THE SPEEDWAY REPAIRS

CTARTING OF work today on the curves Of
~ the indianapolis Motor Speedway to
lessen the dangers facing the drivers on the
famed brick oval Will be of more than pass
ing interest to followers OF the auto racing
sport
Many lives have been sacrificed on the
altar of speed at the indianapolis track in the
last few years and the steps taken by the
management Of the track in the last two sea
sons indicate a progressive attitude that
speaks well for Col Eddie Rickenbacker and
General Manager T. E. Myers
The work on the curves is announced as
q move to smooth out the turns completely,
making it possible for the automobiles to
round the curves at high speeds with more
safety. The building of higher and stronger
retaining wall is intended to halt the tragedies
resulting when speeding cars plunge into the
walls. Many Of the accidents at the Speed

HOOSIER IMPROVEMENT

THE message of Senator Frederick Van
Mugs to the all-credal rally in New York
protesting against religious intolerance of the
Hitler regime in Germany was refreshing
proof that Indiana is improving.
Not so many years ago this state was
dominated by the hooded knights of intoler-
ance and hatred. Men in high places even
as high as that held by Senator VanNuys,
were mouthpieces of the Ku-Klux Khan.
But today the state has Senator with
the intelligence and courage to say publicly:
The bulwark of civilization and liberty is
the right to worship as one pleases without
fear of any individual or government"
Nothing new in the words of the Senator,
but everything that is everlastingly true and
just

way have come when cars have plummeted
over the low retaining walls plunging along
for hundreds Of yards.
It is to be hoped that the Speedway will
eventually rebuild its stands to steel and con-
crete, making the plant completely modern in
every sense.
The Speedway track was built originally
for a maximum speed of 30 miles an hour.
The constant improving of the automobile mas
brought speeds far in excess Of that mark and
the death list at the Speedway is due in part
to the antiquity of the speed tracks turns.
For drivers to steer their machines around
9o-mile-an-hour turns at speeds approximate
ing ITO miles an hour is flirting with suicide.
ANY improvement is step forward; with the
Speedway's plans there can be no argument.

WHY PAY MONEY TO HALT
PRODUCTION? HE ASKS

By a Reader
With half of the relief funds allo-
Gated to provide employment for
only 100000 men temporarily, the
prospects do not look so rosy, as
far as printing the business pump
is concerned, or Tor the 10 other
millions out of employment.
Most of the employers who for
merly employed those on relief are
looking for some sort of windfall
or miracle to happen by which they
may again be able to employ those
on relief Just what might happen
to make this possible is foreign to
their minds.
If they knew what to do or how
TO go about starting re-employ-
ment, they would not be waiting
without attempting this job. One
thing only they are sure about and
that is, they do not want the I'M
employed put to work at the same
jobs they had before the employers
laid them off, unless they can get
the profit off the labor.
They do not know how to re-em-
ploy these men and do not want
the government to employ them
except at jobs that will not inter-
fere with the employers business
which he does not have. Here is
real dog-in-the-manger psycholo-
gy, economies and politics. If the
employers had just ordinary bust
ness sense, they would welcome an
opportunity to have the government
lease idle factory buildings and
machinery, to provide the means
for those on relief to create the
goods they need.
This could easily be done by the
government under the supervision
of the factory owners. The en-
ployer pays taxes to the govern
ment to keep his former employ
es idle and provides the tax money
to supply food, shelter and cloth
ing for not producing these goods.
All the foolish persons are not
locked up. They go into bankruptcy
themselves and will eventually do
the same thing for the government.
Why pay good money to keep the
workers from producing real
wealth? Profit made from relief
needs is blood money.

there would not be an idle man in
the country.
Nobody would hesitate for a mo-
ment to accept United States
treasury gold certificates in pay
ment of any debt.
The only reason for having only
five billion dollars in paper money
in circulation is that Congress
farmed out the creation of money
to a special privilege group.
This special group has been
authorized by Congress to do what
Congress alone has power to do I'M
der the Constitution. If Congress
had not delivered this sovereign
power to create money to banks, we
would not be in the mess we are in
now.
The farmers create foodstuffs, the
manufacturer creates goods, but the
banker creates the money crop;
the producers of food and goods pay
tribute to the group that creates
money.
The five billion dollars Of green
backs in circulation are so far be-
low the amount necessary to keep
industry operating that in normal
times the bankers create six TO ten
times as much money through loans
of credit money" which are written
up on the books of the bank as de-
posits, but which, in reality. are the
worst form of printing press
money; no taxing power is behind
this invisible CON-" which consti-
tutes 80 per cent of the debt pay
ment medium in all business.
The interest toll the consumer
and producer pay annually to this
group to create money would pay
the cost Of government. Through
this type of Initiation" the creators
Of credit money have dictated" the
producers, so that they are flat"
We are much safer in using con-
stitutional money based on the gold
in the treasury than We are in
using $40 of bankers credit money,
to one of real money, as we are do
ing now. After we print % billion
dollars of gold certificates we could
mention the danger of initiation.

CAN'T GET EXCITED ON
"OVERSUPPLY" OF MONEY
BY Reader

By Reader
With less than $50 a person in
circulation as a medium of eX-
change in this country, and much
of that in safe deposits and bank
vaults, we can hardly get excited
about an oversupply Of printing
press money" which all Of it is. ex-
cept the silver change, which
amounts to a small per cent of the
total.
Congress could authorize the
treasurer to print II billion dollars
in addition to the five billion pa
per dollars now in use, and make
every dollar Of it a sound dollar,
based on 40 per cent U. S. gold
to comply with the Federal Reserve
Act reserve requirement.
To ask Congress to carry out its
constitutional duty in the matter
of coming money and fixing the
value thereof, We are on solid
ground.
Congress has more than nine bill
lion dollars in gold in the treasury
that can be coined into gold dollars
Immediately for circulation, or be-
come the basis for the circulation

gold certificates.

know everything is all right-al-
though they may, for the moment,
not quite understand why it
wouldn't have been o. K. for
Christ to have borrowed money.
That is, if He had needed it. And
so because of this excellent refer
ence to the Bible, the meeting at
Meenasha, Wis, week ago
last Sunday was genuine grass
roots" meeting. When Republic
an begins quoting the Bible, he's
in desperate straits.
That prompts the inquiry: What
is a genuine grass rooter" any
way? Having attended the per-
formances of most of them from
Buffalo Bill up to Aimee Semple
Mcpherson, I have learned that
there are two kinds. One is the
genuine, the other is the pseudo.
The genuine grass rooters" take
the bull by the horns and throw
the bull. To this class belonged
Buffalo Bill, Grover Cleveland,
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson. Today this class is repre-
scented by the La Toilette brothers
and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The pseudos do not venture far.
Instead, when they hear a humble
bee buzzing in the grass, they feel
around with their fingers to see
what it's all about. If they with
draw a swollen finger. they run
and scream something about the
Constitution" that nobody under
stands. This habit has become
sort of religious rite with them,
and it accounts in part for their
recent tendency to quote the
Bible. Herbert Hoover, Calvin
Coolidge, Warren G. Harding and
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. registered
with the DSeuOOS.

THE CIRCUS is COMING

A CIRCUS will be in the city Monday,
L n which brings to mind the fact that many
thousands of Indianapolis and other residents
Of Indiana have had none too pleasant con-
facts with circuses.
1t is not necessary to go any farther back
than the present season to find an occasion
when thousands Of persons suffered acute dis
comfort while standing outside the big top
waiting for the crowd to come out after the
first night performance.
In all fairness it must be said that the
circus in question appeared in the city in the
midst of an unprecedented rainy season.
However, courtesy and consideration can
be shown even under severe handicaps.

There must be many, like my
self, who are wondering why the
1886 campaign is so slow in get
ting under way. My first impress
sion was that neither side had yet
agreed upon slogan, for a Presi-
dent can not be elected without a
slogan. That's unconstitutional.
But what many of us would like
to know what these so-called
grass roots" tent meetings have
to do with Saving America" Some
of US have not been able to figure
that out. I am one who missed
an important connection. What
makes it all the more confusing is
that Herbert Hoover says that he
does not choose to run for the
presidency in 1886, but that he'd
be willing to accept it in a walk.
You can't blame man for saying,
I'D rather walk" when he knows
very we'll that running is hard
work in hot weather. And so he
is forced to the alternative of ar
ranging old settlers picnics and
announcing them in the papers as
grass roots tent meetings"
Up to now from five to seven
such emergency outings have been
held in the woods in various parts
of the country. Several of these
have not yet been definitely iden-
titled as genuine grass roots tent
meetings" In some of them
lengthy passages of the Bible are
quoted as proof that the grass
roots tent meeting" is genuine.
When those in the rear of the tent
hear a big woman in white dress
and broad brimmed hat saying,
IF He ever borrowed any money,
the Gospels fail to mention it"
they forget their doubts and they

Bankers credit money will drive us
into bankruptcy. We need the life
belt of gold that lies in the vaults
of the treasury at Washington.
The RFC should become the bank

the pay dirt away from them. They
will take ours of if we don't.
