BIG SHOTS SHOULD
PAY PENALTY, HE SAYS

By G. G.
Hopson's righthand man said
Hopson was sick and liable to choke
to death. Choke to death on what?
Some of that 300 per cent salary he
can't remember anything about
since 1922? Say, that old bird is a
candidate for President of the Liars
Club. When Hopson did the insult
disappearing act, I suppose Hop
sons high-prjced legal talent told
him how to suffer lapse of men,
ory and not have to answer those
questions at the investigation. Isn't
that a fine example to set for the
common people? Then society Won
ders why the poverty-stricken steal
once in a while after those big shots
in high finances and big business
get around the law.
I see where Gov. Davey wants
Uncle Sam to hand out money for
new prison in Ohio. No, Mr.. Roose-
welt. don't give him cent for that
new prison until they get the right
gang in there-those utility big
shots, bankers, f1nanciers, politi-
clans. prosecutors and public off,
Gals who have preyed on the poor
and poverty stricken people.
Then and only then make more
room but only for the big butter
and egg boys. Turn out those who
stole while in want. Let's get the big
shots in for once.

The Shoe May Be Tighter

BY a Carter Class Democrat
Let me thank w. c. Gulick for
the information in his Message
Center letter of Aug. Is that the
South has disfranchised 1,091,-
ga white families and 693,839
Negro families by requiring poll
tax receipts shown before voting.
I sincerely hope Mr.. Gulick's
figures are correct; or, if they
err, that it is because they are
too small. Now if we can only
disfranchise those millions of
others who cast their ballots
solely for personal gain-employes
of our various governmental units
and receivers Of governmental
largesse-there may be some hope
for the country,
1t is greater social evil for
the individual elector to vote
himself money out of the public
purse than for a Congressman
to accept a bride; for a Con-
gresham can be jailed for his
crime, whereas the eventual re-
suit Of the former evil is political
decadence and iSsolution-either
that or all the lessons of history
are but Pigments of the magma
ton.
To put it another way: 1
would rather entrust my future
and the future of my family to
men who have been Shrewd, en-
ergetic and able enough to &C
quire some of this worlds goods
than to place it in the hands of
the nations dimwits, crackpots
and lazy, Of which there is all
too great plethora.
see Mr.. Gulick has a cure
all OF his own. He suggests that
the industrialists start their silent
factories working full blast again,
regardless of whether they see
sales and profits ahead.
Mr.. Gulick is free to follow
that suggestion himself. He need
not be a manufacturer nor have
much capital. Let him set one
or more men to work making

SUGGESTS MOVE TO AID
MONEY CIRCULATION

By the Unknown Citizen
The lease and contract of pur-
chase may be used today where
there is hesitancy on the part of
money interests to advance funds IN
real estate transactions. This
method of dealing in real estate
saves the owner of land selling at
low prices and at the same time
helps people who have initiative
and creative mind, but lack large
amounts of capital.
For example, if merchant could
function more effectively in a diff
ferent location in the same COM
munity, it would be possible for the
owner of the more desirable location
to give the merchant a long time
lease. The merchant in turn could
purchase an up-to-date tranSpOrta-
BILE store building on the purchase
plan from the large corporations. In
this way the vacant ground would
be placed in use and the owner
could convert his speculative hold
ing of land into a revenue produc-
ing set-up. The merchant would be
able to increase the volume of trade.
On the whole the community would
be improved both as to property
values and general amount Of
money in circulation.

COMMON SENSE

DERHAPS the most significant single COM
Il ment on the new tax bill came from Sem
stor Pat Harrison Of Mississippi
Senator Harrison led the fight in the Sen
ate committee for the Administrators tax
schedules. When the committee moved out
from under him and began 10 broaden the
scope OF the bill so as to bring in more money
than the Administration had contemplated.
Senator Harrison struggled for a while and
then voted for the insurgents plan.
AS he did so. he dropped the remark that.
eve might as well go out and get some rev.
enue"
Here, at last, seems to be saving drop Of
common sense In the peculiar mixture of high
hopes and idealistic plans which has sur
rounded this tax bill from the beginning.
We might as well so out and get some
revenue" Yes, indeed-and why not2 What
else would a new tax bill be for. in a time
when the governments expenditures have been
exceeding its income for some four years in
row.
We we're told originally that this tax bill
was to introduce new principle into Amer
ican taxation. II was 10 attack the vast con-
centrations Of wealth, with the idea that they
would be scientifically reduced and shaved
down so that the world would once more be
made safe for the little fellows.
This was all very fine. and It was rather
hard TO quarrel with It. but when the Admin
istration's program was presented TO Congress
It appeared that the governments very press-

something. Anything will do.
Just start making some potentially
saleable product If he doesn't
have the money to pay the men,
let him borrow it. When he can
borrow no more, let him go into
bankruptcy. That is the fate of
the industrialist who produces
without selling his product.
Mr.. Gulick and his ilk-and the
present Administration remind
me of the quack doctor who met
up with the man with a corn on
his toe. The quack said, The
trouble is that the corn is per-
mitted to grow. You go buy your
self a new pair of tight fitting
shoes. Get shoe that will be so
tight it will stop the corn from
growing any further"
The victim did as promised, and
whel the pain was no longer
beara BILE, went back to the quack
with murder in his eye. The
quack, however, was an eloquent
man. THE trouble is" he said,
that you didn't get a tight
enough shoe. The shoe you have
still let's the corn grow Get a
shoe that is tight enough and
presses hard enough on that corn
so that it can't possibly grow"
And the chump tried it.
My view is that if Mr.. Roosevelt
wins in 1886 we're due to be wear
ing still tighter shoe for our
political corns.
Finally, Mr.. Gulick's deduction
that am a disgruntled Repub-
lican is also 100 per cent wrong.
1 never voted the Republican
ticket in my life, although I admit
I did not vote for Franklin D.
Roosevelt. If Mr.. Gulick wishes
to know my name, it is Norris
Leap. 1 signed my letter by
term to indicate my political lean
ingS as being of more significance
than my name would be to In
dianapolis readers. I am a new
conner here.

STRANGER
BY DOROTHY PERKINS

My arms are heavy with jewels Of
my beloved.
But not as heavy as the leaden
sorrow of my heart.
All day I watch the blue above the
sweet Hymettus slopes
While dream of the deep blueness
of my beloved's eyes.
All night I watch the white stars
make patterns OF the darkness
While I dream of the pure white
ness Of my beloved's robe.
So slowly the passion of my lone
illness increases.
I have been scorned. by the women
who gazed slyly at me,
The sun striking glints Of anger
from their golden armlets.
Their purple garments shimmering
with cruel righteousness.
And now I am scorned by my be-
loved who does not come,
Ny inward heart has told me that
he will not come again.
How can the faint breeze Of the
night be full Of such fragrance,
Or the moon look down so fairly
upon my silken couch7

IL is a more popular length. Ameri-
can women are a little fearful of

could be depended upon to be made
into shoes, coats for hunters. hand
bags and travelling equipment.
Then women began to wear leather
jackets for sports and school. And
n9W leather has gone on 4 rampage
ard we're seeing it in whole suits,
as slick and soft and wearable as
any fabric. What next?
Here is a suit worn by two diff

accessories. Left is Maureen O'Sul-
Ivan. that winsome Irish lass
whose face is being seen more and
more frequently in prominent roles
on the silver screen. She will score
a touchdown in the suede suit,
which IS hand-laced and designed
by Neris of Hollywood.
Even the buttons of this suit are
laced, and so is the pig grained

the same leather and shaped like a
football. The Jacket is belted. as
you see. and has small. standup
collar.

seams are laced together with
