j. s. LIQUOR COSTS
THIRD UNDER 1882
$10,OO0,O00 Required to
Enforce Control Laws.
War on BootIeggers.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government is spending two
thirds as much to regulate the liquor
traffic as it did at the height of efforts
to enforce prohibition.
Enforcement activities of the Alco-
hol Tax Unit are costing about $l0,-
100000 a year. The Federal Alcohol
Control Administration, charged with
supervision of manufacturers and
wholesalers, requires $27O,0OO more.
The cost of Federal enforcement
during prohibition ranged from 81
059,000 in 1920 to l5,547 900 in 1892.
None of these figures takes into ac-
count the expense of rum chasers by
the Coast Guard. Its expenditures
have been curtailed slightly since
repeal.
War on Bootleggers.
Secretary Morgenthau has ordered
his tax unit to conduct unceasing war
on the bigger bootleggers. New en-
forcement devices have been de-
veloped. One old favorite-wire-tap-
ping, which aroused protest in pro-
hibition days-has been brought into
play again.
The chief of Coast Guard intel
lgence has worked out an agreement
to exchange enforcement information
in the Northwest with Canada s
mounted police.
Trading in used liquor bottles has
been outlawed to keep them from fall
ing into the hands of bootleggers Be
ginning January l, liquor firms will be
required to use bottles with a special
symbol and warning against refilling
blown into the glass. Uncle Sam is
trying to collect all taxes he can
Brewers have been ordered to install
meters whose keys are kept by Fed
eral agents-to measure the flow of
beer from storage watts into bottles and
kegs. The meters click every time 81
gallons flow through them. Each
click means $5 for Uncle Sam.
Works With Codes.
The work of the Alcohol Control
Administration goes in a different
channel. 1t seeks to stabilize the in
dustry and to prevent manufacturers
from controlling retail outlets. 1t
works with codes similar to N. r. A.
Twenty-nine States where LIQUOR
sales have been legalized also are wres-
tling with regulation. Their liquor
taxes vary widely, from 2 cents a GAL
lon in one to $l.10 in another. Many
tax spirits at so cents gallon.
State control laws differ tremen-
dously. Some require drinkers to sit,
others permit them to stand. In one,
sellers are liable for damage done by
persons they have helped to become
intoxicated. Use of the words bar
and saloon" on taproom signs is for
hidden in another.
No drinks on the house are allowed
in third.
State control officials will have a ma
tional conference soon in an effort to
work out better and somewhat
standardized legislation.

This
Changing
World
Arms Factories Busy
as a Result of
Conferences.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

7NHE results of the various dis
armament conferences already
are noticeable in Europe. The
l. arms factories are working
overtime.
The Vickers- Armstrong plant has
more orders on hand than it can
cope with The same thing applies to
the French factories, while the Skoda
works, in Czechoslovakia, is using
night shifts and is still far behind
delivering the rush orders from for
eign countries.
While the British and French are
more or less discriminating to whom
they deliver the new war material, the
Czechs sell to whomever can pay cash
with the order.

NEWARK, N j., November IA
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, war ace,
took a cheerful view today of the fall
ure of his first attempt to complete
round-trip flight between Newark and
Miami, Fla, between dawn and dusk. y
1t was long after dusk-11:27:30
p.m. last night to be eXact-When
Rickenbacker settled the big silver air
liner, Florida flyer, at Newark Air
port. The round trip to Miami con-
sumed II hours 18 minutes and 80
seconds.
Heavy head winds, snow and ice
thwarted the speedy ships record at
tempt from the start.
I'VE couldn't have picked worse
day for this one," said Rickenbacker
as he alighted. I'VE got the worst
apple in the barrel"
He promised another attempt under
better conditions.
Leaving New York at 6:08 yesterday
morning Rickenbacker had figured on
reaching Miami by 1890. He got
there at 2:44 and started back l hour
and minutes later.
Although he was far behind his own
hoped-for speed, he was far ahead of
schedules that existed until yesterday.
His was the first flight on a new g.
hour service from New York to Miami.
Other planes on that route now take
IL hours and make nine stops.
Rickenbacker attempted to complete
the round trip in IA hours.

A LEADING BANKER

DEOPLE who like to discuss whether the gov
Il eminent ought to take over banking might
stop a moment and consider to what extent
it already has done So
Since the banking crisis of March, 1888,
great changes have swept across the whole
banking world, changes so sweeping that few
realize them. The American Bankers AsSo-
citation recently summed up some of them,
and the picture it draws is enlightening.
For instance, we used to have 10000 banks,
back in 1921. Now we have something more
than $4,000, a decrease of around $4,000 more
than halD.
About 1000 banks have vanished since
March, 1888 Several thousand banks owe the
RFC more than half billion dollars on pledge
of valuable parts of their assets.
The RFC has taken more than a billion
dollars worth of stock in 6400 banks by way
of increasing capitalization, including many
Of the strongest banks in the country. Thus
1t has an interest in "A per cent of all banks
today
million people and institutions have Dor
rowed from the $500 loaning associations and
corporations started by the government to ex-
tend various types of credit.
The RFC also has direct loans to various
corporations totaling around $700000000.
In the deposit field, the postal savings Sys-
tenn has grown amazingly. More than $780,
600 people now have savings on deposit in the
5000 postofices authorized to receive them.
A thousand such Offices have had to be added
during the last four years.
Private agencies virtually have abdicated
from the credit field, the survey indicates.
From 1922-1931 securities fioated in private
capital markets averaged more than five bill
lions a year. During 1932-1933 these issues
shrank to 1921 100000 a year, decrease Of
almost 90 per cent. Somebody had to do the
financing. SO the treasury did it.
Add in the fact of federal deposit insur-
ance giving another government agency a
direct interest in banking. Divorce of the
security business from commercial banking
puts new complexion on the whole field, and
the influence of the federal reserve system ad-
mittedly is rising.
So when you hear discussion of whether
the government ought to go into banking,
it's well to realize right at the outset that the
government already is in banking-right up
TO the hips

HULL TO HITLER

CECRETARY HULL'S note to Germany
~ seems to say about all there is to say on
the American side of the quarrel over Ger
many's default on obligations due American
investors.
The secretary, fundamentals in econ
onlcs, pointed out with cruel logic how Chan
cellor Hitler's world be-damned policies have
been the cause Of Germany's present predica-
ment Germany's credit is destroyed. Ger
manys default has been deliberate, and as
much the cause as the result Of her present in
ability to obtain sufficient exchange.
1t is true that long years of paying out
exorbitant reparations drained Germany OF
her gold. 1t also is true that the pre-Hitler
regimes overborrowed. But Germany still had
credit abroad, until the Hitler government
began fagrantly to abuse that credit and defy
the world

ARISTOCRACY LEVELED

THERE'S something slightly instructive in
that recent story about the blue-blooded
Illinois woman who was arrested in Pennsyl-
vania for a traffic violation and who, because
she didn't happen to have the cash with her to
pay her fine, had to spend two days in Jail.
The lady didn't like it at all, and she pro-
tested that such things are not for people OF
my sort" Her son added in the same vein,
IT'S a disgrace to Pennsylvania to jail
woman of my mothers standing"
Such reactions are natural enough, of
course. Lots Of jails are pretty disgraceful
places; lots of traffic officers lack sympathy
ana understanding But we are still, in theory,
a democracy, and all people are supposed to
be equal before the law.
If Nick Gaffney can be jagged for crash
ing a red light, so can Mrs Peyster de Peyster.
Protests about people of our sort" are out of
place IN America.

CONGRATULATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS Street Railway Company
employees shared $4,000 in dividends in
1888 the annual report of the company dis
closes.
The service of that same company i'm
proved. during the period from Jan. l, 1888,
to Dec. 81. 1888 by about 1000 per cent.
More persons are riding street cars than
ever before in the city's history. At last, In
dianapolis has a real street railways system.
Now. some indictments are finding fault
with the indianapolis Street Railways. The
7-cent fare is too high they say. Perhaps it
is high. But who would trade the present
7-cent service for scent service, which prob
ably would approximate the kind OF trans
portation We we're getting back in 1882.
Charles Chase. president of the street car
company. Is one of the most progressive direc-
tors in the United States. When ne has his
street railways company on its feet properly.
it is only right to assume that he Will take
steps TO reduce the fare.
indianapolis has no kick coming on its
street railways
Il should dofT its hat to Mr.. Chase.

SUMNER NIGHTS DREAM

THE return of beer does not find favor with
i the entire population Of Indianapolis
but it can be said safely that thousands Of In
dianapolis residents enjoyed the relaxation OF
beer parlors last night.
Suffering from a terrific day of heat IN
Offices. factories and homes, hundreds Of In
dianapolis' taxpayers focked to the beer dis
pensaries. Their very GOODNESS was relief
from the rigors OF the heat wave.
No doubt many Of the persons in these
places did not order beer. Probably they con-
fined themselves 10 numerous soft and cooling
drinks that were on sale.
And. too. the ice cream parlorS were not
far behind in popularity. Every place in the
CITY and the outskirts where there was the OPP
portunity to buy a cooling drink. frappe or
dipper Of ice cream had its share Of customers.
But it took night such as last night to
prove 10 indianapolis that the eonviviality Of
beer places. where one may go for a drink or
Two Of beer without being molested, is some
thing worth having.

MORE HOPE FOR FARMERS

IF the statistics compiled by L. H. Bean, eco
l. nomic adviser for the AAA, tell the whole
story a genuine and substantial recovery
seems to be setting in for the farmer
Farm prices, reports Mr.. Bean, have gone
up very materially. The farmers cash income,
during the first four months of this year, was
approximately 43 per cent above the income
for the same period last year. From August,
1888, when the distribution of benefit pay
ments began, to last April, farm cash income
was % per cent above the income for the same
period in the year before.
To be sure. the farmers expenses have
risen also-by about u per cent. But the
farmer, according to Mr.. Bean, still is left with
a gratifying net increase, most of which is
due to rises in prices of produce rather than
TO payments made by the government for
crop reduction; and the news is extremely
gratifying healthy agriculture must be
the basis for any real restoration of prosperity.

FRIDAY- - II -.
THE PRESIDENT REPORTS

MYTH Characteristic charm. President
Roosevelt last night spoke across his
desk to the American people In understand
able language he stated the issues that have
arisen over the New Deal
He said, in effect: These things, we have
done; judge by your own experience whether
you have been served. These further things
We intend to do.
There has been substantial economic re-
cOvery under the New Deal. the President be-
heves. and he put his belief to this test:
The simplest way for each OF you to
judge recovery lies in the plain facts Of your
own individual situation. Are you better of
than you were last year? Are your debts less
burdensome? Is your bank account more Sc
cure? Are your working conditions better?
Is your faith in your own individual future
grounded more frmly?"
Those are challenging questions. The aver
age man may not comprehend the rise and
fall Of car loadings or the fuctuation. Of price
and production indices. But he does know
whether ne is better of or worse That the
President is willing to be judged by these
tangibles reflects a real confidence in the
course he is pursuing.
The President carried his smpliication of
issues likewise into the field of intangibles,
paying his respects TO the hokum that is heard
concerning the loss Of individual liberty"
Read the bill of rights, said the President
"and ask yourself whether you personally
have suffered the impairment Of a single jot
Of these great assurances"
It is interesting reading-that famed bill
Of rights It guarantees: Freedom Of worship,
Of assembly, Of speech, Of the press; protection
against unreasonable searches and seizures;
protection against double jeopardy. against
loss Of life, liberty or property, without due
process Of law; trial by jury; protection
against excessive fines. cruel or unusual pun
ishment.
By asking each man to canvass his rights
to see whether any had been taken from him,
the President did about all that could be done
to debunk the charges Of RECOMMENDATION, Com
munism and Fascism Unfortunately heaped
upon his program.
Most significant in the speech, however,
was his answer to the question: Where do We
go from here?"-a question uppermost in the
minds of all Americans.
His answer was. toward more security 4OI
the people, by provision for better homes, by
planned use Of water and land resources TO
the end that the means Of livelihood of our
citizens may be more adequate to meet their
daily needs" and by social insurance TO pro-
vide sound and adequate protection against
the vicissitudes of modern life"
In other words. the President proposes to
tackle 1,e,t what is uerfaDs the graVeSt prob
lem Of civilization Based on his performance
to GATE the country has assurance that
he Will at least. tackle it in earnest and that
he will have something to show for his efforts
at the end Of another year

PROPOSES PETITIONS
FOR FAIRGROUNDS
BY Northsider.

BY Northsider.
May I add my humble voice to
that of The Times in an appeal for
a park for north side children?
Our children must play in empty
lots; must take long trolley trips to
find proper swimming pools; must.
where there are no empty lots, play
in the streets with the eYer-present
danger of automobiles.
Your paper says that there have
been siXty-two traffic fatalities in
indianapolis this year. 1t would be
interesting to know how many Of
these were children. 1t would be
still more interesting to know how
many children we're killed playing
in streets because there was no park
near their homes.
Politicians apparently fear to
spend money on the north side.
Some have suggested that this is
because they believe all north siders
are rich or because they believe all
north siders send their children to
camps.
I should like to say that, while J.
own my own home and pay taxes
regularly on it, am not rich and 1
can not afford to send my child to
a summer camp.
I should like to see park on the
north side. I should be willing to
aid in circulating petitions for such
a park.
Perhaps this is out Of The Times
field, but, if it could print and start
such petitions, I am sure it would
find thousands of signers.

URGES PLAYGROUND
ON NORTH SIDE

BY Indignant Northside Mother.
I applaud the efforts of The
Times to obtain a playground for
north side children. My only criti-
cism is that your ever-alert paper
did not take up this issue before.
There is an unfair assumption
upon the part of our city fathers
that north side families are prosper
Gus enough to belong to country
clubs or send their children away
for the summer. This is true, pos
sibly, of less than 10 per cent.
I live north of hirty-eighth
street and have two small children.
During these sitting days they
must fret in small yard. The sun
has so Scorched the yard that the
children have only dust and dry
grass as a playground.
I am almost sick with indignation
when 1 think of the beautiful play
grounds for children in other Sec
lions of the city and of the acreage
used for golf courses. The summer
heat has made my children fretful
and whining. They can't use other
Fairgrounds. They can't play golf.
And yet our family pays taxes.
Being confined in a small yard
has i'll mental effects on child.
He grows morose, sullen and I'M
communicative. I am moving all
heaven ond earth to get the children
off to the country for few weeks
SO they will regain their vivacity. 1t
will take much more money than
we can possibly afford.
I appeal to you as a newspaper to
aid my children and hundreds of
other north side children who must
loll dull-eyed in their own small
yards. Why can't our park system
at least stay out of politics long
enough to give parks to the deserv-
ing instead of the voting?
