ing that the

rested in the last
analysis on the
men who man

This is one of
those cat c h

cation rath err

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-05-01


the thought which is left with the
nearer is that no new banking laws
are needed and that those which we
already have are Of little use from
practical standpoint.
One might almost as we'll say that
all laws are of no value and that
society could get along better if
people were permitted to follow only
the dictates of their judgment and
conscience. Bankers and other
business men, as a rule, probably
could be counted upon to regulate
their own actions in a satisfactory
manner, but there are a few. it
would seem. as in other fields of
endeavor, who need definite limita-
tiOns placed upon their activities
and definite punishment provided
for occasions when they get over
the line.
ID EQUATIONS for regulation
IN sake would not seem to be the
answer, however. The restrictions,
to be worth while, must be intelli-
gently drawn and practically oper-
ative. The real trouble would seem
to be not too many laws but rather
improperly conceived laws. But as
the careful driver is handicapped by
the traffic lights erected 20 curb the
speed demon, so is the honest bust
ness man handicapped by the laws
placed on the books to hold the vio-
lator of business ethics in check.
Unfortunately, too, the more COM
plicated business becomes the great
er the need for restrictive legisla-
ton. The stakeholder today knows
relatively little about the way his
company does business, and the bank
depOsitor knows probably less about
what is being done with his money.
He could not be expected to keep
pace with such things even if the
facts were available, which they are
not. He must rely on the govern
ment to see that he gets a square
deal.
DUT it would be equally ridiculous
- " 4G4y JOO IIluCIl OAl laws W
keep the business records clean and
safe as it would be to feel that we
can get along without such laws. An
honest man can make an awful mess
Of a banks affairs if he is not
familiar with the business. He prob
ably would be just as dangerous as
a capable man who is inclined to cut
corners.
Perhaps though, if our business
men were not so keen to secure
clever lawyers who can find loop
holes in existing laws, our legislators
would not be so hard pressed to Gre
ate laws which have no lOopholes.
Many of the business laws we are
getting these days are designed to
correct the weak spots in the laws
already on the books. 1t probably
would be safe to say that business
men in a democratic and intelligent
country such as the United States
will be burdened only with such laws
as they themselves make necessary.

Creditors Rights Violated,
Says Federal Judge
in Baltimore.

81 mica PTesS
BALTIMORE. Md. Sept. 90
Persistent doubts of the constitu-
tionality of the Frazier-Lemke law
affording liberal relief to debt
ridden farmers bore fruit today in
a decision by Federal District Judge
w. Calvin Chestnut.
The court, in a test case, held
the act to be unconstitutional
through violation of the rights of
creditors as provided in the four
teenth amendment to the Constitu-
ton and by seeking to supercede
the jurisdiction of the state courts.
The judges decision took view
similar to that held by opponents
Of the measure which was passed
in the closing days of the last con-
greSS. 1t passed despite administra-
ton opposition. Passage was OBJ
tanned through filibuSter threats by
Senator Huey P. Long Dem, La
and others. 1t was signed by PreSi-
dent Roosevelt on the basis of an
opinion by Attorney General Homer
S. Cummings that it was cOnStitu-
tional.
Considerable surprise attended
signature of the measure by the
President. due to the initial oppo-
Sition and the constitutional
doubts.
The measure provided that a
farmer might appear in court and
obtain a revaluation of his mort
gagged property. He then would be
given five years in which to meet
his Indebtedness, living on the
property in the meantime and pay
ing only rent

CHICAGO, Sept. 2O.-The bat

John F. Day, sc, was found in a va
cant lot a block from the Gresham
police station on Chicagos south
side today.
Investigators said the lieutenant,
a member of the police force for
forty years, appeared to have been
beaten to death.
The body was discovered by a
workman. The officers civilian
clothes were in disarray and his
face bore evidence of a beating.
Lieutenant Day. who was married
and the father of eight children,
failed to report for duty at mid
night, but other officers at the
Gresham station believed he was i'll
and no investigation of his absence
was undertaken.
He apparently was attacked while
walking along the dark street from
the Rock Island railroad station,
two blocks from police headquarters.

This was learned today by The
Indianapolis Times after United
Textile Workers of America strikers
had listed it as one of their prin-
cipal grievances locally.
The southern section of the code
provides a minimum weekly wage of
S13, as opposed to a $14 minimum
here. Workers say that the differ
ence is carried on up in the pay
scale for those receiving more than
the minimum.
NRA officials in Washington re-
fused to believe it possible that In
diana, classified in the northern di-
vision in the silk and wool textile
codes, was in the southern division
for the cotton textile code until
they looked up the minutes of the
code adoption.
Then. they offered this explana-
ton:
The cotton code was the hrSt
adopted. 1t laid down a scale for
the southern mills and the northern
mills, without describing the limita-
tions. Later, it was agreed that In
diana should be in the southern
group since most of the mills were
operating close to the Ohio river
and just opposite Kentucky"
Since that time, the Mason-Dixon
line has been the dividing line be-
tween northern and southern di-
visions in code matters, it was said.
The administration announced
that wage differentials in code sec
tions were allowed because of diff
ferences in LIVING costs.
1t is the contention of Charles P.
Drake. business agent of Local 2069,
U. T. w. A. that living costs here
are those Of a northern city and
not those of a southern textile town.
Charles A. Young, plant manager
for the bleaching company. con-
tends that his factory and the two
other active Indiana mills enjoying
the southern classification were
given the lower wage rate because
they are engaged in the manufacture
of very coarse type of cloth. which,
he said. required much less skilled
