Coughlin has a definite plan; he
wants to preserve all that is good
in capitalism, which, as you know.
is the initiative and acquisitiveness
Of the individual He hopes to avoid
the ills of socialistic dictators.
Our capitalistic system is built
around the right of property. Capt.
tai should have income, of course,
but only on a participating basis;
"a share of the crop" basis, not from
mere lapse Of time GnteresO. Under
present conditions, capital, including
bank depoSitors and holders of
bonds, notes and mortgages, demands
liquidations and sell outs" if inter
est income is not Forthcoming. Banks
themselves are the victims of the
adder they nourish. Our capital de-
stroys the men of vision. courage and
enterprise, able and willing to lead
and direct the many producers of
wealth who make prosperity pos
sible. 1t would be just as consist
ent to destroy the thoroughbred rae
ing sires to promote the racing
game. We need more preachers like
Father Coughlin, who know history
economics and the Bible.
Father Coughlin's plan is a poten-
TALLY possible savior of all that is
good in capitalism, but the (Re)
publicans and some Democrats call
him demOgog, and Senator Bailey
f1guratively spits on him.
When Christ offered a new philos-
Ophy Of life based on "humanities"
they "spat upon Him." called Him
demagOg and crucif1ed Him. Have
we made no progress in 1000 years?

HERE'S URGENT PLEA FOR
DAYLIGHT SAVING
BY 7. ]. Kelly.

ny l. D. htuys
Regarding daylight saving time,
why should Indianapolis be out of
step with the rest of our country by
not complying with daylight saving?
We are out of line in a great
number of things, the most impor-
tant of which are the radio pro-
grams and travelling. When we go
from one state to another we lose
or gain time, which is not profit
able to US. We should go along
with the rest of our border states.
We should also be interested in
employees and the working class of
people, along with the executives,
having a little more recreation in
the daylight in the evening, when
we can do so many things that make
life more pleasant to live in the
beautiful summer time
I believe the people of Indianapo-
lis are in favor Of daylight saving
at the ratio Of three to one. 1t is a
shame that this has been kept back
from our citizens this length of time.
I believe if The Times would put
on a program TO have a vote on this
and then put it up to our city Off
Gals, We would have Indianapolis in
line with the rest Of our country by
having daylight saving time.

LOOK AT THE RECORD

ONE after another, speakers mount the
~ roStrum at the United States Chamber of
Commerce meeting and assail the New Deal
which rescued American business from bank
ruptcy. The gratitude of these business ora
tors is exceeded only by their shortsightedness.
we can not have recovery and reform
both. Mr.. President" they say. Let us alone
and we'll give you recovery. Then reform can
come later. Quit meddling with the banks.
Quit bothering the utilities. Quit spending so
much money
Strangely the speakers never attempt to
explain how if reforms had not come first,
business could ever have gained the measure of
recovery that now bleSSeS it. They do not
mention the obvious truth that the nations
banks are today open and doing business with
a confident public largely because the Admin
is,ration first overhauled the banking structure
Business was left alone by the Hoover Ad-
Binstration. Did it bring recovery? What
was the status Of the farm industry and the
oil industry before the New Deal production
control reforms? What was the value of farm
and home mortgages before the government
stepped in? What confidence did the public
have in the securities market before the gov
eminent put check reins on the ms nipuators?
Utility holding companies. in the hands of
such men as insult, conducted perhaps the
most shameless legal looting OF investors in
history. As a positive recovery measure"
President Roosevelt now urges reform of the
system to insure to utility investors and utility
customers fair deal. SO with the rest of his
economic program.
Recovery. these business men admit de-
pends largely upon public confidence. They
have not vet discovered that public confidence
depends largely upon reforms.

gave him certain powers which he
is using for the benefit of the
people concerned. AS has been
shown ever since election, men,
bers of the defeated party have
been hard losers. They. like Mr..
Hoover, can't believe the public no
longer needs them.
We, the majority of voters, be-
lieve with our present trustee that
these weak teachers, who have
been placed there before, through
politics. should be replaced by
tetter teachers. We have had ex-
cellent teachers in this township
whose unemployment has been
traced clearly to political differ
ences. We believe with Mr.. Hohlt
that our high school leadership
would be greatly improved by Mr..
Curtis whose character and Gre
dentials are above reproach.
I would like to ask The Times
to investigate thoroughly through
other channels than the defeated
party, before coming to such
drastic conclusions. Every one who
read The Times last night knew
Immediately to whom those re-
porterS had been talking.

THURSDAY. MAY ?. 1885.
so THIS Is DEMOCRACY

A LARGE ma jority in Congress wants TO en-
"a act Federal anti-lyncLing law. A large
ma iority of the citizens Of the country favor
such a law. This has been so for many years.
Then why isn't there a law? Since this is
democracy in which Congress is elected by pop
ular majorities and IN which Congress Itself
acts by majority rule. how could the Senate
yesterday throw out the anti-lynching bill and
prevent majority rule?
Well. it seems that ours is a democracy in
text books and Fourth of July orations, but not
in the Senate. There periodically, it is possible
to rule by minority dictatorship. The method
is not the one of stuffing the ballot box. or of
kidnapping or terrorzing the majority so that
the minority can palm itself of as the major
ity The method j. y Ich simpler The minor
ity merely decree e. lere shall be no vote
at all. This is acme. 4 under the rule of I'M
limited debate by which the minority talks a
measure to death. 1t forces the majority to
turn to other emergency legislation acceptable
to the minority dictators.
While congratulating the Southern Sen
ators on the effectiveness Of their dictatorship,
we venture to raise the question for their con-
siderauOn: Is it wise, from their point of view,
to kick democracy in the face quite so publicly
at this particular time?
Granting that they have got away with it
for many years, hasn't there been a recent
change in the public temper which makes this
sort of thing somewhat dangerous? Wouldn't it
have been wiser from their point Of view. for
instance, to give the Negro lynch victim the
nominal protection of Federal law and then
nullified the law as they nullify the Negroes
constitutional right to vote?
We are interested in this question because
we understand that these Southern Senators
are fearful of the spread of radicalism, espe-
cially among Negroes. The radicals are said
to be telling the Negroes and the poor white
share-croppers and mill hands of the South
that democracy is a fake, that there is no such
thing as representative government in this
country, that democracy is only camouflage for
dictatorship by their enemies. Aren't those
radical agitators just mean enough to prove
this point in the minds of ignorant Negroes
and whites by citing the dictatorship of those
few Southern Senators thwarting the mass
democratic Will of the American people and of
the majority of Congress?
Admitting, from the point of view Of these
Southern Senators, that Negroes must continue
to be robbed of Constitutional rights, couldn't
they find a safer method? After all, the Ne
groes are one-tenth Of the national population
and in many places they are majority With
all this talk of radicalism and some of the OPP
pressed actually demanding their rights, per-
haps it would be safer for the country to hold
out enough hope of democracy to them to dis
courage more violent weapons.
Anyway, it may be matter worth thinking
about while these Southern Senators are pat
ting themselves on the back, secure in their
dictatorship-secure for the moment.

I was greatly shocked to see the
editorial and Times writeup' on
the Perry Township school con-
troversy. For a newspaper of as
high standing as The Times to
take up the political fight of a
discredited tWo-by four politician,
without thoroughly investigating
is a grievous mistake. His candi-
date for trustee was decisively
defeated in the last primary and
the citizens of Perry Township
showed at the last general cleo
ton that they could defeat the
combined forces of the Repub-

sitions at the same time and is

SEES TRADE-IN CODE AS
STIFLING BUSINESS


BY C. d. NJ.
Who is responsible for the
N. A. D. A. Code placed on used
cars? Back a very few years ago an
automobile owner could receive a
cash value on his car for just about
what it was worth. Of course, COM
petition was keen and the motorist
traded where he could get the best
bid for his old car. but the dealers
made money and the customer was
satisfied.
A short time ago, I took my car,
a 1884 model, down to see how
much I could realize on it on new
car. The salesman who approached
me, casually informed me that 1
could get only 1920 on new car.
Today my auto is only eight
months old and as a new car with
six miles on the speedometer cost
me 1858. AS you can see, such a
drop is clear out Of proportion and I
told the salesman so. He replied
that the "code" would not permit
them to allow me any more under
penalty of a $500 fine.
According to the code, my car is
worth the same on trade-in
whether it has 5000 or 10000 miles
on its speedometer, providing it is
the same year model 1t is worth
the same 1920 if it is four months
old as it is if it is one year old
If my tires are new, I am not given
any extra value. If they are thread
bare, get a cut off the 1920 trade
in allowance.
1t looks to me like if they are go
ing to devise codes under which
business is to be conducted, they
would try to be fair to the motoring
public. 1t seems as if the N. A. D. A.
Code was drawn up for the protec-
ton of the dealers only.
Recently, a friend of mine traded
in a 1929 car with 10000 miles on
the speedometer for an allowance of
$267. His car has deprecated S535
in four years, nine months. Mine
has deprecated $3.50 in eight
months. On the used car market,
his car will bring no more than $3.50,
I know, and mine is new enough to
bring at least $525.
1t appears that we have a bunch
of gyp artists on our staff of code
makers. The New Deal is a square
deal for many lines of business, and
wholly approve of the Presidents
efforts to clamp down on big bust
ness speculation, unemployment.
etc. But the New Deal to the mo-
torist is becoming a dirty deal. 7
will just keep my car for while
and so will lot of others.

NORGE PROVED
MERIT DURING
HARD SEASON
Last Summer Conceded to
Have Been One for
Real Test.

The name Norge was given the
Rollator Refrigerator as symbol
Of constant and dependable cold.
with ample surplus power to meet
all conditions, reminiscent of the
great airship Norge which made its
wav to the North Pole in the inter
est of science.
According to Louis Rainier, man
ager Of the refrigerator department
at the Banner Whitehill Furniture
Co. store, where the complete line
of Norge electric refrigerators are
or display. the usual cause of most
mechanical wearing out is the rub
bling of one metal part against an
other. In the rollator compressor,
the Norge Borg Warner Corp. dis
covered what to it seemed a COM
pressor that could never wear out,
cream of mechanical engineers for
years. It's working parts move
slowly, submerged in bath Of oil"
The rollator principle Of construc-
ton consists Of a roller-shaped piece
moving slowly and easily in cylin-
der, not even touching the inner
diameter of the cylinder wall
Therein is an easy rubbing motion
at the ends of the roller and slow,
short. easy motion where the blade
touches the roller. Perfect and COM
plete fabrication is attained by COM
plete submersion in oil.
Thousands of Indianapolis persons,
wear after year, write to dealers of
their Joyous experience with Norge
rollator refrigeration. Even during
last summer, which was conceded to
be one of the most trying for many
years, Norge continued to supply
more cold and more power than was
required to meet the unusual con-
dit:ons. The Norge slogan, Powered
for the Tropics" was indelibly reg
istered.
It has always been apparent Ban
ner-W hitehiu officials say, that If
we were to live up to the great
ideal of pleasing the American
home manager, it would be neces-
sary to offer a vitality distinctive
refrigerator. Carefully exploring
the average home managers de-
sires. we found that the Norge Rol-
lator Refrigerator has been designed
with eminent distinction in me-
chanism. beauty, convenient fea-
lures, and economy of operation.

net rises in symphonic lines to a
