THE SILLY SEASON

THE legislative season seems to be in full
II blast under the hot skies Of Washington-
on-the- Potomac
Senator Borahs latest midsummer nights
dream probably is the most disquieting mani
festion of humidity's effect on the brain cells.
His must" program now includes Cd the
Frazier-Lemcke bill, to lift all mortgages off
the farmers farms by ref1nancing them with
inflated Federal money at IL per cent-a
move that doubtless would be followed by
similar demand from city home cwners-and
90 that hardy perennial of the reelection
season. the soldiers bonus. One might under
stand Mr.. Borah, whose gracious hospitality
seems to embrace all ideas from Karl Marx
to Harpo Marx. What amazes is that scores
of congressman have signed petitions to trot
these Borah-bIessed twins into the House
circus ring.
Then there is the House Ways and Means
Committees freak revenue bill that promises
everything but revenue. And the Tydings-
Mccormack bill, an in-Wonderland fan
taSy that reverses both history and logic by
setting out to protect the Army and Navy
against parphleteerS. And Honest Harold
Ickes' measure to change the name of his his
toric Interior Department and according to
some, effect the confiScation of Secretary Wal
iace's forest service. And the innocent-look-
ing Clark amendment that would all but kill
the old-age title Of the social security bill
And Mr.. Moritzs bill requiring every editorial
writer to proclaim Gin PRINT his parentage to
the children Of his brain. And so on to the
limit.
One wonders whether these are merely the
results of brain fag or whether the air-cool-
ing system under the Capitol dome has broken
down.

JOBS IN NEW INDUSTRIES

ME solution of the unemployment prob
lem seems to lie in the development of
new industries, to very great extent. BY
creating series of entirely new jobs, our
chronological civilization does its best to pro-
vide openings for workers dispossessed of their
jobs by the decline in older trades.
Figures complied by the National Indus
trial Conference Board, for instance, show
that in 1929 fully one seventh of all American
workmen had jobs in industries which did not
even exist half century previously.
The auto industry, for instance, employed
some 100000 men-not counting garage men,
filling station operators etc. The electrical
machinery industry employed $4,000 men,
From there the list scales down to smaller in
dustries, with $500 finding jobs in the making
of fountain pens.
Just how all this applies to our present
problem is not quite clear-unless, indeed, it
means that a complete recovery must await
the development of brand-new, large scale
industries to provide yet unheard-of set
of jobs.

DECISION as TO whether the Chamber OF
IL Commerce state treasury surplus plan will
be invoked to offset tax burdens throughout
the state probably will be made before early
next week.
The Chamber of Commerce suggestion is
logical one, driving at the tax burden, and is
one that apparently would bring relief to the
ordinary taxpayer.
Although 100000, to be divided among
units, does not seem large sum as taxes are
reckoned today. it would be sufficient to re-
lieve the pressure in many places.
Gov. McNutt has already indicated that he
will not 60 along with the suggestion, point
ing out that such a move might put the
state in the position of not being able to
meet demands of Federal social security legis-
lation.
state political observers, however, differ
with the Governor asserting that the real
reason that surplus division proposal will be
sidestepped is because the state adminiStra-
tion does not want a special session of the
Legislature.
If the governmental units Of Indiana have
an opportunity to profit from the state treas
urv surplus, it appears that the wise move
would be to aid these units rather than worry
about the outcome of a special session of the
Legislature.

SEX-MAD SIGHTSEERS

HERE seem to be good many people in
Peoria, ILL.,. who feel that getting look
at Gerald Thompson is by far the most i'm
portant task of the day.
thompson is young man who is accused
OF a peculiarly atrocious murder. The crime
Is one of those miserable affairs whose very
commission makes one inclined to lose faith
IN human nature; his defense is that he is
morally insane" and completely sex mad,
and the trial is guaranteed to bring a vast
wealth of morbid and unprintable details
And there are some who will GET I'D
early and stand in line for hours in order
to have share in it, News dispatches tell
how the courtroom at Peoria is TANNED the
minute the doors are opened. Some 1000
persons stand in the street below waiting for a
chance to get in. And me bulk of the spec
tators are women.
If the crime itself is sickening, what can
be said about the antics of the people who
insist on jamming their way into the court
room?

about as follows: If the league, organized TO
prevent aggressive action by any member
state, fails to make at least an honest effort
to prevent the Italian drive on Ethiopia, it
leaves. the way wide open for aggressive ac-
ton by any other state.
In that case, the principal reason for the
leagues existence would seem to be Cancelled.
Great Britain, threatening to withdraw If this
state of affairs is allowed to develop merely
points out that in such case the league would
lose what small usefulness it has ever pos
sessed.
From the very beginning the league has
failed to live up to the expectations of its
founders. This has been due to variety of
reasons, including the fact that the French
have consistently tried to make of the league
a super alliance to enforce the provisions of
the Versailles treaty upon Germany. But the
chief reason is the simple fact that no stream
can rise higher than its source
Concerted international effort to keep one
nation from taking aggressive action toward
another nation may be a beautiful ideal, but
it is hard thing to obtain in a world whose
principal nations have all been guilty of ag-
gressive action in the past and plan to be
guilty of it again in tne future.
Nevertheless, if there is to be any kind of
international check on war; something of this
sort must be attained. The refreshing thing
about the latest British gesture is the fact
that it reminds the world at large that if the
league can not do this it might as well go out
of existence.
1t remains to be seen how effective this
gesture will be. There is just chance that
1T will have enough of SOLDERING effect on
such nations as France to make possible a
concerted and effective protest. But the
chance is a slim one.
Meanwhile, however, it will serve a useful
purpose, if it reminds us all that abolshing
war from the modern world calls for some
thing more than pious resolutions and high
sounding phrases.

RFC AID MATTER
OF CHOICE WITH BANKS

BY r. H. Stone
The recent bank statements of
Marion County showed that more
than half of the banks in Indian
apolis had no capital of the Re-
construction Finance Corp. in their
capital structure. Outside of the
city the number was about evenly
divided.
One bank, the largest outside of
the city (but still in the county,
showed more than so per cent of its
demand deposits tied up in gov
eminent bonds, while another out
lying bank showed only Is per cent
of its demand deposits sent to
Washington for relendine
These two banks also showed in
their statements that the first had
a hook-up with the RFC, While the
last did not show any capital re-
ceived from the Washington hold
ing company. To the outsider this
naturally raises a question. Is
there any connection between the
amount of demand deposits sent
away from home and the presence
or absence of the control accompa-
nying connection with the financial
holding company known as the
RFC? Doubtless it is simply mat
ter of choice by each bank as to
which way they desire to function,
either as a unit of a nation wide
holding company or as an indie
pendently operated institution.

UTILITY COMPANIES ARE
MALIGNANT CLOUD"

By Thomas d. MCGEE
read with much interest and I
desire to commend your excellent
editorial entitled "Bigness." And it
suggests to me the thought that
economic and social danger to our
society is not threatened so much
by mere bigness of our corporate
and industrial institutions as by
their complexity and multitudinous
inter-relationships.
1t was disclosed some time ago
that a great New York City banking
institution absolutely controlled
through interlocking directorShips
and holding companies a number of
companies engaged in manufacture
ing and industrial enterprises, die
tating the prices of their products,
the wage scales, etc.
It's identity concealed, the bank
was kind of invisible dictator of
the policies and destinies and be-
havior generally of long list of
other corporations, with whom it
had no affinity. It's power as bank
was magnified a thousandfold by its
power over subordinate companies.
Bigness, when it implies such
power and prestige as was exempli-
fed by the utility companies in
dealing with our present Congress,
is indeed a menace TO the entire
country, and to all our political in
situations, our government and our
Constitution. The most malignant
cloud on our national horizon is, in
my judgment, corporations of the
kind and character of the utility
companies.

Britain will quit the League of Nations if the

or quit.

I doubt if I ever have seen
more effective picture strip than
the one which you had on the
first page of your paper last night.
1t surely carried the lesson of
safety into every home where
your paper is read, and it APP
pears to me that you would gain
much more standing in this COM
munity if you devoted the inter
ests of your newspaper to more
of these constructive measures.
When the paper came last night
my son was the first to see it. He
showed it to the other two children
and I noticed that he was lectur-
ing them along the lines of safety
and telling them that they should
not play in the streets. He illus
trated each of his remarks by
pointing to one of the four pic
lures.
I've noticed in months past that
The Times has gone out of its way
to attempt to teach the people
of this community the lesson of
safety. Although you have done
good work, it appears that when
you deal with human nature, you
can only go so far and no further.
1t sometimes makes me shud-
der to see little children running
across the street intersections,
many of them so young and so
absorbed in play that they have
no idea what dangers confront
them. A child, as long as he
never has been burned, never will
have any fear of fire, but it would

be poor practice to have to hurt
every child to impress traffic
dangers upon him.
I suggest that The Times do a
public service in permitting me to
talk about a little pamphlet that
is now available and which is
titled - And Sudden Death. 3"
1t is an article reprinted from the
Readers Digest and it really tells
a story about accidents and the
carelessness of motorists and pc
destrianS.
I said minute ago that the &C
tons of children give me great
fear. should add now that this is
trivial compared to my feelings
when L see some of the persons
who drive an automobile.
To think of the nitwits at the
wheels who are menaces when
they have a 90-mile -an-hour We
hicle in their control is enough to
make you pause and think.
Getting back to the Digest arti-
Gle, I realize it is too long for
The Times of publish, but I sug-
gest readers of this newspaper who
are interested in safety write for
copies. 1t tells the graphic story
of life and death on the highway,
so graphic, in fact, that some Of
the contents are horrible.
You can get copies by sending
2 cents to the Reprint Editor of
the Readers Digest, PleaSantville,
N. Y.
The pamphlet referred to by the
writer Of this letter is worthwhile
in the interests of traffic safety
and preservation of life.

SOnnetS Of a
SOjourner
BY BERTRAM DAY


Famed Son Of Avon, Bard of noted
lore,
King Apotheosis of English tongue!
We bow in reverence beside your
door
And listen to the songs your soul has
sung.
Ophelia picks rosebuds in the fields
And Hamlet lives in his soliloquy,
Old Shylock shuns the verdict JUS
tice yields
When Portia pleads with queenly
majesty.
For Shakespeare climbed Parnas-
sus' lonely heights,
Up rugged sleeps he made his way
to fame;
He stands alone, a beacon mid tbs
lights,
Ehulgent rays immortalize his
name!
The bones of men may sleep be-
meath the sod
But thought remain as symphonies
from God.
