beyond words.
The accusation was in substance
that the secretary of the treasury
had defrauded the treasury OF
money he owed it. This very grave
accusation was made publicly on
March 10. Then two months
passed before the department
made an effort to Substantiate it
and before Mr.. Mellon had
chance to answer it.
That is not justice. It is the
business of grand juries to decide
whether man shall be accused OF
crime. Until they have decided
that there is evidence juStifying
the accusation, it is not the bust
ness of administrative officials to
accuse him in the newspapers and
arraign him before public opinion.
If Mr.. Cummings thought he had
a case against Mr.. Mellon it was
his duty to lay it before grand
jury without any preliminary pub
licity, and let the grand jury de-
eide whether Mr.. Mellon should be
accused. That is what grand juries
are for. They exist to determine
not whether man is guilty or
innocent, but whether there is
enough evidence to justify an &C
cusation against him.
DY bringing the accusation two
ID months before the grand jury
had even seen the evidence, Mr..
Cummings committed an act of
profound injustice.
The injustice of the thing is
matched only by its stupidity. Any
one who thought about the matter
for three minutes should have
known that the chances of Mr..
Melons cheating on his income
tax we're not one in a million. He
was the secretary of the treasury
during the year covered by the tax
return. Is it conceivable that
man in his position, with an in

year, deliberately would have

INSTITUTE PLANS
TO Be LAUNCHED
Prof. WesterfieId, Monetary
Policy Committee Head,
Arrives for Work.

Prof. Ray B. Westerfeld Of Yale
University. president Of the Econo-
mists' National Committee on None
tary Policy, has come to Washington
to establish headquarters for an or
ganization to be known as the Income
Extension Institute.
The institute, according to Prof.
Westerfield, Is to be extended to o
Nationwide basis for the purpose of
opposing the present trend of de-
pendence upon the Government for
charitable relief and security against
old age and the time of need, and to
restore a popular belief in thrift on
the part of the Nation and Of the in
dividual.
State Charity Inequitable.
The Yale economist declared that
State charity is inequitable, every
industry and institution being morally
obligated not only to pay wages that
afford workers a decent living, but to
provide for old age security and the
other ills Of life"
His plan to meet the problem Is
o system of automatic saving and
the conversion of the savings into
safe annuities that will provide for
retirement at the age Of so with an
adquate income for the average
person
To do this, Prof Westerfield said,
the Government should provide for
the sale OF savings certificates and
annuities in which wage earners and
others skeptical Of present insurance
companies could invest. He believes
also that present pension schemes are
deficient and should be extensively
revised and overhauled
