and interesting of recent times. Large meetings will be

Real Platforms

Political gossip indicates that the Republican party
in this state will endeayor to become definite in its
promises to the people in the next election, and
abandon the custom of writing platform OF mean
ingless platitudes.
The reason given is the fear that the people are
tired Of plattudes and will demand real remedies for
real evils.

will be compelled to compete in definite promises to
the people and give pledges in return for votes
On two subjects the farmer and the industrial
worker will very properly demand relief One Of
these is the method Of raising taxes. The other Is
the extortions exacted by the public utilities OF the
state.
The party that is silent next year on the utility
question will be in bad way, and any candidate or
party under suspicion Of being mortgaged to these
interests may expect difficulties The old trick Of
pledging fidelity to the Anti-saloon League and the
forces of hooded hate will not in these days Of

The utility question is bigger and more urgent

Of these monopolies is becoming greater than that

The people have more time to think this year. Too

Hot Weather Annetites

Food specialists of the department of agriculture
advise serving Indian curry to tempt jaded hot
weather appetites. Leftovers can be utilized and in
expensive cuts Of meats.
This no doubt is helpful suggestion, if you can
stomach curry.
The problem these Gays, however, is not so much
how to stimulate appetites, but to satisfy them as
they develop without help.
Fortunately, the same specialists have worked on
that problem, too. A family of ten can live week

guide that has been developed. This figures out

Another Opportunity

President Hoover is confronted with another of
rnose nne opportunities that have marked his ad-
ministration.
We do not intend to go into the question of how
he has met these many and varied occasions thus far
Our only purpose at this time to point to the fact
that the President because of the resignation of Henry
p Fletcher his tariff commission chairman has an
other opportunity to fulfill the hopes he expressed
when he signed the Hawley-S moot bill
1t may be that the tariff can be taken out of poll
tics through efficient functioning of the tariff COM
mission. We hope it can. But it is verg doubtful if
this can be accomplished by naming as chairman
yes-man who be swayed by the White House and
congress.
Fletchers appointment as we said at the time, was
not, in our opinion, a good one.
He has served; and, We trust, diligently. Under his
guidance the commission has made reports on tariffs

ManhattanIS Scandal

ZONES Samuel Seabury, chief
~ counsel to the legislative COM
mittee investigating New York
City affairs, with batch of tele-
phone records which would make
any politician glad he is not John
F. Curry, leader of Tammany Hall.
1t all goes back to Horse Doctor
Doyle, who would not tell whether
or with whom he split 100000 in
fees, and who was sentenced to
thirty days in jail for contempt.
Doyle was granted stay over the
weekend by Appellate Justice
Sherman under most peculiar CIR
cumstances. Justice Sherman was
at his Lake Placid summer home,
which is quite a distance from New
York, while other justices of the
appellate court were close at hand.
The telephone records in Mr..
Seabury's possession show that a
call was made from the hotel apart
nent occupied by John r. Curry to
the Lake Placid home occupied by
Justice Sherman the night before
the latter granted Doyle a stay.

EcononYIS Effect

THE President orders another
l. budget cut, hoping to save as
much as forty million dollars.
Looked at one way, it was the log
ical thing for him to do.
The federal government faces a
big deficit. There is no way to meet
a deficit, except by cutting expenses,
or raising taxes.
Still, it is possible to cut expenses,
without throwing people out Of
work, and is that a sound remedy
for unemployment?
If the government wants capital
to loosen up, the best thing it can
do is show the way.
Private enterprise is vastly more
apt to be guided by what the gov
eminent does than what it adj
viseS.

People Voice

Editor The TimeS-In our pres
ent desperate search for courageous
leadership, I can't see how citizens
could suppress their enthusiasm and
fail to express their praise for edi-
torial of July %, entitled Both Are
Right"
It isn't a bit surprising that the
Chamber of Commerce should pro-
pose a reduction of salaries and
wages. 1t always has seemed to be
it's only means of reducing costs to
consumers.
In regards to your editorial views,
it is easy to assume that these in
dustriaf leaders have not made any
efforts to ascertain what portion of
taxes annually is applied to the &C
counts of our utilities and what por-
ton is applied to the salaries Of
governmental employees.
To satisfy my own curiosity, 1
made a survey of the books of the
county auditor in 1929, and to my
amazement I found that out Of the
S0.33 levy for Marion county for
that year, the small sum of 5000
covered all the salaries and wages
paid to its officials and employees.
This fact fully convinced me that
all the taxpayers money is not 60
ing to salary grab, as some people
would have us believe.
To reduce salaries is to reduce
efficiency. Reducing efficiency is
impairing our government.
This axiom also holds good in COM
merce. Our policy should be to
crush monopolies-not the govern
ment.
Allow me to convey my word of
praise for your views.
I honestly feel that the spirit Of
those views must be pursued in or
der to gain a happy and peaceful
solution of otH present situation.

Explosions

ORDINARY matter, such as oc@
~ ours on earth -0r in the outer
regions of the sun or a star, con-
sists of ninety-two chemical ele-
ments. The lightest is hydrogen and
the heaviest uranium.
Each chemical element consists of
different kind of atom. Hydrogen.
is the lightest and simplest atom,
while uranium is the heaviest and
most complex atom.
Prof. Jeans points out that the
atoms ranging from hydrogen to
No. SO in the list are permanent
atoms, while those above that, num-
Der are radioactive, that is, etoms
which are breaking down and ra-
dating energy in the form of rays.
Radium, for example, the most
powerful radioactive atom, is No.
80 in the list.
Prof. Jeans believes that the lucid
atoms are still heavier than ura-
mum. He believes that the radio
active atoms represent a transition
stage between lucid atoms and the
ordinary or permanent atoms.
He points out that the lucid
atoms, being The heaviest, natural
ly would sink to the center of the
star. He believes that the annilila-
ton of electrons which gives rise to
the energy Of the star take place in
the lucid atoms.
AS the electrons are annihilated,
the lucid atoms change to radioac-
tive or permanent atoms and grad
ually rise to the surface OF the star.
The ordinary atoms, in a sense,
are the debris left from the ex-
plosion of lucid atoms.
No lucid atoms are to be found in
the earth, because the earth is be-
lieved to have been formed from
material torn off the outer layers of
the sun, a region where no lucid
atoms would be present.

Young Stars

1T is possible to account for the
l. vast amount of energy con-
Cinuously released by the stars and
the sun only on the basis that cleo
irons. the fundamental particles Of
matter, are being annihilated within
these bodies and their total mass
converted into energy.
Since the energy of star arises
from the humiliation of matter,
the star continuously must be losing
weight. 1t follows further that the
star radiating the greatest amount
of energy must be the scene of the
most rapid humiliation.
Professor Jeans made a table
ranging the different types of stars
according to the amount of energy
which they radiated
AS he points out, it was signifi-
cant that this table did not result
in arranging the stars according to
temperature. In other words, the
hottest stars were not those in which
the greatest humiliation of matter
went on.
But, instead, he found that the
greatest humiliation went on in
tbs most massive stars and the
least in the least massive stars.
Now, if stars continuously are los
ing weight, it follows that the most
massive stars are the youngest and
the least massive are the oldest.
In other words, the stars in which
the greatest humiliation goes on
are the youngest stars.
1t was from this fact that Profess
sor Jeans drew his conclusion that
the interior Of stars consisted of
different type of matter. The Old
stars radiate less energy because
they have less of this matter left
within them.

Doctors and Judges
