AN INCIDENT THREATENS

A NY one who wants to see world peace
L maintained must hope that there will be
no repetition of the frontier incidents which
have recently disturbed Franco-German rela-
tons.
The French charge that German airplanes
have been making illegal flights over French
fortified areas-presumably to try to learn
something about Frances great new chain Of
frontier forts. So it is announced that if any
more German planes come over, French planes
will go aloft and force them down.
1t is easy to see how thing like that could
lead directly to war. An over-zealous Ger
man flier wanders over a French fortified
zone without authorization; French planes
shoot him down-and in each nation there
is touched off wave of anger and suspicion
that causes reprisals, counter-reprisals, and
ultimately war.
1t could happen just that way. We can
only hope that it won't.

PUBLIC SERVANTS

HERE are men in the employ of the state
of Indiana who do loyal and invaluable
work for the people of this state, but who labor
for years without ever being given public
attention.
Such a man is Herbert P Kenney of New
Albany. assistant public counselor before the
State Public Service Commission.
Mr. Kenney has toiled increasingly in in
terests of this states citizens Ever since the
McNutt administration started its battle for
lower utility rates. Mr.. Kenney has been in
the thick of the battle
Shoulder to shoulder with Sherman Min
ton he fought for lower rates. They won them.
Shoulder to shoulder with Fred Weicking, Mr..
Kenney is continuing the struggle. They are
winning.
Mr.. Kenney deserves the thanks of every
Indiana citizen.
Indiana needs more public servants like
him.

THE VOICES OF BUSINESS

THE United States Chamber OF Commerce
Il claims to speak for American business.
But, does it?
On the same day the chamber passed reso-
buttons bitterly critcising the NRA, the Presi-
dents social security program and other New
Deal reforms another group of business lead
ers called at the White House to reassure the
President personally of their support of his
program.
This latter group, known as the business
advisory and planning council of the COM
MERGE department, numbered more than
score and included such financial and indus
trial tycoons as Winthrop w. Aldrich, Gerard
Swope, Lincoln Fflene, James H. Rand and
Henry I. Hartman, retiring president of the
fault-finding Chamber of Commerce. The
council specifically Endorsed two-year ex-
tension of NRA and approved in general
terms the Administrations unemployment
and old-age insurance bill.
Apparently, even big business is divided.
But more important than either or both
of the two groups which advanced opposing
policies in Washington for the benefit of
Americas front pages are the rank-and-file
American business men who stayed at home,
tending their factories and stores. What do
they think of the New Deal? Do they want
to go back to a system of cut-throat compe-
tition which rewards the sweatshop oper-
ator? Do they want to chance another period
of economic Stagnation in which employees
are turned into the streets, bereft of purchas-
ing power or hope? Do they prefer a society
in which the aged are paupers and non-con-
SumerS of industry's goods?
We believe that the American business
men who stayed at home are sufficiently en-
hghtened and selfish to prefer order to chaos,
and honest enough to give the New Deal some
credit for changing their deficits into profits.

A GREAT FOLLY

THESE chain letters whereby honest souls
make few dimes for themselves at the
price of overlooking the postal system are a
good deal like the kind of prosperity we had
before 1929, when you stop to think about it.
In each case the idea is a good enc as long
as you can keep the ball rolling Collapse comes
only when the supply of suckers runs out.
Look at the dime thing for instance
You get letter with five names on it. You
add your name to the bottom, scratch off the
top name, and mail copies to five friends; and
then you send a dime to the man whose name
you scratch off. If the chain goes unbroken. in
the course of time several thousand people are
sending you dimes; they, in turn, are recon-
pensed by several times that many thousand
other people, who in turn get dimes from an
even larger number of perfect strangers, and
so on.
Theoretically, there is no exact limit to the
distance the thing could be carried All that is
necessary is that on any given date the num-
Der Of new suckers being tapped is greater than
the number Of dimes in the mail AS long as
1t keeps on going upward, nobody can lose.
Perhaps it is unkind to see in all this
parallel to the frenzied prosperity of the boom
years. But you can see it If you look for it,
just the same.

production was keyed to steadily rising mass

SCIENTISTS HAVE MUCH
TO LEARN THESE DAYS

By Hiram Lackey.
Why does a learned psychologist
who is noted for his social intelli-
gence," class the attitude of "re-
formers" with that of gossips? Does
the work of Socrates and Jesus be-
long in the same category with gos-
sip?
This reveals how easy it is to mis-
understand the strangely paradox
cal teachings of Jesus who gives us
rest by persuading us to bear addi-
tional burdens, which, in turn, en-
able us to forget our own, and who
came not to bring peace but a
sword. When tested, His teachings
work.
The ideal of these learned psy-
biologists is to create a harmonious
society, peace, security, leisure
civilization. Splendid! But, these
scientists are unwilling to allow the
pioneers of truth to subdue the
animaliSm in themselves, or to dis
courage it in others. They will nurse
this thorn of discord in their flesh
The problem which Jesus called
the devil is referred to by our bio
logists as "animalism."
Before Jesus cast the devils out
of the men in the synagogue, what
attitude did these evil spirits take
Their sentiments were crowded into
these familiar words: LET u;
alone" How often we hear these
words! They are as old as sin.
We have much to learn from
psychologists. Their efforts to lure
us to goodness by making it attrac.
tive is worthy of all imitation. Oul
pioneers in the social sciences may
be doing for our human institution.

OUR PHILIPPINE RESPONSIBILITY
a sCRTPPR-H0WARD NTWsPAPFRl

CHORTSIGHTED Americans trade policies
~ are partly responsible for the economic
conditions which precipitsted the scattered Fill
plno revolt.
Selfish congressional Hobbies forced into the
Tydings Independence Act unequal trade pro-
visions They would restrict, by quotas and
disguised tariffs, Philippine exports to the
American market upon which the islands pro-
duction Of raw materials had been developed
and still depends. Then. nine days after the
Philippine Legislature had ratified this faulty
treaty, Congress violated its specific provisions
by levying heavy tax on coconut oil.
1t is no accident that the present outbreak
centers in the copra producing region, where
four million Filipinos are being pauperlzed be-
cause that oil tax has bankrupted their only
industry.
The coconut oil tax was enacted ito protect
American farmers" But it did not bring
higher prices for American farm-produced
domestic fats and oils. Ironically, though, 1t
did bring higher prices for inedible talloW'
which is produced principally from the refuse
of butcher shops and kitchens.
This high tariff protection for the Amer
the best overseas markets for American farm
and factory products. Robbed of their pur-
chasing power the Philippines can not long re-
main our best customer in the Orient.
There are two things we can do to rescue
the Filipinos from economic paralysis and help
their peaceful transition from a subject peo-
pie to citizens of a commonwealth and thence
to a free republic.
First, Congress should repeal the coconut
oil tax That would help to restore an indus
try which supports one-fourth of the islands
population, and, incidentally, to restore our
own honor in the Far East, where we need
customers and friends.
Second, President Roosevelt should carry
out as soon as possible the promise he made
when he signed the independence act-his
promise to eliminate Objectionable trade re-
trictions by fair negotiations with Philippine
representatives.

SUGGESTS PROBE OF
GAS COMPANY DEAL

By A. P. S.
The Indianapolis Times is doing
citizens of the city great service
in pointing out inadvisability of the
purchase of the Citizens Gas Co. at
this time.
While I believe that in most cases
a city should own its utilities, it
looks very much like some one is
trying to sell the city gold brick.
A thorough investigation should
be made into the company's assets
and an accurate statement concern
ing the company's ownership should
be made public. Furthermore, off,
Gals of the Utility District should
investigate the possibility of bring
ing natural gas to indianapolis be-
fore the sale of bonds for the pur-
chase price begins.

What is there so serious about
the prospect Of government owner

owns the Army and Navy, the post
Office and all their equipment, the
national parks, the forest Of Federal
buildings in Washington, Panama
Canal, barges, a railroad in Alaska

If private ownership were such
huge success, why are the roads in
such a mess? The story Of railroad
finances compares favorably with
stories of sea pirates. Regulation By

tective measure to prevent the

PUBLIC PAYS PRICE FOR
USELESS COMPETITION
By a Times Reader.

By Times Reader.
Randolph Hearst and Mr.. WAL
green are pretenderS as "conserva-
tors" of American ideals. They are
the defenders of most 6iabolical
subversive system, that has produced
extreme wealth for few and ex-
IRENE poverty for more than 20
million in our country. That system
needs more than Mr.. Hearst and
Walgreen to defend it. 1t has robbed
these millions of American citizens
of every vestige of liberty and per-
mitted tyranny in its denial of the
very means of life that is more
brutal than any power exercised by
car and despot.
We have torn the Constitution to
shreds as far as the economic liberty
of those on relief is concerned.
Labels of an emotional character
mean nothing.
I ask Mr.. Walgreen and Hearst.
how can competition be regulated?
Why not have more competition for
the post offices, put one on every
corner. Competition puts a charge
of 81 additional on every dollars
worth of goods produced to pay for
useless overhead and duplication. If
that sort of thing is so good, why
not double the competitive units?
Every unit tries to cut cost of
operation, but meets divided patron
age as the greatest obstacle. Dry
cleaners are as thick as hops. Gas
stations are many times more than
necessary to serve the needs of the
motorists. And still they build more.
Mr.. Walgreen would not object to
owning all the drug stores privately,
which would be just as sensible as
his owning all the highways, but he
would not add new useless highways
to his chain.
Why should the public pay for
useless competition?

A Matter of Record
Editorial

FUDGE BAKERS silly personal attacks on
the editor of The Times are Of no con-
sequence.
When man feels he is losing his punch
he frequently hits low.
The Judge knows that The Times would
continue to look into his official conduct and
that of other public Office holders regardless
of what individual we're editor. That is the
policy of the Scripps- Howard newspapers,
which are independent Of any political COM
nitments.
No, this is not duel of personalities. Nor
is it part of any deep-iaid political scheme
1t is merely an inquiry to ascertain whether
the Marion County Criminal Court is being
conducted in the public interest. Judge Baker
should welcome such an investigation.
Then, Why Judge, have you instructed your
attaches not to assist in the routine matter
of finding records?
Surely it can not be because the Barker
case was disclosed through the examination of
public documents?
If the FACTS in the Barker matter were
false or malicious you, as judge know that
the law gives you ample opportunity for
redress.
Then, why Judge Baker, do you deny your
self to Times reporters?
Certainly you can not be afraid of any
questions The Times might want to ask you?
Remember, Judge, that We live under
government of laws and not of men.
Do not forget that you are a public
SERVANT and as such accountable to the
people of Indiana.

petitors and new conditions with in
telligence.
Today I saw a train entering this
city with three cars, one mail car,
one coach and one diner, belching
smoke all over the countryside. The
outside of the cars was filthy. When
electricity could be used so cheaply
to propel these trains from power
houses along the road, they con-
tinue to spew filth over passengers
who must submit and over all ad-
joining property. The railroads
make travel extremely unattractive
and then howl about competition.
They could keep up their own rights
of way as cheaply if they paved
them and used rubber-tire equip
ment on them, as on steel rails.
Why worry about railroad securi-
ties that rest upon obsolete junk? I
certainly hope Uncle Sam won't buy
that junk pile. Let the government
build national postal road routes on
paved government roads instead.

JUDGE FRANK p. BAKER has ordered
Criminal Court attaches not to assist The
Times in examining the records Of his court
His action Immediately followed publication
Of a story showing that one Lee Barker had
been at large for nearly three years after the
Supreme Court had upheld his sentence Of
from one to two years. 1t was the duty of
Judge Bakers court to send this man to
states prison. We find no law that gives
Judge Baker discretion in such matter.
Barker lived openly in Indianapolis since
January, 1881. What is even more extraor-
binary is that last fall Barker was sent to
County Jail on contempt attachment issued
by Judge Bakers court held for 26 days and
then released on his own recognizance.
Remember that Barker had been tried,
convicted and sentenced in Criminal Court;
he had taken an appeal to the highest court
in the state and that court had upheld the
conviction. Under ordinary circumstances he
would then have gone to prison. That is
the law.
The Times is not in the least interested
in Frank P. Baker, the individual.
The Times is however, vitality interested in
the conduct of the Criminal Court. 1t is the
duty Of this newspaper to scruhnize the
official acts of public servants and let the
facts speak for themselves no matter who is
damaged.
