That Sherif's Bill!

binary of the McNutt adminiStra-
ton.
Whether or not this last is true,
it brings us to the second point.
The actions of the Indiana's Sem
ators and Representatives were
utterly to their shame.
The legislators can be divided
into two groups: One is COM
posed of those who voted for the
bill without knowing what was in
it; the second, of those who voted
for the bill knowing full we'll what
was in it.
The first group should have
known for what they we're voting
and it is disappointing to find the
names of some otherwise bright
and shining law makers among its
members.
The second group well, the
laws of libel would prevent The
Times from publishing what this
writer thinks OF that group! And,
the fact that administration lead
ers in the Senate helped to jam
the bill across after it had been
exposed by The Times and the In
dianapolis Chamber of Commerce
is not too reasSuring.
Now, our hope seems to lie in
Gov. Paul McNutt and his veto
power. May he not disappoint us.

TIMES is PRAISED FOR
STAND AGAINST CHILD LABOR
By James r. Furbay.

BY James r. Furbay.
On the question of the Child La
Dor Amendment you have spoken
out, and you have unselfshly cham
pioned the cause of right and de-
cency. At a time when so many
newspapers have opposed it on the
obvious grounds that it would force
them to pay adult wages to all on
their payrolls, and would force them
to stop employing 10-year-old chill
dren at peddling newspapers before
daylight and after dark, your stand
for the amendment at this time can
mean nothing else but sincere hui
manitarian policy in this matter.
Your stand is fair and right. For
why should the publishers, as The
American Child has put it, lin
sist upon being the one privileged
industry with the right to employ
young children, and likewise want
the privilege of not being RESPONSE
BILE in case children are injured dur
ing the course of their employ
ment?"
This issue is not at all a ques-
ton of the freedom of the press, as
so many editors glibly insist, but is
a matter of business-of manufac-

TIMES LAUDED FOR
EDITORIAL ATTITUDE

BY a Reader.
May our God of Things as They
Are" bless The Times for giving
its editorial page of Jan. % over
so intellectually to the cause of
social justice through honest and
clear thinking. I read every article
on the page. If The Times can in
some way receive the encourage
ment to maintain this high stand
ard of stating significant facts as
they exist in reality, we will have
an Indianapolis newspaper which, if
a man will read its illuminating
editorials for year, will inform
him we'll. 1t is for the readers to
give this inspiration. Our voice,
time, thought, energy and money
can be given to no finer, more fruit
full service.
I wish to thank The Times for
the magnificent spirit in which it
accepts criticism. This greatness is
the glory which lights our path to
perfection.
The Times editorial writer whom
I criticiSe most severely must be
given credit for possessing remark
able stability of character. Ask a
psychologist if you wish to know
how greatly Americans are in need
of this ability of the organism to
remain integrated under stimula-
ton. This may appear inconsistent
with my love of fanaticism. 1t is
not; we must also have action. At
his best, this editor combines
straight thinking with his beautiful
style.

HOUSING IN THE COURTS

THE Supreme Court is asked to decide
Il whether the Public Works Administration
has the power to condemn land for SUM
clearance and low-cOst housing construction
A Cleveland judge ruled that the PWA has
the power Of condemnation, and as result
Iow-cost housing construction in that city is
proceeding apace. But a Louisville judge de-
creed that the PwA has no power Of conoem-
nation. and as a result the lOw-cost housing
program for workers in that city and in many
other cities has reached a stalemate. Nothing
more can be done until the nine justices on
the highest bench determine whether the
Cleveland judge or the Louisville judge ruled
correctly.
PWA officials have worked many months
on plans Tor Iow-cost apartment dwellings. But
to date they have acquired sites for only five
projects. owners OF eye-sore. disease-ridden
Stun areas assert their vested rights. They
refuse TO sell at what the government thinks is

Meanwhile. the money which Congress ap-
propriated for this purpose remains idle, tene-
ment landlords levy on the unfortunate who

BY Disguised Taxpayer.
Indiana politics always has
been in class by itself, but there
is something particularly, and ap-
pallingly, atrocious in the pas
sage by the General Assembly of
the sheriff's feed" bill.
First, there is the picture of the
sheriffs' lobby as it is displayed in
the news stories of The Indian
apolis Times. Elected to enforce
the laws and to aid in the
processes Of the civil courts, the
worthy Sheriffs have abandoned
their offices and their counties to
cluster in the Statehouse like flies
around the sugar bowl.
Rural sections may go unpro-
tected and summonseS remain I'M
served, but the sheriffs must make
sure of what The Times editor
has so correctly designated as
"legalized graft"
Nor. despite his plea that his
office and Jail is sorely under
stated, was Sheriff Otto Ray
missing from this group. He was,
reports have it, leader in the
lobbying. There have been ugly
rumors among those 'in the know"
that there was some kind of an
agreement between Mr.. Ray and

GOLD AND GREENBACKS
COME UP FOR HEARING
Nv PauI Svers.

BY Paul Syers.
They say, Columbus stood an
egg on end, greatly to the surprise
of those looking on. Guess our
Uncle Sam could pull trick or
two equally as clever in paying all
obligations in gold to American citi-
zens if specified in government con-
tracts and demanded by the hold
ers of these papers, and then end
up by having all the gold returned
to the Treasury.
AS is known, no citizen Of our
country is supposed to have any
gold coin of the United States, other
than few souvenirs. All the gold
moneys were turned in to the
government in exchange for green
back paper dollars, dollar for dollar,
just like the one or ones in your
pocket. Certificates demanding pay
ment in gold, yellow backs, were ex-
changed for greenbacks also, dol
lar for dollar, as there was to be no
more gold coin circulated in our
United States as money. However,
contracts, bonds, certificates or what
have you, that did not demand pay
ment in gold dollars until after
Uncle Sam took gold dollars out of
circulation, seemed to have been
forgotten at the time, and now there
is the danger of everybody having
their wages raised or something.
Well, as our dear old Uncle Sam
has all the gold coins that we're once
in circulation, he can say to his dear
children, "Sure, I'll see you are paid
in gold, just as promised"
Then, as he paid out the gold
coins to the holders of gold demand
ing contracts with one hand, he
could grab EN- with the other and
tell EN- all about it being against
the law for any one to have any
gold coin in lis or her possession,
and that he (Uncle Sam would now

TOO MANY SPINELESS

seems strange indeed there are such
weakened creatures called men
who let their wives work. If these
women would stay in their home
they would have plenty to keep
them busy. They are all too busy at
Offices to teach their children re-
spect and decency. The result is
pitiful. Then we wonder why we
have so many criminals.
The complaint that they can't get
by on the husbands pay is selfish
one. Their greed for money, for
luxury, blinds them to the fact that
they are keeping men out of work
who have families to support.

Capital Capers
BY GEORGE ARELL

POSTMASTER GENERAL JIM FARLEY was
l. broadcasting a radio eulogy of the mail
carriers of the nation from Washington studio.
AS Jim talked, his eyes occasionally wandered
toward the pane of glass separating him from
the observation ROOM In this room a large
crowd of listeners had gathered. Intent and
eager, they seemed to be hearkeTing to every
word.
Then jim looked more closely. Was it pos
sible? This crowd of auditors had their backs
turned. They were facing the opposite way, ap-
parently following something in the adjoining
room.
slight frown gathered on the Farley brow
A puzzled look darkened his mild blue eyes, Con-
Guiding his speech Jim gathered up his notes
and prepared to depart.
Whats going on there?" he finally asked a
studio official. What are they listening to?"
"Oh, they're interested in a blackface
comedian" replied the smiling radio man.

tion," continued DR.. Patterson.
After many more 1owery phrases, the Cuban
diplomat concluded with a paean of praises for
Rooseveltian craftsmanship. Courteousy and in
his fine, resonant voice, President Roosevelt
replied:
THE prime objective of the foreign policy of
this Administration" he declared, lis the forging
of enduring bonds of friendship with all nations
of the world"
Out into the pale winter sunlight, escorted by
his silk-hatted staff, marched Ambassador Pat
terson. A breeze ruffled the white plume in his
hat, as press photographers snapped him stand
ing on the White House steps.
