LOS ANGELES, July l. {U.D -
In a precedent upsetting decision
the Los Angeles county board OF
supervisors, preparing to sit as a
board of equalization, ruled today
that revision of final valuations Of
real and personal property as fixed
by the county assessor must be de
termined solely on a basis Of value
The decision was a distinct blow
to hundreds of charitable and fra
ternal organizations which pre-
viously have been granted eXemp-
tions Last year the exemptions eX-
ceeded $7,OO0,0O0.
The stand of the supervisors was
made on a recent ruling of county
counsel that such exemptions were
illegal and in the face of threats
of taxpayers to file suits in event
the practice of exemptions was
continued.
The board previously had grant,
ed exemption on the ground the
charitable and fraternal organiza-
tions performed a public service.
Hit by the new ruling will be the

NINE STRIKE
AVVERTED WITH
MONTH TRUCE

WASHINGTON. July l UP) -
With threat of an immediate strike
Of 100000 soft coal miners lifted. the
joint wage conference of miners and
| operators marked time today while
! congress rushed action on the Cuff
fey coal bill
The miners will continue at work
under a 30-day "armistice" agreed
to at a Saturday night conference
/ between representatives of opera
tors, miners and Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins, A previous ex-
! tension expired at midnight last
night.
John L. Lewis. president of the
United Mine Workers, said in agree
! ing to the extension that he was
doing SO in difference to President
Roosevelt's wishes. operators
though not bound by the agreement,
were expected to abide by it gen.
orally.
Duncan Kennedy, chairman OF
the operators committee, said he
believed operators would adhere to
the agreement. The operators pre-
viously had proposed a nine months
extension of wage and hour con-
tracts which expired last April l,
and have been thrice extended.
The miners have demanded a 10
per cent wage increase and a re-
duction of the work week from 35
to 80 hours. Operators refused, con-
tending the present unsettled status
of the industry would not permit
this.
Negotiations were expected to be
resumed after congress acts on the
Guffey bill creating little "NRA"
for the coal industry. The bill is
supported by the United Mine
Workers and some operators. 1t is
on President Roosevelt's must list.

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-01-09

Of a great decision by the American people.
This decision is, simply, that the difficult
times of the last four years are altogether too
difficult to be endured again.
That is to say that the people generally do
not intend to put up with repetition Of that
era Of declining pay rolls, declining living
standards, declining bank accounts, and gen.
eral, all-round hardship.
They may have only the foggiest of no
tons how TO prevent it, but they are de-
termined to prevent it somehow; and the re-
suit is a demand for legislation which may be
completely illogical, but which can not be
defeated by mere argument.
Unless Congress and the Administration
can agree on some program which gives fair
promise of protecting the average man from
the cruelties of hard times the sentiment
which supports these measures will continue
to gather strength.
That is the important thing to remember.
There is very little real chance that our Gov
eminent Will adopt law, for instance, pay
ing $500 month to every American over so
years Of age.
But unless the Government understands
why such law is demanded, and does some
thing about it, we may find ourselves passing
a much worse law than that a few years
hence.

PUBLIC Discomfort

VOU can work up a healthy little nightmare
l. for yourself, if that sort of diversion in
terests you. by sitting down quietly and mag
ming what would happen if, by some freak
OF chance, all the wild and woolly bills pend
ing i'll Congress should become law.
Suppose. for instance. that the Townsend
old-age peSsion plan. the 50-hour week bill,
the greenbacS-bonus bill. and measure pro-
vidng for widespread unemployment insur-
anoe financed by a stiff pay roll LAX should be
ps ssed and should be signed by the President
o. passed over his veto.
Simply to mediate on the resultant tsngle
in governmental and industrial finance is
enough TO make one start looking for the
nearest cyclone cellar.
OF course. there is no use in getting
steamed up about it. because, while one OF
these measures may get through the hopper,
there simply isn't a Chinaman's chance that
they all will.
But the important thing is to think of what
these various bills represent. and not of what
their chances for becomin, law may be.
Behind these measures there is a great
body Of public sentiment which may be con-
fused. misguided. and somewhat thoughtless.
but which nevertheless represents the making

THE TUGWELL MYTH

VERY little has been heard recently of
mild-mannered DR.. Rexford Guy Tugweu
who was subjected last winter to a farcical
trial on charges of political heresy before the
Senate confirmed his appointment as Under
secretary of Agriculture.
The decline of the Tugwe1l myth was. of
course, inevitable, for those who portrayed him
as menace" and communist" did not
know of what nor of whom they were talking.
his the people soon found out by reading
few of the former college professors speeches
and magazine articles.
These speeches and articles, with some new
material, appear in book stores this week
under the title, THE Battle for Democracy"
Columbia University Press.
Here we find DR.. Tugweu indulging in such
little quips of free speech as: The world was
not made for bankers-a lesson they have had
to be taught by legislation"
1t is a mild, philosophical volume, much of
it written and spoken during the months when
the New Deal was in ferment and he was its
most pubcized prophet Read together these
treatises on questions of the hour reveal man
who believes firmly in democracy and is bold
enough to suggest that it be given trial
What DR.. Tugwell thought of his notoriety
as the big, bad wolf of the Roosevelt revolution
is told in his report of a conversation with a
friend following an especially bitter newspaper
attack. Here are excerpts:
The die-hards always have to have goat
Unfortunately, through no fault of my own,
I'm it. The game is, of course, to pick us off
one by one and gradually work toward the
center. I'm vulnerable because Americans
don't love pedagogues and seem to be one.
Il can't make this Park Avenue, country
club life seem right, along with slums and bread

industrial and scientific civilization. It seems
10 me that electricity, vacuum tubes, Diesel
engines and all these other things ought to
make it possible for all of us to approximate
that no-riches, no-poverty kind of life in
which I grew up"
In addition to THE Battle for Democracy"
the same publisher has brought out another
book edited by DR.. TugweIl and Leon H. Key
Serling, titled ''Redirecting Education"
This is series of stimulating essays by
teachers in Columbia College, who have been
trying to coordinate social subjects into
comprehensive and related course on con-
temporary civilization The idea is that edu-
cation must be more than decorative, that it
must be preparation for and part of Twen-
tieth Century life
Dr. Tugwell, in the opening chapter on
Social Detectives in Education, admits that
social science is not very far advanced as

TRUTH IN FICTION

OsCAR WILDE, or somebody once re-
~ marked that nature mimics art; by which,
of course, he meant that whereas a writer of
fiction may invent happening which sounds
utterly improbable and fantastic, if we wait
long enough we shall see the happening dupli-
Gated in real life.
In that sprightly comic strip, "Freckles,"
there has recently been an episode in which
some one dropped. revolver cartridges into the
coal tender of a railway train. The fireman
subsequently shoveled some of these into the
fire box along with the coal; they exploded,
and a man was shot.
Did it sound somewhat improbable? Per-
haps. But just the other day Baltimore police
reported that a woman met her death in al
most precisely the same way.
In some manner, a loaded cartridge fell
into. a wastebasket and was tossed into the
furnace. When The woman vent down to
put coal on the fire, the cartridge went of and
she was fatally shot.
Once more, life duplicated the seemingly
far-fetched invention of the artist.

A PEACE PROP

"DETAILS OF the Franco-Italian agreement
l. are hay and details count in such mat
tiers. If and when the texts of these pacts
are published the public will have a better
chance of judging their value.
1t is not clear, for instance, whether the
r two powers have come to a definite under
standing on the dispute between Italy and
Abyssinia which the latter has appealed to the
League of Nations. Again, Foreign Minister
Laval denies that he and Mussolini have
agreed to legalize the present re-arming by
Germany provided Hitler returns to the league
and joints the new non-intervention pact.
Despite these and other obScurities, however,
1t is clear that France and Italy have begun
to work together This is very important. For
hostility between these two has been one of
the major war dangers Of Europe-hostility
over naval competition, conflicting African
colonial ambitions and power in central Eu-
rope.
According to the news reports inspired by
French and Italian officials, the series of new
pacts include the following:
!. Agreement to consult on all questions in
volving the European interest. including
threats to the independence of Austria.
3 A non-intervention treaty. which Aus
tria and the Little Entente nations are also
expected to sign-snd perhaps Germany.
3. Three African agreements in which
France and Italy make certain territorial and
commercial concessions to each other, with
Italy receiving much the better part of the
bargain.
In general the play seems to have been for
France to buy Italian support in Europe by
granting Mussolini fairly free hand for i'm
perialist expansion in Africa. Of course the
ghost at the feast was none other than II
Duces imitator and former friend, Herr Hitler.
The Nszi dictator. by trying to drive through
Austria. has revived Italy's old fear of a Ger
many at her own border. So-for the moment
at any rate-Hitler has forced France and
Italy to come together against him.
Unseemly and dangerous as all of this i'm
perialist trading and balance of power di-
plomacy may appear to the international
purist, who had hoped that the days of alli-
ances and counter-aliances were past, the
Franco-Italian agreements are at least tenn
porary prop for a precarious peace.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-01-09

these panaceas? The most common
proposal for the old-age pension is
the adoption of per cent sales
tax. This tax would decrease the
wage earners' purchasing power by
2 per cent and place that amount in
the hands of a pension recipient.
This would not increase purchasing
power. That is why the Townsend
plan would fail to increase produc-
ton as its sponsors promise.
Under capitalism production can
not be increased until purchasing
power is increased. To increase
purchasing power taxes must be
levied upon unspent income and not
upon that which is being spent.
Deny this if you can.
For the unemployment insurance
fund our So-called wise men are de-
batting whether it should be paid for
by the employe, the employer, or by
both. The following statement can
not be refuted. In the final analysis
it will be paid for by the employe
regardless of how it is collected. If
it is collected from the employer by
pay roll tax, it will be figured into
the cost of production, thereby rails
ing prices.
The employe would thus be the
loser as his wages would remain the
same. If it is collected from the
employe it will still mean a decrease
in purchasing power. and the cap
italist profit system will still be out
of balance. I challenge any one to
