ROOSEVELT AND RAILROADS

president ROOSEVELT did well to in
L clude in his must" program for this Con-
gress legislation designed to improve the
status of our transportation system"
In his Sunday night talk he urged measures
to strengthen the merchant marine ard air
transport He pointed to the need of regulat-
ing the railways competitors on water and
highway. He stressed the necessity of en-
towering the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to carry out a rounded conception OF the
national transportation system in which the
benefits of private ownership are retained
while the public STAKE in these important serv
ices is protected by the public's government"
This is a general White House Endorsement
of the Eastman program now before Congress
That would enlarge the ICC, creating special
divisions for regulating motor carriers, airways
waterways and pipelines; make permanent
and enlarge the powers of the Co-ordinator of
Transportation to include planning, waste
elimination of rail investors by "piratical re-
organizers"
Pending also is the favorably reported
Wheeler resolution to investigate those
scandalous chapters in American boom finance
that relate to rail reorganization" This is
important.
1t is obvious the American railroads can
not continue to live hand-to-mouth existence.
They must refund their staggering debt of 800
million dollars. They must cut out the waste
of duplicating lines without making the work.
ers take the brunt of coordination. They must
increase their revenues. without driving bust
ness into the arms of their competitors. They
must restore the shaken confidence of the in
vesting public. They must modernize and
ratonalize their lines and retire their obsolete
equipment
There are three open ways for the railways
One is the dangerous track that has all but
wrecked them so far. Another is the track
toward government ownership. A third is the
way of strict and co-ordnated government reg
ulation as proposed by the Eastman program.
The President has thrown the switch to this
Eastman track as the safest way for both the
railroads and the public. If this fails, then
government ownership probably will follow al
most automatically.

FORECASTS ONE MORE
INITIATION FLING
BY A Times Reader.

By Times Reader.
1t is inconceivabIe that American
capitalism will go down without one
more fling at initiation.
Like a drunkard, capitalism con-
tinuously must drink heavily at the
fountain of imitation to get what
the mob calls good times. The SOD
ering up period is the period of
writing OF the high ball of expand
ing oebt and oyereXpansion that
develops from the profit system Of
production.
All previous depressions provided
a period Of new initiation, after the
previous initiation had thorough
dry cleaning Of those who were fool
ish enough to borrow money during
the inflationary period. A new crop
Of Simple Simons creates the new
inflationary debt structure that rep
reSentS the booking profits Of cap
italism. It's just like getting drunk
on new wine, with long hangover.
This is what the American people
want and what they prefer to call
the American way. The more sense
less, the better they like it.
1t is not goods" they really want.
1t is that feeling Of exhilaration
which comes from bookkeeping
profits that always evaporate, be-
cause the goods can never be worth
move than the social value they
possess. But we must hit the bot
tie CT initiation again and take an
other puff on the opium pipe for an
other prosperity nightmare. \
It ought TO last until 1871, then
We ought to take the Kee)ey cure

Urges Crime Study IN U. S. Schools

3. M. G., by some sort of per-
verse logic, has reached the con-
clusion that Haywood Brouns
plea that all types Of government
be studied in the colleges also
urged that prostitution, bank rob-
berry and gambling be taught in
the schools.
I believe that there could be no
better place for the study of crime
than in the schools. If the
schools taught more scientifically
the methods and effects of crime
there would be less crime. Too
often a sucker learns that bank
robbery or gambling is a tough
racket with little reward. His
teachers could have been able to
tell him that without the pain of
confinement in a restricted area
behind bars.
The home generally is a poor
place to learn anything. Parents
are either afraid or do not have
the ability to nationally counsel
their young. The classroom is a
place for all knowledge, even bank
robbery and MarXianism.
We would be a pretty lopsided
lot If we knew nothing of any
form of government but Commun-
ism. The same is true If we know
no other political philosophy but
capitalism. AS free people we
should have the opportunity thrust
upon us to study all types Of gov
eminent and all types Of life. Only
when we have an opportunity to
really select can we be blamed, if
at all, for our mode of living or
government.

STAMP OUT DIPHTHERIA

"CHILD Health Week" opens tomorrow and
~ indianapolis parents should do their
share by immunizing their children against
diphtheria.
For the slogan which has been adopted
nationally this year to mark Child Health
Week" is "Immunizs Now-stamp Out Diph-
liberia"
No finer movement has ever been started
than this drive to make Americas children
safe from the dread disease that strikes chill
dren between the ages of and 5.
Deaths from diphtheria in Indiana were
reduced from l48 in 1888 to 12O in 1884, the
decrease undoubtedly being due to statewide
immunlzaton program.
Parents are urged to take their children to
the doctor for diphtheria innoculation as soon
as they are old enough-usually after they
have passed the age of months.
In this edition of The Times is an article
by Dr. Thurman B. Rice, urging all parents to
cooperate in this campaign to do away with
the fearful disease. +. mothers and fathers
will do well to take DR.. Rices advice.
Dollars or lives, which shall it be? To
have your child immunized costs few dol
lars. To build up immunization by the natural
progress costs lives, childrens lives"
That statement comes from DR.. Verne K.
Harvey, director Of the Indiana division of
Public Health and it can well be taken to heart
as one of the sanest utterances of 1885.
Immunize your child E. and stamp out
diphtheria.

One B. M. G.. in the Message

idea that any one against war is

the sinking ideas of hallelujah

men into mass suicide in the name
Of loyalty.
The traditions Of the United

by greedy pioneers who had little
thought for the welfare of pos

wrecked the economic structure

POLICE CAR ACCIDENT
AROUSES PASSERBY
By Passerby.

By Passerby.
How can citizens Of Indianapolis
be expected to take the present traf-
fic safety drive as seriously as it
should be, when police themselves,
on duty in the squad cars paid for
with taxpayers money, are guilty
of reckless and careless driving?
Just a few minutes ago while I
was waiting for a street car at the
corner Of Kentucky and Capitol-avs
and Maryland-st I saw squad car
with two officers in it crash into an
other car which was waiting for the
traffic signal to change. The police
man driving the car seemed to be
more interested in waving to the
traffic man on duty at the corner
than he was in diving his car, for

FOUND: ANOTHER FOE
OF TRUSTEE HOHLT

BY A. M. T.
The question of immortality oc-
casionally strikes out in every po-
litical battle, so that it is not I'M
usual that Mr.. Hohlt, politician,
should attempt to make political
capital of alleged immortality at
Southport High School.
AS a matter of fact, as every par
ent knows, there is some immoral
ity in every educational institute at
tended by adolescents. No disci-
pine is able to curb all immortality
among the human race, much less
adoleScents who are governed by
their emotions more than mature
individuals.
Mr.. Hohlt has seized upon an OBJ
scure issue to defend his deplorable
position in ousting an able man as
principal of the high school. Mr..
Hohlt as trustee might as we'll in
vestigate immortality among the tax
payers as among the high school
pupils.
anu GSdC1IClo WILL say ClldO 4IIliIiO-
rality is a constant problem which
can never be cured entirely, how
ever model the community or asso-
ciates.
You will notice that Mr.. Hohlt has
no more excuse than basketball ard
immortality for the proposed dis
charge of men and women who have
served their community well and
long.

HERE'S ONE READER WHO
THINKS CHIEFS RIGHT
BY @. p.

BY @. P.
For the life of me can't figure
out why all the raps are being di-
rected at Chief Mike Morrissey in
this bookie row. 1t strikes me that
Chief Morrissey is attempting to
do the job in a straight-hitting way.
In the first place, his vice squad
is pretty good idea. I think that
a crew of policemen working on one
thing-and one thing only ought
to be able to do a pretty good job
of hopping up.
And in the second place, why all
the Juror against the chief for try
ing to suppress the bookies? It's
the law, isn't it, and isn't he only
trying to enforce it? The legisla-
ture, it would seem, is the gang
which ought to take the heat.
