The Mooney Moral

Ernest Jerome Hopkins reporter who covered the
Mooney Billings trials and who now tells the story in
his new book says the real issue in these celebrated
cases is not the punishment of two innocent men 1t is
'he easy conscriptabty of government by prvateers
for private ends.
This indeed is what makes the California affair
so important. Tom Mooney and Warren Billings are
not the first nor the best men to have gone to jail
uniustly History is soaked with the blood of inno-
cents
But Mooney and Billings are this nations outstand-
ing examples of what can happen when our courts
sbdcae in favor of powerful interests or permit them
selves to be swayed by the changing storms of pop
ular passion.
These two men could be any one of the l2OOOoOOO
of us imprisoned because interests or classes that don't
like us can command the courts to put us away.
AS Hopkins points out the same sort of thing hap
pened in Ludlow at Centralia. at Boston 1t easily
can happen this winter to desperate and hungry men,
unless our officials are and Just and temperate
We should make it our business to prevent other
Mooney and Billings cases in America, to maintain
government too strong and honest to be made into
a tool of any group.

Every citizen, no matter what his politics or his
preferences, should vote this to adopt the pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution providing for
income tax.
While there is some question to whether such
an amendment is necessary its adoption will take
away from any hostile court the temptation to nufy
this necessary step when free legislature and
free Governor passes such law.
Property is very properly rebeling against high
taxation Owners of farms and homes and fac
tories being crushed by the unjust distribution
of the tax burden. Tax strikes, which really
revolution, being urged by the who havs
real estate. To their property they advo-
eating the closing of public schools and parks, and
the cutting of wages of policemen and fremen to
the level of made work jobs
The real reason for the protest lies in the fact
that tax lodging is prevalent among those of huge
incomes derived from other than real estate.
The way by which the tax burden be
distributed on the basis of ability to pay is through
an income tax, properly drawn with a distinction
between earned incomes and those received from
investments.
Ability to pay is the just standard of taxation,
1t is the only basis which money for government
can be raised and permit private ownership of real
estate to continue.
At the coming election, paper ballots will be pro-
vided for a vote this question
Unless majority OF all votes cast in the election
vote on this subject, the amendment will be lost.
Income tax clubs, rather than organizations named
for candidates, could do a real service.

When the Wage Garner Votes
Can Editorial in "Labor")


AS the campaign comes into the home stretch
appeals to the so-called labor vote become more
frequent and clamorous. The wage earning voter
when he is allowed to wage-seldom, if ever,
has been courted so ardently
However, some candidates and their hackers try
TO scare the wage Garner with threats and threats
and promises alike should be disregardcd
Two simple rules will enable the voting worker to
choose right:
l. Judge candidate by his record not by prom
Uses or party slogans
2. Don't be bluffed or scared.
In 80 per cent or more of the important election
contests this fall, of the two leading candidates
has made record in some Office, and that record
may be secured by any worker interested enough to
ask his union for it. Promises, especially just before
election, are feeble things but records count
If candidate has played fair with labor-yoted
to put taxes the shoulders best able to bear them
tried to curb njunctons supported measures calcu-
lated to make life kinder to the poor-vote for him
without asking his party.
If he has played the game of the privileged inter-
ests and acted little brother to the money bags
vote against him with the same indifference
More than any campaign since 1896, this one is
marked by efforts to put fear into the workers In
the Wisconsin primary this attempt was as brazen
as the work of Mark Hanna
Usually it is more subtle; just plain hint that
unless the election goes the bosses want, the
worker now employed will lose his job and the man
out of job never will get one
Your friends don't threaten YOU Never forget
that. Only those who hope to get some persona
advantage out of your vote resort to threats-and
their gain nearly is always your loss.
Call the bluff-not with words, but with votes, If
democracy is to endure, it must be saved by those
who go to the polls to vote their best judgment in
diligently and unafrad.

The Destitute Czar

Samuel insult, fleeing from the criminal courts,
tells Greek policemen that he is destitute
True, his influence in Indiana still remains and

the citizens of this state to free themselves from I'M
Just prices on such necessities
1t is also true that in many villages and cities are
men, women and even children who look at scraps of
paper they thought we're wealth and find that they
are worthless
But the destitute apparently has money to
hire airplanes in which to fly to countries which have
no eXradion treaties He still receives thousands of
dollars by cable He protests that all that he has left

poverty it might be well to think of the thousands

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Sone advocate the
repeal of the drv law in the name

Just Every Day Sense
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

NOBODY knows for sure whether prosperity is just
/ Y around the corner, but all know that winter
is the third winter of want and unemployment for
millions Of our people
There will come concerted calls for charity sub
scriptlons Community Chest campaigns will begin
and the public press will carry pleas for generous Civ
ing Those who still have sonething-and fortunately
many do-probably will increase their donations They
must.
But there is need for a finer charity than that of
the purse this year The heart of America must be
moved as it never has been moved before If we are
really to help those who up against the desperate
problems of continued want
And when the heart truly is moved, hands and
brains well pocket books must be requisitoned.
1t is than SenSelesS for us to go on doing
out these contributions, immense though they be, II
do not set ourselves to the task of speeding
up employment of giving. not bread only, but JOBS
and sef-respect to those who have them no longer.
r FOR one do not feel proud of the millions We have
Il poured into funds for the poor. For I ashamed

I know that we pat ourselves on the back because
so pen-hearted. so generous and so fine. We
have astounded the world with capacity for Civ
ing and how grand and noble We felt over that!
But is 1t really anything for which we should
preen ourselves. especially when the poor increase
always along with the contributions?
For we have materials in our hands to give every
man some kind of job, and land vast that every
individual could possess little plot of earth for
home, yet millions have literally nothing
Surely dare not boast of intelligence or
common sense in the face of this fact
We owe the poor and hungry more than bread
and shelter We owe them opportunity and the pride
they have lost.
Ii all our men and women were half as generous
with their time and interest they are with money

Slicker Diplomacy

An attempt to ram more American Imperialism
down the threats of the Hatans is being made by the
state department Diplomatic correspondence between
the two governments which the department made
public Monday shows that it still is trying to force
Haiti to raufy the shameful September treaty.
despite the unanimous refusal of the Haitian
sembly
In this new exchange of notes the state depart
nent repeats at great length its professions of friend
ship and desire to get out of Haiti the earliest
possible moment. But it fatty refuses to change the
treaty provisions which permit prolonged American
dictatorship the colored republic.
Thus the treaty and the American notes con-
corning it, are not only imperiaistic, but also hypo-
critical And the hypocrisy is probably even more
offensive to the Haitians than is the imperialism.
To paraphrsse the famous remark about Glad
stone, the Hatians are not surprised to find an ace
up our sleeve but they do object when we say the
Lord put it there
The part OF the treaty to which the state depart
ment gives much emphasis is that providing for
withdrawal of the American receiver general of Gus
toms and financial adviser nov and for withdrawal
of the United States marines not later than Dec
81 1884
But as pointed out month ago. and as the

1t is doubtful that any physician
would disagree with most of these
precepts. There are probably two,
however, concerning which there
might be some difference of opinion.
Rule No. 10 says that every one
should have thorough intestinal
elimination more than once each
day.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-10-12

A large number of competent OBJ
servers of the activities of the hui
man body disagree with this idea,
and feel that once each day is sjlf-
fcient for the sjority of people.
They say that every one differs in
his physiology, so it is better to sc
commodate conditions to what is
normal for ones self rather than
try to make every human being like
every one else In relationship to
body functions.
Rule No. Is suggests deep breath
ing exercises several times a day
This might we'll be characterized as
a health fad There is no doubt that
thorough ventilation of the lungs
is desirable.
However, careful studies made of
marathon runners did not indicate
that the excessive breathing in
which they must indulge by their
exercises improves their vital ca
pacity beyond that of people gener-
ally.
Apparently the ordinary activities
of life, provided one is not still
most of the time, are sufficient to
ventilate the lungs of the human
body for all ordinary purposes.

We're Still SkeptiCaI

IRON the distance of more than
Il four centuries, we find it easy
to see the greatness of Columbus,
but We see it as a curious fact,
rather than as the evidence of a
principle.
We are no more favorable to men
of his type than we're the people of
fifteenth century Europe.
We are tolerant of explorers in
the field Of geography, because he
left us no other choice. We are glad
to send out expeditions to the polar
regions for the hope which his great
achievement left us.
When it comes to other fields, we
are both scared and skeptical.
We want no radicalism in eco
nomics, or politics, even as far away
as Russia. We look askance at new
ideas, especially if they threaten to
disturb things.
