Makes Plea for Free Speech for CougIlin

Coughlin theories mean about
as much to me as the precise legal
status of said stadium. The least,
however, to be said for either the
man or the cement bowl is that
one is a free, intelligent American,
the other public property used in
the past for such a. variety of
events as football games, prize
fights and a euchariStic congress.
So long as the peoples property
is sought for lawful purposes, and
its seeker can pay the cost and
fill all other reasonable qualifca-
tions, it seems only fitting that
such property should be available.
Father Coughlin hasn't yet won
our political faith, but we look
with suspicion on those who would
dare to deny him the constitu-
tional right of free speech and
assembly.

POINTS TO REAL
TAX PROBLEM

BY Reader
The $3.50 tax law agitation is a
highly organized effort to foist upon
the people of Indiana sales tax.
Indiana has constitutional
amendment in effect to permit the
Legislatures levying of an income
tax" Why has a gross receipts tax
been enacted? Merely to disguise
the sales tax now in effect in Indi-
ara. All taxes are, in the last anal
ysis, consumer taxes.
The owners of property who rent
it, merely collect taxes from the
renter as part of the operating cost.
The rental value may not always be
sufficient to cover all necessary
charges against property, such as
depreciation, repairs, insurance, in
terest on debt, income failure, va
cancy and such other items, but
these items are of lesser Importance
than the maintenance of those es-
sential public services such as
schools, without which property
would have no value whatever or
public roads, sewers, lights, parks,
boulevards, community buildings,
police and fire protection, courts,
prisons, asylums, hospitals and a
myriad of other services provided by
public taxation.
The real value of property is de-
rived from these public services. OF
course the tax dodgers association
wants us to believe that taxes are
unwarranted expense and that prop
erty ought to dodge its social obi
cations. All taxes are eventually
paid by the consumer. Sales taxes
are more direct with more chances
for lodging. The real trouble in
taxation is that too much property
pays no taxes, or is in the low tax
preferred class such as bonds, mort
cages, stock certificates which
amount to as much real property as
real estate. There is our real tax
problem and source for reducing
property tax.

AS predicted by competent econo-

LOOKS ON GAMING RAIDS
AS PUBLICITY STUNT

BY Hunter Paxton
1t looks as though Sheriff Otto
Rays gambling raids are back of
the eight-bal. Now it seems that
only two of the original army he ar
rested are really going to be made to
face the music
l wonder who wants these
gambling raids. Most persons are in
telligent enough to realize that a
few scattered arrests won't cure a
human characteristic, and even the
various public morals and women s
club groups don't seem to be par
ticularly interested.
Sheriff Ray timed his raids right
and got big play in the papers. but
most persons think he was just CO.
ing little publicity work.

and we have state laws that cover
this if one is involved in an acct
dent. However, 1 prefer to keep
my dollar and watch out for the
reckless driver whether his car is
mechanically right or not
Having driven some 20 odd
years without an accident I feel
that it is only wise or prudent for
any motorist to keep his car in good
condition as to brakes, lights and
steering and most of us who are
sensible or careful do that. Here
is hoping that our city council gets
so many protests that they will de-
eide to let our traffic police check
up on cars without cost to the mo-
toriSt. In the past they did mighty
good Job.

MONDAY. JULY q 1885
CONCENTRATE, MR.. PRESIDENT!

IIOW the opposition to the New Deal has
II become emboldened is strikingly demon
strated by talk of Impeachment. now heard
from Republican Floor Leader Bertrand Smell.
There was a time not long ago when the
minority carefully avoided any direct attack
or the President II confined its criticism TO
the brain trust and stTdiously laid of Roose-
Welt himself Now. that's all over Roosevelt no
longer occupies the purely offensive position
that he once did. He is personally and Off
oially on the defensive in many directions
That fact should not be laughed of. AS
newspaper which has supported the New Deal
We want to offer some friendly advice 1t is
this.
Concentrate. Mr.. President. Concentrate on
that one big plan you announced last January
the plan that was to be the key to all the
rest. Follow through. If you don't, your whole
show Will be in danger
We refer to the $4,000 100000 re-employ-
ment-recovery program. The promise was to
put all re-employables in this nation to work
Nov l was the date when that happy end was
to be accomplished.
The dehniteness of that program as orig
uldlY stated, LLle dSouI WHICH accompanied
the naming Of a terminal date, inspired this
nation with the greatest hope 1t has had since
the depression struck. Disappointment if the
promise fails will be deep and wide and bitter.
Despair will be in ratio to the magnitude of
the hope that was created. Should that one
jOr plan not succeed should We go into
another January with another call for other
billions with which to try, try again, Franklin
d. Roosevelt Will go under such fire as to make
the one which is now being concentrated on
him seem nothing at all by comparison.
AS the situation now stands, the big plan
is not working out. Six months have gone
and only three months and 10 days remain
until Nov. l. We believe We realize the ire
mendous burdens and requirements and dis
fractions of the presidential job, and the SEEM
ing importance of many things other than the
Lain chance But all other things and all
othe. issues put together amount to nothing
If the key arch falls.
So we ge-concentrste. Forget the Smells
and forget the Huey Longs. Forget politics.
Forget November, 1886 Draw bead on No
vember, 1885. and 1886 will take care of Itself.

NIGHT
BY VIRGINIA

I am bewitched by Night d.
By the dark-brow'd beauty of her,
The hushed, sweet voice of her,
The fragrance Of her that closes
my eyes
In heavy-lidded sweetness
At dusk, I trace the path that leads
Like some white vein in the dark
ness
To the willow tree,
And watch her come
To me.
Sometimes her skirts are filed
With tiny star flowers
That send dancing, silvery lights
Over the willow
Making our meeting place a hall
lowed place, indeed.
She wears the moon, sometimes, too,
In a pendant about her throat
And never was a queen more beau
tiful.
Or sometimes,
She slips over the hill
A little sad. perhaps,
With mist in her hair
And dark shirts billowing around
her
There's no star-fowers
Nor moon-pendant this night.
Heavy stiffness in the shelter of the
willow.
She touches my eyes and my lips
With her fingers
And her breath stirs my hair.
From a throat hurt with feeling
1 talk TO her
Of things I mean to build ...
Great arched bridges and tall ouild-
ings
Like fingers reaching up to the sky.
She understands how my heart and
mind ache
With dreaming of these things
But she taunts me
Dreamer"
And her voice sounds like the ripple
OF the brook at our feet.
Often the birds
In hushed chirpings take up the cry
And the willow dips and SWays
In rhythm
Dreamer! Dreamer!"
Until it becomes
A lullaby.
If all Life were like this
Soft-singing hours Of Peace!
And when I wake
Ny love has gone leaving the pale
light
OF early morning
Shine through the willows tears.
l know she has kissed me
My forehead is moist with the dew
Of her lips.
Today has passed quickly.
A thousand cares,
Tumbled dreams
Were nothing in remembering
That could lose them all
In the arms of Night =.
! I am waiting for her now .,,-

not let the facts speak for them

not one attempted to stop the
brawl until Mr.. Blish was pretty
we'll squelched. Folks are funny
that way when they think fellow

No sir! The people of this state
do not approve Of judge being a
tyrant, nor do they, Mr.. Editor,
down in their own hearts, approve
of any newspaper attempting to in
timidate public officials to gain
their own ends.
Of course, Judge Baker isn't news
any more and no doubt your 1000
word editorial and suggestive car
toon will be the last we'll hear of
him from you. YEAH
You have people actually reading
your sheet now who never did

Baker to tell us some more about

1t would seem then that people
want paternalism in government;
in fact the whole New Deal is built
on that idea. If you have this
paternalism you have rising costs
and that means more taxes.

The Baker Opinion
An Editorial

proper administration of justice as the COM
mission Of any crime.
We have previously challenged Judge
Bakers fitness on the grounds of proper ju
dicial conduct. We believe a judge should be
calm and dispassionate; that his judgments
should rest solely on law and evidence and
not on personal bias or prejudice. Obscene
references from the bench-the rendering of
decisions based on the court personal
opinions of a newspaper editor--reckless re-
linquishing of functions which we think
should reside solely in the person of the court
all these constitute in the opinion Of The
Times, sufficient reason to support the beliefs
We have expressed regarding Judge Bakers
judicial qualifications.
WE do not believe those opinions are based
w on any personal feelings about Judge
Baker and we do not believe the effort to
interpret the expressed views of The Times
as purely personal differences has succeeded.
Judge Baker injected personalities from the
bench there have been Islander and vilifca-
ton, but The Times has refused to reply to
such abuse because this is an institutional
matter, not personal one. 1t was our desire
not to befog the fundamental issue.
That issue, to repeat briefly, is whether
criminal justice should be exercised In man.
ner that is out of keeping with the public
interest.
1t can be of no personal interest to The
Times, but it seems to us very much in the
public interest, that Joel Bakers initials
"JAB" have appeared on documents ordering
a case delayed, placing man in Jail, and
releasing man from custody. This is an
exercise of power which we believe runs only
to the court itself. The relinquishing of such
power to minor court attache is, to our way
OF thinking, evidence of an improper influence
in Criminal Court

credit for victory
We're not SO inclined. We are not interest
ed IN credit but in results. We realize this
victory is only step. Much remains to be
done.
Time will no doubt be required in order to
effect complete correction of the bad condi-
tons We believe to exist in Criminal Court

people at the polls. If so, The Times dedi-

hot and that the patience and interest

sometimes are unavoidably technical and

1t is not difficult to devote time and atten-
ton to given issue far out of proportion to
its interest and Importance. The Times, as
an institution, has its chips in this fight; we're
in to stay.
We shall continue to observe and report
matters of interest in Criminal Court and
comment on them as We deem proper. It is
not our intention however, of rubbing the
subject threadbare.
