BY Emmett J. Foley, Columbus, Ind.
For the last few days I have
been reading Gen. JohnSon's
column in The Times. I have tried
to maintain an open-minded neu-
trality in this unfortunate waste
Of words between Father Cough
lin and Gen. Johnson, but just
why the general should so repeat
edly bring religion into the debate
is beyond me.
He accuses Father Coughlin of
using the mystery of religion to
give weight to his arguments. Now
I have heard all of Father Cough
Inns radio addresses, and I must
say that he has not used religion
as often as the general himself. If
the general would read more and
write less he would be better in
formed. Were his mind not so
abortive he could readily see that
using religion would be a very
great handicap to Father Cough
lin because, believe it or not, most
of Father Coughlin's followers
and admirers are men and women
not of his faith.
If the general doubts that let
him come down off his phantom

GOSSIP
BY X. HILL

How prone we are to carry,
Our feelings on our sleeve;
Watching, waiting for the blow,
That gives us cause to grieve.
And so we all are guilty,
Of saying things sometimes;
That's mean and vile and dirty,
With selfish sly designs.
Whisper ugly sinister things,
With malice in our soul;
That bring disgrace and torment
For revenge is our goal.
Oh, the pain and Misty,
The anguish and despair;
OF lives manned and ruined,
In gossips grim warfare.
Could we but see and picture,
Our own Satanic roles,
The shame would burn and blister,
And scar our very souls.

declared. The elimination of pri-
Vate defense counsel will strike at
the very root of our crime prob

Destroy the vicious influence of
the lawyer-criminal and organized
crime will be reduced. Substitute
honest state defenders for crooked
private lawyers and the crime
wave will diminish.
Take from the racKeteer the
protection of his 'mouthpiece' (of-

the working man. He referred in
ferentially TO that class of residents
which pays no taxes whatsoever,
and whereas they could have been
made to pay on food, the eXemp-
ton clause forbids this. He believes
| the exemption works an injustice
and a hardship on merchants and
stated there would be an eXpendi-
ture OF nearly S60O,000 necessary to
provide an adequate auditing and
inspecting staff TO supervise this
particular law.
The senator referred TO the So
called auto in lieu bill, whereby
taxation of automobiles was taken
over by the state instead of being
taxed by the cities and counties as
formerly. AS drawn Senator Hulse
opposed the bill which would have
given S26,000,000 to the state and
taken S14,0O0,0OO from the cities
and counties. He succeeded in hay-
ing it amended so that the state
will return to the cities and coun-
ties approximately the same amount
which they formerly received.
He was one of a committee OF
three which control the eXpedi-
ture of over S190,000000 and as
serted that neither the legislature
nor the governor has sufficient con-
troll over revenue and that provi-
sion for such control and power
must be made in the future to
avoid chaos.
Again referring to the destructive
forces in the assembly he declared
there were 26 radical bills intro
duced in the lower house, all Of
which were killed off by amend
ments in the senate.
while the legislature did not
accomplish a great deal OF construc-
tive legislation, it did kill off lot
of destructive legislation, and l
consider it one of the most success
full sessions in the history OF the
state" the senator said.
| He referred to the recently con-
cluded investigation OF the liquor
control by a senate committee. OF
which he was a member, and as
serted the results OF the inquiry
may be startling" to the people OF
the state.
In conclusion the senator eX-
pressed his appreciation to those
who had given up their evening TO
attend the welcome home ban
ouet and assured them that tEe
cordiality of their greeting more
than repaid for the hard work done
at Sacramento. -
J Walker Enjoyed Work
Assei511'c1.yman Walker asserted ne
thoroughly enjoyed the work at Sac
ramento and learned considerable
about modern politics in his flrsC
eyperience as a legislator.
Il find it difficult to get back IN

He asserted that functioning Ell

coming acquainted with other leg

number of new members, and the
presence of several old friends
among returning assemblymen. be
was able to make many acquaint-

The assemblyman gave an out
line of the usual days work at the
capitol and revealed that activity
in the recent legislature was no
easy job, with night sessions being
FREQUENT and at times extending
into the late morning hours.
He referred to the presence Of
the lobby and declared they were
not as pernicious as many persons
supposed, and added that he had
no difficulty with them.
