By the Firemans Band.
AS Mr.. Shusler says, "I am taking
the liberty" to correct some of his
misleading statements that he had
in your columns of Aug. %. He
certainly has been very much misin-
formed or is trying to misinform the
public.
First, Mr.. Shusler speaks of the
police and firemen's band. There
has been no such band for the last
three years, and furthermore, when
it was in existence it did not take
any park board engagements.
For the last two years there has
been a firemen's band which never
has played competitive concert.
The f1remen's band plays for
churches or for civic organizations
and for such as the openings of new
streets, none of which would hire a
band to play engagements if there
was no other entertainment to be
had.
Mr.. Shusler says that in former
years they played twenty concerts
in the parks and this year they only
played three, due to the f1remen's
band playing them. Well, Mr.. Shus-
Ter, it may be news to you, but that
is three more concerts than the fire
mems band played for the park
board.
If you do not know why you are
not getting those twenty concerts
this year, I will try and inform you
so that you will not try and mis-
lead the public into believing that
the f1remen's band is playing them.
There is a depression on (and it is
felt by us as well as yoW and there
are many people who are not able
to pay their taxes, so the appropria-
lions had to be cut, consequently
the park concerts had to be cut and
you boys had to suffer. We do not
play any engagements where there
is a charge.
If you will remember, we had a
committee wait on you about two
years ago when the f1remen's band
organized, so that we could be on
good terms with your organization,
but for some reason you would not
accept our committee, so who were
the square shooters, your organiza-
ton or ours?
We have the reputation Of putting
bread into peoples mouths, not tax
ing it out, and we still are living up
to that reputation. Here's hoping
that you are broad minded and fair
enough not to try and mislead the
public.

GLOW can newspapers and
clippings be preserved against the
diSintegration Of age?
A-One method is to mount
each page or clipping between two
sheets of strong. thin transparent
material such as silk or japanese
tissue. This treatment adds
strength to the sheets and also
delays the chemical changes in
the wood pulp fiber composing the
newsprint paper. The sheets
should be folded as little as pos
sible and should be kept in tight
container in a clean dry atmos-
phere.

Your Saturday issue contains a
communication from one who says,
"Who am I? Just a carpenter of
indianapolis, who has heard and
needed the call of the Carpenter of
Nazareth, the Social Communist"
If this is a poetical reference to
Jesus of Nazareth, I would suggest
that the writer examine the state
ments of Jesus with reference to the
Scriptures and His attitude toward
the church of His time.
Jesus was the adopted son of a
carpenter Cbuilder) of Nazareth.
This does not make Jesus a car
penter." Jesus was one of the
"wreckers" in the social order of
the times, but Jesus wrecked" in
order that something better might
be "builded."
He was expert in "remodeling.
AS such, Jesus reverenced the
Scriptures. (See John 1925; also
Psalm 80 quoted by Him. See also
Mark 14:49 ard Luke 16:29-31. This
carpenter" certainly reverenced
"the Scriptures"
Jesus respected the Church"
(See Matthew 23:2f) He chastised
the leaders whose works did not
prove their sayings" But Jesus
commanded the hearers to observe
and Go all whatsoever they bid you

An Unfair Altitude

TDLENESS has bad name among
l. us, because often it has been
purchased on terms which were I'M
fair. Those of us who come from
the proletariat naturally resent such
ease as is assumed by robber barons,
past and present. But that doesn't
mean that idleness itself is funda-
mentally evil.
Even the most visionary Of the
Communists can't quite get away
from the notion that Utopia will be
a place Of vast activity. In these
kingdoms of a dream the workers
pour out Of the factories to devote
themselves to wood carving and the
little theater movement.
Russia, which has experimental
in economic forms ostensibly aimed
toward a newer freedom, has left
the land seething with activity. Just
what BOlSheViSm has accomplished
is a matter Of dispute, but it does
not seem up to the present time as
If the SoViets nOticeably have in
creased the areas Of tranquility and
sweet repoSe.
1t is fair to add that capitalistic
countries have even less to boast Of.
The machine has shortened the
hours Of labor in the heavily indus
trlalized nations, but, at the same
time, increased the intensity of the
working day,
And, for the most part, we use the
term labor saving device" not so
much to indicate an implement by
which man may free himself for in
activity as to identify a gadget by
means of which he can do more in
a given time.
Bushes Of the Idle
a ND with each easement from
IA manual labor has come a whole
new flock of needs and ap-
petites. It isn't enough any more
to feed and clothe the sons of
Adam. They must have their radios
and automobiles and motion
pictures. Complete leisure and re-
Taxation leave us all a little
ashamed. Ask a man, what did
you do on your vacation?" and he
is almost sure to give you some re-
port Of fish entrapped, miles walked
or motored, and sets of tennis
played. He would not dare frankly
to admit that he lay on his back
much Of the time or that he went
in extensively for twiddling his
thumbs.
I at least will be faithful to my
contention that there already is too
much work and too many workers.
Just because believe in the
beauties Of idleness I'm going to end
this column right here, a little
short, and let somebody else fill it
out down to the margin line.

U. S. AStounded New
Indictment Hinted
BY International News service

By International News Service
Refusal of the Greek courts to
extradite Samuel insult. former
Chicago utility magate, on a Fed
eral indictment in connection
with the collapse of his business,
created astonishment in State De.
partment circles today.
Officials said all previous indi-
cations from Athens led them to
believe that insult would be ex-
tradited.
An extradition treaty between
the United States and Greece was
rushed through recently in order
to facilitate the extradition Of In.
sull on the Federal indictment,
and it was fully expected that the
extradition proceedings would be
successful.
The way still remains open for
the Government to continue its
efforts to extradite insult, Off
cialS said.
However, further action would
have to be based on a new indict-
ment covering charges not in
cluded in the present one. There
is no appeal in the Greek courts
to the refusal of the authorities to
grant extradition on the present
indictment.
However, if the Department Of
Justice has sufficient evidence to
warrant a new Federal indict-
ment on other charges, the State
Department can launch new pro
ceedingS,

CODES To BRING
TRADE PEACE,
SAYSPERK|NS
Cooperation 'Twixt Employers
and Workers Is Chief Need,
Secretary Declares
Nv international News Service

Industrial peace may be in sight
under the NRA codes If employers
and workers cooperate, Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins pre-
dicted today.
She said industrial peace is
possible, provided employers and
workers handle the matter Of
their mutual relations "in con-
formity with the law and in line
with those principles of justice
and common sense which have
long guided our relations in civil
matters"
Disputes Are Fewer
She said industrial disputes
have been fewer and less severe
in the six months ended with
September than in the CORE
spending period in 1921.
At that time the country was
emerging from a comparatively
mild depression.
"The will to agree, the ready
acceptance Of the inevitable
compromises when interests are
opposed, makes for better re-
latiOns. If employers had in
all cases accepted without
struggle the requirement Of the
law that collective bargaining
is permitted and required where
desired, there would have been
a reduction from 50 to IS per
cent in the number of disputes
in the last few months"
She Cites Figures
Miss Perkins said that April
and May in 1921 registered the
high industrial dispute mark
There we're 292 strikes and lock-
outs in April and and 575 in May
that year, with an estimate Of
179, ,872 workers involved in April
and 354.20O in May. April, this
year, saw only u strikes with 49,
OFT workers out while 1873, affect
ing 41.652, were recorded in May.

cuSed President Roosevelt Of al
ready having violated most Of the
important promises he made dur

The Republican blast is signi-
ficant. It means that the
political truce which has been
in effect since March 4 is now
ended. and that the Administra-
tion must expect partisan criti-
cism and political opposition in
some of it's major policies. The
Roosevelt honeymoon is definitely
at an end.
Money Policy Hit
The chief criticism of the Re-
publican organization was directed
against the new monetary policy,

gram; the agricultural policy; the
promised Is per cent reduction in

Would Restore Buying Power
of Millions of Farmers,
Says GOV. Olson

OF MINNESOTA
written Expressly for international
News Service

DES MONIES. Iowa, Oct. 81
Let the Federal Administration
merely set the minimum price at
which basic farm products could
be sold for domestic consumption.
That is the simple, direct an
swer to the farm problem.
Almost over night the buying
power of some 35,000,000 rural res
idents of America would be re-
stored. Their spending power. IN
turn, would restore to their jobs
thousands of now idle industrial
workers.
It would be a simple thing to do.
The President already has the au-
thority under laws passed by the
last Congress.
Explains His Method
It could be done this way:
The President would issue an
executive order requiring that all
sellers and all buyers OF agr1cuI'
tural products must be licensed.
The sellers, of course, are the
farmers; the buyers are the grain
dealers, commission houses, cheese
factories, etc.
In issuing licenses to the farmer,
the President would specify that
such and such a proportion OF his
total normal crop be sold for do
mestic consumption and that it
must not be sold at less than q
certain set price.
For instance, farmer who had
been raising 1000 bushels OF
-eat would be told that domestic
consumption would require only
80 per cent Of the normal wheat
crop, so he would not be allowed
to sell but } per cent, or 1900
bushels. of his normal crop TOR
domestic consumption. He must
sell this at a minimum prlce-say
$3.50 per bushel. The other 400
bushels he could dispose OF by
EXPORT. or do anything he wanted
to do with it so long as he did
not sell it for consumption IN this
CouIo y
Would Limit Crop
The farmer soon would be dis
couraged from growing more than
domestic requirements - that lS'
unless he found the export trace
profitable.
It would eliminate bonus pay
ments and much other contuSlnj
detail of the elaborate crop-re-'
duction plans we are working on
now. It would not restrict the
amount of his normal products
a farmer could raise. 1t merely
would limit the amount he could
sell for home consumption.
It could be put into full opera
ton almost overnight and could
Immediately double or triple the
farm income, depending upon
what minimum prices were es-
tablished.
