4. In the election of 1886 the
President will deserve great credit
for what he has only partly accom-
plished for labor and for industry
under the National Industrial Re-
covery Act. The voiding of NRA
has not ended the habit Of chaos
and disorder in these fields; it has
thrown the spotlight of new pub
lefty on them and the President
is seeking to reconstruct, AS we'll
as he can, under the states rights
limitations as imposed by the Con-
stitution and interpreted by the
Nine Young Men in Washington.
Briefly, what will Herbert Hoover
and his G. o. P. have to say in re-
ply? There will be speeches by the
billions of barrels telling how one
Abraham Lincoln once saved the
nation. Moreover, they're getting
ready now with buttons, billions of
them, to Save America" It's go
ing to be very simple in 1936--"Save
America on a button!

have only buttons to sfoot at the
Roosevelt ramparts, let them shoot

SISSIFIED LIQUOR

CAUGHT between tax-grabbing politicians
~ and proit-grabbing liquor makers, Indian
apolis dealers in the stronger variety of alco-
holc beverages are reverting to cutting, one of
the favorite practices in prohibition days.
The regulation Of the liquor traffic is
vexing problem, and will remain so unless it
is divorced completely from politics an end
that seems impossible of attainment.
Certainly the present situation in Indiana
liquor circles is not one conducive to unhappi-
ness among the drys. Back in the old saloon
DAYS, politics and the brewery owned GROCERY
were strong talking points for those who wish
to dictate what others drink.
The present situation is no better. Poll
ticisns, Selling upon the liquor business as
prolific source of taxes which go to pay the
salaries of the faithful" apparently have
overdone the job. The goose that lays the
golden egg isn't dead. but it's in bad way

WHAT PRICE JUVENILE COURTS?

A FEW pages apart IN yesterdays news
papers we're these stories:
Darrell Paul Jones. who has spent the last
four of his % years in the Indiana State Re-
formatory, is being hunted like a beast to be
returned 10 the institution from which he and
three other prisoners attempted to escape One
convict was slain; another wounded seriously
and the third captured.
The other story-the dispute over where a
Marion County Detention Home is to be built
continues with the ultimatum from Juvenile
Judge John F. Geckler that the home will be
built on the Courthouse lawn or he's through
with the whole matter.
While prisons and reformatores are being
filed with youthful criminals, juvenile courts
continue TO function at no little expense to
taxpayers 1t is indisputable that despite courts
set up especially to deal with youthful offenders
and the enlistment of an army of social
workers, an increasingly large number of
youths 60 behind the bars of penal institutions
What price juvenile courts? There should
be an answer.

LET'S KEEP Al 1T

TRANSFERRING 10 patrolmen to the traf-
Il &c departments motorcycle service to re-
new the drive against reckless motorists has
been announced by Chief Mike Morrissey.
Why indianapolis must wage its war on
speeders and reckless drivers in catch-as-
can-msnner is one of the many mysteries Of
modern day life.
Chief Morrissey and his men have done
in the past excellent work in combating speed
ing and the Safety Board should promptly
take whatever action is necessary to assure
constant crusade against those motorists who
seen TO have no regard for the lives Of chill
dren and pedestrians.
There should be no renewal Of safety
campaigns. There are children always grow
ing up. and indianapolis sooner or later must
decide that a constant war on wild drivers
is the one and only way 10 cut down traffic

of given criminal act, or to relate
that act to its punishment.

additional tax will neither balance
the budget, that is out of BALANCE
10 times that much, nor will it save
the credit of the country, as long
as the deficit continues at the pres
ent rate. Hurting business is one of
those spooky things dragged out to
frighten those who would and may
still believe that business knows
how to pull the country out of this
temporary depression.
The most important question to-
day is not the question of taxation;
that is mere bagatelle compared to
the real question facing both gov
eminent and industry and which
has to do with providing a purchas-
ing power of consumers. for the
products of industry. That question
will settle all the others. Without
this purchasing power, all the other
questions are already settled.
In fact, they are too well settled.
With four million families in the
nation equipped with SIC month
purchasing power, they have settled
the possibility Of a business revival.
Business might revive little if they
had $3.50 a month to spend. These
low purchase power families are
what is hurting business, not taxa
ton. Here is the goose that used
to lay the golden egg. It's dead.

Place the same out board motor

down, but there is just as much
noise and considerable wash or
waves, and this, if anything,
might be construed by some as a
hazard It is a fact that a heavy
motor boat which draws two or
three feet of water causes the roll
ing waves. However, there is no
craft on the river that can pos
sibly upset we'll made row boat
from its wash.
AS to noise we will all agree that
motors should be muffled in &C
cordance with the law; also that
a section of the river on the Raw
enswood side be roped off for
swimmers, but let them stay inside
that space. If the residents along
the river we're polled I'll wager you
would find most of them own a

If The Times knows of one case
of drowning in this section of
White River which can absolutely
be attributed to these so-called I'M
bearable, roaring monsters, this
writer would like for the editor to
bring it out. A drowning is usual
ly due to carelesSness or lack of
knowledge of the river on the part
of the victim.

THE RECORD"

THE Congressional Record, whose elastic
bulk Is always open to such tidbits as
Senator Longs recipe for pot lkker, devotes
six sentences to the House vote against the
so-cslled death sentence" for utilities hold
ing companies.
While the Scripps- Howard newspapers were
printing the names of those who voted, Con-
gress own daily publication contained this
eloquent commentary on anonymity in legis-
lation:
The chairman. The question is on the
amendment offered by the gentleman from
Iowa
The question was taken, and Mr.. Dunn
of Pennsylvania demanded a division.
Mr. Kvale. Mr.. Chairman, I demand
tellers'
"TeEers were ordered and Mr.. Eicher and
Mr.. Cooper of Ohio were appointed to act
as tellers.
The committee again divided. and the
teliers reported-Ayes l46. noes 2l6.
so the amendment was rejected"
That was all.

PREDICTS REELECTION OF
PRESIDENT ON MERITS
By Election Fan.

By Election Fan.
A year hence, July 4, 1896, the
presidential campaign will be on in
full blast. What will be President
RooSevelt's outsta ldlng achieve
ments that will keep him pre-emi-
nently the leading contender? AS
one who has gotten big kick out
of the 1916, 1920, 1923 and 1882
presidential campaigns, Id like to
make a prediction for 1886.
l. The President will be re-elect-
ed because he acted decisively, cou-
rageously and constructively in the
banking crisis of March, 1888.
There are some radical writer's who
believe that the President should
have taken over, in its entirety, TIE
banking system of the United States.
That he did not, attestS to his fair
ness.
2. In taking 100000 wild children
off the highways the President has
started the nucleus of a national
youth movement" that will gather
momentum with each year.
3. The President has brought the
farm population of the United
States out of the slough of despond
He and his Administration have
done something. The achievement
Of the Agricultural Adjustment Ac:
is incontrovertible. Being a gen.
tleman farmer himself. he took the
bull by both horns. True, the devil
is getting ready to quote the Con
.tion." and there's a possibility
that an "A" or two MAY be knocked
out by the Nine Young Men in
Washington, still America lives anC
the farmer has been saved. NO
body heard Herbert Hoover scream
| ing for the Constitution when young
