Hands Off the State Police
AN EDITORIAL

zer for disloyalty, but Dozier is still on the
pay roll"
By what legal authority does the Cover
nor's secretary presume to instruct" the head
Of the state police? Do the taxpayers hold
Mr.. Greenlee responsible for the efficiency of
the force?
Mr.. Greenlee is an honest, efficient and
loyal secretary, but he is taking in entirely too
much territory. He is assuming power without
having the public responsibility The Cover
nor is the man who was elected by the people
to give instructions to heads of state de-
partments
The NIcNutt administration rapidly is ap-
preaching a cross roads. In one year it has
established a remarkable record on utility
regulation, reorganization of the state govern
ment and economy. If it continues along this
road it will make a record unsurpassed in any
state.
If it digresses along the other path of self
seeking political ambition it is marching
straight for national oblivion. 1t is an open
secret that Mr.. Greenlee believes Governor
NcNutt some day may be President. That is
wholly laudable. Indiana would be proud to
give a President to the nation, but the place
for the Governor to make a record is in his
home state, from which he has been absent
too frequently.
And a good place to start that record is in
building up an efficient, nonpolitical system of
law enforcement. Indiana often has been in
the clutches of tawdry, selfish and illiterate
cliQUes
People are beginning to wonder now
whether their state is drifting into the control
of pseudo-leaders, picnic opportunists, who
can not meet emergencies who understand
nothing but maneuvering for position, inflated
prestige and the petty rewards of temporary
power.

THE MILK DECISION

TN a second ringing decision that should
l. quiet the legalistic minds and bolster
public confidence generally in the recovery
program, the United States supreme court
has recognized that in an emergency the gov
eminent is entirely within the Constitution
when it takes extraordinary steps to protect
the public interest.
The court upheld the milk regulation law
of New York state Its decision reaches far
Their than a single case or a single law. JUS
tice Roberts, joined by Chief Justice Hughes
and Justices Cardoza, Stone and Brandeis,
handed down a decree that will affect the
whole recovery program.
Written almost as if aimed directly at
legalistic critics of MIRA, the decision said:
THE laW-making bodies have in the past
endeavored to promote free competition by
laws aimed at trusts and monopolies. The
consequent interference with private property
and freedom of contract has not availed with
the courts to set these enactments aside as
denying due process. Where the public in
terest was deemed to require the fixing of
minimum prices, that expedient has been
sustained.
IF the law-making body within its sphere
of government concludes that the conditions
or practices in an industry make unrestricted
competition an inadequate safeguard of the
consumers interest, produce waste harmful to
the public, threaten ultimately to cut off the
supply of a commodity needed by the public,
or portend the destruction of the industry it.
self, appropriate statutes passed in an honest
effort to correct the threatened consequences
may not be set aside because the regulation
adopted fixes prices reasonably deemed by the
legislature to be fair to those engaged in the
industry and to the consuming public.
The Constitution does not secure to any
one liberty to conduct his business in such
fashion as to inflict injury upon the public
at large, or upon any substantial group Of the
people"
The relation of this to NRA is obvious. The
chief purpose of NRA is to prevent the con-
duct of business in such way as to inf1ict
injury on substantial groups of the people
through sweatshops child labor, unfair COM
petition low wages, unequal bargaining and
inadequate mass purchasing power. It is futile
for selfish interests to try to use the Consti-
tuition as a cover for such abuses of industrial
power.

PRESIDENTS GOLD MOVE
RECALLS SPARTAN DAYS
By Mrs. Minnie E. Thompson

By Mrs. Minnie E. Thompson
History repeats itself. The recent
calling in of all gold by our Presi-
dent brings to our mind another
happening which made history.
We are told by Plutarch that Ly-
curgus, the great laWgiver of Sparta.
who lived in the Ninth century B. c..
IN order that there might be no obi
GUS distinction or inequality among
his people, commanded that all gold
and silver be called in and a sort of
iron, a great weight and quantity
Of which was of very little worth.
so that to pay up twenty or thirty
pounds required large closet, be
issued.
This banished at once a number
Of vices: Hoarding, robbery, bribery,
etc. Also, as this money was ridi-
culed among the other Greeks, there
was no means Of purchasing foreign
goods, so that luxury wasted and
died away. The rich had no advan-
tage over the poor, as their wealth
had no road to come abroad by, but
was shut up at home. And, in this
way, they became excellent artists
in common necessary things: Bed
steads, chairs, tables and staple uten-
sis in a family were admirably
made there. And, whatever tends
to increase our permanent bodily
comfort, either in the way Of food,
clothing or shelter, or to satisfy the
intimate longipgs Of the mind,
whether it be the ambition to excel
IN art or amusements, ETC., all tends
to elevate the intellectual faculty of
man and is regarded as widening
the gap which exists between the
highest and the lowest races of man.

THURSDAY. MARCH g. 1884.
THE AIR MAIL EXPERIMENT

ME President has decided to return to the
system Of commercial air mail contracts.
Experience shows that the army air corns
at present is neither trained nor equipped to
carry the mails safely and adequately. Of
course, no one doubts the willingness ana abil-
ity Of the army air corps TO fly the mail. or of
government postal air corps to do the lob
well after preparatory period sufficient to
acquire proper equipment and training.
But meanwhile there is the immediate
problem to be solved at a time when the fed
eral government is very busy with other mat
ters OF vast importance. So the President
must try to unload this problem which was
visited on him by the sins Of the Hoover adj
ministration and selfish contractors.
Before the Presidents critics rejoice too
loudly over the proposed return of the air mail
to private companies they should STUDY the
sweeping restrictions which he asks congress
to write into the new legislation These re-
strictions include:
Contracts to be let for not more than three
years, after open competitive bidding, at a lin
tied compensation rate, with rigid specifica-
tons for equipment and safety. Any combi-
nations or understandings intended 70 prevent
competitive bidding shall be a basis for con-
tract cancellation. No contract shall be given
to any company having any connections with
holding or subsidiary companies directly or
indirectly in operating competition or in the
manufacture of planes or accessories No con-
tract shall be made with any company whose
officers were party to former contracts OBJ
to
good faith and public policy" Pilots shall be
protected by maximum hour, minimum wage
and annuity provisions. Stockholders shall be
protected against excessive company salaries
and unearned bonuses. Finally. six months be-
fore expiration Of these contracts, The Inter
state Commerce Commission shall pass upon
the question of public convenience and neces-
sitv of air mail routes, and thereafter fix a
maximum rate of air mail pay on the routes
designated, subject, of course, to equipment
specifications to be laid down"
In other words the Presidents policy is
private operation under exceedingly strict gov
eminent regulation.
Whether this is the best possible permanent
system we do not know. Can a strong pri-
vate commercial aviation industry develop
under the proposed restrictions which seem to
be loaded in favor of small so-called indepen-
dents? Might government operation eventually
provide better results for mail and for national
defense?
These are some of the questions which must
be answered before a permanent policy can be
fixed intelligently. Perhaps we shall know
some of the answers only after the proposed
Roosevelt experiment IS tried.

wake UP" IS PLEA
TO AMERICAN PEOPLE

ny wary +. wright
Do you know the facts? The
Congressional Record for June TO-.
1882, quoting Congressman Louis
T. McFadden before the house.
says:
Some people think the federal
reserve banks are United States
government institutions. They are
not government institutions. They
are private credit monopolies which
prey upon the people of the United
States for the benefit of themselves
and their foreign customers, foreign
IN q domestic spectators and
Swindlers, and rich and predatory
money lenders.
I'm that dark crew of financial
pirates there are those who would
cut mans throat to get dollar
out Of his pocket. There are those
who send money into states to buy
votes to control our legislation, and
there are those who maintain an
international propaganda for the
purpose Of deceiving us and of
wheeling us into the granting Of
new concessions which will permit
them to cover up their past mis-
deeds and set again in motion their
gigantic train of crime"

open your eyes, and then you can

ANOTHER LAUGH

IF YOU feel that something drastic ought to
l. be done about saving the republic, and if
you also like to wear nice uniforms and have
a feeling of vague supernaturalism, then you
surely will want to know about the Silver
Shirts.
This seems to be Fascist sort of outfit
now being organized in the middle west.
Its leader is a man who says that he once
died and then returned to earth, endowed
with supernatural powers As a result 1t
seems. he possesses psychic antennae," with
which he is able to perform such prodigies
as to make forecasts according to the dates
which are inscribed IN stone on the great
pyramid of Gizeh.
1t should be added. perhaps, that the gen.
tlenan once was employed as a scenario
writer in Hollywood.
Some time between now and 1886, the Sill
yer Shirts plan 20 seize the reins of govern
men in the United States. They are opposed
violently to all Jews. asserting that the Jews
control both international finance and the
United States administration.
You can join this ineffable outfit for ST.
which brings you a neat uniform consisting
of campaign hat, silver shirt, blue corduroy
pants. leggngs and tie. Presumably, also,
you are put in touch with the leaders mys-
tic revelations from beyond the void.
Now all this-which must be taken seri-
ously by at least enough people to give the
leader a living-really represents lucky
break for America.
The contagion of Fascism. which afflicts
European countries very badly at this writ
ing seems to break out In this country only
in symptoms which are laughable.
Some months ago there was the fiasco Of
the Khaki Shirts at Philadelphia. Now there
is this WOODY business of the Silver Shirts:
and the result is a sort Of reductio ad alb
surdum Of the whole idea Of Fascism.
1t is being presented to us. not as move
ment which can enlist the sympathies of de-
termined men, but as a supremely dizzy alb
erration at which We only can chuckle.
That, to repeat. is a lucky break. Once
let an idea get a humorous association in the
minds of the American people and they never
viii take it seriously
II we are being introduced TO Fascism in
its most ludicrous glise, there is small chance
that we ever shall commit the blunder OF fall
ing for it.

RELIEF FOR ROYALTY

capitol Of Rumania, telling how a former
Russian prince finally has won promotion"

This titled white wing, Prince sergei
Vladimirovich, escaped from his homeland
when the revolution broke, wandered into

his uppers. Finally he got a part-time job
as street cleaner.
The other day he was at work near a rail-
way station when he heard foreign tourist
vainly trying to make policeman under

lated the tourists remarks. and set the
matter right.
So now. as reward, he has a full-time

WE can not agree with Governor McNutt
w that Safety Commissioner Al Feeney's
criticism Of political influence in the state
police force is 'unwarranted" and "inoppor-
tune" In fact. we heartily agree with Com
missioner Feeney and believe that his caustic
comments are entirely warranted and most
opportune.
The commissioner charged that his state
policemen had been tempered with by "un-
authorized" persons. he meant, of course,
Pleas Greenlee, the Governors secretary. Mr..
Greenlee promptly denied the accusation, but
in the next breath he said
"Au I worry about is their political quail
flcations."
What political qualifications, Mr.. Greenlee?
Can a Democrat shoot straighter or hit harder
than a Republican? Decent people realize
now the awful price Indiana is paying for
political police. They are demanding clean
up. They agree with Commissioner Feeney.
Jacob Weiss, state senator, has promised
publicly that he will introduce bill at the
next session of the legislature which will over
haul the entire law enforcement machinery of
the state and place it under civil service. That
is splendid, but meanwhile reform must come
NOW. Governor NcNutt has sufficient power
to give the citizens the sort of police force
they must have.
He can not do it if he listens to the thread
bare and obsolete political philosophy of Mr..
Greenlee, who obviously is trying to build
Tammany machine in Indiana. Let the Gov
errors secretary tell his own story of his
interference with the police:
Mr. Greenlee admitted he had instructed
officers Dozier and Hamilton to work for the
administration in Sullivan. He said "Hanil-
ton worked for us and Dozier against US"
