I Whouy disapprove Of aOhat you sag and sal

I intellectual honesty of every critic
of the Supreme Court. Either the
writer is Woefully ignorant of
Supreme Court history or else he
is one of a number of persons with
known motives who are deliberately
defending the fundamental rot
tenness of the American political
system.
1t seems as though some people
are trying to put a halo around
each lawyers head as soon as he
becomes a judge.
He says an executive usurps power.
After all, in this republic, the power
Of government is only theoretically
in the hands of the people and If
any one usurps power, he isn't taking
it away from the people because
they haven't had any to lose. May
be people without money once had
some power in this country but, if
so, against the relentless an
tagonism of the Supreme Court,
they can call that power a myth.
G.. M. S. says that, "A govern
ment which begins by the uncOn-
%stitutional seizure of the rich mans
gold usually ends up with the equal
ly obnoxious and equally illcial
seizure of the poor mans silver" 1
see that it is unconstitutional to
take money from a rich man and
merely illegal to take it from a poor
man. The statement seems con-
trary to facts.
The government has always been
hesitant about taxing the rich man
and is continually showering penny
taxes on the poor man.

THINGS AREN'T so
SMOOTH IN CANADA

By William F. Pickens
From time to time, we hear in
Indiana critics of the NRA and the
Roosevelt administration saying that
Canada has no NRA and she is
having no unemployment troubles.
Within the two weeks I have
been in Canada an army Of unem-
ployed assembled at Regina to-
ward the northwest, in the province
of Ontario, and began a march on
Toronto, growing in numbers as 1t
progressed, and by the time the gov
eminent could get it stopped it had
grown to such proportions that IL
cost the province $4,000 to pay the
transportation of the marchers back
to their homes.
There is now forming an army OF
unemployed in eastern Ontario and
Quebec provinces marching on OF

Application Of that principle of economics has
maintained many a foreign prince in the style
to which he had become accustomed-plus.
The margin is 4 per cent. Which means
you pay the seller only 4 cents. a figure so
low in merchandising as to be considered
suicide by the old school of doing business.

There being 50 weeks in the year, and 50

which is much more than enough, we have

Had wages commensurate with ability to

of production and consumption might have
been attained which would have permitted
this nation to get full action on its produc-

But in all that process a new formula was
found; a formula which should not be junked,
in behalf of a return to smallness, just be-
cause the formula produced serious evils along
with tremendous benefits. Possibilities still
latent in that formula are so great, in terms
of general economic welfare, that the job is
to make it work, to correct its evils, not to de-
stroy it.
We said in our first article on bigneSs that
such a subject should be dealt with in small

This appears to be a now hack

TRACK ELEVATION

MYTH hundreds Of cities obtaining ap-
w proyal Of projects to put men TO work
and with the Federal government earmarking
millions for state projects, it somehow seems
absurd that Indianapolis is still doing little
but talking about the m~uch-needed track ele-
vation program.
Civic organizations and non-political groups
have long been driving for the completion of
tka program, but somewhere along the line
there is a lack Of cooperation.
indianapolis needs the track elevation pro-
gram completed. Now is the time to do it.
Just what Is going to be done about it?

A s the story goes. Marcus Loew stood in
"A the lobby Of his theater and watched a
scant 20 trickle in. More people have got a
dime than have got a dollar" he said, talking
to himself.
On that discovery. his tremendous fortune
was built.
Loew had been in the theater business for
a long time, on the conventional basis Of
charging as much as he thought he could
get. In those days two dollars was the top.
And 20 customers had shown up at that price
that night.
There was the overhead, the investment.
interest working "a hours a day, heat, light,
taxes. %janitors, the orchestra. the guaranty,
the depreciation, insurance, and all incidentals
$40 worth Of customers, and 1880 empty seats.
So Mr.. Loew did a quick job Of mental arith-
metic. If he had charged a dime and had
filled his place he would have taken in 5000
instead of $40. Even that wouldn't have been
so good, considering operating costs versus the
intake, but costs could be adjusted, if he could
get the crowd. And so the lesson was applied.
the fortune made, and a phase Of what later
came to be called the theory of mass produc-
ton was learned.
TTENRY FORD turned out his first car 30
II years ago this month. He was 40 and
broke. AS he struggled with his inventions
and his financing and the many other prob
lens that must be encountered by a crack
pot" inventor trying to keep af1oat, he eventu-
ally came to this simple conclusion: LAS you
cut your price you broaden your market"
Just so many could buy cars at $500 a
crack. and so many more, in a sort of geo.
metric progression, could buy as the price went
down. Battling associates who were all for the
old idea of getting as much per unit as they
could. he put that economic philosophy into
practical application. You know the rest. In
one generation h has made a fortune that
is conservatively estimated at a billion, and by
some as high as 10 b-inions-wealth that did
not exist when this century was born.
Back in 1926 there was much talk OF
profteering. Ford was charged with that. 1t
was said that he was making a profit OF $3.50
on every car. The writer became interested IN
the problem of just what was profteering. He
took the total of Fords production for the
previous year and applied various proht
figures, starting with $50 and grading down
first to 500, then to $50, then to $40, then
TO $40. then to 81, and finally to l cent.
The answer was that, even at cent a car
Ford would would be making more than the
salary of the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. Mass production again.

BOTH MAJOR PARTIES SHOULD
UPHOLD CONSTITUTION

By George A. Hoffman
I am a Republican and proud Of
it. 1 am an American citizen and
proud of it. I am a firm believer
in the precepts of the Constitution
Of these United States of America.
I am u~nalterably opposed to the
tendency of the Democratic Party
to ~centralize and alter form of
government.
I am unalterably opposed to too
much government in business. How
ever, 1 believe what we need is more
business in government, to the end
that the business of government
should be conducted as a business
for the people, and not for a bunch
of greedy politicians. All good Re-
publicans as well as all good Dem
ocrats should not miss a chance to
get back to the Constitution.
