BELIEVES SWIMMING POOLS
SHOULD BE OPEN TO ALL

BY Elisha Williams.
Please print this in favor Of the
poor children Of indianapolis.
II l am not mistaken, there are
no free swimming pools in the city.
There are thousands of children
whose parents are unable to pro-
vide the necessary funds required at
the private pools. Therefore, they
must either take chances at the "old
SWimmin' hole" or be content to
watch the higher class keep cool
and enjoy themselves. There have
been improvements Of every known
character to the public parks of
indianapolis except swimming pools.
Every park, large or small, should
have a pool Of some description.
The work could be done by F'ERA
workers with little cost to the city,
as they have done in the past plant
ing trees, cutting grass, etc.
Is there no sympathy in the
hearts of those who have plenty
for those who have nothing?
Isn't this the best solution to the
problem of guarding the danger
spots along the streams in or near
the city? But I suppose it would
be imposing on the owners Of pri-
vate pools.
Let's hear from some one else on
this subject.

THE standards Of morality in international
L politics sometimes seem to be down on
the approximate level OF a Chicago gang war
IN the dry era.
It is reported from Rome. for instance
that leading European powers have reached
a formula for settling the differences be-
tween Italy and Abyssinia.
This settlement-if preliminary reports
are correct-will consist Of a general descent
on AbySSinia by France and England. as

these plans would be split three ways-all

would have the privilege of civilizing one

have valuable pcssessions-would civilze the
third.
The whole business has a striking ressm-
blance TO the deliberations Of a gang Of
strong-arm men laying plans for the holdup
OF a factory pay roll. Only the strong
men don't bother TO talk about civilization"

The great public problem Of adequate and

which are possible by reason of the simple fact

Il Representatives is another matter none Of
us should dodge.
Seven of the thirteen Indiana congressman
deserted the President on the vote, six Of them
Democrats; four voted courageously for the
measure, and one, Arthur Greenwood, was alb
sent.
Shameful indeed was the vote cast by Louis
Ludlow of indianapolis, who pays lp-service
to the ideal of democracy and who often re-
iterates his support of President Roosevelt.
Louis Ludlow took advantage of the teller
vote to cast his ballot with the power trust"
indianapolis voters should remember that.
We had hoped that Mr.. Ludlow was swing

what with his enlightened anti-war bill, but

DILAPIDATED BOAT Is
BLAMED FOR TRAGEDY
By Observer.

by OOSerNer
AT about this time each year
there is a certain amount of COM
ment regarding motor boats on our
lakes and streams.
Most of us own and drive auto
mobiles and in purchasing a new
car we would not even consider one
incapable Of a top speed of 80 miles
an hour or better. The lowest
priced cars will do it. We are
driving along one of our highways
at a supposedly safe speed Of, say,
40. when a bicycle or a dilapidated
antique with poor brakes or lights
looms from nowhere, a crash, some
one injured, possibly fatally. This
is an almost daily occurrence.

struggle develops. The days of
an exploiting economy are over,
just as definitely as the days of
human slavery. The transition
period preceding the development
of an economy of abundance will
see desperate action to stave off
the day when exploitation will be
as unsocial as slavery.
The New Deal will likely give
way to the terror Of decay. 1t is,
however, certain that we are at
the beginning of the end of So
cial system. The symptoms Of
social disintegration reveal them
selves in that the masters of our
economic life are ignorant, in
competent and as callous as the
masters of a dying order usually
are.
The functional determinant is
very definitely evident. Every
palliative becomes a focus Of in
lection. Reform brings reaction.
1t becomes, because of its contra
dictions, a comedy Of errors NOV
ing toward the tragedy of terror.

BY a Reader.
The teller method of voting on
bills before the House Of Repre-
Sentatives is a step in the direc-
ton of FasciSm. On measures
that really determine policy of
government, the invisible govern
ment knows how to get its policies
across and still protect its rep
reSentatives from criticism of the
voters, who thought these gentle
men were the representatives OF
the folk back home.
The policy will become more
open as the crisis develops in the
collapse of our social order. Con-
gress as well as business and he
press are stepped in a training
based on a scarcity economy. AS
this economy fails to meet the
needs of the people, those who in
the past have had special priv
leges and advantages will use
every known device to protect
these privileges.

MOTORIST COMPLAINS OF
GRASS, WEEDS ON ROADS

BY Tourist.
What is the trouble with the
State Highway Commissions weed
cutters? Making a trip south on
State Road 81 last week, found
that practically every caution sign
between Martinsville and Spencer
were obscured by high weeds and
grass.
This is a dangerous condition and
should be remedied. This road
makes many turns and there are
several hills along the route. What
chance has motorist at night when
no warning signs advise him Of
these conditions? Autoists are heav-
lily taxed, and they deserve this
protection, 50 let's get busy and get
this situation remedied.
