PLANNED ECONOMY

BY BERTRAND H. SMELL
Representative From New York.
THE well-defned purpose of
i all the important New Deal
legislation since the Inaugural
ton Of the President has been to
eliminate the element of private re-
sourcefulness and to have the gov
eminent assume the function here
tofore carried on by private enter
prise and exercised by the individ-
ual. -- 81 ~
That legislation, collectively
known as planned economy" at
tempts to place a whole people in
lock-step and deny to the individual
the right to exercise his own judg-
ment and resourcefulness in the
management of his own business,
farm or factory, -5-zsss .4re e..
It would reduce every citizen to
the status of an automaton-tak-
ing orders from a government bu-
reaucrat, neither elected by nor ac-
countable to the people.

So Saladine left messages for old

stood together, shoulders almost
touching, to watch him go. He
turned up the road toward the ridge
again, and looked back and saw
their hands lift in a gesture Of fare

toward the house that was to be
their home.
The farm was far below him; and
beyond 1t lay the sweep and love-
liness Of Hostile Valley. 1t was not
easy, on such day as this to un-
derstand how the place had come

on that night in June, now months
past, Saladine departed after his
first coming here, he had gone at
full speed. like one pursued. But
today he drove slowly, reluctant to
leave the pleasant scene and these
friendly folk behind.

BRAIN OF MAN

British Scientist,


0F ALL the wonders of the
~ universe of which we have
present knowledge, from the
electron to the atom, from the virus
and bacillus to the oak and the ele-
plant, from the tiniest meteor to
the most magnificent nebula, surely
there is nothing to surpass the brain
of man. -
An instrument capable of con-
trolling every thought and action of
the human body, the most intricate
and efficient piece of mechanism
ever devised; of piercing the secrets
and defining the laws Of nature; Of
recording and recalling every adj
venture Of the individual from his
cradle to his grave; of inspiring or
of ruling great masses of mankind;
of producing all the gems Of speech
and song, of poetry and art, that
adorn the world, all the thoughts of
philosophy and all the triumphs of
imagination and insight; it is in
deed the greatest marvel Of all.

CHAPTER xIIl-Continued

-tS-
There was in him no immediate
intention to do this. His first ex-
perience of Hostile Valley had not
been of a sort to attract him to that
gloomy place again; yet If Bart.
and Zeke and Hubby were gone. q.
He thought of Jenny and Will and
of Marin Pierce with pleasure; and
when the next day proved fine and
fair, and the blue hills were beck
Oning, he yielded to sudden i'm
pulse, climbed into his old car, and
set out along the remembered way.
Saladine turned into the farm
yard, and stopped the car, and a
man at work with an ak in the shed
ceased his labors and came to the
door. But this was not Zeke Dace
Here was Will. He recognized Sala-
dine and dropped the ak and came
swiftly out into the sun. His smile
was broad, and there was welcome
in his eye. Saladine looked at this
tall blond giant with hair like flax,
and steady eyes Of deep blue like
the sky at dusk; and he slipped to
the ground, and their hands clasped
hard.
"Come fishing again, did you"
Will asked, with chuckle. Don't
see no rodp' r.. /
mo, just come to pass the time
Of day." Saladine told him. "How
are you, Will? Yo're looking fine!"
81 am" said Will. II am full
fine!" Then his eyes swung to one
side, toward the house, and Sala-
dine saw Jenny in the kitchen door.
She had plate and a dish towel
in her hands, and contentment in
her countenance; and as they went
toward her she smiled, and put the
plate and towel down and came
swiftly to meet them.
So these three stayed there to-
gether on the summed step of the
porch for a while. Saladfne asked
after Marin Pierce, and Jenny's eye
twinkled, and Will said:
"She's busy breaking Win to
bride now 70
Il thought she got too much sat
isfaction out of her row with him
ever to make 1t up," Saladine sug-
gested, amused.
1t was Jenny who explained, her
eyes gentle. "She just did it SOS I
could marry Will and not have to
worry about her." she confessed.
"She wouldn't hear to moving up
here; lowed If she was pulled up
by the roots she'd just wither and
die. And she said new married
folks had ought to be by themselves
till they got broke to double har-
ness, anyway. But I couldn't bear
to think of her living there alone ;
so she sent for Uncle Win and
talked him into coming back there
to live, and now she's having as
much fun out of making him do her
bidding as she did before out of
fighting with him!"
81 hear he's quit drinking" Sala-
dine suggested. Will guffawed; and
Jenny nodded, laughing softly too.
"She put something into his rum
she said. "It made him terrible
sick, and he let on that she'd
killed him, and she said she'd
kill or cure - She added contented-

PICTURESQUE Finly H, Gray that frock-coated
long haired Hoosier congressman who now Car
ries on the tradition OF being the tall sycamore from
the Wabash has returned for the session still ad-
vocatng his remedy for the country's ills.
1t is this:
Let Congress assume the power to coin and reg
ulate money bestowed on it under the Constitution"
According to Mr.. Gray. this is one constitutional
mandate that has been carried out and at the
present time the job is being done by two other
feows"-private bankers and the executive branch
of the government.
Meanwhile Congress stands by like bound boy
at -shucking and the fight between the bank

and renowned this exercise of power, transferring
it to private banking corporations These banks
have no more Federal character than blacksmith

OTHER OPINION
Trick of Economics
IGary Post Tribune1

A dispatch from Washington
hints that the Townsend plan may
be toned down somewhat to meet
the criticisms that have been leveled
against it.
It's sales tax features may be
modified; and this, says the dis
patch, is because economists have
pointed out that 10 per cent of the
people of America have incomes
providing them with the bare neces-
sites of life, and so could not af-
ford such a tax burden.
This bit of statistics may be a
useful warming for Townsendites, but
it also cuts both ways. For if 10
per cent of our citizens can just
barely meet the daily bills of grocer
and landlord, it is pretty easy to
understand just why so many peo-
pie want the Townsend plan.
The one sure way to quiet this
clamor for universal old-age pen
sions would be to raise the incomes
of the masses SO that they could
provide for old age themselves.
And that trick. unfortunately, is
easier to outline than to perform.

TOKYO. PLEASE NOTE

CENATOR KEY PITTMAN wants the country to
~ know that reports of his speech in Las Vegas,
New, greatly exaggerated.
Instead of delivering jingoistic warning of the
imminence of japanese invasion and attempted con-
quest of this continent the Senate Foreign Relations
Chairman now declares he merely discussed the
ASiatic and Western Pacific aspirations Of japanese
militarstS and observed that lin the course of time
if the aspirations continue lit is not beyond the
realm of possibility that the United States would
be called upon at some time to take action to pro-
ect its citizens and those people depending upon this
government for protection"
This is a much less violent version, and, whether
it be correction, revision or an afterthought let
it be entered into the record Unlike the first ver-
sion it should not disturb the goodwill existing be-
tween the japanese and American peoples.

MAKE 1886 SAFER

TINE highway death of Minnesotas blind Senator
Thomas D. Schall the Virginia tragedy in which
IA auto bus passengers plunged to their death
in the Appomattox, the many other automobile
casualties that have cast shadows athwart the ho-
day season, remind America of an imperative social
duty hardly begun. This is to abate the terrible
harvest of preventabe deaths on the highways.
This country has a proud record for the
saving of human life. We have all but conquered
most of the great epidemic kilers-typhod, scarlet
fever, diphtheria The railroads and sea lanes are
almost secure against the results of human
lessness. Industrial accidents yearly become less.
Gangsterism is feeling the hard hand of the law in
most cities But the highways and streets continue
to be turned into SHAMELESS Last year $4,000 persons
were killed by automobiles.
An aroused public opinion can mitigate this
carnage. President Roosevelt has appointed
mittee under Secretary of Commerce Roper and
Senator A. Harry Moore of New Jersey to make
national study in the interest of safer streets and
highways.
The Readers Digest has circulated millions of its
starkly realistic picture of the situation, And Sud-
den Death" and in it's January issue will show how
some cities have cut their auto death rates by in
telgent regulations and strict enforcement
Milwaukee for instance, has done this to such
extent that if the entire nation had worked
efficiently 22800 people killed last year would be alive
today.
LET u.s." says President Roosevelt in message
to the Digest but work to make the New Year safer
and it will be safer. Pledging ourselves, and our
families to avoid carelessness dscourtesy and reck
lessness on highways, we can put stop to
thousands of sudden Deaths

THE INCOME TAX RULING

EVEN alimony received by Indiana persons from
~ residents of other states must be reported
taxable income according to the ruling of the Gross
Income Tax Division. That puts point upon the
income tax in the state Individuals resident for the
past three years and deriving income from other
states from whatever source, will have to dig up.
Corporations doing business in other states al
ready have qualified under the law. The ruling by
the division on the income Of individuals will make
large number of Indianans appreciate what taxation
means
Investment of funds beyond the borders of In
diana has been common for years The proceeds
have been taxed elsewhere. Now they will be taxed
in Indiana under the gross income tax law.
Because Indiana is "pay-as-you- state and
can not bonds taxes for current expenses are
necessarily high 1t is to be hoped that it does not
find itself in the same bracket with Wisconsin, from
which number of industries have fed because OF
taxes considered excessive.

SponSible for all merchandise in her
Department.. Several boys were
loafing in the store. One boy left
the store, picking up an expensive
box of candy without paying for it
as he departed.
My hero said to him, "Hey, you
can't do that" and gave chase, but
on overtaking the thief was re-
warded with stiff right in the eye,
which resulted in a sinner and the
escape of the culprit. Did the store
owner appreciate this boys efforts
TO save his mothers wage? No, but
offered to split the loss with her
She only had to lose half of it-and
the boy? He says, Never again."
I say the boy is right in his reso-
luton and my idea in writing this
is to remind all employers of both
men and women especially women
who support children, that there
may be a hereafter even though it
is previous to death. Don't make
them wait for their reward in
Heaven. The deed may be over
looked.
These two children lived in my
home for three years, their board
being paid by their mother. I can
supply names and proof to any one
of every WOr0 of this.
