10000 900 jobs is a mighty large
order, especially when there is not
that many jobs to be had in pros
porous years.
High production machines under
high pressure factory organization
have increased production away
above our needs on the labor of less
workers.
To my mind, there is only one so
luton. Men must master ma
chimes and not machines men. But
how? Indirectly, machines can be
mastered and must be if we are to
live; by enabling one man to support
three or four other persons. Again,
how?
To start with. let us consider the
World War veterans. Most of these
men are more than 40 and placing
them on comfortable pension Ger
tainly would make lot of openings
for younger men, thus giving the
veterans their deserved reward.
In the next five years every one
more than 40 would be retired on a
comfortable pension. Our 10000, 900
are made.
Who is to pay for this? The re-
duction of crime and the elimination
Of non productive agencies would
more than pay the bill The profit
taken from the people by life insur-
ance companies alone could foot the
bill. What about cent raise on
cigarets, cosmetics or some other
luxury? Here is something to think
about.

From His Own Mouth
An Editorial

II he had knowledge that The Times edi-
TOT. or any one else, was guilty Of blackmail,
ne should have placed the matter before the
grand Jury. Blackmai is a serious crime. If
ne has such evidence regarding the editor of
this newspaper his duty is to act-not talk.
His reckless charges in open court against
voman-the wife Of the editor-we leave
to the judgment of the people Of Indiana.
In UNFOLDING Waymsns sentence he
charged her with the commission Of crime.
We can only repeat that if he has any evil
dence to support his charge his duty is plain
in fact. it has been plain since last February
when the automobile accident occurred.
TT is strange that he did not raise this whole
Il question before The Times asked him nine
questions about his commitment Of Lee Bark
er to Jail.
Judge Bakers whole attitude toward this
newspaper has undergone startling change
When he was running for office last fall he
thought so highly of us that he reprinted, at
his own expense, articles which had appeared
in our columns He even spent consider
able sum of money purchasing advertising
space.
Then in the course of a routine check,
Times reporters ran across the Barker case.
We asked him to explain it. Our request was
courteous and proper.
From that moment he launched on mud
cunning campaign against this newspaper its
executives and its reporters. 1t was curious
change of front. Meanwhile, the Barker case
remains unexplained.
Judge Baker has attempted to make the
investigation of his official conduct a person
al feud between himself and The Times. We
are not interested.
Thinking people will decide for themselves
whether his conduct indicates desire to di-
vert attention from the Barker case.
Let's have the answers, Judge.

Bv Irving L. Miller.
There are two roads to choose
from. Which will we take, a pro-
gressive one or one to destruction?
Our forefathers in l776 chose the
road to progress, for civilization
of masses, not individual groups.
They established a government by
the people and for the people.
When they formed Constitution
for this government they had a
large problem to solve. They had
the people Of Is colonies to sat-
isfy and succeeded in forming a
centralized government. Ever
since that time we, as a people,
have looked to that government
for progress of civilization and
have fought to maintain it.
All eyes of the people of this
great nation are on Washington
today; on that government, not
state Governors. individual per-
sons or officials. Times have
changed since 1776. A larger prob
lem faces our government. People
of today. will we have the cour-
age of our forefathers to go on?
Or will we turn this government
over 10 groups, to deal with as
they please?
Injustices of groups must be
overcome if we progress and sue
coed in ending this depression.
The people have chosen repre-
sentatives and Senators to do
their will. Will it be done? Will

slams Haywood Broun, President
Roosevelt and his mob cas- she re-
fers to them of Communist adj
visers
While the lady is within her rights
to criticize whomever or whatever
she pleaSes. l can not let such alb
surd statements go unanswered
First, Haywood Broun'S column is
one of the finest contributions to
the profession of journalism. He is
gifted with a keen mind and also a
very good sense Of humor. He has
served as president of the American
Newspaper Guild and has been cho-
sen for another term. 1t is
hardly improbable that the news
paper men of this country are hon.
oring Mr. Broun because he is a
deranged writer of Communist ma
terial as you infer. 1t might inn
prove your own mind to read Mr..
Broun if you were not so thorough
~ prejudiced against him.
When a person refers to our great
President as an insane menace, and
his advisers as Communists, he or
she Gas in this caSe) is in an I'M
healthy state of mind President
Roosevelt is one of the greatest hu-
manitarians on earth. His courage
against bitter opposition is a quality
to be admired. Courage has been
lacking in American politics for
many years. He has the gift Of
leadership and the desire to help
those less fortunate. May I ask you,
out of the many millions of people
in this country. who is better fitted
to guide this country out of this de-
preston than Franklin D. Roose-
Felt?
My dear lady, after you give up,
you should thank God that you are
fortunate enough to have a man
like Mr. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt picked men who are
recognized as leaders in their line
to advise him.
l list some of these men you refer
to as Communists: James A. Mof-
fet, Standard Oil; Felix Frank
furter, professor Of law; R. j. Reyn-
olds, tobacco company executive:
Green and Lewis, labor, and count
less others.

the same letter is wanting to pre-
vent the newspapers from printing
Mr.. BrCGns views, thereby going
against oul Constitution that gives
us all free speech and freedom of
the press
am thankful our forefathers who
framed our Constitution were more
broad minded than Mrs. Snyder, for
if they had not been we would not
enjoy free speech today or have
freedom of press. AS she seems to
think her way of thinking should be
forced on all mankind as to what
she has to say OF our present gov
eminent, it really needs no COM
ment.
Our country was already in the
midst of the worst depression in the
history of our government when
Mr.. Roosevelt took over the reinS

not to blame for the depression.

HE DOESN'T THINK MUCH
OF THIS CONGRESSMAN
,r Walter c. SwengeI

By Walter c. Swengel.
Your paper reported the story Of
"purging" the Congress, as sug-
gested by the Texas member, Maury
Maverick. He would kill off a lot
of the fellows who talk lot. l
wonder if he would be safe, if such
a program were adopted?
Let me tell you about this fellow.
I have been in Texas and know
what certain names signify.
Much of Texas is devoted to cat
tie raising. Each ranchman has a
certain mark-or brand-he puts on
his cattle of value. to establish his
property rights. But the scrawny,
worthless calves are often not
branded They are any body's prop
erty' for who ever will take pity on
them and care for them.
These worthless calves are called
mavericks So you understand this
noise from the Texan. It's just the
bawling of a worthless calf.

TINE most amazing book concerning politics
l. that has been written in many years has
just made its appearance in Boss Rule; Por-
traits in City Politics." by Prof. j. T. Salter as
socate professor of political science at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin (McGrawHill $3.50.
The amazing thing about Boss Rule" is that
Prof Salter did not write his book from the
oretical point of view, but from actual expert
ence He worked his way into the confidence
of the ward heelers" of the far-reaching Ware
Republican machine in Philadelphia and there
viewed from the rngside" the inner workings
of a great political system.
Prof Salter draws his characters we'll and
the average citizen who thinks of political
machines as something sinister finds in Boss
Rule" that the ward leaders and their cohorts
do remarkable services for their constituents,
that they are, in reality, far more useful to the
folks at home" than the pompous Senators and
Representatives in Washington.
Work work work-that's the ward leaders job
and a Job he does well. relief order here,
a speeding charge fixed there, little doctoring
on a marriage license for a young lady who
loved not too wisely. a job of "springing"
youngSter a robbery charge, word to the
Judge about So-and- So-and so it goes through
the days. weeks, months and years. Election
time means even more work and the boys in
the wards deliver the goods with a flourish.
Prof. Salter makes no attempt in Boss Rule"
to defend, by inference any of the dis
honorable tactics Of ward bosses, but merely
draws his pictures crystal clear to show how
political machine actually is run.
His book is a masterpiece of reporting. 1t
should live in political annals as the true story
of modern American politics.

WI eating alligators there not. Il have
never known of but one authentic instance of
an alligator wllfully attacking a human be-
ing unprovoked" declares E. A. McIlhenny,
Louisianian who has lived among the giant
reptiles all his life and now has written a book
about them, The Alligator's Life History"
CHRISTOPHER Publishing House,.
Mr. McIlhenny makes one qualifications Fe-
males guarding the hidden nests where their
eggs are laid.
Female alligators will attack man to protect
their nests and young, but their movements on
land are so slow that there is no trouble in
avoiding them. and in the water they always
give warning if they about to attack, by
kissing and cultural gruntS.
1T is wonder more men are not injured
by these powerful reptiles, for those who make
business of hunting them for their skins are
most careless in handling Them but it is

CRIMINAL JUDGE FRANK BAKER has.
- We think. by his own utterances from the
bench proved himself entirely unfit for judicial
office Remember that his official position
gives him power not only over the liberty. but
over the very lives OF citizens Of Indiana. His
is solemn responsibility.
How Is ne meeting it?
Earl Finohum was brought before him on
the serious accusation Of frst-degree burglary
and grand larceny. The Judge released him in
his own custody He had perfect right to
do So but take look al the reason he gave
for his action:
! released Finchum 70 let the people know
- fobscene matter deleted) can not run
this court" ne said, referring TO the editor of
The Times.
Now the editor Of The Times is not par
ticulsrly disturbed over Judge Bakers opinion
OF him. Nor are the judges epthets of any
interest to the public except as they character
lie the judge himself.
After all, what possible connection can there
be between the Finchum case and Judge
Bakers likes and dislikes?
Judge Baker should deal out even-handed
dispasSionate judgment and not be sWayed IN
his official duties by personal passion.
ON Tuesday Judge Baker had before him
~ the appeal Of Roy J. Wayman. sentenced
to 30 DAYS IN a lower court for operating an
automobile while intoxicated.
Surely no logical mind could possibly con-
meet The Times in any way with the Waymsn
matter. Yet the Judge, in UNFOLDING the de-
PENDANTS conviction. delivered himself of a
long speech about an automobile accident last
winter in which The Times editor and his wife
we're involved.
Since the Judge was speaking in his off,
cisl capacity from the bench it was. of course,
necessary to print his remarks.
He accused The Times editor of backmail-

DEMANDS REASONS FOR
UNSOLVED MURDERS
By Inouiring Citizen.

By Inauiring Citizen.
Two recent murders in Indianap-
oils have caused people who follow
the news to wonder just when all
Of the unSolved murders which have
occurred in Indianapolis are going
to be cleared up. Of course there
may be difficulties which keep
police and detectives from pinning
crimes on persons responsible, but
when the numbers increase as they
have, it is apparent that something
is wrong, or one or two of the Grim
inals would be apprehended.
Fortunately for the officers, young
Thomas WelshanS decided 30 sur
render. This takes one name off the
list of alleged murderers who have
not been arrested.
To one who has read newspaper
accounts of other crimes in the past
year. the murder of the Dillon boy
whose body was found in a sewer
still seems important enough to
warrant some study by the police;
the Callahan murder has not been
solved; the Staying of the Kroger
Grocery truck driver, Penny. still is
a mystery, and the Hunt killing, IN
which a policeman's son has been
hunted, is among the cases which
are just as important. to the aver
age citizen, as that of Jerome Burns.
We may have no Philo Vance on
orr Dolice force and of course the
routine in murder mystery stories
probably does not work out any bet
ter in real life than the plots in
love and adventure stories do. But
surely with a police force which
should be efficient, and with all
modern equipment for the appre-
hension of criminals, there could be
one, at least, of these cases cleared
up.

SUGGESTS EAGLE CREEK
PARK PLAN BE DROPPED
By w. F. L.

BY w. F. L.
AS a resident of w Michigan-st,
l feel that the Federation of West
Side Civic Clubs is acting very I'M
wisely in its campaign to have the
city establish a 200-acre park along
Big Eagle Greek at this time. The
West Side does need more and bet
ter park facilities but the miniature
Yellowstone sought by the Fedora
ton is little short of fantastic.
The city's park budget has neceS-
Sarily been cut, during the last few
years, to the point where funds are
scarce even to maintain existing
parks and Fairgrounds. Land costs
for the Eagle Greek site are exces-
Sive and the cost of necessary i'm
provements and maintenance place
the project outside the bounds of
sensible possibility.
Members of the Federations park
committee are only making them
selves ridiculous by their constant
appeals to the Park Board and other
city officials and by their insistence
they may give some persons unac-
quainted with their honesty the
opinion that they are merely the
tools of selfish and INSCRIPTIONS
