mo Work. No Food"

Conservative forces of the state should at once
protest against the unbelievable statement that the
Hoover unemployment relief agencies in this state
have adopted the policy of mo work. no food"
1t is exactly because men are unable to find work
that there is any need of relief.
1t is exactly because of the failure Of any other
policy of the administration to relieve the economic
situation that private and public charity have become
burdensome to the point that it is now proposed to
starve the victims of unemployment into peaSantry.
The general outline of the plan is that any family
that does not take advantage of small gardens this
summer expect no food next winter.
The garden plan has its good points-and its in
evitable evils.
These gardens if universal, would drive out Of
business the farmer who now lives by the growing of
vegetables.
1t means addition to the unemployment situa-
ton and an aggravaton of the farmers troubles. 1t
is another layer to the SNOWFALL.
In times Of famine it may be fine plan. But the
country not suffering from any lack of food 1t is
suffering from the lack Of jobs for industrial workers
and purchasing power in cities and farms that
will put back to work.
The garden plan in the last analysis, is trek back
to the days of hand labor to primitive standards of
living to the abandonment of the machine in industry
1t is return to semi-savagery
Highly improved farm machinery, especially power
machinery for vast production of food. To
force each city worker find no job to raise
his food must be followed by equally insistent
demand that each farmer make his own shoes and
his own clothes
This Indiana Interpretation of the Hoover relief
policy must have been mistake No engineer with
scientific mind could have contemplated such
travesty.
And certainly no man with a heart could have
ever invented slogan mo work, food" in a situa-
ton where men are unable to find work
The big hunt in still for jobs and jobs that will
pay enough to buy food from those whose bust
ness it is to raise food
The time is here for every American citizen to
demand his inalienable right to work and to work at
saving wage.

The PEOPLE PAY. of Course

When Public Service Commissioner Cuthbertson
again turned deaf to the petition of the people
of this city for lower electric rates, he added
necessary evidence to the public that the people have
no chance under the present politically controlled
commission.
Mayor Sullivan pleaded in vain that Cuthbertson
had misunderstood he might have added with
deliberation"-the petition of the city for action
The city had furnished names of coal dealers who
might possibly testify to the nefarous practices of
the company in the purchase of coal from its town,
dealers who would fear reprisalS by the banking
friends of the utility if their names known.
These names had been promptly delivered by Cuth
bertson to the newspapers and by inferenta charge,
to the utility. This utility, with its INSCRIPTIONS
agents. can now be depended upon to properly terrfy
these dealers.
The city had called attention to the fact that the
company used an entirely different set of figures in
its report to the commission from the used to
sell stock to the public.
1t will not be the purpose Cuthbertson to justify
the commission reports and aibi that he has no in
terest in any apparent imposition on the public in
stock sales.
The important fact of all is that Cuthbertson had
assented to a. 20 per cent cut of rates in Marion,
where rates already lower than those in In
danapolis. upon the ground that debated prices OF
labor and commodities demand cut in rates.
BY that declaration, the rates in this city should
have been Immediately reduced The people are en-
titled to relief now not before industries have been
bankrupt and real estate values confscated by the
extortions of these utilities
The truth is that the utilities dominate the gov
eminent of the state They have controlled the legs-
latures by their Hobbies. They have controlled Gov
ernors by their contributions They control puppets
by their control of appointive jobs.
The people pay and pay and pay

Tax Alternatives

One of the amazing aspects of the tax fight in
congress is that defends the general sales tax
All admit that it is bad tax, inefficient and unjust
The best that advocates can say for it is that it is
a necessary evil They favor it not because they like
it. but because there choice in the matter. The
federal budget must be balanced and there other
way to do it-so they say.
This kind of argument sounds plausible enough,
but in our Judgment it will not stand close in
spection.
There are two ways to balance a budget One is
TO increase income the other is to cut outgo. Both
methods must be used. But in hard times, an indt-
vdual or corporation government finds it diff
cult to increase income and therefore must rely first
on reducing expenses.
In this emergency neither the administration nor
the house Democratic leaders who have written this
general sales tax BILL have exhausted the possibility
of federal economies. To take only one outstanding
example savings of many millions be made in
military and naval equipment and in merging the
war and navy departments in the interest both Of
efficiency and economy.
Having reduced by economies the amount neces-
sary to be raised there are several methods other
than general sales tax which can be used to get
the money 1t is true that the income tax will not
produce enough revenue in this time of low incomes
to balance the budget
But it also is true that an increase in the income
tax rate to wartime levels opposed by the admins
tration and by the Democratic authors Of the general
sales tax would make up part of the shortage.
Then there is the luxury tax If there must be
sales tax of some kind in this emergency and We
think there must be- all of it can be placed on lux
uries and none on necessities.
Until the possibilities of a luxury sales tax have
been exhausted it is unreasonable as it is unjust
TO place a special tax on the things essential for
survival of the poor man and his family
Nor should the mdch-ridicuIed idea Of a beer tax

Presidential Referendum

When Senator La Toilette says that under exist
ing conditions the people of this country have no
effective voice in selection of candidates for the pres
dency, he states truth that long has been recog-
nzed by men of both political parties but too sell
dom discussed.
The Republican convention probably is going to
renomnate Herbert Hoover next June because it can
not help itself, not because it wants to- Hoover is
perhaps, the most unpopular Republican politician
in the country today
But ESQ of the delegates at the convention will
come from southern states where there are few Re-
publicans except federal Office holders. They will
vote, beyond doubt, for Hoover.
Over the remaining states except the thirteen
in which presidential primaries will be held. the
credentials committee holds the whip hand AS long
as Hoover controls the machinery of the party this
committee can be constituted as he wishes and can
seat whatever delegates it sees fit.
In 1912 the Taft forces unseated Just enough Roose-
vet delegates to get control of the convention and
to insure denomination of the President That is
why nc candidates have announced themselves this
year III opposition to Hoover. They have no money
to throw away at time like this
La Toilette proposes simple and obvious remedy
He would call nationwide referendum for June z,
at which voters might go to the polls and state their
choice for the nominee of their party and thus in
fuence the conventions. The states then, if they
choose, could make this popular preference manda-
tory upon their convention delegations.
For the first time in the history of this country,
the people would be allowed to play real part in
selecting a chief executive.
1t is hard to think of any arguments that might
be presented to free people in opposition to this
plan. If either party in congress believes sincerely
in democracy and sincerely wants to present as it's
candidate man approved by the electorate of the
country it will help La Toilette get his bill through
congress quickly.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

XXTHILE I can not speak with authority about
w the flesh and blood boys, certainly the stall
wart moving picture heroes growing more gener-
GUS with the ladies. 1t is very fine spectacle indeed,
to the way in which they are ready to forgive and
forget
To be sure, good many complaints are made
about the immoral trend of certain films hear
mothers complain frequently about Joan Crawford
and Norma Shearer, and the bad influence they must
have upon girls, because they often portray upon
of virtue.
But they ignore the fact that in these same films
the sleek-haired and popular male idols who play
opposite them always ready to overlook shady
past and that the fadeout finds the two claSped in
a loving embrace.
THE last OF. such pictures have seen was THE
Il Shanghai Express" through which "slinked" the
naughty Miss Dietrich dressed in startling costume
If cocks feathers She had, gathered, sunk
rather low in the social scale at Shanghai-and in
Shanghai it is said can sink very low, indeed
out notwithstanding all that, the handsome English
doctor, after struggling forgave and took her
back, and led to think that they would march
straight to the parson as soon as they left us.
OF course extremely doubtful whether live
man would be so kindly natured tolerant of past
misdemeanorS But we must not forget that these
pictures which show up women who are little care
less about their behavior also show us men who are
fare more forgiving than men ever have been since
the world began.
These films may be insdious propaganda for loose
living, many contend but they also are propaganda
for more generous and humane attitude toward the
srring ways of women And that my friends is some
thing IN social order that always has been rather
harsh this point.
Before we condemn the heroines utterly, let us
give three cheers for the moving picture boys who
are setting such high example of Christian char
lty in their roles

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Germ Is Proof of Presence of T. B.

The conclusive diagnosis of the
presence of tuberculosis is made TO-
day Ivy the finding of the germ of
the disease.
However, through humping of
the chest to discover changes in
the sounds, listening with the
stethoscope to determine the pres
ence of new sounds during breath
ing and the existence of cavities
and through the use of the X-ray,
it is possible frequently to make a
diagnosis even before germs are
found in the sputum.
When the diagnosis of the dis
ease is made, treatment consists
primarily in rest, adequate in nutri-
ton and special methods devel-
oped for putting the diseased lung
at rest.
Even more important perhaps
than the treatment of the well-de-
veloped case of tuberculosis is the
development Of preventoriums where

culosiS exists and who are them

nR. HRDLICKA is of the opin-
~ ion that further excavations
must be made before the villages of
Kodiak island can be dated. He is
positive, however, that they are ex-
tremely old.
According to all indications"

the far north. Not a trace of a
white man, wood reduced to streaks
of formless brown rot. and the con-
siderable filling in of the dwelling
depresSionS, with subsequent burials
IN these by later natives, all point
to the conclusion that the site is
prehistoric and that its occupation
extended for a relatively long time
backward.
1.-THE deposits show several strata
and may be the result of repeated
occupation.
This culture presents consider
able age and individuality, yet it
shows close relations on the one
hand to that of the Eskimo and on
the other to that of the northwest
coast.
1.-THE skeletal remains appear to
resemble those of the eastern
'Aleut,' but show also other inter-
esting characteristics. The re-
mains show numerous and unmis-
taxable signs of long continued can
nibalism."

People, Voice

Editor Times-Only few years
ago we were hearing of the Won
ders of the new captalism'-as if
capitalism could be anything but
itself! The new capitalism" &C
cording to its prophets, was on the
verge of regenerating mankind.
There was to be peace. prosperity,
and plenty of all.
Made possible only by the export
Of surplus American capital on a
large scale into markets from which
it never can be recovered, this new
capitalism" took on the most ge-
NAL and expansive of airs. 1t con-
Quoted itself as if the millennium
were just around the corner, or
even, in some cases, as if it already
had arrived. Labor and capital
were just two big brothers-just
that and nothing more.
But now behold the difference!
The strange brotherhood is dis
solved, and capitalism appears again
in its old guise as a determined
and ruthless exploiter Of the work
ers. Through a thin veil of relief
propaganda, it is to be seen once
more grinding workers to the bone
And while it fights vigorously at
Washington to plumber the treasury
of subsidies for its banks, railroads
and other great corporations, it is,
at the same time, battling no less
vigorously against every proposal
for scientific and effective relief Of
the worker.
Save our profits" is the cry Of
a united owning-clasS, while mil
lions of workers starve. Let the
workers protest, anG Immediately
the capitalists begin to talk of self
help" or organize fruitless and
silly campaign for zone million
jobs" which they know from the
beginning is foredoomed to failure.
Now the war against the worker
is out in the open, and no amount
of futile job-finding campaigns can
conceal it. The betrayers of organ
lied labor who ally themselves with
such movements, bear the true
mark of Judas. and deserve inme-
date reputation by the workers
they profess to represent.

We Need Business

r EFT us quit wondering whether
IL Bolshevism will succeed and
pay more attention to the improve
mentS Russia is making.
Those improvements mean trade.
regardless of the political system,
trade such as we want and need
trade that is an essential factor of
recovery.
We are reading altogether too
much about the differences between
this country and Russia. We are
not reading enough about what the
two have in common.
Savages can fall out over mere
opinions, but wise men can work
and live happily together in spite
of them.
We have been displaying more
Savagery than wisdom. That is one
thing which hurts business, espe-
cially with other countries, and
more especially still with Russia.

In the same paper in which Rob-

Trade Sacrificed

WE have closed our eyes to the
w economic potentialities of
Russia for the sake of showing po-
litical spleen.
Instead of looking after the trade,
we have preferred to shudder over
pamphlets and speeches.
Instead of talking about credit
and media of exchange, we have
wasted our time on social and DO
litical theories.
A strange role for Yankee-land
which has prided itself on closing
two sales where only one was
closed before.

cred by a Communist during the
last ten years, our so-called conserv-
atlves, standpatters and patrio-
teers have Spouted a dozen.
