And he also gives out the news that infection, by

Certainly the industrial and personal loss from the
acute disease known as the cold is far too great
Some of the large insurance companies spend
thousands of dollars advertising designed to make
people wareful of colds.
The climate Of central Indiana is not necessarily
conducive to colds, though some people think it is
The point is, cold deserves respect and should not

GOOD WORK

ME way the municipal street department at
tackled the snowfall yesterday was almost thrill
ing. Limited to IS trucks and 300 aborers it cleared
the way in the shopping district in an admirable
manner. Naturally, outlying areas had to be put on
the deferred list, for the problem was to move
Vehicular and foot traffic downtown. 1t must have
been evident to observers that the trucknen and
shovelers were doing all they could to make the
streets passable
To criticise municipal government is always easy
1t is never what perfectionists know it should be
But often it can be seen functioning for the con-
venience and protection of the citizens This was
the when traffic seemed about to bog down
due to the heavy storm. We are glad to say good
word for those who toed III the streets that people
might finish their shopping and go about their
normal business.

OTHER OPINION
A True Picture

Those persons in Indiana who
have a sincere and genuine interest
in affairs of their state, unbiased
and not directed by political favor
or ambitions, realize that a true pic
ture in Indiana today shows this
state well on the road to recovery
and prosperity, says the Blooming
ton Star.
They point with real pride to the
accomplishments of this state during
the administration of Gov. Paul v.
ATcNutt, and after viewing the dire
plight of many other states, are
grateful they can share in this new
Hoosier happiness. The cost of
government in Indiana, despite the
troublesome period through which
the state has passed, has been light
ened.

choice of going back to the old

SUGGESTS NEW WAY TO

HIS COMING
BY BARBARA PORTER

He came to us at Christmas tide,
A Baby, in manger born;
And men DER desert wastes cid ride
To worship Him that Christmas
morn.
To shepherds, tending flocks near by
There came Host from God above
"a Babe in Bethlehem doth lie,
A Message of Eternal LoVe!"
And since that day so long ago,
When God His only Son did give,
Men worship Him, both high anc

And in their hearts, He still doth

FINDS AMUSEMENT IN
CALAMITY HOWLERS
Ry Reader. Frankfort

By Reader, Frankfort
One of the amusing things about
our present economic upheaval is
the calamity bowling of those
opposed to the New Deal. It con-
sists chiefly of opposition to the
size of the public debt and the al
legged disregard for the Constitu-
ton.
AS a matter of fact. our so-called
captains of industry are not in the
least disturbed about the public
debt nor the fate of the Constitu-
ton They would gladly run the
public debt to 000,000,000 if they
knew they would restore themselves
to full power. AS to the Constitu-
ton and Supreme Court, they are
interested in them only as a means
to block and, if possible, defeat,
progressive legislation. They are
only clouding the issues by attempts
to work on the fears of the people,
hoping to work up an emotional
campaign; they would have the lit
tie fellow all excited, tearing his
hair over the dreadful debt and
the onslaught against the alleged
bulWarks of our government, the
Constitution and Supreme Court.
These captains of industry and
the Republican Party have always
worked hand in hand The cap
tains put up the dough" and the
Republicans deliver the goods.
The real issue is whether we are
to continue under the same old
protective system whereby the few
profit at the expense of the many.
This system, SO long as it's benefits
were restricted to the few, worked
fairly we'll. 1t came to an end
when the bottom went out, thus
proving it's fallacy. The tariff never
produced one single penny of
wealth. 1t merely juggled the
wealth from the pockets of the
many to the pockets of the few
AS stated, any protective system
works fairly we'll for a considerable
period so long as it's beneficiaries
are relatively few.
Since the collapse of the whole
structure it is small wonder that
the question of social security comes
up for attention. 1t is natural
sequence, and involves an extension
of the protective principle which
gneutralizes the whole scheme of
protection through tariffs and sub
tsidies.
First, the processing tax for tie
farmer. He didn't profit by the
tariff. Why shouldn't he have some
protection? This is declared uncon-
stitutional, but is no more uncon-
stitutional than the protective tariff.
AS the President has said, it all
depends on whose baby has the
measles. Now, we have something
looming up which involves the ex-
tension of this protective principle
farther than even Mr.. Roosevelt
would think of carrying 1.-THE
