THE WAR DEBT QUESTION

THE renewal of serious discussion of the
u war debt question will cause many to re-
greet that Dr. Raymond Moley is no longer
chief adviser of the Roosevelt administration.
Just before his transfer to the department of
justice. prior to his resignation, it had been
announced that DR.. Moley would be placed in
charge of the impending debt negotiations.
DR.. Moley was not a specialist in interna-
tional relations or the debt problem, but he
brought to the subject an open and skeptical
mind. AS result he was able to develop an
attitude on the debt problem far more sound
and sensible than that held by many spe-
cialists whose cerebration has been paralyzed
by long-standing stereotypes.
Professor Moley's position on the debt
problem was the very essence of common
sense 1t was, briefly, that when and if the
American people cancel any portion of the
war debts, some way must be devised so that
the improved credit Of the foreign countries
involved can not be Immediately capitalized
by the American international bankers who
lend to these countries.
Consequently. the international bankers in
Wall Street developed deep and implacable
antipathy to Dr. Moley. What they wish is
to have some good Wall Street man like Nor
man H. Davis in control of our debt policy.
The bankers program is simple and clear
enough They want the United States to
cancel all or large part of the remaining
war debts. AS result. the credit of England,
France, Italy and the other debtors especially
that OF England--would be greatly improved

some of them with perspective which would
have been acceptable in 1850.
Most civics text books still hold to the old
Journalism. Instruction in civil government is
limited mainly to a description of the formal
machinery of government under our Consti-
tuition The latter is represented as unique
document, perpetually adequate to meet the
problems of our rapidly changing and COM
pick civilization. The old myths and tradi-
lions about it are handed down from gener-
alton to generation. We hear much about
the sharp separation of powers-executive,
legislative and judicial.
Government is presented as the collective
policeman designed only to protect life, liberty
and property. Only in the newer text books
has there been any recognition of the gov
eminent as a positive agent for the control
of human life from the community to the
nation
In economics the accepted theory is still
that of laissez-faire unlimited competition
and rugged individualism. The distribution
of the social income is represented as an auto
matically controlled process expressing the
Adam Smith and Ricardo still WELD more in
fiuence over our economic doctrine than the
senior La Toilette or George Norris. Our text
books still imply that government should keep
out of business and they render due Difference
to the surprising wisdom of our business
giants who produced the Hoover prosperity.
Under Mr.. Roosevelt the practical founda-
ton of all such congratulations have been
swept away. There has been revolution
producing a greater change in political and
economic practice than has taken place in
the previous hundred years Students Of civics
and economics whose instruction today is based
upon the assumptions and activities of the
Taft or Coolidge administrations are not I'M
like pupils studying astronomy from text
written before Copernicus
If our pupils are to gain any insight into
the new world which they are entering a
heavy burden will be placed upon the teachers
who must dig out and eXpound this essential
information almost entirely on their own.

MODERN KNIGHT ERRANT

NEARLY a hundred hard-headed business
breathlesSly for two hours yesterday after
noon, listening to a modern knight Grant.
OF course, they did not think of Samuel S.
Wyer, consulting engineer and independently
wealthy, as a crusader, but that is what he is.
At his own expense he is travelling through
out the country bringing his message to all
who care to listen. That message is a somber
one 1t is printed elsewhere in this news
paper in a story by Basil Gallagher.
Speaking as a capitalist, he fatty states
that unless capitalism voluntarily decides to
take less, much less, and gives labor a great
deal more, our modern civilization is doomed
to 90 the way of Greece, Rome. Egypt and
Assyria.
AS a highly successful engineer and mathe-
matician, he has the facts to back up his
thesis.
UNLESS capitalism changes the end is not
far distant" he says.
But Mr.. Wyer is not entirely jeremiah.
He has enormous confidence in the intelli-
gence of the common man providing he knows
the facts. He does not believe the members
of his own generation with their set minds
can be depended upon.
He looks to the present-day high school
students for the salvation Of the modern
world He prefers to talk to them. The school
board should see to it that he delivers his
speech in every high school in the city.

Brass Tacks onthe Budget
An Editorial

produced only s245 in revenue last year, The
Times series pointed out. The works board
yesterday began discussion of how to remove
this burden from the taxpayers. That is fine;
let the board move fast.
This newspaper has also pointed out that
Coffin golf course is operating at a loss of
more than $4,000 year. 1t either should be
closed or leased to private enterprise. In Or
binary years it might be wise to let it develop
to a paying basis, as 1t probably would. But
this is an emergency. The taxpayer can not
wait.
Then there are the professionals on the
city golf courses They return not one cent
to the taxpayers, although they are granted
the privilege of selling their services to those
who play on the taxpayers courses and also
have the concession to market balls and clubs
to all corners.
The man who sells hamburgers and soda
on city property has to pay for the right to
do so. The golf professional who sells services
and equipment does not. This is unfair to the
soda vendor and unjust to the taxpayer whose
property the golf professional is using The
city's golf courses have been making money.
Here is a chance for them to make more.
Charge the golf professional for the privilege
Of operating on them.
City hospital, ably managed by DR.. Charles
Myers, is damned with patients, but it is
operating at heavy expense. Private hospitals
have many empty beds and they, too, are hard
pressed to meet expenses. This is silly City
hospital is treating many patients who are
able to pay something. Private hospitals are
turning away many-who go to city hospital
and become charge on the taxpayers-that
might return them small sums
All Indianapolis hospitals, public and pri-
vate, should get together with the social
agencies and the merchants credit association
and formulate policy which will bring relief
to the taxpayer and additional revenue to the
private institution.
These are merely few Of the suggestions
The Times makes. There are many others
which it will make from time to time.
People should take broad, non-partisan
view toward the problem of government costs.
The national income, governmental, cor
porate and personal has shrunk to forty bill
lions of dollars year. Cost of government
city, county. state and national-has risen to
thirty billions. These figures simply will
not wash out. Government costs must be re-
duced And good place to begin is right here
in Indianapolis.

TUESDAY. OCT. 10. 1888.
TIN SOLDIERS?

A UNION miner was reported to have been
n arrested yesterday in Sullivan because he
called company Of national guardsmen
tin soldiers" We say reported" because all
information on the incident was withheld by
the troops commander. Furthermore, this
hapless miner is rumored to have cursed the
guardsmen.
No one, of course, likes to be cursed Nor
do militiamen care to be called tin soldiers"
We do not at all subscribe TO this miners eX-
cited opinion The Thirty-eighth division, Of
which the Indiana national guard is a part,
has been built by General Robert Tyndall
into an outfit that is the envy Of the rest
of the country. It's members are far from
"tin soldiers"
The point is that this union miner had
perfect right to express his opinion, however
deluded, about these soldiers The troops were
called out by Governor Paul " McNutt to pre-
serve law and order. That is their sole duty.
In their official capacity they may nave to
tolerate comments for which they would not
stand were they acting as individuals.
The Constitution of the United States,
which the national guard has sworn to up
hold, still is in force in Indiana's coal fields
Free speech still Is guaranteed and the
right of orderly and peaceful assembly upheld.
Neither may men be arrested by the military
or civil authorities and held iucommunicado.
If the original dispatches are correct the ma
tional guard has itself been guilty Of an il
legal act In Selling this hysterical miner.
1t is the business of the military in peace
time emergency such as this to deal out even
non,lnion workers must have their civil lib
critics equally protected All the taxpayers
: support the national guard and 70 special
: group has any particular claim upon its
services.
The states troops make an odd impression
upon the citizens when their first act upon
entering the coal fields is an illegal one. Amer
lea has no place for cossacks. 1t is our guess
that some subordinate officer has made a ser-
GUS blunder in arresting this man.
Indiana's national guard is something for
the state to be proud of. but if its members
can not keep their heads under the curses
, of a solitary individual, what would be their
: conduct under enemy gunf1re?
Tin soldiers have nothing in their small
heads but solder. Indiana's soldiers have re-
ueatedly proved far higher mental equip
ment than that. 1t would be a downright
shame if a few crackpots in the national
guard were, by their conduct in the coal fields,
permitted to damage the well-earned reputa
ton of the whole organization.

THE state tax board should reduce the city
budget. To date there has been a murky
cloud Of hokum about the discussion Of it.
1t is time to clear the air.
Granted that Mayor Sullivan's administra-
ton has succeeded in reducing municipal ex-
penditures by 100000 since 1890. Granted
that there is no graft in the 1894 expenditure
program. Granted that the Chamber of Com
merce and the Real Estate Board have made
doughty efforts to slash the citys expenses.
All this is extremely worthy, but it does not
butter much Of mess of parsnips for the tax
payer What he wants is not conversation,
however entertaining but tax relief. He has
proved that by his shocking inability to pay
this years taxes There is nothing willful
about the fact that many taxpayer has de-
faulted He Just could not pay. He did not have
the money.
Eight days ago The Times began series
of articles containing specific suggestions
whereby municipal expenditures might be re-
duced Six days ago our worthy neighbor,
the indianapolis News, joined in the fight
with series of front page editorials dis
cussing the general aspects of the problem.

a generous gesture for it to lay aside competi-
tive advantage and follow The Times in
matter of such grave public import.
The News action sharply demonstrates that
ali elements in the community are united in
a determination that the cost of local govern
ment shall be reduced After ALL death and
taxes fall alike upon Democrats and Repub-
licans, Socialists and Communists
The Times declared that the utility costs
of the city were overbudgeted to the extent Of
sl85 5000. Friends of the city administration
promptly denied this
Yet this newspaper arrived at that figure
by comparing budget estimates with amounts
actually expended for heat, light and power
as set forth in the comptroller's reports OF
money actually spent for these items. Per-
sons close to the administration replied that
the accounting system of the city was mislead-
ing. that this system was heritage of years
standing.
Where in the world should a newspaper or
a taxpayer go for accurate information on the
city's financial situation except to the citys
own books?
The mayor has ordered a new bookkeeping
system installed. That is a long step in the
right direction. 1t means that accurate in
formation will be available Indianapolis
should have had such a setup years ago.

is located, costs $1O,5OO year to maintain and

has had a head injury, he should be

memory for recent events.
If he can not remember the names

not safe to permit him to play

WORTHLESS EDUCATION

THE schools of the country are open and
l. the great national educational game is
under way again. The vital relation Of edu-
cation to the solution Of our major national
problems is conceded in theory by both the
most reactionary and the most radical publ
cists They admit that, in final analysis, every
thing comes down to a matter OF education
And in the latter it is coming TO be seen that
the social sciences are of crucial Importance in
guiding us toward any mastery of our economic
and social problems.
Nothing else which ever has happened in
American history has been of such sweeping
and far-reaching significance as the achieve
ments of the Roosevelt administration: the
new deal and the national recovery act.
Through reliance upon his brain trust"
President Roosevelt has indicated his recog-
milton of the Importance of social science in
formulating the new deal The implications
of his experiment for the data of social SCI
ence are of the utmost consequence. How far
have our schools taken this fact into con-

books been revised to take cognizance of the

Whereas, The National ASsocia-

human being to work, and which
believes especially in the right of
women to engage in remunerative
occupations; and
Whereas, Women have fought val
iantly for the right to vote, but to
vote in a country where you have
no right to work is traveSty on
freedom and a denial of an Ameri-
can citizens right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness; and
Whereas, 1t has been shown
that of the millions of women
gainfully employed, 95 per cent are
working because of economic neces-
sity, turning over all their earnings
to their families, and
whereas, The Constitutions of
the State of Indiana and the United
States do not permit diScrimina-

Association of Women request that

is willing to contribute his labor to
the wealth of the community, has

he ever go to church himself? Yes,
that was pretty weak excuse for
