fingerprinting of every person in
the United States, as an aid to
crime detection-on the theory
that good citizens would not OBJ
ject. Already a department of
justice bureau has 100000 finger
prints of arrested persons on file
and thousands of criminals have
been identified in this manner.
2. Federal legislation restrict
ing sale, transportation and pos
session of firearms. Today any
sort of weapon, including a ma
chine gun, can be bought legally
by whoever has the money to
pay for it.
3. New legislation by which
the authority granted in the fed
eral antitrust laws could be
used to suppress and curb rack
eteering, thus placing the war on
racketeering in the hands of the
government, as already is the case
with the war on kidnapping.
Commenting on the success of
the governments drive against
crime. keenan, recently said:
They department of justice
agents. are not influenced by po-
litical considerations. They are
incorruptible, and they are indie
fatigable in their endeavors. AS a
result, they justly are feared by
members of the underworld
They present the evidence for
the prosecution of criminals in
federal courts, presided over by
judges appointed by the President
and holding life tenure in Office.
-. The federal judges, not fac
ing the problem of reelection,
naturally are free from political
influence; they can devote their
entire time to performance of
their duties, without regard to
politics"
TN that observation, keenan,
l. seems to have struck the key
note of the weakness of the old
system of crime prevention-the
alliance between machine poll
ticians and criminals who could
grant election day favors. Such
was the means by which Al Ca
pone cemented his power in Chi
cago, and so it has been with
gangs in other big cities.
How far the government could
or should go, however, is a moot
question. Obviously, suppression
of ordinary crime is the duty of
local communities. But so wide
spread has become the dissatis-
faction with lax local law en-
forcement that many persons are
clamoring for the federal govern
ment to ignore the constitutional
limitations imposed upon it and
take over the job.
Out of this may come the

BY GOVERNOR
MCNutt Pledges Lower Tax

State Residents.
SPEAKS AT FRANKLIN
Peters Joins Executive in
Lauding Activities of
Party Chiefs.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times STAFF Writer

FRANKLIN, Oct. 13.-Food, cloth
ing and shelter for Hoosier needy
this winter and lower utility rates
and lower taxes have been promised
Indiana by Governor Paul v. Nc
Mutt.
The promise was made in a speech
by the chief executive at the third
annual Discovery day dinner OF the
Johnson county Democrats last
night.
1t was held in the Franklin COL
lege gymnasium, which was filled to
overlooking.
Governor McNutt used the
occasion to give a detailed report
on his first nine months in office,
as well as to pledge future progress
in caring for the poor, lowering
utility and tax rates.
Gives Detailed Report
Robert D. Jackson, secretary of
the Democratic national committee,
brought report on national efforts
to end depression under President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Rounds of applause greeted the
introduction of the Governor, Mr..
Jackson and r. Earl Peters, DEM
ocratic state chairman.
The latter presented and praised
the precinct committeeman present.
State, district and county organi-
cation officers previously had been
introduced.
Governor McNutt dwelt particu-
larly on the new deal in state regu-
lation of utilities. He paid high
tribute to rate reduction efforts of
his three-member public service
commission and Sherman Minton,
public counselor
When the Democratic party
pledged a new deal in the handling
of public utilities. we meant what
we said" Governor McNutt asserted.
Exploitation at End
Il have kept my promise to
change the public service commits
sion in toto.
Under the direction of the pub
lie counselor and with the aid of
experts in the field of utility valu-
ations, we believe we have found
a short cut to rate reductions by
requiring the companies to show
cause why present rates are not too
high
mo longer is the public service
commission to be used as high rate
guarantor and stock promotion
schemes such as the insult house
of cards.
mo longer will there be exploita-
ton at the expense of the rate
payers"
Mr.. Jackson. whose speech fol-
lowed that of the Governor, de-
clared that Governor McNutt's ex-
position of the power question was
as able as any he ever had heard.
He also asserted that Mr.. Peters
was rated at Washington as the
best state chairman in any of the
states"
President Roosvelt's program al
ready is successful in that it has
the national psycholo-
gy and turned it from despair" Mr.
Jackson concluded.

POINT PROGRAM For PROSPERITY IS REVEALED BY Mr. HEARST

American market for American
industry and protect American
labor and American standards
Of living"
After calling attention to the
action of France in establishing
&C ompen satory tariff duties"
againts nations with deprecated
currencies, Mr.. Hearst added:
"Our country was not alert
enough, not informed enough,
and not progressive enough to
originate such measures, but it
should be at least intelligent
enough to duplicate them when
the need for such protection is
so obvious and the condition
Of our industries and our work.
ing people so critical"
Mr.. Hearst's farm relief sug-
gestions included creation of
remunerative markets, lower
transportation costs on farm
products, and cheaper credit. He
said:
"The government should
finance the famer at a low
rate Of interest and insure him
in the possession Of his farm
over a sufficient stretch Of
years to nullify the destructive
effects of periodic unfavOrable
climatic and economic cOndi-
tionS."
Mr.. Hearst pointed out that
reduced cost of transportation is
just as important to the farmers
as reduced cost of financing and
of marketing" He asserted he
railroads are "in no condition to
supply cheap transportation"
Urges U. S. Ownership
He recommended Government
ownership of the carriers to
achieve lower transportation
costs. He said:
apparently the only way that
the necessary complete reOr-
,;anizatiOn and unificatiOn of
the railroads can be accom-
plished is through government
ownership. Government owner
ship will administer the rail-
roads economically in one CO.
Ordinated system.
Government ownership would
secure money to the railroads
at half the rate of interest
which the railroads now pay,
and railroad securities could
ne retired with a 3 per cent
government bond, to the ad-
vantage and satisfaction Of the
security holders.
"Under a unified railroad
system, reOrganized and re-
fianced by the government, the
railroads could economically
transport freight of that char
acter of weight and bulk which
naturally belongs to them.
Farm products are of this
weighty and bulky character,
and consequently farm products
