The Mnrtpaped Party


While Democrats are rejoicing over the best ma
tional election prospects they have had since the
war and laughing at Hoover's harshirts, they are
forgetting that they are mortgaged party.
The Democratic national committee owes It's chair
man, John j. Raskob, $355,25o. He also is reported
to be on notes for much of the remainder OF Its
$748,l5O debt
. 1t is not necessary to supptse-aS some Repuphcan
opponents would charge in the heat of campaign bat
tle-tha Raskob will use his financial control OF the
party for unworthy purposes We doubt very much
whether Raskob would or could "own" a Democratic
President in the sense that charge usually is made
But even if Raskob were as much spiritual angel
as he is financial angel the present relationship is
one which no sef-respectng party can tolerate long
The relationship is just as damning to Raskob as
to the party AS one example OF many take proh1bi-
ton AS a sincere wet Raskob is trying to persuade
his party to take that position.
But now he can not speak as party leader or
a committee chairman; he speaks-whether he wants
to or not-as the party owner" and the drys merely
point to him to obscure the prohibition issue. On
any other issue it is the same.
The Democrats can not be a national party II
they are content to be one-man party financially.
Some Democratic politicians may forget this, but the
Republican campaign strategsts will not.

sionS, he has not heSitated to lay
off vast number of workers. But
it must be quite obvious to all who
have read the various accounts of
the life and times of Ford that he
is man having no interest at all
in the luxuries or the esthetic rec
reationS sometimes associated with
the very rich.
1t is the possibility Of power which
has kept him so consistently on the
job. There is no record that he
ever cared to drink champagne from
the slipper of a chorus girl. His
thrills come from the chance to is
sue ringing orders to thousands of
men as to what they shall do with
their lives and with their spare time
out of working hours.
The ultimatum that each Ford
worker must establish a garden and
grow certain specified vegetables is
fully in the spirit of the Stain die
tatorship.
Quite bit of nonsense has been
talked of the workers republic"
This is decidedly misnomer. Even
that familiar phrase "the dicta-
torship of the proletariat" falls short
of accuracy. There is no such thing
as dictatorship involving any large
number of people.
Inevitably power must center in
the hands of very few. And final
ly even those few are likely to give
way to one So it always has been,
and so it is today.

Thinking Our Way Out

Labor day proved one thing. The country Is
thinking about unemployment. We may be at the
bottom of our worst national depression but at least
we have progressed to the point where we face facts
That is big gain. If we had faced facts some time
ago we could have prevented much of the present
havoc.
That is what most business men, labor leaders
and politicians who made speeches Monday were do
ing-tryng to understand this depression so that the
suffering may be shortened and may be avoided
"next time"
In general the discussions centered around the
need for advance planning in future industrial pro-
duction and in public works projects. Fortunately
that has become a truism. Others pointed to the
high tariff and prohibition as contributing causes OF
depression and general deficits which, unfor-
nlnately. are not understood generally as they
should be.
Partial remedies proposed by Labor day orators
included:
The fve-day week, maintenance of standard
wages abolition of child labor, unemployment insur-
ance. government economies and a farer distribution
of wealth through increased taxes on the rich

the American Federation of Labor and Senator Har-
risou ranking Democrat on the senate finance COM
mittee agreed that relief must be adequate even If
the federal government has to help the communities
We believe that Senator Borah was voicing public
opinion when he said of the estimated six to seven
million unemployed:
.If the wealth of the country does not contribute
voluntarily to the end that we may take care of
them there is only thing to do, and that is to
feed these people from the treasury of the United
States and increase the income tax. particularly in
the higher brackets to enable us to do it.

The Tax Solution

Efforts of the propagandists for the larger tax pay
ing corporations to cut the city tax rate may be
commendable, but they not directed at the real
cause Of trouble.
No one charges that Mayor Sullivan Is wasteful or
extravagant If there be any criticism, it should
be that he is too conservative with city funds. No
charges that the practices that prevailed in the
old days under Republican administrations are now
in effect and that public funds now used to pay
political debts
Practically all the expenses are controlled by law
or fixed charges. Huge interest bills on bonds form
no small part Salaries of those who actually serve
not exorbitant.
Yet property owners find the tax for government
burdensome
The truth is that real property is not paying the
returns in other days and that taxes may easily
become conhscation.
The same people who are demanding tax
cuts fought any suggestion of income taxes as
means of raising revenues when such proposal was
made last winter. The same forces opposed any
way of forcing on the tax rolls the personal prop
erty or the so-called intangbles.
1t is quite possible for rich men to hide their
fortunes when invested in securities or to transfer
them when movable to other states at tax listing
times It is because the form of fortunes are chang
ing that the real estate owner finds himself in a
dilemma Real estate does not run away.
AS matter of fact it will be necessary to shit
the burden from real estate very soon. The taxes
on industrial plants that give employment to men
should be entirely lifted That might stimulate IN
dustry and help to bring back prosperity.
Even if this sensible thing should be done, there
would still be problems They will always exist until
we fix the laws to fit the changed forms OF wealth.
The real property basis was established in day
when real property and income meant the same
thing. All property produced practically the same
proportion of revenue. That is no longer true.
A straight income tax, with very high rates on
all earnings above the average basis of needs may be
forced by circumstances as it suggested by justice

It's Some Contrast

TINE Russians have a different
l. theory. They are demanding
that everybody do more work, chill
dren included.
Sunday was International Youth
day" in Soviet Russia. Moscow
celebrated it with vast parade of
boys and young men who tramped
through the rain to Red square.
These boys and young men are
members of the Communist Youth
party, with age limits of IA and %
years.
They are being trained to believe
that all they can earn above bare
living belongs to the state and that
it is glorious to earn as much as
they can.
They are being trained not only
to rejoice in work but in the hard
est kind of work. It is their pride
to be known as Stains shock
troops"
Given such spirit on the part
of youth, what country could not
succeed?
1t certainly forms striking con-
trast to the way some of our Ameri-
can boys and girls are pampered
and to the ideas some of our people
have as to the way youth should
be prepared for life.

Outside of modification of the

A Great Discovery

TTERSCHEL could not afford to
Il Il buy telescope and so he de-
cided to build his own.
He became SO engrossed in grind
ing and polishing mirrors and
lenses for his telescopes that his
sister had to feed him as he worked
away on the mirrors.
Before long he had built himself
bigger and better telescopes than
the world had ever seen.
His biggest telescope would be re-
garded as crude and inefficient
instrument today alongside of such
giants as the Canadian 72-inch
telescope or the Mt. Wilson 1O0-inch
telescope. But in its day it was
remarkable instrument and Her.
schel did remarkable work with it.
He launched himself upon as
Herculean a task as ever had been
undertaken. He proposed to make
a complete survey Of the heavens.
His plan was to study the
heavens, section at a time, making
note of all the interesting things
which caught his attention. His
sister acted as his secretary during
this survey, noting down his obser-
vations.
1t was this survey which led to
the discovery of, the planet Uranus.
On March Is, 1881, he discovered an
object which did not have quite the
appearance of a star.
At first he thought he had
stumbled upon comet, but further
observations made it clear that it
was a planet.
Until the discovery of this planet.
the world had only known those
planets which had been known
since the days of antiquity. Her
schel proposed naming the new
planet after King George of Eng
land. Other astronomers wanted to
name it Hersciel. Finally, the
name, Uranus, was agreed upon.
The discovery made Herschel fa-
nous. He was appointed telescope
maker to the king, and in time was
knighted.

We Swallow Fiction

TINE world never knew what
Il prosperity was until it saw
well-paid people steadily at work,
and even then it failed to recognize
the true cause.
Three years ago, we Americans
swallowed the fiction that a political
party was the guardian of our good
fortune.
That having exploded, our bright
est bankers are trying to present
Wall Street as the tin god.
With six or eight million out of
work, however, and with wages be-
ing cut, business shrinks, stocks con-
tinue to fall, and government reve-
nues decrease.

abundant in certain seeds of vege-
table origin, such as the oil of
wheat embryos.
Deficiency of vitamin A interferes
seriously with reproduction, but the
interference is not the type which
results from a deficiency Of vita
min E.
1t may prevent the formation of
the female egg cell or prevent fer
tilization of that cell by the male
cell on implantation of that cell in
the uterus, but deficiency of vita
min E results in destruction of the
implanted cell, which is a specific
type of interference with reproduc-
ton.
Vitamin E is found in many It's
sues of the body, such as the mus
cles, the fat, the pancreas, the
spleen, the liver and the heart. It
is less abundant in liver than in
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-09-08

muscle. 1t is found in the seeds
and green leaves of plants and in
Shellf1sh.
Deficiencies of vitamin E in the
female result in interference with
her function of reproduction,
whereas deficiency in the male
seems to result in actual degenera-
tive changes in the sex organ.
It has been thought possible that
vitamin E is concerned with other
functions of the body, perhaps par
ticularly with certain blood building
characteristics, but upon these sub
jects much investigation is going
forward.
1t must be realized that the first
announcement of the possibility of
this vitamin came in 1928, and that
much remains to be learned beyond
what has been learned in these few
years.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID l)IETZ-

Ne'0 Program for Survey of
UniVerse Interesting IN
Comparison With Earlier
Studies.
A SURVEY of the universe,
4 n ranging from the study Of
some of the nearest stars to the
study of distance galaxies more
than 100000 light-years away,
has been inaugurated by the Har-
ward observatory under the guild
ance of its world-famous director,
DR.. Harlow Shapley.
For the convenience of the reader
who does not have his astronomical
tables handy, it should be said that
the nearest star is four and a third
light years away, or approximately
25,000,O00, 100000 miles, not as close
as one might at first imagine.
A light year is approximately
5000, 900, 100000 miles that is, the
distance covered py a peam OF ngnC
in one year, travelling at the rate of
10000 miles a second.
During the last ten years, the
Harvard observatory has carried on
many important surveys of various
parts of the universe.
These have included studies Of
the star clusters, the Magellanic
clouds, certain regions of the Milky
Way and the so-called clouds of
galaxies.
The Magellanic clouds received
their names from the fact that they
were first noted by the explorer,
Magellan, on his trip around the
globe. They are visible only from
the southern hemisphere of the
earth. To the unaided eye they ap-
pear like two cloudy patches which
have broken loose from the Milky
Way.
Shapley's studies showed that
they were great aggregations of
stars more distant than the Milky
Way.
