LET'S WEEP WITH MORGAN

ID ETURNING from his annual grouse shooting in
~ Scotland-which, he says, was unusually good
this year.. P Morgan surveys the American scene.
High taxation is the darkest cloud he sees
It's getting so, Mr.. Morgan observes, that any
man who makes any money to speak of has to
work eight months out of the year for the govern
ment We take it this man of finance must have
been thinking of the present or the future-certainy
not of $780, 81 or 49, when the government was
unable to collect any income tax from him.
AS his boat locked, Mr.. Morgan asked for a
newspaper and hurriedly scanned the latest stock
market quotation, doubtless the while calculating
how much his securities had increased in value
while he abroad and how much he would have
left after paying out two-thirds of it in taxes.
Whether Mr. Morgans remaining one third grows
more or less each year may have some bearing on
the number of country homes he can support, how
many clubs he pay dues to in New York London
and elsewhere, whether he must lay off any of
the crew of the yacht Corsar.
Whether his one-third is larger or smaller how
hardly limit the number of detective story
books he buys and reads, determine whether he
cruises around the world from east to west or from
west to east or affect his spiritual peace.
SO we grant that there is not much for Mr.
Morgan to work for-little incentive for him to
make his one-third larger year by year But it
occurs to us that there is incentive to Mr.
Morgan to do his best in respect to the thirds
to be paid over to the government.
The present Mr.. Morgan heads the third genera
ton of the Morgan family residing in this country
This country has been good to the Morgans So has
this countrys government 1t helped the first Morgan
to make his fortune, enabled him to pass it on to
the second Morgan and protected the second Morgan
while he multiplied that fortune and passed it on
to the present Morgan.
There are many Smiths and Joneses who haven't
Jared as well in this country at the hands of the
government but who probably would gladly exchange
places with Mr.. Morgan and regard the eight months
of working for the government as not exactly
period of servitude.

AUTOMOBILE INSPECTION

THE automobile death rate in Indiana this month
L. has been fantastic. Especially in the northern
tier the slaughter has been unbelievable. While it
may be harping on one string, the newspapers have
"ganged up" editorialy and are urging campaigns of
many kinds in order to get the slowed down and
the accident rate cut.
The fact that operators license may be OBJ
tanned without examination is worthy of consid-
Grafton by the Legislature.
Indiana some time will come to periodic compul-
sorry inspection of motor vehicles Granted that it
would take some antiques off the highways and
streets, compulsory inspection has the merit of
enforcing repairs to brakes lamps steering mechan-
ism, vision mirrors and other mechanical de-
tails which involved in safe driving.
The final enforcement step probably will be a
mandatory adjustment of all motors making excess
sive speed impossible.
In the meantime, the press and safety organiza-
ons will continue efforts publicize the extravagan
accident rate in the hope that the drivers themselves
will slow down bit and thus few lives,

NOT SURPRISED BY ACTION
ON BREATHING SPELL

BY r. p. Cunningham. Darlington
So the famous, or Infamous, Just
as you like it, breathing spell is to
become permanent. Is anybody
surprised at this disclosure? The
answer is: Not anybody! The only
surprising thing afloat these days
is the continued opposition of the
G. o. P, Big Business and the Com
munists to Franklin Delano Roose-
welt, his ways and his works. Where,
oh, where will the G. o. P, the
Blood Red Ones and Big Business
find another to take his place?
Earth can not answer, nor the seas
that mourn.
The Reds who were wont to be-
moan the fact that Hoover was not
given another term, and thus
allowed time to pile the boat upon
the rocks, and so have done with
the old order. But for Roosevelt,
who in these latter days promises to
out-Hoover Hoover, none of that
persuasion has so much as a pleas
ant look. What more could they
ask than to let Big Business have
another crack at us? They should
encourage the President in his de-
termination to give the country back
into the hands of it's former ex-
ploiters. Such would be good Com
munist strategy. For, in the end,
this act would cause 10000 Com
munists to spring up where there

ASKS COOPERATION OF
BICYCLE RIDERS

By ]. R. B.
While reading your column on
Saturday, I noticed plea for mo-
florists to be careful and avoid &C
cidents with bicycle riders. An ex-
cellent suggestion, and I'm sure all
motorists will Cooperate.
Now let us call on the bicycle rid
ers to help the motorists prevent
accidents to themselves and probably
others, by displaying the required
head and tail lights on their bicy-
cles when riding at night.
Heretofore this matter of bicy-
cles without lights at night has not
been given much attention except
by the motorist, who must Swerve or
stop his car on a dime to prevent an
accident or another death. Then,
for all his efforts and alertness the
motorist receives the usual, "You
crazy so-and-so, etc" from the
party with the bicycle who thinks he
should have the preference of the
street or highway. I mention this
because I saw and overheard a
similar situation on N. Meridian st.
If you ask me, Meridian-st, Massa-
chusetts-av and New York-st are
poor streets to be riding bicycles
after night without lights.
Here's hoping this matter is worth
your trouble of printing, and that it
will receive enforcement by our
county and city officers in the flu
lure.

OTHER OPINION
fort Wavne News-Sentinel7


Our public health showing leaves
much to be desired. For the country
as a whole, there has been 10 per
cent less diphtheria and IL per cent
less typhoid fever than last year;
but there has been an increase of
more than 100 per cent in total
cases of influenza, $4,000 more cases
Of measles, nearly 5000 more cases
of paralysis and $4,000 more cases
of scarlet fever. Also, smallpox has
shown an increase from 1898 to
5517 cases.
On the brighter side of the pic
ture, however, there is now an ap-
proved hospital within 20 to 80
miles of SO per cent of the countrys
population; and whereas there were
only SO hospitals able to meet
standard requirements in 1918, the
number is now 1923.
Little by little, we shall probably
solve all our health problems-pro-
vided there is no lag in public in
terest.

MORE BUSINESS REGULATION

TINE Supreme Court in unanimous opinion has
elaborated its Schechter decision on NRA by
pointing the way for more extensive state regua-
ton of business, some lawyers believe.
Justice Brandeis, foe of bigness in industry and
government wrote the decision, which upholds
Oregon law and regulations specifying size and de-
sign for strawberry and raspberry crates
In addition to rejecting arguments that the speci-
fication burdens interstate commerce and sets up
monopoly, Brandeis said significantly
The power of state to prescribe standard con-
tainers in order to facilitate trading to preserve the
condition of the merchandise to protect buyers from
deception or to prevent unfair competition is con-
ceded.
Such regulation of trade is part of the inspec-
ton laws was among the earliest exertions of the
police power in America has been persistent and
has been widely applied to merchandise commonly
sold In containers. Latterly, with the broadening
of the field of distribution and the growing use of
containers in the retail trade the scope of the reg
ulaton has been much extended"
THE Importance of this statement lies in the
tremendous emphasis which NRA laid on just
such detectives embraced in Brandeis' words
to facilitate trading" and Ito prevent unfair
petition" Brandeis fatty rejects the argument that
such regulation violates the due process" require
ment of the Constitution. But he speaking here
only Of state regulation the critical point raised
by the Schechter and other caSeS-creation of a
judge-made no mans land in which neither Fed
eral nor state governments have been able to regu-

Also deemed significant was Brandes emphasis
that questions of policy were entirely up to the
state Legislature With the wisdom of such reg
ulaton We have, of course, no concern he said for

ASSERTS u. S. LEADS IN
BUSINESS RECOVERY

BY Square Deal, New Albany
Recovery is not tagging in the
United States. 1t is farther adj
vanced than in any of the foremost
countries of the world, if the bust
ness charts of the Federal Reserve
Board are to be trusted.
This, despite the editorials from
otoher Indiana newspapers declar-
ing that ANY number of reliable
business charts" reveal "the simple
truth which is becked by "undeni-
able facts that genuine business
recovery began in the summer of
1882 throughout the world" That
in a Ghost of other nations the
curve continued upward" but in the
United States turned down again
about election and continued down
until March, 1888, since which time
the line has been up and down, but
not much net gain"
Ralph B. Wilson, vice president
of the Roger Bapson statistical or
ganization, said to the National
Business Conference at Wellesley
1AliIo, mooS., OCpG. IL
1T is true that the extensity and
intensity of our recovery up to the
present time is not fully appreciated.
The low point in the stock market
was touched and a turn up began
in Mr.. Hoover's administration
From these two bottoms, there
has been very substantial recov-
cry in general business. and secur-
tiles. The general volume of bust
ness today Sept. ID, 1885 is al per
cent greater than it was at the low
point in 1888. 1t is II per cent over
a year ago an dit is only 10 per cent
under normal"
AS to the assertion of the editor
of the Bloomfield News that lin
host of other countries the line has
continued upward, but in the United
States there has not been much
net gain" the statement of the Bah
son executive answers that in part,
but makes no comparisons with
other countries.

THE WHISTLER
BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY

I heard Whistler one dark day,
Surprised I was with joy.
His azure eyes were sparkling-gay,
His tune was bright and coy.
The whistler had no cause to know
I listened to his voice;
Or that his smile like golden glow
Made my chilled heart rejoice.
In memory now I seem to hear
His lifting, glad refrain.
Would a magic mirror might appear
And wreathe his smile again.
