Investigation Proceeds

The senate Indian investigation committee at last
has been granted authority to proceed.
The appropriation of $4,000 was voted only after
two busters had been started and Senators Frazier
and Wheeler had done heroic work in persuadng in
dividual members to withdraw their objections.
1t now is clear that the senate proposes to expose
for the first time the real facts about the Indian
bureau and the handling OF Indian funds
More than $50 witnesses are waiting to testify and
visits are planned by the committee to eight states
in which reservations located and where serious
charges are being made of mistreatnent of Indians.
The committee, in existence for more than a year,
only has scratched the surface Many more months
of hearings and hard confront it. But the very
fact of the investigation already has helped the
Indians Larger appropriations have been submitted
by the budget bureau and voted by congress.
Instructions have been issued by Secretary Of In
terror West and the Indian commissioner designed to
improve the service and correct conditions Indian
schools have been reorganized and improvement made
The educational system is being examined and hos
pitfalls are undergoing departmental scrutiny.
BY unanimously permitting the inquiry to pro-
ceed the senate shows desire to change the situa
ton from top to bottom and put the Indian on a
secure and permanent footing that will protect his
property and give him belated opportunity to become
a useful American citizen

FIappers Looking Up

GONE people profess to be afraid
y of inventiveness because OF
it's alleged softening effect. They
would have more excuse, if it did
not bring forth airplanes, as well
as lipstickS.
Intelligence is not leading us into
a wilderness of fatty degeneration.
If it makes things easy one minute
it makes them hard the next.
The aviator has robbed the jelly
bean of his glamour. The f1apper
is now looking up.
It might have been different but
for such men as old Professor Lang
lev and the Wrights. The point is,
however, that you can always de-
pend on such men to offset the
smuSh.
Those who think that joy-riding,
slapstick COMEDY, or cosmetics have
run away with the age should take
another peep, preferably into some
of the corners where the work of
civilization is being done-steel
mills, laboratories, mines and farms.

Cuban Dictatorship


To Americans the most interesting part OF the rev.
Citations of an alleged instruction plot in Havana
is the plan to force military intervention by the
United States It is an uncomfortable reminder OF
The uroecorate powers we hold Cuba and OF the
mess which is brewing there.
Whatever the truth or lack thereof in these latest
revelations by President Machado Americans have
grown so accustomed to his shouting Wolf Wolf" that
they are apt to discount his charges which often
have been convenient means for getting rid OF his
political opponents.
But it is quite possible that Machado actually has
uncovered plot assassinate him. If ne insists on
being dictator he must be prepared for that sort OF
thing The old rule that violence begets violence may
be expected to operate the long in Cuba as else
where.
Cuba will be lucky if it escapes an explosion re-
sulting from Machado's tactics of ruthlessness and
suppression He has made normal and legitimate po-
tical opposition almost impossible. He has destroyed
the freedom of universities and OF the press.
His terrorsts have stamped out the effective labor

been frightened into silence have fled abroad or met

The Immigration Issue

merce and labor removes none OF the fundamental
objections to the system.
The secretaries previously reported that it had
an in,nossible to work out the quotas as congress
directed in a satisfactory manner, because OF IN
adequate data. The same data was used IN prepara-
tion of the new table, which does not differ greaty
from the original one.
1t was noteworthy that neither president Cooilose
nor the secretaries made any comment IN connec-
ton with the report.
It now is apparent that this congress has no IN
tention of further posponing the application OIL the
system. The President is required by law TO pro-
claim April 1 that it will go into effect July J.
President Elect Hoover however is opposed Vigor-
osly to the whole national origins plan, and is ex-
peced to ask congress for its repeal in the special
session. Since he feels strongly on the question:
it may become an issue of Importance between him
and congress.

A Simple Solution

At last the trouble with legislation has been
disclosed and simple solution, so simple that
it is remarkable that it has never before been
discovered, found for all the bills of Indiana
The bills, when they become laws are
bound with red tape, not figurative express
sion, but real description.
Red being the color of the soviets, the laws
are contaminated with the spirit of communism
and Indiana has become seething hotbed OF
anarchy.
Only the most carping would suggest that
the red tape had been used long before there
was soviet or communism became subject OF
any Importance The fact remains that the
laws of Indiana are tied up with the color OF
Lenin and TrotsEi and must therefore take on
some Of the character of those menaces to
mankind.
IF the red tape is abolished, it will no longer

Perhaps if these members Of the Legislature

SapheadS Can't Ely

A Walton is doing much to re-
4 n store a sense of manhood. To
let the boys of this generation see
what it takes to make success.
You ant play the saphead and
fly, can't put your nickel in the
box and leave the rest to the motor
man, can't park by the roadside and
neck. .,
Flying is a he mans job. 1t is
giving the boys back what their
grandfathers got from the clipper
ship and woody west.
If flying never made a dollar, it
would still be worth the price for its
regenerating effect on human
character.
But it will, make a dollar. No one
can cross this country without real
izing that.
Though still in it's infancy, avia-
ton has gone far enough to prove
its commercial possibilities.
Those commercial possibilities are
all the brighter because of the dare
devil spirit that will be required to
take full advantage of them for
years to come.

New Meaning of Work

XXTORK has a meaning it never
w had before. The same is
true with regard to many phases
of pleasure.
Z The engineer at the throttle Of
an express train gets some kick
out of his job and its faithful per-
Torrance. The man who takes his
family for ride in the evening,
or on Sunday, senses a degree Of
independence, power and speed that
is entirely new.
Fewer rich raen are loaf1ng by
comparison than ever before, and
so are fewer sons of rich men. There
may be more play, but there is far
less idlenesS.
A millionaire in overalls, or a la
boring man on the golf course, has
ceased to be the exception.
Those who could afford to play
all the time are expected to do some
work. while those who had to work
all the time by the code OF fifty
years ago are conceded the right
to some play.
Machinery has done much not
only to make this possible, but to
make it understood.
