SECURITY BACKLOGS

IMPORTANT as are the pending measures to
Il make peoples savings and investments
safer, equally important is the governments
obligation to build some protection for working
mems families against the fearful hazards Of
unemployment and old age.
Congress has before it two bills both sup
ported by President Roosevelt, both aimed to
swing the governments power and resources
behind the manifestly necessary task. One
is the Wagner-Lewis unemployment insurance
measure. the other is the Dill-Connery old age
pension bill.
In their present form neither will be
drain on the United States treasury.
The Wagner-Lewis bill, now before the
house ways and means committee would i'm
pose a federal tax of, perhaps per cent on
all substantial industrial pay rolls Employers
paying into state compulsory jobless insurance
funds would be credited to the extent of their
state payments. States thus would be en-
couraged to establish such insurance systems
TO keep the funds at home
One one state, Wisconsin, has such a Sc
curity system. Passage of the Wagner-Lewis
bill doubtless would bring all states into line
within a few years. 1t is essential that the
states start security funds now when profits
are beginning to flow back to industry If
they wait for another boom the lessons of
1929-1934 will be forgotten.
The extravagant and chaotic dole method
now costing taxpayers 81 ,OOOOOOOOO year, is
a luxury that only the United States among
all industrial nations has afforded.
The Will-Connery bill, pending before both
houses. would provide a federal subvention of
one-third of the amounts the states spend on
old age pensions. The twenty-eight old-age
pension states have found their method cheap
er than poorhouses.
BY assuming third of the burden now the
government would need to spend only about
S10,OOOOOO a year, and this could be taken from
the relief funds. If all the states adopted
pensions some 100000 INDECENT old folks could
look forward to measure of security in their
declining years.
Both of these measures should be passed
by congress before adjournment Of course.
they will not make life in America entirely
secure, but they will help from security

PROPOSES HEAVY PENALTY
FOR MANIPULATORS
BY F. G. G

By F. g. g.
The public is demanding, and
rightly, that proper punishment be
administered to bankers, f1nanciers
and manipulators of all kinds.
Some of these men have been pat
ting us on the back with one hand
and stealing our money with the
other, and the supremely ridiculous
part of it is that they believe they
are being miStreated and that this
is not free country when they are
not permitted to rob others.
1t does seem a shame, after a
man has spent practically all of his
life Scheming how to steal legiti-
mately; that is, so he can not be
prosecuted because Of some techni-
cality or weakness in the law, that
he should be forced to work for a
living.
The public demands new laws to
be enacted as quickly as possible, to
properly punish those listed above
If a man knew he were to get the
death penalty for theft or manip-
ulation in any manner of 100000
or more, there wouldn't be so many
of these cases. Therefore, let us
pass such a law A thief is a thief
whether he wears dress suit or
carries a pistol.
If man would get life sentence
for theft of $4,000 to 100000, he
would think twice before stealing
So, let's have a law to that effect
and relative punishments for smaller
amounts.
In such cases we need a law which
provides that, in case or death of
these public enemies, their life in
surance would not be paid to the
beneficiaries until after the in
sured's defalcations are first made
good. The fact of the matter is
that the premiums on these policies
were paid from stolen money, any
way. And while on the subject
maybe it would be a good thing to
deduct debts from life insurance
settlements. at least to a specified
limit.

Capital Capers
by GEORGE ABEL

IRON Puerto Rico comes an interesting note:
Il Senator LUZ Munoz-Marin liberal leader of
Puerto Rico and advocate of the islands indie
pendence, was guest of honor at a luncheon on
board the Spanish warship, Juan Sebastian
Elcano celebrating the third anniversary of the
founding of the Spanish republic.
LUZ was called upon for speech. He arose
and gave the following toast to The future repub-
lie of Puerto Rico-a toast which was so cleverly
worded that Governor BlantOn WinShip and the
pro-StatehOod speakers of the Puerto Rican sem
ate and house of representatives drank it
standing.
Toasted LUZ:
ITO the Spanish people and to all peoples that
are offspring of the Spanish people:
ITO the Spanish republic and to all republics
that are, that will be- offspring of the Spanish
people and
TO all republics from which other republics
shall issue in the future; and therefore
ITO the president of the Spanish republic and
ITO the President of the United States"
Governor WinShip stood up and drained his
glass The two speakers followed suit. Liberal
followers of Munoz-Marin applauded their
leaders strategy.
DEER-MUSTACHED Jose Rchling, charge
ID d'affaires of Uruguay yesterday became
minister of Uruguay after changing into a
morning coat and greeting President Roosevelt
in excellent English.
Minister-elect Richling. who succeeds the I'M
fortunate Envoy Varela in his position as min
lister, arrived at the White House with the usual
fanfare of trumpets wearing top hat and
braided coat He made brief speech and was
ipso facto accredited.
Diplomats regard Minister Richling as a New
Yorker The latter has been consul of Uruguay
in Manhattan for some time When it became
evident that the late envoy here was persona
non grata with his government, Richling came
here and was accepted as representative of the
Montevideo regime. His promotion followed as
matter of course.
Union, gave a luncheon in honor of the new
envoy
please don't serve beer" insisted a colleague
why not?" asked Rowe
"Richling's mustaches would drip into it,"
sighed the other.
Leo gave luncheon of lamb stew and salad
invited Undersecretary of Agriculture Tugwen,
Assistant Secretary of State Sumner Wells,
United States consul general at Stuttgart Leon
Domnian. He served Costa Rican coffee.
Note-Diplomats at the Rowe luncheon OBJ
served that Dr. Richling wears his spectacles
like monocle-far back on his nose.
IRISH Minister Michael MacWhite was under
fire here for referring to Sam Houston as
the first Governor of Tennessee
At least a score of indignant TennesSeans
challenged the Irish minister's statement that
Sam Houston was the first Governor of their
State-and also that Houston was an Itishman
Minister Michael contented himself with
calm reiteration of his first statement
The first Governor of Tennessee" he said,
was Sam HouSton-an HiShman."

HE DOESN'T LIKE
HEARST PAPERS.
BY Charles Hooper

By Charles Hooper.
The Hearst papers pirate about
democracy, but give little or no
space to letters from the people
which are the very voice and spirit
of democracy.
Perhaps Mr.. Hearst feels that Mr.
Brisbane, his special editor and
grand vizier, epitomizes democracy
in himself, and is the boiled down
essence and composite picture of
100000 Americans in a mass, or
mess.
If Mr.. Brisbane be a great man,
great men are not always wise" "
In a recent editorial he refuses to
believe the truth that men have
lived to be more than 10; yet he
adds that the accounts of extreme
longevity in the Bible are to be
read 'reverently"
Such journalism, cautions. self
seeking, lacking in earnestness,
moral purpose, and crusading zeal,
builds up papers circulation, but
destroys society.

PROTESTS BRUTALITY
IN BEER Joints"

BY c. r. Buchanan.
The police ought to exercise some
supervision over the restaurants.
so called, where beer is sold. Some
of them are run by persons who
never should be in the business.
Strangers have come to Indianap-
oils in the past few months and
bought places to sell beer. Many of
them are, to say the least, question
able characters. The old good-na-
tured saloon keeper had some hui
manity. They have none.
Last Tuesday night the writer
was in place on the north side
taking a sandwich and a glass of
beer A young man whose father
and family have lived on Central
avenue for forty years, was standing
at the bar.
He had evidently taken few too
much and had been spending his
money there for several hours.
He had some words with an older
man.
The proprietor, big slugger
about six feet tall and weighing
about IT'S pounds, came from behind
the bar, grabbed the young fellow,
whirled him toward the door and
opening it, kicked him in the back
and threw him headlong into the
street where he fell On the car
tracks and was only saved by a
miracle from being ground to
death by street car.
One elderly man in the place pro-
tested to the proprietor; you had
no right to do that to that boy"
III do the same to you, he
answered. I'm the boss here" He
flung the crippled man toward the
door. Several of the other Gus
toners interfered or he would have
treated the elderly man in the same
way.
Do the police allow Joint owners
and bartenderS to treat citizens this
way?
If a man does wrong they should
call the police. They should not
take the law into their own hands.
This thing ought to be stopped and
I hope The Times win help stop it.

AUTOMOBILES KILL
MORE THAN WARS
BY Stuart A. Bishop

BY Stuart A. Bishop.
The large number of letters in
the Message Center, together with
| editorials and news articles during
the last few days, indicates wide
spread interest over the inadequate
ly marked dead-end streets at the
canal and Fall creek.
I heartily agree with all of this,
but desire to ask a question:
why do people get all het up
over the loss of only a few lives
once or twice year at Fall creek
and the canal, and show such abso-
lutte Indifference when thousands of
lives are needlessly lost every day?"
Why not eXpend ones energy and
effort on really big problem where
real results in the saving Of life are
obtainable.
During all the wars in which this
country has engaged as a nation
the Revolutionary, the War of
1872. the Mexican war, the Civil
war, the Spanish-American, and the
World war-Americans killed in &C
ton or who died of wounds-num-
bered less than 100000. During the
last fifteen years, a period approx
mating the total duration of these
six major wars, Americans killed in
automobile accidents within the
United States or who died of such
inilIrieS have numbered 325 000
An honest effort to observe the
Golden Rule by every person who
gets behind the wheel of an auto
mobile is one suggested remedy, and
1 will be glad to give other sug-
gestions to any person or group of
persons interested in doing some
thing worth while.

himself? And if it does, won't it
be justified?
His subsequent violation of the
trust placed in him is no reflection
on the clemency board that mis-
judged its man as all humans are
likely to do, but on him. It proved
that he was the sort that would
stab his best friend.
And any man-McNutt, Roosevelt
or Lincoln-would have accepted
the recommendation of the board.
Such was his clear duty. He should
be praised.
If Dillinger had become a public
benefactor after his release, lauda-
tory words would have been heaped
on every one concerned.
But since he didn't-Well-the
board and Governor McNutt who
acted in the best of faith are made
goats" by persons who would have
probably acted in exactly the same
way if they had been in their
places.
1t is practicable that Dillinger
will eventually get his just due. A
known criminal can not live long.
The next time, he'll be through.
And until then, it's everybody's
job to concentrate on his capture,
and not to make political capital
of unfortunate consequences.
Surely, Indiana isn't reverting to
the days when it was ruled by the
khan and Anti-Saloon League,
when passion and not reason pre-
vailed. The rest Of the country is
interested in the future Of Governor
McNutt and it doesn't like to see
him victim of blows below the
belt

URGES PAYMENT TO
VETERANS NOW

BY James E. Van Zandt.
The Veterans Of Foreign Wars Of
the United States are giving whole
hearted and aggressive support to
adoption of H. R. l, the Patman
bill, which authorizes immediate
cash payment of adjusted service
| certificates for the following rea-
sons:
The federal government will be
saved the annual appropriation of
$l12,000000 for twelve years or
total of $1,O0O,OO0O0.
The federal government will be
saved approximately $10,O00,000 in
administration costs of the adjusted
| compensation act between now and
/ 1945.
1t will discharge an obligation to
the veteran that already has been
acknowledged, without increasing
the national debt.
1t will give the right to the vet
eran to deposit his certificate, gov
eminent obligation, in exchange for
new currency, privilege that is
now being extended to federal re-
yerve banks and all national banks.
The face value Of the average out
standing certificate is $1,000. Pay
ment at the present time will pre-
vent the loss through compound in
terest charges of approximately $500
to every veteran who has been
forced to borrow so per cent of the
loan value.
The method of payment proposed
in H. r. l will require no bond is
sue, no increased taxes, no addi-
tional interest payments by the fed
eral government.
In the general fund of the United
States treasury at the present time,
there is a total Of S3126,G00.000 in
unencumbered gold. This does not
include gold owned by the federal
reserve banks. This gold is suf-
fcient to issue S8O0O,000,000 in new
currency without reducing the gold
reserve to point lower than the
40 per cent gold basis demanded by
law.
With the back of this gold re-
serve, all danger Of printing press
currency initiation" is eliminated.
The bill gives the federal govern
ment complete control Of the cur
rency situation at all times.
approximately 100000 veterans
hold World var adjusted service
certificates. They represent ap-
proximately 100000 consumers.
Purchasing power amounting TO
81 500 100000 will be placed in the
hands of these consumers, a pro-
posal that is directly in line with
the present recovery program of the
administration.
Creation Of purchasing power in
this fashion will avoid the dangers
Of graft or favoritism and the build
ng up Of huge political pay rolls.

smile for his greed, or Dillinger TAX
ing the bankers money for his pro-
lection and life?
Dillinger does not take money be-
cause he wants to, but because he
can't work and must live. It takes
money to evade his enemies, and
keep on the alert.
I can't see how person like Jerry
Taylor. can say what he says, and
call other persons idiots. He must
have no heart, or be a banker.
Is Dillinger really bad? I should
say not. He kills those who are
eager for his life. And why not?
The ones who tip the law off are
worse than the outlaw. He is well
come at my house any time, and as
long as he wishes.
Here's to more Dillingers and
fewer crooked politicians, and hope
they never catch him.
