THE JUDGES RULE

IN Chicago a federal judge invokes the Con-
stitution to shield a hat company from
enforcement of NRA code provisions. In New
York state court. an auto retailer is convicted
of violating a code. In Cleveland, another fed
eral judge affirms the right of the govern
ment to buy land for low-cost housing projects.
These items from one days news indicate
to what extent judges are our real lawmakers
and rulers. Decisions each day are piled on
the growing mountain of rulings that compli-
cate the workings of the New Deal Judges
have disagreed on the power of the govern
ment to curb hot OIL" to enforce collective
bargaining with employees to prevent chiseling
an agreed wage scale.
Some judges regard the Constitution as
Strait-lacket, binding the American people for
all time. Other judges see it as living organ
of government designed to guide and protect
the people in their cooperative efforts for the
common good
Federal judges serve for life. and set prec-
edents that live long after they are dead
New Dealers may expect to make but little
permanent progress so long as the old guard
holds the judicial power of veto President
Roosevelt has no long-range responsibility
more important than filling federal judiciary
vacancies with men of vision.

HOW IT WAS DONE

IF Dillinger and his gang of gunner planned
their Indiana bank robberies as thoroughly
as they did in Ohio the law enforcement
agencies of this state are confronted with a
question mark which will not be erased easily.
Today in one of series of stories written
by Basil Gallagher on the inside operations
of the Dillinger gang, it is revealed that the
mob leader and his henchmen planned care
fully every move they made before they
launched a bank attack
From their detailed reports on the bank
situation in several Ohio towns and the charts
used to outline the roads of escape it is appar-
ent that the ground must have been covered
many times.
To have done such a complete job, either
Dillinger or members of his gang must have
been face to face with police officers and lead
ing citizens of the Ohio towns time and time
again.
AS long as criminals are able to carry on
such campaigns, unmolested by the law, it is
no wonder that bank robbing is a profitable
business.

WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS

THE late Tom Marshall made the vice.
u presidency famous by his statement that
what this country needs is a good scent
cigar. Now officials Of another Democratic
administration say that what the country
needs is a good scent pack Of cigarets.
J. B. Hutson, chief of the A. A. A. tobacco
section, has it all worked out. He thinks that
reduction in tobacco taxes would increase
consumption stimulate competition among
manufacturers, and permit a fair profit all
around on a nickel package of fifteen cigarets
Some months ago the house ways and
means committee suggested 10 per cent re-
duction of tobacco taxes, and tobacco men
were Of the opinion that this would mean an
equal increase in consumption with mutual
benefit to farmer manufacturer, merchant
and consumer
We are not experts in this matter But we
confess to a vigorous prejudice against these
excessive sales taxes. especially the unequal
burden carried by the tobacco industry and
as smokers, we certainly would not object to
getting our tobacco cheaper.

RELIEF RECIPIENT
PRAISES ACTION

Those in charge Of Center town
ship relief are to be commended
for one act of efficiency. Since I
was one Of the recipients, feel a
bit duty bound to offer the COM
pliment, though I know that excess
encouragement is just as detrlmen-
tai as too much criticism.
At the time Of discontinuance Of
the civil works administration in
the early spring, the workers all
applied for the regular relief. Each
one was supposed TO have made new
application. After this some Of the
applicants waited three or four days
till the investigator could get
around to make a useless repeti-
ton of those improbable investi-
cations.
Most Of the men had been relief
recipients for two or three years
and had been investigated, some Of
them probably ten times or more,
vet instead of renewing the old
account, which would have been
much better for all concerned, they
went to the trouble Of opening new
accounts.

change, to stifle consumption. we
submit to autocratic anarchy.
Since we are barking up the
wrong tree, in substituting sabo-
tage of production, we can re-
verse the program to stimulate
consumption by substituting con-
sumption. Those whose pay en-
velopes do not permit consump-
ton on a basis which our pro-
duction facilities are capable of
creating, should be provided with
the tickets by subsidy.
The government is destroying
goods to create paper tickets. Let
it create tickets to permit goods
to be consumed by those who are
deprived Of this privilege through
low wages and unemployment.
Taxes can regulate the volume
of outstanding tickets. Bankers
have no right to create or with
hold the money tickets. That's
a sovereign function.

BY Realist.
The program of crop reduction
proceeds on the theory that a
scarcity of goods means that they
become more valuable by denying
the consumers the use of them.
The object is to raise prices.
Prices rise effectively when con-
sumers have the tickets to abb
sorb and consume the goods.
Prices fall when consumers do
not have the tickets necessary to
obtain raw materials or manufac-
tured goods which they desire and
need.
Scarcity of tickets prevents con-
sumption. We are laundering
along, paying subsidies for not
producing the goods which every
one needs and wants. Sabotage
never can create wealth. Tickets
or money are not wealth. They
are potential wealth. Only when
they are exchanged for goods do
they have any value.

ORGANIZED labor. the employers Of In
~ dianapois and the community as a whole
should. We think. welcome the $4,000 suit
brought b. Tom Smith against Kingan 8, Co.
his former employer.
Mr.. Smith says he was discharged because
Of his activities IN behalf OF union labor.
Kingan d Co. has not replied publicly TO this,
but company officials undoubtedly VIII contend
that Smith lost his JOB for other reasons.
It is out Of Just such situations as this that
serious industrial warfare grows. Society toll
crates the strike as an economic weapon only
because nothing better has been found. In
a true industrial democracy the strike would
be unnecessary. Just as IN a properly func-
tioning political democracy the activities Of
vgilsntes would be condemned.
The last Indiana legislature took long
step toward the orderly settlement Of labor
disputes when IL made the courts available to
both employer and employe. In Chapter II
the lawmakers laid down a general policy
much more specific than Section IA in the
federal law.
This policy declares the right Of the en-
ploye to full freedom of association, self
organization and designation of representa-
tives Of his own choosing to negotiate the
terms and conditions Of his employment" 1t
also makes clear the right Of the worker to be
free to decline to associate with his fellows"
if he so chooses.
Section of the same chapter LAYS down the
terms under which a suit for damages may be
brought. To be sure, this section is negative
in that it gives the conditions under which an
action Will not be permitted, but the intent Of
the legislature is perfectly plain that damages
may be collected under the proper circum-
stances.
Mr.. Smith and his attorney, Mr.. Owens, are
performing public service by testing this law.
Labor never before has taken advantage of it.
It is to be hoped that Kingan & Co.'S counsel
will put nothing in the way of a speedy trial.
The courts OF this country are set up to
make possible the adjudication of disputes so
that the peace and dignity Of society as
whole may be maintained.
If Indiana has found a way Of lifting labor
troubles out of the guerilla warfare class and
into the courtroom, where they belong it has
set an example which Will rebound to the
credit of the state throughout the entire
nation.
Nobody ever really wins a strike. Law
suits are far cheaper, far more IN keeping
with the American tradition, and lead to bet
ter and more lasting settlements.

HISTORIANS nowadays generally agree
that Marie Antoinctte. when she learned
that the people Of France had no bread. did
not make that famous crack-~Let them eat

Nevertheless the story Will persist; for
whether she actually said it or not. the re-
mark illustrates perfectly the attitude Of the
Bourborns toward the masses OF France. and
it helps 10 explain why those masses eventu-
ally rose and cut their sOvereigns' heads of.
For some reason one IS reminded OF that
hoary anecdote by the recent experiences Of

Mr.. Allen wanted to md out how the

OFFERS METHOD TO
PROTECT DEPOSITORS.
Br W. C. z.

By w. C. F.
Who is responsible for losses of
depositors in closed banks? State
inspectors receive salaries for in
speeding the banks. Is the state re-
sponsible for their neglect? 1t may
be the law that the state IS not re-
Sponsible, but is this justice?
What could be more in line for re-
covery than for the banks to pay de-
poSitors? National government, the
national banks, state government,
state banks-if there is a loss, let
the company that was supposed to
protect make good.
If the deposits have been stolen,
it is up to the employer to prosecute
the bankers and pay the depositors.
This will put money in circulation
by the owners. What if the Gov
ernor or state does lose? Who can
they blame? Their hired man
caused the loss.

WHAT LAW DOES FOR
RICH AND POOR

BY Helen Stewart.
Your editorial of July 81 shows
you don't understand the attITu1-
the public in regard to John Dill
finger.
Who is public enemy No. l? Not
John Dillinger, who stole several
thousands from banks and possibly
slew policeman.
What about Samuel insult? Both
were wrong, but notice the differ
ence.
John Dillinger was slain by fifteen
federal men, shot in the back. Sam
uel insult was arrested by bowling
and scraping officers, who conceded
it was a crime to keep an old man
in Jail, so he was allowed to get out
on bail
Such is the fallacy Of justice in
this country.
The government only has proved
what We have known for a long
time. There are two kinds Of law
one for the rich and another for
the poor.

OPPOSES BETRAYALS TO
CATCH CRIMINALS
Bv A Reader.

By Reader.
In answer to William HIS letter, I
wish to express my opinion in the
Dillinger case.
Mr.. H. seems to me a man who
considers himself in a higher class.
He says there are so many bad un-
derworld men and women. and the
best way they can serve society is to
betray one another.
I would not consider a man of
that kind very highly educated or as
one knowing much about the Bible.
1 90 not think he stopped to realize
that the betrayal kiss of Judas sent
the Lord to his death. Isuppose he
would not consider that a sin.
To betray some one who has been
a friend, would be as great sin as
being a criminal.
He says we should ask ourselves if
it was necessary for Dillinger to
kill. Perhaps it wasn't. But on the
other hand, let him ask himself If
it is necessary for township trus-
tees to keep families who own their

A few days ago Captain Leach re-

EMISSIONS TREND
TOWARD WAR
By DOubter.

BY DOubter.
War in Europe seems to be only a
matter of time. Preparations of
Great Britain to train for defense
against air raids, indicates the high
tension prevailing. The addition Of
bombing planes to the royal air
forces, to equal or excel other ma
lions speaks of intentions, while
gestures at Geneva merely indicate
pretenSionS.
The Rhine is our frontier" said
Stanley Baldwin to parliament.
How can any nation boast OF civ
ilization whose major detectives
are conquest and destruction of the
very essentials of civilization?
The creation of additions to eX-
listing material wealth, speaks of re-
finement in civilization. To develop
the arts and sciences to their ut
most human perfection, for better
standards of living for the masses,
should be the outstanding charac-
teristic of boosted civilization.
Western Europe, divided into ma
tionalities, apparently is fixed to de-
stroy the heritage of past ages in
another bath of blood and arson.
Stagnation of industry, poverty OF
the masses, fear, hatred, turmoil,
are the products Of the vicious ma
tionalism of interdependent western
nations.
We call the economic system OF
western Europe, with its social con-
sequences, the ideal of capitalism.
War, destruction, misery, are the
ultimate ends of the system.
Contrast the program Of COM
munistic Russia embracing eastern
Europe and many nationalitieS, OBJ
literating old boundary lines, with
its program of conquest over the
forces of nature for the enrichment
of human life, to that of western
Europe bent on destruction OF life
and property.
Attitudes and detectives determine
the value of any system. Perhaps
a blood bath will be necessary for
western Europe to fix its detectives
on building civilization, instead Of
its destruction. The Russian pro-
gram speaks for itself. Bogus de-
mocracy only fools the people.

MILITARY CONTRAST

WTHEN Premier Mussolini decided that he
" might at any moment be obliged to send
troops into Austria, it took him rather less
than twenty-four hours to concentrate four
war-strength army divisions, fully equipped
and ready for action. along the Austro-Italian
border
When President Roosevelt visited Hawaii
he reviewed the one fully equipped division
which the United States army possesses No
where on the mainland could one full division
be assembled, without a month or so OF. prep
aration, shifting Of troops. expanding of skele-
tonized units, and so forth
The contrast is an eloquent testimonial to
the peaceful prospects which permit the
United States TO maintain a small army.
Every European nation must keep its army
on war footing, ready for action at any time.
But We can afford to maintain Just one divi-
sion-and We can keep it on an island, 1000
miles away from the mainland
