Host Of Ne,o Relief Agencies
To Create Shortage of Offices
Interior Department Authorities Unable
to Solue Problem of Housing
Many Organizations.

Just when the host Of new Govern
ment agencies in the making under
President Roosevelt's new works relief
program will be housed in Washington
is q problem that Interior Department
authorities do not even pretend to
answer.
As matters now stand every avail
able square foot Of space in Govern
ment-owned buildings Is taken up.
There are some rentable properties
vacant and under the present set-up
it looks as If such groups as the Rural
Electrihcation Administration and the
expanded Agricultural Adjustment
Administration will have to do some
scouting around to get adequate space.
The first of the new agencies to get
lined up is the Resettlement Admins
tration, headed by DR.. Rexford Guy
Tugwell. This administration has Sc
cured space in the Mather Building
aJ Ninth and G streets, on the fifth
and sixth floors. The stats will move
In Immediately.
Three Agencies Seek Space.
It is known that the Public Works
Administration, Rural Electr1flcatlon
Administration and Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, which will,
officials say, expand very much,
are looking for suitable quarters. No
definite decision has yet been reached.
The National Emergency Council,
which has headquarters in the Com
mercial National Bank Building, at
Fourteenth and G streets, has over
flowed into additional space on F
street, in the 1400 block. The coun-
ellis offices are now established at
1417 and 1923 F street.
With space at q premium, the pc
culiar fact arises that the Federal
Government is arranging to tear
down the nine-story Architects
Building, at Eighteenth and E streets,
to make way for the new Interior
Department Building. The Archi-
tects' Building houses Subsistence

Office space is encumbered by file cases.
The National Park Service is anxious

THE SHANGHAI GESTURE

TAPANS protest to the United States over
perfectly good-natured cartoon of En-
peror Hirohito, somehow stirs us out Of all
proportion We don't know whether to laugh
or to cry.
We understand and thoroughly respect the
very special reverence in which the japanese
people hold their sovereign. To them, he is
more than mortal He is of an origin divine
Americans however, do not and can not
be expected to feel any such sentiment To
them, rulers of this and every other country
are just plain human beings, like themselves.
1t is no disrespect. therefore, when writer
or cartoonist treats them that way.
The President Secretary of State Hull and
Americans generally naturally regret anything
tending to create i'll feeling between this and
friendly powers. This is especially true in the
case Of Japan, with which the vast majority
of the people of this country sincerely wish to
be on the most cordial terms.
But there is a limit beyond which we can
not go, even for the sake of Japan. Speaking
of things sacred, our Constitution, with its
Bill Of Rights guaranteeing to us free speech
and free press, comes about as near being
sacroSanct as any institution we have. We
do not jail writers for expression of opinion
or send cartoonists to prison for a good
natured caricature, however much its subjects
may deem it les ma jeste.
Our sympathy in this incident belongs to
Ambassador Saito. 1t is he who must be the
instrument of Tokio's displeasure. He is an
able, highly intelligent man. well versed in
occidental ways. Particularly does he know
American ways. He is well aware, therefore,
that no afTront is intended
Yet it is up TO him to carry out this
Shanghai gesture" knowing all the time it
will do far more harm than good.
The real culprits are the japanese mill
tar;sts back home. and their chief neutenants,
the jingoes. The militarists have large plans
ahead. They are going to make big demands
on the japanese people, payable in blood and
gold. And tie cult of the divine origin of the
imperial house will stand them in good stead.
It leads TO mass fanaticism, and when suo

THE CRIME DRIVE

EVERYBODY is relieved, Of course, that the
II indianapolis Police Department is staging
a house-warming at headquarters for all sus-
poets of the half world" Chief Nike Norris
sey is to be complimented for the dispatch in
which his raiding squads are rounding up men
and women who have not been observing the
strict letter Of the law
But the suspicion remains that the Police
Department is perhaps guilty of cleaning up
crime. or anything else for that matter, only
when the exigencies Of the moment demand
action.
Drives on speeding motorists never strike
the citizen as being sustained efforts. Somehow
he feels that the heat" will be taken off
shortly and it will be quite all right to drive at
so and so miles an hour.
Campaigns on bookie shops strike the men
and women who bet on horses in much the
same manner. The bookie shops are closed,
yes, but soon the heat will be off and all will
be normal again.
So it may strike the citizen in this current
crime drive. For week the police raiders will
strike here and there and headquarters will be
a busting, driving place with grillings and &C
cusations and charges being filed But in
week or perhaps less the heat" may be off
and Indianapolis will return to normal.
And therein lies a moral for our police de-
partment. Chief Morrissey is a capable, alert
and intelligent leader. So are his chief sub
ordlnates. Perhaps they can see the danger of
staging campaigns on this and that evil, lifting
the heat" when all is normal and turning
then to some other field. Wouldn't it be wiser
to have the heat" turned on constantly in all
directions? Maybe the glare might not be so
bright but it might be effective

such that shakes the confidence of law-abid-
ing people in integrity and truth 1t will be
apparent to all who have followed the evil
dence in this case that you have reached

other reason. You will go home with the salts

they will commend you. can not. The clerk
will give you your vouchers"
Nothing better has been found in our law
than the jury system. When jures earn such
censure they dig at the very cornerstone of
Anglo-SaXon justice.

OUTSIDE TAVERNS

A NNEXATION of property to indianapolis
in order to permit several "taverns," now
just outside the city limits, to escape the regu-
lations of the state liquor law rightfully was
refused by the City Council last night.
Operators Of these "tavernS" were well
aware months ago that the state law would
keep them from enjoying the freedom they
had had FOR more than year. Without COM
menting at length on a law that prescribes
such regulations, this newspaper feels that
since the law is on the books it should be
observed to the letter until another oppor-
tunity comes when it can be revised.
If the City Council had permitted the an
nexation to be carried out, indianapolis would
be credited with just few more "taverns."
Without doubt there is vacant ground where
these taverns now stand and others would have
sprung up in this new area overnight
The operators of the places ere losing
money by not being able to sell beer and liquor.
But a survey of indianapolis will show that
there are sufficient places within the confines
of its limits for such pleasures without taking
on any more.
Annexation of property for the saloon bust
ness would have laid the City Council wide
open to many other schemes. The City Council
certainly acted wisely.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT

NTHILE other organizations are wrangling
over government funds. there is one
branch of the state government that seems to
be showing real accomplishment
That is the Indiana State Highway Com
mission.
Under the able direction of Chairman
James D. Adams and members of the commits
sion, the department is continuing to build up
the states reputation for good roads. The tax
payers Of Indiana don't hear much about the
highway commission but if they take a short
auto jaunt anywhere in the state, they see
some Of the progress made by that department.
The State Highway Commission is to be
praised for its sincere efforts to better road
conditions in Indiana. Other official divisions
of government should follow the example

THE AIR SHOW

THE whole city is invited Sunday to The

We, like so many thousands of other Hoo

the city, from all types of homes, North,
South, East and West, are members in this
great organization, dedicated to Americas

movement. Far from it. More than one
model airplane builder has bIossomed out into
famous designers of aircraft And by pro-
noting the knowledge Of model airplane build
ing we hope to instill in Indianapolis boys
complete liquidation in aeronautics, a founda-
ton that will teach them safety and care
We hope that more than a few of them
move up into the field of aviation and that
some of them will make valuable contributions
to the knowledge of aviation science

and party for you.

CHARITY, GIFTS AND TAXES

is difficult for us ever to get emotionally
wrought up in behalf of organized char
ity. We wish such thing were unnecessary
at all in this country We feel about organized
charity, with its case workers and its over
head, somewhat as did the poet John Bcyle
OReilly. who, if We recall his words correctly.
wrote:

In the name of a cautious. statistical Christ"
But it is another case of condition, not
theory Organized charity must be- in our
present scheme of things in this land of
plenty, where plenty got so badly out of joint.
And never was there greater need than now.

but a vast improvement over the old Slip

bill is now before Congress to give cor
porations the same privilege of tax exemption
for gifts that individuals are allowed The
issue has been complicated by statement
from the President, opposing corporation gifts
at ALL
We believe that complication doesn't be-
long in the consideration of the proposed law
The question is-if corporations do give, should
the gifts be taxed? We don't think they
should be, for the very simple reason that
the tax is a profit tax. By no conceivable
process that we are able to envision can gift
be gift and profit at the same time. Money
that has been given away is not profit.
Therefore. it should not be taxed as such.
Let that question be decided as thing in
itself and the altogether separate question of
whether stockholders money should be
given to organized charity at all be decided
also as thing in itself.

Strike Action Is Scored

To Gov. McNutt:
Wherever we have assembled
with business men or industrial
lists we have heard nothing but
condemnation of your every act
excepting one, they are delighted
with your display of force in
Terre Haute.
This class which appears to be
cOngenitally Republican used
every known device to prevent
your election. In spite of this you
were elected by a people seeking
a New Deal On the other hand,
articulate organized labor gave you
unstinted support which greatly
helped if not actually made pos
sible your election. You have
heretofore been considered laborS
friend and an honest advocate Of
a genuine New Deal. In their
press and in their assemblies they
have praised you for your too few
significant acts Of true social
value and they have been chary
with criticism Of your acts they
considered against their interest.
You may, Of course, dismiss the
contents of this letter as the
vaporings of a small group of
radical cranks, but it is the criti-
cism Of taXpaying citizens who
consider the use Of state militia
in Terre Haute wanton and
cruel abuse Of power given to you
by the very class that suffers
from this abuse.

The tax collector cares not if it takes
pocketful Of square tokens to buy square
meal, or a handful of doughnut-shaped ones
TO buy a sinker with coffee. Streaming from
millions of hands and pockets, they will float

SUGGESTS EAST-WEST
FEEDER LINE HERE
BY a Times Reader

By Times Reader
Merely as a business man who
rides all Indianapolis cars, Oeca me
interested in the Northwestern line
desire for an eaSt-WeSt feeder line
coming in on IllinOiS-st.
1 have checked the matter on foot
thoroughly and here is the answer.
Run a feeder loop on 31St-st, Cliff
ton, 37th-st. Crescent, Northwest
err, and go east on 31st-st to feed
into the Illinois line. This will give
entirely new service to 1000 people
now off the car lines, and will adj
ditionally accommodate $500 more
who object to riding over certain
rough streets to the south. The eX-
tension will cost the car company
$1A,7O0 to erect IA blocks Of new
wire, but will pay for itself in new
fares in one year. In a few weeks
I will circulate petitions having
these questions:
How many rides week do you
take now? How many rides a week
will you take with the new routing?
This line is to be gasoline feeder
as a test. Then trackleSS trolley If
it proves out 1t will take only one
bus to run feeder right away with

REBELLION

BY HARRIET SCOTT OLINICK
These have I loved and cherished,
holding dear:
A line of blunt hills catching at the
sky.
Beauty too sharply somber to defy.
The river sliding serpentine, and
queer,
Holding my eyes in worship shot
with fear.
The slow blue pause Of autumn,
torn with cry
Of wild geese honking farewell and
good-by
To love and light and surfeit Of the
year.
These have I loved, not questioning
their worth:
And thin blue streams Of smoke,
climbing the dusk,
To fling through space their reaping
of the earth.
These have I loved, not finding the
gray husk.
These must leave; this now know.
I can not take them with me where
go.
