The citizen who wonders why the
United States Treasury faces a deficit
of $700, 900 900, why his Federal income
tax this March was higher than a year
ago and ,why.the State continues to i'm
pose an income tax should observe with
interest the figures compiled by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board on
the cost of government in this country.
The figures are for 1928 and the cost
undoubtedly is higher now, but $12,-
SOC, 000.00 is high enough to alarm
those who understand. Nearly $4,000
100000 went out in 10 months to cover
the expenditures of the national, State
and local governments. The rise since
1918 has been 300 per cent. It is cost
ing an average Of $500 family for
Government annually.
These billions go out for many things,
some good, some merely necessary,
many useless or evil: Bureaucracy,
bonuses. doles, pensions. Government
operation, highways, education, sub
sides. graft, legislation. litigation dupii-
cation, dollar-matchin deficits, public
works, politics, shopping, war debts, in

The Hand Phone Charge.

After an unsuccessful effort to con-
vince the Public Utilities Commission
that the present system of charges for
the new type of hand phone5," under
which the subscriber goes on paying in
definitely at a higher rate for them, is
an equitable one, the telephone COM
pany has proposed plan that meets
the major objections and will probably
gain approval. BY this plan the sub
scriber who wishes to have the benefIt
of the new type of phone cen obtain
1t for the payment of the additional
cost the extra payments cessing when
they comp:ns2te the Company for the
equipment. Tfus the extra charge OF
twenty-five cents monthly for the in
stallation of the hard phone will cease
at the end of eighteen months, when
the totsl paid emcunt1 to $3.50. Or, the
subscriber may pay fiat fee Of 81 for
the installation and thereafter pay the
usual rate. This signifies that the
actual extra cost Of the hand phone is
So: the additional fifty cents collected
in deferred payments" or installments,
is in lieu of interest.
This would seem to be fair enough,
the subscriber getting the newer equip
nlcnt for the payment OF an additional
charge, which does not run en- indefi-
nit.ly until it mounts into a large
extra profit for the company. Under
the plan first established. and still oper-
alive, each new hand phone installed
became a source of extra earnings, the
subscriber paying for the equipment in

The Greater CAPITAL movement.


Many months of hard work have
preceded formal announcement of the
detectives and the progress so far of the
Greater National Capital movement,
undertaken by a special group Of citi-
7ens organized by the Board of Trade.
Over half the funds needed to carry
out the first years program ere in hand
before the money-raising campaign has
begun. Everywhere the prcpcscl for
a united effort to attract more visitors
to their Capital and to care for them
adequately while they are here has
brought enthusiastic response. There
is every reason for the success Of a
movement SO carefully planned and
endowed at the outset by a purpose
90 obviously desirable.
Other cities Of the Nation have been
able to bid for industries, capitalizing
their attractions and advantages for
the industrial field is relatively con-
fined. The Federal Government is the
citys chief industry and the nature
OF that industry, as well as the jealousy
guarded plans for development CT the
city as the seat of Government, have
precluded the possibility of great In
dustrial growth along the lines that
have made such cities as Detroit, Pitts
burgh or Los Angeles. washington's
attractions are those of a beautiful
city, located in q region rich in ma
ticnal traditions and owned" by every
American It is the Nations home
town" Fundamentally, the movement
undertaken by the Board Of Trade is
to invite Americans to come and see 1t
for themselves.
The immediate detectives Of the plan
ere outlined by those in charge as the
attraction of more visitors to the city,
as tourists or as delegates to conven-
tions; the establishment of bureaus to
assist them in securing proper accom-
modations and to furnish them with
information designed to add enjoyment
to their visits: to seek more permanent
residents by setting forth the city's
residential attractions to make known
the advantages Of washington as the
seat of headquarters for business and
trade organizations and generally to
cultivate a greater interest in Washing
ton by the Nation at large.
To be successful. the effort must be
adequately financed and prolonged. with
the FIRST years work treated merely as
the foundation for greater activity in
the future. The Board of Trade group
is to be congratulated on the thor
cughness Of its preliminary work and
the absence Of bailyhoo that usually
wears itself out before anything sub
stantisl is accomplished. The cam
paign" has already assumed the char
actsristics Of a permanent institution
in the life Of the city.

Success for
Women Not
Mere Chance

Attacking the 'Iuck or mere
chance" theory of the success Of
women in high executive positions.
Edward A. F1lene in an article In
the March issue Of Independent
Woman" maintains that the win
ming Of high positions for women is
a matter Of careful preparation,
straight thinking, hard work and
good health.
Because business is passing
through some Of the most basic
changes, says Mr.. Filene, women
who carefully study the changing
trends and avoid traditional think
ing viii have definite advantage
over those who fail to follow this
movement, whether their competi-
tors are men or women in the quest
for higher positions.
How can women best fit them
selves to assume new responsible
ties ef1ciently?" Mr.. Filene points
out that this Is vital question to
all women ling for careers in
business, because the employment
Of women in many positions is as
yet only experimental, and failure of
one woman in a position hitherto
untried by women might close down
similar posts for all women.
AS a partial answer to the ques-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ton Of proper preparation, few
Of the possible means Mr.. Filene
recommends are basic training in
schools for business women, sup
plelnented with actual experience,
correct thinking, and study beyond
the position that lies just ahead.
Mr.. Filene holds that one Of the
most pernicious myths that handi-
cap those who aspire to high posi-
tons is the belief that really sue
cessful people Of the world are
super-men and super-women. He
maintains that they are nothing OF
the sort and have only attained
their posts with the price Of straight
thinking, hard work and good health
in proper proportions.
With the fall Of the barriers Of
tradition and traditional thinking,
concludes the article, the future
holds a brilliant promise for women
in business.
