Undergrad Postal Workers

All of us have passed a civil
service test in competition with
thousands of others. Does not
the fact that only about thirty out
of every 1000 applicants receive
appointments; that the govern
ment expects and gets only men
Of the better trained and ed
ucated type. What good is an
education if the best you can
expect is an average of only $12
a week over period of two
years?
The government always has run
the postoffice for service. Rates
were raised to help pay expenses.
Now they cut their employees to
save more. Yet the service is
worse. Under Mr.. Farley's latest
order deliveries can be restricted
to three-a-day in the business
district and one in the residential
areas. He stopped vacations I'M
til July l.
The public has right to postal
service and should demand it.

SHOOTING IN CITY
LIMITS PROTESTED
Rr Mrs. Emerson Terrell

BY Mrs. Emerson Terrell
I have been a subscriber of your
paper for years and like it very
much.
You may be able to do something
now that may save some persons
life, for it is an evident fact that
there is shooting being done inside
the city limits.
We have had a Llewellyn setter
dog since he was five weeks old and
he will be three years old in May.
He loves children and they like to
play with him.
We have been letting him out for
a short while during mornings and
evenings and he only stays about
an hour.
Tuesday morning he was gone
longer than usual. We became
alarmed and started looking for him
and here he came dragging his
right foot with a 20 rifle bullet in
his shoulder. If this was done on
purpose, which I can't believe, or
by accident, it easily could have
been some person or child. Don't
you think something should be done
about it?

AMERICAN LEGION SHOULD
CLEAN HOUSE, HE SAYS.

By Thomas C. Shepard
I am proud to be a reader of your
paper. want to commend you for
giving views of the people.
am disabled World war vet
eran. I do not condemn the rank
and file of the American Legion. My
remarks are based on the Congress
sional Record of March 16, 1884.
Louis Johnson last year in a let
ter to a member of the congress
which was read into the record, ap-
proved the economy bill. Raymond
Kelly, now chairman of the legiSla-
tive committee of the American
Legion, at the state convention at
Grand Rapids, showed the alleged
connivance that was going on at the
national headquarters at Indianap-
oils for years. A small group of
men, known as Kingmakers were
alleged to be directing the legion
for their own purposes. These men
are said to have boasted that they
controlled the policies Of the legion
and picked the national command
erS. The rank and file of the legion
protested against this.
The American Legion should clean
house and make a clean fight for
the buck private in the rear rank.
The colonies can take care of them
selves. The privates need help, not
the colonies.
When the Legion cleans house give
each and every member legal vote
instead of letting some delegate vote
for the rank and file. Make a clean
fight for all disabled veterans and
I will be proud to wear the legion
button again.

When we put our money in the

when your back is turned these
same men gamble your money on
worthless stocks and real estate.
Then they come out with the state
ment they are forced to close. You
are out. But the state says it is
legal.
If Dillinger robs a bank, that's
robbery. The state says it's illegal.
Why don't the police go cunning

No wonder Indiana is noted for
rotten politics. The blame is not on
these crooks, but on the boys higher

UTLEY'S SPEECH FELL
FLAT WITH HIM
By Reformed Republican.

By Reformed Republican.
Much as I hate TO reSurrect the
dead, your story United States on
the Road to Moscow" has awak-
ened in me a genuine fear "of the
big, bad wolf" The most amusing
thing about it was that you had
sense OF humor enough to publish
such bellicose bellerings from
quite obviously puerile alarmist.
Surely, Mr.. Editor, wasn't it some
sort OF practical joke you were play
ing on the HoOsier members of the
National Metal Trades Association?
1t can't be possible that Mr.. Utley's
audience took him seriously and it
is hard to conjecture that a man
OF his position likewise can hope to
be taken seriously by mounting such
a.Sininities.
Apparently Mr.. Utley is not read
so widely on his subject or he never
would have made such absurd state
ments. And coincident with his
talk, when, if ever, didn't big busi-
ness dictate to government? The
record Is too long and filthy even
to essay a chronological report here,
but the point is, does Mr.. Utley
propaganda for return to Hoo
Verlsm, Coolidgeism, Hardingism?
The only thing have to say is, if
members Of Mr.. Utleys audience &C
tually took him seriously they are
far more susceptible to the ranting
of a puppet of Melons monarchy
than the workers who punch their
employers time clocks. His rawlings
sound more like excerpts from some
Of Lii Artha's speeches and carry
Just about as much weight with in
telligent people. The man is 'utley'
impossible. Murray for the Roose-
welt revolution.

BY Substitute Postal Employe.


Substitute postal employees of
the country recently held a con-
vention in Chicago to devise ways
and means of making a decent
living. At our local Office last
Friday there many pay checks, is
sued to substitute employees, which
totaled less than SIS for fifteen
days work. One substitute drew
So cents. How can we raise our
families, pay bills, taxes and eat
on such money?
It is time the government has
taken heed of the pitiful condi-
ton of its substitute employees.
Reports from over the country
show most of the big cities are
hurt worse than we are.
More than 500 substitutes in
Chicago were furloughed and in
New York City substitute workers
staged a parade of protest against
So week jobs. How about a
little NRA for the despised and
rundown sub postal employee?

COPS HOUND EX-CONVICTS
BACK TO PRISONS
By a Times Reader

By a Times Reader
I wish every state official and law
maker could look into the minds
and hearts of the public. 1t is alb
solutely inconceivable that they can
reform convicts by turning them out
Of jails, ETC., and expect them to dc
right with a gang of blood thirsty
cops and detectives bounding them
placing no confidence in them.
Every time they get a job some
wise guy slips in and tells the en-
ployers he is an ex-convict and whiz
goes his job. Take Mr.. Bunk for
instance. They are getting him ready
to be another delinquent, because he
won't admit to a bunch Of fabrica-
tons to satisfy some who are worse
than he.
Dillinger never killed any one and
how they can call him a terrorist is
a mystery. We, the citizens are not
afraid Of him. The entire COM
munity hopes he never gets caught.
Johnny Dillinger is wonderful.

THE BOSS GOES ON

WTHEN New York City voters booted Tam
many Hall out Of control last fall, it was
taken for granted that movement was be-
ginning in the nation which would replace
old-line political bosses everywhere with re-
form administrations. Apparently this sup
position was gross overestimate
Kansas City, for instance, INDUCED in a
hot campaign, held a somewhat riotous cleo
tion-and Tom Pendergast, Democratic boss,
still rules the roost. The Fusion ticket that
was raised against him went down to de-
cisive defeat.
The fight against boSsism in the United
States has hardly more than begun. When
an outfit like the Pendergast machine can
win out over well-hnanced and ably-led re-
form campaign, it Is evident that the average
citizen has not yet awakened to the i'm
portance of a housekeeping in municipal
politics.

ROOSEVELT REPLIES

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S Endorsement Of
the Norris-Lea amendment to the Con-
stitution for more direct election of Presidents
blows like fresh air across the fevered hysteria
of the current revolution and dictatorship
DOGGY.
The plan the President indorses would
make it virtually impossible for any party or
any individual to perpetrate himself in Office
against the wishes of majority in an election.
Under the electoral college system of
choosing Presidents, three men have been
elected against the wishes of a majority of
the voters. This can not happen again if the
Norris-Lea amendment is ratified. It pro-
videS that hereafter the electoral vote of each
state shall be divided among the candidates
according to the proportion of the popular
vote they receive.
New York's forty-f1ve electoral votes would
have been divided between Roosevelt and
Hoover in 1882. under the new plan, instead
of being given to Roosevelt as a unit because
he had a majority of the popular vote cast in
the state. In 1928 they would have been di-
vded between Hoover and Smith. Instead
they were all counted for Hoover though he
had bare majority of the popular vote. The
huge group of New Workers who voted for
Smith were disfranchised when final results
were tabulated under the electoral college
system.
If the Norris-Lea amendment is approved
by congress this year as Mr.. Roosevelt urges,
the states will have an opportunity to ratify it
before the next presidential election. No more
no OIL Of he D~ac
dents desire to perpetuate popular government.

Another New King Seen.

The wind of monarchial reStora-
tions has spread from West to East.
Strange as it may seem, there is a
growing feeling throughout Northern
China in favor of Pu-Yi'S return to
his ancestral throne in Pekin. The
move is noticeable among the man
DARN class and the very low classes.
The mandarins disdain the ineffi-
cient, selfish war lords from Nanking
and the South. They consider them
dishonest and cowardly and accuse
them of having sold Chinas interest
to foreigners, including the japanese.
They have no confidence in the res
toration of China under the leader
ship of the war lords, but believe in
better times under the leadership of
the Emperor of Manchukuo. They
are less hostile to Toxic than to
Marking and Canton. The Japa-
nese, they say, are ignorant SOL
diers who will eventually be alb
ton. Hence no harm if Northern
China is reunited to Manchukuo un-
der a Japanese protectorate.

Pi-Yi is a matter of time and rejoice
at the idea of having him back on
