cars 1t put in service In January, 1884,
and in June of that year occurred the first To-
connective accident in America Its fireman was
a negro who did not like the sound of steam
escaping from the safety value. So he proceeded
to sit on the valve and the next thing he knew
he was sailing through the air. For the boiler
had blown up and he had a broken thigh as
reminder of how not to treat mans new iron
steed.
This same year. 1891 also the beginning
of another great railroad system the New York
Central, only in those days it was called the
Mohawk & Hudson and it had some IL miles OF
track between Schenectady and Albany n. Y.
On August g. 1881, New Workers gathered from
far and near to see the first public trial of
locomotive to which had been given the name
of de Witt Clinton" in honor of the builder
of "Clintons Big Ditch" the Erie canal and
which drew a string of curious-looking pas
senger cars resembling stage coaches.
The "De Witt Clinton" was a wood-burner
and the messengers were so showered with sparks
from the engine that some of them had holes
burned in their clothing, while others put up UNI
brellas to ward off the fiery shower. When they
weren't busy doing this they were trying to
keep from being thrown off the seats in the
coaches as the train started taking up the slack
in the three-foot chains which coupled the cars
together, or stopped. crashing the cars together.
Finally the passengers had to cut fence rails and
wedge them between the cars to reduce the haz-
ards of this journey
From 1881 the evolution of the Iron horse"
was swift one and that evolution is easy to
visualize as one watches those other early loco
motives follow the 'Tom Thumb" and the de

the new milestone in stride, giving
the impression that the day after
tomorrow will be "just another

his home, 81 Fifth Ave.
Gifts Pouring In
Congratulatory messages already
have begun to arrive, including
such practical gifts as crate of
celery from Denver and a box of
apples from Oregon.

interview and pictures. He hasn't
been in the public prints much
since his blast against the "baloney

Works Hard AS Ever
Smith is looking we'll and, appar-

complexion is as ruddy as ever and
his step springy.
You can find him almost any
day at his desk on the thirty-sec-

shake, a typical AL Smith smile
and, if you're reporter, maybe IN
"off the record" chat. But no in

NORRIS To PUSH.
INHERITANCE
TAX FIGHT
by international News servi,

by International News Service
New progressive inheritance tax,
large enough in the higher brack-
cts to prevent the handing of
swollen fortunes from one genera
tion to another, was advocated to-
day by Senator George w. Norris,
veteran leader of Senate pro-
gressives.
Norris urged adoption Of such
an inheritance tax at the coming
session of Congress as means Of
redistributing the wealth Of the
nation. He asserted such a law
was necessary to insure perma-
nent agricultural prosperity.
Farm Issue Called bug"
He declared:
"The farm question is the bug
In the ointment. Even the bust
ness world is admitting it now.
That is what I have told them
for years. They always turned .
deaf ear. Now conditions have
become SO bad that everybody
admits the purchasing power of
the farm must be restored be-
fore we return to prosperity.
zone thing I think necessary
ls the redistribution of property
in this country. That can be OBJ
tanned by a progressive inheri-
tance tax. That law should be
permanent. A man should be
permitted to retain enough prop
erty for his family for the rest
Of their lives, but the remainder
ought to be taxed progressively
to a point where the entaiIing Of
fortunes from one generation to
another will become impossible"
His Plan Is Old One
Norris confessed his recommen-
dation was not a new one.
The idea was tested in the
Senate last summer when Sena-
tod Long Cd Of Louisiana Of
fered an amendment to the
Democratic tax bill proposing a
capital levy tax, topped by 100
per cent on all capital in excess
Of $100,000,000, al! income tax
limiting incomes to $1,000,000 a
year, and an inheritance tax
limiting inheritances to $4,000, 900
for any single individual. The
amendment was defeated IA to so.

The Indianapolis times., 1933-11-11

LIVERY thoughtful man makes periodic ap-
~ praisals Of his business. SO should each
thinking citizen pause from time to time and
estimate the assets and liabilities Of his gov
ernment. The administration of Governor Paul
V. McNutt nearly has rounded out its first
year. The present is an appropriate time for
a dispassionate balancing Of the ledger.
To do this properly it is necessary to ex-
punge from the record testimony from two
sources. The evidence is wholly unreliable be-
cause of extreme self-interest. One source is
the disappointed job seeker. His-or her
bellowings have made the Indiana air hideous
ever since spring. The other source is the
defeated candidates
Now let us turn calmly to the debit side
of the McNutt balance sheet:
First comes beer control through a system
Of importers who are emi-political in char
acter. 1t is bad because a public matter is
being carried on with secrecy usually avail
able only to private corporations. 1t is i'm
possible for an impartial observer to determine
where public administration leaves off and
private enterprise begins in this beer matter
Every transaction of the importers should be
open to public scrutiny.
Second, there is the handling of patronage.
The McNutt regime was not placed in office
by Democrats. 1t was elected by liberals of all
parties. Jobs should go to those best quail
fled to hold them regardless of political affili-
ations Instead it is evident that certain of
the Governors advisers, notably Pleas Green
lee, have an obsession to build a powerful
political machine.
This is utterly stupid The outstanding
reason for the election of Governor McNutt
was that the voters were tired of political
machine, tired of the Leslies, the Jacksons. the
Watsons the Stephensons and all the other
professional vote-snarers People wanted
new deal in the state. They believed thew
were gentlemen amateurs to run Indiana
Powerful, selfish party machines are in ex-
tremely bad odor just now. Remember what
happened to Tammany.
Third there is the American Legion. II ia
no secret that legionnaires have received pref
erence from the Governor. The legion is an
excellent and public-spirited organization with
many important duties, but among these is
not that of operating the state of Indiana
