NEW DECLARATION
to save

THE recovery program at washington has
passed through so many crises that it
hardly seems worth while to call attention to
the existence of a new one
Nevertheless, it is growing palmer each day
that the whole administration scheme of
things has reached its most crucial phase
to date.
The fact that Mr.. Roosevelt's program has
been having tough shedding on Capitol Hill
recently would not mean much except for
the fact that this opposition reflects ris-
ing opposition among the congressmens con-
stituents. Among the snags it has struck may
be listed the following:
Modification of the Stock Exchange control
bill in the direction sought by Wall Street.
The announced decision of legislative lead
ers to lberalize the securities bill in the same
direction.
Modification of the Wagner bill to meet
the objections of large employers of labor
Drastic changing of the air mail policy in
response to widespread objections from the
business community
Defeat Of the st. Lawrence waterway bill
and overriding of the veto on the economy
bill
Abandonment by the MIRA of its plan for
blanket order to cut hours and raise wages
in industry.
Other things could be cited, but these are
the major points. And a review of them
leaves one with the feeling that there has
been slowing up Of the machinery which
tunctioned so smoothly a few months ago.
The nation is growing FESTIVE, and congress
reflects that feeling.
All this being the case, what happens next?
1t is customary to say that Mr.. Roosevelt
presently will pull new rabbit out of the
hat. Yet no magician's hat is bottomless and
no supply of rabbits is inexhauStible.
In this case what we nave to expect is not
SO much new rabbit as a redefining of the
whole program and a reiteration of funda-
mental policies.
The first phase of the recovery program is
over. A substantial amount of recovery has
actually been made and more is in prospect.
The task of maintaining the balance be-
tween recovery and reform becomes more
difficult than ever. If our present confusion
is to be ended, it can be through only new
declaration of aims and principles from the
White House.

YOUTH AND WAR

THE war-mongers will get cold comfort
- from the ver-publicized rioting and
horseplay by patrioteerS in a few of the manv
colleges where students responded to the
nationwide call for an anti-war demonstra-
ton yesterday.
The student peace movement can not be
laughed or scared off. 1t is a serious challenge
to reactionary educators, munitions makers.
politicians. And yesterdays demonstration
proved it. The students met, denounced war
and pledged allegiance to the forces working
for world peace. In some cases they were
addressed by their professors and by their
presidents.
For generations students like these in
many countries have marched off to the bugle
call to give their young lives for profteers.
imperialism and aggression. Now they are
learning that wars are not all fought for
glory and honor.
President Roosevelt has declared that 90
per cent of the people are opposed to war.
That helps. But it is the opposition of the
cannon-fodder that counts most.

CONGRATULATIONS

THE Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra
= Just has completed its fourth season.
Music lovers throughout Indiana who have
lent their support to the symphony had every
right to feel proud at the orchestra's closing
program.
And to one man, more than anybody else
does Indianapolis and Indiana owe a vote of
thanks That man is Ferdinand Schaefer,
conductor of the symphony.
1t has been Ferdinand Schaefer's idealism
his love of music. and his unhagging spirit
which has built the indianapolis Symphony
Orchestra into an organization of true merit.
The audience at the concert the other eve
ming gave Mr.. Schaefer a thunderous ovation
at the conclusion Of the program. Mr.. Schaef
er deserves more than that. He deserves the
vote of thanks of every music lover in Indiana.
Here's hats of to you, Ferdinand Schaefer!

now 1nfeSt our poOlrOoms, if they
read such sentiments as these?
viii they be satisfied merely to
strip cars and steal gasoline?
Dillinger WaSa reared almost in
the shadow of the Soldiers and
Sailors Monument. He is a reck-
less character who has shot his
way out of traps regardless of
whether innocent bystanderS were
endangered. Though breaking
penitentiary rules when caught
in another state, he is housed in a
small county jail. He not only gets
up and walks away, but walks into
indianapolis after a smaShup (en-
dangering other lives) and rides
out in a new automobile, while
not only local police but federal
agents warm their heels in hotel
lobbys.
The Governor publicly has de-
MED he is any relation Dillinger.
If that is the case, let him put
up $4,000 for Dillinger's capture,
to take Indiana out of the funny
papers. The taxpayers would be
ahead in the end, even with a
100000 reward were offered.
But perhaps we are out Of order
in thinking of Dillinger as thief
and murderer, when he is so pat
emily a public benefactor, and
"eVerybOdY'S SWeetie.''

the secretary Of the interior may create and
administer grazing districts, gear the size Of
herds and focks to the productivity Of the
range, and conserve the grasses exactly as the
forest service conseryes the tree growths on
its great domain.
The measure would cost the taxpayers
nothing. since administrative expenses are met
with reasonable fees collected from stockmen
in return for ten-year grazing permits Home
stealing would continue to be permitted, but
under guidance to prevent the heartaches of
the past
In this regard the Taylor bill fits into the
Roosevelt land plan, for while moving stranded
families from submarginal farms Of the east
the government should see that they do not
try to settle on western submarginal home
steads.
Important TO the bill is an amendment
authorizing the President and his interior and
agriculture secretaries to work out plan of
administering the range in cooperation with
the forest service. The forest service has
proved itself an effective fighter for conserva-
ton through quarter-century.
1t is to be hoped that selfish interests will
not be able to block action in the senate at
this session. Costly wars have been fought for
lesser empires than the one this measure seeks
to save.

BELATED CURES

THE Hoosier Motor Club pledges that it will
u erect reflector warning at the dead-end
of Eugene street and the canal
Why is it that this club, maintained by its
membership, must be forced to provide meas
ures against tragedies similar to the one that
occurred at this location Tuesday night when
one woman lost her life in the canal?
1t appears that the city of Indianapolis is
hiding behind the Indianapolis Water Com
pany.
No doubt the canal is the water companys
property but why should a barrier be erected
on the canal bank? Why shouldn't this bar
rier be erected at the actual end of the street
which certainly is maintained by the city?
Protective posts or wiring on the canal bank
will not do much good. If an auto is travelling
at sufficient speed to hurtle the railroad tracks
at this point it will be travelling fash enough
to uproot any barrier erected in the soft
ground of the canal bank.
The presence of the canal is not the only
danger at this site. person could be injured
seriously if the automobile in which he were
riding struck the railroad tracks
The responsibility rests with the city of IN
dianapolS. Action at this site and other dan
gerous locations must be taken Immediately
Indianapolis citizens do NOT want to hear
that the municipalities financial condition will
prevent preservation of life
But they do want to hear that the protec-
ton of Indianapolis residents always comes
first.

never catch him and blaming the
Democrats for letting him out, so
I feel he'd have a good chance.

He has the winning strategy, too. He

OF course, he'd have to run on the

cratic ticket, as they have too many
planks in their platform.

A recent news item states that
fifteen notorious characters now
are behind bars as a result of Chi
cago justice. Public sentiment
there against underworld condi-
tionS has become so strong that
private citizens have risked their
lives repeatedly to secure evidence.
For years We poked fun at Chi
cagO for her difficulties with the
underworld, wearing a self-right-
eous snirk the while. But it would
now look as though something
worse than Chicago'S crime wave
has moved among us.
A few days ago a woman wrote
in this column that amy woman
should feel fattered to receive the
attentions of a man like Dillin-
ger" And no doubt 10000 puffy
women of so echoed the sentiment
in their hearts. Again and again
in this column men have made
Dillinger out to be a public bene-
factor, stating that in holding
up banks he is merely robbing the
robbers-a gallant, modern Robin
Hood.

forty-three policemen from guarding school
crossings to protecting" the Real Silk mills
against imaginary dangers of an orderly
strike.
Meanwhile 9-year-old Pauline Pierce was
knocked down by q hit-and-run driver as she
left school. There was no policeman to see
her safely through traffic because I'VE must

No patrolman was on duty to arrest the
driver Fortunately Pauline was not hurt
seriously-iust bruised and badly frightened.
And Of what Importance is a bruised and
frightened little girl compared with the neces-
sity Of a show of force at the Real Silk
factory?
Mr.. Myers spoke for the "old deal" The
IDEAL" that for a decade placed property
rights above human rights. The deal" that
finally brought the most dreadful economic
catastrophe in the worlds history.
Doubtless the management of the hosiery
mills agrees with him. Unquestionably they
regard the recognition of the right Of the
strikers to bargain through representatives of
their own choosing as destructive" to their
property
The Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers, which
is asking Real Silk to deal with it. is not

It's credit is so solid that on the signature

from the government $125OOOO few weeks
ago. The money is to be used to construct
an apartment house in Philadelphia.
Had there been the slightest disorder at
the Real Silk mills there might be some excuse
for the removal of police from school cross
ings. But there has been none. The Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers do not settle labor
difficulties by violence.
Little Pauline will be back in school Mon

other child may not be so fortunate and that
child may be YOURS.

HE WANTS TO KNOW
ABOUT GASOLINE TAX
By ]. NJ. Allison.

By J. NJ. Allison.
Relative to the letter Of C. w.
Gregg. which appeared in The
Times April 5, I desire to call atten-
ton to my announcement as a can
didate for county assessor, which
was published in all of the local
newspapers and wherein I especially
advocated relief for automobile
owners who, as I stated, "are gouged
on every hand"
I. too, like thousands of others,
would be glad to know what be-
comes of all the state gasoline tax
funds, and it seems to me that with
all the money from this source
alone, which has been collected
since the law went into effect,
enough has been collected to pave
all the corn fields in the state, with
enough remaining to build all the
paved roads that the state will need
for a long time to come.

Since early March the treasury depart-

the scandal of silver speculation. apparently
by those traders and brokers who seek to profit
from the efforts OF the congressional bloc
Asked then if his investigation showed
that some advocates of silver legislation had
a personal stake. Secretary Morgenthau was
quoted as saying: Yes, we found some were
not entirely diSinterested"
For some reason the secretary then was
dlSlncllned to make the names public
Now, using the senate banking and cur
rency committee and its ace investigator.
Ferdinand Pecora, the treasury again is seek
ing more information on silver trades and
spectators
As We said early in March, Mr. Morgen-
thau-to protect congress and the people
should reveal what persons are trying to profit
in silver speculation growing out of the ex-
listing government subsidy and the renewed
drive for extreme silver imitation.

This is particularly true of the public do
mains vast empire of 172 900 900 acres
Trampled, eroded, denuded of growth and

worse than useless as the result of over-graz-
