FRIDAY. JAN. 20. 1888.
THE SALES TAX

The proposal of the new state administration to
enact sales tax means Of wiping out deficit
in the state treasury is certain to bring state
wide protest from many groups
This form Of taxation mas always been opposed
by labor increasing the cost of living. 1t will be
more opposed by the merchants of the state who see
in it an added burden to business that the leaders
believe would be the last straw to the cameIs back
in many Instances
Business sees in such a tax such unfair compe-
ttion with mail order houses Of easy access as to
wipe out a volume of business that means the mar
gin between profit and loss.
That such a measure is introduced or considered
at all is only evidence Of the fact that matters
have reached the choice between such tax methods
and the most dramatic reduction of state services
and possibly more drastic wage cuts for every one
on public pay roll.
Real estate has protested that it can no longer
pay more than $3.50 hundred and survive. The
long list of delinquens suggests that there is merit
in this protest
But the sales tax, at best costly way of raising
money for governmental purposes, may possibly add
to the burden of estate by providing more vacant
store rooms in cities, which in turn mean more
unemployment more men on the relief rolls less
purchasing power
The plight of the farmer and his demand for
lower taxes can be understood and is well known.
Governor McNutt most correctly stated in his in
augura address that he believed the sales tax to be
wrong in principle. He considers it only as an emer-
gency measure TO be adopted with trepidaton and as
the last out from bankruptcy.
The truth is that officials and the people must
face the fact that the percentage of taxes to total
income is approaching the point Of confiscaton 1t
will grow until the jobless are put to work.
The choice, as has been pointed out is accept
ance of these burdens the abolition of part of
government When that choice is made, the decision
will be even more difficult. Shall it be schools or
policemen who shall be first TO go?

Revelations that banking interests are the real
power behind the senate fhbUster against the Glass
banking bill have increased the public impatience
with this minority dictatorship of legislation.
Senator Huey Long furnishes the lungs for an
eight-day TRADE against the wicked eastern bankers
whom ne charges with writing the bill while GER
tain of the said bankers quietly prolong his fbuster
to kill the bill. E
Failure of the senate Thursday by vote to
muster the necessary twothirds for the cloure rule
to break the flibuster not due to sympathy for
Long and his unrecognized banker aids but rather
to the known hostility of many senators to socalled
gag rules under any circumstances. That was shown
by the truce which followed.
Reforms incorporated IN the Glass bill are long
overdue. The layman may not understand much of
the intrcacy of bankng-indecd, it is becoming clear
that too many bankers do not understand their
business. But the layman knows there is something
rotten about system under which 1000 banks
close in ten years.
That is our record, wholesale and continuous fail
ures during prosperity well in depression while
in the same decade not one bank failed in neigh
boring Canada.
These bank failures not only wIping out the
life savings of hundreds of thousands Of citizens and
wrecking communities, they doing more to de-
stroy Americans faith in American government
than any amount of Communist propaganda
could do.
The Glass bill would not end bank failures; it
is not a cure-alI; but it would help great deal.
1t would divorce banks from security affiliates
those unregulated 'back-Star institutions through
which banks gamble with other peoples money
1t would restrict the use OF federal reserve credit
for stock speculation.
1t would compromise The fight of the extremists
for and against branch bankingthe centralized
system which has proved so successful and safe in
other countries-by allowing branch banking in
limited areas.
In technical matter of this kind the public is
apt to form its opinion largely the character of
the author of bill. Carter Glass is well known to
the public having served most of his life in congress
when he not secretary OF the treasury.
Two things the public knows about Carter Glass.
One, that he is an open-minded conservative most
experienced in banking reform. The other is that
he not be influenced improperly.
Under the circumstances Huey and his strange
banking bedfellows should be surprised that the
public chooses to trust Senator Glass and to distrust
f1libusters.

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TINE mother who increases her family through
l. the natural process is obliged to take what
she can get Only the foster mother is at liberty TO
choose the sex of her child and these days she is
choosing girls.
We've come long long way from the period
when women looked with sorrow and half-shame
at a new daughter and if there were several others
in the house proceeded to dispose of the infant in
the most convenient river
The mental qualities Of mankind slow moving as
they are have acquired some intelligence since the
day when virtuous and cody women, lacking man
child felt themselves cursed of God and prayed
earnestly for son.
If you were a little girl in the early 1905 you
could sense the subtle distinction between the well
come given boys and girls in every home Con-
gratulatons always sounded bit more sincere upon
the arrival of an heir, and the wife who care
less enough to present her husband with success
sion of daughters suffered a sort OF spiritual osra
cism.
In some way she seemed shut out of the in
ner sanctums of maternity those closed circles
where dwelt the more fortunate creatures who had
borne male children She was given vague pity
the poor thing had done the best she could but
the best had been not quite good enough.
MO matter how much Papa or Mama loved you,
you knew deep down within yourself that they
had been little disappointed when you turned out
to be a mere grl-and that feeling does something
to you throughout the whole course of your life.
For women of the past generation to have
broken away from this indefnable yet unmistak-
able humiliation of the stigma of femninity has
been one of the most interesting of their freedoms.
Today parents realize that girls belong to them
longer than their boys do They know that when
it to loyalty and tender care it is often
the daughter who will not fail them.
Sons while they may not forget, usually are too
busy to demonstrate their affection in actual service
think it is a good thing for everybody that at
last the girl baby is coming into a world that ap-
precates her worth

ANOTHER HOOVER

President Hoovers elder brother, Theodore Hoover,
of Stanford university is quietspoken little man,
known to the students as Professor Tad" AS a
youth he was printer. When the linotype appeared
he learned to master The .luman-ike mechanism,
and then taught others to operate it until he earned
money enough to send him through college.
His fight and the years taught him that machines
must be controlled socially or they will destroy men
individually
IF we propose a continuance Of more or less
haphazard operation of our mechanical civilization,
with no adequate means IF control the machine
eventually will smash u.s. he says.
I'VE have been so preoccupied for the last 100
years with operating the machines at profit that
we have allowed lag in our measure of control"
The Presidents brother thinks such control can
be established without "a fantastic revolution" and
within the Constitution.
1--WE need a lot Of better drivers and they should
know something about machinery" he says. And
they need not be great orators"

NOT so BRIGHT

Mayor ]. Fulmer Bright of Richmond, Va, serves
his country by staging perfect demonstration of
the wrong way to treat loblesS agtators.
In November, Abe Tomkin, Communist founder
of the Richmond unemployed council, headed a dele
CATION to Mayor Brights Office to protest the revo-
cation of permit for a public hunger demonstra-
ton. Mayor Bright had him arrested as vagrant
a charge the court later dismissed.
Later, Thomas Stone, another council Official
entered Mayor Brights Office to protest police con-
duct The mayor ordered him out and when he
demurred that he stood on his constitutional right
of petition, Mayor Bright had him arrested for dis
orderly conduct.
Testifying in court against Mr.. Stone, the mayor
let it out that he angry because of outrageous
language Mr.. Stone used against him in an earlier
speech.
When Richmond newspapers criticised the
mayors actions against the two Communists he
countered by severng relations with the local press.
The official boycott of the newspapers was carried

FIRE FROM THE GODS

At least thirty girls formerly employed in a
New Jersey radum plant doomed to die SLOW
deaths from radium poisoning Already eighteen
have died 1t was the girls job to paint watch dials
with radium paint, wetting the brushes with their
lips
This tragedy will remind some of the fate of
Prometheus the Greek deity, who stole fire from the
gods and brought it TO earth concealed in hollow
fennel stalk. He was tortured for his impiety by
being chained to rock by the sea. 1t will remind
others of the heartlessness of employers who play
with fire for profit.
Radium is a mysterious force, to be used only by
qualified medical men. Those who sell radioactive
water as a cure-all who employ girls to use
radium paint without adequate safeguards guilty
Of something than impiety.
The difference between Prometheus and them is
that they have made the innocent suffer torture
and death instead Of taking the punishment them
selves.

Times Readers
Voice Views

Editor Times-It is seldom that
1 find occasion to reply to COM
ments by the subscribers of our
daily papers, especially so when
the authors of such items show
lack of courage and sincerity by
signing anonymous names.
However, in reply to an article
in The Times under date of Jan.
10, signed "a Times Reader" rela-
tive to the "big man from the
North who came to Indianapolis
to show us how to run a street
car system" I would ask: who
knows but that he will accom-
plish that very thing?"-at least,
let us hope so.
The undersigned has been con-
fined to his home for several
weeks on account of influenza,
and naturally has not been
abreast of such matters, but 'in
union there is strength" and I
would be glad to have a "Times
Reader" meet with members of
the organization which I repre-
sent for the purpose Of discussing
and mapping out program on
the diverting Of Shelby street cars,
and in turn we will approach
the big man from the North"
presumably Mr.. Chase in a spirit
Of courtesy and cooperation.
While agreeing with you in your
contentious, feel that Mr.. Chase
is entitled to opportunity to ex-
plain why an apparent discrimina-
ton has been made against the
south side.
In recent address to the mem
bers of the central committee of
South Side Civic Clubs and sever
al hundred citizens, Mr.. Chase
outlined his program for the city
of Indianapolis very thoroughly
and asked the cooperation of the
public in bringing about better
service for the entire city.
The central committee is the
official voice Of the South Side
let's get together!

Two EclipSeS in 1888
TINE year 1888 offers a meager
. BY DAVID DIETz

TINE year 1888 offers a meager
Il bill Of fare in the way of
eclipses. The millions of people
who we're thrilled by the solar
eclipse Of Aug. 81, 1882, will find
no similar event during the
present year.
There will be only two eclipses
this year, the minimum number
which can occur in any year. Both
will be eclipses of the sun, but
neither will be total. In addition,
neither will be visible in the
United States.
The greatest number of eclipSes
which can occur in any one year are
seven, FIVE of the sun and two of
the moon, or four Of the sun and
three of the moon.
When the minimum number
occurs in any year, that is, two,
both always are solar eclipSes. An
average year has four eclipses, two
solar and two lunar.
Both of the solar eclipses which
occur this year are of the type
known to astronomers as
"annular."
An eclipse of the sun, as is we'll
known, is caused by the moon
getting between the sun and the
earth. Now the moon is small and
it's conical shadow has an average
length of only 232,1OO miles. This
is less than the average distance
from the earth to the moon. The
average distance is 100000 miles.

This is the fourth of FIVE articles by
DR.. Fishbein on pneumonia, its treat

The person attending patient
with pneumonia should wear

The hands should be thoroughly
cleaned with soap and water after
attending the patient. The sick
room should be kept as clean as
possible and thoroughly aired,

When a person is isolated for
an infectious disease, the utensils,
bedclothing, personal clothing,
handkerchiefs and other material
in close contact with him should
be sterilized. They should be kept
separate from similar materials

family.

Can Be Shortened

Indeed, I can think Of few cases
which might not be completely
briefed in half that time. But the
argument is raised that a filibuS-
ter, in spite Of all its aspects of
wasting time, may be an excel
lent device to enable the country
and the legislators themselves to
catch up with a problem imper-
fectly thought out.
There have been, without doubt,
filibusters which were noble in
motive. I am uncertain now as
to whether Mr.. Glass or Mr.. Long
espouses the better side in the
present banking bill. And yet I
would not give support to even
the most righteous flibuster.
Something more than the i'm
mediate question at hand is at
stake. If we accept the fact that
few of the righteous may check
the legislative villainy Of a dis
honest majority, we must admit
that the thing can work just as
Knaves and rogues can consume
the time of the august body just
as well as tribunes Of the people.
And if the matter Of lawmaking
is to be reduced to the stamina
of the contenders, our entire
scheme of government must be
changed. Under such dispensation,
each state should select from its
inhabitants two marathon dancers
to represent its interests.
I do not care what the merits
of the issue may be, for to my
mind any flibuster is a defiance
of the democratic principle. 1t is
an effort upon the part Of
minority to prevent the majority
from its right to express its will.

Il Seems to Me j.. by Haywood Broun

THE turmoil in the senate
l. hardly can be placed square,
ly upon the shoulders of Huey
Long, the Kingfish of Louisiana.
He merely was muddying the wa
tiers where greater legislative
sharks had swan.
This was neither the first nor
the last of the filibusters. The
senator was taking advantage of
an archaic code. 1t would, Of
course, be excellent if this had
been the filibuSter to end filibuS-
tiers, but such a happy event
hardly could be the case until the
senate comes to the realization
that it is, among other things, a
legislative body.
At the moment, too great an
emphasis has been put upon its
deliberative function. Naturally
no man, or little group, actually
needs the span of days upon days
to explain its opposition to any
pending legislation.
The delay comes in dawdling
and vast irrelevant speeches in

VIII Grow No Wiser

1t is probably so that a very
small proportion Of the people Of
the United States understand the
issues involved in the Glass bill
for branch banking. but it is hard
ly true that the delay imposed by
Senator Long has sent any con-
siderable number to their text
books to bone up on the problems
involved.
And while this stoppage came
all legislation Of every sort was
showed to one side. The govern
ment Of the United States is to
some extent a business, and surely
no private corporation could long
endure if anybody at a directors
meeting undertook to stop a vote
by the simple process Of talking all
his associates under the table.
After all, We are paying the bills.
The senate may be poor thing,
but it is our own and we have a
right to say after the first fort
night or so, THAT viii be about
all boys. Come On now and make
up your minds If any,

TINE second annualar solar
l. eclipse of 1888 occurs on Aug.
81. It is entirely invisible in the
western hemisphere.
The path crosses the northern
edge Of Egypt, Arabia, Persia,
India, Siam, Borneo, and the
northern part OF Australia.
In addition to the eclipses of
1888, there are a number of inter-
esting events of a related nature.
These are known as "occuIta-
tons"
An occultation occurs when the
moon passes between the earth
and a planet or star. When this
happens, the planet or star dis
appears behind one edge of the
moon and after an interval re-
appears from behind the other
edge.
These events are beautiful to
watch and in addition possess
some scientific value, since they
afford opportunity to check on
the exact motions of the moon.
In 1888 there will be two &C.
cultations Of Venus and nine of
Saturn. But once again, the
United States plays into poor
luck. None of them will be visible
in this country.
The two occultations of Venus
occur on Nov. q and Dec. 20. The
first will be visible from the So
ciety islands in the Pacific, New
Zealand and Australia. The Sec
ond will be visible from Australia
and nearby islands.
The nine OSCILLATIONS of Saturn
occur on May Is, June II, July g,
Aug. 5, Sept. 2, Sept. %, Oct. &c,
Nov. %, and Dec. 20.
