t can be pretty well accepted as f.cs that the sc-cal,ed balloon f1lf ball, adopted this year by tle U. s. G. A., is here to stay, at ast for 1882 and propably indefl- rltely.
 Like any innovation affecting so many citizens, who reserve the con- s.itutional privilege O. squawking loudly and at length, the new 1.68- 155 sphere provoked several mil Ion words of debate.
 Now that they nave been gotten eff the chest, the citizens for the most part have been surprised to discover that the neu ball, after all, is an improvements
 It does not cure a slice or a fev- CT, neither does it go. unerringly for the cup like a grocery .,orse for the barn after a hard aay's lun.
 Nevertheless it is bigger, there fore more hittable, furnishes better lies through the fairWays and be- hayes about as well as could be- expected with proper treatment, wind and weather permitting.
 For these and reasons of state, the U. s G. A. consider good ico has been done whether the Royal and Ancient of Great Brit- ain, Scotland and Ireland agrees with our side or not.
 The complaints against the new ball have been scanned and found most inconclusive or contradictory Experiments with varying sizes and weights have not so far developed a better combination than the pres ent official ball.

Needed: An Economic Council


Senator La Toilette proposes national economic
council His bill is based the report of the pro-
gressve conference committee on unemployment
composed for the most part Of economists 1t recon-
mended creation of q national economic council to
begin the stupendous task of sabilizing production
and consumption.
Unlike certain bankers the committee holds that
this task is not beyond human powers. And unlike
certain industrasts it believes that planning must
be done by a national agency not by groups of bust
ness men primarily concerned with their own we'll
being.
The committee very wisely points out that limita-
ton of output will cure this depression, nor
prevent future depressons, nor produce general
prosperity.
Instead it urges a program OF maintaining, or
even increasing production This perhaps is longer
harder way out of the woods but way that does,
certainly lead out, and not into hidden quagmres
The senate and the house need to exercise their
powers of reasoning on reports such as this.
This is no time to tumble in the welter OF old
partsan ideas 1t is time instead to grasp the fact,
so clearly expressed this report that our economic
system can survive only by exercising our productive
powers to the fullest capacity and that this can be
done only by making consumption of our products
possible at home and abroad

WashingtOn's Example

In these days of dictators, of black shirts, brown
shirts and hair shirts, the example of simple Amer
lean who believed in the rule of the people through
their elected representatives should be an inspiration
AT noon, just 148 years ago, on this 23rd day of
December General George Washington entered Mary
land statehouse at Annapolis to surrender his CON-
mission as commander in-chief of the victorious
Revolutionary army to the continental congress.
He might, with the lifting of a finger, have, an
nounced himself his country's dictator, as some of
his officers suggested. The impoverished army would
have followed him, probably. He Indignantly refused,
and rebuked the suggestion traitorous
THE great events which my resignation de
pended having at length taken place, have the
honor of offering my sincere congratulations to con-
gress and of presenting myself before them to sur
render into their hands the trust committed to me-
and to claim the indulgence of retiring from the
service OF my country" he said instead
Next morning he set out from Annapolis for his
farm on the Potomac. He arrived on Christmas eve
plain Mr. Washington, there to spend the happest
Christmas of his life.

How II Works

The electric monopoly in this city is given a
guarantee OF fair return the valuation Of its
property valuation far in excess Of invested dollars
At the start, it gets away with profit that does
not exist for competitive businesses.
The conferences between its officers and the rep
resentatives of the city have demonstrated that the
charge that the company buys its coal at exces-
sive price from coal mines owned by the holding
company which also the light company is true
The excuse that the price is not higher than
ten-year average is subterfuge. The truth is that
a contract for ten years between the two cor
porations which obey the voice Of the same
master signed only after it became apparent
that coal prices would fall at time when owners
of other mines were becoming desperate in their
search for customers.
The profits of the coal mines and the profits OF
the light company go into the same pocket. BY using
the citizens of indianapolis and their helpessness
to protect themselves the utility insured profits from
its coal mines for long period Of time.
That fixed price of coal became by that very act,
one means of maintaining rates on electricity.
No wonder the utilities killed, under suspicious
circumstances, measure before the legislature which
would have prevented just such secret deals between
subsidiaries of utility holding companies.
The road to justice in the utility field may be
long, but the people learning of the tricks
Of the trade.

about the necessity Of revision Of the unjust Yer
sailles treaty, and about European disarmament as
requisite to peace true. And it is equally true that
the American taxpayer should not be forced to pay
Europes debts while Europe wastes the money due us
on continued armament spree.
But what we going to do about it? Refusing
to play the game, picking up our ball. and going home
will not help
What Senator Johnson and his kind forget is that
we can not quit and go home. For better or for
worse we are in and not get od If Johnson does
not believe that let him recall that the world could
not have had a in 1917 without smashing Ameri-
can interests and dragging us in against our will
Let him view our depression today, which stems
directly from Europe's depression.
The desire to isolate America from the world and
its trouble may may not be pious aspiration But
good or bad it is denial of the basic fact that mod
ern nations interdependent; they rise or fall
together
Hocver's moratorium is recognition of that fact
We hope he will go on cooperating with Europe.
That to the selfish advantage of the United States
But we hope he will do it more effectively in the
future. Now that Europe has a six-month breathing
space before the end of the moratorium the President
in line with congressional and public opinion should
announce that further debt posponement or reduction
will be given only those debtors who prove their good
faith by reducing ornaments jointly with u.s.
Apparently Great Britain and some others would be
glad to accept that kind of American peace leadership

Views of Times Readers

Editor TimeS--To the student Of
economics, who also combines his
studies of economics with a study
OF the Scriptures, these days are
meaningful. Economics is the study
of the laws Of production and dis
| tr1butlon of wealth. These laws are
( natural laws, with invariable conse-
quenceS. All natural laws come
from God. The Bible is an exposi-
ton of Gods plan of creation and
His will toward mankind. Hence
no study of economics is complete
without a study of the Scriptures.
When we consider the number of
people affected, we must admit that
today the civilized world is passing
through the most serious industrial
Crisis ever known to man. This de-
preston has been brought upon the
people because they have failed to
observe Gods natural laws of eco
Monies.
AS IN other great misfortunes. the
innocent must suffer with the.
guilty. Gods fundamental law of
economics is that men must asso-
clate and work together on a basis
OF equality Of opportunity and
responsibility. This law never has
been observed to any considerable
extent.
From this law springs another:
mat all men must be recompensed
Tor their labor in accordance with
the social value of their efforts.
From these two laws combined we
oeouce that wage earners must be
PAID wage in accordance with the
profits of the industry which they
sustain by their labor. In simple
terms, wages should be determined
properly and made a certain per
cent OF the gross profits of the en-
ploying firm.
When this has been done, the
wage earnerS, which constitute a
vast majority of our population, will
be able to Buy back their share of
production, thus eliminating So
called reproduction and DESTROY
ing under-consumption, creating a
steady, normal demand for comrno-
oltleS, placing money evenly in cir
culatlon, establishing business on
SOUND economic principles and thus
making the recurrence of business
depreSsions impossible.
The lack of such system TODAY
is the cause of this and all preced-
ing periods of depression. AS long
as men do not have steady work at

Honeful or DeSperate?

In what state of mind did the committee repre-
sentng the farmers and real estate approach
the Governor with an appeal for conference to out
line program of tax relief?
We're they hopeful or desperate?
If hopeful for relief and knowing that the confer
would be compelled to draft program that the
Governor believed to be reasonable what program
would appear reasonable to the Governor?
The economic philosophy of the Governor, as thus
far demonstrated in his public life, does not suggest
a receptiveness to any new ideas. New ideas are
needed
The whispers of the powerful have been much
potent than the cries of the distressed and the
burdened That farmers are rapidly becoming ten
ants of banks and insurance companies, that the
equities in homes in cities being confscated while
fortunes in other forms of wealth escape taxation,
apparently has not yet impressed him as a social
menace.
The truth is that the powerful groups of
men who camped out in indianapolis during the regu
lar session and killed tax measures that might have
relieved the situation are active today than
then and do not want any special session.
The people know that emergency exists 1t is
here for not only the farmer and the home owner,
but for the worker whose job is gone.
The suggestion that the legislature which is the
only force in the state, be limited to tax legisla
tion we're a special session held, is violent assault
on our theory of government.
The legislature should be called. 1t should be free
to solve other problems if they need solution.
All of which leads to the conclusion that the
committee which asked for aid from the Governor
must have been desperate, not hopeful.

Beware of JingOism

The Hoover one-year war debt moratorium had
to be ratified There was no other way out. me
President had pledged the word Of the United States
The moratorium had been in effect for six months
before congress was allowed to pass upon it formally
The foreign debtors we're not prepared to pay. So,
for every reason speedy ratification necessary.
We regret that this matter was handled by the
President so ineptly Here case in which Hoover
was acting from the best of motives, and guided by
the advice of the experts.
He displayed courage and attempted leadership.
But his laundering methods have destroyed much OF
the value of his moratorium and loosening hood
of Chauvinsm upon the country.
Hoovers first mistake in refusing to propose
the moratorium while congress was IN session last
sprine. His second mistake his refusal to call
congress in special session to pass upon this project
His third mistake was his refusal to link the morator-
ium with disarmament.
But-as between Hoover and Senator Johnson-we
are on Hoover's side in this matter Hoovers mis-
takes however great do not justify the dangerous ap"
neal Of isolation and extreme nationalism made by
Senator Johnson.
Willingly or unwittingly, johnson is arousing
American passions of hatred against foreign nations.
No good can come of that. Unless checked it is the
way to
Whatever happens, America must not so lingo.
There is a war in the Far East today There is the
threat Of war in Europe If American sanity and
patience and wisdom we're needed to preserve the
peace, it is now.
