ONLY One Question

Demands by large property owners that taxes pc
reduced. and a quarrel between experts, suggest that
there is only one real question involved.
Are public funds being spent for necessary pur-
poses without waste?
The fact that county commissioners are reducing
the salaries Of judges whom they do not like political
" should not be the occasion for unrestrained cneers'
especially when the tax rate remains almost the same
with the elimination of $375YOOO spent last year to
wipe out past debts.
It would be more interesting to discover how many
nrecinct and ward committeeman of the political ma
chine are being carried on pay rolls, giving most OF
their time to politics and little to the public.
The city administration is burdened with larger
interest charges, which take precedence over cost Oh
service.
If there be useless and duplicated Jobs in the city
service, they should be eliminated. Thus tar' little
has been suggested along these lines.
1t would be unfortunate were a demand 1or lower
taxes to result in impairment of service, especially IN
health and park systems, which become more impor-
tant in times of depression than in general prosperity.
Those who attempt to advise public officials con-
corning cuts should be able to show those ofnclalS
that money is being spent w~astefully or for projects
that are not essential to public welfare.

Lon Chaney's Contribution

Lon CLANCY never was one of those movie actors
who quicken the languid pulse of the highbrowS.
No wordy essayist ever wrote articles for the rough
paper magazines expatiating on his art. Visiting
l%novelists never went out of their way to write him
up as they wrote up Charlie Chaplin and Emil
Jannings.
But Lon CLANCY, nevertheless, was supreme in
his own field. AS a character actor he had no equal.
His list of accomplishments in the days of the silent
dlms was extraordinary long, and it just had be-
come evident, before his death, that he was going
to make an equally good record in the talkies.
Most important of all was the fact that he gave
good entertainment to millions of people. He prob
ably furnished more exciting thrills to more different
men and women than any other man in America.
The movie world will miss him sincerely. His place
will not be easy to fill.

Bessemer City

The management Of the American Mills Company
at Bessemer City, N. c., thought they "had to- cut
wages. But their employees didn't believe they we're
under any such necessity.
Other mill owners corroborated the employees
view. So the employees struck. Strange, but the
management discovered, after all, that it did not
have to" cut wages. In fact, it soon became ap-
parent to the management that it had to" put
them back.
Reduced wages are bad for business; they only
make depression worse. Better not to operate than
to operate on reduced wages, for the mill running
at reduced wages only takes &hat business there is
away from some competing concern too enlightened
to reduce wages.
Other industrial managers we'll may take the les
son Of Bessemer City to heart, and, when they are
tempted to reduce wages as the easiest way out of
their difficulties, recognize that the necessity" for
doing so may not be as ~impelling as they first think.
Sober second thought may convince them that the
thing to do is to avoid a course which may cost them
the confidence Of their employees and break the fabric
of national prosperity.

proved by the giving of insulin and
by changing the diet. The work
of the kidney is improved by the
use of sweat baths, which eliminate
materials through the skin and by
a change in diet so as to throw less
stress on the kidney.
In every one of the conditions in
which acidosis develops, attention
must be given to the water ex-
change and it must be seen that the
patient has a sufficient amount of
water to take care of all factors
mentioneda in the discussions Of
water.
There exists also the possibility of
correcting the acid state to some ex-
tent by the use of foods that tend
more toward the alkaline side.
There are many foods which have
valued for this purpose. They in
clude particularly peas, oranges, po-
tatoes, peaches, cantaloupe, celery,
carrots, beets and lima beans. There
are other foods which tend partic-
ularly toward the production of
acid. Among them are bread, eggs,
meats. oysters, oatmeal and RICE.

GRAY Pants or Black?

one thing, at least, the Mooney-Billings hearing
sccononlished. It destroyed the superstition that
election or appointment to the supreme court oench
transforms an ordinary. lawyer into an extraordinary
judge.
When the seven Justices put of their black ropes
of office. it was observed that each Of them' ike any
other man, has two legs.
When they sat down upon the level Oh Inc crown
70 conduct the business of hearing, it was seen that
thev are human creatures, with faults ana virtues anu
nkings and p~reiudices much the same as those Oh
other human creatures.
II M longer was necessary to regard them with
awe and so it became possible to regard them with
understanding.
instead of superior beings, remote, aloof, endowed
with some mysterious quality OF infallibllity' they DE-
came Just seven men sitting at tables.
T. is a most excellent thing that the people should
have obtained this nearer, more intimate view OF thelr
supreme court. 1t is we'll to understand that reSpec'
for law and Justice depends upon the kind of men
chosen to administer justice and interpret law
In all that remarkable proceeding, nothing was
more remarkable than the attitude of Associate Justice
j. E. Richards, as displayed throughout t"e he"i"is
and especially on its closing day.
Mr.. Justice Richards is one of the members OF the
court who signed the original opinion holding that
Billings wal guilty and was properly convicted OF the
Preparedness day bombing. Observers are convinced
that he still clings to that opinion.
Among the evidence was a photograph showing
Mooney, wearing a light gray suit, on the roof OF the
Eilers building at approximately the moment when,
according to the prosecutions theory, Mooney was
wearing a. dark. suit and was with Billings at the scene
Of the explosion, more than a mile from the Ellers
building.
1.-THE coat of MONEYS suit is gray" pronounced
Mr.. Justice Richards, but the trousers are black"
Two professional photographers, called at random
from the courtroom, testified as expert witnesses that
the trousers we're of the same light gray as the coat,
and merely appeared darker because they were in
shadow. Chief Justice Waste. an amateur photog-
rapher for many years, agreed that the trousers were
gray.
It still believe" said Mr.. Justice Richards, that
those pants are black"
Fortunately. it is hardly likely that a majority of
the minds comprising the supreme court of California
can be constituted so that they will insist that light
gray is black. =
Hope for justice to Mooney and Billings, Or to any
litigant before the supreme court, would be dim indeed
if all the members of the court, once having formed
an opinion, we're disposed to shut their eyes, and
stop their ears, and refuse to give weight to any evil
dence to the contrary. no matter how compelling.

If severe acidosis is present, the
person must be kept absolutely at
rest and care must be taken to see
that he is kept warm.
The opposite condition to acidosis
is alkalosis. This occurs very rare
~ and usually because the person
has been taking too much alkalis
or too much baking soda or bicar-
Donate of soda to overcome what he
thinks is an acid condition.
Many people, who suffer OCCASION
ally from ulcers of the stomach or
from hyperacidlty, take immense
quantities Of soda for the correction
of the condition. Obviously alkalosiS
easily can be controlled by cutting
down on the amount of alkalis be-
ing taken both in the form of drugs
and foods.
When alkalosls is due to exces-
sive breathing, such as rarely occurs
in hysteria or nervous diseases or
other disease, the patient may be
given air to breathe which contains
an abnormally large amount Of car
bon dioXide until the system is
brought under control.

DolIar.a-Year Men and Others

They saw Governor Young of the federal reserve
board resigned because he needed the larger salary
he could get outside of government service. This has
revived the old discussion about the inability OF the
government to keep good men, in competition with
business concerns.
Tbs same financial reason is given for the Presi-
dents difficulty in finding good men for the federal
power, the tariff and other commissions.
We are inclined to think this low salary excuse is
worked overtime. It is important in the case of
young men who are kept on a small government salary
for ten years or so. Many such quit. The solution
seems to be a more flexible promotion system for ex-
ceptional men.
But the already successful business man doesn't
have to worry about the size of the salary when he
considers a government job. If he h~esitates to accept
q seat on the, say, tariff commission, it is probably
for some other reason.
Some may be unwilling to expose themselves to
senate debate regarding their confirmation. Some
may not want to sacrifice private investments which
they could not hold in federal Office.
Others know that ability and success in business
may not mean success in government Office.
There is Henry Ford. In business he is a genius.
But on a federal commission he probably would be a
flop.
Tie very qualities of arbitrary power, of acting
first and explaining later, of making decisions for
logical reasons without bothering about human COM
plications, qualities which may make a great business
executive. may make a poor government admins
traitor.
And often the ahest business men lack the tech
nical training required of a public official. The larg-
est exporter or importer may lack the scientific knowl-
edge and impartial temper needed by a tariff COM
missioner.
Even on the legislative side, which makes fewer
technical demands, successful business men have not
always made able senators or representatives. That
is often the case. also, in diplomatic service
Exceptions are men Of the Dwight Morrow type,
who are serious students Of government as well as
business men.
THAT is why the hope Of better federal adlAlnis-

On the traditional criticism that

In fact, much of the campaign

Not Much Silence

CPEAKING of cats, I might as
~ well confess that the light
hearted VOW which I.made just after
my vacation is beginning to grow
a little heavier on my hands.
Only a week ago public assurance
was given by me in this space that
certain matters having to do with
a body called C-ngr-ss would not
be mentioned.
So far it seems to me that the
spirit of the pledge has been faith
fully maintained. And I anticipate
no backsliding in the future.
But bear with me if you will, for
there have been days and there will
be others in which I would quite
possibly prefer to get after candi-
dates rather than cats.

Schools Fall Behind

CONSIDERING the stupendous

enc wonders why they have not re-

Why is the school so far behind

more out of watching a movie for
ten minutes than out of an hours
reading by way Of entertainment.
why can't they get more by way Of
study?
IF we can preserve a lot of nom
sense by means Of films and sound
records, why can't we, and why
won't we. preserve things of greater

We will. of course, and it requires 4,

realize that we will.

MofoniC Maltese

CLOWLY there p%ercolated into the

She crawled under the bed.
That was all right by me. As long

Yet though this cat eventually
got my idea, she did not retain It.
For when I went out to the living

and remained away five minutes she
jumped back into the middle Of the
bed.
And we went through the entire
performance all over again. But

I threw water instead, and this was

Inheritance

DR. MORGAN believes that edu-
- Gators need more information
to enable them to distinguish be-
tween true biological inheritance
and the influence of social and
physical environment. y
AS a means Of arriving at funda-
mental knowledge in this field, he
suggests a comparative study Of the
Negroes of the United States and
Africa.
Purpose of gthis survey would be
to determine how far their interests,
customs, and habits are governed
by heredity and how far they are
governed by the influences Of their
environment.
Differences of capacity and Of
interest which seem almost uni
versal to a race or to a nation can
not be accepted too quickly as be-
ing inherited biologically," he says.
Every one has observed or has
heard of the minor strain of pathos
in Negro character. 1t generally has
been assumed to be Unborn, yet we
are told that this trait is absent in
Negroes at home in Africa.
"The Negro race in America fur
nishes such an unusual experiment
for the study of the nature of in
%terests, customs, and habits that a
comparison of the Negro in Africa
and in America, by qualified tech
nical psychologists, may make great
contributions toward distinguishing
the effects of biological inheritance
from social and other environ
mental influences"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-08-30
Environment

nR. MORGAN believes that
~ highly specialized interest on
the part Of students is due chiefly
to environment and past experience
rather than Unborn traits.
He believes that "a complete lack
of interest in some particular sub
ject is also due to the same inf1u-
ences, rather than to some innate
inability to cope with the subject.
without doubt the college teach
er sometimes discovers variations of
capacity and interest which are in
born" he says. "a student shows
remarkable capacity in physics or
rare ability for English expression;
another has a discriminating mu-
steal ear. But we are strongly in
clined to overrate these Unborn
traits or to miSinterpret our OBJ
Servations.
I'VE are not justified in attribut-
ing mental traits to biological in
heritance unless we understand
them very thoroughly.
ut is the business of educationvto
help students reconstruct their in
terests and bring them into har-
mony with enduring values.
Fine proportions should be the
aim of the student and of the coll
lege. 1t is not enough that VIC
teach students the subjects they
want; we must interest them in the
subjects that are essential to opti-
mum living.
ut is the prime business of high
er education to help the student to
escape from these accidental, COM
mon place interests and to help him
to interests that will secure for his
living and thinking, unity, depth
and enduring significance"

I'm its advance into the unknown,
