Turning Back the Clock

Under the belief that heavy tax will drive bust
ness back to the railroads strong forces attempt
ing to pass law which will injure every business that
is built on the delivery of goods by truck.
The argument is that the railroads will employ
and thus relieve unemployment. Incl
dentaIly the roads would receive more money and
be able to pay dividends,
Under the same theory, laws should be introduced
forbiddng all labor-saving machinery
The automobile and the taxcah should be taxed
in order to bring back the horse and buggy and the
stage coach as
The linotype machine should be put out of business
and all type set by hand Electric plants should be
forbidden in order to give the woodchopper chance
The sewing machine should be sent to the attic and
the spinning wheel brought from the museum.
The particular measure is vicious in other ways.
1t proposes to place under control of the public service
commission every truck owned by any business man
used exclusively in his business
The record of the commission is not such as any
business would welcome for advice or counsel, to say
nothing of arrogant orders and dictation
The cost in the end would be paid by the consumer
and a new burden placed upon the citizen who finds
the going hard enough under present conditions.
The proposal is wholly ndefensible and it's motive
may be better understood when the fact is disclosed
that the commission is given unlimited authority to
hire inspectors and collectors to enforce it. That
have but one purpose-more cost to business and
jobs for politicians.
In these days of hysteria, no one should attempt
the impossible task of trying to correct conditions by
turning back the clock. The hour demands imagna-
ton vision for advance not the defation of bust
ness and living standards

Keep 1t Specific

Inc National Economy League, of which CAPTAIN
archibald B. Roosevelt is secretary organized for 2
nationwide fight against government extravaganza in
general and-very specifcally-against government
pensions and bonuses for veterans not disabled in ac
tual war service.
The league received Endorsements from various
distinguished perSons-among them President Hoover
and Governor Roosevelt. The messages from the two
presidential nominees show, however a certain degree
of candidates caution"
President Hoover, for example carefully refrains
from mentioning the veterans at all, and rather
polntedly trusts that your organization will not con-

Governor Roosevelt contents himself with citine

Neither platforms nor candidates have disclosed the

Roosevelt,s Camnaipn

In opening his Democratic presidential cam
psign Saturday night, Governor Franklin Roose-
welt consumed more than half of his time reading
excerpts from the Democratic platform. That is a
good platform-the best, in our judgment in many
years But, having made one speech July O. basing
his acceptance of the nomination on that splendid
platform, he might have gotten around by this time
to saying something his own.
Saturday night he took three main hurdles. He
cleared one and stumbled over two
His brief declaration prohibition was frank
and convincing:
Nothing need be added to that Cpatfor1n demand
for repeal of the eighteenth amendment by state
constitutional conventions and immediate modifica-
ton of the volstead act to legalze beer and light
vines except that if the present congress takes no
action I shall urge the new congress to carry out
these provisions"
But the important subjects of tariffs and debts,
he showed himself muddled or evasive or both
The tariff plank was of the few Straddles writ
ten the Democratic platform by the Chicago con-
vention. The tariff record of the Democrats in
helping to pass the Hawley-Smoot monstrosity which
they now condemn, is particularly bad.
Failure of the Democratic house tariff bill, off,
spring of the vicepresidential candidate, John N.
Garner to provide cuts in the Hawley-Smoot rates
invites the assumption that the Democrats have be-
come an imitation protectionist party after the G.
O. P model.
It is particularly necessary, therefore, that the
Democratic candidate lead his party in the vital
matter of tariff reduction. He mouthed some large
and safe generazations about tariffs high enough
to maintain living standards" and that international
"rade barriers of all kinds ought to be lowered" But
he refrained carefully from pedging an immediate
or definite cut in the Hawley- Smoot rates
Since the value Of our exports has fallen from
$2623 900 in the first half of 1929 to sS41OO0O0O

A Presidential Visitor

There is something dramatic in the visit to this
city today Of Colonel William Hope Harvey, candi-
date for the presidency of the United States.
He floats in from the sky, his first experience in
flying. He boasts Of his 81 years and exhibits no
fear at what might be an experience from which
younger and more tirnid men might shrink. He looks
down upon green fields, small villages and great
cities and dreams OF happy people living in them
instead of hundreds of thousands out of jobs and
more with worries to tomorrow.
Nearly forty years ago. the name of Coin Harvey
carried potent magic. One little book that had a
circulation Of more than 100000 had a profound
effect upon the fortunes Of william Jennings Bryan
He has outlived the majority OF those who found
gospel in his writings but he still writes and still has
his many followers.
It takes courage and character to stick to any
cause for four decades. It takes the soul of the
dreamer and the heart of the humanitarian Smaller
men might have become disillusioned cyclists and
given up the fight
After all, civilization has always been led by men
OF dreams, whether their methods of making their
dreams come true are practical The big thing
is the vision.
And it is true that for all these years Harvey has
dreamed of a time when there would be no poverty
no misery caused by conditions beyond the control
OF the individual, no want no starving babes, no
anxious mothers, worried and dstraught bread
winners
Long before tyranny surrendered to liberty there
were dreamers among the people who preached the
hope of freedom
Long before black men were liberated dreamers
preached the abolition of slavery
Nothing is ever accomplished in just the way that
the dreamer believes changes must be made. But
their dreams lnger long after their words are for
gotten
It is something to have a dreamer in our midst
In these days when dreams are discounted and when
hope dwindles before the crushing facts of hard
ship.
The day may when money will be the slave
Of man instead of man being the slave of money.

Old Rules Best

4 FTER all, the great problem in
L n life is not what men can do by
means of some device, or system,
but what they ought to do by and
for each other. 1t all goes back to
the gradual refinement of human
character.
Anything that helps that is worth
while, and most such things are very
old in principle.
Henry Ford says that we would get
along if we obeyed ten or a dozen
old rules. The trouble is, we don t
obey them. We haven't time to
study them in a sense of political
application
We are too busy learning thou
sands of new rules, which are not
rules at all, but merely recipes.
We have made wonderful progress
in development of tools, in
struments, and engines, but the
World war shows how title we
understood them and what hopeless
slaves of them we had become.
Mans only hope Of salvation, even
in its narroWest sense, is to remain
master of his faculties and of all
means by which those faculties are
expressed.
The only way he can do that is to
keep clearly in mind that he is the
greatest need of improvement, and
that if he fails to grow in knowledge
and wisdom, all other improvements
will be of no avail.

PARADE. And the reason I say on
parade is because a public office
holder will representatives. with
money-but usually with jobs or a
promise of continued employment,
to that person or persons who go
out with great rehearsed stories of
the wonderful achievements that
were executed by the boss, now in
his tenth year on the job.
They never fail to stress one
point to their hearers, that par
ticular group Of influential citizens
that one is apt to rub elbows with
at any one of the city's civic league
meetings.
They always are prepared to put
over that spell binding story about
how the boss has saved the tax
payers so many thousands of dol
lars in the last year, but no one
ever has had opportunity to check
over his books or the main Office
books pertaining to this great mans
expenditures, slush funds and what
not.
The taxpayers and citizens of IN
dianapolis have been misled and
misinformed long enough, regarding
this gentlemans ability for this or
that job.
Permit me to cite one instance
where public property was destroyed
maliciously because the boss had a
huncn that he shortly would be let
cut and did not want his successor
to have the advantage of effort to
beautify this city
I was employed at the Riverside
municipal nursery and was dropped
from the pay roll about the first of
last October, as I was informed that
the park board did not have funds
available to carry more than linn
tied number of men on the pay roll
In March last year two fellow en-
ployes and myself were ordered to
cut down, with crosScut saws, and
as close to the ground as possible
400 white birch trees, ranging in size
from three to ten inches in diam
eter and from fifteen to sixty feet
in height.
We were told by the nursery boss,
Andrew N, Miller, that he (Miller)
intended grating on to these
stumps some variety of catalpa, to
grow special variety of shade tree
The stumps never we're grated.
Ihave waited almost a year and a
half to gaze upon this extraordinary
experiment to develop into some
thing worthy of acclaim. but moth
ing ever was done in the way of
grating. And in the first place a
practical nurseryman would not
think of grating on to an eight
inch stump. After obtaining several
books on deciducus tree grating, l
believe it would be entirely impos-
sible.
In being as close to that situation
at the municipal nursery as I feel
I have been, in that I was one Of a
party of three that worked under
orders from Miller to destroy these
trees. I feel that the public should
be informed as to what's going on

As Gamma RAYS
.HE other possibilit,, i tba

THE other possibility is that the
a alpha particle will give I'D its
excess energy without emerging
from the nucleus. In this case. the
excess energy comes off in the form
OF gamma rays.
This, then, is the new view of the
origin OF the gamma rays of ra-
dunn. To state it technically, it is
due to the transition from one en-
ergy level to another of an alpha
particle within the nucleus.
In recent experiments. the long
range alpha particles emitted by the
form of radium C were analvzed
with the aid of a new electrical de-
vice for counting alpha particles.
This experiment showed that the
alpha particles could be classified
into nine distinct groups, on the
basis Of the energy which they pos
sessed.
The energy of these groups were
found to correspond to the energies
OF the most prominent gamma ravs

Previously, it had been supposed
that all alpha particles expelled at
any one time came out with the
same velocity.
Rosenbloom, working at Paris
with the huge electromagnet which
the university there possesses. ana
lyzed the alpha particles from tho
rum G.
The magnet bent the alpha par
ticles from their original path. the
amount of bending depending upon
the velocity of the particles. His
experiment showed that the parti-
cles could be divided into five dis
tinct groups.
In other experiments, Lewis and
Williams found that actinium ema-
nation, a gas formed when actinium
disintegrates, emitted alpha par
ticles with two different velocities.

NeutrOn Hypothesis

ID UIHERFORD and BoWden car
IN ried out further experiments
with actinium emanation and found
that the emission of the two kinds
OF alpha particles was accompanied
by the emission of weak beta par
ticles and strong gamma rays.
These experiments led to further
analysis OF what happens when light
chemical elements are bombarded
with the alpha rays of radium.
And it was in these experiments
that the most surprising results
were obtained.
Bottle and Becker showed that
when beryllium was bombarded with
alpha particles, it gave off gamma
rays which were more penetrating
than those Of radium.

j. Chadwick, repeating these ex-

He came to the further conclu-
sion that the gamma rays were not
responsible for the long-range pro-
