The Star Performer

AEQUADE easily was the star
4VA performer. He kept no books
but, according to best recollection
the half million dollars which he
deposited from 1925 to 1881 could be
accounted for only by the fact that
he was forever borrowing from one
friend to pay off another.
He had thirty three relatives to
look after, he told the committee
which kept his nose continually to
the grnidstone, but he stood by
them, as a McQuade should. So
many friends had come to his res
cue that he couldn't recall exactly
who they were, but he must have
paid most of them off, because he
only owes 100000 now.

Life Is ORGANIZATION

MODERN biology, General SHUTS
1VA points out, has developed q
new point of view with regard to
the nature of life which goes be-
yond the old mechanistic point of
view.
Life is not an entity, physi-
cal or other" he says. 1T is a type
of organization; it is a SPECIFIC
principle of central or self-organi-
zation.
II that organization is interfered
with, we are left, not with bits of
life, but with death. The nature
OF living things is determined not
by the nature of their parts. but
by the nature or principle of their
organization.
In short, the quantum and life
seem to have this in common, that
they both behave as wholes.
"A whole is not sum of parts.
or constituted by its parts. It's
nature lies in its constitution more
than IN its parts. The part in the
whole is no longer the same as the
part in isolation.
The interesting point is that
while this concept of the whole an
plies to life, it is according to the
recent physics no less applicable to
the ultimate physical units.
Thus the electron within an
atom is no longer a distinct cleo
iron.
The general trend of the recent
advances in physics has thus been
toward the recognition of the
fundamental organic character of
the material world. Physics and
biology are beginning to look not
so utterly unlike each other.
Hitherto the great gulf in nature
mas IAN between the material and
the vital, between inorganic matter
'ano lie. This gulf is now in proc
ess of being bridged."

SCIENCE
BY DAVID i)lETZ

Evolution Is MoUing Upward
While the Universe Is Run
ming DolOn, Says Eminent
Scientist.
THE theory of evolution is part
4 of the world-picture today, &C
cording to General Jan c. SHUTS,
president of the British Association
for the Advancement of Science.
In recent articles, we have dis
cussed his views of the physical
universe. Let us now briefly survey
what he has to say about the role
of biology in the universe.
1t will be recalled that General
SHUTS pointed out that the ten
dency of modern science was to re-
duce the whole material world to
"curvatures and unevennesses" in
space-time, as the union of space
and time is called.
"Space-time finds its natural COM
pletion in organic evolution" he
continues. For in organic evolu-
ton the time aspect of the world
finds its most authentic expression.
The world truly becomes process.
where nothing ever remains the
same or is a duplicate OF anything
else, but a growing, gathering, crea-
tive stream of UNIQUE events rolls
forever forward"
He points out further that where
as evolution is moving upward, the
universe in general seems to be
running down. This same idea has
been expressed by Sir James Jeans.
famous British astronomer, who
compares mankind to sailor
climbing the mast of a sinking shin.
The sailor is mounting higher and
higher. but the ship, nevertheless.
is going down.

He's Probably Right

THE income tax law originally
Il was intended to equalize the
burden of running the federal gov
eminent as between rich and poor,
but it has been made to serve a lot
of other purposes, and it is going to
be made to serve more.
That is a popularity of any tax.
Lots Of things can be done with it
besides obtaining revenue.
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia
believes that a tax on stock held
less than sixty days would go a
long way toward stopping short
selling, and he probably is right.

He'll Be Tangled UD

MIR. CAPONE actually is in
Iva court, and not as a spectator,
either. He may win the income tax
case which now is being tried, but
some of the evidence being brought
out in connection with it seems
more than likely to tangle him up
with other cases.
You just can't tell what you are
going to be asked when Uncle Sam
gets inquisitive about the sources of
your income, or what you will have
to tell to satisfy him. Neither can
you be sure Of who is listening in,
or what use they will make of it
later on.

Some High Finance

MICHAEL j. CRUISE, city clerk
IVA of New York, has banked more
than 100000 during the last six
years; Thomas M. Farley, sheriff Of
New York, has banked more than
S350,000, and James A. McQuade,
register of Kings county, has banked
more than 100000
Cruises salary never has exceeded
$4,000 a year during that time;
Farley's never has exceeded SIS, 900,
or McQuade's $4,000.
In explaining where they got the
money, all three talked much of
loans, but showed faulty memories
as to names and dates.

Example Of the Govern
ment's Ability to Enforce
Something.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9. = Ray
1 Tucker reports a high govern
ment official as pointing out" that
the banking situation is not so bad
as impressionable people might in
fer from the Hoover program.
You can't read some of the evil
dence recently brought out before
the legislative committee investi-
eating New York city affairs with
out suspecting that this official is
more than half right
However seriously the depression
may have affected others, it does
not seem to have interfered with
the income or borrowing capacity
of certain Tammany leaders.

Mans Income His Soul

MOST every one is willing to ad-
1VA NIT that money has become
the ruling passion. if not the ruling
power, in these United States, but
it took the income tax to prove it.
When you, get to a mans income
you get to his soul.
The dollar has been converted
into a tattle-tale.
The record shows that it is COM
paratively easy to get away with
crime, no matter how heinous, if
the cash profit is reported properly
If the cash profit is not reported
properly, look out.

A Shining EXAMPLE

DEING somewhat pressed for rev.
- enue, Uncle Sam naturally is
interested in this testimony, and if
Cruise, Farley and McQuade haven't
been very careful in making out
their income tax returns, they are
headed for some protracted sessions
with the treasury department.
Curious as it may be, the income
tax law stands forth as a shining
example of the governments ability
to enforce something. If you don't
believe it, ask "Scarface" Al Capone.

Your Water Dollars

IOuT water
Out of every dollar paid in indianapolis
for water, approximately "a cents is shipped
down to Philadelphia to Clarence Gest and
his relatives.
In addition, the people pay interest on
the twelve millions Of dollars worth of bonds
issued from time to time for the purchase
and construction of the water system.
That all extensions of the plant are paid
for by bonds sold to the widows and
orphans" of the nation is indicated by the
fact that the bond fotations increase about
as rapidly as extensions are required.
In four years, the total water bond issue
on which the people of this city pay the in
terest has increased about two millions of
dollars Minus charges for selling these
bonds, this is about what has been spent for
new mains.
The city UNDERWRITERS the interest
charges on these bonds. The peculiar con-
tract with the city for service to its fire plugs
calls for flat fee and per cent interest on
the cost of mains. The mains are paid for by
borrowed money. The citizens are taxed for
their cost. The profits go to Geist.
There is an issue of five millions of dol
lars in common stock, held, according to COM
mon report, by Geist and his immediate rela-
tives.
Just what the consideration was for those
five millions is one of the mysteries Of high
finance. Geist would probably be fired from
the utility lodge if he put in real money.
Utility barons do not countenance any such
foolish practices as putting up their own dol
lars to dig mains, erect electric wires, put up
telephone poles or doing anything that would
represent any investment Of their own cash.
The public" is permitted to furnish the
money for the actual construction and the
communities guarantee the interest.
Last year Geist took out of this city
$1,225,O0 as dividends on this common
stock.
He did this because utilities had per-
suaded the courts that they were entitled to
collect on what it would cost to reproduce
their plants, not on what had been spent in
their construction.
On that basis these utilities and especial
ly the water company, capitalized the great
WAL. Iucy nave CO4ISCCSu dIlO dlS oClI wi
lecting on the inflated values that came with
the vast destruction of men and materials.
Now prices are debated. 1t would cost
about 60 per cent of the money that would
have been needed prior to the stock market
crash of 1929 to rebuild these plants. Had
the drift gone the other way, the company
would have been in for an increase of rates.
But despite the fact that a public service
commission is presumed to guard public
rights, there has been no cut of rates since
thousands of men were thrown out Of work
and the price of IRON, steel and copper went
to the cellar.
SO it happens that Indianapolis pays Geist
more than a million dollars year for per-
mission to live.
Every homeowner, every business house,
every factory helps to carry this burden. 1t
is partly responsible for the inability of
many to pay rents. 1t is partly responsible
for the loss Of jobs.
The time is overdue for real, united
effort to reduce the rates on electricity and
water, twin necessities of modern city life.

CAPTURE OF POELCAPELLE
October

October 8
ON Oct. 9, 1917, Field Marshal
" Haig captured Poelcapelle in
Flanders and advanced two miles
northwest.
Field Marshal Haig's operations
extended over a front of ten miles
The French on the north pierced
the German position to a depth of
mile and a quarter, capturing
the villages of ST. Jean de Mangel-
acre and a northern hamlet of
Veldhoek, with numerous interven-
ing concrete redoubts.
This operation put the British
and French within long-range gun
shot of Roulers and gave them the
principal heights of the ridge COM
manding the plain Of Flanders.
With the advance on this date
it became geographically, if not
strategically, obvious that another
drive of similar magnitude would
unlock the Germans front from Blk
schoote to the sea. Such q drive,
however, did not at once occur.

Is there a singing mouse?

The singing mouse has been I'M
mortalized by Emerson Hough who
wrote about these peculiar little
animals that make sound that
resembles singing. Much has been
written about them, and the fact
that they do sing is supported by
the evidence of trustworthy Wit
nesSes. Mice are unquestionably
fond Of music, but it is not fully
determined whether their ability to
make it is normal or is an individual
so far as to assert that it is due
popularity. Some writer's have gone
so far as to assert that it is due
only to a diseased throat.

ployes If police and firemen's
wages are reduced, and each has a
telephone and they would order
their phones taken out and do away

hurt some other business?
Can not the people see that if
money is spent, it means better
times. The trouble right now is
that people who have money are
afraid to spend it. If have money

it done, thereby giving some one a
job.
If I have money and the home
need repairs, and think I will wait
and have it done another time

keeping that money out of circula-

Wake up citizens, spend money,
give jobs to the jobless, keep wages
where they are. That is what our
President is asking. He is begging
employers not to reduce wages, yet
Mr.. Gardner and Mr.. Book of the

reduced.
Let them take the reduction. If

NIGHT SESSIONS
OF COURT Will
SPEED JUSTICE
Criminal Judge Announces
important Cases to Be
Heard First.

Announcement of drastic revisions
In criminal court administrative pro-
cedure, including trial of cases in
night sessions, was made today by
Democratic Judge Frank P. Baker.
Following conferences Monday
With Police Chief Jerry E. Kinney,
Detective Chief Fred Simon, and
Prosecutor Herbert NJ Wilson,
agreement was reached to bring
speedy justice to all criminal cases
OF first Importance by delaying cases
Of lesser Importance, Baker said.
Starting next week, night sessions
will be inaugurated, with trial of
more than sixty blind tiger cases
brought before Baker on appeal
from criminal municipal courts.
Relieving Of the crowded criminal
court docket, on which more than
300 undecided cases arc written, is
the chief aim in starting night ses-
sions, Baker said.
Under Bakers new plan, jury
trials, which ordinarily consume a
greater part of the courts time,
will not interfere with the regular
disposition Of other cases. Baker
said that when jury cases are be-
ing tried, night sessions will be reg
ularly invoked.
Chief Kinney, Simon, Wilson and
have agreed to halt all the usual
unnecessary delay in bringing crimi-
nails of major Importance to trial.
Regardless of our regular calendar,
trials meriting immediate attention
will be brought up first, all others
being set aside in order Of their inl-
portance," Baker stated.
