Returning life, my eye. This is the

Now that the time has come to
buy more salt to keep up the CULVER

beneficiaries are up in arms when
the President asks them to chip in
on a little more salt. The Admin
istration should not tax large for
tunes. Instead the tax should be
put or doles, hitch mixers, potter
fields and breadlines, and every
alphabetical agency that is engaged
in distributing purchasing power
among their customers should be
stopped functioning for a while and
see if they wouldn't be bowling a
little more in earnest soon.

UNETHICAL PRACTICES ARE
SCORED BY READER
BY a Times Reader

BY Times Reader
AS required reading for officials
would recommend the impressive
book, 1.-The Thousand Public Enc
miles," which describes the results
Of unethical practices in local law
enforcement groups.
The author of the book says that
the time will come when the Fed
eral government will have the pow
er to step in and investigate any
maladministration of criminal JUS
tice on the part of local authorities.
The new Federal crime laws were
necessitated by the laXity of local
courts in allowing desperate Grim
inals their freedom either by indif-
ference or corruption, according to
this book.
The Indianapolis Bar Association
could well read the authors bitter
denunciation of lawyers who either
engage in unethical criminal prac-
tees or stand by indifferently in the
knowledge that ethics of their pro-
fession and even laws are violated
by their colleagues.

Immediately chirned in and veri-
fled this strange fact.
Another item of news to the ma
tives up north was that the first
man saw another COW waving sea
moss from her udder. He claims
that they stick their heads below
the waves to get the moss and in
cidentally this same moss catches
on their udders. Even crabs hang
on this moss and turtles sometimes
get their food from the COWS while
they are after the moss. Some of
the willy natives sort of doubt the
reports from the far South. 1t
seems that the fact this chap claims
to have been shown the sites of a
coast town in Florida by the mayor
makes them doubt the accuracy of
these reports. Some seem to be-
lieve his imagination was bit over
active. At any rate this chap has
brought life to his home town by
arousing them to the outside world
and its points of interest.

BELIEVES CITY SHOULD
AID HOSPITAL

By ]. o. B.
l read with considerable surprise
that the city administration is ap-
parently making no effort to pro-
vide for the maintenance of the new
Flower Mission Memorial Hospital
now being built.
While it is evident that the city is
in dire financial straits, think that
the least the city fathers could do
would be to give the hospital prob
lem serious consideration.
The city is not bonded up to its
debt limit Maybe that small mar
gin could be used. Private charities
should be contacted and urged to
help in this matter.
Legal question or no legal ques-
ton, it is going to be hard to ex-
plain to the sick people of Indian
apolis why this city can spend
S33,50O TO build a West Side park
and still not have enough money
to run a needed tuberculosis sani-
tarium.

A BETTER COAL BILL

IRON the consumers viewpoint the House
l. Ways and Means subcommittee has so
greatly improved the Guffey-Snyder soft coal
control bill that it is difficult to see wherein
Congress can find fault.
The original bill provided Bituminous
Coal Commission of nine members, two from
the industry, two from labor and five repre-
senting the public. The bill now proposes
commission of five, all spokesman for the
public. This change from a'large, cumbersome,
bipartisan commission is in the interest both
of economy and consumer protection.
Another bulwark is the proposed creation
in the Interior Department of a Consumers
Counsel. This official would be appointed by
the President, subject to Senate confirmation,
and would be authorized to conduct invest-
cations independent of the commission into
any phase of the industry affecting coal users.
These two changes meet one of the main
objections voiced against the bill. This was
that mine owners and mine labor might con-
spire to ehrich themselves at the consumers
expense.
The rewritten bill is weaker from the con-
servationists' viewpoint. The subcommittee
deleted and consigned for future study pro-
posal to retire submargnal mines by Federal
purchase, financed by tonnage tax on mined
coal. This project, urged by the National Re-
sources Board, is in the interest of long-range
planning Just as submarginal farm land must
be retired, so must these uneconomic mines be
taken from competition. They contribute more
than any other factor to the chaos in coal.
There remains now the objection that the
Guffey-Snyder bill is unconstitutional. This
can be left to the courts. The measure is
sincere attempt to meet the criticisms of NRA
laid down in the Schechter decision.

By A. M. H.
From California, land of NOV
les, nuts and sunshine, comes
word of a young scientist with a
brilliant remedy for the relief
problem. He would simply freeze
all the unemployed until such
time as business may find work
for them.
The business leader could (when
he felt like IT'D send an order to
the icebox for 10 macninists and
two advertising men. The file
clerk would look down the lines
of frozen feet, pick out the speci-
mems and warm them up for the
boss.
The idea has its alluring
aspects. Any malcontents who
dared asked for higher wages or
go on strike would be shipped off
to the iceboX to cool off. Those
who mentioned any such revolu-
tionary words as social welfare"
would be frozen out.
Of course there would be no
responsibility on the employer TO
go to the icebox and take out
quota of stiffs. Should he find
that he could get along with
fewer employees, the employer
could forget that there ever was

THE WEEK OF THE WIND-UP

ZONES now the final week Of the congress

lawmakers compromise issues on which they

1t is week in which the petty tricks Of
oppositionists can scuttle measures that are
the results of months of thoughtful considera-
ton and revision, in which the long tongues
of hlibusterers can thwart the will Of the ma

on the public get in their strongest ticks.

FEARS SECURITY BILL
MAY GIVE FALSE VIEW

BY H. L. Seeger
The signing of the security bill
by the President may give the
American people false sense of
security. The cost of providing for
the so-called security must be pro-
vided by the workers. Additions
made to the fund by employers
must, of course, be charged into
operating expense and the workers
as consumers will pay again as they
buy the products.
The real cause of the plight of
the workers in industry comes from
their failure to secure an adequate
portion of the goods they produce
while engaged in production. They
produce more than they are per-
mitted to consume. Their wages
are inadequate to command deliv-
cry of the goods they have created.
Therefore, we have regular periods
of recurring depression, so-called,
because the surplus produced by la
Dor has not been consumed, but has
accumulated, so that labor must
stop production; be laid off and stop
consuming.
Taking out of the already def
cient pay envelope more immediate
purchasing power and doing it reg
uIarly should bring on the need for
the use of what has been held back
that much sooner.
The security funds must be in
vested instead of becoming immedi-
ate consuming power. Here lies the
folly in the security plan. Secur-
ity can only be had if industry can
be forced by law to operate, for
social use, instead Of closing down
at will to save profits.

PROTESTS ADDITIONS TO
CITY POLICE FORCE

By Daily Reader
1t has come to my attention in
The Times that the chief has asked
for 100 more police. If he would
not issue orders for them to go into
certain places only and let them do
police duty as they should, he could
reduce his force by 100 men. There
are so many police now they are
hiding from each other, as one-half
does the work for the other half.
We as taxpayers protest against
the unnecessary increase as we are
burdened with too many unjust
taxes.

EXILE
BY EUGENE RICHART

BY EUGENE RICHART
I am so weary of this land
OF barriers on every hand
OF shadows I have loved too much,
And followed far, but could not
touch.
Always, in this land, things I see
And long for, are eluding me.
I am as alien as star
AS absolute, as singular
Perhaps less real TO one l love
Than any dream, than star above.
I stand unutterably alone.
And can not scale this wall OF

No Hcadwork Displayed

The Little Reds lost to Lancaster
St. Mary's, Sunday at the local ar
mory, % to II.
Hoch, right guard of the Ian
caster team was allowed to run
wild, being left absolutely un-
guarded during the whole game,
thus scoring IA points, due to the
ragged playing of the local eighth
grade, who displayed no headwork
to build up a defense against one
man who alone was accountable for
defeating the local team, two sub
stitutions being made TO stem the
food of baskets from Hoch, neith-
er substitute following out his or
ders from the bench, but taking his
place at center floor, leaving Hoch
unguarded. If the McConnelsville
guard, standing in front of Hoch
all the tins, although Hoch was
not his man, would have used some
headWOrk and moved back even
with him, lie would have been in a
position to get possession of the
ball, and have stopped up the hole
In the opinion of the writer,
Hoch does not deserve the credit
his scoring would indicate, as it is
not very difficult to score when a
man is not guarded There was no
reasonable excuse for the local
team losing the game--nothing but
lack of a good. sensible. calm floor
leader to direct the team and hold
them together-lack of headwork.
