THE ROSE BOWL

II is good for football that Southern Methodist
University gets the Rose Bowl invitation For
years the Mustangs have been not only first t-class
in competition but they also have developed the
open game and the passing attack to high degree
The custom has been for the Western contender
in this case Stanford, to invite the outstanding
Eastern team. 1t happens that the Big Three do
not play post games and that the Western
Conference also prohibits its members from playing
in any Of the winter bowls. That is one reason so
many Of the Southern universities have appeared
in the Los Angeles stadium.
Because there have been so many upsets in the
East, among teams not bound by conference rules
Southern Methodist appears with clear-cut right
to the invitation. The contest will settle nothing
since Princeton and Minnesota seem to be the foot
ball cream of the country this year. but it will show
that the Rose Bowl nod goes always to the logical
team after all the cards have been shuff1ed.

INDIANA AT THE STOCK SHOW

INDIANA farmers need not be ashamed of the
stock Hay and Grain Show. They did especially
we'll in corn as the reports have explained, and
a Purdue student rated highest in cattle Judging
Through the Farm Bureaus the All clubs and
other agencies, agriculture through many years has
been raised from a casual occupation to a science
If the average city were set down on farm to-
day and told to make living he probably would die
in the midst of abundance.
The college-bred farmer is coming into his own in
all states. He is found in increasing numbers in In
diana. putting into practice scientific knowledge
garnered in all parts of the earth and given him at
the agricultural schools.
This stock show reflected increasing prosperity on
the farms and found Indiana-men, women boys and
grls-well up in the awards for good products and

HOW'S THIS FOR A SLOGAN?

CAMPAIGN slogans frequently are directed at the
" stomach
Full dinner pail" of Mark Hanna's time for eX-
ample or "A chicken in every pot"
President Roosevelt in Atlanta said that national
surveys prove the average of citizenship lives to-
day on what would be called by the medical fra
erny third-class diet; that if second-class diet
were substituted we would need to put many acres
more than we use today back into cultivation; and
that if the whole nation could live a grade scale
of eating we woud have to use more land than ever
before cultivated to meet the demand for food.
To those who are so well-to-do as to be able to
enjoy dyspepsia and fuss at what is the menu of
the "Well-stocked club" this condition may seem
remote not to say impossible But to the millions
who are under -nourished it is a very real condition
indeed the ultimate correction of which would be
great accomplishment not only in terms of human
happiness, but also in economies. For our basic
problem is not one of production We are all right
on that score The real problem is consumption AS
the President said living a third-class
diet-only for the very simple reason that the
chasing power to eat more and better food"
So why not another stomach slogan, better per-
haps than even the full dinner pail or the chicken in
the pot:
"A hrst-class diet for all" Or, Three squares
day"
That shouldn't be such an impossible goal for
country rich in basic resources as ours.

LAMSON AND MOONEY

NKTHEN young David Lamson was convicted and
w sentenced to hang for killing his wife in their
Palo Alto cottage the California Supreme Court
granted him a new trial on the ground that the
State had not made out case against him.
1T is better that guilty man escape than to
condemn to death any one who may be innocent, ="
said that august body.
This same court now forces counsel for Tom
Mooney to spend months of time and big sums of
familiar with the legal scandal of his murder con-
viction 1e years ago While Lamson possibly is in
nocent, Mooney certainly is.
The habeas corpus hearing now going on in San
Francisco reduces to their ultimate absurdity the
murder charges against Mooney.
BY stipulation the state now admits that only two
witnesses saw Mooney at the bomb scene These
Justice Langdon of the California Supreme Court
says that if one of these state witnesses told the
truth the other one lied. They both lied
Macdonald swears he lied under coaching by the
prosecution. OXnan was perjurer and suborner OF
perjury, whose testimony. former Gov Young SAYS

I belonged to Union Local 81 dur
ing the period I worked at the Big
-Four shops. In the last 10 or more
years I averaged only from five to
eight days a month. paid my dues
just the same and I went without
things that I needed for myself and
for my family.
In July, 1884, they called a meet
ing, and never notified we men who
were laid off. We fellows who were
laid off were satisfied with three or
four days a week. Now they are
working six days and they are still
grabbing the extra day and Sun
day also when they can get it.
I would advise you boys not to
break the Third Commandment ::
Remember thou keep holy the
Sabbath day." and to all of you
who believe that way I would say
give us poor fellows a break once,
and pray for the unemployed and
those poor innocent children who are
starving, with no clothes and no
fuel to keep them warm.
We would like to hear from the
union leader of Local 81 and see
how he feels about getting us work.
That's what we Want-Work.

EUROPE is BLAMED FOR
UNREST IN U. S.
BY Allen Henry Ma Jors

By Allen Henry Ma Jors
Europe, with it's age-old jealousy,
has caused the greater part of the
financial and industrial unrest in
the United States today. Lax immi-
grafton laws, violated treaties, pro-
motions of Europe, such as the
League of Nations and the World
Court, are indirect attempts of for
eign nations to estop or cancel
World War debts.
American capital with invest
mentS in European countries, doubt
full value of foreign bonds on the
world market and diplomatic nego-
tiations to stabilize currency, show
the American public that private
citizens are an integral part of the
settlement of World War debts.
From the economic viewpoint, the
future OF American finance and in
dustry depend upon the settlement
of past debts of American business
to alien nations.
To realize this end, the Depart
ment of State should work harmo-
niously with American keys of busi-
ness, keeping in mind the invest
ments of United States and the
past World War debts.
The united front of American cap
ital, cooperating with the goven-
ment Of United States, will restore
confidence of the investing public
and also restore value of local and
international contracts or trade
treaties.

BONUS AND BUDGET

MOST Of the prospective Republican presidential
4'A nominees seem to agree on two issues They
would balance the budget and pay the soldiers bonus
The two exceptions apparently are Herbert Hoover,
who vetoed the bonus when he was President and
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, who has voted to
sustain bonus vetoes.
Incidentally Senator Vandenberg is an exception
in another respect He is the only presidential hope
in either party who has advocated taking the hard
road to balanced budget-the road of higher taxa
ton
But other G. O. P. hopefuls seem to disagree only
as to method
Gov. Hoffman Of New Jersey for example, has
been appointed to veterans committee to lobby the
bonus through the next Congress session That has
obvious political advantages. Success of Hofmans
lobby efforts not only would endear the Governor
to the veterans but would also force payment in the
current fiscal year. and thereby increase the deficit
Of the Roosevelt Administration thus strengthening
the campaign criticism which Mr.. Hoffman and other
baanced-budget apostles hope to heap upon the New
Deal
Senator Borah, on the other hand has not shown
much impatience about getting the budget balanced
His record indicates he will continue to vote for the
bonus every time it comes up until it passes and
postpone the problem Of budget balancing until after
he personally is satisfied that there has been enough
imitation.
Gov. Landon of Kansas is quite fortnight as a
budget baancer But in respect to the bonus he has
not yet taken the public into his confidence although
he was prominent at the last American Legion con-
ventlon. Perhaps events will dispose of the issue be-
fore the nominating convention, and he never will
have to break his Coolidgean silence.
But to Frank Knox goes the distinction of spon-
sorng the only plant that is bait both to the tax
payer and the veterans He, too would pay the bonus
Immediately, not by the printing press route nor by
new appropriation but of the four billion dollar
work relief fund already appropriated Thus the
veterans would get their bonus, and it wouldn't cost
the taxpayers anything extra.
Or would it? The money in hand, now being
rendered in subsistence wages the breadwnners of
families on relief would be passed over to the vet
Grams. If cashing the bonus certificates used up all
the money in hand, what would Uncle Sam do? Dig
back into his pocket for more stand empty handed
leaving work projects half completed and leaving re-
lief families to starve? Mr.. Knox hasn't said

THE annual Clothe-a-Child campaign is now
open. We have hopes that the number of
needy children aided this Christmas will be greater
than the 1905 who clothed 1884 by gifts from
readers Of The Times.
More money is in circulation More people are
able to do good deeds Yet the number of unfortu-
nate has not shrunk visibly There is some kind Of
lag between groups which even the best economists
have not been able to diagnose.
Therefore it s imperative, if the need of Indian
apois poor children for clothing is to be met, that
those in a position to help remember that recovery
has not reached down into the depths.
Yet the very poor have children Of promise They
just precious, Just dear to their parents as
the children Of privilege. They must be helped,
saved, educated, carried forward The Clothe-a-
Child movement is one way of reaching them. You

OTHER OPINION
On Tariffs
I'D, w, Ellsworth

The protective tariff, ever since
the turn of the century, has con-
stituted as drastic an experiment in
economic planning as could we'll be
imagined. Those who rail at the
economic planning under the New
Deal. however much their COM
plants may be justified in partic-
ular instances. can not come into
court with clean hands as long as
they insist on the divine right and
magic power of tariff protection.
The same observation applies with
almost equal force to the question
of regimentation, about which SO
much is heard these days. If pro-
tective tariffs are not a form of
regimentation, We should like to
know how else to describe them.
Regimentation, as we understand
the popularly accepted meaning OF
that term, is process whereby in
dividuals, partnerships and corpora
tions, for some purposes which the
political party in power conceives to
be for the common good, are prohib-
tied from engaging in certain other
wise perfectly legitimate business
transactions. Consequently, the
protective tariff constitutes a form
of restriction and repressing of in
dividual freedom.

Graciousness is their middle name of course

you forgive them all over again.
In good many instances they don't even apoo-
gze. I've seen the LATEST goodfor nothings in town
hold up luncheons at which professional women,
who have to be prompt, were also guests. Since the
affair could not start time the professional people
would be obliged to leave in the middle of the meal
Such behavior is considered rude even in the low
est social circles. Society leaders would be doing
a fine thing if they the fashion for promptness

embarrassment they deserve
Promptness is only habit, the result of sys-

cent consideration for the rights OF other people.
Busy individuals usually prompt it's those

ANTI I-ROOSEVELT PROPA-
GANDA FOUND AMUSING

BY Theodore L. Moritz
I was very much amused by the
propaganda against President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
First, they speak of him as hot
balancing the budget. The ques-
ton is whether to balance the
budget or let the people starVe.
The President has chosen to not
let people starve.
Second, they speak of him as not
having kept his campaign prom
ises. I believe the President would
like to cut the government cost 25
per cent, but what would the 25
per cent do who would be thrown
off the pay roll? They would join
the relief rolls and there would be
created a revolving list of relief roll
versus relief roll
Third, the vested interests cry
about his guinea pig" experiments.

get us out Of q rut than to have the
same conservative thought we have
had for the last so years. Chang

Merry-Go-
Round
BY DREW PEARSON and
ROBERT ;. ALLEN.

XXTASHINGTON. Dec 3.-The
w Capital has a new indoor
sport-"doping" Supreme Court de-
ciSions on New Deal measures now
undergoing tests OF consutuuonality.
Everybody, from society matronS TO
taxi drivers, has an opinion plus a
line Of argument to back it up.
All conjeCtures are pure guess
work. But privately the New Deal
lawyers who are carrying the bur-
den of the legal battling divide the
big test cases into three categO-
ries: those they believe they Will
win; those they expect to lose, and
doubtful ones.
The lineup, highly interesting be-
cause it represents the inner Ad-
ministration view, follows:
Expected Victories
Tennessee Valley Authority.
AAA-NOtwithstanding the re-
cent injunction granted by the
court to restrain the collection Of
processing taxes from Louisiana
rice millerS.
Right of the Public Works Ad-
mlniStratiOn to condemn land for
housing and slum clearance prof.
ectS.
Right of the Public Works Adj
ministratiOn TO underWrite mu-
nicipal power projects.
Expected Defeats
Bankhead Cotton Control Act
Secretly considered the weakest
measure the government has to
defend because of its compulsory
features.
Tobacco Control Act.
Potato Control Act-a sincere
fight will be made, but the Ad-
ministratiOn will shed no tears
over it if it is torpedoed
Frazier-Lemke Farm Mortgags
Act-A non-New Deal law which
was thrown out by the court last
year and passed again in modi-
fed form.
Doubtful
Holding Company Act-Most Of
the government attorneys anuci-
pate a five-to-four decision on
this issue, and it may so for or
against the New Deal.
Wagner Labor Disputes Act
Even some of its sponsors are du-
bious about the legality Of some
of its provisions.
Guffey Coal Act-Its constitu-
tiCnality was also seriously ques-
toned when it was before Con-
greSs.
In each of the doubtful issues
ADMINISTRATORS are counting
heavily on the consideration of pub
lie interest to pull them through.
The power question is political
dynamite, even for the Supreme
Court; while the Wagner and Cuff
fey acts affect great groups of in
dividuals. For these reasons the New
Dealers believe they may skin
through.
