NEW DEAL WITH VENGEANCE

IN its report asking Congress for new powers
to deal with monopoly, the Federal Trade
Commission outlines program which would
make most of the existing New Deal policies
seem ultra conservative.
To prevent one corporation from obtaining
control over another by buying its stocks or
assets, or by merging; to give the commission
power to prohibit unfair business practices
in any case which might even affect" inter-
state commerce; to prohibit big corporations
from getting favorable purchasing terms
merely because of their size and to require
corporations to get rid of properties Illegally
acquired-here would be a new attitude toward
big business with vengeance!
Would public sentiment permit such a
change? 1t would be hard to say, offhand-
Certainly Congress will have to do some thor
ough canvassing of sentiment if it proposes
to act on these requests.

THE RED AND THE BLACK

ODDLY enough, it is the party which is in
~ power by the greatest majorities in re-
cent years that shows deficit in the party
finances.
Official statements filed with the House of
Representatives show the Republican party
to have surplus of S18476 as it enters the
new year. But the Democratic party owes
s529,282, and has only about $4,000 in cash on
hand to pay.
Thanks to recent contributions of $40 900
from members of the Mellon family and $4,000
from John D. Rockefeller, the G. O. P. starts
1885 from financial scratch, while the Demo-
Gratis must look forward to a heavy deficit as
they approach the 1886 campaign. They owe
more than 100000 to John Raskob alone.
These figures are interesting because they
show clearly whaG everybody knew anyway:
That when it comes to supporting the actual
machinery of parties, both lean heavily on
rich men who can make large contributions
to party funds.
Figures like these will set many to Won
dering whether the base of support of both
parties might not well be broadened.

whether the world Is gradually falling from
a past state Of grace, is pretty futile one.
The really important thing is that there is
plenty Of room for improvement in any case.
Whether spirituality has collapsed" and
whether conscience and intelligence have
declined" are not so important as the fact
that they aren't What they ought to be today,
and that they aren't what they must be if We
are to create the better world that everybody
is hoping for
For it is the improvement in conscience,
intelligence, and morality among individual
men that will create the real, permanent
progress Of the future
People are too apt these days to put faith
in a system" to believe that if this law
we're passed, that system adopted, the other
panacea administered. everything would be
all right.

PENALTY ON SIZE

ONE of the sorry tendencies of. pre-depres-
~ sion days was the effort of large COM
panieS TO become larger, to merge with allied
interests and with competitors, to grow and
spread until, as the insult empire did, to
threaten stockholders and the public gener-
ally with overwhelming disaster.
Very little, if anything, has yet been done
to avert such calamity. Only the lack of
funds. the depression itself, has succeeded in
slowing up this process.
But now Senator Wheeler of Montana
promises measure that may save American
business millions of dollars in losses, may
spread the profits of industry among more
businesses Of the same type, and prevent
single crash of immense proportions
Senator Wheeler's bill, if passed, would
put graduated tax on corporations; the
larger the capitalization, the higher the tax
With such penalty on hugeness, probably
business will find some workable means at
which its operations will be both safe and
profitable

Now this is worth listening to, for man

But was it so superior in 1909? The United

AL GOES PROHIBITIONIST

ONE Of many protests against the showing
- Of foreign movie called Ecstasy" came
direct to the White House from a fellow named
Alfred E. Smith.
He wanted the Government to prohibit its
exhibition on grounds of indecency since the
heroine is said to appear in the film with no
more clothes than she wore the day she was
born.
Now this Alfred E. Smith is the same AL
fred E. Smith who few years ago was pretty
much steamed UP because the Government
had prohibited people from drinking what
they chose to drink. Al was against prohibit
ton then. But he has no objections, it is
clear. to the Government prohibiting people
from seeing the movies they choose to see.
All of which proves that when it comes to
prohibition, ii all depends on whose toes are
stepped on, and which toes.

ident Hoover vetoed the bill to pay

those days we were real fellows and
when the war ended, we marched off

Since then these same men are

FIREMEN SET FAST
PACE ON FIRE CALL
By Leland P. Davis.

By Leland p. Davis.
Friday, Jan. 4, an article in your
paper stated that some neighbours
children reported a fire at my house
at 1924 North Alabama-st on the
evening of Jan. 3, and that I dis
regarded the warning and sent them
away. This remark was in error, or
there was a misunderstanding in
report of the reporter, or possibly
he wanted better story.
Mrs. Davis was at a neighbor's
house and my boy, James, 9, was
listening to the radio and I was
reading The Times at about 8
o'clock, when some one, who after
ward proved to be our Indianapolis
Star carrier, raped on the door and
then on the front window, and I
asked Jimmy to let his mother in.
He answered the door and called to
me that the house was on fire. I
was surprised and did not move at
once, but when he called to me the
second time, which was only mat
ter of two seconds, I Immediately
jumped up and ran outside, saw the
roof blazing and then called the
Fire Department and told them to
hurry, which they did.
My neighbors, as we'll as myself,
wish to state that the Fire Depart
ment came in a hurry and did a
fine job in putting out the IRE. and

PEGLER LAUDED FOR
WIT IN COLUMN

BY Dumb Dora.
I believe Westbrook Pegler was
the author of an article the other
night on the Townsend pension plan,
saying it would take care of every
one save the poor orphan.
1 am no finance wizard, just a
Dumb Dora, but certainly I think
this plan the shrewdest, cleverest
idea, both for the Government and
the people, I've ever heard Of. Why,
it would finance itself; even my
lame brain can figure that out. Why
a high tax?
Naturally, all other Federal pen
sions would be Cancelled. Retire
ment pensions in all branches of
civil and military service, annui-
ties to ex-Presidents' widows, ETC.,
and think, not with Pegler, of the
loafing children, but of the jobs, as
I am thinking of, for orphans and
all young worthwhile persons, Gre
ated by nice old couples with $500 a
month to be spent for care and Serv-
ice, travel expenses, hotels, chauf-
feurs, nurses, housekeepers, laun-
dry, etc. Every walk of life would
profit and yes, dear timorouS Gov
eminent Treasury, with all those big
open-mouthed Democratic robins to
feed, the tax walk of life would
profit the most, coming and going.
May I add that Mr.. Pegler's article
Jan. 9, in The Times, is superb
satire. Whether agree with him or
not, his wit is a gift and his style
flawless.

OFFICIALS SHOULD THINK
ABOUT NEXT ELECTION
By James McFalI,

BY James McFaII.
1t seems to me that when Gov.
McNutt was inaugurated he claimed
he wanted to sign an old-age pen
sion bill, and he did sign some
thing. Lately. it appears the party
is feeling more generous to the eX-
tent of exempting $500 property.
This is highly commendable, as
many with homes can not get work
But what of natives of this state
who have, for some years, resided
in other states, some of which re-
turned with the panic, stone broke;
others before the Hoover failure
with money spent here during the
panic. These are all born Hoosiers
and should be considered, as they
can not go elsewhere with the hope
of either job of pension. Would our
famous Governor badly assert these
people should be fed by charity, as
he did shortly after signing that
other old-age pension bill? I Won
der if our present officials will want
all Hoosiers to vote for them next
time. This is something to think
about.

Problems of the Aged

BY P. E. Dettra.
The Townsend old-age pension
idea is great. Old people should
have the best in their last few
years and have it without worry
or trouble. I hope in some way
this can be put across, because
if any one is worthy, these old
people are and my heart goes out
to them.
How can it be done? Where is
the money coming from? Accord
ing to President Roosevelt, our ma
tional income in 1884 was $35, 000,-
100000 and 2 per cent of that
would be $9OO,00O,00O just enough
to last two weeks, and a 2 per
cent sales tax would be lots less.
1t would take so per cent of our
national income to pay 5000 to
each person over so years. We
have a l per cent income tax in
this state, and yet all it produces
is $10,000,000. A sales tax, of
course, would be much less.
Take a man and wife who are
living on $40 month for years.
How are they going to spend $500
a month, and month after month,
unless they give it away? They
could go to Florida in the winter
and Atlantic City in summer, but
how could this help Indianapolis?
They say the old-age pension
will end the depression. I'm not
so sure, after all the things that
Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Roosevelt
have tried without doing any good.
If this would give us. prosperity,
why not give everybody 5000 a
month and have real prosperity

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY IS 1885.
COAXING PRIVATE CAPITAL

EINANCIERS and indUstrialists are lavish
l. in their praise of the new registration
rules announced by the Securities and Ex-
change Commission They say it will now be
easier for established corporations 70 get fresh
capital and to refund existing obligations, thus
reducing their fixed charges by calling in high
interest bends and offering low-interest issues
to the hungry securities market.
The investment market may not be quite
as hungry as some think, but we hope it is.
Chairman Kennedy of the commission esti-
mates that large portion Of the more than
three billion dollars in callable securities. now
quoted above the call price, can be refunded
at a saving to the corporations.
Rehnancing on such a vast scale would
greatly stimulate industry. pave the way for
new capital issues to finance plant moderniza-
ton and requirements. and thereby take up
much Of the slack in unemployment That is
what industrial leaders say they intend to do.
That is what the Administration and the tax
payers. weary of the heavy burden of caring for
the unemployed, hope they will do.
MOI do the simpler registration require
ments appear in any way to impair the effec-
bFELtoo u TIC 4AAoS
law has but one purpose-to compel the issuers
and underwriters to tell the truth about the
securities they offer to the public. 1t was in
evitable that the commission should find diff
Guilty in providing adequate protection to in
vestors without at the same time imposing
onerous responsibilities upon good-intentioned
corporations.
Experience has enabled the commission to
draw the line between new enterprises and
going concerns, and to make it easier for the
latter to conform to the law. Fortunately for
private industries and private investors, the
commission is composed of men who can be
trusted to apply the rule of reason without
yielding on principles.
Doubtless this same faith in the integrity
and reasonableness of the commission yester-
day guided the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee to restore the full budget allowance to
defray expenses of the commission next year.
1t is important to maintain this confidence in
the commission. President Roosevelt can help
to do this by choosing as a successor to Com
missioner Ferdinand Pecora some one who
can really fill his shoes.

such as we have never seen be-
fore.
How can they compel person
to spend 5000 a month? Have
couple of police behind each per-
son? How can they check on them?
These old folk are as human as
our politicians and police, and we
can't stop them from putting
their hands in the wrong pocket.
Can any one answer these ques-
tions correctly? 1 guess not. Lots
of answers will come in, no doubt,
but of the same type as I see ev-
cry day, just some for and some
against.
would like to see an organized
effort made to make the state pay
each person over go years $25 a
month and the Federal Govern
ment pay $25. This would be $50
to start. Man and wife would
get 500 month. They could
live fairly well on this.
Then the next effort would be
to reduce the age to so years or
even As. Why wait until one is
about dead to help him? Nobody
is putting a man Of IS to work
any more.
The McNutt program is to pay
all over IS years SIS per month,
and this bars them from any other
kind of relief. This is very I'M
just to the people of the state.
If the Townsend organization
wants to do something now so
these old people can eat without
being pushed around, put your eff
forts behind an old-age pension
bill that means something now,
and not in four or five years.

WE GROW OLDER

GONE of the influences that are affecting
- the future of the country are plain and
on the surface But some are hidden. and
move onward unseen.
One of the latter is this fact: We are get
ting older, not only as a nation, but as
mass of individuals. A recent report to the
Association of Life Insurance Presidents in
dicates that the present expectation of life is
60 years. That is Is years or so more than
it used to be.
From this President Thomas I. Parkinson,
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, drew
this conclusion:
Grave consequences involving the relation
of the individual to the state may follow the
transfer of the balance of voting power from
those under 40 to those over so. This tendency
is likely to be reflected in changed attitudes
toward spending and saving and, indeed, to-
ward individualism as distinguished from col
lectiviSm."
Already such change is seen. The wide
spread agitation for the Townsend old-age
pension plan is certainly the greatest political
demonstration of old people such that the
country has ever seen.
They will be a greater power in future
rather than a less as science gradually length
ems the life span, while the birth rate and I'M
migration continue to decline.
No one can tell just what effect this in
creasing dominance of old people will have;
all we know is that it is quietly and silently
taking place.

SOCIETY'S DEPENDENTS

ONE of the most startling things about Re-
~ lief Administrator Harry Hopkins recent
announcement of new policies in the field of
public relief is his declaration that fully $780,
600 of the men and women now being sup
ported by the Government must be classified
as "unemployables."
These are the people whose support is to be
turned back to the states and cities; the
physically and mentally unfit. the aged, the
lucklesS persons who will never again be able
to take their places among the wage-earners
of the Nation.
Every one has always known, of course,
that even the return of full prosperity would
not completely abolish our relief lists. But it
comes as a shock to know that the total of I'M
employables is so very high.
The revelation graphically emphasizes our
need for an inclusive old-age and health in
surance scheme broad enough to touch all
classes of society.

SPANISH AMERICAN WAR
DATES ARE RECALLED
Br william H. Collins.

By william H. Collins.
Truth crushed to earth shall rise
again." I wish to state few facts
pertaining to the Spanish american
war. When did it begin; when did
it end? How long did it last?
First, the battleship Maine was
blown up in Havana harbor, Feb. 10,
1898, with 266 lives lost. Second,
Congress declared war on April Is,
1898, declaring the existence Of such
war from and including April 81.
The response to President Nc
Kinley's call for $4,000 volunteers
was instant and complete. Also the
second call on May Is, for $4,000
additional volunteers.
The ranks of the regular Army
we're increased to the limits pro-
vided by the Act of April 26.
The enlisted force Of the Navy on
Aug. Is, when it reached its maxi
mum, numbered 24,123 men and ap-
prentices.
According to history, the first bat
tie of the war was the engagement
between American ships and Span
ish batteries at Matanzas, April q,
two days after the formal declara-
ton of war. Space viii not permit
complete details of important events,
which included Cuba, Puerto Rico.

WAR VETERANS URGED
TO FIGHT FOR BONUS
~ william P. Booker

BY william P. Booker.
When President Roosevelt went
into office, one of the first things he
did was cut World War veterans out
of the little sum they were getting
to balance the budget.
Very little did think on Nov. IA
1918, the day the American armies
marched from the front half
starved, dirty, sick and weak, that
they would have to wait 20 long
years for pay for the service-s1 a
day. There hasn't been President
since the World War who has done
one thing for US. AL that has been
