OBJECTS TO WORKING
HOURS AT HOSPITALS.

BY Subscriber.
Several months ago read in this
column an article concerning the
long hours of the employees of the
Indiana University hospitals. I did
not read anything else since and I
would like to mention different facts
myself.
The employees of the dietary de-
partment of the Indiana university
hospital work mostly siXty-siX hours
week, in some extreme cases sew
enty hours. The wages don't cor
respond with the length Of the time
and by cutting down these working
hours and adding more employees the
state institution would set the eX-
ample one could and should expect
from the state.
In addition to these working
hours the administration is work
ing on the plan of a central locker
room, which is as good as complet-
ed. That means that the employees
of the Long and Coleman hospitals
have to walk to the Riley hospital
to check in and out, of course, on
their own time. That means an adj
dition of one hour day, as these
employees work split hours, from 6
a. m. to 1870 p. m. and from 4:30
p. m. to 1880.

LONELY BUT LIKABLE

EINLAND always was a likable little
= country.
"Our land is poor" sang its poet Runeberg
eighty years ago, 80 shall be-" This rugged
acceptance of difficulties marks Finland's
history. In spite Of poor SOIL bitter winters,
czarist oppression and other hardships they
built a happy nation of Stockholders and
craftsmen. They disliked ignorance, SO they
set up fine school system and abolished
illiteracy.
With scientific methods they husbanded
their little farms and cropped their great
forests They tanned cataracts and made
electricity, then distributed it for the benefit
of the people They could not afford waste,
so they formed one of the worlds finest sys-
TENS of consumer co-operatives. They tried
out prohibition and finding it wouldn't work,
they repealed it promptly.
Finland is our only war debtor that pays.

usual, it's Dec Is semi-annual installment.

LUCK PLAYS PART

THERE is something more than just GRIM
" humorous twist of chance in the story
of those two paupers at Marietta, O., who
struck oil in the back yard Of the county poor
house.
One Of the most striking contradictions Of
modern American society is wrapped up in it
"a contradiction which society must somehow
solve, if it is not to undergo profound change.
These two chaps, both getting along in their
sixties, had been oil drillers for years. They
had worked on rigs all the way from Ohio to
Oklahoma. and in their day they had made
good money; but times we're hard, jobs we're
not to be had. and so they submitted to pow
erty and entered the county poorhouse.
They hadn't been there long before time
began to hang heavy on their hands They had
been active men and they didn't Ike complete
idleness any better than the next man; so
they finally got their superintendent's permits
sion to drill for oil in the back yard.
1t looked like a hopeless quest. Of course.
They had to borrow all their equipment. They
got coal to fire their engine from an outcrop-
ping in the poorhouse farm.
And so they went to work, day after day
and. at last. struck neat flow OF oil. Already

APPEAL IS SOUNDED
FOR DOGS RETURN
BY a Times Reader.

BY a Times Reader.
To the party who found the little
black and white dog in the vi
cinity Of North Pine street last
spring:
Won't you please bring him back?
He belongs to my neighbours chill
dren. You can't possibly love that
dog as they do. They spent their
savings to buy his license and har-
ness. They taught him to sit up,
beg for his food, jump rope and
many other tricks.
They searched for him continually
and spent the last of their money to
advertise in The Times Lost and
Found column for him.
Come on, friend. Make this a
real Thanksgiving for the children
If you knew how they loved this dog
you couldn't keep him. They live at
745 East Vermont street.

DECAUSE higher taxes might 'Tetard re-
II covezy" administration spokesmen say
congress vii not consider a general tax re-
vision this winter. They oppose. especially,
increases IN income levies.
Yet these same spokesmen indicate they
will ask congress to re-enact expiring NUS
ance and sales taxes which now yield nearly
a hall billion dollars annually II this pro-
gram is carried out. the people Will continue
to pay federal taxes on bank checks. telephone
ana telegraph messages. electricity. electrical
household appliances, gasoline. oil. autos and
accessories. chewing gum. matches and other
commod.lcs.
It is a program Of political expediency,
quite IN line with the political cOwardice which
last winter prompted congress to reduce
taxes On incomes up TO $4,000 a year while
continuing discriminatory sales tax burdens
Persons with small incomes VIII still pay the
bill But because the sales taxes are more or
less hidden and painless the astute spokes-
men believe there Will be less "squawking Of
the goose.
We hope they are mistaken.
The Hutchins policy commission only two
DAYS ago exposed the fallacy OF attempting
economic relation through lower income
taxes. saying il merely would divert public
funds into private boards" But the COM
mission did say that a cut in excise taxes
would prove a boon 70 recovery.
Industries burdened by discriminatory ex-
cis,s have a right to unloose a barrage upon
congress next winter. and probably will 90 so.
Il may cause some Of the administration
leaders to change their minds. and revise
our federal taxes on the basis Of ability to pay
the taxation principle expounded in the last
Democratic platform. but apparently for
gotten.
An abiltv-to-pay tax bill would be some
thing more than a soak-the-rich tax bill. The
rich should pay more. But the bulk of the
revenue Will have come from the so-caIled
middle class which so far has been able to
bluff congress and the administration. If
Americans fortunate enough to have incomes
ranging from $500 to $4,000 year lived in
England. Germany or France. they would be
paying from five 20 twenty times as much in
income taxes.
Nuisance and sales taxes exploit unor-
gained consumers and producers. They fall
heaviest upon the very poor. They hurt the
manufacturer and merchant. They dis
.ouTage trade. They hinder recovery They
can not be justified until congress exhaUsts
the revenue possibilities Of income taxation.
Citizens who think the country can pay
the bill for relief and recovery without taxa
ton are fooling themselves. Either there will
be taxation or currency initiation. which is
disguised form Of the worst kind of taxation
appropriation.

is generally the first to suffer under
any radical form Of government, and
the Catholic church especially, be-
cause of her constant refusal to
adopt herself to the whims and
caprices of the times. The only
logical conclusion is that the HER
archy would not permit Father
Coughlin to preach a doctrine
against the church, and he is first
and foremost a churchman, having
been ordained to say mass, admin
lister the sarcrements, and preach
the gospel.
Father Coughlin has no intension
of making saints out of capitalists,
but merely honest men willing to
give the working man what is justly
his. ForS this, they will receive no
halo. Since this militant priest has
larger following than any other
single radio personality of the day,
together with a constructive plan
and the ability to carry it out, as
has been evidenced in the past, we
can see nothing but success ahead
of him.

Cites Trustees Stand

BY Leo X Smith
A letter by Harry Fisher in the
Sunday Star is typical of mis-
understanding which has existed
for some time concerning admin
istration of relief in Center town.
ship, of which Hannah A. NOOne
is the trustee.
Mr.. Fisher complains of inequal-
tiles in allotment of employment
on work relief projects and that
the Investigators knowingly per-
nit that condition. His complaint
is similar to many which have
been recently directed toward Miss
Noone, the trustee.
The facts are that the township
trustee has nothing to do with
certifying men for work relief or
with their employment for such
work or for alloting coal to those
engaged in work relief. Neither
has the trustee anything to do
with the selection Of the visitors or
investigators.
For many months, the Cover

nor's unemployment relief COM
mission has had charge of work
relief projects, of employment on
them, of allotment of coal to such
men and of the personnel of Wis
itors who investigate both direct
and work relief cases. The fact
that most Of the supervisory work
is carried on by the commission
from the same building as the
work of the trustee has caused
many persons making complaints
to enormously regard the trustee
as the responsible party.
Miss Noone gladly will hear and
rectify any complaints made in
matters over which she has con-
troll, but obviously she is not able
to adjust complaints in those in
stances referred TO.
This statement is made with the
hope that widespread misunder-
standing which has existed for
months will be cleared and that
criticism will not be directed
toward Miss Noone in matters
over which she has no control:

4O-Bushel Yield on
Farm Near Vaughn

A yield Of 40 bushels to the CIT on a
24O-acre field Of wheat vas harvested
by Mrs. Augusta Kelm, a widow who
farms 1900 acres or wheat bench, eight
miles north Of Vaughn. Mrs. Kelm
has 900 acres in crop this year.
