THE PASSING OF ALBERT
THOMAS

Perhaps no Frenchman has been
better known among American trade
unionists than Albert Thomas, who
passed away a few days ago.
Thomas, who began his career as
very much of radical, became what
most people term conservative as he
grew to power in France.

Texas and Alaska

Texas, with 265,S9e square miles, is
less than half the size Of Alaska, with
586. 400 square miles. But Texas has
almost 100000 people and Alaskn
only 10000. An even more amazing
discrepancy between area and popula-
tion Of Alaska and state Of the Unit
ed States Is the case Of Rhode Island,
which Is one-four-hundred-a
tieth Of the size Of Alaska, with 1,24S
square miles, but has over 100000 peo-
pie, and hence ten times as much pop
uIatiOn.

There has been powerful LOBBY

Organized labor has consistently
fought for government ownership and

~ Where with ear
We tell the truth
about many things. Sometimes pre-
foundly, sometimes hippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Owen D. Young, who has been
doomed as presidential possibility,
says:
eve can hardly overthrow the
whole capitahstic system merely be-
cause it isn't at the present time
functioning to the greatest advantage
Of all concerned"
Naturally, Mr.. Young is correct in
what he probably means, but he is
not correct in what he actually says.
We "can" overthrow the capitals
tic system, if that is proper desig-
nation, for any reason or for no rea-
son. Whether we should do that is
another matter.
Sensible men and women will say
we should not There are plenty who
say we should.
Those who say we may have revo-
lutionary trouble on our hands by
next winter are found among all
kinds of people. The number Of
prophets of trouble grows.
In New York city there are about
100000 FAMILIES living on $2.6s
per week per family. Picture that!
And yet the prophets of disaster are
less numerous among these poor peo-
pie than among professional men.
One New York school child refused
food few days ago, saying at isn't
my turn to eat today"
A mechanic who has had no work
for eight months and in whose fam.
lily there are ten children refused te
take scab work.

zled.
Who knows? And who knows wher
there will be grumbling, and worse !
America has never seen such days
such puzzles and such uncertainty fol
the future
1t is reported that the cost of liv.
ing is some POI per cent below 1925
levels, but that doesn't mean a thing
to the thousands of families in which
no wages are earned.
Some learned engineers-the Boarc
of the American Engineering Coun
Gil to be exact-say there is too widc
a spread between the wages of skilled
trades and the wages of the multi.
tudes of unorganized workers.
True enough but the remedy and
the ONLY remedy, is to RAISE the
miserable pittances called wages
earned by the unorganized.
We must have FUNDAMENTAL
readjustments before things can be
all right.
"Five-and- girls must get more
wages, and the Woolworth heirs less
in dividends. Bank clerks must get
more and bank stockholders less.
Superstructure of financial paper
must give way to decent wages.
Corporate greed must give way tc
human well-being.
Owen D. Young is right enough il
what he means and he would doubt
less agree that we must have far
reaching readjustments. To have q
revolution would be a sad exhibition
of human ignorance.
The trouble is that in this vast
complexity which we call a system
few have any idea of how the thing
works. Few know where to start
making readjustments.
Those who have a good view OF
what is going on will do we'll to use
their brains now. High finance will
do well to come off it's high horse
Congress will do we'll to think less of
elections and more of social welfare

Freaks On Bill
At Fox Imperial

Presenting weird collection OF
side-show curiosities and a plot
that deals with the personal lives
of these unfortunates, Freaks -
which will be shown for the last
times tonight at Fox Imperial
theatre, is the type of picture that
leaves those who see it talking for
several days. ...#....
While there is certain morbid
ness about the plot, and its char
acters, considerable comedy helps
relieve the strain and the picture
does not leave the audience dis
satisfied as some critics of it have
asserted.
The pricipal roles are in the
hands of well-known film stars,
such as Leila Eyams, Olga Bacla-
nova, Wallace Ford and Roscoe
AteS.
The Siamese twins, bearded lady,
the bird girl, the fire-eater, the
sword-swallower the living torso
and others are given prominent
places in the plot of the picture.

BRITAIN'S LOST
SUB is LOCATED
M-2 Rests Near German
U-Boat in Channel.

By United Press
PORTLAND, England, Feb. A.
Divers studied plans for raising the
submarine M-2 today, discovered in
the wreck-strewn Dead Mans bay,
lying alongside German U-boat
sunk during the World war.
The M-2 had been missing since
Jan. 26. Rescue vessels had worked
over the area where she was found
many times, but the sweeps had
brought up only submarine signal
flags.
The cause of the disaster had not
been determined nor had divers
learned how many of the sixty men
aboard the submarine when she
dived for the last time still were
inside.
The M-2 was found about So
miles off Portland bill, where divers
had inspected -four wrecks within
radius of q quarter of mile tWen-
ty-four hours after the submarine
disappeared.
An official announcement said the
submarine was located at 6:10 .. m.
Wednesday. 1t was last heard from
officially at 10 a. m. Jan. 26.
The M-2 was lying in 108 feet of
water.

SECRECY ON UTILITY
DATA IS ASSAILED

"I consider it an insult to the
public that certain information
about the indianapolis light and
water utilities is SO highly conf
dential' that the public can not
know it," State Senator John L.
Niblack said in 6. letter today to
Public Service Commissioner Harry
K. Cuthbertson.
He referred to a statement issued
following recent conference of
the commission and the Indianapo-
lis citizens rate reducing committee.
Niblack warned that the public
is "in sullen mood on the utility
question" and condemned hiding
of the information as bad proceed
ure right now"
Il know that Section 33 of the
public service commission law gives
the commi ssion the right to hold up
any and all information. if it sees
fit in the interest of the public
bu5 say it is a silly law" wrote
Niblack.
Il, for one, and go per cent of
the other people in this city, want
to know all about our public utilities
and why cur rates are not cut.
Here are couple of utilities
with public monopolies: A public

TAX sale Will
SMASH RECORD
Real Estate Will Go on
Auction Block Monday.

Greatest amount of real estate
ever placed on Marion county's auc-
ton block will be offered for sale
Monday at the courthouse, at prices
covering delinquent taxes.
County Treasurer Timothy B.
Sexton will attempt to sell proper
ties, on which q total of 100000
delinquent taxes is due.
No properties will be sold for
current taxes, assessed in 1881 and
payable this year.
Redemption of property by the
owner will be more difficult than
last year, because a special 1881
act, which limited amount of each
sale to delinquen- taxes only, has
expired.
To redeem the property this year
the original owner must pay a 10
per cent penalty, if redeemed six
months from date of sale. This
penalty increases to Is per cent, if
redeemed in six months or less than
year, and to 25 per cent, if re-
deemed year afterward.
Prospects for the county selling
much of the property appear linn
tied, according to Sexton. AS yet,
no buyers have inquired at the
treasurer's Office.
Final opportunity for county
property owners to save real estate
from the auction block will be given
Saturday afternoon when the treas
urer's office will remain open until 4.
