SEEKS REAL" MEANING
OF ROOSEVELT EDITORIAL
By Howard Paine.

BY Howard Paine.
In your editorial, The President
Must Lead" First, who are the
calamity howlerS and chiselers? Are
they the group suffering on relief
(due to frozen industry and finance)
or the next strata, the small bust
ness men and farmers or the next
strata, the professional men?
A portion of your editorial would
indicate the President is losing pres
tige. Is that fact or fancy?
Your editorial also indicates in
the next breath that we are now
under Fascism when you state the
fate of more than one hundred mil
lion people or individuals is almost
completely in the hands Of Franklin
D. Roosevelt. How true?
To what "labor's rights" and
Social Security Bill for unemploy-
ment insurance and old-age pen
sions do you have reference? May I
answer the Lewis Wagner bill. How
much security does it offer? None.
In closing, I am open to teach
ings based on facts with open de-
bate and no gag rule. How about
portion of JefferSonian Democracy
again?
I am anticipating a reply enlight-
ening enough and educational
enough that I may continue as a
subscriber to The Indianapolis
Times.

RELIEF POLITICS

THARGES of politics in relief are piling up.
~ They will multiply in bitterness as the
1886 election nears. Whether these charges
prove effective weapons in the hands of Ad-
ministration opponents will depend on how
the Administration meets them.
Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins, sin
cere and efficient, has been doing a good job.
There is little likelihood that he will come off
second best in his current tits with the Gov
errors of Georgia and Louisiana.
Georgia's Legislature, dominated by the re-
dictionary Gov. Talmadge, adjourned without
making relief appropriation. Since the Fed
eral government has to carry the whole bur-
den, Mr.. Hopkins appropriately took the man
agement of relief funds away from the Tai
madge machine.
For somewhat similar good reasons, Mr.
Hopkins has placed Louisiana relief in the
hands of a Federal official who will not be
answerabe to the Huey Long machine.
But the argument is not all on one side
in Mr. Hopkins controversies with Illinois and
Pennsylvania authorities In those states and
in others, he is dealing with problem brought
on by the Administration lack of definite
relief yardstick. Illinois and Pennsylvania are
rich states, capable of shouldering their share
of the relief burden. Mr.. Hopkins demand
that they do so is justified But they have the
ready argument that other states, especially in
the South-which talk more of state rights
than of state responsibility-are permitted to
unload practically all relief upon the Federal
government.
1t is true that some Southern states are
poor. But it is also true that the Federal gov
eminent can not successfully do business with
48 states under 48 separate sets of rules. Some
standard must be fixed and adhered to, even
to the point of stopping Federal assistance to
those states which refuse to cooperate.
Perhaps when the Federal government
shows it means business, the people will take
care Of their own state officials. The people
may make life uncomfortable for the dcta-
torial Talmadges and Longs. And they may
uphold such Governors as Earle of Pennsyl-
vania and Marland of Oklahoma, who are
trying to cooperate, but are blocked by their
Legislatures.
With the Federal government now assum-
ing most of the joint relief burden, certainly
the states-all of the states-should welcome
the opportunity to cooperate to the fullest.

WE HAVE NO COMPLAINT

TNHE fact that the British government is
u going to be able to reduce income taxes
next year in spite of increased military ex-
penditures, as evidenced by Neville Chamber
lains outline of the new budget in the
House of Commons may make American
taxpayers wish enviously that our govern
ment could discover some way of doing
likewise.
However, before We grow too envious, it is
well to compare existing American income
tax rates with those in England.
The American income tax, for a married
man without dependents, begins at ali earned
income level of $4,000 year. on which man
pays So. In England, it begins with $1,000
incomes. The rate there is 1888; for $4,000 it
is s272.S1 for $4,000, on which the American
pays $50, the Britisher must pay $63281.
The British government may be about to
reduce income taxes-but it will have to reduce
them more drastically than any one dreams
of doing before the British taxpayer will get
of as lightly as does the American

WAR TALK

nURING the last three or four years, the
~ average American came to recognize the
word japan as a synonym for trouble.
Japan was doing this, that, or the other
thing In China and Manchuria; Japan was re-
fusing to abide by the Washington treaty; ia
pan was fortifying inundated islands in the
Pacific; some day Japan and the United States
would get together and fight it all out
That was the burden of most public refer
ences to Japan in this country And since cuI-
tivation of an attitude like that is necessary
prelude to war, it all had a pretty ominous
sound
But OF late the keynote seems to have
changed. We are beginning to hear talk about
cooperation instead of talk about rivalry.
Some one seems to have remembered that
Japan is one Of our best customers in the mat
ter Of foreign trade, and that fixing to fight
your best customer is about the poorest known
way of promoting trade revival.
The recent argument over japanese exports
OF textiles lends point to this matter.
Japanese textile mills have been working
overtime. They have sent finished goods in
such additionally English markets as India
and China. They have sent them to South
America, where both British and American
mills have done business; of late they have
even begun to send them into the United
States itself.
This has led to protests and the protests
have led to determination Of our trade re-
lations with the Mikados empire
Now the Japanese foreign office points out
that whatever the japanese mills may do with
their finished product, they at least buv most
OF their raw material from American produc-
ers
During recent years. for instance. Amer
lea has sold approximately s1OOOOOOOO worth
of raw cotton to Japan annually. These sales
constitute the largest single item in Americas
agricultural export trade
Last year the United States sales of cot
ton TO Japan outvalued the total of all jan
anese exports to the United States.
In this connection it is worth remembers
ing that Secretary Of State Hull and Foreic,,
Minister Hirots last year exchanged letters
agreeing that there is no good cause for fric-
ton between the nations; and it is also note
worthy that the japanese are anxious to con-
clude new treaty with the United States
working out non-competitive basis for the
foreign commerce of the two countries.
All this is worth remembering for the
simple reason that 1t points in the direction Of
peace instead Of war. Our navy NAV foo,
lustihed IN holding its maneuvers in the Pa
cine; these figures indicate that the danger Of
war is only superficial and that underneath
there are most solid and substantial reasons
Tor keeping the two nations at peace.

SATURDAY. APRIL 20. 1885.
THE SECURITY BILL

THE modified social security bill passed by
l. the House yesterday is inferior to the
original Roosevelt plan. But it is much better
than Utopian schemes of the Townsend type,
or such present makeshifts as poorhouses and
doles.
AS revised, the bill provides Federal sub
sides up to SIS monthly for each needy person
past IS or 70, to be matched by the states This
is a tremendous forward step for individual
istic America 1t offers smaller subsidies for
dependent and crippled children, maternal
and infant care, public health Industry is TO
care for its temporary unemployed, and for
its veterans. through Federally collected pay
roll taxes.
Doubtless the Senate will try to improve
the House measure 1t is urged that the board
to administer old-age subsidies, annuities ard
iobless insurance be returned to the Depart
ment Of Labor as in the original Admins
tration bill; that the huge contributory Old-age
annuity fund be supplemented by government
contributions to tighten the burden on younger
wage-earners; that the Federal government
be empowered to impose stricter personnel
administrative and social standards on the
states. Most of these changes should be made.
At the same time reactionary Senators pro-
pose to emasculate the measure.
This must legislation of the Admins
tratiOn should not be blocked-either by the
perfectionists or the reactionaries. The United
States is so years behind some European coun-
tries in establishing a social security system
This reform should be passed quickly.
There will be plenty of time next year,
and then next, to improve it.

post. As matter Of fact. It has vast stretches
Of fertile soil. many lakes and rivers aid for
ests, and the section TO which these families
are going gets less cold in winter than does
northern Michigan. The summer is short, but
much sunlight and plenty Of moisture bring
abundant crops.
To be sure. it Is no picnic that these 1885
pioneers are beginning. Going TO a new coun-
try is always hard. There will be isolation
sense Of being infinitely removed from familiar
scenes and places, the necessity to work hard
for a small reward
But all that is better than staying on re-
lief. hoping fruitleSsly that something will
happen somehow to cancel old debts and put
a new light of hope in the sky.
Staying on relief for long time does some
thing to people. 1t removes that sense Of self
reliant independence which is the Americans
most priceless traditional possession.
SO it is a wise thing that the government
Is doing, in promoting the settlement of Alas
ka. Not only does it begin to tap the great
resources Of that territory in a new way; it
also enables at least few of our citizens to
get away from the numbing charity of public
relief and regain their old independence
BY itself it is a good thing; as sample of
a new way of meeting the relief problem it is
even better.

THE FIRST CALL

nUT of the big works relief fund voted by
~ Congress to save the morale of jobless
Americans, Secretary of Labor Perkins is ask
ing S96000,0O0 to help educate some of the
depresSion's victims among the young.
Following a youth survey, requested by
Congress and conducted by the Children's Bu-
reau, the Secretary would allot So, 100000 to
the Office of Education for scholarships, books
and incidentals for 100000 needy boys and
girls of 16 and H. She would spend sS437o,-
600 in training 100000 youths between 1S and
"a in their own communities under the public
works authority.
Another s1,0O0OOO would go to training
camps for 1000 transient youths and s25O0,0OO
would be spent by the U S. Employment Serv-
ice in special placement services for juniors.
Continuation of aid to college students and ex-
panded educationa. services under the CCC
are also urged
The Children's Bureau estimates that
there are 100000 to 100000 young people
between 1s and "a out of school and job.
Secretary Perkins program, Of course, will
not rescue all of them, but it can give many
discouraged young people a new grip upon
life.

creating the greatest number of jobs.
One of the first things to get under way

THE CITY'S AIRPORT

HE active support of every citizen inter-
ested IN the future of Indianapolis as an
aviation center should be placed behind eff
forts of the indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce and Airport Superintendent Charles
E. Cox JrY in their efforts to have Municipal
Airport made a.Department of Commerce
blind" flying experimental field.
indianapolis Municipal Airport already holds
the highest Department of Commerce airport
ratlng-A1A-and is recognized generally as
one of the model fields of the country.
However, if Mr.. Cox and the Chamber are
successful in having the Department of Com
merce select the local airport for the ex-
perimental work, it is probable that many
improvements to the field will be made with
Federal funds
1t Is expected the Department of Com
MERGE will lengthen and enlarge concrete run
ways and install special radio and other equip
ment at the fields selected for experimental
work.
indianapolis airport is composed of nearly
1000 acres, but only a portion of the acreage
actually is used for airport purposes.
With larger and larger transport planes be-
ing built, it soon will be necessary to utilize
all of the airport to increase the safety fac
tor for the larger ships
Aside from giving this city an airport ex-
celled by few anywhere, these improvements
would provide needed employment for a num-
Der of the city's jobless.
Altogether, the decision of the Chamber to
cooperate in the plan is thoroughly commend
able and is worthy of support by every one
interested in the future OF indianapolis and
the community.

BUSINESS SHOULD BE
REWARDED FOR EMPLOYMENT
By Warren A. Benedict Jr.

Unemployment continues to be
the country's biggest problem, de-
spite the governments huge ex-
penditures. Yet so far as can
find, little real encouragement is
given employers to increase their
pay rolls.
Why not consider a plan like this:
Let the government, Federal and
state, rebate to employers, large and
small, a portion, possibly say from
10 to 40 per cent Of taxes collected
with the provision it be used solely
for additional labor. This would
enable employers, from the largest
concern to the small farmer, to en-
ploy additional help at no extra ex-
pense. Of course it would reduce
revenue, but no more than it would
reduce the need for it. Most of US
still feel that the average business
man. given some encouragement,
can make the employment dollar
go farther than can the politician.
Try rewarding business for in
creasing employment, and you'll get
results at fraction Of the cost we're
now paying.
Maybe this plan has some valid
objections, but 1 challenge any one
to prove it has less merit than kill
ing pigs. blowing under crops, pay

the horrors that naturally fol-

the screams from the caves were
heartrending; three children were

This awful massacre and crime

willing and able to do tina you
most certainly should refrain from
referring to it as being fantastic.
Thousands of people who called
the ideas of Fulton, Morse, Bell,

others fantastic lived to see the day
when they we're ashamed of their
words. Most all newspaper editors
who attack the Townsend plan en-
ploy the same methods that you do

coed to show wherein it really is
fantastic.

good record of championing the

you have never hesitated to step

DIR. BARNES AID TO
HUMANITY is LAUDED

By III. L..
To E. o. Harold:
Thank you for your efforts to
protect the public against dishon-
esty and greed. Welcome into our
ranks! But, we will have to insist
that you fire your "shots" at our
enemies and not at our wise and
courageous general, DR.. Harry FL
mer Barnes.
1t is a joy to answer your ques-
ton relative to the motives and
interests of this just man. He is
controlled by "the interests" that
hold the stars in their courses.
A man acts according to that
which he believes DR.. Barnes be-
Iieves chat we are created by God
of truth who demands justice of
His children. He lives in that thrill
ing conception that he is part of
this great plan of creation whose
loving purpose is to give a full.
abundant and radiant life of hap
piness to the children of creation.
He has found life by forgetting
himself and giving himself to the
emancipation of his fellow men.
This he does by seeking current
and historical facts and eternal
truths that will stir the conscience
and direct the thinking of men and
women into channels that are pleas
ing to a God of truth, goodness and
loving tenderness.
Read his column every day. Note
well how he throws his power on
the side of the weak and oppressed
those who are least able to re-
turn his favors. Study his efforts
to be fair and truthful. Live in mis-
moods of righteous indignation, sin
certify and greatness.

1t took you long time to declare
your stand on Father Coughlan and

The way editors Of such papers,

the preferential street. Most of the
time the cop is not close enough to
the intersection and can not be
sure whether or not the wheels did
stop turning.
Furthermore if a motorist does
slow down to a walk and then
energies safely on to a preferential
street, that does not make him
criminal. A motorcycle cop who ar
rests a motorist for that has no
principle at all: he is a menace to
society, Is not worthy of a job, and
should be on a basket.
This business is getting worse and
is imposed by the vultures OF the
law on to the very people who make
their jobs possible.
