The tri-state pollution commission pro. posed in New Jersey this week seems to be duplication of the one formed two years ago. It is the same one we are led to be- lieve after reading it's plans and purposes However. that need not prevent Connecticut New York. and New Jersey doing all in their power to curb pollution of adjacent coastal and tidal waters. It won't cost this state more than S3,333 under the present terms of the tr-State treaty, the other two states being forced to pay the lions share of the cost of preventing pollution,

 Elizabeth Marbury was always referred to in the news dispatches as u play broker, but outside of New York, at least. she was best known for, her connection with politics and public affairs. She was one of the most important women democrats of the country and took an active part in national party matters. These interests came naturally enough, after her participation in the effort to bring about suffrage for women, which was accomplished with the pas sage and ratification of the nine- tecnth amendment.
 Although she was best known for her connection with politics the news dispatches which report her death assert that was not hci chief interest. As a play prO- ducer and broker she had wide re. pute even before she entered pol. itics. Her eminence in this field

WHAT'S THE ANSWER

The prophet of the deal must be discour-
aged as he looks upon the behavior of his party in
the house of representatives
House Democrats just have struck deadly blow
at the federal trade commission cutting it's appro
pr1ation by 65 per cent and wiping out the govern
ments one division of economists
The trade commission was created bv Democrats
IN 1914 the first and only department of government
ever created to represent the consumer With the
end Of the Democratic administration it nassed
under Republican control; conservative members
were appointed; many of its functions were aban
ooheo' others were curtailed by the courts
IN spite of that fact, it managed to. do some of
The most useful work performed by the government
IN many years. It's Investigations in the Pittsburgh
plus case, for example, are saving American farmers
S3O0OO0OO year.
BENEFITS accruing already from the Investigation
OF utilities have been recited here MANY times THE
oolar ana cents value of newly proposed investi-
saVoh OF corporation practices scarcely can be esti
mated to say nothing of its social value
Inc house Democrats, at time when their party

commission make it possible for the new President
10 control its policies at once have ATTEMPTED To
DOCK This and end the commissions life
To say that this is done in the name of eco,or,,,
is not convincing. That amount saved is infnitesi-
mai IN relation to the budget What force has been
powerful enough to put the house Democrats in +bi
strange position?

II is IN the course of wisdom to ignore them but

Barry'S other charge that some members of con-

THE FIRST REQUISITE

While politicians of both parties are discussing
possible candidates for the office of mayor, and the
selection of candidates is but few weeks away, the
people should demand one thing from every one
Who offers himself for the job.
No candidate should be named who will not
pledge himself to public ownership of utilities
Before the legislature adjourns, there is every
prospect for a law which will make public owner
ship easier and possible.
Regulation of utilities and monopoles, it has
been demonstrated, is very much of failure
The demand of the city for a rehearng of the
water decision, which increased the rates to the
people was turned down by the public service COM
mission with no protest from the new member of
that body. 1t was exactly the decision that would
have been written under the McArdle regime.
Appeals for relief in times Of dehation, from
other utilities have been answered by refusals
The way out is public ownership by which
these necessary services can be obtained at cost.
That would solve more problems than any tax re-
duction.
During the next four years, the city must take
over the gas company. An administration, openly or
secretly hostile to the theory of public ownership,
could wreck this project, the result of quarter of
a century of planning.
Unless the old parties take some interest in this
phase of city government an independent movement
to save the people from utility rule might find
approval.

President Hoover says appropriation bills so far
reported in the house of representatives call for ex-
penditues $163 5000 greater than his budget est
mates. The Democratic appropriations committee
of the house says it has saved $66S7 9O8 from Hoo
vers budget estimates
And between the two the citizen who foots the
bill is left bewidered, uncertain whether his money
is being saved Or wasted.
The confusion has arisen because the budget
was prepared in new way this year. After Presi-
dent Hoover had submitted the budget and the
house committee had started hearings it, he sent
up revised budget, containing recommendatons
for savings by changing existing lawS-such q
wage cut for all federal employees and rewriting
veteran laws.
When President Hoover makes his statements
excoriating congress for failing to economize he
uses for the purpose of comparison the lower figures
submitted in the second message, dependent leg
islative enactment which has been refused by con-
gress.
The appropriations committee, in making its reply
statement uses the original budget figures The dis
parity between the two actually may not be great
as it appears for the senate economy committee has
made general recommendations for new economy
legislation which, II adopted, will bring the two much
closer together.
One outstanding fact-the most important fact
to the Taxpayers lodged by both the statement
of the President and the appropriations committee
reply.
1t is this:
Congress is making no real progress toward cut
ting the biggest single item of federal expense the
item that win have to be cut if any substantial
amount of saving ever is made in the federal budget
This is the bilion-dolar appropriation made an
nually for veterans. In the 1884 budget the vet
Grams get more than onefourth of the entire federal
outlay. Instead of being cut. their new Aria
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-02-04

ton s2oOOoOOO greater than that for the present
fiscal year.
Congress has ignored the Presidents recommen-
dalton for very minor savings in this item and like
wise the demand Of numerous groups Of citizens for
substantial cuts Time killing hearings conducted
by joint committee will last until the end Of this
congress- according to present plans with no action
Veterans get billion dollars a year. The pub
lie debt takes another billion and a quarter Ma
tional defense takes about s7OO OOO Only about
a billion dollars is left for running the rest Of the
federal government for the judicial executive and
legislative branches.
Devoting its attention to this billion congress-
in frantic effort to seem economical reduces by IS
per cent the appropriation of one of the most i'm
portant bureaus Of the government-the federal
trade commison-savng less than a million dol
lars by eliminating work that has saved taxpayers
at least fifty times that much in the last few years
alone.
The senate is to be commended for going beyond
the President and house and eliminating s19OOOOO0
of air mail subsidies.
But both congress and the President fail of their
obvious public duty when they shut their eyes to
veteran economy, which is the key to relief of tax
payers.

POWER TO ACT

Governor Paul McNutt now has authority to re-
vamp the government of the state wipe out unneces-
sary Jobs get quick action any plan for economy
and put through any program that will save money
for the taxpayer.
The action Of the legislature was almost unani-
nous. That no protest came from citizens indicates
that popular opinion approves. 1t also strongly
suggests that the public has such faith in the Gov
ernor to believe that he will the power wisely
AT last. there is power to act. With that power
comes a responsibility that might frghten timid
man. For authority and responsibility always go
together.
It is the only legislative way to return to real
representative government.
one of the chief obstacles to efficient government
has been the fact that there are too many elective
officials
In the long ballot it is impossible for the citizens
to vote inteigently The result has been the eleva
ton to minor offices of the unfit and the greedy
Just why the ballot should be numbered with such
offices reporter for court, county surveyor,
or a coroner in the name of democratic government
is unexplainable.
If attention of the public could be centered on
one two offices, there would be better chance
to keep out the unfit.
In this county the fact that all the citizens of
the county vote for eleven members of the legisla
ture and four or five senators does net make for
real representation of the people in the legislature.
If the county were divided into districts that
the voters would vote for but one there could be
a careful scrutiny of the candidates by their own
neighbors who would know better their qualfca-
tions that could voters in distant sections of the
county
The short ballot impossible until the people get
a new Constitution, is the short road to better
government.
Until then, Capitalization of authority in the
Governor should get results. If any part of the
machinery of government breaks down, the voters
know where to look for relief. 1t will be in the
Governors Office.
Misuse of power will bring resentment Results
will bring the proper applause and approval
