Senate, as I believe. are in accord with
regard to the major proposals for emer-
gency relief.
I'VE must realize that there are two
schools Of thought in this country, and
that the proponents Of each are sin
cere. One school of thought believes
that we should spend only sufdcient
money to exist and thereby be enabled
to reduce taxes. The proponents OF this
school Of thought hold that the money
thus relieved from taxation will 60 into
private industry. They contend that by
thus reducing expenditures they can
collect sufficient In taxes to assure the
payment of any debts the Government
incurs and thus restore the confidence
of capital. They urge that there Is
no dearth Of capital and on the other
hand there is a real demand for capital
for productive purposes that have been
held in abeyance.'
THE other school of thought, Of
which am a member, is that the steady
growth in depression cannot be stopped
until the market price Of commodities
rises above the cost of production; that
such rise in commodity prices cannot
take place until the demand for our
products is increased through the in
crease Of the purchasing power OF our
people; that 40 per cent of the pur-
chasers in our domestic market are Ia
borers and those dependent upon them; :;
that 1t follows therefore that labor
must be employed, and. If individual in
dustry cannot AFFORD to employ them,
then the Government must employ them
upon economically sound Government
works until industry may assume It's
normal function as the employer.
Viewpoints Contrasted.
"The proponents of one school Of
thought believe that because we have
nearly half Of the gold Of the world
in our banks there Is ample circulating
currency. The other school Of thought
believes that this gold. frozen In the
banks OF the country, has failed to cir
culate and is not, In a true sense. cir
culating currency that may be used IN
trade transactions by the people OF the
country. One school OF thought believes
in maintaining the purchasing power
OF gold, while the other school OF
thought believes IN depreciating to a
reasonable extent the purchasing power
of gold and relatively increasing the
purchasing power of labor and com
modities.

living under a high protective tarif
system and that there should not be
any discrimination against any in

WOMAN LAWYER
REFUSES NAME
OF DRUNK COP
Tells Safety Board TO Make
Own Investigation of
Intoxicated Sergeant

Efforts of the board Of safety to
obtain information regarding the
alleged drunkenness of police
sergeant has resulted in refusal of
the information and a challenge for
the board to conduct its own inves-
tigation, il was learned today.
At the trial of Mrs Margaret Os-
born, policewoman, on charges neg
lect of duty and unbecoming con-
duct last week before the board,
Mrs. Floernce K. Thacker, defense
attorney, charged an unnamed po-
lice sergeant with drunkenness.
why didn't you report the SER
geant who was drunk in a south
side cafeteria on Saturday night?"
Mrs. Thacker asked Chief Mike
Morrissey in a heated examination
in which the defense attempted to
show discrimination between men
and women officers.
Ask for Information
Morrissey replied that the matter
had not been called to his atten-
ton.
On Friday, following the Tuesday
board meeting, Charles R. Myers,
board president, wrote Mrs. Thacker
asking for information, and inviting
her to file charges as your duty
as a citizen of Indianapolis"
"The record of the board of safety
in the past in making promotions
and reductions in both the police
and fire departments" Mrs. Thacker
replied by letter, leads me to be-
heve that you are not sincere in
asking for the information"
Won't Disclose Information
The information was obtained
from a client, and for professional
reasons can not be disclosed, ac-
cording to Mrs. Thacker's letter.
IF you really desire this informa-
ton about police officers, of high
rank and low rank, and their &C
tivities, in my opinion, you have
plenty on the force who would be
willing to give you this information
if they could be assured of protec-
ton from the board the letter con-
cludes.

her was fraught with clouds as he
admits in the following lines from
Coles book:
Our mutual affection revived;
but there existed great obstacles to
our union. Her marriage "a former
marriage) was considered as not
being valid, the man having, it is
said, former wife living in Eng
land; but Of this it was difficult to
obtain proof at so great a distance,
and though report prevailed to
his being dead yet we had no Ger
tainty of it,"
Then Benjamin declared that the
lost husband had left debts behind
him which furthered the legal pos
sibility Of his successor might be
sued"
But the heart affair was too
strong for the canny printer and he
says in his memoirs, 1--WE ventured
nevertheless, in spite of all these
difficulties, and married her on

And he adds the perennial happy
ending" of novels with, None of

happened to u.s."
The memoirs end within a page
or two of this declaration, but prom
Use that the remainder will be pub
lished in the future.
Cole does not know the value of
the book. He has written to collec-
tors of rare manuscripts in an eff
fort to find out its worth.
But regardless of its value the
life it breathes beneath the dog
cared bindings is the kick the drug
gist gets out of his volumes when

Even those who danced on the
