DYNAMIC DOLLARS

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has asked Nor
ris Llewellyn Cooke to organize one of the
work-relief programs most important national
projects, that of rural identification. He could
do no better than draft this able engineer to
administer the S1OO,OOOOO0 fund.
Few specialists in the power field have had
broader experience as consultant for both pri-
vate and public works on a grand scale. He
was director of Pennsylvanias Giant Power
Survey, trustee for New York's Power Author
ity and chairman of the Mississippi Valley
Commission of Public Works. He helped write
the Mississippi Valley report and the National
Resources Board power survey.
If public works succeed in printing private
industrys pump every one Of the governments
four billion dollars must be spent with an eye
on the national scene. And every such dollar
must be a dynamic dollar that will grow quick
ly into expanding needs and living standards.
A great cultural frontier awaits the govern
ments planners in millions of farm homes still
uneouipped with the simplest of labor-ssving
devices Only about 11.2 per cent Of the coun-
try's $685. 900 farm homes now are wired for
electricity.

Army officers who had so much to say about

next step SHOULD have been:

arrest he shall AT ONCE be committed to

sentenced"
Not until April "a last were the Bankers
finally sent to Michigan City and then only
after an arrest by the state police on another
liquor charge.
This was FIVE years after the Supreme
Courts decision in Lees case and TWO years
after its findings in Dells appeal Why?
Did Judge Baker know where Lee Barker
was last fall? Lee served 26 days in Marion
County Jail in November on a charge of con-
tempt Of Judge Bakers own court He fin
ished this sentence on Nov. g.
Did Judge Baker then send him to
Michigan City? He did not. He set Lee
Barker free in his own recognizancel
THE judge himself has attempted to ex-
plain this odd proceeding by saying that
he thought if Lee Barker were released he
would fetch his brother, Dell, who seemed
to be out of town at the time
But the law gave Judge Baker no such
power. He had only one thing to do. That
was to send Lee Barker to Michigan City,
When this newspaper made public these
facts in connection with the administration
of justice in Marion County Judge Bakers
response was lot of slanderouS claptrap
about The Times editor and an order to his
attaches not to assist Times reporters in To-
eating records in his court.
Thinking people are not going to accept
this as an adequate explanation of the cold
facts in the Barker case
Members of the judiciary should be above
unseemly displays Of passion when they are
called to question Tor their official acts No
judge can judge Alright unless he be able to
Tree his mind from all passion.
Judge Baker has reputation for dealing
out the limit of punishment on occasion. We
return to Cicero to remind him:
He can not be strict in Judging, who does
not wish others to be strict in judging him."

RECIPE FOR POPULARITY

IF the old guard Of business and politics con-
Il t.nues to assai President Roosevelt. there
soon may be nobody in favor of the New Deal
except the people.
few months ago there seemed to be a
vigorous third-perty movement forming to
the left Of the President. disappointed thou
sands seemed to be 1ocking to the banners of
left wing leaders wilU cried out tnat the New
Deal had not gone far enough nor fast enough
IN redistributing wealth and driving the money
changers from the temple.
ct when Milo Reno staged his third-party
rally in Des Moines. Huey Long was the only
national figure who attended. Father Coughlin
grows less rather than more critical of the New
Deal. And at the third-party meeting in
Washington Saturday, not even one sensa-
tionaI liberal showed up.
What has mellowed left-wing antipathy to-
ward President Roosevelt? What has damp
ened the old guards hope of seeing third
party divide the liberal forces and throw the
1886 election to the Republicans?
Among the things which doubtless have
helped to strengthen the Presidents position
are:
The vicious assault by utility holding COM
panies. old guard politicians and press against
the Administration bill to reform a system
which robbed both utility consumers and in
vestOrs.
The equally blind and bitter attack Of re-
dictionary interests on the Administration
banking bill to transfer part control Of the
peoples money and credit from private bank
ers to the government.
Big business chiseling o. NRA codes.
To these blunders Of the reactionaries, the
United States Chamber of Commerce added
the finishing touches when it condemned NRA
and the Presidents social security, utility and
banking reform program, without proposing
adequate substitutes.
These developments are helping to solidify
the middle-of- the-roaders. New Dealers and
left wingers. While many voters may be mildly
critical Of the New Deal, very few want to re-
turn to a Hoover Mellon Chamber of Com
merce government.
Whether the Roosevelt Administration can
hold its new political gains will depend. OF
course. not upon rantings by the Huey Longs
nor sniping by the diehards, but upon eco
nomic conditions during the next Is months.

serious light resembles a comic
opera. The plot is fantastic - the
Bankers fleeing" from the law by
openly setting up residences and
carrying on their routine business
and Criminal Court officers miss
ing" them at every corner.
Judging from Mayor Kern's state
ments on the gas company purchase,
he must be finding the mayorship
more difficult task than basking
in the judicial calm of Superior
Court bench. He must be harassed
from all sides when he issues state
ments which say so little in Sc
many words.
It looks like the Democrats, In
stead Of going ahead with President
Roosevelt and the New Deal, are
slipping into the same faults as
their predecessors. Perhaps t h e
voters will give more serious con-
sideration to third party in 1886.

A Few Legal Points
An EDITORIAL

We judges who give judgments by law
should be obedient to the laws"
Those words are as true today as they
we're 1000 years ago when Cicero spoke them
to the Roman Senate. This republic like
Rome, will finally stand or fall by the purity
Of its justice.
Take a look at the law in the Barker case.
Lee and Dell Barker, bootlegger brothers, were
convicted in Marion County Criminal Court
in 1926 for violation of the state liquor law.
Judge Collins sentenced them to from one to
two years in Michigan City Prison.
They appealed and lost in the Supreme
Court. Except in cases involving Federal
questions the word of this court is final. No
other Indiana judge may alter its decisions
by one scintilla.
Here is the law:
ON a judgment or affirmance against
the defendant the ORIGINAL judgment
MUST be carried into execution as the court
may direct"
The statutes say further that after the
Supreme Court has decided, the cause must
be at once remanded to the trial court with
proper instructions, and the opinion of the
court shall also be Immediately certified to
the trial court"
Lee Barker's case was certified to Marion
County Criminal Court on April l, 1890
FIVE YEARS AGO Judge Frank P. Baker
was not Criminal Court judge at that time.
1t became his duty to deal with Lee Barker
in the following year when the judge took
office.
The Supreme Court certified Dell Barker's
case TO the lower court on Feb. 20, 1888
more than TWO YEARS AGO. Judge Baker
was in office and his duty was plain.
NTOW all this business of certihcation
meant just one thing. The highest
tribunal in Indiana had said that the Barker
brothers should serve their terms in NIichi-
gan City and it had laid an obligation upon
the Marion County Criminal Court to see
that they were committed.
Under the law the Bankers were required
to surrender themselves. They failed to do

Hitler has achieved for them. one by one he
has insulted or frightened Germany's neigh
bors. Even Poland. which played with him

Great Britain was ready to give him the
benefit Of the doubt. Strong British anti-war
sentiment and the traditional London policy
Of holding the balance OF power between Ger
many and France contributed to the original
MacDonald-Sim effort to stay out Of the
snti-Germany agreement. But Hitler made
British aloofncss impossible. first by his giant
air program and then by his secret U-boat
preparati0n-bOth aimed in part at Great
Britain As a result even the pacific Prime
Minister Macdonald has now gone over to the
bigger preparedness camp, using the Hitler
menace as justification.
But Of chief immediate importance is the

THIRD PARTY POSSIBILITY
SEEN BY READER

BY c. H. B.
It is unfortunate that so much OF
the population knows so little Of
public affairs and the manner in
which public business is handled.
The Times is performing a note
worthy service in instructing US.
The taxpayers are stockholders in
every public transaction. If had
been a voting stakeholder Of a
corporation which bought so NAM
moth a holding as the Citizens Gas
Co., with so much ignorance of the
situation as the Mayor and the
Utility District permitted, would
demand an investigation.

indianapolis city officials are dis
playing an extraordinary lack Of
familiarity with modern trends in
their sudden hurry to acquire the
property and mains Of the Citizens
Gas Co.
These officials undoubtedly have
heard the old legend that Benjamin
Franklin made himself familiar and
the world familiar with electricity
by means of a key, a kite and a
lightning bolt, but so far they have
given little indication Of any knowl-
edge Of the progress Of electrical
science and use since that time.
1t is a fine and philanthropic
idea to purchase the gas company
in order to provide the citizens Of
indianapolis with somewhat cheap
er gas, but it is the same sort Of
philanthropy as that which prompts
the royal court of Siam TO keep a
stable of white elephants. Gas is
expensive and is growing outmoded
as a fuel, just as it is forgotten as
a source of light.
Electricity is far more service
able than gas as a means of pro-
