BUSINESS CONFIDENCE

While business was somewhat
hurt by last falls decline in stock
prices, there has been no real rea-
son for any important business re-
cession. There was just as much
money in the country December 1
after the stock market had reached
bottom, as there was October 1. But
things had happened that affected
peoples confidence.
First. speculators found out that
they had less money than they
thought they had. A good many OF
them gave up some purchases OF
luxuries. AS the stock market has
recently recovered fully a third OF
the losses it sustained, many OIL
these people now feel they are worth
more money than they were three
months ago, and they now have
motive for buying more confidently
And the great majority of people,
particularly those with money
enough to speculate with, keep on
buying necessities about the same in
good times as in bad times.
Probably what caused three quar-
ters of the recent business reces-
sion, was the psychological effect OF
the fall Of stocks on the minds of
business men. They desired to go
slow. Many dealers cut down their
purchases a little, many business
concerns called a halt on new enter
prises.
Such business recessions are al
most invariably short. The Ameri-
can people have way Of forgetting
the losses of the past and going
ahead after a little as if nothing
had happened. People should keep
their minds firmly fixed on the cen
trail facts that a big construction
program by public utilities, private
business, and municipal, state, and
federal governments is about start
ng, and that the wealth of the
country has not been reduced by
lollar. Just as soon as people re-
over their confidence, the industrial
Machine seems perfectly ready to
,perate on full schedule. The Amer >
can people do not long remain :
ound by imaginary fears.

UNSAFE CARS

The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce states that the sum of
100000 will be spent this year by
the motor industry in removing un-
safe cars from the roads. Owners
of decrepit old cars may we'll listen
favorably when they are approached
with propositions to give up their
antiquated old machines.
It is never quite possible to tell
what such a car will do. It may go
back on its driver under the most
critical conditions, and involve its
occupants and perhaps others in
some bad accident. There is not
much economy in running a car of
that type. If one has to pay for re-
pairs enough to keep it running, the
expense would justify the purchase
of a better machine.

New Weapon Found

BIZ Scripps-H oUdrd Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK, April 23.-The fight
TO prevent confirmation by the SEN
ate of Judge John j. Parker of North
Carolina as a justice of the supreme
court took on new turn today when
it was learned that opponents of
Parker planned to make available
to senators opposed to him extensive
data on his conduct of war fraud
prosecutions while he was an assist
ant encouragement under Attor-
ney-General Harry M. Daugherty.
Parker was one of the assistant
encouragement involved in prose-
cution of both the harness fraud
cases and the lumber fraud case,
which resulted in acquittal of all de-
PENDANTS, most of them on instruc-
tons of judges sitting in the trials.
In both cases the judges criticised
presentation Of the prosecution, and
in one it was charged from the
bench that the government attor-
neys had in their possession docu-
ments tending to prove innocence
Of the defendants.
Both the harness and lumber cases
involved E. C. Morse. who was direc-
tor of sales Of the war department
under Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker. In both cases he was exon
Grated.

FREE TAX REIN FOR
LEGISLATURE ASKED

appeared somewhat radical to those
present, Miller pointed cut that it
was provided in the original Indiana
constitution of 1916.
KistIer Is Opposed
First to voice opposition today,
however, was c. j. Kistler (Rep.,
Elkhart), member Of the house of
representatives and candidate for
reelection. He asserted that, in his
opinion, the people generally are
not given to wanting unrestricted
taxing power placed with any gov
ernmental body.
Because his income tax amend
ment has been ruled off the ballot
this year, Senator Miller urged a
constitutional convention as the
quickest way to secure reform.
Painting a doleful picture OF
what happens under the present
system of taxing real estate, Joseph
Bruins, New Albany real estate man.
declared that in his community no
body had built a house for invest
ment purposes in fifteen years.
Edward Barker, manager of the
new City Trust building, urged a
single tax on economic rents.
Would Have Income Tax
Harry Miese, secretary of the IN
diana Taxpayers Association, voiced
approval of augmenting the pres
ent system by an income tax. He
defended the state tax board against
a plea to take away state control
over local budgets.
This plea came from John +.
White, former city councilman and
community club leader, who assert
ed that the present taxing system
penalties prosperity and progress.
State Senator J. Clyde Hoffman,
Indianapolis, is presiding and bust
ness and farm leaders throughout
the state are in attendance. The
hearings will continue Thursday.

HOOvER'S Whip
DRIVES c. 0.P.
toad PARKER
President Is Determined
to Force Nomination
Through Senate.
WATSON RALLIES HELP
Foes of Carolina Judge See
Difficult Task Facing
Them in Battle.

By Scripps-H0WGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, April 23.-With
the powerful influence of the White
House thrown into the fight over
Judge John j. Parker, administra-
ton leaders in the senate today
cracked the whip over Republican
members who have threatened to
oppose his nomination to the SUI
preme court because of his anti
Negro and anti-labor record.
Parker's foes admitted that the
Presidents determination to force
the matter to vote had upset their
calculations, and expressed the fear
that some opponents of Parker
would bow to the demand Of party
leaders.
In a conference with Senator
Watson, administration spokesman,
the President showed he intended
to disregard pleas for withdrawal of
the nomination, and Watson'S
transmission of this message to his
colleagues is said to have rallied
wavering Republicans.
Some senators who have criticised
the appointment for the adverse
political effect it would have in
their states now admit they will
vote to confirm if forced to act in
open session.
Watson is understood to have in
formed the President he thought
Parker could be confirmed under
extreme conditions. Though this
amounted to telling Hoover the
task would be difficult, Hoover did
not bulge from his previous refusal
to withdraw Parker's name.
The nomination will be taken up
Monday afternoon, according to
agreement. Meanwhile, Parker's
critics, with Senators Norris and
Borah in the van, will prepare their
arguments with care. Administra-
ton leaders also will use the time
to good advantage.
Communications favorable TO
Parker have begun to reach mdi-
vidual senators, including requests
for confirmation from various Negro
societies in his home state of North
Carolina and adjoining territory.
The anti-Parker forces say they
will have at least twelve progress
sives, fifteen Democrats and possibly
six Republicans with them to the
end, and they must take their ap-
peal to the administration waver-
erS. Watson expects to get a ma
jority from regular G. o. P. sup
porters and southern Democrats.

URGE PROPERTY
TAX ABOLITION
GilIiom and Cause Offer
Plan to Ease Burden.

Abolition Of the direct property

tuition of excise taxes as means of

Cause and Gillioin also contend
an income tax law may be passed
