BACKING MORTGAGE BONDS

A FTER all the talk about farm credit re-
lief, it turns out to be Of small value
The system has not worked. Such being the
case. it is time to admit the truth and pro-
coed to correct past mistakes. That is what
the President is doing in asking congress to
enact legislation guaranteeing the principal
az farm mortgage bonds worth two billion
dollars
When the original law was passed it was
believed that a government guarantee Of in
terest on such bonds would be sufficient. 1t
has not been. The farm credit administration
has been unable to market the land bank
bonds
In his message to congress the President
said yesterday that the government already
has "a moral obligation" That will not be
disputed. The effect of the proposed law
merely is to recognize legally the responsibility
1t is assumed that the President soon will
recommend similar government guarantee Of
principal of the home mortgage bonds The
home loan board after several months of eX-
perience, is convinced that this is necessary.
We are not certain that this is the only
reform needed in the farm and home loan
systems nevertheless it is one important I'M
provement which congress should carry out
quickly

10000 LIVES LOST

EEOTOR vehicle accidents last year claimed
IV1 the lives of 305OO Americans according
to preliminary estimates of the National Safe
ty Council. This indicates an increase of 35
per cent compared to 1882 Some $4,000 of the
victims were pedestrians.
The increased toll last year is disquietlng,
but it can not be laid to depression conditions.
In fact. it resulted from the increased auto
mobile traffic in the last half of 1888, due to
returning prosperity. Gasoline consumption by
motor vericles increased by Is per cent in the
last half of 1888.
Some cities, by strict traffic laws and en-
forcement, are saving lives. At the end OF
December the honor roll of cities that had
decreased their auto deaths by more than
per cent under 1892 included Milwaukee, Bos-
ton, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, st. Louis and San
Francisco Illinois, Michigan, Virginia and
Wisconsin also show declines.
1t is not necessary to kill $4,000 people
year in motor accidents. Rigid enforcement of
traffic rules should reduce this tragically high
total in 1884

PURIFIED PROHIBITION

DROHIBITION forces, calling the roll in
l. their shattered ranks after the disastrous
defeat of 1883, find that they still have much
to be thankful for Bishop Ernest G. Rich
ardson, head of the Anti-Saloon League,
points out that there still are twenty-five dry
states, and adds that there are extensive dry
territories in practically all the wet states.
Whether this dry area will be extended or
diminished in the near future is wholly
matter for guesswork. But viewing the whole
problem in the light of the last decades ex
perience, one is inclined to believe that prohi-
bition today, in the areas where it does not
exist, is on a much sounder basis than was the
case prior to repeal CT the eighteenth amend
ment.
A dry state henceforth can be assumed to
be a state that is dry because prohibition suits
the majority of its inhabitants, and not be-
cause it has been forced to conform to law
that the ma jority dislikes. There is a world
of difference.

ARMENT GOES

DLEAS- GREENLEE acted wisely in ousting
E L. Arment as captain of guards at
the Indiana state farm. Ar1nent utterly was
unsuited for such job. Last summer The
Times printed series of articles disclosing
unspeakable brutalites at that institution. 1t
pointed out that the farm instead of reform
ing men, was brutalizing them The inmates
of the farm are not hardened criminals. They
merely are men guilty of misdeneanors.
1t is needless at this late date to rehearse
the nauseating details of Captain Arment's
disciplinary methods: the hanging of human
beings from the bars the beatings with clubs,
the working of men ravaged by disease and
scarcely able to walk
Upon the disclosures last summer Governor
McNutt promptly placed Ralph Howard in
charge of the farm. Mr.. Howard had long
background of prison experience. Conditions
improved, but Arment stayed on. Now at last
he is gone.
1t is to be hoped that his successor will
have little clearer understanding of his re-
sponsibility to society. He should remember
that, whenever possible, inmates should be
sent from the institution as useful members
of society Rigid and even handed discipline
with equal justice for all prisoners is what is
needed-not brutal bullying.

THE RING TIGHTENS

CLOWLY. but surely the law seems to be
~ catching up with the gunner. The last
years most impressive development in this
field was the rounding up and Imprisonment
of the Urschel kidnapping gang Recently GER
tain other notorious outlaws have come to the
end of their rope. Wilbur Underhill, Okla
homa bad man, dies of wounds inflicted by
officers of the law. An associate, Elmer In
man. is wounded and captured Chicagos
Jack Klutas goes down before police bullets.
And so it goes. Bit by bit, the authorities
are succeeding in their fight to make the ma
ton an unhealthy place for the strong-arm
tribe. The fight is by no means over, of
course Plenty of desperate criminals still are
at large,
But it is becoming evident that officials all
over the country at last are carrying on their
fight with determination and a good deal of
efficiency.

PUBLIC HANGINGS

FUDGE DE HAVEN of Memphis urges a re-
turn to the old custom of public hangings
1.-THE purpose Of execution" he said lis to
show the result of crime and to deter others
not revenge upon the criminal. Now we secret
ly electrocute criminals at midnight"
If we kill criminals to deter other criminals
from crime, this judge thinks, we should do it
in the most public part of town, at high noon
and we should invite everybody.
The trouble with this plan is that it was
tried for centuries, without success. In old
England, where they used to execute people
for minor misdemeanors, it is said that pick
pockets went through the crowds plying their
trade in full view Of the gallows where pick
pocket was being hanged. In 1880 petition
was signed and presented to parliament by
one thousand bankers from 214 towns stating
that the use of the death penalty for forgers
endangered society by making their conviction
less certain.
Since neither public nor secret executions
deter men from murder why not try doing
away with capital punishment altogether?
Eight states and number of foreign countries
have abolished legal killing with no bad eff
fects. History seems to teach that you can not
cure private murder with public murder, either
secret or open.

ton correspondent, answered them like this:
Well, Just remember this. Over the Pc
Rod Of the boom years you floated millions
upon millions OF bonds Of foreign nations You
probably never heard Of those countries before
you sold their bonds, and I'll bet you couldn't
find them on the map now.
you sold those bonds to little investors and
banks all over the country. Maybe s25, 0OO,-
100000 worth of them. The money was for
public works in those countries-in South
America, in Europe, in Asia. in Lord knows
what other unheard-of places.
That money came, in some instances,
from banks in American towns that needed,
but couldn't buy, public works of their own.
They've lost a lot OF that money now. Lost
it paying for public works everywhere else on
the globe
so far as I'm concerned, we're going to
have as much as $4,000, 100000 worth of pub
lie works here if we need it-public works
right here at home, paid for with our own
money. And we can pay for it, too, whether
you guys every buy another government bond
or not"
Allowing for rhetorical exaggeration in the
congressman's figure of twenty-five billions, it
is obvious that he has touched on an angle
worth thinking Of. A few years ago any kind
Of bond was good one-Insull bonds, Kreuger
bonds, Straus bonds South American bonds
and heaven knows what else.
For the bankers who floated those inse-
cure securities in an unending flood to pro-
test now that we could not assimilate an
issue of our own governments bonds, put out
to buy substantial and enduring improve
ments for the American people-well, as the
congressman felt it's just little bit too much.

THURSDAY. JAN. II. 1894.
SHAMELESS

WHEN the depression began to bite big
chunks out of budgets. self-respecting
businesses cut high-salaried executives be-
lore they asked their humble employees to
make sacrifices. Some corporations, not quite
so fair minded, cut high and low salaries at
once. Never had we heard of a company so
merciless as to cut low-salaried employees and
add the proceeds of that cut to executive
salaries.
Yet Sherman Minton, public counselor.
apparently has found that the indianapolis
Power and Light Company followed this last
procedure. He has discovered that in 1882 that
concerns poorest paid workers had their
wages reduced by $4,000. At the same time
sl4,2OO was added to the executives salary
budget.
This is a shameless example of stupid
cruelty 1t shows an arrogance almost I'M
paralleled in the whole sordid story of the
depression. Any company callous enough to
take from its loyal clerks and office workers
to give more to its already highly paid execu-
tives merits the most careful investigation by
the public service commission.
Not that the sum of money involved was
so large-that is not the point. Such action
demonstrates a curiously warped and utterly
selfish state of mind. If the Indianapolis
Power and Light Company would treat its own
people that way, how has it been dealing with
the consumers?
Aside from the moral callousnOus of this
performance there appears to be no sound
business reason for increasing the amount of
money allotted for executive salaries What
have the local operators of the power and
light company done to deserve more money?
The Times has shown that the manage
ment of the concern has been such that eX-
penses have increased by more than % per
cent since 1927 without a corresponding in
crease in revenues. Usually an executive is
discharged on such a record rather than en-
couraged with more money.
We suggest that Harley Clarke, head of the
holding company which controls indianapolis
Power and Light, take a careful look at the
MANAGEMENT of this company. thorough
reorganization might make it possible for him
to give the consumers a decent rate reduction.
If he can not find way to do this volun-
tarily he probably will find himself forced 70
give rate relief to Indianapolis
