THE TAX BILL.

ME federal tax bill which came out of
conference last night is nothing to be
proud Of, even though it is much better than
the original measure concocted by the house
ways and means committee. Agreement has
been reached by representatives of the senate
and house on all points except the senate
10 per cent income tax rate increase, which is
to be sent back to the house for instructions
If the house will take another long look at
the federal operating deficit and the pros
pective national debt of more than $3O,OOO,-
100000, it is likely to agree to the 10 per cent
income tax increase. The government needs
the money And citizens lucky enough to have
taxable incomes in these times should be, and
we believe, are ready to help pay the way
toward recovery Even with these increased
rates Americans will be paying much less than
the British, French, Germans and other Euro
peans.
The conference wisely accepted the senate
excess profits rate and the increased La
Toilette estate tax rate, though in the latter
it listed the exemption from $4,000 to $4,000.
Two bad features, among Others remain in
the bill. One is the provision for publicity of
returns. Although proponents made a good
theoretic argument on the ground that this
will act as powerful acknowledgements provi-
sion and prevent tax evasion, experience has
not been conclusive on this point. But expert
ence with such publicity clauses has shown
that they are subject to grave misuse by snoop-
ers for selfish purposes
BY far the worst part of the bill, because it
involves international relations and the ma
tional honor is the tariff and trade barrier in
the form of cent tax per pound on Philip
pine cocoanut oil imports. The fact that the
Philippines would be given 2-cent differential
as against other foreign countries is largely
meaningless gesture. From every point of
view this tariff-tax is Objectionable 1t would
strike at the Filipinos who can not strike back
1t would impoverish the Fflipinos and thus
help to destroy one of the best markets for
American goods, just when we need to build
up our export trade And it would break faith
within few weeks after We pledged Justice to
the Philippines in the new independence act.
With conditions what they are in the
Pacific today, the United States can not afford
now-if at any tine-to violate its pledges
abroad. This cocoanut oil tax should be COM
petely eliminated, by joint resolution of con-
fress or by any other method possible

TRACKLESS TROLLEY
LICENSING URGED

BY T. F. Glass
Why permit the trackleSS trolleys
to operate on the streets of Indian
apolis without licenses and crowd
off the streets the taxpayer, with
cars that have licenses.
Any one who has driven on the
streets where these trolleys are
operated knows that the motorist
had better keep out of their way or
thay will catch you in trap. They
have precedence over all other We
hicleS on the street. When in mo-
ton, they are all over the street.
The state law is very clear on this
subject. The fact that the cars get
their motive power from a trolley
wire is not ground for exemption or
evasion Of the state automobile laws.
Why is the encouragement per-
uniting these motor vehicles to
operate on our streets, wearing out
the pavemenrs the taxpayers have to
replace and not paying the state
tax as motorists do. Have the oper-
ators of these electrically driven
buses drivers licenses? What are
the taxpayers going to do about this
outrage?

End Fish Slaughter, Sportsman Urges

This many times means game"
fish, and what a thrill it gives
you and how your nerves Jingle,
to see a big three-pound bass or
salmon pass over the counter at
a meat shop. These fish have
gushing wounds. How they would
have tried that six-ounce fly pole
of yours, but they didn't have a
chance. You can buy them,
though.
Is this happening all over the
state, or just in Delphi? How
long will the fish supply last if
this continues? How soon will
Carroll county have streams but
no fish?
When will the people stop the
demand for those slaughtered fish,
thus aiding the slaughter? When
will Carroll county measure up to
its potential possibilities as fish
erman's paradise?
I am not angry. I have tried
not to be critical, but I am wor-
ried.

BY Sportsman
I have fished for many years in
Carroll county, including the area
around Delphi. and 1 must say
that the county has some of the
finest game fish streams in the
state; however, fishing has been
better there than it has been the
last two Or three years.
A flSherman'S paradise, Deer
creek, Rock creek, Wild Cat creek,
the Wabash and Tippecanoe rivers
all are within a f1ve-minutes'
drive from Delphi, and what
beautiful streams!
How could our beloved Hoosier
poet, Riley, refrain from writing
after an afternoon upon the banks
of Deer creek? No wonder many
indianapolis persons spend their
vacations on and along these
streams.

Delphi contains many signs: Fish

Mike say that he was for the man

200 persons should get their market

any of his friends get in trouble,

1t is generally conceded that
Pritchard will get the vote, headed
by Armitage brothers. Then is it not
reasonable to assume that Walter
must have been good to them when
he was judge of the city court. You
will have to agree that he was or
most certainly they would not sup
port him now. You know as well as
I do that they do not want a man
for mayor that will hinder their
racket. 1t should now be plain for
you to see why Sheriff Buck Sumnex
withdrew from the mayorship race.
1t was because if he ran it would
split up the bad element vote, and
take it away from Walter. That's
why Buck was promised that if he
would get out of the way that in
case Walter becomes mayor, he
will be the next chief of police.

BRANDS PRITCHARD
AS COFFIN MAN
BY Dissatisfied.

BY Dissatisfied.
noticed an article by E. H. Sim
mons in the Message Center of
April IA, directed at a Dissatisfied
Precinct Committeeman" AS it
happens I am a friend of this COM
mitteeman and 1 am going to take
this liberty to answer Mr.. Simmons
questions as my friend was called
out of town for a brief period.
Mr.. Simmons would infer that my
friend is a Democratic precinct
committeeman, which is not true.
We are both Republican committee
men and have fought side by side in
the conventions to GUST George V.
Coffin, but there happened to be
too many weakened committee
men. Therefore, we lost our fight,
but you can rest assured that we
have never given up hope.
I will frankly say, Mr.. Simmons,
that Walter Pritchard, under the
circumstances, is not big and free
enough to be mayor Of indianapolis,
for the following reasons:
I heard Walter say that he would
rather two to one be criminal court
judge than mayor, because the re-
sponsibiIties would not be so great.
and he further said that so many
organizations had Endorsed him that
he was out on a limb and did not
know which way to jump. Now just
what organizations did all of this?
One Of them was the Golden
Eagles, headed by one William
Oman, who has been a Coffin hench-
man for several years. His outfit
will sell you barge with golden
eagle on it, All it will cost you is
one dime and then you are entitled
to be called a Cofhnite. This same
Oman at one time belonged to an
other organization and just because
he could not use it to further Cot
fms interests, he got mad and was
kicked out. You can rest assured
that Oman will not refute this as
he knows it to be the truth.
A certain young Republican or
ganization Endorsed Walter Why?
Leland Morgan happens to head
this outfit, and it was organized a
few years back with Collins back
ing and has always supported his
candidates. Now Leland is running
for prosecuting attorney. For my
own information. would like to
know who has stood the expense of

REPLIES TO CRITIC
BY Arthur G. Gresham.

BY Arthur G. Gresham.
I have no desire to start an argu-
ment through the columns of your
paper, but contributor criticises
me for commencing Walter Prit-
chard and my critic asks me who
am I to condemn any one.
There is an old proverb that says
if you can not speak we'll of a man,
say nothing at all. I commended
Walter Pritchard because he has
been a true and loyal friend to the
disabled service men and because I
think he is the best fitted of any
candidate in the field for the Office
Of mayor Of our city.
For the last ten years I have con-
Quoted the relief work Of a major
organization, so if my critic wants
to know who I am, I suggest he ask
any disabled veteran.

'NOBLE HERITAGE"
WHAT is IT?

BY J. Charlton Smith
Senator Robinsons favorite ex-
preston is reported to be, ours is
a noble heritage" Is this just
hokum intended for consumption
by tF~ crow hunters and home
brewers of his "deestrict"?
What heritage" does he mean?
Is he eulogizing Dom Roberts of
Terre Haute, who was compelled to
abandon plans to run for Governor
in favor of a sojourn in Leaven-
worth prison?
Does Senator Robinson mean
Governor Warren T. McCray who
was handed ten years in Atlanta
and $4,000 fine?
Perhaps part of the senator's
heritage" is Ed Jackson, who was
freed by virtue of the statute of linn
itations.
Where does the senator get that
noble heritage" stuff? Is he just
given to using loose language
baloney, applesauce and horse
feathers? One is almost tempted
to be discourteous and say, give
him the hook!

He promised that if the President should

President Roosevelt replied warmly:
I greatly regret that you have felt it neces-
sary to tender your resignation . and am
reconciled to your doing so only by your assur-
ance of willingness to respond to any future call

To friends, who gathered to wish him god

ASSAILS REAL SILK
STRIKE GUARDS

By A Striker.
The citizens of Indianapolis
should at this time protest the
tactics employed by the Real Silk
management.
The management has imported
guards for the protection of strike
breakers. If this continues, chances
for a peaceful strike are very slim.
These men who operate under the
name of private detectives, carry
pieces of gas pipe wrapped up in
new spaers and shake them
menacingly at strikers when they
are going to and from the picket
lines.
1t is bad enough that our city
should have firm that is trying to
destroy the Presidents recovery pro-
gram by defying the workers right
to collective bargaining, but when
such a firm imports guards from
other parts of the country to
endanger the lives of our citizens,
then it is time for every red FLOODED
American to protest loudly and
vigorously to our city officials.
