T United STATES Supreme Court justices now
~ come at 100000 a year. That's what they
cost the taxpayers
The cost has more than doubled with the courts
removal to its marble building.
Figuring in terms of cases-the court handles
approximately 1000 year-it costs the taxpayers
sS40 case to settle these arguments about four
tiths of them involving private litigation over prop
erty rights.
Most of the justices time however, is del oted to
approximately 200 term which are found to
involve major legal problems Casting aside the 800
others at few dollars, each of the 200 costs some
$4,000
The amount appropriated for the current year
by Congress is $51o0S0 of which s416OO0 is for
salaries of the court and its staff, s49oS0 for care
of the buildings and grounds s25 900 for misceane
expenses, and $4,000 for printing and binding
To this must be added the interest charges on
the peoples capital investment of s11 900 in the
building, which at per cent is s33oOOO This makes
total of sS40O80
Two years ago the courts operation took an
appropriation of only s3l5173 out of which the
justices then, now paid $4,000 each, with
the Chief Justice getting an added $500
Much Of the added appropriation is taken up by
about 100 employees, including many guards and
about 40 charwomen
The new building is more popular with tourists
who have been thronging the building daily than
with the justices themselves Justice Brandes and
one or two others have indicated they will not move
into tie oak paneled Office suites complete with
snower-baths, reserved for each of the nine. They
will continue to work at home. Others including
Chief Justice Hughes, are at work in the new
chambers.

RETURN TO INDIANA
BY McCREADY HUSTON
Chief Editorial Writer

GETTING back TO Indiana is getting home. l am
~ not native, but IL years in the state made
me feel like one Yet those II years did not
vince me as they should have I had to go away to
learn.
Getting back to indianapolis is something I
never lived mere; my previous incarnation in the
state spent in st. Joseph County But was
here often; and here l had such kindly friends
Hewitt Howiand Meredith Nicholson was
another. The late Albert j. Beveridge hefriended
Inc voluntarily when I was trying to make a be-
ginning as writer. Then there Kin Hubbard,
and D. l.. Chambers. Hewitt Howlands charming
home in New York was often refuge for me when
l was doing newspaper work there after leaving
Indiana.
Curious how you pick up the old threads when
you come back to the warm-hearted Middle West
It's the same in any part of the Great Valley
pect; but it is strongly true of Indiana. 1 hao
hardly arrived when old friends I hadn't
heard of in years were trying to reach me at The
Times, to see how they could help me get oriented
If l am to do any work l shall have to beg off from
many of the invitations.
I've been around bit since I left Indiana. I've
worked and lived in New York, Philadelphia Har-
risburg Scranton and Pittsburgh But in spite OF
their charming people and their advantages
dferent-I missed something. 1 knew what it
when 1 arrived here to begin my duties. 1t was
Indiana.
And back to writing editorials and other news
paper things. For was out of that for while
teaching. l feel like Kiplngs soldier re-enlistng
Back to the army again, sergeant;
Back to the army again
Where did learn to do right about turn?
I'm back to the army again"
And hope they let me stay.

THE President warned the other day against
ruthless depletion of the soil" which has re-
suited in waste on colossal scale" symbolized by
dust storms and mud-laden streams" He outlined
a long time AAA program designed to protect the
nations heritage of SOIL
IT there be any who think Mr.. Roosevelt was
viewing with needless alarm. they should read this
from study of soil erosion in the current issue of
Fortune:
THE city of Antioch was rich and absolute
city in the days Of Paul It's markets were famous
throughout Asia Minor It's morals were infamous as
far Rome
To-day Antioch is a miserable Syrian town of
10000 and the archaeologists who excavate it's an
Gent stones may shovel through some Is feet of
mountain washed detritus. Those who believe the
laws of nature are at one with moral law will take
a lively satisfaction in that fact Those who believe
that the laws of nature are respecters of virtue
of the Taurus and the Lebanon above the ancient
city will recall nearer and a more familiar
scene
There is after all, no philosophic difference be-
tween the fate of Antioch in Syria and the possible
fate of Garden City in Kansas. Except perhaps
this: That the fate of Garden City in Kansas is
approaching more rapidly than the fate of Antioch
approached"

IN spite of Gov. Talmadge's defense of Georgias
chain-gangs as the most humane way" of
treating prisoners, the American Prison Association
concluded its Atlantic Congress by condemning them
as utterly inconsistent with the dictates of humani-
ty,' and offering its services to help fight them
anywhere and everywhere
American public opinion will support the prison
association, and not Gov. Talmadge This is not
only because chain gangs are inhumane and I'M
American, but also because they don't work
The whipping post (also advocated by Gov Tai
madge), the strait Jacket starvation shackles and
oriures chain gangs and other sadistc survivas of
jungle justice do not reform men. They brutallze
both the victims and the administrators Mounting
crime statistics prove they do not deter but in
crime.
Instead Of cowing one man." the Wckersham
Commission reported four years ago, "repressive
rules and fortunes have aroused hundred to great
hatred and discomfort"
The American Prison Association is to be praised
for its determination to crusade for decent and
scientific treatment of prisoners

THE WILLING AUTO
a SCRIPTS. HowAKp NEwsrArERl

A SENSIBLE man won't work willing horse TO
4 death But the tax collector is just about do
ing that TO the horses successor, the more less
willing automobile.
John 7. Flynn, IN Golfers this week tells the
story OF Bib Grower Of Decatur, Limestone County,
Alabama. Every time Mr. Grower drives his modest
llttle car up to filing station four fiscal pirates
pounce him, each to demand his cut Of multiple
Federal state, county and town tax gasoline His
gallon of gas costs 10 cents the four-old levy
to II cents more almost 100 per cent sales tax on
what has become a necessity to him.
Not all of the states bear down on the autost the
way Alabama does, but to greater or less extent
you multiply Mr.. Growers troubles by 25 900 00O
the number Of cars In the United States and get an
idea how the American motorist pays and pays and
pays
Last year all state taxes totaled 81 Gal 900 000 Of
this more than half came from motorists
The mushroom growth of gas and other auto
taxes Is the result of the mistaken idea that auto
owners are all plutocrats. AS a matter of fact Mr.
Flynn says, there more car owners with incomes
under $1,000 year than with incomes of more than
$1,000. Three out Of every five car-owners have in
comes under $4,000
How long, one wonders can the willing auto bear
up under these gathering burdens?

HAMILTON FISH, LIBERAL

A THOUGH he has done it frequently in recent
months we are always little startled when
Rep. Hamilton Fish sounds off like a lusty liberal
against the iniquities Of the Old Guard Republican
machine.
Being in sympathy with what this tall and trucu-
lent New Yorker apparently is trying to do-to w.t.
kick out the old crowd and give the people chance
to reclaim the Republican party-we perhaps should
not look gift Fish in the mouth But whenever
we think of Ham Fish can't help remembering
the climax of his red hunt fiasco-when he raided
Baltimore warehouse for subversive documents and
found crate of lettuce.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
= By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

ATOMEN with small children and no servants
W have a special recreational problem. Unless
relatives help out occasionally, some of them are
whom the President was lately so reassuring. They
get breathing spell.
When they young enough themselves to long
for diversions. there is only thing for them to
do-take their babies along when they leave home.
Sometimes watching these poor tired children
one wishes such women might be more considerable
for they trot the poor little things through long
aisles of department stores while they finger ma
terials and hang the trinket counters
The children cry, and no wonder They can't
see the gorgeous array Of merchandise which so al
lures their mothers. Being only about knee high to
adults their scenery consists of multudes of trous-
cred and skrted legs and the blank walls of count
ers. They are just confused midgets in world of
giants, who surround them shutting off the air and
the view and threatening to crush them at every
turn.
When the necessity forces the mother to run her
own errands, she should lay her plans carefully so
that the trip may be made adventure for the
children. Certainly part of their WEAKNESS on
such trips is due to plain boredom. They can't see
anything; they never know what all the pushing
and showing about is for whittier they are bound
With little ingenuity things might be different
Immediately after their daily nap the children
could be promised special treat, and if upon each
trip they were shown and taught something and
pains were made go to some special place of in
terest to them, what is an ordeal for mother
and children could become pleasure for both
