Indiana Coal

In the expenditure of state funds certainly no OBJ
lection be found to the suggestion in bill before
the legislature that Purdue university be given a
small to investigate the Indiana coal situation
The project would be scientific in its nature 1t
would set at work the trained minds of the univer-
Sity to finding out just where and how the great coal
deposits of the state can be best used
The state has these huge deposits of coal. Yet
the industry has suffered. The blame does not rest
altogether on protracted quarrel between the OPP
orators and the workers.
There is strong reason to believe that the funda-
mental cause of the trouble in this industry which
should be of the greatest in the state is the be-
lief that the coal Of Indiana is not as good as that
of other states, that it produces smoke that it
is less economical
There are thousands of men whose livelihood de-
ponds upon the operation of the mines. There are
hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in those
mines.
If both jobs and dollars have been sacrificed to a
cruel and baseess SANDER the best way to dispe that
handicap is report from scientific investigators upon
the facts.
There is no reason to believe that Indiana coal
differs greatly from the fuel produced in other states
It may require different treatment
This is not a measure for the coal industry. It
is an Indiana measure. Dollars spent for scientific
inquiry wasted. This particular enterprise
might easily mean new era of state prosperity.

To the Bottom

Every incident in the building of armories
Of the state should be probed, and there is now
some hope that the investigation viii be made
This state needs no privately owned and
privately conducted army for its defense. 1t
needs no professional patriots who profit from
their flag wavings.
It may be legal, but there is at least some
question of propriety in the fact that IN the
indianapolis armory, the former Governor and
the present adjutant-geneal signed themselves
as owners Of the lot on which the armory IS
built and then proceeded to lease the property
to the armory board Of which they were mem
bers.
The lease, on its face, is suspicious When
jackson and Kershner, as owners, sign WIN
Jackson and Kershner as armory officials, the
matter does not look exactly kosher.
It is yet to be explained why the bank Whlch
received commission for selling bonds placed
in its leases a provision that it should "deslg-
nate and approve" the necessary insurance
policies That looks like picking up the last
pennies of profit.
Had there been any increase In the national
Onar0. had the new dIIlUllCo ASH0SAO"NN 80
70 the colors of the youth of the state, had there
been any perceptible growth of enthusiasm tor
military training, much might be forgiven
But no such claim is made. Nor could 1t be
supported.
The big fact behind the whole AFFAIR IS 'na'
it was carried on despite legal warning IRON
the attorney general that the so-called purchase
leases were illegal except for two-year pay
ments. that the state could not be obligated
that the whole scheme was beyond the law
except for renting buildings for tWo-year
period. =,
Yet nearly two millions of dollars worth OIL
bonds were issued The attorney general kne"
of but one project when there were twenty
The bonds were sold as exempt from taxation
on the most informal opinion
The whole transaction should be disclosed
It may have been very patriotic effort. And'
again. it may have been very profitable one.

Their Masters Voice

Inability Of congress to consider the prohloltlon
question sanely and to vote on it independently OF
politics and bullying reform leaders again is Illus
trated by the progress of the Harris amendment 10
appropriate an additional s24oo0OOo for enforcement
President Coolidge, Secretary Mellon, President
Elect Hoover and lesser officials do not want congress
to vote the money. This large sum, suddenly made
available could not be used advantageously the ad-
inistration informed congress. Instead increase
of $2,72700O was asked.
But the Anti-Saloon League and other reform
groups believe they know more about enforcement
than the men entrusted with it. and insist that the
larger sum be provided.
AS a consequence, congress finds itself In an ap-
pareny hopeless deadlock in enacting the important
deficiency appropriations.
The first deficiency bill, to which the Harris amend
ment was attached. was allowed to Gle in confer
ence The house persistently refused until Monday
to take record vote on the amendment, anxious TO
avoid giving ofense 10 either the administration OF
the resormers. Dry Democrats forced the issue.
Meantime. the second deficiency bill had been

tated ell over again in the senate.

Beauty Surgery

American highbrows never tire of poking fun at
the Puritansm of the United States. The idea is not
original There is much to be said for it.
Certainly the kaiser never had anything on us
when it came to suppressions and verbotens. If we
had devoted half much energy to temperance as
to prohibition, we would have finer nation. If we
labored education and less on censorship,
we would have cleaner nation.
But the idea that America has monopoly on
this puritan business is a joke.
Great Britain, famous for it's Hyde Park soap
boxes and its liberalism, just has suppressed three
books to our grounds.
Hungary home of rhapsody and gypsy love- has
prohibited pettng in pubic.
And Paris, that sedate and gossipy town which
takes its sin vcariousy through American tourists
has found new fields for Puritans to conquer 1t
seems that certain French ladies not much in
terested in having their faces lifted their ankles
reduced. This involves the heroic process of renov-
ing slice of flesh from the offending member
But the surgeon is not always lucky. In the case
of young woman, gangrene developed and the leg
had to be cut off. She sued the surgeon. The Paris
court was not content to award her damages 1t de-
creed that such beauty operations are illegal

Reason

" MOVING full fell that Mr..

his position, a number of people are
doing little advertising by Offering
him $4,000 a year to manage their
institutions.
We are glad that Indy is to be
the air adviser of the next admins
tration and there's no doubt he will
be worth more than all the hot air

The house of representatives at
washington passed bill to defray
the expenses of Gold Star mothers
who desire to visit the graves OF
their sons in France and now the
bill goes to the senate, where it
should be amended to provide to
send the fathers as well.
Almost 100000 Americans spend
their lives abroad, but they still love
their country. In fact, nothing but
a corkscrew could pull them away
from it.

Utility Regulation

The bankers have protested against placing hold
ing companies under the public service commission
That probably will insure the passage OF the meas
ure by the legislature.
For once the bankers are probably rlght not lor
the reasons they suggest, but because the neaSuie
is worthless and unnecessary
THE present utility law would protect the pubic
were it's enforcement in the hands OF men VINO nave
regard for the rights of the public
There is only one question which can ever De
raised in any case before the commission.
That is whether the utility gives decent service at
fair rate.
Whether the money it earns goes to private sCock"
holders or to some corporation which controls the
stock is not very important
The commission should investigate, and could
il wished discover just where every dollar OF every
utility company comes from and where 1t goes. Inc
people are interested only in knowing that no ooars
taken from them are hidden by secret charges IN
unexplained legal expense in extortlonate ices 1or
imaginary service.
Control of the holding companies VIII not ala IN
this discovery 1t will be easy to hide skuduggery
in holding companies as it has been IN the u'ii'ieS
if there has been any fast work
The only problem or utility regulation IN this state
is the naming of men on the commission who have
the same regard for their duty ana VINO WISH 70 pho-
tect public interest.
The whole trouble has been that the commission
has not received or merited public confidence Inere
has been too much reason to believe that II mas
PLAYED politics. collected funds directly or indirectly
for political purposes has been under the dctaon OF
utility lawyers.
Instead of new laws what is needed are a few new
faces on the commission honest, Square-jawed faces
and beneath them hands that reaching for facts
and nothing else.
