efficient functioning of the neces-
Sary units.
At present. we have so many de-
testable state, county and city ordi-
nances, laws and rules of decorum
and what-notS, till it is not only
expensive but is becoming confus-
ing to the majority; in fact, is a
public nuisance. Many persons
seeking aid are referred to some
bureau of information where they
usually hear the same old line
"Oh, you should go to so and so.
I'm very sorry, sir, but we don't
have any influence over the mat
ter in which you are interested"
BY the time one has heard that at
half dozen different offices, he's
ready to leave his duty unac-
complished. If we continue to de-
centralize units, it will be so that
asking the officials a question will
be like asking a centipede which
one of his thousand legs he learned
% walk with first.
BY R. J.
I would like to say a few words
regarding all this war between Ken
lucky and Indiana, especially R.
Sprunger's article on Dec. 6 saying
that Kentuckians have disgraced
West Indianapolis.
If he thinks that all the disgrace
full people Of West indianapolis are
Kentuckians, 1 can prove to him
that the dirtiest and LATEST ones
are HooSiers.
Some of you Hoosiers seem to
think that all Kentuckians should
be sent back to Kentucky and
Hoosiers fill their jobs.
Did you ever stop and think that
some HooSiers are too dumb to hold
a job, and if you don't believe it,
please read the article by Helen
Smith saying she has lived with her
husband five years and he is too
lazy to work.
No, Mrs. Smith, I don't think a
Kentucky woman would like to sup
port him. I don't believe Ken
lucky woman would be that dumb.
I am glad that all the HooSierS
are not as narrow minded as the
ones that wrote these articles. If
they were, this would be bad state
to live in.
BY Come In Town.
Folks. dig up the Nov. % Times
and read the suggestion by a Tax
payer" that all Indianapolis en-
ployes move to town.
After reading it, study its prac-
ticability and start something:
If you are an employer, call your
friends and suggest that they CO.
operate with you. Fill the papers
with your action.
If you are not an employer, but
merely a working person or idle
thinker awaiting opportunity for
work, start talking about the idea
and arouse some sentiment, espe-
cially where you work.
If you are an employee of Indian
apolis but live outside the city, move
in voluntarily and be patriotic with
out being asked. You can't find
anything wrong with the suggestion
and it may do world Of good.
1t is the duty of all who make
their bread and butter here to at
tempt lettering conditions and to
do so we must all pull together.

Your recent editorial on Shabby
Of scientists and en-
gineers is one which 1 can not pass
by without a letter of appreciation.
I do not recall having seen or heard
these professions described to the
public in the manner Of your edi-
torial before. 1t strikes me that
The indianapolis Times is making
strides just now in these
troublous days toward winning the
heart of Indiana by its own peculiar
and straightforward method Of
handling the truth. Please accept
my congratulations in this matter.
