed in
the annual report of the federal farm loan bureau.
Substantial results have been achieved and ma
teria progress has been made" in Strengthening out
the affairs of the system.
This is important news and good news, and it is
to be hoped the bureau correct in estimating the
effect of the reorganization undertaken in the spring
of 1927. Receverships, criminal prosecutions in GER
tain instances and complaints in congress had begun
to impair the confidence of the public in the system
and in this way to detract from its usefulness in pro-
viding cheap and adequate credit to agriculture.
"a program of thorough reorganization, designed
to ascertain and defects and to place the board
in position adequately to perform its supervisory
functions has pursued actively throughout the
year." the report states.
The defects it appears, many and varied, but
result of measures undertaken the situation
steadily has improved, public confidence has in
creased and there every to look forward to
the future with optimism"
Importance of the system is indicated by the fact
that the loans of various sorts against which bonds
have been issued exceed two million dollars This
amount of credit made available to agriculture is
important factor in the farm situation. Important
also is the task of seeing it that securities sold to
the public under government auspices are sound
The board points out that the work of reconstruc-
ton requires time and that there still are many mat
tiers from the standpoint of better administration and
supervision which are receiving attention. Meantime
the system has demonstrated it's soundness and
funess in principle and practice, in the opinion of
the board.
Further Improvements no doubt will be made in an
administration committed to farm relief and SYM
pathetic to the problems of agriculture. The govern
ments farm credit measures must not be allowed to
break down through lack of administrative vigor
neglect

DUT, as I have said, money is not
ID the only incentive. Although
the election of Hoover seemed to
promise bull market to the trade,
all my rum selling friends voted for
Al Smith I think that for the most
part they are sincerely against pro-
hibition, in spite of the benefits
which it has brought them.
The speakeasy man is of a much
higher type than the old-fashioned
saloonkeeper. There was a dull,
fish-eyed morality about the big
men who once stood back of the
brass rail. The old-time bartender
had an annoying habit of remarking
to the customers about closing time
that he himself had never taken
drink in his life. Seen too much
of the stuff, I guess"
Whenever any one asked him to
join III he always took cigar. And
even that he didn't light, but placed
within his pocket.
Since liquor was then legal, the
bartender and his boss were both
respectable members of the COM
munity. All were happily and SOL
EMMY married and the fathers OF
prodigious families.
Twenty years ago there was hard
ly bartender on all Broadway that
you would care to take home ana

Burke Steps Out

Charles H Burke commissioner of Indian affairs
who has survived many Investigations of his bureau
at last is out of Office by his resignation His
departure is necessary outcome OF the senate Indian
investigation and disclosures of ntolerable conditions
on government reservations.
President Hoover did not hesitate in accepting
Burkes resignation, but is showing commemorate
desire to delay appointment of successor until ne
can find man who will reorganze the Indian bureau
on a plane above criticism.
While Burke has been exonerated by the depart
ment of justice of any criminal acts in connection
with the jackson Barnett case its report by Pierce
Butler Jr. does show that illegal requests OF the
uaalt,v Indians money were made by the depart
ment of interior.
This in itself was strong criticism of the Burke
administration, especially because it established
nrecedent that was carried out in less conspicuous
cases.
While Burke appears to blame for much that has
been occurring under the Indian bureau ne is not
alone at fault The system itself is rotten The senate
Indian inquiry must not be permitted to lag because
changes have been made in departmental adminstra-
ton.
With Burke out of the way, it no longer can be
o,,arrad that the Investigation is directed at him.
Tsurke has retired voluntarily. The government has
released him of any fear of prosecution. His swan
~ has been sung and the nation need concern ltseIf
about him no longer.
The nurposes which prompted the Indian lnvestl-
cation by the senate must be carried OUT a
,+e,, must be devised that not only will protect
t rrdis,, from those who want to get control OF his
nronerty but which will stamp out disease give the
indian proper food, educate him, and make nm
useful and responsible citizen

DANCER Found i'm Coal Tar Use

on the blood and may be respon-
sible for hemorrhages and anemia.
One of the substances most i'm
portant in commerce and in medi-
cine derived from coal tar is phe-
mol. Phenol is also known as car
bolic acid. 1t is used as an anti
septic.
When taken into the body it is
extremely caustic. 1t will burn the
tissues with which it comes into
contact. After the poison enters
the system commissions follow.
From coal tar also are derived
various anthracene products. When
these are taken into the system
there results water logging of the
lung tissue.
In the case of the man who has
been mentioned all Of these various
aoal tar products exhibited their ef-
fects in severe form.
There are many industries In
which coal tar and various deriva-
tives besides those that have been
mentioned such as toluol, naphtha,
benzene and aniline are concerned.
Workers with such substances
learn to treat them with respect be-
cause they soon become aware Of
their dangerous possibilities.

The Final Test

Barring the outside chance the supreme court
will decide that no city may have the City Manager
form of government, that movement for good gov
eminent now faces its final test
Behind it are the hopes of the vast majority of
citizens that through it may come liberation from
political and partisan rule of the past.
To it very large numbers of unselfsh men and
women have given their time, their work and their
money with other purpose in view than that In
dianapolis may be set free and go forward to new
levels of growth and prosperity.
The Times was the first public agency to advocate
this modern system of municipal rule. 1t first
to present the advantages Of a government that
would not be allied to state and national politics,
but would attend to city affairs basis Of good
business and good citizenship.
Finally public attention and interest centered upon
this suggestion and the great movement with its
five to one victory at the polls brought the
SADIE to its climax.
At every step the selfish, the venal the crooked
and the criminal have opposed this advance.
At every step Cofhnsm has interposed. It tried
10 check and disrupt the movement. 1t tried to crawl
into the organization of the City Manager forces. 1t
tried finally in the legislature, to sink the ship.
The. movement has met these tests by such show
of public sentiment and hrmnesS of purpose that
these forces of reaction have been defeated.
Now will come the real test On the street it is
predicted that the party Bosses working together
will elect their henchmen commissioners and that
the city will again be under the chains OF special
privilege political plumber and corrupt rule
It is said with hopelessness, that the bosses
will once more sell immunity TO the criminal con-
tracts to the greedy, jobs to the lazy.
There can be but one way in which bossism car
win 1t is the old way Of dividing those of the same
purpose into rival camps and then voting their own
followers solidly. That trick has often worked
The one way to defeat such a movement is
clarion call to the unselfsh spirit which has won its
victories and the drafting of candidates OF such char
acter as to command universal support and respect.
In this movement the friends of the City Manager
system must attempt to balance their ticket be-
tween the old political parties Or factions of parties
In this movement honesty, character and public
confidence are the only tests.
The movement has met the test of unself1shness
grandy and triumphsnty. Can it meet the test OF
unsefsh suggestion which Coffnisn will attempt to
inject into its councils in the future?

GONE of my best friends are pub
~ licans and sinners. To be sure,
I'm sinner myself, on my grand
fathers side.
The popular conception of the
bootlegger and the speakeasy man is
largely erroneous. Generally he
draws fire from both sides. The
vets point to him as a horrible ex-
ample of what prohibition has pro-
duced and, Of course, to the drys he
is an arch criminal who should be
sent to jail for five years and fined
$4,000.
In the cartoons he is always pic
tured as skulking wretch with a
gun in one hand and an overstuffed
cap pulled down about his eyes.
Naturally would not contend that
there are no rogues among the rum
sellers, but as a class they average
up very we'll I find them much
more kindly than the straight-laced.
On the whole, wet partisans have
been even more unfair than the
drys in the picture which they draw
Of the bootlegger. A popular argu-
ment Of notifications in every cam
paign has been that the Anti-Saloon
Lacquer and the rum seller were
natural allies.

In case you're interested he uses pen with very

not be read except with microscopic but 1t is quite
legible once enlarged
Doubtless this ieat qualities him for some KIND
of championship, although it probably won't be
very lucrative one However, fame. of kind, he as
suredv has and deserves; who else, in all the world
can put so many letters in SO small space?
The varieties of fame that man can get IN this
world are almost liInitless. One man is known for
his money another for his ability to fight with his
hands another for his collection of used postage
STAMPS another for his political achievements another
for his good Iooks-and so on in ending pro-
cesson. Some of this fame can be translated into
cash and some of not but it Is worth noticing
that the cash value of it is seldom the thing that
gives it its chief appeal.
