NOT RIGHT PLACE FOR
SENSE OF HUMOR

BY c. N. Cook, New Kensin gton, Pa.
1t takes years before man can
become a locomotive engineer, but
almost any one can get a license to
drive an auto. The politicians want
the license fees and the auto man
ufacturers want to sell the cars.
In some states, like Florida, a
driving license isn't even needed.
And now some states are reducing
the fees for the plates. In Georgia
you can get them for So, and it has
brought thousands of people from
other states where there is higher
fee. They get the plates by mail
President Roosevelt's two young
sons own high-priced cars and like
to make Whoopee in them. The
boys have been arrested often, Of
course, but how may of these up
per-claSs fiends go to jail?
1 myself have often wished I
could take a shot at some speed
maniac who just grazed by me on
the wings of crazy death and
grinned back as if to say: Where's
your sense Of humor?"

DEPLORES TACTICS OF
TERROR PURVEYORS
By Perry Rule, Bringhurst

By Perry Rule, Bringhurst
The spinning wheel, OK yoke,
wooden mole board pillow, and hand
reap hook were prime necessities
when the national Constitution was
written. Boundary lines of states
and territories then were far away
and were more difficult to reach
than are remote boundary lines of
the United States at present. Our
mail, telephone, telegraph, 1ranspor-
tation, airplane and radio system has
made the citizens of the United
States a truly allied people. Those
who are able to think reasonably
and logically are aware of the fact
that our interests are in accord, not
conflict, and that which is good for
the citizens on one side of the state
line is good for the citizens on the
other side.
Yet the old state rights stuff is
being capitalized by purveyors of
terror who are going about the
country shouting: People, do not
trust yourselves! You are much
dumber than the people were in
the wooden shoe, stone ak, and OK
yoke age. You lack common sense,
knowledge, and education possessed
by the fathers of 1900. You could
not know your present-day needs as
the fathers of the eighteenth CEN
fury could foresee them. 1t is sac
rilege to suggest that we should not
have 40 separate state unions dele
gated exclusive rights to legislate on
all questions of human rights and
social justice. National authority
in these matters should be minim-
lied or completely nullifed'
Let us have faith in the inteIli-
gence Of the masses of the Ameri-
can citizens and hope that they
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-11-12

will not be misled by the deliriums
of the antiques and that the Federal
basic law will from time to time
be amended and interpreted in the
light of the present-day needs, CIV
ing the FEDERAL government more
authority to protect and promote
the welfare of its citizens.

SHARP WORDS
BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY

BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY
Reigns silence now where once was
sound,
Majestic, wordless, and profound,
Sword tipped and sharp, the words
you cast
Which poisoned me with grief at
last.
Not even answer stings my tongue,
Harbor of songs once gaily sung,
Where once fire flashed is cold
instead.
Heart can not speak for love is
dead.

THE DEATH SENTENCE

TINE holding company battle will be fought all
over again at the next session of Congress.
Utility companies will try to have the death
sentence eliminated from the new act before it be-
effective.
A pamphlet just issued by the Committee Of
Public Utility Executives established in per-
manent headquarters at Washington, asserts:
in the next few months an enlightened public
opinion must determine whether or not this death
warrant upon private industry is to be executed
II the function OF government is to regulate industry
rather than TO destroy it compete with it, then
the present Public Utility Act must be modified
whether the act can stand the test of consti-
tutionality is open to serious doubt . 1t remains
for the people to demand regulation, not destruc-
ton OF one Of its most vital industries and to de-
mand that this threat to private ownership and
management OF all business be supplanted by
program of fair and reasonable regulation
HE length and bitterness of the fight in the last
session, and the closencss of some of the roll
calls apparently have suggested to utility men that
their chances for overthrowng the death sentence"
may be better in Congress than in the courts They
may hope that the immnence of election day will
make a difference among congressman who look
to utilities for campaign contributions
However, to amend the act in any important re-
spec utilities would have line up two-thirds of
each house Of Congress- enough to override a veto
And most Of the same men and women who approved
the act last session will be sitting next winter
When the battle reopens, the utility men will
have an additional disadvantage in the lobby -regu-
lating provision Of the act Before any of them
testiheS on the subject interviews any member of
Congress regarding it, he must file with the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission statement of
the fee he is receiving and his expenses
SEC is preparing to start prompt administration
of this section of the act and regulations covering

ONE POINT OF VIEW

EVEN if the labor saving ma
- chine were not the cause of the
depression, it ought to be abolished,
for to work at a dumb machine all
day makes us as dumb as the ma
chine. The machine kills the finest
qualities in man-love of home, love
of garden, love of our country,
love Of our leisurely dining, love of
the charm of conversation, love of
relaxation, love of freedom. love of
peace, love Of art, music, nature, lit
erature, love of spiritual comfort.
The machine kills everything that is
creative and beautiful within us.
The machine makes machines Of
us all.
Few Of us know anything about
real happiness. We work like ma
chine or at a machine all day.
When the time clock frees us from
Jail We bolt down our evening
meal and rush out to dance, movies
or cards. That isn't happiness.
That is false feeting amusement
only skin deep. 1t doesn't satisfy
the hearts craving for peace, con-
tentment and the creation of some
thing with our own hands.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-11-12

THAT reminds me of a story told
Il by another Indiana newspaper
man, Sid Whipple of the United
Press. 1t concerns an editor who
got down to the Office late one
morning to be confronted by empty
editorial columns which he had no
time and no inclination to fill He
had nothing written and nothing in
type. SO he seized the opposition
paper, clipped out a yard or so Of
editorial, and wrote at the top
Nov what does our esteemed con-
temporary mean by this?" And used
that for his editorial
This rapidly spreading use of
saddle horses suggests that some
smart operator corner the supply of
arnica.

.OUR friends on another Indiana
~ newspaper spell the word
height hight" and for curious
reason. The spelling is really me-
mortal. The founder had difficulty
with his spelling, not an uncommon
thing in those days. The composing
room would correct his errors. But
one thing he insisted upon. Height
was hight; and when they COR
rected it he would order them to
restore his version of the word
This happened so often that the
printers finally gave up and let him
have his way, Keeping the tradi-
ton is fine tribute to a great news
paper man and one of the few
things that editors do that live after
them.

MYTH pleasure I noted the pres
W ence in the city the other day
of James Eli Watson, the sage OF
Rushville. To me he always typified
the Indiana politician who reached
perfection in a time which now
seems remote. One Of the rowdier
papers of the state always referred
to him as Genial Jim Watson, the
Peoples Friend" Well, he was and
is genial; and he was the peoples
friend in the manner of his day.
That manner assumed that few
men in the state knew what was
good for the people and felt compe-
tent to ladle it out That the people
under this method were rapidly be-
coming Oliver twists was not ap-
parent to them.
Jim's geniality, however, was gen.
uine. He was among those the
newspaper men liked to be with at
conventions, committee meetings
and trips.

A J DIMOND. Delegate from Alaska
WASHINGTON, D. C.
February Is 1885

The committee on rivers and har- bors has adopted a motion that a bill authorizing surveys only at this time would be reported out of com mittee to the house This was decid- ed because there is a total of 250 bills for surveys, which if put thru individually would crowd the calen- dar. Ten of these bills are for har- Dor improvements in Alaska, listed
 as follows:
 II. J. Res. 16 authorizing survey
 of ship canal across Prince Wales Island.
 H. J. Res. 35 authorizing survey for improvements of Juneau liar Dor; 36 Bethel; 37 Haines; 38 Metla-
 katla; 39 Douglas; 93 Sitka; 137 Val dez; 163 Rake; 166 Unalaska. The following rivers and harbors projects have been surveyed and ap- proved by the chief of engineers and can be developed as soon as provision can be made for their financing: Wrangell Harbor Dry Pass
 Stikine River Kodiak Harbor Petersburg Harbor Egegik Harbor Sitka Harbor Nome Harbor CordoVa Harbor Seward Harbor Ordinarily action would be start ed on these by having the bill pass ed through the House and Senate and approved by the president, how ever, at the present time this is par
 ticularly difficult because of the ad-
 miniStration's reluctance to overrun the budget. It is possible that these projects can be included in the work of the $4,880,000,000 Emergency Re lief Appropriation when that has been enacted.
 Having aided in forming the de- Velopment plans for the colony in the Matanuska Valley, A A Shon- beck is leaving Washington tonight enroute to his home in Anchorage. The plans for the settlement are rap
 idly nearing completion but the funds therefor must be obtained from the Emergency Relief Appro- priation bill not in the senate, the same having passed the House some days ago.
 George Kennedy will known hard ware merchant of Anchorage is viS- iting in the Capitol City. The Delegate attended a meeting of the 1nterDepartmental Commit tee at which Dr. Phillip s. Smith of the Geological Survey talked, sum- marking the work done in Alaska and outlining the work still to be done. Dr. Smith stated that when the work of the Biological Survey
 was started in Alaska, the country even a few miles back from the
 main avenues of travel was practi-
 cally unknown, and even today only
 about one half of its nearly 600000
 square miles has it's physical feat

ures shown accurately on existing maps.
 Dr. Smith also showed that the urgent need of the Territory today is for reliable information as to the topography of Alaska, what miner al deposits of value may be found, and where and how they are best reached This information is needed by everyone interested in Alaska from the prospector to the capitalist as well as those engaged in air trans portation. The Geological Survey has met this need as far as it's re- sources permitted by mapping geo. logically and topographically on eX- ploratory standards the general fea- lures of some of the known min eral areas. However, the remain ing half of the territory is known to be at least partly mineralized and should be investigated for it's mineral resources, and a compre- hensive mapping program carried out
 Dr. Smith estimated that an outlay of about S6000,OO0 would furnish the present program of investigation and mapping on exploratory stand ards, and that if $2OO,O00 was now available to supplement the regular appropriation a good start on the work could be made.
