MELONS MILLIONS

MANY perhaps have begrudged to Andrew
w Mellon his millions amidst so much pow
erty, but all will be gratified by the news that
he Will build a s5OOOOOOO art gallery in the
nations capital as a gift to the American
people.
Many of our mllionaires have proved
themselves generous and public minded men.
This magnificent gesture of the aging grand
duke of oil and aluminium is typical
However, although We, as a people, may
be profoundly grateful for a new gallery of
old masters. built around Mr.. Melons famous
nineteen million dollar collection, we can not
help but think that there could have been
better ways for the Pittsburgh Croesus to show
his affection for the American people.
How much more he might have contribute
ed to general happiness by taking less profits
out of his multitude OF enterprises and pay
ing higher wages and salaries to those who
helped him build his fortune.
How much more he might have promoted
art-cOnsciousness in America by buying the
modest works of living artists as well as col
lecting the masterpieces of the dead.
BY spending a few thousand dollars on the
Public Works of Art project last year, the New
Deal Administration gave to American art
perhaps a greater impetus than it will de-
rive from exclusive galleries that have cost
millions. BY employing penniless artists and
encoura ging them in their work, this too-soon-
abandoned project gave paintings water col
ors and murals of rare beauty to public build
ings throughout the land. These works may
never md their way into famous collections.
But they are adding Joy to the lives of mil
lions of people who never get inside a gall

SECURITY DEPENDS ON FAITH

IT is a shocking thing that seems 70 have
Il happened in Pennsylvania, where diph-
liberia scum on which human lives depended
was tempered with by men in charge of its
distribution
According 20 charges made by state Off
Gals. a laboratory expert and healtl. depart
ment expert took a quantity Of two-year-old
serum changed the dates TO make u appear
fresh. and distributed It TO drug stores and
dispensaries.
Shortly before Christmas little boy con-
tracted diphtheris. HIS doctor gave him in
iections which should have saved him-but
the serum failed 10 work and he died
The doctor then complained that the serum
was vsIueless. and in the investigation which
followed. the miSdating was discovered.
An affair Of this kind is a tragic reminder
o. the way in which. living in a complex social
order. We are all at Tire mercy Of specialists
and teohnioians whose integrity and skill We
have TO take or faith.
When YOU are exposed TO or infected by
such a disease as diphtheris. for instance. you
must Immediately place your life in the hands
Of men YOU never saw or heard of-the men
who prepared the life-saving serum. the men
who are responsible for testing it and diStrib-
utinC 1t.
Whether YOU live or die may depend on
whether they did their jobs properly.
Il speaks well for the general reliability Of
human beings that cases like this IN Penn
svlvania are so very rare. But the mere fact
that a slip-up can Occur IS evidence that peo-
pie who live in modern society are forever
al the mercy Of one another.
This is not confined simply to the field Of
medicine. Il IS true in al phases Of daily
scsf~t.v.
When YOU drive your car al 50-mlle clip.
YOU are betting your life that the men who
made the car did not scamp their Jobs and
present YOU with. say. a steering knuCkle that

YOU travel BY train YOU are putting yourself
IN the hands Of a whole host Of utter strangers

ike.
When YOU so up IN an office building Gle
va.cr you are assuming that the builders and
INSPECTORS have seen 10 It that the elevator IS
safe. When you eat IN a restaurant. you are
relying on the integrity Of many widely sep
arated men 70 assure you Of wholesome food.
And so il goes. Every day We stake our
lives on men OF whose very existence We are
apt 10 be ignorant complex society like
ours can operate in no other way.

EVEN CRIMINALS HAVE LIMITS

ONE Of the most significant passages in the
~ story telling how Bruno Eauptmann was
transferred to the death house in the New
Jersey State Prison was The paragraph de-
scrlbing the attitude Of the other convicts in
that prison upon his arrival
Hauptmann was led through the mess hall
as some 600 prisoners we're at breakfast. In
stantly they stood up to look at him. and a
chorus Of boos and catcalls resounded through
the hall
There could not be more striking evidence
Of the horror universally inspired by the
crime Of which Hauptmann has been con-
victed. Convicts in a state prison are not ex-
actly sensitive about such things.
But the kidnapping and murder of the Lind
bereh baby was a thing which outraged even
their sensibilities. 1t went beyond the limit,
even for the states most desperate criminals.

a few Of our progressive legislators
are trying to enact, the residents of
other states will not have a very
good opinion Of Hoosiers in general.
The first bill I have reference to
is the one banning liquor advertis-
ing in all newspaper and magazines
offered for sale in this state. Why
should few Of our legislators be so
narrow minded? This bill would
forbid the sale of the Saturday
Evening Post, the American and a
host of other good magazines and
newspapers simply because they
have liquor advertisements on their
pages.
Another bill presented strikes at
the poor mans stores, the chain
stores. A higher tax placed on the
chain stores naturally will increase
the price of their commodities, prices
that most people can not now pay I
agree with Mr.. Powell, who said in
his editorial that the proposed ad-
ditiOnal chain store tax was vi
cious piece Of legislation.
Why shouldn't dentists be able to
advertise as well as any one else?
They have a living to make.
1t seems as though our legislators
are thinking up these foolish bills
for want of some better way Of
earning their money. Thinking of
the welfare Of the people I sincerely
hope that these three bills are not
enacted. The only good law intro
duced so far was presented by a
level-headed woman legislator

TRYING WRONG CURE

DELAWARE legislators are reported on the
- verge OF passing a bill which would pro-
hibit public attendance at the foggings of
criminals.
The Legislators say that the state has re-
ceived unfavorable publicity lately because too
much attention has been focused on the whip
pings which are provided by the states crimi-
nal code.
Five youths recently were given from 10 to
20 lashes apiece in below-freezng weather,
and the general reaction has been unfavorable
The unfavorable reaction is easy to under
stand, but the remedy seems a trifle mixed
The theory back of punishment like hogging
is that 1t vii have deterrent effect. Con-
sequently, one would suppose, the more pub
hcity the Aogging received, the greater its eff
feet would be.
It might be more sensible to abolish the
hoggings altogether than to try merely to
abolish the publicity

BUS OPERATOR SUGGESTS
A REAL G. o. P. BOLT

BY Ward B. Hiner
I notice in an editorial that Rep.
H. H. Evans says the tax budget of
this state will increase the taxes
many millions of dollars. Now 1
hardly think this is fair to blame
this solely on the Democrats, and
for Mr.. Evans information and the
general tax paying public, will call
your attention to the Legislature in
session in 1925 when % or "a (moSt-
ly patriotic Democrats and a couple
Of patriotic Republicans refused to
be hog-tied and have the peoples
rights over-ruled and they char
tered a bus and left the state OF
Indiana for a few days and forced
the Republican majority, which was
drunk with power, to determine
policy of equality, honesty and fair
ness to the people before they re-
turned from Columbus, O., where
they went on a vacation for few
days while the Republicans who
were then in power, came to their
senses.
Now I don't know of any law that
will prevent this Republican caucus,
which could break quorum in the
House of Representatives any time
by doing its duty in behalf of the
people, and if any of these laws
were being passed, don't forget that
the Republicans are contributing to
the passing of these laws by not
standing for justice and taking a
vacation for a few days to the state
of Ohio, Illinois or some other
bordering state.
Now will they stand for justice Oh
will they coincide for their own
political benefit and make politics
out of this Legislature?
BY the way, I furnished the bus
transportation to these gentlemen
who went to Ohio at that time and
I believe that transportation could
be arranged again for the same
purpose if the Democrats insist upon
increasing taxes instead Of decreaS-
ing them, so let's have the blame
fall where is belongs and not make
a political scene out of the matter
for political purposes only. Bear in
mind, if taxes are raised, the Re
publicans have contributed by aid
ing when they have the power to
prevent it as they now have.
