utive (three of then) dated Jan
uary, March and October, in which
he said it was the states duty to
do so. I also have a letter from
Senator VanNuys, who says he is
for oldage pensions, and one from
Mr.. j. w. Napp, whose letter
prophesies "a special session to meet
the requirements of the old-age pen
sion legislation that Congress is
likely to enact" dated Oct. II. Paul
McNutt's exact words in a letter to
me March l, 1885: IF such a law
is enacted by the Federal govern
ment, of necessity the state measure
must be drawn to meet it." Oct. O.:

the Federal money is ready"
The above letters I have before
me. If promise should be made
good to any class, it is to the needy
old people. Many classes and ages
will be benefited by social laws
recently passed; so should we. The
average pension now is only $3.50
monthly. That's a shame and a dis
grace to our proud state.

PRESIDENT QUEZON. c. P.L

TODAY, in far Manila, salute of laundering
guns will mark the Inauguration of the worlds
latest chief of state, President Manuel uezon of the
new Commonwealth of the Philippine Islands
To BOTH our most sincere congratulations May
they live long and prosper We of America have the
right to feel proud. Our nation has kept promise
given IS years ago by President William Mckinley
In taking over the Philippines as a result of an
unexpected accident of the Spanish American War
he fastened to assure the people of the islands and
the world that this was no ordinary conquest Said
he:
I'VE shall continue to make these people whom
Providence has brought within our jurisdiction feel
that it is their liberty. not power their welfare
and not our gain we seeking to enhance"
At this cynical world smiled. Historys pages are
not cluttered with examples of great powers taking
weak peoples and training them, at no little
cost, for self-g government and final, full ndepend-
ence
So congi atulations due all the way round: To
Americans for promise kept-even if Congress
pushed to it by somewhat sordid motives; to the
Filipinos for being such apt pupils and for their
patience; to President Quezon who, in season and
out, ceased to battle for freedom with all his
heart and soul.
DUT let us not forget that much still remains to
~ be done. Neither President Ouezon, nor the
Philippines yet ourselves out of the woods.
Ten years still to go before the islands become
ful-fledged republic, and between and then
they must become economically sef-supporting. If
they don't, political independence will be sham
and delusion
From the beginning, the United States has sought
to spur the islands along these lines. Foreign
trade particularly encouraged But while foreign
trade expanded handsomely, it expanded mostly in
one direction 1t was largely with the United States
Whereas back in 1900 the United States took
only II per cent of the islands products, in 1884
it took 81 per cent. And IS per cent of all their
imports were from the United States
True, beginning the second half of the 10-year
stage as commonwealth the independence act
calls for trade adjustments The idea is to pro-
vide for taperng off period to leave the republic
at it's debut precisely the same footing as any
other foreign power.
But economists foresee tremendous difficulties
ahead. They fear American policy has tended to
make the islands too dependent upon this country
for any such quick transition. Modification of
trade relations-to-be is imperative if we
are to be true to our moral obligations. Moreover
enlightened sef-interest dictates such a course.
Their liberty, not our power" Mckinley said
was to be our guide. Their welfare, and not our
gain is what seeking to enhance"
So on this historic day let us highly resolve as
the traditional phrase has it, that will keep that
honorable pledge

In reference to the foregoing, this

there were no worries or cares.
There are comparatively few peo-

follow the precedent set forth by
their former associates. They turn
their attention to the more lofty

with the vicious, grimacing faces
and grotesque shapes of flying

addition to appeasing their desires
for publicity, appease the simple

EFFORTS OF ROOSEVELT
ARE APPLAUDED

BY Frank n. Happ
We are passing through one of
the most important periods since
we became an independent country.
When the depression fell upon us
with such devastating force it found
us unequipped and unprepared. We
had learned that we had to have a
great Navy to preserve US from
foreign aggression. We had learned
that we had to keep the nucleus
or a sufficient Army to defend our
rights, if it came to war.
In a degree, we had learned to
provide against floods and droughts
and epidemics. But, when it came
to worldwide economic collapse,
we were caught without charts or
maps, or even a comprehensive
theory as to how such a calamity
should be met.
When our factories were closed,
when perhaps 100000 people
were out of employment, when
banks we're topping like tenpins,
and nothing seemed secure, we
found man who had a plan and
was brave enough to try it out.
Like our "forty-niners, he struck
for g goal where no trail had been
blazed; he proceeded to make his
own trail, and I need not tell you,
who are cognizant of the differences
between today and the day that
President Roosevelt came to the
White House, that the trail he cut
will endure as one of the great
monuments in the history of prog
ress.
We have come long way to-
ward the desired goal, yet the jour-
ney is far from complete. We have
come so far that some people, real
izing that the promised land is in
sight, would seek again to place
their own interests above the in
terests of all, and to supplant the
leadership that has brought us
along so we'll with their own lead
ership.
In the old days of European
kingships there was a saying that
"the king can do no wrong" The
Republican Party leaders have sub
substituted for this expression of
extravagant loyalty, THE President
can do no right"

GAS COMPANY CONTEST
BRINGS COMPLAINT
BY c. r. Newton

BY C. r. Newton
Why don't you get on to the new
Citizens Gas Co.? 1t is forcing it's
employees to sell gas heaters and
holds a threat over them that if they
don't, it might mean discharge.
These men word hard, and when
they are off need their rest. There
are plenty of unemployed that could
sell, and do better than many of
the employees at the gas company.
think it is a great stunt for
city like Indianapolis to resort to
such coercion. I am not an employee
of the company but there isn't a day
but what some one from there
doesn't try to sell me one of the
heaters.

Sway and rustic to breeze that

THE ANSWER:

Thomas L. Kemp, Citizens Gas
and Coke Utility manager, said:
1--WE now have an employees sales
contest on gas heaters. Employees
taking part in it are paid commits
sions on their sales and thus aug
ment their incomes. Of course, it is
necessary to take them as any
group of unframed statesmen, and
teach them to sell in conferences.
Joining the contest is entirely
optional and there is no coercion.
There is no penalty of discharge if
they don't join the contest or if,
having joined it, they don't sell
any,"
