A PRACTICAL PLAN

INDIANA has a splendid opportunity in the
next year TO solve its electric rate problem.
The utilities Of the state have demonstrated
fully that regulation is not enough. COMPETE
ton is the only answer.
The unsatisfactory contract offered the city
for street lighting by the indianapolis Power
and Light Company simply is another example
Of the need for drastic action
This local utility knows that no other power
company can afford to bid on street lighting
SO. having a monopoly, it can name its own
terms in bargaining with the community.
The national resources board has recon-
mended to Secretary Ickes vast system of
multiple purpose dams in the Mississippi val
ley. These dams would serve to control floods
and at the same time furnish a vast amount
Of electric power. They would be built with
federal funds.
Indiana, by taking advantage of this gov
eminent money when it becomes available,
permanently may extricate it's citizens from
the clutches of high utility rates The plan is
simple.
First, the legislature should set up an Indi-
ana state power authority. The power author
ity would not be supported by taxpayers funds
but by its own earning power. 1t would issue
and sell it's own securities. 1t might be neces-
ssry at first to place the states credit behind
the interest on these securities although NOT
behind the redemption of the principal
Second. the power authority should build
on the White river a flood control and power
dam. or series of dams, with federal funds. 1t
could build the generating station and trans
mission lines with it's own money raised by the
sale Of its securities Actual distribution of the
power could be through existing privately
owned companies under rigid contract with
the state.
Third. the power authority should erect
with it's own money a coal generating station
somewhere in the neighborhood of Terre
Haute. This would serve the dual purpose Of
furnishing cheap power and a steady market
for Indiana coal thus giving measure of re-
lief to the states unemployed miners.
Fourth, the power authority should contract
with the governments Tennessee Valley Au-
thority to bring Muscle Shoals electricity into
the southern part of the state at least as far
as Evansville.
This plan sounds rather ambitious, but it is
perfectly practical Indiana power authority
bonds should be easy to sell if their yield we're
guaranteed by the state. Federal funds will be
available. The water power and steam plants
would furnish measuring sticks by which the
public service commission could judge the
fairness of the rates of private companies.
Any time that private company showed
a tendency to kick over the traces it would be
easy for the state power authority to enlarge
one of its three power sources and simply rub
the recalcitrant concern out of existence by
competition.
Think it over.

Capital CaperS
BY GEORGE ABELL

NTASHINGTON this week is brilliant with
w personalities and events.
Delegates to the congress of the Federation
Aeronautique Internationale are thronging the
city, headed by Prince George Bibesco of Ru-
mania-a man who has excellent taste in ties
and champagne.
His full name incidentally, is George Valen-
tine Bibesco, and the would-be wits have already
made the usual puns. One man asked him:
What happened to your white carp"
II never had white car" replied the Prince
The questioner was thinking of Prince An

George who owned white touring car. cellar

were produced but never ran more than a week
ORCHIDS, gardenias and roses are already
~ beginning to appear in corsage bouquets
and on shoulder straps. Princess Bibesco - a
smartly tailored woman addicted to large bows
black and white motifs and rakishly tilted hats
appeared in town carrying a cluster OF Amer
lean Beauty roses.
ELEGANT Minister Davila of Rumania (whc
II has been very upset over the scandalous
Vanderbilt whitney trial in New York, which
involves some of his best friends) is sparing nc
effort to show the Bibescos coed time.
His reception will be one of the largest OF

BY Anti-New Deal.
The statement of Sherman Min

United States senate, to the effect
that Senator Robinson is a reac-
zionist and looks backward instead
Of forward, is just as inconsistent as
other statements made by that can
didate.
Mr.. Minton censors Senator Rob-
inson for looking back over sue
cessful period of 143 years during
which this country advanced 10
amazing heights. AT the same time
the New Deal. which Mr.. Minton
lauds, is merely repetition OF ex-

Reasons GiUen for Belief IN Roosevelt

Did you ever hear of agricultural
adjustment act, Old Timer? How
about bank failures since March,
1888? Better working conditions
were promised What about NRA?
He promised to drive the money
changers from the temple. There
fore, there is the stock exchange
bill and also the securities COM
mission. No government ever has
been more sincere in carrying out
its promises than the present ad-
ministration.
1t offers the happy combination
of political experience and a broad
social viewpoint. Graft and po-
litical corruption have crept in,
it is true, and some pledges have
been broken. But the average
morale is satisfactory, consider
ing this government consists of
human beings. This never was a
bad country to live in for the So
called common man, and, thanks
to the present administration, it
is getting better.

BY Times Reader.
Old Timer, in The Message Gen.
ter of Oct. /, asks if there is any
one gullible enough to place any
confidence in any statement the
President might make, to which I
humbly reply that there most GER
tainly is, and might 1 inquire just
where Old Timer has been for the
last year and a half? Any one
with the most remote conception
of affairs at present knows that
the Presidents sincerity is above
question.
1t is true that there have been
some unkept promises, but there
is yet time for these to be car
ried out, and what about those
which have been carried out?
Mr.. Roosevelt promised to re-
peal prohibition, if possible. This
was done, was it not? He prom
ised to put the unemployed to
work in the forests. This prom
Use, assailed by Mr.. Hoover as
"deluding a suffering people" also
was carried out.
He promised aid to the farmers.

The European Crisis
An Editorial

we're in 1914 the danger Of immediate war
would be greater.
The danger now is that the misdeeds of
the Alexander dictatorship will rise up to
haunt Yugoslavia, and that the Croatians and
other rpinority nationalities within the king
dom will destroy the precarious unity achieved
by Serb domination. Such strife in Yugo-
slavia might light similar fires of revolt
throughout the Balkans, especially in Ru-
mania The balance in Europe is feared to
be too unstable to Withstand such a shock.
While in the long run Hitler holds the key
to European peace, the immediate response
bility rests rather with Italy and Great
Britain. If Mussolini is tempted, by Yugo-
slavia's internal weakness, to settle old dis
putes and grab more territory, almost any
kind Of an explosion might result
Great Britain's responsibility is in keep
ing Mussolini quiet. Left alone under the
pressure of italian extremists Mussolini might
succumb to the madness of aggression. But if
the London government today rises above the
indecison which paralyzed it in the summer
Of 1914, and takes strong, clear position for
peace, there is a good chance of keeping Italy
in the new French British Italian accord.
Meanwhile, however, confused other aspects
OF this potentially dangerous situation may be,
one thing should be clear to every American
from President Roosevelt down to the hum
blest citizen:
This is European crisis which can be set
tied only by Europeans-there is and will be
no excuse for American interference of anv
kind

examined on file with the public

vile and MishaWaka, where the
public is served by municipality
owned plants, show that each city
has lower rates than indianapolis
consumers receive. In addition to
lower rates, most, if not all, of these
plants turn surplus earnings into
the city general fund and the tax
payers receive the benefit of lower
taxes.
Perhaps Mr. Test can explain why
the municipal plant at Cleveland
can supply electric current to the
people at cents a k W. h., while
we pay 54 cents. The plant at

REPUBLICANS DECLARED
CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY
By Orie Simmons.

By Orie Simmons.
The labels Republican and DEM
ocratic are, after all, just right tor
the present issue-whether our gov

by Whim and edict.
The Roman res publica meant the
public veal; the state, an imper-
sonal thing by whatsoever device
governed. Constitution denotes
mode or process of acting in an I'M
personal manner. Constitutional
government and the Republican par
ty denote a government by laws and
procedure. The Constitution uses
such expressions as due process Of
law, to denote rules of procedure
as opposed TO mob hysteria
Since this article is constructive in
purpose, the less said about democ-
racy in action the better. Democ-
racy is essentially rule by the pop
ulation. Demagogy is rule by the
dregs thereof; aristocracy is a rule
by the assumed cream; bureaucracy
is an obnoxious rule of every ones
minor affairs, by presumptious min
or officials; New Deals and the like
are vain efforts to systematic and
rationize the essential chaos of de-
mocracy with demagogy, aristocracy.
bureaucracy, anarchy and eventual
dictatorship.
The only way out is an inpersonaI
constitutional republic with the ma
jority party in power, balanced by
the rabid but still needed. opposition

even such abuses are preferable TO

Ahght with wind-swept dreams.
