LETTING THE INDIANS BE

THE great white father in Washington has
u stopped trying to force the Indian to be-
have like the white man. and is going to give
the tribeSmen every chance to continue their
own development along their own lines.
This promise was made in a recent lecture
in Washington by Ward Shepard of the bureau
OF Indian affairs. 1t symbolizes reform in
Indian administration that has long been over
due.
As Mr.. Shepard says the effort to "civilize"
the red man according to white standards was
doomed to failure from the start. To trans
plant stone age people into an intricate in
dustrial civilization is hopeless task. 1t has
led to confusion. injustice. unhappiness, and a
serious deterioration of Indian life.
We owe huge debt to the Indians, though
We don't often realize it. Helping them to
develop in their own way will be partial re-
payment

GET READY TO ACT

DREsIDENT ROOSEVELT believes that
every state in the union will copy the
governments federal power project in the
Tennessee Valley. He recognizes the fact that
the only way that utility can be controlled
successfully is BY competition.
Indiana should begin to get ready for
cheaper power. The next session of the legis-
lature should pave the way for publicly-owned
power projects. which will mean lower rates
and more industries for the state.
An Indiana Power Authority should be set
up This organization would be self-fnsncing
Il would issue its own bonds. the yield on
which would be guaranteed by the taxpayers
All Of the earnings from power sold would

power dam could be built in northeastern
Indiana. Because this dam would also be part
Of the Mississippi Flood Control plan federal
funds would be available for its construction.
The Indiana Power Authority could install the
generating equipment.
The authority also should construct a steam
plant in the western part Of the state, thus
furnishing a market for coal and giving en-
ployment to workers in the mining industry.
In the southern Indiana the authority well
could arrange for the transmission Of IVA
power to Evansville and neighboring COM
munties.
This plan would take nothing out Of the
pockets of the taxpayers. 1t would catch the
private utilities in the jaws Of a vice. If they
did not behave all the authority would have
IN do would be to extend its facilities and wipe
out the recslcitrant and mismanaged concerns
Such a plan would be far more effective
than a thousand legal maneuverings and trials
The utilities have proved by their own record
in the last fifteen years that there is just one
thing to do with them: Treat em rough!"

MUCH WORK TO DO

THOSE sleeky, streamlined trains that the
l. railway lines have been throwing about
the country lately come close to being the
most encouraging single thing that has hap
pened since the depression.
or, to be more exact. the public's response
to them does.
Since those trains appeared, the newspapers
and magazines have been full Of predictions OF
vast new railroad construction programs. Hand
in hand with this has come great revival OF
interest in new types of construction in other
fields
Makers of steel houses are stirring from
the long sleep. Automobile makers are play
ing around with new designs. Even the out
put of such things refrigerators and house
hold furniture has been affected.
Now all this, to begin with is simply the
process of putting ourselves on tiptoe to peer
into an enormous new field that is fairly beg
ging for industrial expansion.
A great opportunity awaits American
business, somewhere not far off; it begins to
Iook as if we would be moving into it in the
near future.
But there is more to it than that. 1t also
signifies the revival Of the old, traditional
American spirit We are discovering that the
world is not coming to an end, after all-that
there is work to be done, and lots of it, and
that we might just as we'll roll up our sleeves
and get busy on it.
We talked so much about overproduction
overexpansion, and overcaptalization in the
last four years that we fooled ourselves into
thinking that we had left our golden age away
behind us somewhere.
Everything was finished, all the big jobs
had been done and the only thing that would
ever set the wheels going again was a great
program of occasionally useless public works.
Then we saw a couple of brand new types
of railroad train, did a little meditation, and
discovered that it just wasn't so.
There is enough work crying to be done in
this country to keep us all busy for genera
tons.
When We have remade the worlds greatest
railroad system, rebuilt some millions OF homes,
harnessed ali our streams, restored our failing
forests. checked soil erosion and performed
dozen other similar fifty-year jobs-then it
may be time for us to look around and ask,
What next?"
But we won't see that time. Our grand
children may, if they live long.
Greater than all other troubles of the de-
preston was the paralysis that fell on the old
American spirit of determination and hope.
That spirit is now reviving. There could not
possibly be better augury for the future

NO PART REPRESENTATIVE

T. F. HUTTON of New York one of the
II founders of the American Liberty League,
feels that congress and the world of business
must get better understanding Of each other.
and that it is up to the business men to see to
it that that is done.
IF we admit" he says, that this country
is essentially nation of business people then
it becomes basically sound that they should
have something to say in the halls of congress"
Now while this plea is certainly sensible
enough, it contains the kind of misconception
which pleaders for special groups are forever
making. This country isn't essentially ma
ton of business people, any more than it is
essentially nation of farmers, or steel work.
ers or white-collar men.
1t is a vast nation of human beings who
enjoy certain rights as American citizens.
Nothing but confusion can arise from the idea
that any one group has paramount rights and
represents the whole.

the Republicans. Two grains are
not much but when you compare
it with that Of the Republicans, it
is so much.
Indianapolis had more intelligent
voters in 1892 and in 1884. These
that are missing either must be
dead, away from town or sick.
If they were not dead, away from
town or sick politically they would
have more respect for their city
political welfare.
AS for the next three years my
guess is they will be like the last
five.
There are more politically-minded
people in Memphis, Tenn, than in
indianapolis.
This election was victory for the
Indianapolis city utility companies,
majority of employers and some
politicians who, by the way are
their agents in the governing power
of city, state and nation.
The jobless and underpaid en-
ployed are defeated; they will have
what they voted for, they closed
their eyes and voted for the past,
they forgot or refused to see the
future, but nevertheless they can
look in each others face the COM
ing years and say: How foolish we
are"
You who did not vote and you
who voted backward, be more polit-
ically-minded in the future, think
more than twice before you vote.

THINK TWICE BEFORE
YOU CAST A VOTE

By I. C. Young.
May I be allowed to comment on
the election of Nov. 6? The voters on
that day demonstrated that the de-
preston has not taught them a
thing.
OF the nearly 10000 who voted
Republican 80 per cent were workers
in need of a job or more wages.
BY voting Republican they demon
strated beyond doubt their back
wardneSs in politics. This applies to
workers Of hands as well Of brains.
You can not 60 to heaven by TAX
ing the road to hell. You can not
adjust social injustice by voting
for those whose sole interests are
to continue the social injustice.
Theodore Roosevelt was the best
President the Republicans ever gave
us. but even he, all he wished to
give to a working man was a full
pail.
Lincoln was not given to Us by
the Republicans, Lincoln gave him
self to the nation. The Republicans
never did and never win believe in
Lincoln's human principles.

PUBLICATION OF WAGE
RATES HERE SUGGESTED
By viii H. Craig.

BY Will H. Craig.
The articles printed in The Times
by John T. Moutoux on the IVA,
the great Tennessee valley expert
ment, were informative and inter-
esting. His final article admits that
no one can estimate its cost or
benefits. Time alone can tell.
In his description Of the model
town of Norris, he gives the cost OF
houses at from $500 to $500 and
rents at from s1450 to s45 a month.
The thing that puzzles me is how
a small, three-room house costs
50, 500 and a seven or eight-room
house costs $500. The same thing
is true Of the houses TO be built in
the "slum" districts in indianapolis.
To make the facts clear, Mr.. Mou-
toux should have given the wage
scales for common, Semi-skilled and
skilled labor, and then compare
these wages with those paid in the
mountain districts of the south. Why
not give all the facts? 1t is a safe
guess that the men on these public
works are getting from three TO six
times as much as those in similar
private work in the Tennessee
valley.
The Times wisely suggested in an
editorial that the high wages and

Youths Needed IN Politics

By w. H. Bremen
The youths who urge new blood
in their political parties should
get permission from the old lead
ers to put up young men in the
Second district and let them go
out and stump the district on
their own, like young Richard
James did in Portland, Ind, and
won.
If the young set is in earnest,
the members will make try for
it and the press should help. I
would like to see two good orators,
young and able, hook up in this
race with no help except from the
young set.
If youths are to get anywhere
in politics, they must not let the
old set hold them back. And this
is as good a time as any to step
out in front and show their
strength. They have the greatest
orators in the world-college man
and women, who can turn back
the old set with ease.
All the youths need to select
candidates, if the bosses in the
two old parties will let them, and
make a race Of it without piling
in bales of money.
We want to know youths views
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-11-20

on the political matters, and the
best way to find out is to see it
acted out Of course, there will
be many to seek the nominations,
so here is youths big chance.
This kind of a race will not
hurt either side much, nor will it
help much only to give the entire
country a chance to see if we are
right in urging young men and
young women to be more active
in politics. I say it will attract
interest Of the entire nation.
If such man as young Mr..
James can be persuaded to make
the race, on either side, this race
will put them two years ahead. on
our young set in politics. The
people will get everything they
say, and it's worth a big effort on
the young sets part to put on
race of national interest like this.
If some of the young leaders
will get behind this plan on each
side, Democrats and Republicans,
there will be more looking on
than any congressional race ever
held to fill vacancy and all be-
cause it is youth in the race.
If you favor this kind of a race,
tell the people to clear decks and
let them race it out.

Of any one to dispute the patriotism Of NUM-
tons makers.
The senate committee brought out tes-
timony that during the World war the Du
Pont company received si,245 900 in or
ders and paid dividends totaling 45s per cent
Of the par value Of the original stock.
Now Mr.. Lsmmot Du Pont declares that
the federal government has both the right
and the duty to curb excessive wartime profits
in all lines Of industry.
The Du Pont opposition to naturalization

CCC WORKERS REPLY
TO CRITICAL NOTES
BY clifford Calvin, Russell Fisher,

By Clifford Calvin, Russell Fisher,
Nashville, Ind.
In answer to our letter on the
CCC, published recently, we have
noted many kind replies and two
not so kind from Bloomington. No
personalities are intended, condi-
tons only are criticised. In our
opinion very few things only render
Weed Patch Hill endurable. Among
these are, first; our mess, the best
in the state and rendered so by the
ceaseleSS efforts Of a service man
in charge, second, the praiseworthy
humanity and consideration Of some
Of our leaders in their treatment Of
the very human problems Of the
men in their charge and the COM
radeship Of fellow workers.
This is the result of our efforts, in
spite of our critics. We have waded
in corruption, filth and unmention-
able hardships to preserve your
homes and ours. Have our critics
done as much to preserve our homes
and theirs? IN the loss Of these
homes who, therefore is most to be
blamed? When We demand our So
called bonus" because We are in
need and it will be mighty ham
mer to knock of our shackles are
we more TO be blamed than the
banksters who have been drawing
their billion dollar yearly bonus in
war bond interest since the war?
We are inclined to judge Bloom
