SLIDING HOME

Rockville easily defeated the Tako-
ma Tigers Sunday, 8 to 8, with Roger
pitching the tirst seven innings and
Bonnie Coleman making a pretty
finish. The Hutchinson boys kept up
the good work at the bat. Scotty Col
Inns kicked in with home run.
Next Sunday Rockville will meet
Colesville for the second time. The
first meeting resulted in an over
whelming victory for the county-seat-
ers.
Roger will probably oppose Helm
Sunday. Eddie Helm is good when the
weather is right. Look for a closer
score this time.

NEEDED: A FIRE STATION

THE projected replacement of the an
tiquated Engine House No. s in the 500
block, w. Westinghouse, by the Indianap-
oplis Fire Department is an intelligent STEP
OF the $57,072 increase in the Fire Depart
ment budget, the replacement project takes
$4,000 Indianapolis can not spend $4,000
more wisely than in building a new fire sta
ton w. Westinghouse.
There are too many large industrial plants
in that immediate vicinity to shoulder off the
request of Fire Chief Fred c. Kennedy. The
Fire Department has the equipment and it
has the man power. All it needs to insure
the safety of the large plants in that territory
is a modern fire station.
Why modern apparatus should be housed
in decrepit structure is more than most citi-
zenS can understand
The Fire Department budget deserves ap-
proval-whole-hearte approval.

A SPECIOUS ARGUMENT

WHY pass the Guffey-snyder coal control
w bill when it's plainly unconstitutional"
ask its opponents, whose lobbying has delayed
action far too long.
This is an argument based on opinion
rather than fact.
In February, 1913, Congress passed the
Webb-Kenyon Act, regulating the shipment of
liquor into dry territory. President Taft vetoed
the bill. Accompanying his veto was long
statement by Atty. Gen. Wickersham prophe-
sying that unless the Supreme Court receded
from a well-settled line of decisions extend
ing over period of years." it would certainly
declare this legislation to be without the con-
stitutional powers of Congress-" Mr.. Taft's
veto message quoted fnom six Supreme Court
decisions and alluded to others. He 1uently
reminded congressman that they also were
duty bound by oath to observe the Constitu-
ton"
Certain of its unconstitutionality was a
President, considered to be one of the greatest
constitutional lawyers of our history, a man
later to become Chief Justice. Equally certain
was one of our ablest Attorneys General. Their
objections were bulwarked with plenty of clear
cut precedentS. Yet
Congress passed the act over Taft's veto,
and the Supreme Court upheld Congress. In
fact. it sustained this unconstitutional" act
twice, once in 1915 without a dissenting opin-
ion, and in 1916 with two dissenting.
More recently such able constitutional law
yers as Newton D. Baker and James M. Beck
declared the iva Act unconstitutional, but the
Federal Circuit Court in New Orleans just Sus
tanned it. We can not recall single important
social reform measure which its enemies did
not describe as unconstitutional.
Obviously Congress should not raise false
hopes by passing a clearly unconstitutional bill.
But as many able lawyers say the Guffey
Snyder bill is constitutional as say it is not.
President Roosevelt, himself pretty good
lawyer, advises Congress to pass this bill and
leave its constitutionality to the courts. In
view of the chaos in coal and this measures
sincere attempt to cure it, Congress should
take the Presidents advice.

MORE SAFETY SIGNS

HIGHLY encouraging is the movement to
IL place on important Indianapolis traffic
arteries go signs admonishing automobile
drivers to observe speed laws and guard
against accidents.
The citys rapidly increasing death and in
jury toll from traffic mishai1s is more than
disconcerting. Some way must be found to
curb our wild Hoosier drivers who go racing
their automobiles through residential sections
at excessive speeds.
Flooding the streets with motorcycle po-
licemen is one way of doing it, but it would
take more motorcycles and policemen than
there are in the entire state.

obligation to society all's to the good

$3.50. 1t is a book of celebrities Editor Blumen-
field has produced and he skllfully portrays
scores of famed personages ranging from Lord

Here, for instance, are some of the people Mr..
Blumenfeld describes from intimate meetings:
Tennyson, Stevenson, Sarah Bernhard, Ellen
Terry, Hiram Maxim. Thomas Edison, Patti,
Carnegie, Buffalo Bill, Barnum, King Kalakua
of Hawaii, Sir Arthur Sullivan, Clemenceau, Bis
marck, Bonar Law, Lloyd George, Lord Kitch-

fellow Hoosiers, is just drop in the bucket.
Describing a meeting with Mr.. Coolidge, the
author tells how they stood for photographers.
They tell me-" said Mr.. Blumenfeld that
you never show smile. wonder if you can
Mr.. Coolidge practically snorted out of a
corner of his mouth:
That's libel. I'll show you I can smile as
we'll as any one. Let's both smile"

TAXING SIGHT UNSEEN

A FTER the Senate Finance Committee last
4 Saturday approved the La Toilette plan to
add million or so persons to the list of in
come taxpayers, We we're fascinated by the
delicate phraseology in one newspaper which
SAID
"VirtGsl unanimity of opinion exists that
the House. more finely attuned to the immedi-
ate reaction Of the voting taxpayers. will
Shrink from enactment Of a bill sure to cost so
many people money
The author of that fine language. subse-
quent events proved. grossly underestimate
the political senstivity Of the Senators. For
after a weekend Of attuning their ears to the
reaction. the Senators rushed back into the
Finance Committee on Monday and not only
threw out the La Toilette plan, but also went
the House one better in tenderness to voting
taxpayers"
Whereas the bill which passed the House
provided tax increases for all incomes above
$4,000. thereby affecting about 5000 voting
taxpayers, the bill which the Senate Commit
tee finally reported provided tax increases only
on incomes of more than Sl,OOOOOO, and would
affect only about 46 voting taxpayers.
Now of course both the Senators and the
House members know that substantial revenue
can be obtained only by taxes that are levied
on broad base. And being in the business of
spending tax money. they are not averse to
substantial revenue. So they vince not at all
at and tamper not at all WITH the invisible
sales and nuisance taxes that now produce
about two-thirds of all Federal revenue. These
unseen taxes are levied on the broadest posi-
BILE base, picking the pockets of the 12O-odd
million American consumers. They discrimi-
nate not at all between the widows mite and
the millionaires mite.
But when some one seriously suggests a
broadening of the base of visible taxes-taxes
that can be seen and felt and collected on the
principle of ability to pay-my! oh my! how

SMOKESCREEN

ZONES now Herbert Hoover and joins in
~ the alarm about amending the Constitu-
ton, adding his name to that of Hearst, the
young Republicans, Jim Reed, the Democrat,
and the already long list of those who are out
to save the document, as is. BY inference, in
each of these alarms President Roosevelt and
his advisers are treading toward the edge of
treason in even mentioning the idea of a
change.
What for the life of us we can not under
stand is why the sacrilege, when the document
itself contains the machinery for amendment.
Article V provides two distinct means of
initiating, and two means of making effec-
tive, amendments.
In practice, the Constitution has been
amended 81 times nine times since the anti
slavery amendment of 1865, and six times
within the last 26 years.
Of these last six amendments, three were
proposed and put through under Republican
leadership, and three under Democratic leader
ship.
The three amendments to carry out Civil
War detectives were of course Republican
achievements, it being with a frank Constitu-
tion-mending program that the Republican
Party became an important factor in American
life.
With what good grace, then, and upon what
precedent do these self-styled patriots speak
who shudder at the mere idea of any sort of con-
stitutional change, and impute lack of patri-
otism to a President who so far is only
vaguely reported as wanting to do what other
Presidents have done?
If and when President Roosevelt does pre-
sent a specific constitutional amendment, or
amendments. then the American people will
take proper interest in all phases and impli-
cations of what is proposed, and indeed this
newspaper will be as much concerned as any
one else as to the governmental policy involved
In the meantime, the purely political,
patiently insncere, and largely blatherskite
smokescreen now being laid down by Admins
tration opponents against any constitutional
amendments at all is so utterly transparent as
TO be nothing more than stupid.

BACK TO BIKES

THE pendulum of popular fancy in our
- restless land that has swung back to cro-
quet, hillbilly ballads and lego mutton
sleeves, has landed us astride that old reliable
means of locomotion in the giddy nineties the
bicycle.
Bicycles are back, not as fads of the rich
but as transportation. According to the U. S.
Municipal News, cities all over the country are
finding it necessary to pass traffic ordinances
or revise old ones regulating two-wheelers.
San Diego requires license plates and so cent
fees for some $4,000 cycling citizens. Minneap-
oils last year repealed an 1893 ordinance
against wheel-riding on sidewalks Chicago
considers the construction Of 100 miles of park
way cycle paths and six-foot shoulders on
highways.
The new laws are different. Whereas the
old ordinances we're designed to protect the
pedestrians from careless cyclers the new ones
protect cyclers from the automobiles.
The comeback of the bike is good sign.
1t develops the leg muscles and gives time for
the almost forgotten joys of contemplation.
If Economically inclined we can go JOY riding
on a bicycle built for two. and even get peek
of scenery between the bilboards as we dash
by And eventually we'll get to where we're
going. What's the big rush, anyway?

school, which is under way at Lib
erty Beach. I can sympathize with
the gentleman, for 35 years ago I
was also a Methodist preacher and
was as much opposed to Socialism
as he; and for the same reason.
All I knew about Socialism was
what I had heard and read from it,
enemies, the profiteers from the toll
of others.
But, unlike this gentleman, I did
not go about ranting against some
thing I knew nothing about, but I
began to read Socialist literature to
find out just what it was l felt
that it was a duty I owed to my
country, to my family and to my
self, for if it were an evil I should
be against it with all my might. On
the other hand, there may be more
good in it than the capitalists we're
willing to admit.
AS read, there was opened be-
fore my eyes a vision of surpass-
ing beauty. Getting an under
standing Of the kind of social and
economic life the Socialist would
have us live, I was entranced with
its simplicity, its justice and its
security for all with all poverty
done away forevermore.
The reason we are in the present
mess is because of the ignorance
of the masses. The people can end
poverty whenever they decide to
stand together for social ownership
Of the means of production and
distribution, to supply the needs
of the people and without private
profit to greedy owners who do
nothing for the public good
1 would advise the minister to
enroll in the Socialist school and
learn what Socialism means. Also.
I would advise him to read the
latest edition of the book of dis
cipline of his church, which en-
phatically takes the stand for So
cial ownership and control of in
dustry. and that is Socialism in its
entirety.
