WHO ARE YOU?
The Romance Of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKNS ELLIS.

founded by Norman of the name dur.
ing the eleventh century.

/ TO KEEP KING

LONDON, May II dN.S0-
Bringing keen disappointment to
the American women to be pre-
eented, official announcement
was made today that King George
will be unable to attend tonight's
royal court at Buckingham Pal
ace, owing to an attack of rheu-
matism.
The King, it was said, is suf-
1erlng pains in his left shoulder,
which will prevent his wearing
the heavy gold-braided military
uniform with massive epauletS
which is the traditional royal
court dress. Therefore, he will
be unable to attend the cere-
Mlony.

While they will miss their
chance Of curtseying before the
King, the Americans, however,
will probably get a close view
Of the Prince of Wales, who is
expected to deputize for his
father.
A spokesman at Buckingham
Palace said that aside from the
rheumatic twinges, His Majesty'S
health is good.

A CHANGED COURT

THE depression or the new deal, or per-
haps both, have penetrated to the United
States supreme court.
The same court which held, a few years
ago, that 744 per cent return and anything
hereunder on the property of utility COM
panies was confscatory, now has decided that
per cent return on the property of the
Los Angeles Gas and Electric Company is
reasonable and is not confiscatory.
More than that, it has sustained the rate
base fixed by the California railroad commits
sion, which had trimmed $30,0OO0OO from the
s950O0000 valuation claimed by the gas
company
The supreme court recognized that repro

that can work to the advantage of the public

ton Of $9,228,667 going concern value"
claim made by the company
In a dissenting opinion two disciples of
the old school of thought on the court-of
the group that used to compose the majority
Lament that the decision does not adhere
to mandates laid down in the past.
They apparently are correct in this and
the change they protest is signal for re-
joicing on the part of those who regarded the
old remoteness of the court from current con-
ditions and current thought as one of the
greatest dangers to the American government.
The victory of the liberal California COM
mission has encouraged the people of that
state to drive for lower utility rates from
other companies. 1t should encourage the
people and commissions of other states to
do likewise.
When the supreme court finds that lower
rates Of return are not coniscatory. We can
be assured that reductions will not damage
the plaintive power companies.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

trial. They had made and had accepted pleas
Of guilty to lesser offenses than those of which
they had been indicted.
There often is little relationship at present
between the crimes for which persons are
arrested in New York state and those for which
they are convicted. The reason for this is the
utterly foolish system Of severe mandatory
sentences produced by our recent hysteria
about the crime wave
Judges, with some spark of decency and
humanity, hesitate to impose the atrocious
sentences made mandatory for a particular
crime. Hence, they are prone to accept a
plea of guilty for lesser crime:
1T is as if the courts themselves, realizing
almost instinctiyely the essential injustice in
herent in these mandatory sentences turned
with relief to any methods, however clumsy, to
avoid imposing such long infeXble terms of
punishment.
I'm doing SO they unconsciously often rem
dered the whore system of prison sentences
absurd and gave to the prisoners and their
families a sense of being able to Illustrate or
evade any of the laws of punishment and cor
rection.'
This system Is particularly vicious, in that
it gives special advantage to the clever and
experienced criminal who already has had con-
tact with our criminal law and knows enough
to get statute lawyers who will help him to
make the best possible bargain with the Judge.
The committee wisely suggests the logical
remedy; namely, that the judge shall impose
automatically the maximum sentence provided
by law for the crime of which the offender has
been convicted.
Then the power of release should be trans
ferred to the board of parole, with authority
to act at any time after the convicted person
has served one year in penal or reformatory
institution. They emphasize the utter illogi-
cality which prevails today in our system where
the sentencing judge is allowed to consider
only the crime, while ignoring the offender,
and the parole board is expected to consider
the offender rather than the crime.
This logical contradiction brings confusion
and inefficiency into our system of criminal
Jurisprudence from the moment of arrest until
the final discharge of the convict.

It Seems
to Me
: BY HAYWOOD BRoUN

NEW YORK. May 1o.-The
\ Steuben Society thinks that It
is wrong for Americans to protest
against the Nazi regime in Ger
many.
The argument of the organization
covers the usual phases, such as the
assertion that stories in the news
papers have been exaggerated great
ly, that anti-Semitism exists in
America, and that some of the Jews
expelled from profesSorShipS and
other public posts were removed for
their own good.
But I think I catch a note of
even more familiar protest. 1t is
the old cry of. why don't you mind
your own busineSS?" I never have
been impressed by this complaint.
although 1 have met it with a fair
degree of frequency.
1t is held, as I understand it. that
an outsider has no right to voice
an opinion, because the people ON
the ground know how to handle
things so much better. This is very
often the attitude of the southern
press toward any northern writer
who ventures to criticise the hand
ling of any case involving the Negro
question.

CHILD SLAVES

EXPOSURES by the Pittsburgh Press reveal
conditions among striking child workers
in Pennsylvania reminiscent of those that
turned Robert owen into a Socialist in Eng
land century ago.
More than $4,000 children under Is are
working in clothing sweatshops for 81 to So
week. wages below relief doles to the idle. One
sweatshop employer was arrested for working
mis- force twenty-three hours in one day. The
sixty-hour week is common.
Little workers are assessed from 10 cents to
$3.50 for mistakes" One mill charges $40 to
teach" them to be silk operatives Girl minors
are debauched under coercion of bosses
Such conditions are not isolated. The Ma
tional Child Labor committee reports the
mushroom growth of sweatShops all over the
nation Children IA and Is are paid as low as
81 week in New Haven. Connecticut tobacco
workers, New Orleans cannery hands, Salt
Lake City factory boys and girls suffer with
those of the clothing regions.
What shall be done about this revival of
child exploitation? President Roosevelt's ap-
peal to employers to "lay aside special and sell
fish interests" will not suffice. Neither will
William Green's demand that sweatshops be
held up TO the public scorn."
Boycotting the product of sweatshops. as
urged by the Consumers League and Womens
Trade Union League, will help. But without
strict laws even an aroused public is helpless.
First the federal government should move
to stamp out child labor. This social disease
must be treated nationally as are epidemics.
If the states lag in passing school age limit
laws or in ratifying the long-overdue child
labor amendment, congress should enact new
child labor law and take it's chances with
more enlightened and humane supreme court
majority.
