FREEDOM OR FREEBOOTING?

TT was said of the fiery pamphleteer, Thomas
u Paine that his pen was a more effective
weapon in the Revolutionary war than Gen.
washingtons sword. Colonists, emotionally
in favor of New Deal. went to Paines
writings for arguments to support their own
convictions.
Henry A Wallace, secretary of agriculture,
Is the Thomas Paine of the New Deal. If
excerpts published by Golfers Weekly from
his forthcoming book, New Frontiers" are
typical New Dealers will find it a valuable
source of campaign ammunition. The Roose-
welt administration boasts many competent
economists, but none other has Wallaces
ability to make complex modern problems
understandable to the man in the street.
His chapter on The Tyranny of Greed"
does more than answer former President
Hoover's Challenge to Liberty"
Spiking the cry Of less government in
business and more business in government"
Mr. Wallace points out that business has had
both hands in government since the early days
of the republic. and has built up vested inter-
ests through tariffs. subsidies. government
loans and government protection Of big bank
ing houses.
The legalized thievery Of the tariff prob
ably is working more harm to the people of
the United States than all other forms of rob-
berry put together" he writes.
OF special interest is his expose of the
lobby racket. The alarming thing in WASH
ington is not that there are so many special
pressure groups but that there are so few
people who are concerned solely with looking
at the picture from a broad national angle"
What the old dealers want. according to
Mr.. wallace. is not freedom" but free
booting.'
The purpose Of the secretary is to keep the
old order on the defensive; he seems to be
succeeding

people of this country, and not the
personal property of Jim Farley and
a few other Democratic politicians.
Now, since the sum total and net
result of the NRA, CWA, PWA,
AAA, FERA and other alphabetical
experiments with the destinies of
the American peiple is that 49,
100000 will be dependent upon re-
lief next winter, The Times and
others are not justified in their
criticism and ridlcule Of Senator
Robinson in his position on ma
tional affairs.
OF course, HooSiers have as much
political sense as New Workers who
presented Jim Farley and the ma
tional administration swift kick
when they defeated the administra-
ton candidate for mayor at the last
municipal election.
Hoosiers will follow the example
of California, where Democrats de-
feated George Creel, whose race for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor Jim Farley espoused and NOM
mated Upton Sinclair instead,
Don't worry, Jim, Indiana will re-
turn Senator Robinson to the SEN
ate and not a mere rubber stamp.

NOISE
BY POLLY LOIS NORTON

ID FOLLI LUIS NOhl
The voices Of the great city, -
Though clamorous and loud and
never ceasing,
Sing to me, tell me how the city
lives
They are the heart-throbs, the pulse
beats
That say, Here is life"
The rapidly moving throngs,
The clang OF cars,
The whirring Of wheels,
The bells soft chime,
The rush of hurried ambulances
through the streets
The creak Of high-boards In the
wind,
The cry of extra-editions paper
boys.
All are bone and muscle,
Flesh and sinew,
A vital part, and natural Of this
town.
But in the country
When the night comes down
And one lies waking, fearful in the
dark,
And hears the croaking frogs.
The noisy bugs,
The lonesome call OF far-off train.
The soft twitter Of nesting birds
disturbed.
Then one knows what true noise is--
The rasping noise Of silence.

HOMESTEAD PLAN
DETAILS DISCUSSED
By Bert wilhelm.

BY Bert Wilhelm.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
in his inaugural address, likened the
condition of the country to a storm
at sea. 1t has been the rule of the
sea for centuries that when boat
is laundering, to save the women,
children and the aged first. This
rule is one of the Presidents ideals,
but he has been unable to follow it
to any great extent up to the pres
ent and had to be satisfied with
temporary relief until other impor-
tant matters were taken care Of.
However, a start has been made to
extend lasting aid to those too old
to obtain employment in industry.
The best minds of the nation have
pointed out that the day of mass
production and Capitalization of
wealth and population is coming to
an end. The small factory for the
small community, serving a limited
area and the back to the land move
ment of those past the middle Of
life is the solution of the problem Of
decentralization. Mrs. Roosevelt,
taking her place beside the PreSi-
dent, has developed typical settle
ment of the kind mentioned, in
Reedsville, Va. The whole problem
can be stated in these few words,
Put the idle man on the idle land
with a sack of seed and a hoe in his
hand and they both will be idle no
more"
To accomplish this we must pro-
vide the idle man with a modest
home on a small acreage. The sum
of $4,000 would supply nve acres Of
land and a wen-built cottage, ga
rage and small outbuildings, pre-
pare the land for a crop, buy the
seed, twelve chickens and COW and
support a family of five for five
months.
Marion county in 1888 spent
So, 900 900 to aid the needy. This
money would supply 1000 Of these
houses and put 10000 persons out on
land where they could have their
own gardens. milk and eggs and re-
quire no assistance.
Construction of the homes would
employ 1000 workers for most Of the
winter and would stimulate business
to great extent by pay rolls being

Spoas System Declared Blow to State Library

ing a new state library and man
ming it with political appointees
is Just as consistent as Governor
McNutt's proposed plan for build
ing the prison walls higher in
order to keep convictS from escap-
ing through the doors, which
method of escape was made pos
sibIe by the appointment of inef-
ficient guards to replace the eff
Gent and trained personnel of the
state penal institutions.
The discharge Of practically all
experienced state librarians and
the appointment of inefficient po-
litical workers to replace them is
one of the greatest blots on the
records of the state, and is the
direct result of the SpoilS system
inaugurated by the McNutt adj
miniStration. The efficiency de-
stroyed by this spoils system will
require fifteen years to replace and
is a loss too great to be accurately
estimated.

stead plan is not new idea.
More than 1000 years ago, when
Caesar recommended agrarian laws
of Rome, the condition was similar
to our present economic condition.
While labor saving machinery still
was unheard of, slave labor was so
plentiful that the Roman citizen
found himself in the same condition
as the industrial worker today.
Napoleon adopted the same plan
in France, borrowing the idea from
the Romans and enjoyed the same
satisfactory results. Through a
similar system the Irish people,
after centuries of depression
emerged prosperous after few years
of freedom, fortified by home life
and the healthful environment Of a
rural habitation.
The province of Quebec is the

which never has felt the effect Of

State officials are proclaiming
the opening of the new Indiana
state library and are hailing it as
one of the great achievements of
the present administration and
one of the outstanding events OF
Indiana history.
Although the library, which is
one of the finest in the world, has
been completed during the pres
ent administration, no credit can
be claimed for its construction by
the Democratic party. The con-
struction of the building was au-
thorized by IAN act providing for
the construction and equipment
of q state library" This act OF
the legislature was approved by
Governor Harry G. Leslie on
March 9, 1929.
Regardless of where the credit
belongs, what good is any public
institution if handled inefflciently?

TEXTILE STRIKER
ASSAILS POLICE

BY a Striker.
I would like to express my views
in The Message Center about the
textile strike. It seems like the
striker does not have a chance to
do anything.
When the strike first started the
police stood on the picket line eat
ing the strikers food because they
were then on the strikers side. Now
since one man has the new dining
room, he has been feeding the cops
and coaxing them along so they
could protect the scabs. They are
helping the scabs and beating the
strikers with their clubs.

DANGER OF FIRE AT
ARMORY CITED.

BY Mrs. E. b w.
I attended the wrestling match at
the armory Tuesday night.
The hall was packed with men
and women, and there were several
small children there. Smoking was
very much in evidence all over the
hall.
The interior of the hall is wood.
The floor appeared to have been
oiled.
If a fire had broken out in that
hall shudder to think what would
have been the outcome. I heard
this discussed by quite few who
were there.
Where are the fire inspectors?
Why do they allow smoking in the
hall? Can't something be done be-
fore it is too late?
