Mr.. Roosevelt at the press confer
ence said there was no need to pass
the new program this week, but
made clear that he wanted it en-
acted before Congress adjourns.
The President, Speaker Joseph w.
Byrns and some other leaders held
that the way out of the confused
situation was for the House and
Senate to pass temporary nuisance
tax extension resolution which
would keep these levies in effect
while the new program was worked
out.
The difficulty with that plan was
that Democrats on the House Ways
and Means Committee still were in
rebellious mood because the
Roosevelt program was not left 70
them to initiate. Any new nuisance
tax resolution would have TO origi-
nate with that committee and it
was doubtful if they would report it.
The only other way to prevent
lapse of the nuisance taxes would be
for the Senate to pass the perma-
nent extension resolution, already
adopted by the House, without add
ing the new inheritance and income
levies. But if that were done, the
House would have to initiate the
Roosevelt program.
With the Ways and Means Com
mittee in its present mood, Mr.
Bryns predicted that course would
keep Congress in session until Sep
tember or October.

FROM NEW YORK TO
CITY FOR $1.75; IT'S
THAT DIESEL AGAIN

Clessie L. Cummins drove into
Indianapolis this morning in his
Diesel-powered passenger auto,
stopped long enough to remark
that fuel for the 1000 miles from
New York to this city had cost
about SITS, and then drove on to
Chicago.
Mr.. Curnmins drives the five
passenger sedan at about 40 to so
miles an hour, is making no spe-
cial effort at speed and expects to
arrive in Los Angeles about July /.
Mr.. Cummins, whose factory is
at Columbus, Ind, said that he
buys his crude oil at jobbing
plants around the country at a
price of cents a gallon. He is

STATE STUDIES
BAKERS STATUS
Lutz to Rule on Legality OF
Probation Officers
Appointment.

The legality of Criminal Judge
Frank P. Bakers action in appoint
ing Joel A. Baker as Marion Coun-
ty Criminal Court probation officer
in disregard of the state laws, to-
day was being studied by Atty. Gen.
Philip Lutz Jr. and his assistants.
William P. Cosgrove, chief exam
liner of the State Accounts Board,
submitted to Mr.. Lutz complete re-
ports of his field examiners on the
appointment of Joel A. Baker and
asked for instructions.
Mr.. Lutz Immediately assigned
Deputy Atty. Gen. Joseph Hutch
inson to prepare an opinion which
will be used as the basis for possible
state action.
The Indianapolis Times recently
disclosed that Joel A. Baker had
been appointed probation officer by
Judge Baker although state pro-
baton department records do not
show that he ever took the COM
petitive examination required by
1888 laws.
1t also was shown that no statu
tory authority had been discovered
authorizing the appointment of an
investigator, although at Judge
Bakers request $500 was trans
ferred by the County Council to the
Criminal Court investigators fund.
When the facts were brought to
his attention, Mr.. Cosgrove direct
ed the field examiners assigned to
Marion County Courthouse to sub
nit a complete report The re-
port submitted today contains
copies of all official records relat-
ing to the appointment.

THE PRICE OF PEACE

THE Anglo-French plan to stop the Italian
Ethiopian war by means of compromise
whereby all hands would cede something for the
sake of peace has given rise to tempest of pro-
test.
Ethiopia has rejected it while factions in Brit
ain and France, and all the smaller powers of the
League of Nations, assa it. If Italy is permitted
to get away with any of the territory she has in
vaded, they charge it will mean putting a premium
on aggression.
Unquestionably there is much to be said for this
argument. 1t would indeed, be wholesome lesson
to marauding nations the world over were the League
to go to with italy, if need. be- and force her
to disgorge.
But in fairness to Britain and France there
another side to the picture easy for the rest
OF us to become Indignant If the League finds it
necessary to force to subdue Mussolin it is not
we who would be the Leagues instrument and do
its fighting. but France and Britain.
And they want no war We can remind them of
ideals abandoned but they have perfectly good an
How about us sharing with them the risks of
peace? If a general conflict results, how many
ships, how many men and how much money will we
contribute?
Britain and France would have to bear the brunt.
We are not going to help them. Nor the small
nations. Britain and France, therefore, are NOR
tally afraid So deicately balanced is the peace of
Europe and Asia that were Britain to unlimber her
guns in the Mediterranean war might sweep the
world
The last big cost more than 100000
ualties. That is more than three times the entire
population of Ethiopia In money it has cost the
United States alone between so and so billion dol
ars-10 times the worth of the whole African king
DOM And still paying, all of us, and will
continue to pay, not merely in money but in social
unrest and human misery for a century to come.
Joseph Caiaux former French premier was
tried for treason because in the middle of the great
war he advocated a negotiated peace. He held that
if the war continued to its logical conclusion, it
would not only ruin Europe but the world. And he
was right. The war did go on and mankind set
back at least five decades
All peace save a dictated peace, is by COM
promise. Nobody gets all he wants. The longer the
war; the bigger the price all must pay, one way or
another
Ethiopia has utmost sympathy. She comes
pretty nearly having the sympathy of the whole
world. In fact the world has gone to unprecedented
lengths to save her Nevertheless the fact remains
that she and Italy at war and unless this
war can be stopped, and soon, Europe Asia and we.
ourselves may be drawn in Should that happen,
the price of peace might be civilization itself

STATISTICS?

GOVERNMENT spending and taxes in this coun-
try are bad enough certainly, and there are
grounds aplenty for just complaint But it is be-
You'd our understanding why organization such
as the United States Chamber of Commerce should
under the pretense of research, use a propaganda
brush to paint the picture blacker than it is
since, as Ben Marsh says, "ngratitude is sharp
er than Republicans TOOTH we are not surprised
when business men complain of government spend
ing to build roads, which are just SO many thou
sands OF miles of sales floor for the automobile
industry, nor when they complain of the cost of
sewer systems, without which the bathtub man
ufacturers would be operating on not even a pea
nut-stand volume
But we can hardly let pass unnoticed such a
comparison as this
All of the wages of all the salaries of all of the
people of the country, who are not on some govern
ment pay roll would defray the present costs of gov
ernment IN the United States for less than IL
months" r tts~ E..rt-t
Especially when we notice that no supporting
figures for this statement given and that as an
afterthought in the same report the Chamber of
Commerce says 1T is to be recognized that portion
OF the current expenditures is met by receipts from
income producing enterprises, realization of assets
and other sources than taxes and borrowings"
Which should mean, if it means anything, that
in its calculation of the tax burden the Chamber of
Commerce did not take into consideration the income
government receives from business operations such as
the postal service municipal power plants and water
systems
Would it not be just as fair to say that the gross
operating expenses of the business organizations
which contribute to the Chamber of Commerce are
gross drain on society? And then add as an after
thought that of course these businesses do have
some income do employ quite few people and do
perform other worthwhile services?

IOWAN ADDS VOICE TO
TOWNSEND PLEA

BY John G. Neyine, Cedar Rapids, Iowa
I am located in Iowa for while
but still read The Times as it seems
to me I get more real news out of
The Times than any other paper.
Conditions in Iowa are about the
same as in Indiana. I suppose it is
the same in every state. 1t looks as
If the New Deal is flop; billions of
dollars spent in the last three years
and no permanent relief in sight.
There are thousands of people who
have kept off relief by living up
their life savings who are being COM
PEELED to join the relief ranks now.
The relief rolls increased 534 in
Iowa alone in october, bringing the
total u to 35,003.
There are two plans the govern
ment has not tried that would bring
relief quickly: Soak the Rich and the
townsend Plan. There are very few
people who wish to see any one
soaked so why not try the Town
send Plan.
The enforced circulation of money
will restore employment and conse-
quently the buying power That is
all our country needs. It is a simple
but logical solution advocated by the
